Chapter 618: Opportunity to Build an ArmyHades.

Outside the water burial valley.

Sun Lingtong's cavalry squad was surrounded and the situation was critical.

The leader’s cultivation level is as high as the Golden Core, and the Yin soldiers under his command are also elite, at least at the Foundation Establishment level.

Sun Lingtong could also sense that there were many ambushes hiding nearby. At least a dozen golden elixir auras were deliberately leaked out to intimidate him.

The Bull Riders subconsciously gathered around Sun Lingtong, waiting for the latter's order, and then they would risk their lives to cover the rear and protect Sun Lingtong from breaking out.

But there is absolutely no possibility of survival if you break out.

Although Sun Lingtong is only a soul that has entered the underworld, it is also a part of his life. These ghost generals in the underworld are all good at ghost magic, and their methods for dealing with souls are endless.

Therefore, once Sun Lingtong's soul is captured, his fate will be worrying.

"Boss!" Ning Zhuo was secretly anxious in the world of the living.

Sun Lingtong was quick-witted. At this critical moment, he did not forget to comfort Ning Zhuo: "Don't worry, little brother, just look at me."

After secretly exchanging this, he smiled flatteringly: "My lord, we are not outsiders."

"Look at this, it's proof enough."

Sun Lingtong took out a token and showed it to the other party.

When the Jindan Ghost General saw the token, he was stunned: "What is your relationship with General Luo Si?"

This token was given by Luo Si to facilitate Sun Lingtong to join the army and enter the world of the living.

Sun Lingtong deliberately said mysteriously: "Of course we have an extremely close relationship, otherwise, Lord Luo would not have given me this token, right?"

The Jindan Ghost General fell into silence.

Luo Si is the main general and is very popular, so he should not be offended.

There is also a realm of cultivation in the underworld, where order is even more important than in the world of the living. Ghosts who violate the order often suffer torture in the eighteen levels of hell.

The Jindan ghost general took the token first, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was the real thing, he threw it to Sun Lingtong: "Go, go, go, I won't catch you this time."

"Don't come near the Water Burial Valley!"

"You're lucky this time. Next time you come, I'll catch you directly, no matter what your connections are."

Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth and tried to send a telepathic message: "But I have a mission, I wonder if you can help me? Any price is negotiable."

“How dare you! How dare you bribe this general!!” The Jindan ghost general suddenly glared and shouted with his spiritual consciousness, “My master has personally issued a strict order. If you bribe me, you are trying to kill me!”

Seeing that there was no possibility of bribery, Sun Lingtong quickly apologized, decided to quit while he was ahead, and turned away.

He led the bull cavalry to distance themselves from the enemy, but did not actually withdraw. Instead, he slowly walked around the Water Burial Valley, thinking hard about how to break the impasse.

"We must meet the Gray Bone Old Man, otherwise how can we accomplish anything?"

"Damn it! This Lord Wangchuan is worthy of being the ruler of this place. He actually acts so carefully."

"What should I do, Xiaozhu?"

Sun Lingtong racked his brains but couldn't think of a solution, so he asked Ning Zhuo for help.

Ning Zhuo also frowned, and was at a loss for a moment: "It is not advisable to take the risk of sneaking in. Since the Lord of Wangchuan has sent his personal soldiers, he must have set up many formations."

"Boss, if it really doesn't work, just come back."

"To be honest, the crisis in Baizhixian City was not caused by us. At worst, we can help some of the citizens evacuate."

Ning Zhuo was shocked when Sun Lingtong was in trouble just now.

This is not like in the Huoshi Immortal City. In Huoshi Mountain, Ning Zhuo can still go to the prison to rescue Sun Lingtong.

But he can't get anything from the underworld.

Therefore, compared to his mother's arrangement or last wish, he did not want anything to happen to Sun Lingtong.

As Sun Lingtong sighed, black snow began to fall from the sky.

Look carefully, each snowflake is paper ash.

The divine talisman that Sun Lingtong held close to his chest was stimulated, emitting a warm current that continuously penetrated into Sun Lingtong's soul, causing his foundation to continue to rise.

Sun Lingtong was a little wary at first.

This is because every time black snow falls, ghosts will appear frequently and rob each other.

However, he waited for a long time, but no ghost appeared.

"Strange... No, not strange!" Sun Lingtong reacted and turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the Water Burial Valley.

"These people must have cleared out all the ghosts in the vicinity!"

In an instant, a chill ran down Sun Lingtong's heart.

The other party acted so carefully and ruthlessly, so letting Sun Lingtong go just now could be considered as saving his life in the true sense.

"It's really not advisable to stay here for long, Boss, let's come back." Ning Zhuo also thought of this and reminded him immediately.

Sun Lingtong sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly pulled the reins to stop the cow's hooves.

"Wait!" His eyes sparkled with brilliance, making it impossible to look directly at him for a moment.

"Huh?" Ning Zhuo was also surprised.

