“I… home…”

When he heard this reply, Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't quite understood, or like an old car that had been slowly driving for many years without inspection suddenly starting to race on a mountain road.

He turned his head,

looked at the gate close at hand,

and then looked at the steps beneath him.

Zhou Ze suddenly stood up.

What kind of thing would lie lazily and motionless on the steps of the gate?

For a time,

Zhou Ze felt that he had been taken advantage of.

"Heh… heh… heh…"

Ying Gou laughed.

Recently,

he had been constantly frustrated.

First, in Xuzhou, he set up his formation and waited for the "Buddha" to appear, but the Buddha said to him, "Sorry, wrong door."

It was like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man.

Then, in the little zombie's cave, Zhou Ze mistook him for being "tsundere" (口嫌体正直), which he couldn't explain at all.

Then, when facing Lu Pingzhi, he was directly tricked, and Zhou Ze clutched his stomach, laughing until it hurt.

Therefore,

he hoped to see the tables turned;

otherwise,

how could

this proud heart accommodate itself?

Fortunately, Boss Zhou always took this kind of thing very lightly, and Boss Zhou had always been a down-to-earth person, focusing on reality in everything he did.

When Ying Gou said that this palace was his home,

and seeing the three hundred ghost soldiers rushing in like Japanese devils entering a village,

"Hiss…"

Suddenly,

Zhou Ze felt that

his heart

ached so much that he couldn't breathe.

Before, he didn't care; anyway, it was like overthrowing the local tyrants and dividing the land, you're happy, I'm happy too;

now he suddenly realized that he was dividing his own land,

Boss Zhou felt a pang of heartache.

Furthermore, thinking that

this place had been explored by countless big and small fish one after another for thousands of years,

and that countless treasures had been taken away by others,

the pain

penetrated deep into his bones!

Old Zhang only felt his boss's body shaking不停地, and immediately reached out to support Zhou Ze.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let me catch my breath."

Inhale,

exhale,

inhale,

exhale,

still so angry!

Old Zhang suddenly felt the hand that his boss was holding suddenly exert force,

and then he heard his boss's gritted teeth:

"Let's go, we're going in!"

Uh,

Old Zhang was a little confused.

Wasn't it the boss who said to wait and see and that treasure hunting was risky?

Old Zhang didn't ask, and just followed Zhou Ze down the steps and walked inside.

And Zhou Ze walked faster and faster, finally starting to run!

Time waits for no one!

Time waits for no one!

Mine,

mine,

all mine,

put it all down for me!

The black-clothed youth looked at the two figures gradually disappearing from his sight in astonishment,

and then, lying on the steps,

he closed his eyes again.

………………

Whether it was because the palace had been plundered and explored countless times, or whether it was originally designed this way,

after passing through several pavilions in a row, they all seemed empty.

Even the gauze curtains seemed to have been torn down and taken away, leaving only the wooden structure.

What shocked Zhou Ze the most was that

even the main beam had been artificially cut open and a piece taken away.

"Let me know if there's anything good."

"Don't… know…"

After thousands of years of plundering, the good things should all be gone, right?

After all, even the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ten Kings of Hell, who were descendants of the successive Lords of Mount Tai, had come here to "mourn."

Of course,

saying "mourn,"

but what they actually did

was very clear.

"Then think again, are there any places where things are hidden that are difficult for outsiders to find, and are likely to still be left?"

"There… are…"

"Then tell me quickly, where is it, what should I do?"

"Why… should… I… give… it… to… you?"

"There are nearly three hundred ghost soldiers inside trying their luck now, wouldn't it be better for me to take it than for someone else to take it?"

"Rather… give… to… foreign… friends… than… to… domestic… slaves…"

"…" Zhou Ze.

There was no point in talking,

the conversation was dead.

"Really no room for negotiation?"

"You… beg… me…"

"…" Zhou Ze.

Are you toxic!

These are all your things,

aren't you heartbroken after being stolen from for thousands of years?

………………

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

"Hiss… ahhh!!!"

"Does it still hurt?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, bear with it."

"We still underestimated King Equality Lu."

"It's normal, he's one of the Ten Kings of Hell, and the one who suppresses Fengdu Ghost City. If he didn't have some tricks, how could he have risen to the top?

It's still that you were too headstrong,

insisting on competing with that King Equality. Otherwise, if we few attendants had attacked together, that King Equality wouldn't have been able to make much trouble."

"How dare he, a mere Yin Si puppet king, is he worthy of us few attendants attacking him together?"

"Okay, okay, he's worthy, he's worthy. But take a look at your injuries. There are seven wounds in total. You suppressed four yourself, and I sealed three for you, but there's no effective way to quickly resolve them yet."

