However, as he walked further and further, he couldn't help but be speechless. He had thought that the underground palace would be a very powerful place, but he had never thought that it would be so big, with so many guards, even the underground palace would be so grand and majestic. The four city gates of north, south, west and north were completely built according to the style of the ancient times.
Immortal Zhou estimated that the strength of this underground palace was definitely not less than the strength of an entire dynasty.
No wonder they had the ability to fight the entire modern world!
However, the fact that these strange corpses were so rampant must have something to do with the puppet general that Bai Mu and the others were talking about!
However, given his power, it would be best for him to avoid the golem general.
"Hmm?" Immortal Zhou let out a light snort and quickly circulated his spiritual energy to resist. He was very puzzled as to why his resentment suddenly increased. Raising his head to look ahead, what he saw was actually a huge underground palace.
Within the palace, countless ghosts were entering and exiting the palace as if they were alive. They were contributing their labor to the construction of the palace.
Although the palace had yet to be completed, it was no less than the size of a county city.
From the looks of it, this palace had been built a long time ago.
When he saw the impenetrable membrane behind him, Immortal Zhou raised his white eyebrows, "No wonder the resentment suddenly increased. Once I arrived at this place, I entered the isolation zone, and this isolation zone just happened to break down a portion of the resentment."
"This is bad!" Immortal Zhou's expression changed. He hurriedly left the isolation area and found a concealed area. He stuck a piece of talisman paper onto it. He felt worried and stuck a concealed movement technique on it.
Because this almost transparent membrane not only could break down a portion of the ghosts' resentment, but it could also sense different auras from different outsiders, so after discovering this, Immortal Zhou used the fastest speed to leave the place.
Sure enough, the moment that Immortal Zhou left that place, a few people with halberds walked over. It seemed like they were in charge.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" An eight foot tall burly man wearing an armor asked the soldier that was following behind him.
"Reporting to the captain, there's no mistake. Just now, we saw an old man appear here through the display screen. "He's not here right now. He must have found something and left!"
The person called "Captain" gripped his halberd tightly and stabbed it towards the ground. Only then did he gruffly say, "Next time you discover this situation, you must take measures quickly. You don't have to report to me first. "Master said that no mistakes should be made in the matters of the palace. If anything goes wrong, our squad will probably lose their lives."
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Although it was just a small soldier, he didn't show any signs of subservience because of his humble title. It seemed that these people were quite different.
Immortal Zhou said with a sigh. Luckily, he had been able to escape just now; otherwise, he would have been exposed.
Looking at the palace that could only be built after who knows how long, Immortal Zhou was truly puzzled. This underground palace was already huge enough, so why did they need to build a huge palace so far away from the underground palace? Could it be that the owner of the underground palace was going to use it?
But there was no need? At such a distance, only ghosts would come!
It was originally a joke, but it made Immortal Zhou turn serious. "Could it really be a joke?" Other than the Underworld, there is nothing else that can drive the ghosts in the Underworld. "
When he thought of this, Immortal Zhou looked at the ghosts that were in the process of constructing the palace. The ghosts that were building the palace were at least a few hundred years old, and their cultivations were exactly what Immortal Zhou desired. If he could obtain them, then coupled with the Snow Muscle Bottle, he would definitely be able to train in the army of ghosts.
But behind this ghost?
The Underworld's words definitely wouldn't let these ghosts directly build a temporary palace. After all, the Underworld was originally the final resting place for ghosts and was a place for them to retreat to, so how could they treat it as labour? The only possibility was that the masters of the Underworld had a deal with the Underworld …
If so?
An enigmatic smile appeared on Immortal Zhou's face. "If that's the case, then they probably won't dare to pursue this matter any further by secretly getting rid of a portion of the ghosts!"
With that in mind, Immortal Zhou stealthily hid himself here, waiting for the ghosts to be brought back to his lair.
"No wonder humans like them can control these ghosts!" Looking at the ghosts staring at the willow iron chain in the soldiers' hands, that metal chain was not made of ordinary material. If one were to investigate it deeply, Immortal Zhou would not have seen it before, but Immortal Zhou could feel that it came from the Underworld.
