True Immortal of the Netherworld

After an unknown amount of time, the two gradually entered the central area of ​​the inner city. Turning a corner, in front of a large house not far away, there were soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds standing on each side.

When Xu Yang saw this, he shrank back and hid behind the corner, holding his breath and concentrating. Black Cat Yetu continued to approach the soldiers.

"Meow!"

The two soldiers instinctively looked in the direction where the cat's meowing sound came from. The originally dark form of Black Cat Ye Tu had already melted into the surrounding dark night, and the two soldiers could only see a pair of green eyes reflecting light floating in the air not far from the ground. The moment they saw the green eyes, the two soldiers' feet weakened and they collapsed to the ground.

Xu Yang followed the black cat Ye Tu to the gate and found that the two soldiers had passed out. He secretly admired the power of Ye Tu's eye skills.

The black cat turned to look at the locked door. A light blue light flashed around his body, and a ball of blue mist rolled out from his body. The blue mist surged forward and gathered on the vermilion door.

The gate was obviously protected by a defensive ban. When the blue mist touched it, goldfish-like runes jumped out of its surface, and an invisible force of repulsion surged out.

A flash of bright light flashed in Black Cat Ye Tu's green eyes, and a green pupil the size of a fist suddenly appeared in the blue mist, creating circles of green ripples. Wherever the green ripples passed, the golden runes jumping on the door disappeared. The strange thing is that the part of the originally heavy door that was covered by the blue mist has become as transparent as nothing, as if a window has been opened on the door, giving an unobstructed view of the scenery in the courtyard.

A room facing the courtyard gate was illuminated by candlelight. A woman's figure can be seen through the half-open window. The woman has an oval face with phoenix eyes, flat eyebrows and a straight nose, and is dignified. Under the candlelight, she is earnestly embroidering a small purse.

Black Cat Ye Tu watched the woman's every move with his eyes. He stopped using the technique of looking through the door until the woman put down the needle and thread in her hand, turned off the light, and the room became dark.

"Let's go." Black Cat Ye Tu said calmly.

Xu Yang was a little confused. Why did he waste so long in front of this unrelated woman when he followed Ye Tu out to kill Princess Dong in the middle of the night? Without asking any more questions, he followed Black Cat Ye Tu and continued walking forward.

Under the moonlight, a tall and exquisite two-story pavilion is located in a spacious courtyard in front. Outside the gate of the courtyard, a row of soldiers stood neatly on the left and right, about thirty of them. The streets outside the gate were filled with soldiers patrolling back and forth.

"This is where Princess Dong rests." Black Cat Ye Tu said calmly.

"There are so many people here, so we have to find a way to sneak in." Xu Yang said in a voice.

"Let me stand on your shoulders." After Black Cat Ye Tu finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and disappeared. The next moment, he was on Xu Yang's shoulders.

Another circle of light blue smoke emitted from the body surface of Black Cat Yetu, and after a moment, the blue smoke enveloped the two.

"You just need to silently recite the words "you can't see me" in your heart." Black Cat Ye Tu said.

Xu Yang didn't know what Ye Tu's technique of hiding his figure was, so he could only follow Ye Tu's words and recite the four words "can't see me" in his heart attentively.

Black Cat Ye Tu felt that Xu Yang's aura was restrained and calm, and knew that Xu Yang was concentrating on silently chanting in his heart, and then said: "Go directly towards the gate."

After hearing this, Xu Yang walked towards the door without thinking.

The strange thing is that Xu Yang is only a few meters away from the guarding soldiers, but the soldiers are fine.

Occasionally I heard one or two soldiers whispering to each other.

"I haven't heard of any emergencies. I wonder why the princess suddenly tightened the security around her residence?"

"It is said that someone saw a black cat wandering around the inner city during the day. I heard that Princess Dong is afraid of cats, hehe."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the princess will take your head after finding out."

…

"In a moment, you go over and put your hand gently on the door, and I will cast a spell to let us pass through the door." Black Cat Ye Tu said through the message.

"OK."

Xu Yang walked around the pair of soldiers in front of him and quietly approached the door.

He stretched out a palm and was about to place it gently on the door. At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance. Because Xu Yang restrained his breath and did not let go of his consciousness, he didn't know what happened?

"Someone is coming, it seems to be Lord Dongling. Let's stay away from here first." The black cat Ye Tu on Xu Yang's shoulder said.

Xu Yang could only retract his outstretched hand and quickly retreat.

After retreating about thirty steps, Yetu's voice came to my ears again: "Just hide behind this tree. From this distance, I don't think Lord Dongling can find you and me."

Xu Yang turned aside and hid behind a big tree by the roadside with Ye Tu. Xu Yang could feel the black cat's breathing becoming a little rapid. Obviously, using such a clever stealth technique would consume a lot of Ye Tu's mana.

Not long after, there was a messy sound of footsteps coming from the corner of the street. A group of soldiers opened the way, followed by four strong soldiers carrying a square sedan with a flat top and blue soap cloth.

When the sedan arrived in front of the door, the four soldiers carrying the sedan gently lowered the sedan. The curtain of the sedan was lifted, and Lord Dongling bent down and stepped out of the sedan.

