Chapter 48: Turning Against Each Other

  For a moment, the entire hall was filled with panic and loss of color. The ghostly maidens who were originally dancing and playing music also fell to the ground with pale faces, their bodies trembling all over.

  "I thought it was just a small social deity, giving you face and making conversation easier." Huiling City Lord muttered to himself: "Unexpectedly, such an extraordinary ghost god emerged, even the Gan Pool Ghost King can be driven away... Doesn't this mean I'm too incompetent?"

  Liu Yi Xiao's small divine army, with dozens of ghost soldiers under his command, chased away the Ghost King of Gan Chi. However, he himself had tens of thousands of troops at his disposal, yet was beaten by the Ghost King of Gan Chi to the point where he didn't dare leave the city.

  Although the actual situation is not that simple, but as a rumor spread out, who would know what the real situation is like? In short, isn't it losing all the face of Hui Ling City?

  These words made the messenger's heart skip a beat. Without thinking, he knelt down, and if he were still human, he would have been drenched in sweat by now.

  "Your Lordship, please calm your anger. It's just a minor shrine god, nothing to get worked up about. Send out one of the ghost generals and have them lead 500 ghost soldiers to capture it. They'll definitely be able to bring it back before Your Lordship!"

  "Lord, please calm your anger!" Cheng An hastily got up from his seat and prostrated himself on the ground: "I'm just a humble earth god, I've only been to the Land of Spirits, it's just a small hut, can only be considered a Daoist temple. My subordinates are few and weak, I've only gathered a few dozen ghost soldiers. How could I possibly defeat the Ghost King of Gan Pool? It must be that the Ghost King himself retreated, and was taken advantage of by that scoundrel!"

  "Hmm!" said Hui Ling, "Is it really so?"

  His voice was devoid of emotion, but Cheng An immediately broke out in a cold sweat and gritted his teeth: "If the Lord is still not at ease, then by all means summon his ghostly troops. The twelfth month is almost upon us!"

  Hui Ling Cheng Huan heard this, and only then burst out laughing: "As soon as the tenth month arrives and it gets cold, a group of mountain ghosts will emerge. How can you possibly mobilize all the land ghost soldiers? I think mobilizing thirty would be enough!"

  "Yes, yes!" Cheng An nodded repeatedly, not daring to say another word. Just now, speaking on behalf of Liu Yi, he almost got himself into trouble.

  This city is too small to hold everyone's heart!

  Thinking of Liu Yi again, I secretly thought, sorry. Now I can only take care of myself and can't afford to care about you!

  "This matter, since you came up with it, then you should go and take care of it!" Hui Ling Cheng said.

  He bowed and obeyed, backing out of the grand hall step by step. He straightened up and turned around to leave.

  Tonight there is a moon, and the distant mountains and forests are faintly visible, so it should be easier to hurry along the night road.

  Then he invited another ghostly clerk to drive the car and headed towards Fenglai Mountain. At the foot of Fenglai Mountain, there are three villages, Lailai Village is the largest, and the roads in the countryside also lead here.

  Under the moonlight, the coming phoenix was covered with a faint moon glow, and the protective spirit light of the village almost merged into one place, as if it filled the space between heaven and earth.

  At this moment, Cheng An couldn't help but be dazzled, almost suspecting that the divine light had filled the entire sky and earth.

  Can't help but laugh, how is this possible? Even the City God doesn't have such skills. However, Liu Yi was able to make Gan Chi Ghost King return empty-handed, he indeed has skills, last time I looked down on him too much!

  With a bamboo slip in hand, I came into contact with spiritual light. With the command of the city wall and divine power, I immediately felt it in the spiritual realm.

  Before long, Liu Yi came out in big strides to greet him, smiling and saying: " Envoy, you have come from afar this time, I wonder what other matter is there?"

  But surprisingly, today Cheng An's face was stern and serious, completely different from the smile he had last time.

  Liu Yi's smile also faded away. This time, it seemed like something bad was coming!

  "By order of the Lord, summon the mountain wind to gather at the foot of the mountain, thirty ghostly soldiers, guarding the city temple."

  Summoning ghost soldiers to protect the city temple? What a joke! What am I supposed to do here?

  It's almost the end of the year, when ghosts and monsters come out. Shen Tu Qi is still busy recruiting ghost soldiers for himself, this city is in a state of panic with thousands of ghost soldiers, not daring to fight against Gan Chi Ghost King. This time he actually has the nerve to come find him to borrow troops.

  In his heart, he sneered coldly, but Liu Yi also didn't want to completely fall out with Cheng Huang, after all, the other was a powerful figure.

  "Just smile and say: 'Please tell the messenger to go back and explain a bit, I've just had a big battle here, and there really aren't that many ghost soldiers!'"

  Cheng An did not change his expression, saying: "The City God has spoken, you can even drive away the Ghost King of Gan Pool, it must be that your troops are numerous and powerful. Thirty ghost soldiers, not one can be missing!"

  Liu Yi suddenly became furious, and vaguely understood that this was the beginning of the city's fear of himself.

  "Hmph, how ridiculous! With an army of 4,000 to 5,000 ghost soldiers, such a powerful deity, yet you're still wary of me, a small god. Your narrow-mindedness is truly contemptible."

  Although he thought so in his heart, he could only force himself to say: "I now have only more than 20 ghost soldiers under my command, and it's really not enough to make up for so many. If I hand them all over to the messenger, what will happen to this place? The lives of over a thousand common people in Fenglai Mountain, are they truly not important in the eyes of the City God?"

  Cheng An was secretly worried, but he knew the temperament of Cheng Huang. Cheng Huang had already suspected him and if he couldn't complete his task this time, he would be in trouble.

  His face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The city is doomed, I dare not disobey!"

  Liu Yi was furious, this is forcing oneself onto a dead end. Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say! Let's just turn against each other directly!

  Just as they were about to turn against each other, Mu Yao walked out timidly and pulled Liu Yi's arm, saying softly: "Don't get angry..."

  When he saw Mu Yao, the ghost's eyes suddenly lit up and secretly pulled An Cheng. An Cheng understood, seeing that Mu Yao was a spiritual object, but his whole body was like ice and snow, with a hint of elegance, and his eyes sparkled.

  In his heart, Cheng Huang Shen Jun was most fond of feminine beauty. Seeing such a beautiful woman, he might have forgotten all his troubles.

  He slowly relaxed his face and said: "Since you really can't come up with thirty ghost soldiers, then let's have this female ghost replace them for us!"

  Liu Yi was originally prepared to turn his face, hearing this, he was furious and laughed, shouting: "Come on, take these two guys for me!"

  At a single order, all the ghostly soldiers under Liu Yi's command charged out, wielding their weapons and surrounded them.

  Cheng An and the other were both changing color, that ghostly official hastily shouted: "We are under the City God's command, you dare to offend? Are you not afraid of being thrown into the underworld prison, suffering for five hundred years?"

  "Hmph, what City God Lord? I don't know anything about that. All I know is, whoever doesn't get along with my master, I'll give him three slashes and six holes!"

  Cheng An was shocked, seeing these fierce and unruly ghost soldiers. The name of the City God couldn't intimidate them, so he was even more frightened, hastily wanting to get on his horse carriage.

  This carriage has a faint golden light on it, and it's clear that the city god's divine power is protecting it. Liu Yi's subordinate, Luan Fang, is ruthless, and Si Huai is cunning. Where would they give them an opportunity?
