Chapter 676

Ning Zhuo read the jade slip three times, and the sadness in his heart finally eased a little. The content in the jade slip was a lot, all of which was the Buddha Doctor Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's care for Ning Zhuo, involving all aspects, including Luo Si.

Ning Zhuo transferred the jade slip to Luo Si.

Luo Si waved his hand, his voice hoarse: "This was left by the Young Master's mother, how can I—"

Although he didn't know the details, the voice of Ning Zhuo calling "Mother" just now was real.

Ning Zhuo shook his head slowly, his face stained with tears, filled with sadness: "This is the guidance my mother left for me, and it also involves you. It was my mother's special instruction to let you see it."

"She asked me to treat you well, after all, we will be comrades for a lifetime."

"And this content can also deepen the understanding between us; there is nothing unspeakable. It's just that the content of the 'Water Burial Harmony and Virtue Accumulation Scripture' has been hidden by me, I hope you understand."

Luo Si apologized, then stretched out his hands to take the jade slip.

He read it once, his face solemn, nodded slightly, and returned the jade slip to Ning Zhuo.

In the jade slip, the Buddha Doctor Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin also left a special message for Luo Si, relaying the arrangements of the Gray Bone Elder before his death: The Gray Bone Elder passed the 'Water Burial Harmony and Virtue Accumulation Scripture' to the savior Ning Zhuo, requiring the latter to quickly study and master this Dao scripture. Then, bury the Gray Bone Elder in the Wangchuan River.

Luo Si: "Since it is Senior Gray Bone's arrangement, I will of course help with all my might."

After a pause, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Besides this, I also want to investigate the battlefield to find out who harmed the senior's life!"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Time is limited, we will summon the Qingjiao Army to clean up the battlefield now and collect information as much as possible."

"How much time do you think is appropriate to spend?"

The Water Burial Valley is located within the territory of the Wangchuan Underworld and is very likely to be hunted by the Wangchuan Prefect's army, so it is not safe here.

Luo Si thought for a while: "After half an hour, we must evacuate!"

"Good." Ning Zhuo agreed immediately; he trusted Luo Si's judgment in leading troops.

Half an hour later, the Qingjiao Army set off on time.

The battlefield was cleaned very cleanly.

The ghost god bodies were cut open, and everything of value was taken away!

Apart from these, there was nothing else.

The remains and paper scraps of the paper person army were also deliberately collected by the Qingjiao Army and burned directly to prevent the Wangchuan Prefect from finding other paper person armies along this clue.

The battle in the Water Burial Valley was too fierce. There were not many valuable spoils, and the core battlefield had already been turned into a lava zone, with no reliable clues at all.

Regarding this, Ning Zhuo and Luo Si both had some vague guesses.

The Qingjiao Army set off from the Water Burial Valley and started again.

After traveling only two or three miles, they bumped into Sun Sun Lingtong.

Since Sun Sun Lingtong was taken away from Wangchuan Xiancheng by Zeng Zeng Jide, he had been rushing on his way without stopping.

But his cultivation was insufficient, and after the Wangchuan Prefect returned from transmission, he immediately issued an order to hunt him down, leading to pursuers everywhere.

Sun Sun Lingtong could only hide here and there, and the rhythm of his journey was greatly disturbed. Therefore, it was only now that he had arrived at the Water Burial Valley.

"Boss!" Ning Zhuo transmitted his thoughts, almost shouting out loud.

The joy that arose spontaneously in his heart diluted the sadness brought by the Water Burial Valley.

Sun Sun Lingtong also transmitted his thoughts: "Xiao Zhuo, my trip to Wangchuan Xiancheng was too exciting! Luo Si?!"

His eyes widened, and he discovered Luo Si. After being surprised, he immediately guessed part of the truth.

Ning Zhuo then introduced Luo Si and Sun Sun Lingtong to each other.

When introducing Sun Sun Lingtong, he said: This person is my most capable subordinate, whom I previously sent to infiltrate Wangchuan Xiancheng to cause great destruction.

