Shashi Town, a wing of Shamen Inn.
After Ye Fan took a bath and burned incense to cleanse his hands, he carefully took out an ancient yellow volume of Emperor Wu's suicide note and placed it on the table.
This volume of Emperor Wu's suicide note was of great importance, and he had to treat it with caution.
The king of a country is called the king. In addition to the king, the Canglan Kingdom also has three martial kings. Although these martial kings are not kings, they should be comparable to the status of the king.
The emperor of a dynasty is called an emperor. In addition to the Emperor Zixuan, the Zixuan Dynasty of the Dongzhou Human Race had many Martial Emperors. The status of these Martial Emperors was only lower than that of Emperor Zixuan, and their status was extremely respected.
The Martial Emperor is also the pinnacle of martial arts in the Shenwu Continent, and the last great realm before transcending the world and becoming a saint.
Once you become a saint, you can break through the stardust barrier in the starry sky of Shenwu Continent, enter the vaster starry sky, and become the holy god of countless faiths.
The Holy God is too far away for Ye Fan to imagine its power.
For him now, Emperor Wu is his most intense pursuit and expectation goal. Only by becoming a Martial Emperor and possessing powerful power can he repay Shang for his great help.
If he could understand the power contained in this Martial Emperor's suicide note, he would be able to touch a hint of the mystery of the Martial Emperor's realm.
"Shang, now tell me about this Emperor Wu's suicide note! What exactly is it?"
Ye Fan did not open the book of Emperor Wu, but asked Shang.
"This Emperor Wu's suicide note should be something left by a Emperor Wu ten thousand years ago, and bequeathed to future generations. The ghost prince must be a descendant of Emperor Wu, so he would be buried with this volume of Emperor Wu's suicide note. However, , there are many kinds of Emperor Wu's suicide note. It may be a family letter during his lifetime, instructing future generations to practice. It mainly records Emperor Wu's basic cultivation methods, which will not be too advanced, so that future generations can learn from them. It may also be a letter. A high-level martial arts book for understanding the martial arts, recording the Martial Emperor's highest understanding of his own Martial Emperor realm, and even a glimmer of understanding of the way of the Martial Saint. This high-level understanding is relatively profound, and it may be difficult for you to understand it for the time being."
Shang Jie said.
"So, if it's a basic cultivation method, then I can use it now. If it's a Taoist book from the Martial Emperor realm, I'm afraid it won't be of much use now?"
"Not bad! You have to open it and take a look to find out."
Ye Fan slowly opened the ancient yellow scroll.
Suddenly, a bright, strange and soft light of golden light appeared in Emperor Wu's suicide note, covering the writing on the scroll.
Ye Fan couldn't help but squinted his eyes, trying to see what was written on it, but it was blocked by the golden light and couldn't see what was recorded inside at all.
"Shang, can you see what is written on it?"
"This is a high-level Martial Emperor Dao Book, which records the understanding of the Martial Emperor's realm. The writing contains the powerful Martial Emperor's power. Low-level martial arts cultivators cannot read it at will, so the writing is obscured by the Martial Emperor's power! My strength has not yet been restored. , I can't see what's inside. If it's the Taoist Book of the Martial Saint, and if the Martial Saint doesn't want others to see it, even if I have enough strength, it will be difficult for me to see the content inside."
"Then I can't use it?"
"When you become Martial King, you will naturally be able to see the contents of this scroll, which will be of great benefit to breaking through to the Martial King realm. Although you cannot see it now, carrying it with you will still have many benefits."
...
Ye Fan had no choice but to put away the Martial Emperor Scroll and store it close to his body temporarily. As long as it is not opened, it is not much different from a volume of books.
In the next few days, Ye Fan and the three women have been practicing in the inn.
A large number of Martial Lords gathered in this sandstone town. Perhaps because the situation in the desert was unknown, they did not dare to enter the desert again and were all waiting. Waiting for Princess Xia Yang to personally lead the army to the desert to investigate the situation.
Some merchants also came after hearing the news and sold various mysterious weapons and elixirs in the town.
Ye Fan could barely leave town to buy blood pills for cultivation to increase his blood and blood concentration. He might as well practice here and get news about the desert.