Sun Ning and the other person both discovered that on the rocks in front of Sun Lingtong, some black snow had fallen and floated in the air, condensing into a rough human-shaped ash.

Two ghost lights suddenly lit up in the empty eye sockets of the human-shaped ash. He turned his head and looked at Sun Lingtong: "Are you the one who caused the change in fate in the world of the living this time?"

"Hmm... Is it just the soul entering the underworld?"

At just one glance, the human-shaped ash saw through Sun Lingtong's background.

Sun Lingtong's face was full of vigilance: "Who are you?"

The humanoid ash laughed and said, "You must have guessed it. Yes, I am the old man with gray bones that you are looking for."

Sun Lingtong remained alert: "How can I prove it?"

The human-shaped ash raised his finger and said only three words, which made Sun Ning and the others completely believe it.

"Meng Yaoyin." He directly said Ning Zhuo's mother's name.

Sun Lingtong's expression eased a little: "In that case, please give me your guidance!"

The ash clone of the old man with gray bones was also very straightforward. He directly sent a message through his spiritual consciousness: "Lord Wangchuan has been planning for nearly a hundred years. It is not easy to destroy his plan."

"Fortunately, we have been preparing for many years, so this is not a hasty move."

"When the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Ceremony is completed, the Heavenly Ghost Skull will be completely refined. We need to destroy this Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony before it is completed."

"And in order to break into the altar of the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Ceremony at the last minute, three conditions must be met. Let me explain in detail first."

"First, the soul foundation of at least one million human souls."

"Secondly, there must be enough evil energy to suppress it."

"Third, you must have enough destiny to endure the punishment from the gods!"

Sun Lingtong stared, because the information told by the Gray Bone Old Man himself was different from what Meng Yaoyin left behind.

He asked decisively: "Wait a minute!"

"To break into the final altar, doesn't that mean we have to face the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion in the end?"

"Also, what's the matter with bearing divine punishment? We are destroying this conspiracy, isn't that a good thing? Why do we have to bear divine punishment?"

Ning Zhuo interrupted: "Boss, first ask him why he wants to help us deal with the Lord of Wangchuan Prefecture." Sun Lingtong nodded secretly, and immediately added: "Also, Senior Huigu, I don't know why you want to deal with the Lord of a prefecture? Do you have a grudge against him?"

The Ashes clone laughed, shook his head, and continued to transmit his thoughts: "No hatred, no grudge."

"But I have more reasons to do this!"

"The reason is that I am a fortune-teller. I follow the way of fortune-teller, advocate following the will of heaven and earth, and study the secrets of destiny."

"The Heavenly Ghost has long since perished, but now it is trying to reverse the practice and reincarnate. Even if it is only a part of it, it is against the will of Heaven. This is one reason."

"Lord Wangchuan himself possesses a powerful talent, but as the king of this area, he still feels that it is not enough and is greedy. He wants to take a step further, which violates the upper limit of the king's order. This is the second reason."

"In order to refine the skull of the Heavenly Ghost, the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion held the Heavenly Ghost Rebirth Ceremony, intending to bribe the heavens of the underworld and sacrifice the things of the heavens of the living. He wanted to sacrifice the entire White Paper Immortal City with blood. Such behavior is truly a demonic way and a great violation of the harmony of heaven. This is the third point."

"He used favors to blackmail me before, and he personally entered the valley to force me to conceal the secrets of the White Paper Immortal City. Now he has imprisoned me in the Water Burial Valley in disguise. This is the fourth."

"These four points are enough for me to go all out to deal with him."

"After all, Lord Wangchuan and I are not on the same path."

"I want to follow the will of Heaven, but he wants to go against it and change his fate. This is a difference in the Tao, and even more of a dispute!"

Sun Lingtong: "Dao Zheng..."

Ning Zhuo, on the other hand, was chewing on these two words, and for the first time he deeply felt the cultivation scene of high-level cultivators.

The old man observed Sun Lingtong's expression and saw that he had initially gained his trust, so he continued, "Answer your two previous questions again."

"You may indeed face the Lord of Wangchuan!"

"At the final moment of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, the Lord of the Mansion will definitely be at the altar, but this is not absolute."

"At that time, we can split our troops into two groups. One group will go to Wangchuan Prefecture to attack their lair and lure them back for reinforcements. The second group will lead the army to attack the altar directly."

“Regardless of whether the Lord of the Mansion will be lured away by us, his fighting power will be weakened to the extreme because of the need to maintain this heavenly sacrifice ceremony!”

Hearing this answer, Sun Lingtong frowned and asked the most crucial question directly: "To what level will the Lord of Wangchuan be weakened? The answer is crucial!"

Gray Bone Old Man: "I can be sure that he is definitely not at the peak of the Spiritualization level, but at least at the Nascent Soul level."

"Nascent Soul level, are we relying on ourselves?" Sun Lingtong felt extremely embarrassed.

Gray Bone Old Man: "Lord Wangchuan is under much greater pressure than you can imagine."

