Chapter 457: Retreat?
The evil ghost was grabbed by Gu Shiyi's ghost hair on the top of his head, which looked like dry grass. He felt that the big hand holding him was extremely hot. Before he could even say a word, he screamed in fear.

“Ahhhh… spare me!”

It only said two words, and the evil ghost with a green face and fangs spontaneously combusted. In just a few blinks of an eye, it turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in Gu Shiyi's hand!
"Wow..."

Along the way, the evil ghosts who had been lurking around them were so frightened when they saw such a ferocious monk coming that they screamed and ran away in a flash. Gu Shiyi looked at his empty hands, shook his wrists, and shrugged at Pu Yanlan with an innocent look on his face.

"I did not do it on purpose!"

Pu Yanlan sighed, turned around and gave an order,
"Go ahead and ask around!"

The little ghosts agreed, flew out and ran to the front to inquire about it, and then came back to report.

"Master, there are still twenty miles ahead. Not far ahead is a dark river. There is another ghost king occupying that place..."

This one was not as smart as the one in front. The one in front found that two of the people in the group were not easy to deal with, but he did not even show his face and directly let the five people pass through his territory. The one by the river was a little ungrateful. He yelled and led a bunch of little ghosts out. Pu Yanlan only asked Tong Ling to lead the little ghosts out to fight. Not long after, Tong Ling came back with a collar.

"Master, the other ghost king has been beaten to ashes. This is the ghost weapon I got!"

Pu Yanlan took a look and saw that there were three huge copper bells hanging on the big collar. The copper bells were emitting a bright yellow light. It was obvious that they were not ordinary items. However, they were now contaminated by ghost energy. People could not use them, but ghosts could still use them. She said,

"If you have earned it, keep it for yourself!"

Tong Ling showed a look of joy and saluted Pu Yanlan quickly before leading his ghost soldiers to retreat.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi asked curiously,
"Tong Ling is just a ghost general now, how can she defeat the ghost king?"

Pu Yanlan responded,
"Although the realms of these ghost generals under my command are a little lower, they have all been trained by me. In addition, the ghost soldiers are usually trained, advance and retreat in moderation, and obey orders. Compared with the little ghosts on the opposite side, they are much more powerful, so it is not difficult to deal with this grass-roots ghost king!"

This is the difference between regular troops and bandits!
Moreover, among the three ghost generals, although Tong Ling has followed Pu Yanlan for the longest time, her ability is the worst. If Hongyi takes action, I am afraid she can defeat the opponent single-handedly!
Liu Zhu'er and the other two standing by were also secretly shocked.
"She, a ghost general, was able to defeat the other side's ghost king. It seems that this woman must have profound cultivation in the way of ghosts!"

With this ghost king as an example, all the big and small ghosts along the way were frightened. In this way, they arrived at the Soul Cleansing Valley unimpeded. There were several ghost kings in the Soul Cleansing Valley. After they discussed it, they immediately tactfully ordered the little ghosts to make way and let the group enter to pick the fallen leaf bodhi.

The trip went surprisingly smoothly, and Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan felt much more relaxed. After the three men finished picking the fallen leaves of Bodhi, the transaction was completed. Liu Zhuer bowed to the two and said,

"This trip went very smoothly, all thanks to you two Taoist friends. You two Taoist friends are righteous people. I hope I can have the opportunity to travel with you again next time!"

Pu Yanlan smiled and nodded, and entrusted Liu Zhuer with the task.
"It is very useful to practice the way of ghosts here. My sister and I will not return to Yongcheng. I would like to ask you to take a message to Master Wan, saying that we sisters are grateful for his care and we will visit him again if we have the chance in the future!"

Liu Zhuer nodded.
"I will definitely deliver the message!"

The five people said goodbye here. After the three of them left, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan found an ownerless place in the Thousand Souls Mountain and lived there. Gu Shiyi took out his hatchet and dug a cave in the mountain. The cave was very large, allowing Gu Shiyi to let the fur balls out to play. Pu Yanlan released all the ghost generals and ghost soldiers under his command, and let them practice how to control the demon corpses when they had nothing to do, and then searched everywhere for the treasures they needed.

Suddenly, a powerful monk with countless ghost soldiers and generals came to the Thousand Souls Mountain. The ghost kings did not dare to offend him, but sent their ghost generals to visit him. Some worldly-wise ghost kings even presented a greeting gift to their new neighbors. Pu Yanlan was also very polite and gave him the elixir she made in return. There was a shortage of elixir here, so the ghost kings who got the elixir were overjoyed, while the ghost kings who didn't regretted it.
"If I had known that this monk was so easy to talk to, I would not have gone empty-handed when I visited him!"

Gu Shiyi took the red fox, the old horse, the dragon soul and the fur balls to wander around the Thousand Souls Mountain. However, this was an extremely dark place. There was nothing much except unlimited ghosts. There was no food for the fur balls. So Gu Shiyi took them to hunt in a mountain range eight hundred miles away.

