Why did you mess up the copy again?

This old demon is also a witch, retaining the image of his life. He stands on four legs, still has his hands, has a long neck, and has a slender beard on his chin. If he were not in the state of an undead, he should be somewhat happy.

Although he is dead, he still speaks the language of the Wu clan and can still be understood.

Li Rui stepped forward and replied: "We are entrusted by the chief priest of the Wucrow tribe to eliminate the evil spirits of the undead in the ghost city."

"Ghost town."

"Hahaha, has Witch City turned into a ghost town?"

The old demon smiled bitterly and said, "Who is the chief priest of the Witch Crow tribe now?"

"Wu Huan."

"Ah, little Wu Huan is already the chief priest. If I guess correctly, it has been forty or fifty years since the great changes in Wu City, right?"

Li Rui looked at Cheng Mingyue, who replied: "Sixty and three years."

After the old demon asked about the current situation, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Times have changed, and it is all our fault."

He looked up at the ceiling steadily, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Rui waited for him to settle down for a while, and then asked, "Who are you?"

"excuse me."

The old demon came back to his senses, "The old man's name is Qi Ya. He is a star recorder in Wu City. He is responsible for recording all the major and minor events that happened in the city. He also has the duties of observing the sky and checking for bad luck."

Li Rui said: "It's a pleasure to meet you. Uncle, could you please tell me what happened back then? In addition, I feel that the evil spirit here is different from that outside the palace. Is there a reason?"

He didn't have time to chat now, so he went straight to the point and asked what was most important to him.

The old demon sighed again. With this sigh, even his soul became a little dim, and the three of them were frightened and comforted each other.

Qiu Ya finally said: "If we want to explain this matter, we need to start from the beginning."

"I still remember that it was midnight one day, and the old man was watching the sky at home to deduce the fortune and misfortune of Witch City. At that time, it was deduced from the displacement of the star chart that a big change was about to happen."

"Just when I was shocked and doubtful, I suddenly saw a meteor falling from the sky and falling to the southeast of Wang Zezhou."

"I immediately went to the palace to see the city lord. It was this decision that caused a huge disaster."

Li Rui asked: "The meteor has fallen, and is it in Wang Zezhou?"

"Of course."

Qi Ya said, "When the Witch King heard what I said, he immediately sent out the Great Witch Fatty to lead people to search for it, and finally found the object that fell from the sky on the bank of the East China Sea."

Li Rui asked: "What is that?"

Qiu Ya glanced at him and said categorically: "The ominous thing! That is the source of the trouble in Witch City."

He seemed a little excited: "This object is a round jade ball, white on top and black on the bottom, emitting billowing evil aura. When I saw it that day, I felt that it could not be kept for long and should be abandoned in the ocean."

"But the general believes that the jade ball contains powerful power, and we should try to control it. In this way, the strength of Wu City can be raised to a higher level, and even the unification of Wang Zezhou can be realized."

Cheng Mingyue beeped softly: "It fits the traditional plot of being lost because of power."

Qi Ya regretted it deeply: "The city lord listened to the words of the general and ordered us to seize the time and study day and night to explore the secrets in the jade ball. I felt that the thing was ominous and could not stop them, so I had to stay home because of illness."

"Later, hey, as far as I know, the six deacons who were summoned into the palace by the city lord have all disappeared, and the great witch Fat Xieche has also stayed behind closed doors. It is rumored that he is suffering from illness."

"Then more people disappeared, and starting from the north of the city, rumors of evil spirits began to spread."

Having said this, he calmed down, "I appealed to the city lord to stop the research on the jade ball immediately, but there was no response. Later, even the palace gate was closed, and we and other subjects could no longer see the city lord."

"Despite this, incidents of evil spirits occurred again and again in the city. The general led his troops to suppress them, but people were always in fear and some residents moved outside the city."

"Later, I tried to meet the city lord again. I thought I would still be rejected, but unexpectedly, an edict was issued from the palace, asking me and all the city ministers to enter the palace to meet the city lord."

"I thought that a turning point had finally appeared. I was waiting in front of the palace with the ministers to discuss how to give advice. Unexpectedly, the general suddenly appeared with his troops and detained us all."

A look of pain appeared on Qi Ya's face: "Then, we were plotted against, and we were all beheaded in the palace, and our souls were sealed in a pot."

"There is always a cold evil spirit outside that is constantly eroding my remaining soul. I noticed that the officials in the palace have already been infected by the evil spirit and turned into undead souls who only know how to kill."

Li Rui asked: "Then why can you retain your sanity?"

Qiuya replied: "That evil spirit was modified by the city lord, specifically to corrode the demon clan who practice the secret method of Wu City, but he did not expect that in addition to the magic that all monks in Wu City must practice, there is also an ancestral secret method in my family. It’s called Guiyuan Holding Shou Gong.”

"With this technique, I will hide my spiritual consciousness in the pot to prevent it from being invaded by external evils. I will always stick to it, so that one day, if someone can seek justice, I can tell the truth."

Li Rui and the others were in awe. This old monster had been waiting alone in the lonely palace for decades. His consciousness was clear, and he even had to resist the erosion of evil spirits. It not only required strong cultivation, but also a strong heart.

Once there is even the slightest thought of slacking off, I'm afraid I won't be able to stick to it.

Qi Ya asked: "How do the tribes outside the city understand what is happening here?"

The three of them finished talking about the outside world's speculations one by one. The old demon was a little angry: "What about defending the city! The general conspired with the city lord to kill all the people in the city!"

"But why? Is it a blood sacrifice? No, they themselves are dead." Cheng Mingyue asked.

Qiu Ya was silent. He shook his head and said, "It's impossible to know. When I died, I didn't know what the city lord wanted."

At this time, Xu Xiliang, who had been silent, said, "I have an idea."

The other three looked at him.

"Do you know the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?" he asked.

As soon as these words came out, Tiliu looked confused, and both Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue looked shocked.

"Could it be that"

Qiu Ya asked: "May I ask you all, what do you mean?"

"that is."

Cheng Mingyue explained, "Your city lord wants to transform all his subjects into undead and then continue his rule."

"What?!"

In shock, the dead soul of Zhiya became a little darker, "How is this possible, he he..."

The old demon thought for a while and found that he really couldn't refute.

When the general patrolling the city closed the city gates, it was not to eliminate evil spirits at all, but to massacre the city. The ministers were called into the palace, killed, and placed in these soul pots in order to nourish the evil spirit.

"I understand, I understand."

He lowered his hands dejectedly, "Wucheng is one of the strongest forces in Dongwang Zezhou, but it cannot unify the east. The city owner must have obtained some kind of power from the jade ball, and wanted to break through the bottleneck in this way."

Perhaps for the city lord at that time, there was no difference between ruling a group of monsters or a group of undead. The key issue was still the "meteor".

If it weren't for the powerful power and evil spirit contained in it, it would have been impossible to accomplish this with just a big demon with a level limit of 50.

Li Rui said: "Don't worry, senior. A few of us are going to kill that guy named Fuliu and clear out the evil spirit in this city. But let me ask you first, is that jade ball still in the palace at this moment?"
