Chapter 7730: Ghost city (1)
Gu ding scanned his surroundings before turning to Jiang Yu.”Let’s go. Let’s find a place to settle down first. We’ll talk about the future later.” Jiang Yu acknowledged and followed Gu to set up the teleportation formation, heading out of the teleportation Plaza.
As the two of them walked out, Gu ding said to Jiang Yu, ” “Jiang Yu, how much do you know about this place?”
Jiang Yu shook his head. &Quot; I don’t know much. I’m just an outer disciple of the sect. I’ve never left the sect’s sphere of influence. I’ve only heard of this place’s name. I don’t know much about it. &Quot;
Gu ding nodded. &Quot; alright, then we’ll find a place to stay first. After that, we’ll understand the situation in the city and make other plans. Let’s go. &Quot; Jiang Yu responded and followed Gu ding into the city.
Ghost city was very prosperous. There were many tall buildings in the city, some of which were more than 100 meters tall.
These tall buildings were actually all used for people to live in. This was somewhat out of Gu ding’s expectations. He really did not expect that there would be real estate in a place like the devil World.
Of course, there were all kinds of shops in the city. The things sold in these shops were all things for cultivators. Cultivators could often be seen going in and out of these shops.
No one could be seen flying in the sky in this city. It was obvious that flying was prohibited in this city. Jiang Yu didn’t seem to be too used to such a big city. The battle corpse sect was also a large sect, and they had a big city like this. Jiang Yu was a disciple of the battle corpse sect, so he had been to a big city like this before. Naturally, there was nothing to be surprised about. As for Gu ding, he wasn’t surprised at all. The cities he had seen were much larger than this one, so why would he be surprised?
Jiang Yu’s strength was enough to be considered an expert in a small city, but in a big city like this, it was nothing. Gu ding’s combat strength was also about the same as Jiang Yu’s, so the two of them naturally didn’t dare to stay too long at the teleportation formation. It was obvious that it was the core area of ghost city. There were cultivators in the Qi refining and spirit returning realm everywhere, and there were also many cultivators in the spirit refining and Return To Void realm. It could be dangerous to stay there. Therefore, the two of them left the area and walked toward the outskirts of the city.
Soon, the two of them returned to the periphery of the city. This place couldn’t be compared to the core area of the city. There were many buildings here, but these buildings weren’t very tall, and the cultivators “cultivation wasn’t high.
The two of them found a hotel and booked two rooms. After tidying up the room, Jiang Yu went to Gu ding’s room. Gu ding looked at Jiang Yu and said, ” &Quot; now that we’re here, we should put away the battle corpse sect’s identity card. We can’t let anyone find out and cause a misunderstanding. We’ll just treat ourselves as two rogue cultivators. &Quot;
Jiang Yu replied. He had already kept the battle corpse sect’s identity token. Even though it was fake, it was very similar to the real one. He didn’t want the dark ghost sect to misunderstand him. If they really misunderstood him because of this and then came to deal with him, it wouldn’t be worth it.
Gu ding looked at Jiang Yu and said in a low voice, &Quot; tomorrow, we’ll split up and try to find out as much as we can about the situation in dark ghost city. But remember, don’t try to find out about the dark ghost sect. If we do, we might be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. Do you understand? ”
Jiang Yu nodded. &Quot; Yes, Master. Don’t worry. I know what to do. &Quot;
Guding nodded, &Quot; the devil World is dominated by the top ten sects, so we don’t need to inquire too much about the small sects. We just need to collect enough information about the top ten sects. However, we shouldn’t take the initiative to inquire about this information, as it will only arouse suspicion. What we need to do now is to settle down here so that no one will doubt our identity. Then, we will slowly inquire about the information. Fortunately, you are cultivating a cultivation method now. It’s no longer the battle corpse sect’s cultivation technique, so no one will think you’re a spy of the battle corpse sect. ”
“Master, isn’t it too slow to collect information like this?” Jiang Yu asked in a low voice.
Guding said in a deep voice,”It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter even if we can’t gather any information. As long as our identity isn’t exposed, it’s our victory. Alright, let’s rest for today. Tomorrow, we’ll go out and ask for information. By the way, from today on, no matter when you go out, you must change your appearance. Are you a member of the battle corpse sect or a traitor? the battle corpse sect won’t let you go and will definitely deal with you. They may send people to assassinate you. So you’d better not show your true face.”
Jiang Yu responded and returned to his room. Gu ding knew that the battle corpse sect would not let them off so easily and would definitely send someone to kill them. Even if the battle corpse sect had a grudge against the dark ghost sect, they would still send someone to assassinate them. The battle corpse sect wanted Jiang Yu’s body cultivation technique and did not want Jiang Yu to leak the method of extracting the soul Flame.
