Chapter 78

The City God was busily recruiting soldiers and buying horses, and in a short time, he had gathered over a hundred ghost generals. Where did they come from? They were either lured or forcibly taken, or perhaps he had merged with other regions and recruited them.

Given his current aggressive demand for Xijun, he might have gone to any lengths to get her. If you didn't give her to him, he would just take her by force.

I didn't know what he wanted to do. Was he planning to attack other City Gods?

Fortunately, Zhang Yuzhong gave me this soul box to replace Xijun, making the City God as excited as a child with a new toy, eager to open it and see what ghost general was inside to expand his vast army.

Unfortunately, no good ghost general came out; instead, a more ferocious character emerged, causing chaos in the entire City God's mansion. After all, Liu Fengyi wasn't that powerful.

Even if the box contained something else, I would have handed it over without hesitation. Jiang Han sent a female ghost and a ghost child, but it still didn't bring back Xijun.

Moreover, Liu Fengyi and Jiang Han didn't match at all. The female ghost was a simple-minded evil spirit who killed anyone who entered her territory and even implanted a ghost fetus in the Zhao family. She didn't even consider what the Zhao family did. It would be better to eliminate such a mindless evil spirit early. Plus, during the night exploration of Liancheng Mountain, I almost fell into a trap, which left me with a bias.

If the City God wants it, let him have it.

Seeing the commotion inside, the Black and White Impermanents hurriedly stopped to look.

"You've recruited so many new ghost generals, and they don't get along. They might be fighting among themselves. Why are you just standing there? Go and save the City God!" I frowned.

The Black and White Impermanents looked at me, disbelieving, but they couldn't continue escorting me.

"You don't need to escort me anymore! All your City God's ghost generals are there, and they probably can't stop my two ghosts." I had already run far away, turning back with a serious expression to urge them to save the City God.

"Thank you!" The Black Impermanent, seeing my concern for the City God, waved in gratitude.

Is he going to help me count the money after selling me? I was stunned for a moment and quickly ran away.

In my heart, I maliciously hoped that whatever was in the box would cause the City God to suffer, making his mansion a chaotic mess, so I could return to the human world.

But as I was running, I heard the City God shouting my name. It seemed he had been defeated by Li Po and couldn't handle what was in the box with his current strength.

"Roar! Roar!"

The roars echoed through the City God's mansion, making me shudder. What kind of ghost was this, with such a deafening voice?

It didn't sound like something Liu Fengyi could produce. It must be some kind of ghost king.

Song Wan Yi looked at the City God's mansion, her eyes wide with shock.

"Wan Yi, deal with the few yin soldiers guarding the entrance and blow the door open! Hurry!" At the Yin-Yang Path, I pointed at a group of yin soldiers and told Song Wan Yi.

But Song Wan Yi ignored me. "Master, I think I've discovered something significant. Should we go back?"

"What are you talking about! Your fellow disciples might be trying to break the door down. This side is easier to break through; they might take a long time to get in!" I said, pressing my ear to the door and hearing someone on the other side trying to break it down.

Boom!

Xijun opened her mouth, and a beam of light blasted the door, the sound almost making my ears bleed.

Xijun looked at me, confused, and I patted my forehead, speechless. I was in my physical form and needed to listen for the commotion on the other side. Your explosion almost deafened me.

"Brother..." Xijun, seeing my stern look, pulled at her clothes, looking委屈 (wronged).

"Okay, it's fine. Keep blasting..." Seeing her cute expression, I couldn't scold her and turned to see what Song Wan Yi was doing.

But Song Wan Yi flew directly to the City God's mansion.

I stomped my foot in anger, frustrated. What was going on? Why did she turn back at such a critical moment?

"Song Wan Yi!" I called, but she just smiled and waved at me.

I almost fainted from anger.

Boom!

With the combined effort of Xijun and the outside forces, the gate of the human world path was blasted open again. The City God would have to spend a lot of money on repairs.

"Junior Brother! Are you okay?" Senior Brother Hai saw me and came over.

Yao Long was clenching his fists, clearly the one who had been trying to break the door.

Liu Fangyuan also arrived, nodding at me when he saw I was fine.

"I'm fine. The City God just likes to cause trouble. He had ghosts carry a coffin to拘 (restrain) me, but I used the box given by Zhang Xiaofei to buy him off and promised to use it to拘 (restrain) him." I explained briefly, taking out the small coffin.

"That's good. Whatever the City God's ghosts want, we should agree to it. Just be careful when we go up." Senior Brother digested the information, used to the underworld's extortion and the habit of giving in to demands.

