Hell Emperor

Chapter 162 Xuancheng-Sending Troops

While several people were talking, there was a sudden sound in Ye Jie's arms.

He reached into his arms and found that what was constantly shaking was the ghost order with the word "Cheng" engraved on it.

"Xuan Cheng is calling me. I think it's from Tianxuan Palace. They are ready for action."

Ye Jie sensed it and soon understood the situation.

Shen Qingge nodded lightly: "Now that I have successfully broken through to the fifth-level Immortal Realm, I have cleared up the doubts in my heart. It is time to set off."

Everyone boarded the Feijian one by one and said goodbye to Ye Jie and his entourage who stayed where they were and were about to leave.

"Be careful, Brother Jie. If you bump into the judge head-on, just run away. There is no shame in running away, only in dying." Hua Xiaomei warned.

"You'd better not die." Xie Xinyu whispered.

"Master... take care." Xia Wei reluctantly left.

Ye Jie looked at them one by one: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

Nan Linghe still looked innocent: "Brother Jie, when will you come back?"

Ye Jie took a deep breath: "I don't know... After a few days of preparation, both the ghosts in Tianxuan Palace and the lonely ghosts in Yaksha Plain are fully prepared, and the war is about to break out. Maybe we will meet again next time , that is, in Chang'an, the capital."

Guazi looked at Ye Jie and apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, Brother Jie. As the head of the maids, I refined the Qionglou scroll. I must stay close to you at all times. I can't risk the lives of everyone in the scroll. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive." The law is acting with you."

Ye Jie cupped his hands and said, "Guazi is determined, don't worry, with Li Ba acting with me, my safety is guaranteed!"

Next to Ye Jie, Li Ba clenched his fists tightly: "I can't wait. In the past few days, Miss Xia Wei has taught me a few moves. My fists will make all impermanence afraid."

Looking at the short girl next to Ye Jie, who was two heads lower than him, for some reason, everyone always felt that these words were not very convincing.

Meng Junyao also flew to Ye Jie: "Destined person, you must come back safely..."

Ye Jie stroked the clean dragon scales on her body: "If... I mean if, if I can't come back, you should follow Xia Wei from now on, and she will protect you well."

"Master! Don't say that..."

"Brother Jie, you just said everything would be fine..."

Ye Jie's words immediately aroused repeated criticism from everyone. Ye Jie realized that he had made a mistake and repeatedly begged for mercy. Only then did he calm down everyone's emotions and moved away with Li Ba.

Returning to Tianxuan Hall, Ye Jie also saw Xuancheng who was here to convey a message to him.

Ye Jie cupped his fists and said, "I wonder how prepared Tianxuan Palace is?"

Xuancheng looked solemn: "We have made contact with Li Tang in the human world, and King Tang has given an order to cooperate with us in this operation. The master of the Guangwang Palace is now in Luoyang on earth, and Li Tang will send eleven troops to besiege the evil forces in the world. The dragon makes it difficult for him to escape."

After a pause, he continued: "Tianxuan Palace will send a small number of ghosts to the human world to collect the souls of Li Tang's soldiers who died in the battle, so that after their bodies die, they can continue to fight for the King of Tang in the form of ghosts. . And most of the ghost servants in the palace will join the palace master to attack the Netherworld Ghost Prison and rescue the soul of Tang Dynasty King Li Yuan."

Xuancheng looked into the distance: "At that time, the fierce ghosts on the Yaksha Plain will also take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the Naihe Bridge and break out a path of reincarnation. With this three-way attack, even the Guangwang Hall with its big tree and deep roots may not be able to attack it." To deal with it, you end up focusing on one thing and losing the other.”

Listening to Xuancheng's words, both Ye Jie and Li Ba beside him couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

The hope of defeating the master of Guangwang Hall is now in front of everyone, and the rest is to execute it step by step.

"What are you waiting for? Let's take action now!" Li Ba said, clenching his fists.

Xuancheng just said: "The spiritual power of the ghost immortal is strong, which exceeds the movement limit of the Shuochi Stone. You can hardly see the ghost fairy running around with the Shuodi Stone. We are still waiting for the signal from the master of Tianxuan Palace. He We have already taken the lead, driving the magic weapon to the Guangwang Palace, and we will take action when the signal comes. "

Li Ba was a little anxious: "When will his signal come?"

"There's no rush, it should be soon." Xuancheng waved his hand, "While you're at it, you should take a look inside the Tianxuan Palace to see what the Underworld will look like without the main account of the Book of Life and Death."