"It'll be fine after a period of recuperation. I can feel that the power at the wound is constantly weakening, but hiding in this place makes me feel very depressed."

"After all, this is a place that the eyes of Yin Si cannot see.

Although the outside seems calm now, it's conceivable that the other palaces must be secretly tracking us like crazy. It's not advisable for you to fight with people again now. Once the injury relapses, it may lead to your soul being split, and it would be an exaggeration to say that you'd disappear completely, but it's inevitable that you'd fall several realms.

You know, this injury of yours has already made Grand Chamberlain very dissatisfied."

"I know, don't worry, I'll be fine after a period of recuperation."

"I'll leave this place first. The other palaces are tracking us, but aren't we also tracking that King Equality?

Ninth Palace, if King Equality Lu doesn't completely fall, even if we slaughter the entire palace, it'll still be hard to say that we've completely eliminated the Ninth Palace."

"Hehe, he's in a very sorry state now, having to avoid our pursuit while also daring not to contact people from other palaces, because he doesn't know which of the other nine palaces have already turned to us.

You go ahead,

don't let him escape,

I'll recuperate here."

"Mm."

A black shadow left.

Then,

in this sealed place,

a man wearing a black official robe walked out.

The man had no beard, and delicate features.

His back was slightly hunched,

giving people a strong sense of femininity.

If you looked closely,

you could see several blood lines on his body, emitting red light from time to time; these were his injuries.

After an unknown amount of time,

some noise suddenly came from outside.

The man suddenly opened his eyes.

His pupils were divided into seven colors, like amber inlaid in them.

"The people of Yin Si have discovered me?"

The man muttered to himself,

walked to the front and approached the wall,

placed his palm on it,

and then drew a circle.

In the circle,

he saw three ghost soldiers walking towards this palace. In the distance, there seemed to be traces of other ghost soldiers.

The man frowned.

This shouldn't be directed at him,

unless the Yin Si had really collectively gone crazy,

otherwise they would never send so many ghost soldiers to search for the murderer who could destroy the Ninth Palace!

"Hehe,

very well,

just let me replenish myself and speed up the recovery of my injuries."

…………

"That ghost soldier from Tongcheng has a really big mouth."

"That's right, he directly said, 'You're not worthy.' Hehe, why doesn't he dare to be so arrogant to Inspector?"

Two male ghost soldiers were obviously still indignant about what had happened before.

"He almost wiped out the entire Xuzhou ghost soldiers, so he has the capital to be so arrogant."

The woman in the white dress stopped the complaints of her two companions and continued,

"Let's focus on the matter at hand. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us."

The woman had considerable prestige in this small team. Since she had spoken, the other two male ghost soldiers didn't say anything more.

At this time,

one of the male ghost soldiers suddenly shouted in surprise,

"There's something here!"

A purple mushroom stubbornly grew out from the gap in the floor.

The main color of hell was gray and white, therefore any other bright color represented something extraordinary, especially in this kind of place.

Without hesitation, the male ghost soldier rushed over and reached out to pick it.

However,

when his hand grabbed the mushroom,

he immediately let out a scream.

The purple color on the mushroom instantly spread upwards, dyeing his entire arm.

"Bang!"

The body of this male ghost soldier immediately began to wither,

his soul was rapidly decomposed and sucked dry,

leaving only a cloud of smoke in the shape of a human,

which soon dissipated!

All this happened too quickly,

so quickly that the other two ghost soldiers, one male and one female, didn't have time to react at all.

"Ahhh!!!"

Another male ghost soldier also screamed.

His feet began to change color,

and then his soul began to dissipate rapidly.

His whole body seemed to be sucked under the floor.

The female ghost soldier no longer hesitated and immediately ran towards the outside of the palace.

"Bang!"

A sleeve came head-on,

directly sweeping the female ghost soldier back.

Then,

just as the female ghost soldier had stabilized her figure and was preparing for her next move,

she found that a person

was already standing behind her,

and his chest was completely pressed against her back.

"Hoo…"

The man wearing the black official robe gently blew a breath on the female ghost soldier's earlobe,

causing her hair to flutter.

The female ghost soldier felt as if her whole body was under a spell, unable to move at all!

"Hehe… woman, tsk tsk, woman…"

The man reached out and wandered over the female ghost soldier's body with some regret.

At first, it was reminiscing,

then it was greed,

then it was helplessness,

and finally it was anger.

He opened his mouth,

choking the female ghost soldier's neck with one hand,

and directly roared:

"I hate women!"
