Chapter 6: The Single Person's Adventure in the Palace

Twenty-four Ghost Soldiers

"You are right, Xiao San. Since we are going against the heavens, we cannot be timid."

Are you trying to throw your life away?

Xiao Wu unexpectedly collected all three-headed ghost servants into the Mud Pill Palace before entering the Hall of Hundred Ghosts, and ventured into the hall alone

Why

The elite ghost soldiers charged into the Hall of a Hundred Ghosts from the rear, leaping out from behind Xiao Wu. They impaled two ghost soldiers on Xiao Wu's left side and crashed into another ghost soldier, slicing through the bodies of five ghost soldiers with the opening and closing of their sword and shield, significantly alleviating the pressure on Xiao Wu

In seven days, you will either be expelled from the outer wall or successfully enter the inner gate. By then, the promotion process in the hundred-person pit underground will no longer respond to you. Not only will you be unable to obtain the ghost soldiers, but the promotion rewards will also be beyond your reach

The mistress answered self-importantly, "Moreover, as far as I know, at the end of the Hundred People Pit underground palace, there is a reward for promotion to the inner sect beneath that stone chair. After all these years, the elders and disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect should have completely forgotten about this matter."

Activating the ghostly form will not attract the attention of the spirits. Xiao Wu gazed from a distance and saw rows of ghost soldiers armed with crossbows and blades, maintaining the strict military discipline they had in life. They patrolled in a crisscross manner, equipped for both ranged and close combat. However, the main hall had only one entrance. Once one entered the line of sight of the Hall of a Hundred Ghosts, it would immediately trigger a coordinated movement of all the spirits.

Whoosh, whoosh

Too strong

Despite losing seven ghost soldiers in one breath, the ghostly warrior remained seated on the stone chair, one hand propping up his chin, as if watching two ants perform

The ghostly warrior indeed remained unperturbed, and Xiao Wu felt a slight sense of relief in her heart

Despite the ghostly warrior casting a pair of ghostly eyes over.

However, as the mistress said, the latter sat upright on the stone chair, neither moving nor issuing commands to the multitude of ghosts

Once you advance to become an inner disciple, you will forever lose this opportunity

The ghostly figure bore not a trace of the living's essence, and in the blink of an eye, it failed to arouse the slightest suspicion among any of the spirits.

Speaking of the deceased

It was a ghostly figure over two meters tall, entirely shrouded in a deep, dark aura, resembling a black bear lurking in the shadows. Beside the stone chair lay a massive broadsword with a ring-shaped hilt. Just a distant glance at it instilled a sense of oppression, as if facing the core disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Gate, with a stark difference in realms.

Xiao San's words suddenly stirred a flicker of emotion in Xiao Wu

To obtain the promotion rewards left by the Ghost Warriors and the first generation, there is only this last opportunity

The gaze continuously roamed within the Great Hall of the Hundred Demons, and finally, at the innermost part of the hall, it inadvertently caught sight of the demon warrior seated majestically on a massive stone chair

As they advanced towards the vicinity of the Hall of the Hundred Demons, three knife-and-shield ghost soldiers, shrouded in thick, swirling yin energy, appeared beside Xiao Wu

This part of the memory should be correct

Xiao Wu felt an increased sense of vigilance in her heart

Moreover, and more importantly, after this full moon night has passed, one must wait until next month to enter the underground palace again

The Hall of the Hundred Demons, where the cold wind howls, is filled with the alternating sounds of ghostly laughter.

Kill

The first round of attacks from the crossbow-wielding demon soldiers has arrived

When the phosphorescent powder comes into contact with the ghostly body, it immediately erupts with lethal high temperatures

That is to say

The two ghostly soldiers trembled, their ghostly forms rapidly disintegrating, as if they were sandbags that had burst open, with the power of their souls pouring out frantically, emitting a mournful wail of the dead.

Directly pounced towards the nearest column of ghost soldiers on patrol

Xiao Wu苦笑着对小三说，"Just a ghost warrior, and I can't handle it."