Ye Jie was stunned. Xuancheng's words were undoubtedly meant for him. He didn't refuse, but just said: "That's it."

After saying that, under Xuancheng's gaze, he pulled Li Ba into Tianxuan Hall and wandered around. Soon he heard shouts along the way.

"Let's take a look! The high-grade spiritual talisman now only requires ten low-grade spiritual stones."

"Magical weapons are exchanged for spiritual stones! The war is coming, spiritual stones cannot save your lives, magic weapons are more practical!"

"This is the spiritual talisman drawn by Elder Xuemei. Now it only requires one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones..."

Hearing everyone's shouts, Li Ba scratched his head and was a little confused: "What's going on? Lingshi? Why don't they trade with Yin De?"

Ye Jie sighed, guessing the situation in his mind, and explained: "The main tent of Tianxuan Palace has now been taken away by the Lord of Mo Luo Palace. The ghosts in the palace can no longer calculate Yin De, let alone complete it. For transactions, only the most common spiritual stones can be used as equivalents."

Li Ba nodded thoughtfully, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes: "Is there such a thing? It is extremely rare for ghosts to use spiritual stones instead of shady deals. I have never seen anything like this. matter……"

Ye Jie smiled: "This is nothing. I heard that in the Immortal Sect in Beiju Luzhou, spiritual stones are used as currency transactions."

Li Ba watched carefully at a nearby stall and soon discovered the difference:

"Wait...what's going on? A high-level spiritual talisman only requires ten low-grade spiritual stones now? According to the past price, one low-grade spiritual stone costs one thousand yin virtues. In other words, 10,000 yin virtues can buy a high-grade spiritual talisman. Spirit talisman? Where did such a good thing come from?”

Li Ba opened her mouth wide. In her memory, high-level spiritual talismans were extremely rare.

When a high-level magic talisman appears on the market, it will often be completely sold out within a short while, and the price will soar to terrifying tens or millions of yinde, which is simply unaffordable for low-level ghosts.

Nowadays, ten thousand Yin De can buy a high-grade spiritual talisman. Why doesn't she feel surprised? If it weren't for the upcoming war, she would have wanted to get a lot of spiritual stones and come here to exchange for spiritual talismans.

Ye Jie made some calculations and quickly came up with the answer: "No...it's not that high-end spiritual talismans have become cheaper, but that spiritual stones have become more expensive, which makes high-end spiritual talismans not very valuable."

Li Ba was stunned. She frowned with confusion on her face: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand you at all?"

Ye Jie had no choice but to think carefully and said in words that Li Ba could understand: "You think that a low-grade spiritual stone is worth a thousand virtues, right?"

"Of course." Li Ba nodded, wondering what Ye Jie meant by this.

Ye Jie took a deep breath: "What if I told you that the price of spiritual stones has been increasing in value? In the year when I first became a ghost servant, a low-grade spiritual stone only cost one hundred Yin De."

"One hundred Yin De? How could it be?"

Li Ba was stunned and then heard Ye Jie say: "The world has changed. People no longer do good deeds. The bureaucrats are stupid and the people are numb. Instead, everyone is thinking about themselves. Will I lose anything if I do this? My own interests, I helped you, and what will be gained in the future are all this kind of thinking... If you don't do good deeds, you will have no moral virtue after death. If no moral virtue flows into the underworld, the prices in the underworld will rise again and again. In the past, a hundred The low-grade spiritual stone that can be exchanged for Yin De has increased to a thousand Yin De over the years. "

Li Ba's eyes widened. She had been working as a ghost for far less time than Ye Jie. Of course, she didn't know as much about the secrets of the changes in the underworld as Ye Jie did.

"Now... what's going on?" Li Ba opened his mouth.

"Now... without the main account, the yin virtue of Tianxuan Palace has been cut off. Spiritual stones are the real store of value. If calculated according to the yin virtue of the past, the value of one spirit stone in Tianxuan Palace now is, It has reached tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand Yin De.”

Ye Jie took a deep breath and spoke out the current situation of Tianxuan Palace: "I'm afraid, this is what Xuancheng wants us to see... Tianxuan Palace has completely lost control, prices have skyrocketed, and people are living in dire straits. We have declared war on Guangwang Palace and taken it back." The main account is their only way out."

Li Ba took a deep breath and looked at Ye Jie with a hint of lingering shock in his eyes.

On the one hand, what shocked Li Ba was that the situation of Tianxuan Palace had reached such an imminent moment.

