Chapter 442 Nameless Fire
When the commander-in-chief heard what Lang Wumiao said, a red light flashed in his dark eyes.
Lang Wumiao just looked at him like that.
The demon and the ghost stared at each other for a long while, neither of them looked away.
Xu Zhenfeng was watching this situation from the side, and for some reason he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
He coughed violently twice.
"Ahem..."
"this......"
The commander-in-chief didn't wait for him to finish his words. He still looked at Lang Wumiao and said, "The demons and humans have joined forces? When did this happen? I didn't even know about it."
Xu Zhenfeng saw that the commander-in-chief ignored him. If it were in the past, he would not care at all.
But now I just feel a nameless anger rising in my heart.
"Great Commander, there are many things you don't know. My demon race and human race have already joined forces. Because of the rebellion in your underworld, that is, to rescue your Lord Yan, we didn't care about the rampage of demons in the human world. I came to your underworld first to rescue you from misfortune. Is this how you treat us?"
Commander Qi was stunned for a moment by Xu Zhenfeng's unreasonable anger.
Lang Wumiao was also a little surprised. She glanced at Xu Zhenfeng and immediately said, "Great Commander, do you have a general idea of where Yan Jun is being held captive by the four Ghost Emperors?"
After hearing Lang Wumiao's question, Commander Qi turned his gaze away from Xu Zhenfeng.
"My Majesty is imprisoned in the Xumi Secret Realm, which is ruled by four Ghost Emperors in turn. I don't know the rules for their rotation yet."
After hearing what Commander Qi said, Lang Wumiao also began to ponder.
Seeing Lang Wumiao thinking, Commander Qi looked at Xu Zhenfeng again.
"Have we seen this great demon before?"
This was the first time Xu Zhenfeng was called a great demon.
He was a little uncomfortable, and after a pause, he realized that Commander Qi was talking to him.
"No, I have never met the commander-in-chief."
"Oh."
Commander Qi looked at him meaningfully, then looked at the graceful Lang Wumiao.
The anger that Xu Zhenfeng had just suppressed suddenly rose up again when he was looked at by him.
At this time, Lang Wumiao asked again: "Is the commander-in-chief now pretending to rebel and serving under the Southern Ghost Emperor?"
"Exactly."
After Commander Qi answered, he continued, "Recently, the Southern Ghost Emperor and the Northern Ghost Emperor have been at odds with each other, fighting each other endlessly, and there have been many frictions among their subordinates."
"Why?"
Hearing Lang Wumiao's question, Commander Qi sneered and said, "There is only one position for the Lord of Hell, but now there are four Ghost Emperors. Who should take this position?"
"Among the five ghost emperors in the underworld, only the Eastern Ghost Emperor did not join the rebellion, but stood by and watched the King of Hell fall into trouble. Did the commander-in-chief send ghosts to contact the Eastern Ghost Emperor?"
Commander Qi looked hesitant, “When Evernight City fell, I sent out ghosts to ask the Eastern Ghost Emperor for help.
But none of the three groups of ghosts we sent out have come back, and I wonder what the situation is with the Eastern Ghost Emperor?"
"The Southern Ghost Emperor and the Northern Ghost Emperor are both at odds, so can the Central Ghost Emperor and the Western Ghost Emperor live in harmony in this small Evernight City?"
Lang Wumiao asked again.
Hearing this, Commander Qi gave a strange smile and replied, "Behind the Southern Ghost Emperor is the Central Ghost Emperor, and behind the Northern Ghost Emperor is the Western Ghost Emperor."
"So in reality, the throne of Lord Yan is a battle between the Central Ghost Emperor and the Western Ghost Emperor?"
Commander Qi nodded silently.
"If my guess is correct, the conflict between the Southern Ghost Emperor and the Northern Ghost Emperor was also caused by the efforts of Commander Qi and your colleagues, right?"
Commander Qi raised his chin slightly and smiled reservedly at Lang Wumiao.
"It was just a small effort."
Xu Zhenfeng watched the question and answer between Commander Qi and Lang Wumiao, and he felt that this guy was very good at pretending to be smart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Especially, Commander Qi's ghostly eyes always stared straight at Lang Wumiao, making him feel extremely annoyed and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Lang Wumiao ignored Commander Qi's black eyes that were flashing red and chuckled, "Commander Qi is too modest."
The two sides exchanged a few rounds of probing words. Lang Wumiao didn't want to waste any more time, so he said bluntly: "We came to the underworld to rescue Lord Yan. Commander Qi, is there anything you need us to do here?"
Commander Qi thought for a moment and said, "I just fought with the Wheel Ghost King under the Northern Ghost Emperor today and I was injured.
But he was more seriously injured than me. If he dies tonight without treatment, the Northern Ghost Emperor will never give up.
Once the conflict between the two Ghost Emperors breaks out in the open, we might be able to find out which Ghost Emperor controls the Xumi Secret Realm? Or we might even know the rules by which they take turns to control the Xumi Secret Realm."
Lang Wumiao nodded, "Where is the Ghost King of the Wheel of Time in Evernight City? How can we get close to him? Even if we succeed, how can we escape?"
When Commander Qi saw Lang Wumiao agreed, he immediately became excited.
He ordered the old ghost named Qin to bring his ghost servants to set up the tea table and bring up some human food offerings. This was considered the beginning of treating him with courtesy.
There was a map of Evernight City on the tea table. Commander Qi pointed to the north of Evernight City on the map and said:
“The Ghost King of the Wheel is stationed in the north city of Evernight City. My subordinates can take you to where the Ghost King of the Wheel is stationed.
But how to sneak in and get close to the Ghost King of the Wheel depends on you.
When it's done, my men will stir up unrest on the other side, right here."
Commander Qi pointed to another place in the north city and continued, "Attract the attention of the Northern Ghost Emperor and his men. You can take advantage of the chaos to escape from here. I will send my men to meet you at the exit."
He pointed to three locations on the map in succession. Xu Zhenfeng and his colleagues looked at the map carefully and asked about the distances to these three places and the distribution of defensive forces.
Xu Zhenfeng asked again about the general situation in Eternal Night City, and Commander Qi told him everything he knew.
Xu Zhenfeng assessed the combat effectiveness of his side again.
Although he is also a great demon, he can only be regarded as the last in this small team of humans and demons.
Lang Wumiao is at the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Rank, and the four great human cultivators are all at the second or third level of the Heavenly Rank, and one is at the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank.
Due to the demon clan's suppression of ghosts, it must have been Lang Wumiao who killed the Wheel-Turning Ghost King.
Xu Zhenfeng and his men had to create an opportunity for Lang Wumiao to kill the Ghost King, and Lang Wumiao could not leave any traces of the demon clan when killing the Ghost King.
We have to make the Northern Ghost Emperor believe that it was the Southern Ghost Emperor’s subordinates who did it.
It took more than an hour to discuss these details.
Finally, Commander Qi asked the ghost servant to bring out six sets of ghost armor and ghost swords.
Xu Zhenfeng and his men put on ghost armor, held ghost swords, and instantly began to exude ghostly aura.
They quickly said goodbye to Commander Qi and left.
Under the leadership of Lian Wu and the almost broken old ghost Qin, they headed towards the north city of Eternal Night City.
