Chapter 1054: The Gate of Soul City

When Mu Xingqiu arrived at Fuhuang City, it was not long before dawn. As soon as he flew over the mountains, he felt the atmosphere was strange. When he landed in front of the city gate, the feeling became even stronger, as if there was a huge monster as big as a mountain. Squatting in the dark, the fishy smell of his breath made his hair stand on end, but he couldn't see what it looked like.

Not long after the sun rose, it began to show its power. It was so bright that Mu Xingqiu could see the entire city. But no matter how much mana he added, he could not see the source of this weird atmosphere with his third eye. It was like a diffuse spell. He But it can't be absorbed.

Jiang Huo'er ran forward as soon as he landed, and stopped after a dozen steps. He looked down at the rope on his waist. It was a magic rope for blessing talismans. The two ends were tied to the waists of Mu Xingqiu and Jiang Huo'er respectively. The two of them were so close to each other during the previous flight that the little guy didn't notice. Only then did he realize the restraints on his body.

Jiang Huo'er didn't like the rope on his body. It reminded him of his painful experience in the past. He grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled hard. His strength even surprised Kou San. It had no effect on Mu Xingqiu. After pulling a few times, The rope that had been stretched straight became longer. Jiang Huoer happily continued to run forward. After stretching it, he pulled it. He ran out for more than a hundred steps and entered the city. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make the rope longer.

The city was deserted, and the already deserted streets were even more deserted at this time. Occasionally, the wind would blow, and the unclosed doors would bang.

Jiang Huo'er had never seen the world, so he didn't think there was anything strange about this empty city at all. He stared around with a pair of round eyes, and suddenly found that his feet were off the ground and rising slowly. He had always thought Learn to fly and be happier because of it.

The rope lengthened again and stopped when it reached almost the same height as the city gate tower. Jiang Huo'er was able to overlook most of the city. Looking around, there was no one anywhere. This was an empty city, a dead city, but there was no attack. There were signs of destruction. The cows and horses were eating and resting quietly, enjoying the day without any work. However, the cats and dogs were hiding, occasionally letting out a mournful cry.

Mu Xingqiu saw everything in the city with the help of Jiang Huo'er's eyes, and couldn't help but wonder what trick Lord Yishi was playing. He invited himself here, but hid the entire city. Mu Xingqiu couldn't remember Yishi Jun. It was only because of Qin Lingshuang that he believed in this demon of souls. Now he couldn't help but regret it.

He turned around and saw an old man walking slowly on crutches.

This is a very elegant old man, with white hair and a boyish face, a wide robe and big sleeves. He is very tall, with a straight waist. The crutch in his hand is a head taller than a person - really tall, with a complete skull stuck on the top of the stick. ——The walk was not fast, and every step was taken solemnly, as if the road was lined with humble subjects.

The old man walked to Mu Xingqiu, stood side by side with him, and looked into the city for a while, "Your method is good. I sent in one hundred and thirty-seven vanguards, and not one came out."

Mu Xingqiu could use the talisman to check the situation in the city without Jiang Huo'er, but the little guy was too lively, so he let him play with it.

"Are you here to attack Fuhuang City?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"Well, this city is more difficult to conquer than I expected. Mr. Yishi is indeed a demon of souls who has lived for thousands of years. He has some real abilities." The old man turned around and cupped his hands slightly, "I'm Lian Haishan Yang Yongfu. I command a hundred thousand scattered cultivators in the south of the Yangtze River, and I haven’t asked you for your name?”

Mu Xingqiu had been walking in the south of the Yangtze River and knew that there was Lianhai Mountain, but he had never heard of Yang Yongfu, who was in charge of "One Hundred Thousand Loose Cultivators". In troubled times, there were many rumors and braggarts everywhere, but Mu Xingqiu didn't care. He returned the courtesy and said, "I am Mu Xingqiu. I don't seem to see many casual cultivators of the demon clan."

Yang Yongfu's face changed slightly, "Are you implying that I am a demon?"

"It's just a feeling. If I'm wrong, please forgive me."

Yang Yongfu snorted, turned around, and after a while asked, "What does it feel like? I'm not a monster, but I want to know why you sensed monster energy from me?"

"Yei Qi? No, you don't have monster energy in you. This is... I feel like I know you. Have we met?"

"Ha." Yang Yongfu scoffed and did not answer.

Mu Xingqiu became more and more convinced that they must have met before, but it was impossible for him to remember, so there was no need to bother.

Yang Yongfu turned the crutch in his hand until it was a few inches into the ground, "Don't you want to know why I led the casual cultivators to attack Fuhuang City?"

"For Nascent Soul. Mu Xingqiu doesn't need to guess.

"Hehe, but do you know who I came to seize the Nascent Soul for?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head.

"The Patriarch." Yang Yongfu said flatly, but in the end he only received a dull response. He turned to stare at Mu Xingqiu, "I know you have lost your memory, but do you know who the Patriarch is?"

"Kun Chao, you are very lucky. Many people want to work for him but have no way to do so. What is your unique method?"

"So you also know the Patriarch's preferences." Yang Yongfu showed a smile on his face, "You will be able to see my unique method later. I can be appreciated by the Patriarch for more than one reason." He paused for a moment, " I am Zuo Liuying’s friend.”

"I see." Mu Xingqiu said perfunctorily, Zuo Liuying's image becoming increasingly blurry in his eyes.

"The attack on Fuhuang City is an extremely important task. Zuo Liuying leaves it to me. I will not let him down." Yang Yongfu nodded solemnly.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Xingqiu decided to stay out of the matter for the time being. Mr. Yishi was very powerful. Since he didn't ask for help, he didn't need help from others.