Even if that ghost prince doesn't die, he won't be able to leave here with peace of mind.
Seven days later, a major news appeared in Shashi Town.
The lord of Xiayang County, Wuhou Han Baiqing, together with the other two Wuhous in the county, personally led an army of 200 warriors and 10,000 cavalrymen to the desert.
Perhaps because there was no accurate news about the desert, Princess Xia Yang did not take it lightly. She teamed up with two Wu Hous to prepare a large army and delayed their departure for a few days.
The appearance of this huge Xiayang County army shocked the martial arts cultivators in Shashi Town. The three Wuhous went to the desert together. Their strength was absolutely incomparable.
Many Martial Lords were overjoyed and set off with the army to investigate the situation in the desert.
Due to the large number of people, this army did not stop at the Sandstone Town. It just passed through this town, joined many adventurers, and went directly into the desert.
Even Ye Fan and the three women felt that this was a must-win battle.
After all, they are three human Wuhou from Xiayang County. Even if they meet a ghost prince, it will be three against one, and the chance of winning is very high.
Ye Fan and others stayed in Shashi Town and continued to wait for news.
Ten days later, an even more shocking news shocked everyone in Shashi Town.
"Failed!"
"A hundred thousand urgent military information! Report to the king of Canglan Kingdom immediately! The ghost tribe has planted an ambush in our territory of Canglan Kingdom!"
A military guard from the county government, covered in blood and with a miserable face, galloped out of the desert on horseback and arrived at Shashi Town. He was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, yelling, and fell off his horse.
Many martial arts cultivators in Shashi Town surrounded him, rescued him, and hurriedly asked about the situation in the desert.
Soon, everyone learned about the latest war situation in the desert.
Wu Hou Han Baiqing, the princess of Xiayang County, and two Wu Hous arrived at the Grand Canyon Oasis smoothly. They did not encounter any strong enemies. They underestimated the enemy and led the crowd into the ancient underground palace. As a result, they encountered a terrifying ghost prince.
The three Wu Hous joined forces and were still defeated by Gui Hou.
The Princess of Xia Yang, Han Boqing, was seriously injured. One Wuhou died in the battle, while the other Wuhou protected the Princess and fled in panic. However, he was chased by the ghost prince, and his life and death were unknown.
Three to four thousand ghost kings and ghost soldiers rushed out from the underground palace. The tens of thousands of troops in Xiayang County suddenly collapsed, and ghosts cried and wolves howled.
A great defeat!
All the martial masters and warriors fled desperately from the Grand Canyon, and were chased and killed by a large group of ghost soldiers. It was terrible to watch.
It is estimated that less than one-tenth of the people escaped, and the rest died on the way to escape in the desert.
In the middle of this vast desert that spans thousands of miles, the ghost tribe has a powerful army of thousands of ghost soldiers.
Thousands of people in Shashi Town were shocked by the news.
The ghost tribe actually formed an army of thousands in the desert under the eyes of the Canglan Kingdom human tribe. How was this done? ! Moreover, there was an extremely terrifying Ghost Lord, who actually killed Princess Xia Yang and fled with one against three.
This news quickly spread from Shashi Town to Xiayang County, and even urgently reported to the capital of Canglan Kingdom to report the enemy situation to the monarch.
Even Princess Xia Yang was defeated and fled, and her life and death were unknown. This was no longer something that one county could solve.
The monarch must dispatch a powerful Wuhou to suppress this ghost army.
"How could this be? Why is that Ghost Lord so terrifying!"
Ye Fan was also shocked by the news.
He is not Wuhou, so he cannot understand how powerful Guihou is. At that time, I only managed to escape from the desert by running fast.
The three girls Mu Bing, Qin Yuer and Cao Youwen were also speechless and secretly said they were lucky.
At that time, if Ye Fan had not used "Air Breaking Flash" to escape thirty miles away from the canyon in the blink of an eye, and then deployed "Blood Wings" to fly out of the desert at the speed of half a Wuhou, the four of them might not have been able to escape.