"Xia Xiaobrother, something doesn't seem right. What's happening in the mansion? Why are there continuous shouts of battle?" Yao Long pointed to the City God's mansion, which was shrouded in yin energy and seemed to be in chaos.

"The City God opened the sealed urn given by Zhang Xiaofei, and it seems he's in trouble." I said.

"Oh, I see. Let's go then. Whatever is inside must be powerful enough to give the City God a hard time." Yao Long chuckled and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I have a ghost that ran back. I need to summon it back." I frowned, wondering why Song Wan Yi had gone there for no reason, and started chanting to summon her.

But before I finished the incantation, a large black dog with bloodshot eyes roared out of the City God's mansion, biting the urn and stepping on a ghost general, tearing off half of its body with one paw!

I was terrified. This black dog was huge, with sharp teeth and a black body, almost as big as a small elephant.

"This... is a dog? It doesn't look like one! Normal dogs aren't that big." Senior Brother Hai said in surprise.

"A dog's soul? A black dog's soul? I've never seen one!" Yao Long frowned, also seeing it for the first time.

As I spoke, Song Wan Yi seemed to say something, then squatted down and clapped her hands. The strange black dog tilted its head and stared at her.

I was puzzled. Why did Song Wan Yi go there to play with such a fierce dog?

I didn't know what Song Wan Yi said, but the dog wagged its tail.

The City God, leading a group of ghost generals who had been bitten and were in a sorry state, rushed out of the mansion, all of them stunned by the scene.

I was about to ask Song Wan Yi when the black dog pounced on her. I was startled and wanted to order Xijun to save her.

But Song Wan Yi lightly stepped and mounted the black dog, running toward me!

I was dumbfounded. This was possible? The black dog must be a dog god from the urn! Song Wan Yi, you're amazing!

The black dog ran through the underworld like it was flying, as fast as lightning, quickly leaving the City God and his ghost generals far behind, who were exhausted and couldn't catch up.

I quickly said, "Senior Brother! Let's go! It looks like Song Wan Yi has tamed the black dog!"

"Good! Good!" Senior Brother, who had never seen such a scene of ghosts in turmoil, couldn't stop the group of fierce ghost generals.

Yao Long and Liu Fangyuan also ran back.

But soon, Song Wan Yi caught up with me, riding the black dog.

The black dog was incredibly powerful, with red eyes that had a distinct red ring, much brighter than Wan Yi and Xijun's. From a distance, its eyes looked entirely red.

I didn't know what Song Wan Yi said to it, but it had become part of our group. Sitting on it, Song Wan Yi also became more powerful.

Xijun flew behind, unable to sit on the dog's back because Song Wan Yi had a mount, and she was so angry that her nose was pointing up.

"Congratulations, Master. This black dog is now part of our group. Remember to put its ashes in the soul urn with mine later." Song Wan Yi said happily.

"Sure." I had no objections to Song Wan Yi becoming more powerful.

"Miss, is this a black dog? It's just a black dog's soul, right?" Yao Long asked, running beside us.

"Black dog is the name I gave it. It is indeed a dog's soul, but it's the result of many wrongfully killed black dogs' souls accumulating over time. This urn contains the ashes of very powerful black dogs, countless in number." Song Wan Yi explained.

"Is this urn from the Wang family?" I frowned. The Wang family often killed black dogs, and only they could have created such a thing.

The Wang family is cunning. They gave this sealed urn to Zhang Yuzhong of the Zhang family to give to me, intending to harm me. If not for my wife's sister's reminder, I would have been bitten.

"Yes, the Wang family wanted it to bite whoever opened the urn." Song Wan Yi said.

"I almost forgot you can understand ghost animals' language and tame them. Next time you see a black dog, remember to help me tame a few more." I realized why Song Wan Yi had gone to the City God's mansion, to tame the black dog. With such a powerful black dog, we wouldn't have to fear the City God anymore. If he tried to拘 (restrain) me, it would depend on whether the black dog allowed it.

But this was only temporary. The City God and Li Po were severely injured and couldn't handle the black dog. If they were at full strength, it might be a different story.

"Yes, Master." Song Wan Yi said sweetly.

"Senior Brother, we're all in our physical forms. How long will it take to get back?"

"The array of the Yin-Yang Path will get us there quickly. Don't worry." Senior Brother Hai said, pointing to a strange path.

I looked but saw nothing, turning back to see Senior Brother Hai also stunned.

"Bad, the array has been broken by Li Po! We're being followed!"