In fact, it wasn’t just the battle corpse sect. If the other sects knew that Jiang Yu had this method of extracting Soul Fire, they wouldn’t let him off either. This was because all the sects in the devil World used this method. If this method was spread, it would be equivalent to breaking their Foundation. They wouldn’t allow such a method to exist.
It was precisely because of this that Gu ding could not allow Jiang Yu to reveal his identity. Fortunately, the battle corpse sect did not know about it at the time of execution. He could transform into a human, so that the battle corpse sect would discover them later.
Thinking of this, Gu ding couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, he went to rest. What he needed to do now was to find out more about the dark ghost sect before leaving.
Just as Gu ding and Jiang Yu were resting, the situation at the battle corpse sect was different. In the main hall of the battle corpse sect, a few people were surrounding elder Jia’s corpse and carefully examining it. Their expressions were not very good.
After a while, a tall and strong cultivator looked at the others and said in a deep voice, ” “Everyone has seen the situation. Elder Jia was killed by some kind of energy attack. It seems like the thing that attacked him was an arrow.”
The few of them nodded, and another person said, ” “Elder Jia seemed to have been injured and his golden corpse was gone. It seems that the enemy destroyed his golden corpse first and then killed him with an arrow. But who was the one who attacked him? Is it Jiang Yu and the others?”
It turned out that even though the elders had felt the energy fluctuations from elder Jia’s battle and had immediately gone to support him, they had not seen how elder Jia had died. They also did not know if the one who had killed elder Jia was Jiang Yu.
In fact, it was very normal for them to think this way. The black arrow that killed elder Jia was very well hidden. They did not notice it at all. Moreover, the black arrow was just like what the cultivator had said. It was an energy arrow. Although it looked like it was made of bone, it was actually made of energy. After the arrow killed elder Jia, it disappeared. So, it was normal for them to not see how elder Jia died.
There was another point that made the battle corpse sect unable to believe that elder Jia had died at the hands of Jiang Yu. In their opinion, Jiang Yu was only at the Qi refining and spirit returning realm. With his strength, how could he have killed elder Jia, who was at the void refinement realm and the Dao fusing realm? It was even more impossible for him to kill elder Jia in one move.
Although they all knew that the river Jade hand city had a powerful magic tool, they didn’t think that one magic tool could kill elder Jia in one move. Elder Jia’s golden corpse had an amazing defensive power. Even if it was a high-level magic tool, if it wasn’t in the hands of an expert, he wouldn’t be able to develop much power, let alone break the Golden corpse’s defense and kill it, which would cause elder Jia’s spiritual awareness to be injured.
None of the battle corpse sect members could believe that elder Jia had died at Jiang Yu’s hands. However, if elder Jia really did not die at Jiang Yu’s hands, then this matter would be even more complicated.
If elder Jia had died at Jiang Yu’s hands, then everything would have been fine. That could only mean that Jiang Yu was extremely powerful, or that he had some unknown means to kill elder Jia. However, if the one who killed elder Jia wasn’t Jiang Yu, then things would be complicated.
Although elder Jia had not comprehended the power of law, he was still an expert at the void refinement realm and the Dao integration realm. In the devil spirit world, he was definitely one of the strongest people. Even a person who had comprehended the power of law could not kill him. However, someone like him could kill him directly in a few moves. How strong was this person? Most importantly, who was this person? which force did he come from? Why did he come to the battle corpse sect, and why did he kill elder Jia? All of this was extremely important.
The tall and strong cultivator said in a deep voice, ” “It doesn’t matter if it’s Jiang Yu or not. He must have escaped from our territory by now, but it’s impossible that he didn’t leave any traces behind. Pass down my order, all the subsidiary sects are to investigate this matter with all their might. Anyone who can provide us with useful clues will be heavily rewarded by our battle corpse sect.”
When everyone heard him say this, they quickly bowed to him and said in unison, ” “Yes, sect master.”
It turned out that this tall and strong man was the sect master of the battle corpse sect. In the devil World, he was known as the heavenly corpse Daoist, Miao qizi. This Miao qizi was very famous in the devil World. He could control five battle corpses by himself, and all five of them had become living corpses. One could see how powerful he was. One living corpse was equivalent to a void refinement realm cultivator, or even stronger than an ordinary void refinement realm cultivator. How powerful could he be to be able to control five of them? It was really hard to say. He only knew that he had not fought for hundreds of years, and when he was wandering in the devil World before, he had not met an opponent for a long time.
