Xie Ren said, “Did General Pei win, or did he lose?”

Pei Zhu said, “Won. Also lost.”

All of them died under Pei Ming’s sword, and many of them were his old friends who had been with him for more than ten years.

The sword “Bright Light”, which had always been used when fighting alongside these men, had now become the murder weapon to kill them.

At the end of the fight, when the winner and the loser were known, the Lord of Su Li, also logically, in the name of catching the rebels, ordered people to surround Pei Ming, who was bathed in blood and almost exhausted and could not move.

Although Pei Ming knew how to fight, he might not be able to win if the battlefield was not a real battlefield. He was clearly retreating from the enemy to save the emperor, but in the end, he got a “shoot on sight!”

Pei Ming was holding that clay pot, not that he didn’t hear what they were saying over there, he just didn’t have the time to care. He said, “I should have thought that it was your style.”

I think it is because Rong Guang’s grudge is attached to the broken sword stained with millions of people’s blood, and resonates with it, so that it can survive to this day. But the voice in the jar still said coldly: “Your hands and feet have all died long ago. I am just a sword.”

Xie Ren knew that he was afraid that he would not admit it now, so it was useless to ask, “That’s all, General Pei.”

Pei Ming nodded and returned the jar to Pei Su.

In this way, they have already subdued two tricky ghosts on their hands, ignoring the others, it’s a good start to the year. Xie Ren said, “General Pei and I are going to continue on to the Copper Furnace Mountain, what about you guys in Halfmoon? Going to look for Master Rainmaker?”

Pei Su, however, said, “Lord Rainmaker has long since chased after the demon that captured the farmers and went inside first. We are also on the same path when we go to look for it, and would like to assist the General and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go forward together.”

Pei Ming came back to his senses and frowned slightly, “Then let’s hurry up and get moving as well. The Rain Master Kingdom Lord is not a Martial God, yet he’s traveling faster than us, and we’re afraid of encountering danger on the road ahead.”

Thus, Xie Ren picked up Flower City, Half Moon collected the two jars, and the group hurriedly headed deeper into the dense forest.

As they were still in the outer layer of Copper Furnace Mountain, they didn’t even encounter any powerful characters on the way, mostly weeds, the crowd didn’t even have the interest to do it, they directly skipped it, there were ungrateful ones who took the initiative to come up and challenge them, but they were also scared off by Half Moon and Pei Su releasing snakes. In this way, after walking for a day, they finally left the forest and went deep into the second level of Copper Furnace Mountain.

To here, the forest gradually sparse, the road gradually wide, there are many traces of human habitation, Xie Ren even saw some dilapidated blackened small houses on the side of the road, in this isolated place is really too weird, can not help but ask: “How can someone live in the house?”

Both Halfmoon and Pei Zhu shook their heads in ignorance. Pei Ming also said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to ask His Excellency the Ghost King in your arms about this.”

Xie Ren was thinking that if Hua Cheng was awake, he would definitely be able to answer his question after asking just now, and glanced down. Although Hua Cheng’s abnormally hot body temperature was gradually subsiding, his eyes were still tightly closed, so he couldn’t help but feel worried.

Pei Ming reminded, “Your Royal Highness, right now we’re about to go deeper into the next layer, and the things we’ll encounter ahead will be even more powerful. Otherwise, let’s stop for a while and wait for Lord Flower City to wake up.”

At this moment, the crowd was on a wide fork in the road. One road led to the east, and one road led to the west. Xie Ren pondered briefly and said, “It’s late at night, let’s stay here for the night first.”

After running around for a day, it was time to take a rest and carefully give Flower City’s protector a boost. Halfmoon said, “Good, brother Pei Zhu is going to rest as well.”

It was only then that the crowd remembered that right now, Pei Zhu was in a mortal body and was in need of rest and food, yet he hadn’t said a word. Xie Ren’s spell yoke was in his body and was no exception, but he had completely forgotten about this because he was worried about Flower City.

A group of people immediately set up camp on this fork in the road. Half Moon made a fire, and Pei Suu hunted. Seeing everyone busy with their own business, Xie Ren stared at Hua Cheng’s face again. Not long after, his intuition made him jerk back, and sure enough, Pei Ming was looking at the two of them.

The two stared at each other for a while before Pei Ming gave a dry laugh and said, “Fine. I’ll go away.”

Xie Ren said, “No. It’s better not to.”

It’s not like he’s trying to do anything unseemly, so why is he talking as if he’s a thief!

At that moment, Halfmoon walked over holding a jar with food and said, “General Hua ……”

Xie Ren and Pei Ming both turned their heads. Xie Ren said, “What’s wrong?”

There was a terrified pheasant nestled in that black jar, tied up. Halfmoon showed them the jar and said, “Brother Pei Su hit it and asked me to do it, but, I won’t.”

