Chapter 78: Sneaking into Baitou City, Sun Yuan Inserts a Chess Piece

  To take any action and ensure its success, the prerequisite is sufficient and accurate intelligence. However, for Sun Yuan, who was unfamiliar with the local terrain, intelligence was precisely what he lacked the most, so he could only enter the city first to get a feel for the situation.

  After passing through this dark area, and walking forward for a while, the number of people outside gradually increased. These people should all have the same purpose as Sun Yuan, and they seemed to be entering the city for the first time. Before these ghosts, each one had a guiding ghost leading the way in front, unlike Sun Yuan who was alone, standing out like a crane among chickens, gazing at the city walls.

  Sun Yuan watched the city wall with a crowd of ghosts, all of whom were filled with anxiety, sizing up this magnificent giant city. The leading ghost in front of them did not urge them on, as if they had expected this to happen.

  In Sun Yuan's view, the city gate was already too big, not to mention other things. Just talking about its thickness, the thickness of the city gate was as wide as it was. Overall, this was simply a huge square stone block that had been split in half and moved here as a city gate.

  Since the city gates are so thick and solid, the city walls naturally do not fall behind. The thickness of the city walls is even more exaggerated than that of the city gates. At a glance, it's simply unbelievable. What kind of city wall is this? It's clearly a magnificent mountain wall, only with its top being artificially flattened, then the inside of the entire mountain was hollowed out, and on this basis, the Tongue-Pulling City was established.

  It's hard to imagine what it feels like standing in front of this giant city, and Sun Yuan's feeling is especially deep. Standing in front of the giant city, he himself is as small as an ant, filled with a sense of powerlessness. The guards standing on the city wall are like gods standing on the clouds, although Sun Yuan knows they are not gods, at most just a group of little demons, but he can't help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart.

  It's hard for Sun Yuan to imagine how much power it would take to open up such a massive city, but just looking at the city is enough to make him emotional, and he can only imagine what a magnificent scene it must have been when the city was first opened.

  "Is this little brother just arriving?" Just as Sun Yuan was shocked and secretly sighed, a green-faced and fang-toothed little ghost observed for a moment, seeing that Sun Yuan was alone, walked up close and asked warmly "Little brother, did you just go through the tongue-pulling trial?"

  The blue-faced little ghost looked very confident, with an expectant face looking at Sun Yuan. In fact, only new ghosts were naked here, which was the rule, and no one could change it. Now this location was after the Tongue-Pulling Temple, and ghosts who had not been recognized by the temple could not reach this place. So the little ghost saw Sun Yuan's origin at a glance, but what made him a bit strange was that Sun Yuan didn't have a guide.

  It's no wonder that these new trialists are in high demand in the city, and many forces like fresh blood. As their leader, they can naturally get some benefits from this. At this moment, seeing that Sun Yuan didn't have a leader, Xiao Gui suddenly felt lucky and took the initiative to come forward and recommend himself.

  This green-faced little ghost didn't know the specific reason, he couldn't imagine that Sun Yuan's guide had just been killed by Sun Yuan and wouldn't think in that direction. At this moment, he was having a beautiful dream of making a fortune, but if he knew, he probably wouldn't be so proactive.

  Sun Yuan looked at the little ghost in surprise, then suddenly realized and lowered his head to look at his naked self, nodded slightly and said "Not bad, what's up?"

  "It's nothing, just asking. I think you're not familiar with this Tongue-Pulling City either. It's quite troublesome to be unfamiliar with the place, so why don't I be your guide?" The little ghost volunteered, "Tongue-Pulling City is not big, but it's not small either. If there isn't someone familiar to show you around, it'll be difficult for you to understand the situation in the city for a while."

  "Haha, but that would disappoint you. My guide has already entered the city ahead of time, and it seems he'll be back soon, so I won't be able to follow you!" Sun Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up with understanding, and she smiled brightly.

  "Ah! You have a guide now!" The small goblin with a green face and sharp teeth shouted, immediately changing its expression, scolding "You didn't say so earlier, wasting Master's time, you're really good for nothing!"

  At this time, just as the little ghost wanted to take advantage of the situation, a red-haired ghost walked up behind the little ghost and patted his shoulder, saying "What's wrong, green ghost? You're so angry, who made you angry again?"

  "Ah! It's Lord Redhead!" The little demon's face changed, and he turned around to scold, but upon seeing the person who came, his face immediately filled with smiles, and he said in a somewhat flattering tone, "I was just venting a bit, you have important matters to attend to first, I won't disturb you, if possible, I'll take my leave first, hehe!"

  "Go, go! From now on, be more careful when doing things. Don't think you can just snatch from anyone. This time it was me, but if you had run into Iron Ghost, I reckon your little life would have been gone." Red Hair's face suddenly darkened, and he patted the little ghost's shoulder, nodding in warning.

  "Please forgive me, young one. I truly didn't know that this newcomer was actually from your organization." Looking at Sun Yuan quickly walking into the row of red-haired people, Qing Gui couldn't help but understand what had happened. It seemed that he had grabbed a blind spot this time, and this little ghost clearly had a master, with a powerful force backing him up!