When introducing Luo Si, Ning Zhuo explained Luo Si's clever move in the Black Cloud battlefield to turn over a new leaf and subvert the battle situation, focusing on expressing his appreciation for the crusade essay that Luo Si shouted on the battlefield.

When Sun Sun Lingtong heard Ning Zhuo treat him as a subordinate, he giggled, not minding this reversal of heaven and earth at all.

The two brothers had developed a tacit understanding as early as in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. Outside, the relationship between the two could be changed at will, all for the sake of convenience.

Luo Si cupped his hands, his expression puzzled: "Have we met somewhere before?"

Sun Sun Lingtong giggled, took out the Dust-Cleansing Lamp, cupped his fists and said: "I have to thank the General for the gift."

It turned out that when Sun Sun Lingtong saw Luo Si fishing by the Wangchuan River, Luo Si had taken the initiative to give him this Dust-Cleansing Lamp.

When Luo Si saw it, his eyes lit up: "So it was you!"

At that time, when Sun Sun Lingtong and Luo Si met, it was his soul entering the underworld, wearing the body of a paper person soldier.

After clarifying his identity at this moment, Luo Si immediately felt close to Sun Sun Lingtong.

The Qingjiao Army wrapped the three in the center and began to gallop all the way.

The three used spiritual sense to communicate, telling each other about their experiences, and could not help but exclaim one after another.

Sun Sun Lingtong originally thought that his side was already very exciting, but he didn't expect that Ning Zhuo's side was simply dancing on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, with the whole process constantly experiencing life-and-death tests.

Ning Zhuo sighed: "Next time we meet Senior Zeng Zeng Jide, we must thank him properly. He helped us too much!"

Luo Si cupped his fists to thank Sun Sun Lingtong, his expression sincere. It was precisely because Sun Sun Lingtong made a big scene in Wangchuan Xiancheng and stole the array instrument 'Earth Lung Turbid Qi Surging Barrier' from the heart of the Earth Phase Array at a critical moment that Luo Si was able to hold on longer.

If it weren't for this, Luo Si would have died in battle at the hands of the Earth Evil Turbid Filth God long ago. From this point of view, it is no exaggeration to say that Sun Sun Lingtong is Luo Si's savior.

Luo Si had a heavy sense of gratitude and immediately expressed to Sun Sun Lingtong that he wanted to repay this kindness.

Sun Sun Lingtong waved his hand: "I didn't go to break into the Xiancheng this time for you, but for my lord. It's not about any life-saving grace."

Seeing Luo Si call Ning Zhuo 'Young Master', he immediately set an example for Luo Si, as if saying—see? This is the true attitude we should have toward Ning Zhuo.

Luo Si shook his head, his expression serious, indicating that Sun Sun Lingtong didn't care, but he did. He must repay this kindness in the future!

Sun Sun Lingtong sighed and wrung his wrists: "It's a pity that Senior Gray Bone died, alas, painful."

This remark immediately triggered Luo Si's sadness.

Sun Sun Lingtong reminisced: "Although I only met Senior Gray Bone once, although it was not a face-to-face meeting, I have already felt the senior's noble character, his compassion and kindness for living beings, and his persistence in his own Dao path."

Ning Zhuo followed closely: "If it weren't for Senior Gray Bone's layout and guidance, we would never have been able to crack the Wangchuan Prefect's century-long grand plan! In my opinion, he is the greatest hero!!"

Luo Si nodded repeatedly, revealing a trace of hatred: "The Wangchuan Prefect sent people to harm Senior Gray Bone's life; this hatred is as big as the sky, and I will definitely repay it in this life!"

Sun Sun Lingtong giggled: "Don't worry, although my lord is only seventeen years old and only has Foundation Establishment cultivation, given time, he will definitely not be worse than this Wangchuan Prefect. A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years! In the future, we will follow the lord together and will definitely be able to take revenge!"

