Hell Emperor

Chapter 148 Li Ba-asking for help

"what are you saying?"

After listening to what Ye Jie said, Guazi's eyes widened, his eyes fixed, and he was too stunned to say a word.

For some reason, Ye Jie's words actually made her Taoist heart waver and her mind tremble. It almost made her practice of formlessness and impermanence come to naught.

She kept shaking her head, as if doing so could get the words out of her mind. After a while, she calmed down.

On the side, Ye Jie did not notice the abnormality of Guazi, and the Gui Cha Ling in his arms was shaken.

Taking out the Gui Cha Ba, after some investigation, Ye Jie also found out who was sending the message to him, and couldn't help but frown: "It's Gui Cha Ba... What is she looking for me at this time?"

Hearing this, Guazi reminded: "Brother Jie, you are now wanted by Guangwang Palace. Whoever can catch you in Guangwang Palace will be rewarded with tens of millions of evil deeds. As the best ghost, you betrayed Palace Master, the Palace Master is determined to have you stabbed, Gui Chaba is looking for you at this time, I’m afraid he has bad intentions, so you’d better be careful.”

Ye Jie nodded: "That's right... But judging from the message, she seems to be very anxious, afraid of encountering some trouble. She asked me to meet at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and I'd better go and have a look. If it doesn't work, I have a way out."

Ye Jie didn't say any more, but just touched the pocket on the inside of the black robe.

In his arms, he still kept the six-character Great Ming Talisman drawn by Nan Linghe. Ye Jie intuitively told Ye Jie that this Talisman was very strong. Even Master Fu Lu praised it. It was more than enough to deal with Gui Chaba.

Guazi glanced at Ye Jie and said: "In this case, I have nothing to do anyway, so let me follow you and go together to meet the ghost tyrant. Maybe my strength is not as good as the real judge. , but it’s still more than enough to deal with ordinary fourth-order impermanence.”

Ye Jie looked delighted, clasped his fists and said, "In this case, I have the melon seeds. If Gui Chaba really intends to do harm to me, and I have the melon seeds to help, she will be unable to eat and walk around."

After saying that, the two took out the Shukuchi stone, moved away, and soon arrived at the place where Oni Chaba had made an appointment.

As soon as they arrived, the two were shocked by the tragic situation nearby.

The two found themselves in a dilapidated village. Houses collapsed, thatch burned, fire spread, the streets were filled with a burning smell, and miserable corpses lay nearby.

"what happened……"

Ye Jie was stunned and walked to one of the corpses. It was an old man with gray hair. His eyes were wide open and he was staring straight ahead. His mouth was wide open, revealing sparse teeth. Although he was dead, he still had a smile on his face. Steeped in silent fear.

"The soul is back."

Ye Jie reached out and patted the old man's forehead, but there was no response for a long time.

"Huh? His soul was taken away, leaving only an empty shell."

After reacting, Ye Jie looked around and saw that not only the corpse of the old man in front of him had been taken away, but also the rest of the corpses.

"Be careful...there's a ghost coming."

Guazi's eyes narrowed. With her keen sense, she noticed the strange movement in the distance. She quickly stretched out her hand and pulled Ye Jie into the shadow. At the same time, she hid her breath and suppressed the sense of presence to a minimum.

There were also evil and ominous whispers in the ears of the two of them.

"In response to Commander Wu Chang, the souls of the 376 people in Lijia Village have now been refined and turned into ghost soldiers."

"Very good, continue to carry out His Majesty's orders, massacre villages and towns, and expand the number of ghost soldiers."

"Where to go next? Cuifeng Town? There are thousands of households there. If we eat all of Cuifeng Town, the target of ghost soldiers entrusted to our team by His Majesty will be achieved, and we can enter the palace to receive the reward."

"Cuifeng Town is defended by several fourth-level practitioners. Once it is dragged into a protracted battle, it will be detrimental to us. In my opinion, we should go to Qingshi Town. The defense there is weak, and there are not even a few third-level practitioners. "

Hearing the words of the ghosts, Ye Jie's heart trembled.

The seriousness of the situation was beyond his expectation. In order to expand the number of underworld soldiers under his command, the Lord of Guangwang Palace ordered the massacre of the people. It was unknown how many people would suffer as a result.

Even Qingshi Town was targeted by ghosts.

"So, Li Ba is not looking for me to arrest me now...wait, this is Lijia Village? Is it her hometown?" Ye Jie thought in his heart.

The ghosts took out the Shuchi stones one after another and moved away. What was left here were hundreds of horrified corpses and houses that were still crackling and burning.

After the ghosts left, Ye Jie walked out of the darkness. Full of doubts, he took out the ghost order from his arms and quickly found Li Ba's location. She was staying somewhere ten miles away.