"Jun Yishi is an old cunning man." Yang Yongfu said bitterly, his voice trembling a little, as if he had suffered at the hands of Mr. Yishi. "He expected that Fuhuang City would be attacked, so he set up the formation early. , he is the demon of all souls, his body is the law body, he can change and abandon it at will, but he cannot leave the body for too long, so he turned the whole city into his own body, including casual cultivators, talisman masters, and ordinary people. Inside, there are 40,000 to 50,000 tools.”

Yang Yongfu pulled out his crutch and pointed into the city, "This is a soul city. The bodies of tens of thousands of people are used as bricks. Anyone who enters will have their bodies and souls separated, and their souls will shuttle back and forth among unfamiliar bodies. Who else is better at this than Mr. Yishi?" The easiest way to deal with this is to destroy the city and all the people in it." Yang Yongfu shook the skull on the top of his crutch, "But that won't work. There are at least twenty Nascent Souls in the city, maybe. More, we came to attack Fuhuang City to snatch the Nascent Soul, and we must not accidentally kill any of them."

There was a Nascent Soul tied to the other end of the rope around Mu Xingqiu's waist, but Yang Yongfu didn't show any interest in it as if he didn't recognize it.

"In this case, there is only one way left, which is to send experts into the city to fight the spirit of Lord Yishi." Yang Yongfu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You have sent in one hundred and thirty-seven vanguards."

"They are the pioneers. It's normal to get stuck. Moreover, they sent out some information. Even though they are defeated, it is an honor. Next, I will send generals to the field." Yang Yongfu looked at Mu Xingqiu.

"I'm not your subordinate, let alone a 'general'."

"Of course, my general is someone else, but I need you to do me a favor, and also do yourself a favor."

"Please tell me."

"The battlefield is ruthless, Lord Yishi is ruthless, and he is desperate. He would rather the fish die and the net is broken. Someone has to protect those Nascent Souls. If they are killed or injured, my battle will be in vain. Only you can do this, because you are not My general is not from Mr. Yishi either.”

"I might be busy with Mr. Yishi." Mu Xingqiu told the truth, that's why he came here, but Mr. Yishi was invisible, so he didn't go directly into the city.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. As long as you prioritize protecting the Nascent Soul at the most critical moment, it's up to you to do whatever you want to do at other times."

This favor was simple. Mu Xingqiu would have done it without Yang Yongfu asking, so he felt a little strange, "You recognize me. You didn't come out to ask for my help. You came out to test something."

"Tao Zun is still Dao Zun, and it hasn't changed since you lost your memory. We did know each other once. Let's talk about it after you regain your memory."

Yang Yongfu raised his cane and pointed his skull at the sky. A green light shot straight into the sky. Dark clouds came from all directions. There were many people inside. Although there were not a hundred thousand people, there were still more than ten thousand people. During the troubled times, the population dropped sharply, but it was remarkable that Yang Yongfu could gather so many casual cultivators.

Mu Xingqiu took a closer look with his third eye and found that not all the people in the cloud were casual cultivators. To be precise, they were less than 20%. Most of the remaining people were obviously ordinary mortals. They were all drawn to make up the numbers. They all looked pale and frightened. It's not easy.

Dark clouds gathered together, there were seven thunders and seven lightning bolts, giving the impression of a casual cultivator going out into battle. Then an iron chain fell from the sky, with a person tied at the end.

"Yaoxie, let me go!" the man shouted in the air.

Yang Yongfu smiled and said: "Mu Xingqiu, you should recognize him, right?"

Of course Mu Xingqiu recognized it. That was Yang Yannian, the master of Pangshan. They fought twice. The last time in the South China Sea forest, Yang Yannian's demon-suppressing bell was taken away by his companions. He chose to escape. Mu Xingqiu learned these things from Qin Lingshuang. You know, he was in a semi-conscious state at the time.

Yang Yannian stopped above the city gate, his whole body bound by chains. When he saw Mu Xingqiu, he laughed loudly: "Be proud, boy, what does Taoism mean? What does a master mean? Now you see my joke, it won't be long." It will be your turn!"

Mu Xingqiu said nothing, Yang Yongfu pointed his skull at Yang Yannian and said coldly: "Yang Yannian, you should feel lucky that the founder is willing to give you a chance. You don't want to follow in the footsteps of Xiang Haisheng and go into Fuhuang City to capture the aliens alive." Mr. Shi.”

Yang Yannian calmed down a little, "Will the Patriarch forgive me?"

"The Patriarch has no trust, and naturally he has no forgiveness. The Patriarch only needs people who can do things well. If you are useful, the Patriarch will spare your life."

"Does it have to be captured alive?"

"Well, I've got the idea. It's best to capture him alive, but you can also kill him. Remember, if you don't win this battle, I will destroy your original body." Yang Yongfu waved his cane, and Yang Yannian entered the city with chains, and went deep into the back of Li Xu. Suddenly disappeared, leaving only the chain hanging in the air.

"This is my general. If he fails to win in a quarter of an hour, I will personally lead the generals to attack."

Yang Yongfu looked at Mu Xingqiu with a smile, and his smile suddenly disappeared, because Mu Xingqiu's soul had entered the city, and what was left at the gate was a body. He was outside but his soul entered the city. His spells were much more powerful than Yang Yannian. .

Jiang Huo'er didn't know anything and was flying around within the range of the rope.

Yang Yongfu waved his crutch again, and hundreds of casual cultivators descended from the dark clouds, floating in the air more than a hundred feet high, "Jun Yishi, Master Mu, I will not let you underestimate me again."