Sun Sun Lingtong was extremely good at cooperating with Ning Zhuo, and his eloquence was also very good. While talking about revenge, he went deep into Luo Si's heart, and at the same time, he was flattering Ning Zhuo.

Luo Si knew that Ning Zhuo only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, but when he heard the age of seventeen, he was still moved.

He looked at Ning Zhuo and couldn't help but cup his fists and exclaim: "The Young Master is truly a genius!"

Ning Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand and said a few words of humility.

Sun Sun Lingtong held his head high, his face full of pride from the heart: "Otherwise, why would the heaven of the human world choose my lord to come and destroy the Wangchuan Prefect's scheme? Hahaha!"

He was truly happy, especially when he heard Ning Zhuo say that he had obtained a third innate talent. This made him even happier than if Sun Sun Lingtong himself had obtained it!

Luo Si looked at Ning Zhuo and then at Sun Sun Lingtong. He could feel the close relationship between the two, and seeing that there were such people who sincerely guarded Ning Zhuo by his side, Luo Si's evaluation of Ning Zhuo in his heart was raised by another level.

Ning Zhuo coughed and turned to look at Luo Si.

Sun Sun Lingtong did not hear the subtext of Luo Si's words because they hadn't been together for long and didn't know Luo Si's personality.

Luo Si was light and airy on the surface, had the demeanor of a great general, and his words all carried ambushes, hiding other intentions.

Ning Zhuo could hear it.

He pondered: "In my opinion, the enemy who persecuted Senior Gray Bone and my mother this time may not be the Wangchuan Prefect's subordinates."

"There are two reasons."

"First, the battlefield was quite tragic, and many aspects showed that the battle specification was very high. If the Wangchuan Prefect had such powerful subordinates,

he should have sent them to the Black Cloud battlefield first."

"Second, if it was really the Wangchuan Prefect who harmed them, my mother should have stated it in the jade slip. But she didn't do that!"

"This is naturally not because she was worried about the Wangchuan Prefect's retaliation. This time, we have already formed an irreconcilable hatred with this Underworld King."

"Mother specifically instructed me not to investigate the Chaos Fate Gate at this stage. I suspect that the group attacking the Water Burial Valley is this group." Sun Sun Lingtong frowned immediately.

Luo Si felt a sense of comfort; he discovered again that communicating with Ning Zhuo was really worry-free. The latter really knew Luo Si's subtext!

Ning Zhuo looked at Luo Si sincerely: "I also know very little about the information regarding the Reverse Fate Gate."

Immediately, he told Luo Si all the relevant information he knew.

Hearing that a super sect like the Wanxiang Sect valued the Chaos Fate Gate so much, Luo Si also attached great importance to it.

He said to Ning Zhuo: "Even if a mortal just stares at the sun, his eyes will be blinded. The Young Master's mother's warning is correct; right now, we should accumulate strength and grow rapidly, waiting for the opportunity for revenge in the future!"

As for revenge, Luo Si knew too much.

He himself had deep hatred and wanted to enter the human world for revenge.

Now that he had defected to Ning Zhuo, who was favored by the heaven of the human world, Luo Si felt that his future was wide and bright.

Whoosh. ——

A strong underworld wind suddenly blew from the front.

The underworld wind eroded bones, causing many of the caught-off-guard Qingjiao Army to be injured and fall from their horses.

Fortunately, the black-blood paper horses were military equipment, obeying orders and prohibitions, and stopped their hooves in time, causing no stampede accidents.

Luo Si introduced: "The wind in the underworld sometimes suddenly becomes dangerous; some can erode bones, while others can shave souls."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh. —

On the following march, the underworld wind often underwent mutations, causing damage to the Qingjiao Army. The troublesome point was that the underworld wind often blew harmlessly, and suddenly turned extremely threatening.

Sun Sun Lingtong frowned: "Strange, I have also traveled in the underworld, but I have never encountered any underworld wind mutation."

The Qingjiao Army continued to move forward.

The seemingly solid wasteland surface, covered with black gravel, turned into a pitch-black, sticky, glue-like quicksand vortex without warning!