After Pei Su finished hunting, he went ahead to explore the road and let the wind out. Pei Ming, however, as if she wasn’t very satisfied with how Halfmoon looked at her, justified herself by saying, “A girl’s family, fighting all day long, it’s not even a problem if she can’t dress up, why can’t she even cook?”

Xie Ren and Half Moon were both speechless. Half Moon was not a girl pampered from an ordinary family, she simply couldn’t understand Pei Ming’s aesthetics, and felt very puzzled and puzzled by his words. As for Xie Ren, she had pretty much figured out that Pei Ming was a man who was all over the place when it came to women and said, “Half Moon put it down, I’ll teach you.”

Half Moon was originally very convinced of him, so she was naturally happy to agree. One incense stick later. Xie Ren tugged at the colorful chicken feathers on the pheasant, Pei Ming lifted his own blood-stained palm and sighed, “General killing the chicken, Prince tugging at the feathers, it’s also a famous sight.”

Xie Ren watched him kill a chicken with his bare hands, killing it bloody, and said, “General Pei can’t you use a knife sword ah what? Be cleaner.”

Pei Ming said, “Yes?”

As soon as the words left their mouths, the two of them couldn’t help but look at the two jars placed aside on the ground. Rong Guang in the jars seemed to have sensed these two bizarre gazes, and the jars shivered with a vicious chill as he drank, ”Get lost! Roll as far away as possible! Beware that I’ll smear poison on the blade of my sword and poison you to death!”

The two hurriedly walked away. Walking to a place where the jar must not have been able to hear, Pei Ming shook his head and said to Xie Ren, “And still has to say it’s not. He’s always had this temper, it’d be weird if it wasn’t.”

Xie Ren also heard how Rong Guang scolded him, and long ago developed a subtle sympathy, saying, “Understand you. I have a cousin who is a bit like General Rong, more capable of cursing than him, but not as good at his job.”

Rong Guang could at least help Pei Ming fight a war, if Chi Rong was allowed to help Xie Ren fight a war, Xie Ren wouldn’t have been killed by the enemy first, but would definitely have to be pitted alive for Chi Rong first. Pei Ming seemed to imagine what a Rong Guang who could only curse and not fight would be like, and said from the bottom of his heart, “That’s really scary.”

Xie Ren threw the cleanly plucked pheasant back into the jar, filled it up with water, threw it on the fire and started cooking it, throwing in some wild fruits and herbs or something every now and then to season the flavor. Half Moon also followed his example, trying to stuff every suspiciously edible thing she could find into the jar. Pei Ming didn’t seem to understand what they were doing, but since he’d never been in the kitchen before, he didn’t really see any problems, and helped add some firewood, saying, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Pei Mou has always had a question that I wanted to ask you, but since I’m not familiar with it, it’s not good for me to open my mouth rashly.”

Not familiar is true. Previously, Xie Ren’s impression of Pei Ming was pretty much that of a womanizer with good hands and a bad heart, and he had even gone toe-to-toe a few times. Now that they had dealt with each other a few times, they had unconsciously changed their views slightly, and were somewhat familiar with each other, saying, “General Pei, please ask.”

Pei Ming said, “You’ve been relegated twice, with two curse shackles on you, and after your third ascension, it’s possible to ask the emperor to help you take them off. But why did you let it go without taking them off?”

Xie Ren watched as Halfmoon meditated for a while before brightly pulling out a few long, purplish-red scorpion-tailed snakes and placing them directly into the pot of soup that was boiling, and said with his usual expression, “Well then, General Pei, I have a question for you as well.”

Pei Ming said, “Please ask.”

Xie Ren said, “Why didn’t you refine a new sword to make treasure after you broke Ming Guang?”

Pei Ming raised the peak of her eyebrows and said, “What an unpleasant question.”

Xie Ren’s expression was the same as his, saying, “Same as each other.”

The two had only laughed twice when, suddenly, Pei Ming said, “I never thought that was anything beautiful.”

Xie Ren said, “I understand.”

He was about to speak when he heard a strange movement from behind him, and with a stirring in his heart, he turned around and said, “Sanlang?”

Sure enough, it was Hanagi sitting up!

Xie Ren was pleasantly surprised, and busied herself with going over to hold his shoulders, saying, ”Sanlang! You’ve woken up! You …… seem to have gotten bigger?”

Indeed, before, Hua Cheng looked like he was only in his early teens, but now he looked like he was thirteen or fourteen, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice changed from that of a child to that of a slightly sandy teenager, “Yes. Thank you brother for helping me relieve myself.”

Pei Ming said, “It’s really congratulatory.”

Xie Ren said: “There is nothing to thank, I ……” finished before noticing the word “relief”, the smile condensed, and thought: “Not the one I thought of. I don’t think that’s what it looks like, right?”