Three ordinary knife-shield ghost soldiers are likely to be shattered into pieces after just one round of crossbow bolts

The pressure comes rushing in

Xiao Wu quickly dodged

Are you sure

Your ghost servant

The promotion assessment process has been initiated

"Just like your enemy, Shangguan Yunfei, if you do not become stronger, your enemy will only grow stronger... You cannot resist Shangguan Yunfei, so you will become his puppet ghost servant"

Stop being so indecisive. The path of cultivation is inherently against the natural order. If you are afraid to face even a mere ghostly warrior in a hundred-person pit, how can you possibly cultivate?

To conquer the Hundred Demons Hall of the Hundred-Person Pit Dungeon, not only is the support of more companions required, but each individual's strength must also be formidable, and they must work in perfect harmony; otherwise... a single misstep could lead to a fate of death and the loss of one's soul.

The tone of the mistress became more assertive

Xiao Wu remained silent

I am currently not clear about matters related to the inner door, but it should be fine

All those who act against the natural order will not meet a good end, for cultivators who defy the heavens go against divine will and resist fate... Once you enter this circle, you are caught in a vortex, unable to escape. If you do not fight back, you will be ground to dust by the whirlpool of destiny, leaving no trace of your remains

The mistress could not help but urge a lecture

Xiao Wu was filled with countless hesitations upon hearing this

The remaining ghost soldiers and ghost servants, having not sensed the presence of the living and lacking orders from the ghost commanders, remained oblivious to the battle at the entrance, with only the two nearby squads of ghost soldiers rushing forward.

Words of warning, yet they contain profound truths

In an instant, the mist had already approached close to the vicinity of the ghost soldier patrol.

Xiao Wu furrowed her brows

Not acceptable

Xiao Wuxin's mind was greatly shaken, and her gaze was resolute

This memory of the mistress is in a state of sealed absence, unable to be answered.

The battle here did not provoke a riot among all the spirits in the Hall of One Hundred Demons

Those disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect who perished in the underground palace transformed into spirit ghosts after death, or more precisely, into half-spirit ghosts, whose level of danger is by no means inferior to that of ghost warriors

Without waiting for the response from the third party, Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and charged into the Hall of One Hundred Ghosts

Ah!

Rest assured, this underground palace was established by the Hundred Ghosts Gate for the training of external disciples. As long as you enter alone, it will trigger the formal promotion process. It will not pay any attention to you until you actively attack the ghost warriors

The mistress finally came to her senses

Just a reminder, allowing Xiao Wu to ponder it himself

Just as it was said, it happened swiftly

This is also the reason why he never summons the ghost servant

Charge

At such times, the use of the "Yin Soul Chain" must be absolutely avoided; once the breath of a living person is leaked, it will immediately attract the siege of all the spirits in the great hall

Oh!

The mistress is not wrong.

Over the past three years, dozens of disciples have fallen in various hundred-person pits and underground palaces, becoming specters driven by ghostly forces.

What is that

A volley of arrows fell, annihilating the first squad of ghost soldiers

Defeating the hundred-person pit dungeon's ghost warriors not only grants you ghost servants with ghost warrior qualifications, but also rewards established during the first generation for outer disciples advancing to the inner sect.

The mistress was taken aback

Rushing into the space of about ten feet, the nearest ghost soldier finally sensed that something was amiss. Its pair of ghostly eyes turned fierce and menacing, exhaling a foul aura from its mouth and nose, and it viciously turned its head to lock onto the target

As long as the ghost warriors remain inactive, the danger significantly decreases

How wonderful it is now

Xiao Wu remained unmoved

At almost the same time, the elite ghost soldiers moved away from their original positions, avoiding a portion of the crossbow bolts while utilizing other ghost soldiers to absorb the damage from the shadow soul crossbow bolts

When the ghost soldiers realized that Xiao Wu was not one of their kind, the lightless black sword had already swiftly cut through the bodies of two ghost soldiers

There are too many ghost servants to take care of, and it is certainly impossible to attend to them all—perhaps a single volley of arrows could incapacitate them.

I will come back after a while
