"There are so many ghost kings. No matter how powerful this city defense formation is, if all the ghost kings attack together, ten cities may be destroyed."

"These ghost kings are only willing to wander around the periphery, but are unwilling to attack the city with all their strength. Is it because they are afraid of damaging the souls of the mortals in the city and damaging their food?"

While Su Yi was pondering, a stammering voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Senior, the ghosts around you..."

Su Yi looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache and a disciple's uniform from Yellow Maple Valley. He pointed at the red-eyed ghosts next to Su Yi with a surprised look on his face.

Su Yi counted and found that there were a total of seven red-eyed ghosts, which were considered to be extremely powerful. Even ordinary golden elixir cultivators did not dare to underestimate them.

But facing the ghost king or the human Nascent Soul monks, they still can't make any waves.

"It's nothing. Su has practiced a technique and can control low-level ghosts."

Su Yi said calmly.

In fact, his technique can control ghosts that are not higher than him, but he doesn't want to expose the full power of this technique, so he said so.

The middle-aged male monk with a mustache took a step forward, bowed and said: "My surname is Lin Mingyi, and I am the captain of the guard here. Two seniors, I have something to say to these two seniors. I hope you two seniors will move over."

.”

After the three people left, the monk who stayed behind shouted several times toward a hut beside the city wall.

Suddenly dozens of hard workers in ragged clothes and frightened faces came out.

These are workers specifically stationed at the city wall and responsible for repairing the city wall.

The city wall itself is made of extremely strong materials, and ordinary swords will not leave even a trace on it.

But this is no hindrance to ghost cultivators.

The main thing that blocks ghost cultivators is the city defense formation.

The reason why the city wall needs to be repaired is that if the people in the city see it, it will cause panic and cause unnecessary casualties.

The people in the city still thought it was just ordinary rebels causing rebellion.

Su Yi, Leng Qingyue, and Lin Yi came to a remote street corner.

Lin Yi bowed and said: "Seniors, I have a bold plan. I wonder if you two can listen to me."

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "But it doesn't matter."

Lin Yi lowered his voice and whispered: "According to my humble opinion, those ghost kings are delaying attacking the city, probably because they do not harm the mortals in the city, so that they can devour the souls of the mortals after they capture the city."

This point coincides with what Su Yi thought.

Once dozens of Nascent Soul-level ghost cultivators attack with all their strength, it will probably cause devastating damage. As long as the people in the city are slightly affected, they will probably die immediately.

"But if we just sit back and eat, the resources in the city will be exhausted sooner or later. Why not take advantage of the fact that the ghost king outside is still interested in the mortals in the city? Let's open a gap and attract the ghost king in. When they are busy eating, we...

"

Leng Qingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, wondering if you still want to take the opportunity to kill the Ghost King?

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi lowered his voice and continued: "We are taking the opportunity to escape. As the saying goes, we can leave the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. When we become stronger, we will come back to find these people."

It’s not too late to cultivate as a ghost.”

Su Yi was silent, thinking that the head of Ximen probably thought the same way.

However, all this still needs to be decided by the head of Ximen. Not to mention Lin Yi, even Leng Qingyue, who is the special envoy of King Fu, cannot influence the head of Ximen.

Leng Qingyue sighed slightly and said: "Don't mention this matter again. Do you know what the crime is for disturbing the morale of the army?"

Lin Yi was startled when he heard the words, and then showed a panicked look: "The villain is just talking nonsense for a moment, I hope you two won't take offense."

After saying this, he hurriedly left and continued patrolling.

When Su Yi and Leng Qingyue returned to the tower, the atmosphere was very dull and they were speechless.

In a small compartment above the city tower.

Su Yi carefully looked at the six motionless ghosts lying on the ground.

These six ghosts have cultivation levels equivalent to those in the late stages of human race's foundation building period.

Su Yi tried using some water-based spells to attack, but found that hitting the ghost's bones had no effect at all.

He used some low-level magic weapons to try to attack the ghost's bones, and found that the low-level magic weapons were damaged in various ways, but could not damage the ghost's bones at all.

If it weren't for the magical power of the black mist, it would really not be an easy task to eliminate these six ghosts.

At this time, the minds of the six ghosts were controlled by Su Yi. As long as Su Yi gave an order, the six ghosts would be at his disposal.

Su Yi took out a small shield and gave an order to attack one of the ghosts.

I saw two faint will-o'-the-wisp lights on the head of the ghost's skeleton beast, and then the ghost rushed towards the shield with lightning speed.

There was a snap.

The low-level magic weapon was smashed into pieces in this way, and there was no time to even take a breath.

"The physical body is indeed strong, but the means of attack are still lacking."

Su Yi walked out of the attic, flew with his sword, and came to an open space with six ghosts.

He directed one of the ghosts to walk out of the black fog and walk as far away as possible.

When the ghost reached the end of Su Yi's sight, it suddenly stopped.

Su Yi discovered that this was the furthest distance he could currently control the ghost whose mind was controlled by the black mist.

As long as the ghost is out of his sight, the ghost will stop automatically and uncontrollably.

"Although you can't fight enemies from a distance, you are still good as a bodyguard."

Su Yi murmured to himself.

Controlling ghosts to patrol around him can effectively prevent enemy surprises or long-range attacks.

Although the range is limited, it effectively makes up for his current dilemma of only three feet of offensive and defensive range.

When Su Yi returned to the attic with the ghost, Leng Qingyue had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing her sad face, Su Yi couldn't help but ask: "Miss Leng, what happened?"

Leng Qingyue said softly: "Master Su, I just received the teleportation message from the head of Ximen, and I am going to shrink the scope of the teleportation array."

Su Yi was surprised and said: "Shrink the scope? Where to shrink? The Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom? If that's the case, why do you still send us to patrol?"

Leng Qingyue said: "It is not to immediately remove the entire city's teleportation array, but to gradually reduce the power of the peripheral teleportation array to create the illusion that the peripheral teleportation array has been naturally breached."

Su Yi was puzzled and asked: "Who are you showing this illusion to? Is it for the ghost kings outside?"

Leng Qingyue said: "It's not the ghost king outside, but the ordinary city-defending monks in the city, including some low-level Huang Maple Valley disciples."

Su Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood.

The monk named Lin Yi wanted to sacrifice the lives of mortals in the city.

The head of Ximen wanted to sacrifice the lives of the monks in the city.

It's true that one is more cruel than the other.

Su Yi smiled helplessly and asked: "Miss Leng, what should we do then?"

Leng Qingyue said: "Once there is a breach in the formation, the head of Ximen will give orders to the monks in the city to guard the gap, and we will immediately fly to the palace to join the head of Ximen and prepare to break out."

Su Yi pondered: "When does Miss Leng estimate that the gap will appear?"
