Chapter 272 The Three Palace Killers Gather
Xu Yang carefully put the ghost wood waist pendant into his arms, put it close to his body, and thanked him again with a fist.
Venerable Youfeng looked at Xu Yang carefully, nodded slightly, and showed satisfaction. Then he said: "I can take you down the mountain safely, but I have something to ask of you."
"Venerable Sir, just say it. I will do my best to help you if time permits." Xu Yang responded immediately after hearing it.
"I will tell you about this matter first. It's up to you whether you agree or not."
"I am all ears."
"In the previous heavenly tribulation, I received the "Iron Scroll of the Underworld Emperor" sent by the messenger ghost, which contained the decree of the Underworld Emperor.
The content of the story is that not long ago, an important fugitive in the Underworld sneaked into the "Forgotten Land". The three palaces of the Underworld sent people to capture him, but the task was not completed, which alarmed the Underworld Law Department. After the Underworld Law Department asked the Underworld Emperor for instructions, the Underworld Emperor issued an order to send the ghost generals of the Underworld to kill this person, and asked me to make preparations for the reception here.
One of the functions of the existence of Youfeng Mountain is to be the passage for the underworld to enter the Forgotten Land. The top of Youfeng Mountain is the closest place to the Black Sun in the sky in the entire Forgotten Land. The Black Sun in the sky is one of the incarnations of Lord Hades. Here, the energy of the Black Sun can be used to teleport the underworld personnel to the Forgotten Land as quickly as possible. "
When Xu Yang heard this, he immediately thought of the "Little Red Candle" he had met before. "Little Red Candle" had been hunted down by the assassins sent by the three palaces of the underworld, and he had also lent a hand. Now she is hiding in the "Forget Worry Valley". I don't know what the identity of this "Little Red Candle" is, and the Hades Emperor would actually intervene directly and must kill her.
"May I ask what you need me to do?"
"I don't know the identity of the prisoner, and his life or death has nothing to do with me. However, the prisoner is hiding in a place called "Forget Worry Valley". The Forget Worry Valley is located 500 miles south of Youfeng Mountain. There are many You people exiled from the Youjie, who live in seclusion there to avoid the Black Sun Curse. I hope you can go to Forget Worry Valley before the people from the Underworld come, tell the people in Forget Worry Valley the truth, and ask them to send the prisoner to another place to avoid getting burned. The first wave of immigrants in the "Forget Worry Valley" are all the people of Youfeng Waiter No. 1. I have an agreement with her that I will try my best to protect the safety of these people. But this time it is the will of the Underworld Emperor, and I can't intervene directly. I can only ask you outsiders who have nothing to do with the Underworld to help."
"I see, I am willing to do this." Xu Yang agreed immediately after hearing it. After all, Bai Mujin is still recovering in Forget Worry Valley. If the Underworld sends people to Forget Worry Valley, I am afraid that Bai Mujin's safety will also be threatened.
"It's just a letter delivery. We can help you with this." Guigu Changyang said on the side.
Guigu Zan didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. The white skeleton lying on his shoulder imitated its master and nodded in agreement.
"That's straightforward. This matter won't be done in vain. Stretch out your palms."
Xu Yang and the other two heard it and stretched out their palms obediently.
Venerable Youfeng raised his hand and threw out three phantoms. A golden storage bag appeared in the palms of the three people opposite.
"Each of your bags contains ten high-level demon crystals, which are what you call "Nine Nether Crystals". I know that the main purpose of your coming here for the trial is these things. Now you can have time to help me deliver the letter to Wangyou Valley."
The three put away the storage bags and thanked him repeatedly.
"Okay, without further ado, you should leave quickly. The Hades will be here soon."
After saying this, Venerable Youfeng waved his hand, and a dazzling golden light was cast. The golden light rolled and wrapped around the figures of Xu Yang, Guigu Zan and Guigu Changyang on the opposite side.
The next moment, the golden light spun in place, and with a hissing sound, it disappeared with Xu Yang and the other two.
After the three left, Venerable Youfeng looked at the devastated peak of Youfeng Mountain and whispered: "The last time the Hades Emperor sent people here was a hundred years ago. I don't know how much trouble it will cause this time. I hope that "Forget Worry Valley" can be safe."
Not long after, at an open space at the foot of Youfeng Mountain.
A ball of golden light suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the light converged, revealing the figures of Xu Yang, Guigu Zan and Guigu Changyang.
"According to the time, Drunkard Xiao and Boss Bai should have returned to Forget Worry Valley a long time ago. I wonder what the situation there is now?" Xu Yang said.
"Since we have promised Venerable Youfeng, let's go to Wangyou Valley together." Guigu Changyang said.
The white skeleton lying on Guigu Zan's shoulder nodded.
Xu Yang led the way in front, and the three figures quickly disappeared in the direction of Wangyou Valley.
...
On a higher hillside not far from Wangyou Valley, a man and a woman stood face to face, each carrying an ancient bronze sword of the same style behind them.
The man, wearing a blue brocade robe, was tall and had a tall hooked nose that showed a bit of masculinity.
The woman was wearing a blue brocade dress, with a beautiful face. The full curves on her chest further highlighted the smoothness and elasticity of the brocade fabric of the outer garment, and her beauty revealed a bit of nobility. Her long hair was tied behind her head like a flower bud, fixed with a purple wooden hairpin, and the whole person looked neat and tidy.
It was Luo Yu and Yin Feng, who were sent by Youji Palace, one of the three palaces in the Nether Realm, to hunt down "Little Red Candle".
