I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

pity.

Xu An had no way to explain to them what had happened.

The living ghosts in the entire dungeon started to move one after another and began to interrogate in batches.

The remaining few stubborn innate male ghosts were called to the interrogation room individually.

After Xu An had a cordial and friendly conversation with them, he found that they were all under control without exception.

The Soul Refining Stone Mill cut their souls into the size of rice grains, repeatedly turning their eyes, accompanied by inhumane screams, and finally forced out wisps of black air.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at them after they woke up, and they were either frustrated, angry, or afraid. After asking for the clues he wanted, he signaled them not to panic.

Just do what he says and you will survive.

It lasted from noon till dusk.

Dozens of living ghosts were captured throughout the main city of Yangzhou.

Even though the curfew was about to begin, the ghosts in the city were still extremely uneasy and fell into a state of panic.

They had a strong sense of déjà vu, and they felt that it would be their turn in the next moment.

On the contrary, the living ghosts outside the city seemed to be leisurely.

For example, the tens of thousands of ghosts assigned by Xu An to settle and reclaim the land were now feeling extremely happy as they watched the city busy all day.

These evil heroes who acted tyrannically have finally met their end?

Mr. Xu is indeed a good man, he did a great job.

We should arrest more people, arrest them all, and see who dares to act so recklessly.

In the Tongpan Mansion, Yang Wei looked at the pile of petitions to demand Xu's death that were quietly handed over, and the more he read, the more he wanted to laugh.

Looking at those who came to petition and show up one after another, there were also those who tried to distance themselves from the matter and protect themselves.

After a long while, he said only one sentence:

"I'll leave this matter to Mr. Xu. I'm very confident. Please go back. I'm going to retreat and break through."

The news that Yangxu was going to break through had actually been spreading like wildfire in Yangzhou City for a long time.

The vast majority of ghosts actually hold a normal attitude towards this.

After all, this Tongpan has been in office for a thousand years. It is reasonable that he should have made a breakthrough long ago.

But at this critical moment, there was suddenly a ghost that didn't want him to break through.

That state seemed to be saying, you are so broad-minded, and you have made a breakthrough like this, so at least you can take care of the lives of us ghosts.

Who knows if Xu An will invite them to jail in the next moment under the pretext of investigating the case?

Why don't you just stay in Yangzhou City, where you have food, drink and the services of the gods, and go to jail to suffer?

But Yang Wei was determined, as if his breakthrough was urgent, and drove them all out.

That night, the moonlight was like water and the stars were invisible.

Many living ghosts tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep listening to the noises coming from outside from time to time.

Lord Xu seemed to become more and more excited as he investigated, and the frequency of arrests skyrocketed, to the point where criminals could be found almost everywhere in the city.

Precisely because of the large scale of the incident and the large number of ghosts involved, almost all the stability maintenance forces in Yangzhou City, as well as the attention of the living ghosts, were drawn into it.

And just as they were all busy running around, the Tongpan Mansion became empty without anyone noticing, to the point where there were almost no ghosts.

Only the strong fluctuation of magical power faintly emanating from it remained, indicating to the living ghost that he, Yang Wei, was indeed making a breakthrough.

In the darkness, hidden in the shadows, a ghost figure held a pitch-black horn cup in his hand and said in a hoarse and low voice:

"This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have the chance to control the Yangzhou Yin Court again."

Next to him, another voice came:

"Don't you think this is too risky? The divine object has just arrived, and the power it has gathered isn't strong enough yet. It's better to remain dormant and wait for the right opportunity."

The figure holding the horn cup shook his head, disagreeing with his opinion.

"If he can't control the Yinting Tongpan, it's useless to control ordinary living ghosts. He waited for so long before he got a chance to break through."

"If we miss this opportunity, once he reaches the level of Creation, controlling him will become a thousand times more difficult!"

"What's more, Yang Wei and his men have already tracked us down and are after us. If we hesitate any longer, we will not only miss the opportunity, but also put our lives in danger!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other figures hiding in the darkness fell silent.

Although they instinctively suspected why Yang Wei was so eager to break through at this time, there might be something fishy going on.

But considering that his breakthrough was not a sudden idea, but was foreshadowed in advance.

In addition, Xu An's thorough investigation progress was faster than they expected, and he was very resolute, so the situation was indeed critical.

Wait until Yang Wei really breaks through to the realm of creation.

With his identity as the judge of Yinting, he could call upon the power of heaven and earth, and the entire Yangzhou city became a cage to trap them.

"If I succeed, the Yangzhou Yin Court will belong to us from now on. If I fail, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape!"

His voice was slightly chilly, but his mind was firm. The figure appeared on the empty streets of Yangzhou's main city, holding a horn cup in his hand.

Along the way, he used his extremely quick reactions to avoid the ghost soldiers who were still patrolling and arresting people.

It was not until he stepped into the Tongpan Mansion and felt the ever-increasing power inside that he became more and more certain that this was his only chance.

Going deeper inside, standing in front of the door of the underground room where Yang Wei was in seclusion, the living ghost figure suddenly made a move and pressed his fingers and palms on the door made of black iron.

As his magic power was activated, a strong red light burst out from his body, illuminating the area in front and behind him with a bloody glow.

The same powerful magical light suddenly burst out from the black iron gate, and countless magical inscriptions lit up in a winding manner, resembling dragons and snakes.

"Array?"

After sensing the countervailing force coming from the door, the living ghost figure was not surprised at all. The terrifying power that could penetrate mountains and cut off rivers condensed between his fingers.

Then, he suddenly raised his hand and fiercely blasted at the black iron gate that was operating the formation.

The powerful magical light rolled back the heaven and earth, pouring down with destructive waves.

In an instant, the gate, which was strong enough to withstand the full-force attack of the Purple Mansion cultivator without collapsing, made a sound of metal twisting and was torn apart violently.

Countless twisted, broken and winding iron blocks flew out, making a terrifying explosion like thunder.

Inside the basement, the lights were on brightly, and it was as bright as day.

At this moment, Yang Wei was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform with his eyes slightly closed.

From all around him, a strong flow of magical power, like the dark sun, constantly contracted and expanded, floating up and down in his body.

As if he had sensed the fluctuation and his breakthrough was disturbed, he opened and closed his eyes, and suddenly clouds in all directions above the Tongpan Mansion moved, and yin energy surged, forming a strong storm, pressing down on the sky.

His body remained motionless, his breath remained the same, and Yang Wei said in a slightly cold voice:

"Oh it's you!"

Looking at Yang Wei's eyes staring at him, the figure who stepped into the inner room reached out and took off the hood on his head, saying:

"If you stop now, you will miss the opportunity to break through. I have no intention of harming you. On the contrary, I want to help you!"