Immediately, soldiers opened the door and quickly went to the hospital to report. Not long after, a chamberlain came out and took Lord Dongling into the courtyard.

"It's so late. Princess Dong Ling must have something important to do when she calls Lord Dong Ling here. Fortunately, she didn't rush in just now. Otherwise, facing Princess Dong and Lord Dong Ling, two True Alchemy Realm monks, let alone assassination Princess Dong, it should be considered a lucky thing to escape safely." Xu Yang was secretly grateful.

"Let's go back, I'm not in the mood to kill anymore." Black Cat Yetu said.

"You are obviously not sure, and you have found such a high-level reason for yourself." Xu Yang muttered secretly in his heart.

Xu Yang had no choice but to return to his single-family residence with the black cat.

When he returned to his residence, Xu Yang did not sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed to recuperate. As a monk, practicing cross-legged breathing is also a way to rest, but it is not as relaxing as sleeping. The advantage is that you can maintain a high level of vigilance while resting.

At dawn, Xu Yang opened his eyes on the bed and looked around the room, but there was no trace of the black cat Ye Tu.

He lowered his head and found a handful of black cat hair remaining on the table in front of the bed, so he reached out and picked it up.

With a "pop" sound, a blue flame ignited, and a moment later the hair in his hand turned into nothingness.

Xu Yang's ears heard the message from Ye Tu's magic seal: "I went to check last night. The reason why the East Princess summoned Lord Dongling in the middle of the night was because there was news from the border. There were signs that the West County would take the initiative to send troops to attack. The army has begun to gather. Tomorrow, Princess Dong will go to Beiqing Mountain in the north of Dongjun City to set up an altar to worship the heavens and pray that the war will be successful. You can go there together, I will do it in secret. follow."

"The efficiency of the leader of this night massacre is really high." Xu Yang secretly praised in his heart.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and the maid's voice came: "Mr. Xu, have you gotten up?"

"come in."

Two maids, Shu Yun and Xi Yue, pushed open the door and entered, each holding a copper basin filled with water and a clean, white face towel.

"Mr. Xu, please let the two slaves help you wash up." Shu Yun, the maid, said obediently.

"Okay." Xu Yang was not polite.

One person held Xu Yang's forehead and hairline with his hand, and the other person used a face towel to wipe Xu Yang's cheeks.

"Mr. Xu, please sit here and I will massage your head. It will make you feel refreshed throughout the day." Xiyue said with a smile.

"Oh, is it so?"

Xu Yang said, sitting on a round stool unceremoniously.

Xiyue stretched out a pair of slender hands and massaged Xu Yang's forehead, brow bone, temples, and Baihui point on the top of his head. Some gently open the gate of heaven, some gently push the palace, some gently rub the sun, or tap lightly with a jade hammer, making people feel comfortable among the flowing clouds.

"If you enjoy it like this every day, it will inevitably make people lose their ambition and mess up their Taoist mind." Thinking of this, Xu Yang secretly used the Dark Fire Technique to run the meridians around the sky, completely forgetting the external disturbances.

After a stick of incense, Xiyue stopped her technique and said in a charming voice: "Mr. Xu, it feels so good."

Indeed, after Xiyue's massage, Xu Yang felt sober and relaxed.

"Thank you, Miss Xiyue."

With that said, he took out twenty high-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed them to Xiyue.

"Here are some spiritual stones. You four can take them and share them. I will inevitably stay here for a few days, so I will help you four."

"this?"

"You're welcome, just take it." With that said, Xu Yang put the spirit stone into Xiyue's palm.

"Thank you Mr. Xu."

It's not that Xu Yang is generous, but Xu Yang doesn't want to owe others anything?

…

Sure enough, as Yetu said, Lord Dongling found Xu Yang in person in the morning. Conveying the wishes of Princess Dong, Xu Yang was invited to go to Beiqing Mountain to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Xu Yang followed Lord Dongling to the main hall of Dongjun City to meet Princess Dong again, and then followed Princess Dong and his party to leave Dongjun City and head to Beiqing Mountain.

Beiqing Mountain is located eighty miles north of Dongjun City. Within the sphere of influence of Dongjun City, it is the highest mountain in the entire Xiaoxian world. The deity "Lu Qingyun", the creator god of Xiaoxian Realm, is enshrined here. Every major festival or event, Princess Dong would come here in person to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for divine help.

In fact, as monks in the True Alchemy Realm, all the previous Princesses of East County knew that offering sacrifices and praying might not really result in the blessings from the gods they prayed for. But the main purpose is to promote the divine power of Confucianism and make the people in the small world more convinced of the divine power of Confucianism, thereby boosting morale and uniting people's hearts.

Since the war was imminent, most of Dongjun's soldiers were sent to the border, and the remaining ones had to guard several important cities in Dongjun. Therefore, the number of people brought by Princess Dong to participate in Beiqingshan's sacrificial activities this time was not large. The main characters are still several close ministers. In addition to Dongling Jun, the chief assistant of Dongjun, the three major captains of Dongjun, Meng Guang, Li Fei, and Jiang Sanfeng, are among them. There are only more than a hundred ordinary soldiers. In addition, Princess Dongjun also went together.