"Something is wrong. Guazi, please protect me in secret and don't show up." Ye Jie frowned and Guazi did as he was told.

In the dark cave, Li Ba could not maintain her demon body. Her real body looked weak and short, and her soul body was weak. She knelt on the ground, holding on and not falling down, as if she had been seriously injured.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps reached her ears. She forced herself to raise her eyelids and was about to enter the Dharmakaya form. Her clenched fists relaxed when she saw the man.

"Huh, Gui Cha Jie..." Looking at the man coming, Li Ba let out a heavy snort.

"Gui Cha Ba, are you okay?" Seeing her miserable state in his eyes, Ye Jie took a deep breath and asked.

"Hmph, I'm not good! Look at me like this, do you think I'm good?" Li Ba said through gritted teeth.

Ye Jie was helpless, but fortunately he was very familiar with Li Ba's temper, so he was not annoyed and asked again: "By the way...what happened here? I saw those ghost soldiers, they slaughtered a village."

"...did you see it? That village is my hometown, my parents, my people, all live there. After learning the news that the village was attacked, I rushed here as soon as possible, but was defeated by Wu Chang, and could only watch the village being destroyed. If it weren't for my strong body, I'm afraid I would not be able to escape death..." Li Ba closed his eyes tightly, heartbroken, tears could not stop falling.

Ye Jie was speechless. The peak of the third level ghost messenger Ba was not the opponent of the fourth level Wu Chang. After a while, he spoke: "Next, what are you going to do?"

"Hmph! I want to snatch the souls of everyone in Lijia Village from Wu Chang. Even if my souls are scattered, I will never retreat! Ye Jie, will you come with me?" Li Ba shouted angrily.

Ye Jie took a deep breath, still puzzled: "Why are you looking for me?"

"Hmph, I was wanted by Guangwang Palace because I attacked Wuchang and disobeyed the will of the Palace Master. It just so happens that you are also wanted, and I am worried about other people." Li Ba lowered his head, "Besides, I don't know who to look for except you... I used to laugh at you for using your good deeds to help wandering souls, until my own people got into trouble, I realized how lucky it is to have someone like you. Ye Jie, are you willing to help me?"

Ye Jie saw her apology. The once arrogant ghost messenger Ba now seemed a little helpless and humbly asked for help from him.

Ye Jie stretched out his hand to her: "Let's join forces. The two former hall-level ghost messengers of Guangwang Palace have now been labeled traitors. Let's go and take back the souls of the dead in Lijia Village!"

Li Ba grabbed Ye Jie's hand and was pulled up from the ground by him.

"Hmph, I heard from those ghost soldiers that they will attack Cuifeng Town next. Let's go there quickly." Li Ba suggested.

"No, the next place they are going to is Qingshi Town." Ye Jie told the situation he had heard before. Compared with the tightly defended Cuifeng Town, Qingshi Town was the first choice for the ghost soldiers to attack.

Ye Jie took out the shrinking stone and moved away with Li Ba, and soon arrived in Qingshi Town.

The streets in the town were filled with dark clouds and ghosts.

The townspeople screamed shrilly. They didn't understand what happened. They saw the pedestrians beside them twitching for no reason, and then fell to the ground and died completely.

A few townspeople saw Wuchang unfolding his evil ghost body, their pupils bulged, and they were mentally confused. They were hysterical until the moment before they died.

The sudden change broke the peaceful atmosphere in the town. The townspeople hurried back home, locked the door tightly, and didn't dare to breathe.

Even so, the disaster did not spare them. As the locked doors were smashed open one by one, the people hiding in the house could not escape death.

Aunt Wang also heard the wailing of the townspeople. She shivered and huddled in the corner of the room, not daring to move, and prayed silently.

With a bang, the door was smashed open. Although Aunt Wang could not see the ghost, the cold evil that was gradually approaching made her tremble as if she fell into an ice cellar.

A horse-faced man in the early stage of the third level broke into the room and was about to take Aunt Wang's life, but heard a whisper in his ear:

"It seems we are not too late."

The horse-faced man was stunned and was about to turn around, but saw a huge red fist hitting him.

Caught off guard, the horse-faced man flew backwards and hit the hard wall heavily, creating a dent.

Before he could adjust his breath, he saw the red fist rapidly enlarged in front of him. This time, the fist hit his head, and the power of ten oxen and ten horses contained in the fist burst out, making him shattered on the spot.

Only after the horse-faced demon disappeared without a trace did Ye Jie walk out from a safe place.

In order to fight in a small room, Li Ba did not unfold the complete form of the demon ghost body, but only let the arm that was swinging the fist enter the Dharma body form.