In the next moment, Hua Cheng grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, listen to me, there is something heading this way from the east right now. You have to avoid it for now!”

Xie Ren was stunned as the two of them looked to the east in unison, as if they had penetrated the infinite blackness of the night and saw a figure stalking through the darkness. Although Xie Ren did not sense anything, she still said, “Good! Let’s avoid it first.”

Pei Ming said, “Where to take shelter?”

This fork in the road only led to two roads, Xie Ren said, “West!”

Half Moon grabbed the clay pot that was cooking on the fire, looking like she was ready to take it with her, and said, “Brother Pei Su hasn’t come back yet!”

The words just fell, then saw the western side of that road hurriedly rushed to a black shadow, but it is the exploration of the Pei Su returned, said: ”General! Don’t take this road! A large number of demons and devils are coming this way!”

Flower City said, “How large a group?”

Seeing that he was the one who asked the question, Pei Zhu froze for a moment and said, “Judging by the ground vibrations, at least five hundred!”

As a Martial God, one wouldn’t consider “retreating” as a last resort. Pei Ming said, “Should we go west or east?”

Flower City said decisively, “West!”

Xie Ren also said, “West.”

For some reason, although there were many ghosts in the west and not even a single ghost shadow in the east, Xie Ren just intuitively believed that the west must be safer than the east. Without further ado, the group left in a hurry. Originally, Xie Ren has been prepared to encounter a wave on the road and then a killing spree, who knows, running out of six or seven miles, did not hear the slightest movement, could not help but wonder, asked: “General Pei, where and when did you hear that there are more than five hundred demons and ghosts are approaching?”

Pei Zhu said, “It was in this neighborhood. They were five or six miles away from me at the time, and they were extremely fast.”

Xie Ren said, “That’s very strange!”

Their group was running towards the west, while the five hundred demons and ghosts were running towards the east, all of them were very fast, so, they should have collided head-on very soon. Why did they not see a single ghost, not even the slightest movement?

Pei Ming said, “Little Pei won’t hear it wrong, did they return the same way?”

Pei Su said, “I think, it’s unlikely. Because, they run really extremely fast, sounds like in ……”

Flower City said, “Run for your life.”

Suddenly, Xie Ren stopped in his tracks. Not only him, the group all stopped. This was because, a field of corpses lay ahead, blocking their path.

These corpses, some people have livestock, thousands of strange and various, and there are souls that have been dispersed, with only a wisp of black smoke and ghost fire remaining in the air, the scene is poignant to the extreme. Xie Ren squatted to check for a moment and said, “It really is fleeing for its life, only …… not escaping.”

The first thing Pei Su did after spying them was to withdraw back to inform Xie Ren and the others. And not long after he withdrew, something came after him and wiped them out.

Flower City said, “It was a man who moved.”

Xie Ren nodded. If both sides were outnumbered, it would have been impossible to do it so cleanly, and the battle would not have ended so crisply.

Killing and destroying five hundred demons and devils in such a short period of time was undoubtedly stronger than the Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon, and it seemed that this was the key object they needed to focus on.

Halfmoon hugged the soup can and said, “Master Rainmaker wouldn’t have chosen this path, would he ……”

Pei Zhu said, “There is no need to worry, my lord has a protector mount.”

At this moment, Xie Ren heard a strange “click-click-click” sound coming from the ground not far in front of him, and went over to take a look, there was a skull whose upper and lower teeth were chattering, and that “click-click-click” sound was coming out from it. Seeing that someone has discovered himself, he said in horror: “Mercy, I will never come back, I want to go back, I want to go home!”

Xie Ren cupped it with both hands and said in a warm voice, “Don’t be afraid, we’re just passing through. Can you tell us what’s going on?”

That skeleton’s teeth were fighting while saying, “You guys, you guys passing by ah? Don’t go any further, there’s a very scary …… counting us, he’s already killed more than a thousand ghosts, but he’s not satisfied yet, he’s still going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on ……”

Over a thousand of them!

It was actually more than they had imagined. Xie Ren said, “Who are you talking about? Do you know what his name is? Or a nickname? Or what he looks like?”

Skeleton said, “No, I don’t know. I couldn’t see very well either, he didn’t even use a few strokes to kill us. I only vaguely saw that it was a man in black clothes, very young and pale ……”

Pei Ming said, “Sounds a bit tricky. Your Highness, City Lord Hua, are you sure that we should be heading west now, rather than east?”

The skeleton heard this, but screamed and said, “Going east is not an option either! Absolutely not!!!”

Xie Ren said, “And what happened to the east?”

That skeleton said, “We …… just don t dare to go to the east side of that road, so we chose the west side. Because the east side, there is a white clothed boy, in just one day, has killed more than two thousand ghosts, than the west side of this, more terrible ……”
