Chapter 812 Lure the snake out of its hole 1
Wunian City has recently become lively because Youming, the "Ghost of Joy," is holding a marriage ceremony here and has invited many friends to participate. He says he has found "true love" this time.

"Have you heard? The Joyful Funeral Ghost is going to hold a marriage ceremony in Wunian City."

"How could I not have heard about something this big? With his infamous reputation, what kind of good Daoist partner could he possibly find? Maybe his partner will just disappear again in a few decades."

It seems that the people who joined the discussion this time know Youming's background.

"In this kind of thing, it's definitely a case of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive."

"He has now climbed up to the lord of Puyang City, which has given him a powerful backer."

"Tch, with Youming's reputation, the city lord of Puyang wouldn't even look at him."

"Then the city lord allowed him to hold a grand marriage ceremony in Wunian City?"

"What else could it be? You all know about what happened here not long ago, right?"

"Naturally, all the cultivators in the inn disappeared. The city lord investigated for a long time but found nothing. Many low-level ghost cultivators were frightened and left Wunian City. If this continues, this place will become a ghost town sooner or later."

Therefore, the city lord probably wants to use the marriage ceremony of the "joyful ghosts" to attract a group of ghost cultivators to settle in Wunian City.

"How do we choose him?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

"I heard that the partner of this 'Joyful Funeral Ghost' is a disciple of a major sect, and that the other party has some connection with the City Lord of Puyang, which is why they chose to hold the marriage ceremony here. Haven't you noticed that there are more ghost cultivators coming to Wunian City these past two days?"

"Hehe, that's true. We can join in the fun too. I heard that Youming's girlfriend has arrived in Wunian City, and the procession entering the city is quite impressive."

"Your information is outdated. I heard that Youming has been targeted by his Daoist partner this time."

"You mean Youming didn't do it voluntarily?"

"He absorbed the soul power of countless Daoist partners to reach his current level of cultivation; now it's finally his turn."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding ghost cultivators immediately understood that the other party did not genuinely want to become partners with Youming, but rather sought to seize his soul power, just like Youming had.

"Tsk tsk, this is going to be interesting. Do you think the ghost of a happy funeral will accept its fate?"

"Then let's see who's more capable!"

"Are you going in a few days?"

"Go, of course I'll go. There aren't many opportunities to see high-level ghost cultivators in Wunian City."

At this moment, the evil cultivator hidden in the shadows had a glint in his eyes. He moved to another place to continue listening to the ghost cultivators' discussions. In the end, he even went to the News Pavilion and bought all the information about Youming, the "Joyful Funeral Ghost." Not long after, he left Wunian City.

Shortly after he left, a white-headed black raven also flew away from Wunian City.

At this moment, inside the city lord's mansion, You Ming, the "Ghost of Joy and Death," sat in the guest courtyard with unstable soul power, surrounded by a group of high-level cultivators watching him.

“Amitabha! The karma accumulated from this life of cultivation should be dispersed and a new cultivation should begin as soon as possible.”

Wu Wang twirled the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, his eyes shining as he looked at You Ming.

Ren Tianning stared at You Ming with her beautiful eyes for a while before lazily speaking:

"If he continues to cultivate, he will lose his mind and eventually die from a runaway of his soul power."

In her eyes, Youming was a collection of mixed powers, on the verge of collapse. The newly joined Han Baifeng rubbed his nose and said:
"The smell is a bit awful, can we kill it?"

Fox-like handsome man, his fox-like eyes darting around, said:

"Bear with it for now. He's the main bait that the city lord of Puyang invited. Without him, the show can't go on."

Han Baifeng and Hu Yingjun arrived in Wunian City the day before. Originally, he was going to Wugui City, but after receiving news that cultivators from various regions who came to provide support were in Wunian City and had devised a plan to lure them out, they changed their route and came to Wunian City instead.

The people from the Demon Realm were all acquaintances. Yunxi hadn't expected that the Demon King Fengling would send them. She casually asked and learned that the evil cultivators' actions in the Demon Realm had had a significant impact, and many outstanding junior demon cultivators had perished.

Therefore, the Demon King needs to reorganize the Demon Realm and appease the demons who have lost their outstanding successors. After all, the growth cycle of the next generation of demons is too long, and it takes a long time to cultivate the next qualified successor.

However, since the Ghost Realm had spoken, the Phoenix Spirit Demon King couldn't just leave without sending anyone. Hearing that Yun Xi was also going to provide support, he directly ordered Hu Yingjun and Han Baifeng to go, and instructed them to follow Ran Xi's arrangements after they arrived.

They all ascended from the Weiyu Realm, so they still have some face and connections. The two of them are just there to make up the numbers; they just need to put on a show.

Yunxi's lips twitched slightly after hearing this, but she didn't say much. Han Baifeng and Hu Yingjun had a good understanding of her strength and were sure they could cooperate well with her, so the two of them smoothly integrated into the support team.

Youming was sent by the Lord of Lizhe City. He left after the bait was delivered. Wugui City cannot be without a master for a day. He was afraid that the evil cultivators' next target would be Wugui City.

Youming appeared weak and helpless at this moment. He never imagined that one day he would have to sacrifice himself for the Ghost Realm and be watched by a group of high-level cultivators. Among them, he hated the two bald monks the most, and the female cultivator with the highest cultivation level. This female cultivator was the most effective at restraining him.

Yunxi exchanged a few words with Cao Yi beside her, and then Cao Yi took out an array plate, drew a wisp of Youming's soul power, and put it into the array plate. After the array plate was activated, it enveloped Youming.

The city lord of Puyang coughed lightly and said:

"I've already spread the rumors. Now most of the ghost cultivators in the city know that Youming has climbed up to a disciple of a major sect and is going to hold a marriage ceremony in Wunian City."

Moreover, the rumors are a mix of truth and falsehood, which won't arouse suspicion from the lurking evil cultivators. Now we just have to see if they will take any action.

Yun Xi smiled and said:

"The evil cultivator I marked has left Wunian City, but two days later he re-entered Wunian City with a different face and sent a white-headed black crow to deliver a message. As for where the white-headed black crow will go, we will only know after it lands."

This news doesn't prove that the evil cultivators will make a move on the day of the Youming Couple Ceremony, but it's a good sign. The fact that the evil cultivators have returned at least indicates that they have designs on this Couple Ceremony. All that's left is to wait and see.

Xun Kun suddenly spoke up:

"Youming is in a relationship. Has he decided on his partner yet?"

The person who made a grand entrance into the city that day was Hu Yingjun in disguise, but when it came to the actual marriage ceremony, Hu Yingjun definitely couldn't go anymore. After all, his cultivation level was a bit lacking, and what if he couldn't suppress You Ming?
Finally, everyone's attention settled on Ren Tianning and Yun Xi, as they were the only two female cultivators with enough cultivation to subdue You Ming.

Yunxi thought for a moment and then said;
"How about I pretend to be Youming's partner?"

Ren Tianning asked with a smile:

"Are you sure?"

"That depends on whether the evil cultivators will take the bait."

After discussion, everyone decided to tentatively choose Yunxi, with Ren Tianning as a backup candidate, and adjust the selection process if the plan changes.

After discussing the matter, everyone left the place where Youming was imprisoned. As they returned to their courtyards, Xunkun handed a jade slip to Yunxi:
"This is the information you asked me to find out."

See you tomorrow, goodnight~