Ye Jie was a little surprised. Only controlling part of the body to enter the Dharma body was a sign that the ghost was about to enter the fourth level. I didn't expect Li Ba to be able to do this.

"Humph, the souls of the dead in Lijia Village are all in the soul-calling banner led by Wuchang. It seems useless to just kill these ghost soldiers and ghosts." Li Ba said with an ugly face.

"I understand." Ye Jie nodded, and seeing that Aunt Wang was fine, he came to the center of Qingshi Town with Li Ba.

Here, Li Ba had no more worries and fully unfolded his Dharma body. A ten-foot-tall red demon appeared in front of many ghost soldiers.

"Demon ghost Dharma body? It's Ghost Officer Ba..."

"It's really haunting. Didn't Commander Wuchang teach it a lesson just now? Why is it here again?"

"Dare to disobey the will of the Palace Master, that Ghost Officer Ba really doesn't want to live. Well, let's kill it here!"

The demon ghost Dharma body suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of many ghost soldiers.

Many ghost soldiers talked about Ghost Officer Ba who betrayed Guangwang Palace, and they slandered him in words, but no one dared to step forward. They knew that Ghost Officer Ba was powerful, and they all hoped that Commander Wuchang would take action.

"Wait... Isn't the man next to it Ghost Officer Jie?"

"It's really Ghost Officer Jie! The Lord of Guangwang Palace has ordered that whoever can catch Ghost Officer Jie will be rewarded with millions of Yin De. I didn't expect that this great opportunity would fall on us!"

"Ghost Officer Ba colluded with traitors, and his crime is extremely serious. Don't let those two traitors get away, kill them quickly!"

Seeing Ye Jie appear, and remembering the rewards promised by Lord Guang Wang, the breathing of many Yin soldiers became heavy. The rewards of tens of millions of Yin virtues were enough to completely change their destiny!

"Don't worry, let me take action, capture those two traitors, and offer them to Lord Guang Wang together!"

At this time, there was a burst of pitiful whispers, which made all the Yin soldiers remain silent and did not dare to say another word.

Following the sound, he saw Hei Wuchang, who was holding a fine iron hook, walking past the crowd and speaking slowly. The iron hook flew up and down in his hand, making a breathtaking sound of breaking wind. Just listening to it made people shudder.

"Hmph, that Hei Wuchang has the strength of the late fourth level. He was the one who defeated me before... Be careful with the iron hook in his hand. It is an eighth-grade spiritual weapon. Any soul stabbed by the iron hook will have difficulty escaping. His control."

Li Ba's face darkened, and her eyes fell on a roll of dark cloth around Hei Wuchang's waist. It was the soul-calling flag that imprisoned the souls of the dead in Lijia Village.

"Late fourth level? With the strength of you and me, we are certainly no match for Hei Wuchang..." Ye Jie took a deep breath. He was only in the late second level, and the enemies in the late fourth level were far beyond what he could defeat.

"Ghost Cha Jie, you are the best ghost chaplain in the palace, but you are unfaithful to the master of Guangwang Palace. You are a betrayer seeking glory. This is unforgivable! Now that things have happened, do you have any last words?" Hei Wuchang shook the iron hook in his hand, feeling cold. Captivating, as if the next moment will pierce Ye Jie's soul.

"Hmph, you should be the one who should be finished!" Faced with Hei Wuchang's threat, Li Ba snorted coldly, with a confident face, "Ye Jie, he will be left to you, please ask Guan Gong to get on him like last time , kill him!"

Ye Jie's face was full of helplessness: "Are you so easy to hire as Guan Gong? What's more, I don't have any spiritual talismans anymore."

"Ah? What should we do?" Li Ba was shocked. Ye Jie's answer was beyond her expectation. How to deal with the aggressive Hei Wuchang now?

"But... you don't need Guan Gong to kill him." Ye Jie felt something in his heart and raised his head.

Seeing that the black and impermanent iron hook was about to fly out, ten cold lights suddenly lit up above everyone's heads. The cold light contained clearly the coldness that symbolized death.

A few Yin soldiers with higher cultivation levels noticed the danger. As soon as they raised their heads, their bodies were already pierced by the cold light. After penetrating the body of the Yin soldiers, the cold light did not stop. Instead, it penetrated back and forth at a faster speed, ruthlessly harvesting the souls of the other Yin soldiers.

In just a blink of an eye, the situation on the field changed drastically.

Under Hei Wuchang's horrified look, many of the Yin soldiers disappeared into thin air. Apart from him and Ye Jie, the only ones still standing in the field were the shark-toothed woman who was slowly falling down.