It seemed to have life, accurately opening its giant mouth on the movement path of the army's core.

In a panic, the soldiers of the Qingjiao Army could only abandon the black-blood paper horses, step hard, resist the huge suction force, and forcibly ascend to the sky to strive for time.

Other cultivators acted decisively to save their comrades from the desperate situation.

Luo Si said in a deep voice: "This is a quicksand black hole, which is also a natural phenomenon of the underworld, similar to the underworld wind mutation."

"It's just that the frequency of this phenomenon is very low."

On the way that followed, the Qingjiao Army encountered it three times.

Sun Sun Lingtong: "This is still called low frequency?"

Ning Zhuo was thoughtful.

When the Qingjiao Army was about to cross a valley, Ning Zhuo decisively ordered: "Go around this place."

As a result, not long after they went around, the mountain wall on the side suddenly collapsed, and countless rolling stones fell down.

This time, the Qingjiao Army was on full alert and immediately reacted, resisting this disaster.

However, even so, more than a dozen people were still seriously injured.

Luo Si said: "If we had walked through the valley, I'm afraid that at this time, almost all of us would have been buried alive in the valley."

A cold light flashed in Sun Sun Lingtong's eyes: "Is this the treatment of heaven's hatred?"

He had already learned the full content of the Buddha Doctor Meng Meng Meng Yaoyin's jade slip message from Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Luo Si, Ning Zhuo shared the 'Water Burial Harmony and Virtue Accumulation Scripture' directly with Sun Sun Lingtong.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "It seems that the manifestation of this hatred is the endless, 'coincidental' deadly dangers."

"Wind and thunder will rise even on flat ground!"

Sun Sun Lingtong's thinking diverged: "Heaven's hatred is like this; if it intensifies and becomes heaven's punishment, will there be a heavenly tribulation?"

Ning Zhuo and the others tasted the treatment of heaven's hatred, which was simply like a shadow, and vicious.

The entire Qingjiao Army walked on thin ice, struggling to trek, and casualties gradually increased along the way.

"Finally arrived."

They came to the bank of the Underworld Jiaohe, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief with difficulty.

The Underworld Jiaohe is a special zone. Cultivators who go deep into the river can shuttle between the Yin and Yang worlds. Previously, the Wangchuan army followed this route to invade the Yin-Tide Black Wet Swamp and attack White Paper Xiancheng.

Wangchuan Xiancheng.

City Lord's Mansion.

On the bed, the Wangchuan Prefect woke up slowly and immediately heard a burst of crying with joy.

"Prefect, the Prefect is awake!"

"The Lord is awake, everything will be fine."

"Lord Prefect, urgent report from the front! The Ghost Fire Underworld has launched three armies to attack our prefecture on all fronts!"

The Wangchuan Prefect heard others crying and reporting good news, and his mind was still blurred. But when he heard the last sentence, his scalp immediately went numb, and he woke up suddenly, sitting up straight: "What? What did you say?!"

The cultivators gathered in front of the bed were shocked, and then the general who reported it repeated it loudly again.

The Wangchuan Prefect immediately narrowed his eyes, his face full of seriousness, and stood up directly: "Pass my order—"

Accompanied by his series of orders, three lines of defense were quickly built in everyone's hearts.

"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and do things!" After the Wangchuan Prefect waved everyone away, he secretly summoned his confidants.

"Listen to me, you must do this with all your might. I allow you to mobilize all resources!" The Wangchuan Prefect ordered with a cold face, "Investigate a ghost girl for me with all your might; according to current information, she is called Qing—pfft!"

Before the Wangchuan Prefect finished speaking, he spat blood, his eyes went dark, and he fainted again.

"Lord!!!"

At the same time, Ning Zhuo, who had infiltrated the Underworld Jiaohe and officially returned to the human world, felt a violent shock in his storage belt.

"Oh?"

He hurriedly scanned with his spiritual sense and found that it was the Wangchuan Prefect Seal.