  "Alright! Take a good look next time!" The red-haired ghost waved his hand, indicating that he could leave. After the green ghost turned around and left, disappearing from everyone's sight, the red-haired ghost immediately turned around to take a look at Sun Yuan, nodded in approval, and said "You kid have quite some talent, no wonder Wang Xiao Gui recommended you so highly, where is your guide?"

  "My guide seemed to have received some important information halfway and left first! I came here alone, not wanting to meet Brother Wang." Sun Yuan nodded at a big man beside him, and after the other party returned the courtesy, he explained to the red-haired ghost who was staring at him.

  "It's a good thing we met, and it just so happens that you're suitable to join our Tiexue organization! With Wang Xiaogui's introduction, we can also trust you. What do you think?" Red Hair Ghost was very satisfied with Sun Yuan's qualifications, and after sizing him up for a few moments, he made the decision on the spot!

  "Thank you, sir, for your appreciation. I'm just a humble guide. Is there anything else I can help with?" Sun Yuan hastily nodded and put on an expression of gratitude, but immediately revealed a worried look and said, "I'm afraid it might bring some trouble to you, sir. Please be careful."

  "Ah, not bad," the red-haired ghost nodded and said, "In Baitu City, our Iron Blood also has some real power, so you don't have to worry. Follow me!" After finishing speaking, the red-haired ghost took the lead in leaving, several followers immediately followed suit, Sun Yuan was no exception, and a group of people immediately headed towards Baitu City.

  It turns out that this Wang surname little ghost is actually the last puppet controlled by Sun Yuan. After he was pulled out of his tongue a thousand times, Sun Yuan had attached himself to his body and arrived in Tongue-Pulling City first, joining an organization. This is also the reason why Sun Yuan killed the Long-Tongued Ghost halfway without hesitation; otherwise, being unfamiliar with the place, he really needed to consider it carefully.

  It turns out that the longer Sun Yuan cultivated the Soul Seal Technique, he found that he seemed to be able to control many soul fragments without fear of divine intelligence splitting apart. This is absolutely impossible according to the Soul Seal Technique's description. According to the Soul Seal Technique, a person can only split out a part of their divine soul at most. If there are too many, the main body's divine soul will be affected, leading to madness.

  However, Sun Yuan had some free time and conducted an experiment, discovering that he could control up to a dozen or so soul fragments while his main soul remained unaffected. Although he didn't know the reason behind this, it made the Soul Imprint Technique a trump card in his hands, giving him a foothold in the chaotic Tongue-Taking City.

  The Wang surname little ghost was the first nail he hammered into Ba She Cheng, and under the strong recommendation of the Wang surname little ghost, Sun Yuan quickly integrated into the Iron Blood organization and became a not-too-big-or-small leader inside. However, Sun Yuan did not often appear in the Iron Blood organization; most of his time was spent working outside of Ba She Cheng, euphemistically called "earning work money", which naturally meant replacing the new little ghosts to pull out tongues.

  It's just an official statement, but in reality, Sun Yuan is lurking in the dark area between Batu City and Batu Temple, specializing in doing some unscrupulous business, ambushing passing ghost messengers and newcomers to harvest their tongues, and setting up puppets. However, due to the large population flow of this generation, Sun Yuan has been very cautious in choosing targets, so he hasn't been noticed by anyone yet.

  It's been many years since then, and Sun Yuan has successfully settled twenty puppets in Baitou City. These puppets have the support of Sun Yuan's many years of uninterrupted plundering, and each one is mixed up quite well. With these puppets, Sun Yuan's information suddenly became smooth.

  In these years, Sun Yuan not only had a group of ghostly servants who practiced their bodies, but also imprinted some soul clans with soul seals. It can be said that Sun Yuan was able to ambush the soul clan, and he had to thank an old acquaintance, that green ghost who had a relationship with the long-tongued ghost back then.

  Although the long-tongued ghost was killed by Sun Yuan, it never appeared again. However, in the election of the small team leader, the green ghost still failed. The reason is that since that day, the remaining countless years have not introduced a single new person to the green ghost, and its luck has become extremely bad. Therefore, although there is no longer a long-tongued ghost as a competitor, the green ghost still did not get what it wanted.

  After the failure, the Green Ghost met with his mysterious superior in the wilderness, coincidentally bumping into Sun Yuan, who had just retrieved the cliff's seal and steel fork, greatly increasing his combat power.

  After seeing the green ghost and having a connection with the soul tribe wearing black robes, Sun Yuan didn't say a word and rushed out. The lone soul tribe had a fatal attraction to him. Over the years, the puppets he controlled were only from the Practicing Body Tribe, while the Soul Tribe usually acted collectively, so he never had the chance to make a move. Now that he finally found such an opportunity, Sun Yuan naturally wouldn't let it slip away.

  The soul clan that was in contact with the low-level green ghost, naturally didn't have much cultivation to speak of. Under Sun Yuan's swift and fierce attack, armed with his seal and spear, this soul clan only managed to release a single death spirit technique before being knocked to the ground along with the dumbfounded green ghost.

  For a low-ranking native like Green Ghost, Sun Yuan had no interest in making him a puppet, the only benefit that Green Ghost brought to Sun Yuan was his tongue.

  After getting rid of the green ghost, Sun Yuan did not continue to slaughter, but instead gave this soul clan a soul imprint. As a result, he had his first soul clan puppet. From then on, regarding the situation with the soul clan, Sun Yuan was no longer in the dark.