A thousand miles north of Qianhun Mountain there is a big city called Fuli. Fuli City is also under the jurisdiction of Guanshan Tower and is under the jurisdiction of Wen Rengeng of the 25th Floor. The two of them would go to the markets of Yongcheng and Fuli City from time to time to buy what they needed and to inquire about the news. Another year had passed like this and they had collected almost 80% of the materials for the pretty boy. However, they could not collect the last 20% no matter what. The pretty boy's condition was getting worse day by day. Even if he was saved now, he would probably need to rest for a long time. The two of them discussed it and decided to...
"I'm afraid we can't live here anymore. We have to find the last few things..." The missing things were not available here, so they had to go to the westernmost part of the continent. The two packed up their things and set off to the west the next day. With the map given by Liu Zhuer, they saved them a lot of trouble. They flew all the way, traveling day and night, and it took them more than ten days in a row. When they passed the territory of the monster clan, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan deliberately changed their appearance, for fear that they would be recognized by the monster clan!

When they settled in a small town on the border of the demon tribe, they were having a meal in a restaurant when they heard the guests talking about the news of King Tianyu.
"Have you heard that King Tianyu has been in seclusion in Guiyin Mountain four months ago? This time he is in the gate of life and death. If he can comprehend it, he will ascend to the upper realm!"

"Is that so? King Tianyu is truly extraordinary. Among all the previous demon kings, he was the fastest to ascend to the upper realm. I remember that the demon king of the previous realm was a demon king for 20,000 years before he finally realized the great way and ascended to the upper realm!"

After hearing the news from King Tianyu, Gu Shiyi paused, put down the bowl, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Pu Yanlan on the opposite side looked at her calmly and said slowly,
"I didn't expect that the Wolf King could actually ascend to the upper realm that day..."

Gu Shiyi chuckled.
"Isn't this just a life-and-death test? Whether or not you can ascend to heaven is still unclear!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he remembered that the person was in a life and death barrier. If he couldn't pass it, he would die. Saying this sounded like he was cursing that person!
Gu Shiyi shut up at that moment and didn't say anything else. He just ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Pu Yanlan looked at him and sighed secretly, then changed the subject.
"I wonder who will take over as the next Mountain Demon King if the Wolf King of the Sky ascends to heaven?"

There can be countless demon kings in the demon world, just like there are demon kings in the demon world, but there can only be one demon king in Guiyin Mountain, and the demon king in Guiyin Mountain is the real king of the demon world!

So not everyone can become the demon king!

Gu Shiyi thought back to the day when King Tianyu got married. The demon kings who had retired to the mountains did not find anyone who had the ability to take over King Tianyu's job. After thinking for a while, he said,

"I guess... he should have made some arrangements!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and said softly,
"That's their demon world's business, we just need to listen to it and forget about it, don't take it to heart!"

Gu Shi nodded,

"Yes, it's none of our business, we don't have to take it to heart!"

Having said that, I suddenly felt a little bitter in my heart.
You slept with me twice, and you just left like that?

When I ascend to the upper realm in the future, I will really marry the fairy!
Gu Shiyi suddenly felt that the food in front of him was not delicious anymore. He wanted to put down the bowl in his hand, but he was afraid that Pu Yanlan opposite him would notice, so he lowered his head and forced the food into his mouth. Pu Yanlan sighed inwardly when she saw this.
"Eleven is a person who looks open-minded on the outside, but he still cares in his heart!"

I put down my chopsticks immediately.
"I'm full, Eleven...are you full? Let's go!"

Gu Shiyi took the opportunity to put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand.

"That's enough, let's pay and leave!"

After the two of them settled the bill, the demons in the hall were still enthusiastically discussing the candidate for the future demon king. Gu Shiyi looked back, then rode the demon wind with Pu Yanlan and left this border town!

On this continent, the territory occupied by the demon race is extremely vast. It is connected to the human race on one side and borders the demon world on the other side. It is also separated from the Far West by a river. Speaking of it, the Far West is also a human power, but the human race in the Far West is different from the human race in the Central Plains. It is said that the human race there failed in an internal struggle many years ago, and either fled or was exiled there.

There are also many miasma, poisonous insects and pythons in the far west. After the cultivators entered there, they borrowed the witchcraft techniques of the local natives and founded sects of cultivation that took a different path from those in the Central Plains. The Central Plains sects mainly focused on the five elements of cultivation, while the ones in the far west mainly focused on taming beasts, and most of them were insects and beasts. When they fought, they would often send out tens of thousands of poisonous insects, pythons and the like, making a huge noise.

Therefore, before entering, Pu Yanlan deliberately found a hilltop to live on after entering the Far West. Pu Yanlan planned to refine several furnaces of detoxification pills, because most of the cultivators in the Far West hated the cultivators in the Central Plains. For outsiders from the Central Plains, they would either drive them away or directly kill them. The two of them needed to be well prepared before entering, and detoxification pills were absolutely indispensable!