"I didn't expect that there is such a valley hidden here. I am sure that the man is hiding in this valley." After saying that, Yin Feng stretched out his tall hooked nose and took a deep breath, as if he smelled a clue in the air.
"Xinghu and Xingbao have already contacted the two people from Youhuan Palace. This time, the six of us will join forces and will not allow any more failures." Luo Yu's expression was as calm as ever.
"According to the time, they should be here too." As he said this, Yin Feng raised his hand, and with a bang, the bronze ancient sword in the sword box behind him fell into his hand.
Then, the tip of the sword pointed in the direction of Wangyou Valley, and he said coldly: "This time, I must drink blood with the long sword in my hand."
He seemed to think that his sword-swinging action was very handsome, and turned his head to look at Luo Yu beside him. But he found that Luo Yu ignored him at all, but found a clean and smooth boulder, and sat cross-legged and breathed.
Seeing that Luo Yu did not speak, Yin Feng put the long sword back into the sword box behind him with boredom, and imitated Luo Yu's appearance, closing his eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, two golden tracks rolled towards here like meteors in the sky on one side of the place where the two were.
From far to near, it gradually became clear that they were two golden long swords about ten feet long.
On each of the long swords stood a person flying with the sword, his white clothes dancing, the sword body swaying with golden starlight, with extraordinary momentum. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the hillside where Luo Yu and Yin Feng were.
The people who came were two male cultivators, both wearing white robes embroidered with star patterns. One of them had a shallow scar on his left cheek, and the other had two black silkworm-like mustaches on his mouth. They were Xing Bao and Xing Hu, who had teamed up with Luo Yu and Yin Feng to hunt down "Little Red Candle".
Seeing Xing Bao and Xing Hu rushing back, Luo Yu and Yin Feng stood up and walked forward.
"You are back, have you contacted the two people in the Phantom Palace?" Yin Feng asked impatiently.
Xing Bao, who had a scar on his face, ignored Yin Feng's questioning, but walked close to Luo Yu and said with a smile: "Sister Luo Yu, why do I feel happy and all my worries are gone when I see you, my brother?"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Luo Yu replied coldly.
"You are such an ignorant fellow!" Yin Feng interrupted and stepped out to block the two of them. His eyes were like blades, looking at Xingbao opposite him.
Xingbao glanced at Yin Feng and frowned. The two stood very close, their eyes entangled, each unwilling to accept the result.
"Yin Feng, keep your ugly nose away from me. I, Xingbao, am not interested in men, especially men with big noses like you." Xingbao said.
Yin Feng has mastered a secret technique of finding smells and locating positions, and the skin on the tip of his nose will turn slightly red whenever he uses it.
"Hmph! Xingbao, you can't take advantage of Luo Yu while I'm here."
"Don't say it so harshly. Everyone loves beauty. A beauty like Luo Yu should be pursued by many men. Beauty goes with heroes. Maybe Luo Yu is interested in me too? I'm not like you. Luo Yu clearly doesn't like you, but she stays by my side every day. She really thinks of herself as a flower protector."
"What did you say?"
"Hey, stop arguing. This time we must work together to complete the task, otherwise no one can afford the punishment for failure." Xinghu, who had two black mustaches, explained quickly.
Yin Feng and Xinghu glanced at each other, turned around and took two steps back.
"Miss Luo, don't worry. Huansha and Huanli from the Phantom Palace will be here soon. When they were teleported to this forgotten land, something went wrong, causing the flying magic weapon they were riding to explode, which delayed them for a long time. Fortunately, the two were only slightly injured, and they will arrive soon. This time, with the combined strength of the six of us, we will definitely complete the mission successfully as scheduled."
"I hope so." Luo Yu replied lightly.
The four of them separated in pairs, without saying anything.
Luo Yu still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and Yin Feng stood beside Luo Yu with his hands on his shoulders.
Xinghu and Xingbao were whispering to each other on the other side, and Xingbao's eyes were stealing glances at Luo Yu from time to time.
"This beauty Luo is really drooling." Xingbao said.
"Of course, but she is a famous cold beauty in the three palaces of the Phantom Realm. I guess you don't have much chance. Let's prepare for the next task with all our heart, and be careful that you will be obsessed with lust." Xinghu said.
...
After about an incense stick of time.
There was a black fog rolling down the hillside where the four people were. The black fog was very powerful, but it did not raise a wisp of dust wherever it passed, and there were faint shadows of people in the black fog.
"They are coming." Xingbao said, looking down the hill.
Sure enough, the black fog receded, revealing two figures.
The two wore the same black robes with silver cross patterns embroidered on them, and each held the same black wooden stick in his hand.
Not only did they dress the same, but their figures and faces were exactly the same. They had bulbous noses, no flesh on their cheeks, and the same goatee under their cheeks. They looked like twins.
"They are up there."
"Let's go up."
After the two said that, their bodies turned into two black streams of light and ran straight up the hillside.
"Huansha, Huanli, you two are late." Xinghu said as he went up to meet them.
"You know the reason, so we brothers won't explain it. It seems that you should have suffered some losses." Huansha said.
"You four have been waiting for a long time. The best shows are always the finale. Let's brothers perform a good show together." said the other Huanli.
The two brothers looked at each other at the same time, with the same smug expression on their faces, as if they were the protagonists of the next show.
"Humph! If the current opponent is not a bit tricky, I really don't want to cooperate with these two arrogant people." Yin Feng thought to himself.
"Let's discuss the next countermeasures. The man is in the opposite valley." Xingbao suggested.
"Okay, okay." The two brothers answered in unison.
The six assassins sent by the three palaces of the Nether Realm gathered together, and a big battle will be staged in Wangyou Valley.