On the other hand, what really surprised Li Ba was Ye Jie's sharp thinking. After just a few observations, he understood the situation of the entire Tianxuan Palace in his mind. He revealed the complicated current situation in the palace as if peeling off a cocoon. His extraordinary resourcefulness made Li Ba couldn't help but look at him a few more times. .

The two of them were talking when they saw Xuancheng walking slowly:

"You are right, Ye Jie, you are the one who put Tianxuan Palace in this situation."

Ye Jie did not refute: "Even so..."

Xuancheng looked at him deeply: "You plunged Tianxuan Palace into chaos, and pointed out a clear path for us... Now that things have happened, Ye Jie, can you answer my question?"

"Of course, as long as I can answer it." Ye Jie nodded.

Xuancheng showed a stern look on his face: "Have you been plotting against the entire Tianxuan Palace from the beginning? I admit that you are extremely resourceful, but what do you think of the Tianxuan Palace? Could it be that the entire Tianxuan Palace has been under your influence? Used by you as a pawn to deal with the Lord Guangwang?"

Ye Jie waved his hand and said: "I never meant this. Didn't you know it from the beginning? The reason why I handed over the main account was because my partner's life was threatened by the Shura."

Xuancheng just shook his head: "Because the lives of my companions were threatened, you handed over the main account, at the expense of ruining your reputation, and ignoring the safety of thousands of ghosts in the palace? I still don't want to believe that someone can do this for the sake of my companions. Do you know what I prefer to believe? I prefer to believe that you planned all this from the beginning, and the reason why you did this is to provoke a war between Tianxuan Palace and Guangwang Palace!"

Ye Jie shrugged: "Maybe other people don't want to do that, but I will. For me, they are not only my companions, but also my family members who get along day and night. Family is our strength."

Xuancheng stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and stopped asking: "You should leave these words to those who are willing to believe them. No matter what you say, I will not believe it."

Ye Jie was silent for a moment and then said: "Since you have such suspicion, why didn't you report it to the palace master and instead promoted the matter? Now that the matter has happened, what decision does Tianxuan Palace plan to make?"

Xuancheng looked bitter: "There are not many choices left for Tianxuan Palace. Either it will be disbanded and all the ghosts will become lonely ghosts, or they can only fight to the death in a desperate situation and go against the will of heaven." The master of the Guangwang Palace has taken back the only remaining book of life and death in Nanzhan Continent. If it were you, what would you do?"

Ye Jie didn't answer. Judging from Xuancheng's reaction and the movements of Tianxuan Palace, it was already obvious what they were going to do.

At this moment, the aurora soaring into the sky came from the distance. Xuancheng felt something in his heart and looked around: "It's the signal from the palace master. It's time for us to set off... Ye Jie, I hope my choice was not wrong in the end."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Jie and Li Ba to reply, Xuancheng took the lead and gathered the elite ghost officers in the palace to prepare for a surprise attack on the Netherworld Ghost Prison.

Until Xuancheng left, Li Ba was still immersed in what he had just said and could not recover for a long time: "Ye Jie... So, all of this is actually part of your plan? You used the entire Tianxuan Palace? "

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "Don't listen to his nonsense... This is all just a coincidence. Do you think I would do this?"

Li Ba trembled and looked at Ye Jie, who was two heads taller than her. For the first time, she felt regret from the bottom of her heart for teasing Ye Jie in the past, but more importantly, she still felt a faint fear.

"You are so good at it..." Li Ba took a step back and said.

Even Tianxuan Palace finally fell into Ye Jie's scheme and was involved in the war at Guangwang Palace. If Ye Jie wanted to plot against her who was only at the third level at the time, wouldn't it be simple?

Ye Jie was quite helpless, why was it getting darker and darker? It seemed that no matter what explanation he gave, Li Ba had a look of disbelief and decided that he was a shady old man with deep roots in the city. Now he couldn't deal with Ye Jie.

"Speaking of which... all the ghost servants from Tianxuan Palace have already set off, so let's leave as soon as possible."

Ye Jie reminded: "It should be noted that not only the Netherworld Ghost Prison where the soul of King Tang is imprisoned will be attacked during this trip, but even the Naihe Bridge will also be attacked... However, the ghosts on the Yaksha Plain are weaker. Let’s go to the Ghost Prison with Master Tianxuan first, and then go to Naihe Bridge when the time is right.”

Of course, Li Ba would not have any objections to Ye Jie's choice. After deciding that Ye Jie was very sophisticated and well-calculated, Li Ba obeyed his proposal, but his eyes were a little more guarded:

"Humph, Ye Jie, you can't plot against me!"
