Journey to the West: Building a Celestial Empire Starting from Lion Camel Ridge

Chen Ping'an spread the map out in front of him.

On this map, each red dot represents a human.

The two in the northeast corner are still huddled in the corner, not moving much.

That does fit the style of Buddhism.

The place in the middle of the map with more than a dozen red dots is your shelter.

Chen Ping'an skipped over it.

As for the original five red dots in the mass grave, only two remain now.

In addition, there are two red dots surrounding the ancient well in the center of the town.

There is a red dot in the southeast corner of the first-level town.

The ancient well in the town is probably where Qiao Yu and Mu Ling are.

After all, the Myriad Souls Banner in Qiao Yu's hands requires countless Yin souls.

"It seems that these four people have separated."

Thinking back to the fact that only Tao Fei and Huang He led the demon soldiers a few days ago, Chen Ping'an secretly made a plan.

It seems that the two people currently active in the mass grave are Huang He and Tao Fei.

And what about the red dot in the southeast corner?

Chen Ping'an was slightly taken aback.

Have other humans come to White Bone Town?

Chen Pingan carefully calculated the current number of red dots, checked it repeatedly, and finally made a determination.

Indeed, new people have arrived in the ruins of White Bone Town.

Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen.

"It's still best to be cautious."

He put away the map, transformed back into a cicada, and headed towards his target.

......

"Even the snow wolf was killed by Chen Ping'an. Now, we have no hope of revenge."

Inside a tomb, Tao Fei sighed.

For the past two days, the two have not dared to go to the stronghold where the White Bone Demon is located, but have only sent messages through the sound transmission jade talisman.

Upon learning that his most trusted subordinate had been killed, the Bone Demon flew into a rage and declared that he would send a new commander, though the progress of this action is currently unknown.

But this time, the two were truly terrified and hid in the tomb, refusing to come out no matter what.

If the five of them go for the first time and no human casualties are killed in the shelter, there is still room for negotiation between the two sides.

Right now, it's a complete dead end.

Howling Moon Wolf killed Fan Qiming and severely injured Wanyan Liang.

The people in the shelter will never let them get away with it.

The Bone Demon wouldn't give them a friendly look either.

"This mass grave is filled with the aura of death, and the people in the shelter dare not enter lightly. We are safe here for the time being."

"I have already dispatched the Rat God. If there is any danger, he will be able to inform us immediately."

Huang He said in a low voice from the side.

"You're so thoughtful, unlike those two idiots, Qiao Yu and Mu Ling, who only think about fighting and killing all day long."

Tao Fei covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her smile alluring.

.......

Under the torrential rain.

The golden cicada that Chen Ping'an had transformed into flapped its wings and flew in mid-air.

Large raindrops fell on his thin cicada wings several times, almost knocking him down to earth.

"These seventy-two transformations are very useful, but after transforming into human form, they no longer possess the previous supernatural powers."

Chen Ping'an flew cautiously while inwardly grumbling.

Just then, Chen Pingan noticed a gray rat hiding under the withered branches and leaves not far away.

Ok?

The cicada slowly descended onto a tombstone.

"Huang He has a rat general; could this be it?"

After all, there are very few living creatures in this mass grave.

The appearance of this rat is truly illogical.

Moreover, the rat was raising its head and looking around, appearing to be keeping watch.

"Perhaps I can use this rat to sneak up on these two people without them noticing."

Chen Ping'an's mind raced.

This rat general is probably sent by Huang He to keep watch.

I just don't know if their communication is real-time?

Or will the Rat God go directly to find its master after noticing the commotion?

Chen Ping'an decided to stay on the tombstone and observe the situation.

After a while, the mouse sniffed the air and crawled out from under the leaves.

The heavy rain soaked his gray fur.

Chen Ping'an looked at the rat and decided to follow it closely.

......

Ruins of White Bone Town, southeast corner.

A person walked slowly.

He was dressed in black and had a full beard.

He carried a long sword on his back, his face etched with the marks of time.

The rain poured down, yet it couldn't penetrate even a foot around him.

"Think back to those days when we were drinking fine wine with Li Jing in this White Bone Town, now it has been turned into ruins."

"Things have truly changed."

The bearded man gazed at the devastation before him and sighed deeply.

The longsword on his back seemed to sense its master's sorrow, emitting a clear, ringing sound.

"I just don't know why this place has become like this."

As the bearded man stepped into the ruins, he felt an overwhelming aura of death and malevolence.

A bone demon, oblivious to the danger, charged towards him.

The bearded man pointed out with one finger.

The bone demon was frozen in place by some inexplicable force.

The bearded man scrutinized them carefully, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise, "Such ruthless methods!"

Having traveled to famous mountains and rivers all over the world for many years, he had already entered the realm of the Transformation God.

It was immediately obvious that this bone demon was a former resident of White Bone Town, who was killed and refined into this form.

Anger surged within his chest.

He continued striding forward.

Before long, relying on his memory, he arrived at a ruin.

"I never imagined that the Taibai Restaurant of yesteryear would have fallen into such a dilapidated state."

The bearded man sighed deeply.

Fine wine is no longer available, and the person is gone.

Just then, the bearded man suddenly listened intently.

A dense chorus of footsteps sounded behind me.

He turned around abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.

.......

Inside the tomb.

Soft jade, warm and fragrant, with sweat dripping down.

The two of them are now facing certain death at any moment, which can be considered a sign of their dissolute behavior.

Tao Fei's eyes were glazed over, and Huang He was about to stand and attack.

A cold wind whistled through the cracks in the tomb door, but it couldn't blow away the sweat on the two men's bodies.

A gray rat scurried in through the entrance to the tomb.

Seeing the two intertwined, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, who had a deep friendship, seemed to freeze in place.

Huang He raised his head.

"What's wrong?"

Halfway up the mountain, Tao Fei became quite dissatisfied.

She opened her dazed eyes and looked at Huang He.

"The Rat God said there was some movement."

"This...is so untimely."

Tao Fei was helpless, but there was nothing she could do.

The two finished their hasty exercise.

"What's that noise?"

Tao Fei suppressed the romantic thoughts in her heart and looked at Huang He, who was holding the Rat God to his ear.

The latter looked slightly solemn.

"The Rat God saw a golden cicada."

"Golden Cicada?"

"Could it be a cicada from Buddhism? How strange! Buddhism is located in the northeast corner, why would they send a cicada to this mass grave?"

They naturally didn't know that the golden cicada was actually Chen Ping'an in disguise.

This is because the supernatural power of seventy-two transformations is extremely rare.

The two were only at the Foundation Establishment stage and had never heard of it.

A moment later.

Tao Fei's expression changed slightly: "Did you hear that?"

"What?"

Huang He was slightly taken aback. At this moment, he was somewhat absent-minded, having reached a state of transcendence.

However, he soon heard it.

That was the sound of a cicada flapping its wings.

The two of them looked up.

A golden cicada flew in through the crack in the small tomb door.

......

The bearded man turned around.

A demonic aura surged into the sky.

The leader was a handsome young man.

Dressed in a magnificent robe, he exuded extraordinary nobility.

Behind him were more than ten demon soldiers, their fierce and menacing expressions radiating menacing power.

When the demons saw the bearded man standing alone in the ruins, they immediately surrounded him with ill intent.

The bearded man did not release his aura; in their eyes, he was nothing more than a mortal.
