Chapter 439: Eternal Night City
After Qiu Tianhen answered, the voice in the fog obviously relaxed.
"Old Qiu, didn't you say that since the underworld is in chaos, we shouldn't use this Yin-Yang Road for the time being? Why are you here again?"
Seeing that the Yin-Yang intersection was open, Qiu Tianhen led Lang Wumiao and the others to continue moving forward.
As he walked away, he replied, "I'm here to help you."
"Help... No, there are demons behind you? And humans?"
The voice was panicked and angry.
At this time, Lang Wumiao flashed, passed Qiu Tianhen, and rushed into the fog ahead.
Then there was a low scream.
Qiu Tianhen rushed out of the intersection and saw Lang Wumiao holding a little ghost in his hand.
The little ghost was dressed as a soldier, and behind him there were dozens of frightened ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers pointed their long spears at Lang Wumiao, not daring to shout out a warning, nor to attack.
Xu Zhenfeng and several great human monks behind him also rushed out of the intersection.
Only then did I see that the intersection of Yin-Yang Road on the underworld side was actually located on the city wall next to the city gate.
These ghosts are ghost soldiers guarding outside the city.
Xu Zhenfeng glanced around. Eternal Night City was the city where the King of Hell lived. The strange thing was that this city did not look as big as the King's City of Demon Mountain.
There were layers of mist all around, the whole world was dead, and it was impossible to see far away.
On the top of the city walls, there were many flags of the four ghost kings and the underworld, also drooping.
The city wall was incredibly high. Even with Xu Zhenfeng's sharp eyesight, he couldn't see any soldiers patrolling on the top of the city wall after looking around.
The city gate was also tightly closed, and there were only dozens of ghost soldiers guarding outside the gate.
Qiu Tianhen quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't shout too loudly, or you'll alarm the ghost guarding the city wall."
The dozens of ghosts outside the city gate didn't dare to speak loudly.
One of them looked like the leader of the ghosts. Like Qiu Tianhen, he lowered his voice and asked angrily:
"Qiu Tianhen, what do you mean by that? What do you want to do by bringing the demons and humans here?"
Qiu Tianhen quickly replied: "They are here to help rescue your Lord Yan. How can I harm you?"
The leading ghost soldier's expression finally eased a little. He looked at the human monks, Lang Wumiao, and Xu Zhenfeng.
"How can you help with just a few of you? The four Ghost Emperors are now stationed in Evernight City.
Now the Cold Hell and the Nine-Layered Yama Palace are in their hands, and His Majesty the Lord of Hell is also in their hands."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenfeng immediately said, "You mean to say that His Majesty the Lord of Hell has not yet handed over the Lord of Hell's Dark Seal? Is his soul not yet scattered?"
The leading ghost soldier looked at Xu Zhenfeng with some dissatisfaction, "My Majesty is a man of steel, how could he surrender and rebel?"
"Then do you know where your Majesty is being held now?"
The leading ghost shook his head and said, "His Majesty is still in Evernight City. The news we have heard now is that His Majesty King Yan is imprisoned in the secret realm built by the Four Directions Ghost Emperors using the Dragon Clan's Reverse Scales.
As for where the secret realm is? No one knows except the four ghost emperors and their confidants. "
Xu Zhenfeng suddenly understood, but then became a little confused again.
The Four Ghost Emperors actually have enough dragon scales to build a secret realm?
The Dragon King's Secret Realm is constructed using the reverse scales of countless dragons.
I don’t know where these four ghost emperors got so many dragon scales, but they can actually form a secret realm?
But think about it, even if the Four Ghost Emperors have the Dragon Clan's reverse scales in their hands, it is extremely limited.
The constructed Ni Lin secret realm should be very small, perhaps only as big as a room.
The secret realm can be moved, and the smaller the secret realm, the easier it is to move.
It is indeed extremely difficult to find such a small secret place in the City of Eternal Night.
"Have you heard the news that the human race and the demon race have joined forces to enter the underworld to rescue Lord Yan?"
Xu Zhenfeng continued to ask.
The leading ghost shook his head in confusion, "Although we have surrendered, we are not trusted by the rebels.
I can only guard the gate outside the city. I can't enter Evernight City, nor can I leave here. I wonder what news is out there?"
"Then how do you know that Lord Yan was imprisoned in the secret realm of the Four Ghost Emperors?"
Xu Zhenfeng's eyes became alert.
The leading ghost quickly whispered, "We have an insider in the city who sends us some information every few days."
Xu Zhenfeng sneered, "Why don't you tell the truth? We are here to help you, but you refuse to tell the truth.
Are you sure that your Lord Yan will be able to survive all the punishments in hell? Are you sure that the rebels dare not kill your Majesty?"
After hearing this, the ghost remained silent for a long time, and then he pulled Qiu Tianhen aside.
The monsters and humans here don't care about them.
I wonder what Qiu Tianhen said to him?
After a while, the ghost and Qiu Tianhen came back.
This time, he no longer concealed it, and said to Xu Zhenfeng, Lang Wumiao and other human cultivators: "We have heard about the human race and the demon race joining forces to enter the underworld, but we have never seen them.
Up to now, you are the only ones who have arrived at Eternal Night City. Our insider in the city has begun to gain the trust of the Southern Ghost Emperor. If we wait a little longer, maybe he will be able to find the place where the Four Ghost Emperors are imprisoning Your Majesty.
At this time, even if the demon and human reinforcements arrive, we cannot attack by force. The rebels will use His Majesty to threaten us and other loyal subordinates of His Majesty at any time."
He did not say that the rebels used King Yan to threaten the human and demon races. It does not matter who King Yan is to the human and demon races.
For both humans and demons, the King of Hell in the Underworld will do as long as he is not a ghost that can be controlled by humans or demons.
Of course, it would be best if we could control it.
This is why the underworld has been in rebellion for so long, but has always refused to ask for help from humans and demons.
The underworld is also afraid that humans and demons will take the opportunity to control the underworld, or use this to threaten the underworld.
Even if it comes to the last resort, we must ask for help to resolve the problem.
They also hope that the human race and the demon race can restrain each other, giving the underworld more room to maneuver.