"Among the Wuhous, there are also Wuhous with powerful fighting abilities and Wuhous with ordinary combat abilities. It is not a problem for a powerful Wuhouqi to fight against a dozen low-level Wuhouqi alone. It is estimated that this ghost prince was also a very powerful and ruthless character during his lifetime. Even after death, he turns into a ghost lord and is still so powerful!"
Mu Bing analyzed.
"That's definitely the case. Even Princess Xia Yang was defeated. One was killed, one was injured, and the other escaped. That ghost lord's combat power is absolutely terrifying. Fortunately, we escaped quickly!"
"This ghost lord is so powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy him!"
Qin Yuer and Cao Youwen also said.
Ye Fan knew more in his heart. The Ghost Lord was indeed very powerful. But the "ghost world" descended by the Ghost Saint is probably the real thorn in the side of Canglan Country.
The dim light of this "ghost world" envelopes the entire underground palace, which is equivalent to creating a ghost city in the Xiayang Desert.
Once human warriors and warriors die in battle, their corpses can be directly turned into ghost soldiers in the underground palace, resulting in an endless supply of ghost soldiers. The ability of this underground palace to birth ghost soldiers is simply more powerful than a giant human city.
The ghost soldiers in the underground palace will gather thousands of people again in just a few days. It must be that Ye Meijing and many Sanwu Zun went to the underground palace a few days ago and were massacred. These numerous corpses were carried into the underground palace by the ghost soldiers and transformed by Youguang.
And Princess Han Baiqing of Xia Yang led tens of thousands of troops to the Grand Canyon, and more than 90% of them were killed. I am afraid that these will also become ghost soldiers, causing the number of ghost soldiers in the underground palace to increase dramatically.
"Shang, do you think the Ghost Lord will attack the towns around the desert?"
Ye Fan was a little worried.
"It's hard to say... I guess the possibility is low. The center of the great desert is about 1,500 miles away from the surrounding towns, which means that it has to be far away from its nest and away from the protection of the 'ghost world'. In the ghost world Under the protection of the ghost world, its combat effectiveness can be displayed beyond normal, and its strength will slowly increase. If it is far away from the 'ghost world', it will be weakened by the scorching sun and can only exert 80% to 90% of its combat effectiveness.
And according to all the current news. The human race went to the desert to fight against the ghost soldiers, and there was no news of attacks from the ghost tribe anywhere. This desert is a big obstacle to the human race, and it is also a huge obstacle to the ghost race.
Even if ordinary low-level ghost soldiers come out of the underground palace, they can only appear in the desert at night. If they stay in the unsheltered desert for less than two hours during the day, they will get sunburned and die.
Therefore, I guess there is a 90% chance that it will always stay in the underground palace lair in the canyon. As for other low-level ghost soldiers, they are not strong enough to cross this vast desert. "
Shang said lightly.
It only said that there is a 90% possibility, and the other 10% is that the ghost prince is completely angered and may leave the desert after losing all reason.
...
As a large number of defeated and fleeing warriors and warriors escaped from the desert, the news of that battle became increasingly clear.
After receiving the news that Princess Xia Yang was defeated and a large group of ghosts gathered in the desert, many cities and towns around the desert fell into panic.
Many casual martial arts cultivators have fled, while some large families are migrating and hiding further away.
They didn't know that the possibility of Guihou coming out of the desert was extremely low.
Ye Fan knew this very well, so he and his three daughters still stayed in Shashi Town with peace of mind, practicing while waiting for further news.
Three days later, Princess Han Baiqing of Xiayang County, who was seriously injured but finally escaped with her life, returned to the princess mansion and urgently issued a "recruitment order" to all the cities and towns in Xiayang County:
The ghost tribe's invasion of our Xiayang County is unbearable. This princess has submitted a request to the king to conquer the ghost clan in the underground palace. All martial masters and warriors in the county are ordered to wait for orders. Once the battle situation requires it, all martial arts cultivators must obey the call-up order and follow them to fight.
The conscription order did not specify who would lead the troops to fight and when.
But everyone knew that it would definitely not be the Princess Xia Yang who suffered a huge defeat and was seriously injured. The next battle will probably be between strong men sent by the monarch.