"His move this time is huge, and the surrounding lords will not sit idly by and watch him get promoted."

“So, he took a lot of precautions.”

"One of them is that in order to enter the altar, one must undergo the test of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony."

"Those who do not meet the three requirements of soul, evil spirit, and fate will not even be able to ascend the altar."

"But don't worry, since you are the savior of the changes in the destiny of the mortal world, you are naturally the calamity star of Lord Wangchuan. It is quite easy to meet these three points."

"Look, the heaven-granted talisman in your arms can help you quickly increase your foundation and reach a million human souls."

"As for the evil spirit, it's even simpler. You can just use the military evil spirit. You don't have it now, so you can go to Baizhi Xiancheng to get it."

"As for fate... huh?"

Having said that, the ash clone of the old man with gray bones counted with his fingers and his expression changed.

He stared at Sun Lingtong: "Your fate... You are not the savior this time!"

Sun Lingtong shrugged: "Of course not. I am only here on orders, and I will report truthfully. You can rest assured about this, senior."

The old man with gray bones stared at Sun Lingtong's heaven-granted talisman: "This talisman was planned for a long time by me and set up for the savior."

Sun Lingtong: "Well, I'll tell you the truth, Senior, our savior has already had a million souls."

"If you're talking about the military spirit, he's even participated in a domestic war before. Maybe he's already satisfied."

The old man with gray bones nodded first: "As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. If something went wrong with my plan, it's okay as long as it's not critical."

Then, he shook his head again: "No, there are more details to the evil spirit."

"You must have the corresponding evil spirits to enter the altar, otherwise you will not be recognized. Therefore, it is best to gather the evil spirits in the White Paper Immortal City."

"Lord Wangchuan wants to offer a blood sacrifice to the White Paper Fairy City to satisfy his own selfish desires, which is equivalent to actively presenting his weakness to the heavens of the living world. One sip and one bite, and the fate is mysterious!"

"You can condense the military evil spirit to increase the power of military tactics. When the time comes, lead an army, fight into the underworld, protect the savior and rush to the altar, and destroy the master's century-long plan."

Sun Lingtong waved his hand: "We are talking about the army again. Senior Huigu, where do we get the army? Even if it is an army of paper figures, there are no military positions or organizations, and we cannot withstand the art of war."

The old man seemed to be quite confident: "It is indeed quite difficult to create an army. But don't worry, fate will definitely bring the opportunity to you."

Sun Lingtong: "Then senior, can you tell me something?"

The old man with gray bones kept shaking his hands: "No, no. My luck has already dropped very badly. Before, Lord Wangchuan asked me to repay him, which was also consuming my luck to prevent me from being used by others."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, there will naturally be an army."

After saying this, the ash clone dissipated on the spot.

Sun Lingtong stared blankly: "Hey, don't go, senior!"

The call yielded no results.

Sun Lingtong said to Ning Zhuo in frustration, "Why does it feel like it doesn't matter whether I talk to Old Man Huigu or not?"

Ning Zhuo: "No, there are still significant benefits. At least we know how to act."

Sun Lingtong was a little worried: "But aren't you afraid that he is deceiving us?"

Ning Zhuo smiled: "At least my ring didn't move."

Sun Lingtong also laughed: "Forget it, this is what you want to do, let's do it!"

The two reached an agreement.

White Paper Fairy City.

Li Xiangshang's heart sank. "The Sun family actually has this attitude? They don't want to influence Sun Tiesheng, but secretly support him?"

"What should I do?"

Dean Zheng looked embarrassed: "Sun Tiesheng is so determined to follow his path, so it is understandable that the Sun family reacted in this way."

Li Xiangshang is facing difficulties.

Sun Tiesheng is almost the only suitable candidate. If he refuses, how can Li Xiangshang complete the task assigned by Long Jun?

Li Xiangshang asked Dean Zheng, who pondered and said, "The Sun family's attitude is nothing more than that they feel that there are no other competing candidates except Sun Tiesheng."

"If Shen Bing and Chen Sui were still here, they would definitely force Sun Tiesheng to accept the demon seed in a hurry."

"Why not pretend to choose one, bluff them, and arouse their urgency?"

Li Xiangshang pondered and said, "That's a good idea. Who should I choose?"

Dean Zheng shook his head and said that Li Xiangshang needed to make the decision himself.

With this question in mind, Li Xiangshang walked out of Zhuangyang Hospital and ran into Qingchi head-on.

In an instant, the answer flashed in Li Xiangshang's mind: "Okay, let's choose Jiao Ma!"

He came to Qing Chi and said, "Miss Qing, you have been unable to see Jiao Ma again and again. I can help you. As long as you are strong and have an impact on the overall situation, Baizhi Xiancheng will stand on your side."

Qing Chi: "My strength is already strong enough. It is difficult to improve my cultivation in a short period of time."

Li Xiangshang smiled and said, "It's difficult to improve your cultivation, but it's different for combat power. I happen to have a talent that can help you create a temporary army."
