Chapter 9317: Help the enemy 4
"The key is the King of Hell." Leng Xuan said, "Once the King of Hell's army arrives and the two sides attack, Zhuoyang City will be difficult to defend. If the ghost king does not take action, the dead city will be in jeopardy."
"What should we do now? Go directly to the dead city to find the ghost king, or go to Zhuoyang City to help them defend the city?"
"The king of Yan and Xue Jiu have joined forces, and there is little hope that Zhuoyang City can be held. Even if we go, we may not be able to help. Besides, our name is not right now. If we go to Zhuoyang City, the other party will not only be able to help. They will not believe us and will treat us as enemies."
"Since that's the case, let's go directly to the dead city."
Dead City is the base camp of the Ghost King, not far from Zhuoyang City. Even from Ruilan City, it only takes less than half a day. When the two arrived at the dead city, Leng Xuan found that the atmosphere of the dead city was the same as before, and there was no tense atmosphere because of the upcoming war, and everything was the same as usual. This strange calm made Leng Xuan very strange.
After informed the guards at the gate of the city, a man walked out of the city not long after. "It turned out to be Brother Leng, we met again."
Seeing the person coming, Leng Xuan said indifferently, "Master You."
You Ziqian didn't care about Leng Xuan's indifference, smiled and said, "Brother Leng, I'm really sorry to be in Mausoleum City last time, but let's be our masters, please forgive me."
"The past is over, and I don't want to delve into it. I came here this time to ask the ghost king for business. Would he be willing to see us?"
"Of course. You two, please come with me!"
Under the leadership of You Ziqian, Leng Xuan and Zhang Yu successfully entered the dead city. Along the way, the three of them were speechless and went straight to the Ghost King's Palace. "My master is waiting for the arrival of the two of you in the hall, please come in."
Leng Xuan nodded and walked into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Leng Xuan immediately discovered that this Ghost King's Hall was extremely dark. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldn't see everything around him clearly through his eyes, let alone the Ghost King.
"Leng Xuan, Zhang Yu, welcome the two of you to the Dead City." At this moment, a low and hoarse voice sounded slowly in the hall.
"The hall of Lord Ghost King is quite unique." Leng Xuan said.
"I built this hall with special materials that can absorb all light."
"Adults don't like seeing light?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I can think better in the dark." After a pause, the ghost king changed the subject and said, "Leng Xuan, tell me your purpose."
"Did you know that you are facing great trouble right now?"
"You mean Hades and that little girl from the fairyland?"
"Yes, not long ago, the city of Ruilan was captured, presumably the lord has already received the news."
"Indeed, but I want to know, what does this have to do with you?"
"I want to help."
"Help?" In the darkness, the ghost king suddenly laughed, "Leng Xuan, you seem to have forgotten your position. When you were in Mausoleum City, you and I were still enemies, so why do you want to help me now?"
"I know you don't believe me, but I do want to help you resist the attack of the King of Hell. There are naturally reasons for me to do this, but it is not convenient for me to explain. In a word, if you are defeated by the King of Hell, whether it is for you or It's not good for me. As the saying goes, both sides benefit, adults are smart people and should know how to choose."
