Those ghosts immediately retreated to the Yinhun Stream, not daring to take action against them again.
But in the Yinhun Stream, the wails of the ghosts were heard one after another, ringing endlessly.
"Hold on!"
Ye Liuyun stopped and wanted to use the Buddha's light to shine into Wu Ming.
He could hear what these ghosts were shouting, so he was a little curious.
So he asked Wu Ming to wait before taking action.
And he walked to the Yinhun Stream and suddenly let go of his lord of the underworld aura.
The pressure of the underworld instantly enveloped the entire Yinhun Stream.
Then he walked directly in.
Wuming and others immediately followed him, fearing that they would be left behind if they were too far away from him.
Wherever Ye Liuyun passed, ghosts retreated one after another, and no one dared to step forward, let alone attack.
"Who has the final say here?"
After Ye Liuyun entered the mountain stream, he also asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a martial artist dressed as a guard came out of the ghost and saluted him.
"Lord Hades!"
"Why don't you enter the underworld and instead cause trouble to the people here?"
Ye Liuyun asked directly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the wails of those ghostly spirits began to appear again.
"That's enough, tell them one by one! You come first!"
Ye Liuyun shouted coldly, immediately calming down the ghosts.
He asked the guard Yinhun on the ground to speak first.
Then he randomly asked a few ghosts and basically knew the answer.
This Yinhun Stream originally had another name. The scenery was originally beautiful. Because there were peach blossoms all over the valley, it was called Peach Blossom Stream.
But since the current city lord Ma Yuanliang took office, this place has become a place where murders and corpses are buried.
On the surface, Ma Yuanliang is kind and fair, but secretly he has a different face, bullying men and dominating women, and doing all kinds of evil.
Anyone who blocks his way or is slightly dissatisfied with him will be secretly eliminated.
Gradually, more and more people were killed, and they all gathered here, causing these ghosts to gather here and never disperse.
The guard Yinghun knew Ma Yuanliang better and told all his crazy deeds one by one.
In the end, all the ghosts knelt down and cried, begging Ye Liuyun to give them a chance to take revenge.
They had been gathering here for many years, and they had just gained some strength and were preparing to break into the city lord's palace. Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun and the others came.
When Ning Shuangyu saw this, she sighed: "I really can't tell. The elder talked to us so kindly, and everything was normal when doing transactions!"
"The elder is the city lord's confidant! They won't pay you, and they will find various reasons to delay it later.
If we can't drag you through, we will kill you. We have the same ghosts here." The guarding ghosts explained.
It's not that Ning Shuangyu doesn't believe them. These people are obviously not so tightly organized, and there are so many of them, it's impossible for them all to lie together.
However, for the sake of safety, Ye Liuyun still made some agreements with these ghosts.
"You have been inactive for ten days. I will go back and report to the city lord's palace, saying that I have wiped out you. Let's see if Ma Yuanliang will pay the full reward.
Anyway, you don’t need these ten days, just recharge your batteries. After ten days, if Ma Yuanliang is as unbearable as you say, I will give you a chance to take revenge with your own hands, how about it?"
The ghosts all looked at each other and finally agreed.
"Okay! We won't make a sound or show our presence for ten days."
As the guard leader said this, he also took the ghosts and hid them in the mountains and rocks, without any chance of living anymore.
Later, Ye Liuyun and the others also returned from the Yinhun Stream and returned to the city lord's mansion to resume their lives.
The elders who had received them before were still very polite and were very surprised to see them come back so soon.
It was even more incredible to hear them say that they had killed all the ghosts.
So he asked Ye Liuyun and the others to stay while he arranged for people to go to Yinhunjian for inspection.
"As soon as we confirm, all the rewards will be paid immediately, so don't worry!" the elder said very sincerely.
Ye Liuyun and the others didn't bother to tell the truth from the false, so they went directly to the inn to wait.
After waiting for three days, there was no movement. So they went to the city lord's mansion again.
"Oh, look at this old fool like me, I have completely forgotten all your matters. The result of Yinhunjian has been confirmed. How many more banquets does our city lord have to entertain?
A few of them happened to be here, so today is the day! Please come in!" He also greeted Ye Liuyun and others very warmly.
"There's no need to hold a banquet, it's a trivial matter. We just take the money to do things, so you don't have to be polite. We'll leave after we collect the money!"
Ye Liuyun refused directly.
"Even if I don't eat, then I have to inform the city lord and ask him to pay you! It's all a matter of convenience, so don't delay it.
Please come quickly, I will invite the city lord right away!" The old man once again enthusiastically invited them into the city lord's mansion.
"Hongmen Banquet!" Ning Shuangyu sensed danger as soon as she entered the city lord's mansion.
"I'll teach you a skill, maybe you can use it!" Ye Liuyun said, passing the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra to Ning Shuangyu.
They also heard from those ghosts that the city lord had many ways of harming people, and poisoning was one of them.
Since you have to eat, try to take precautions as much as possible.
After Ning Shuangyu understood the technique, she also waited for the city lord to poison her so that she could practice the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra.
The elder also asked them to settle down in the banquet hall first, and then went to find the city lord to arrange a banquet.
There are many formations in the city lord's palace to prevent detection. After he entered other inner courtyards, Ye Liuyun could not detect where he went.
After a while, a maid came to serve tea and wine.
The elder also came out to say hello to Ye Liuyun and the others: "The city lord is discussing things with someone and may have to arrive later.
He will present the reward as soon as he arrives. After toasting you with a few drinks, you can leave. You don’t have to wait for him, you can eat first!”
After he finished speaking, he didn't stay too long, took his leave and left.
Then the maids began to serve the food and pour wine for them. If Wuming didn't drink, the maids would pour them tea.
It's just that the expressions of the maids are very cold, and they can't see the joy of entertaining guests.
As long as they didn't speak, the banquet hall was silent, and the maids also served them wine and dishes in silence.
In the name of his low status, Qi Yue sat in the back without eating or drinking, and closed his eyes to rest.
Ignorance does not eat non-vegetarian food, does not drink alcohol, does not even drink tea, and meditates on the spot.
Ye Liuyun and Ning Shuangyu ate the food without missing a beat, including wine, meat and vegetables.
Ye Liuyun's guess was correct. Everything they ate was poisonous, but the poisonous effects were slow and would not occur for a while.
"I'm almost full!"
Ning Shuangyu meant that there was too little poison in the food and wine, and he ate so much that a little source of poison was discovered.
"Then eat more, and you can go on your way after eating!" Ye Liuyun had no choice about this.
The poison they administered was too subtle, probably because they were afraid they would find out.
The elder came once during the trip and advised Wu Ming and Qi Yue to eat something too.
But both of them firmly refused, and the elder had no choice but to force him into the situation and could only think of other ways.
Chapter completed!