However, how could a small piece of land like his have so much to do with it? The Underworld has ways to hide things from the heavens and the seas, so they naturally have ways to deal with those so-called clowns. Isn't that whatever a good example of that?
As he thought of this, he quietly followed at the back of the group. He didn't know how long he had been walking for, but Immortal Zhou felt as though his head was about to go dizzy.
He raised his head and saw a burly man with a ghost aura. That thing was holding the Soulreaper Lock in his hand, no, it was not a Soulreaper Lock, although it looked like a Soulreaper Lock, but it had an even colder and colder aura than the Soulreaper Lock. The power of that thing was not limited to just using ghosts to train.
The underground palace is such a big deal!
However, what made Immortal Zhou sigh with emotion was the ghosts.
In the hands of the burly man, the ghosts that were useless to him were being flogged. As for the reason, before Immortal Zhou could understand it, the ghosts had already reached the mountain of bones.
"Xu Cheng, you said that you wouldn't bully these old men!" A white robed ghost that seemed to have some power walked over and shouted loudly.
"Those who are disobedient will naturally be punished. Besides, these things have already become ghosts. They don't even distinguish between elders and children. Mo Xin, right? You've been a ghost for so long, don't you know?"
"You!" Mo Xin choked and was speechless. However, when he saw his elders being treated in such a way, his temper rose. He was about to teach this loathsome looking person a lesson, but he was stopped by the uncle lying on the ground. Shaking his head to indicate that he should not be impulsive!
Xu Cheng glanced at Mo Xin and said, "Don't think that you have much ability. Last time, you were still in my hands. However, I have yet to settle the score with you and Bai Mu when it comes to the matter of the Nine Nether Maze City. I saw that you have such a good physique that you were easily devoured by my Soul Absorbing Lock. "Hahaha ~"
Xu Cheng laughed complacently. All the ghosts that heard his name couldn't help but sob softly. They believed that Xu Cheng was someone who could do what he said, but they didn't have the ability to resist.
Even if they gathered everyone's power, it was only because every single one of them had a restriction placed on their bodies. In the underground palace, if one did not use their full strength, they could not even take half a step into the main hall.
Therefore, they could only stay here and receive high-intensity labor activities every day. After they returned from the construction of the palace, they would also receive the punishment from this cruel ghost. As for those that he couldn't stand, he directly used it to feed the Soul Absorbing Lock.
Even though he was feeling stifled, he was powerless in such a situation.
"Alright, where's the person in charge?" Xu Cheng shouted at the ghost.
"Xu shi, your subordinate is here!" The leader of the group with the halberd stood forward and answered respectfully.
"Remember, this person in the future will be three times stronger than others! With such a good physique, we can't let it go to waste. "
"Yes, I understand."
"Remember, do not be killed by this lord. Otherwise, you would have to sacrifice my master's Soul Absorbing Lock. "
The words that came out with a smile that was not a smile caused those people to shudder. With that, Xu Cheng floated away. The disciples left behind those who were glaring at Xu Cheng's back.
"Alright, hurry up and go back to rest. The construction will start in a few hours. This time, regardless of gender or age, everyone will have to go. Since the palace is being built earlier, it's best if all of you are in high spirits!" After saying that, he swung the chain in his hand and struck towards those ghosts that were walking at a slow pace.
Some ghosts' soul bodies were already unstable from the destruction, so under this chain attack, the weak souls were shaken until they became floating and almost transparent.
Some of the souls immediately vanished.
However, none of the managers were moved by this.
After all, it was very normal for them to lose more than ten souls every day or every hour. Thus, they did not pay attention to it at all. This, of course, gave Immortal Zhou a chance to fish in troubled waters.
As long as he stayed among these ghosts for a few more days, he would be able to kidnap over a thousand souls without leaving a trace. In any case, they couldn't count the number of souls here, so they wouldn't be able to detect the loss of a small portion.
With this thought, Immortal Zhou, who had hidden himself, snuck into the middle of the ghosts and entered the mountain of white bones with them.
