Chapter 599 Find the location where the magic energy is leaking
When Jiang Luo turned around, he saw a tall and handsome man walking towards him. It was Gu Ying.
At this time, Gu Ying was already a first-level high-level ghost cultivator. He had overcome all the bottlenecks and thunder tribulations that he had been unwilling to overcome in the past within just one year.
He did this to wait for his lover, Lin Zhongshu. Now his lover is by his side and they can practice dual cultivation every day. It can be said that they are in harmony with each other.
Come to think of it, his ghost life can be considered perfect.
Jiang Luo asked in surprise: "Gu Ying, why are you here? Aren't you filming anymore?"
Gu Ying was wearing a white robe, with a ghostly and seductive aura. He first bowed to Jiang Luo formally before saying, "I'm here to help you, and I'm sorry. This is not my life's ambition, and I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Jiang Luo chuckled and said, "I've seen that a long time ago. I'm not the kind of person who would force you to do anything. As long as you live well now, that's all that matters."
In fact, his initial candidate for successor was Lu Qing, but Lu Qing was a playboy and could not be helped. Later, Ling Wuchen appeared, and Ling Wuchen was too eager for quick success, so he found Gu Ying's original body, that ball of pure and powerful spiritual energy.
What a pity! He spent hundreds of years of energy on Gu Ying, but still failed in the end.
He did everything he should do, and joining the game himself was just his last choice. Fortunately, he succeeded.
Jiang Luo looked at Gu Ying, his lips slightly raised, with a hint of relief in his smile. He said softly: "I'm glad you can come to help. As for the successor, you don't have to worry about it anymore. You have found your own way, which is the most important thing."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Gu Ying's eyes, and she whispered, "Thank you for your understanding. However, I am not here just to help you. I heard that Ling Wuchen escaped to the demon world, and this incident may affect the stability of the Three Thousand Worlds. Although I am a ghost cultivator, I have fought side by side with you after all, and I will not stand idly by this time."
Jiang Luo nodded, with a relieved tone in his voice: "I understand your intention. However, the matter of the demon world is no trivial matter. I have arranged for people to deal with it. Your task now is to take care of yourself and Lin Zhongshu, and live your own life well."
Gu Ying smiled slightly, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "Jiang Luo, you said this as if I am already a useless person. Although I am no longer your successor, my strength is still there. Besides, the power of ghost cultivators is more advantageous in the demon world. You are also a ghost cultivator, you should know that demons are inseparable. Human cultivators cannot stay in the demonic energy for a long time, but ghost cultivators have no problem. Besides, now I am already a first-level high-level ghost cultivator. My strength is indeed worse than yours, but I don't know how much stronger it is than ordinary powerful cultivators! You won't despise me, right?"
Jiang Luo chuckled and shook his head, "How could I dislike you? It's just that the demon world is extremely dangerous, and I don't want you to be in danger."
Gu Ying's expression became serious, and her tone was firm: "Jiang Luo, I am serious this time. Ling Wuchen is your enemy, and it is my responsibility after all. If I hadn't given up the position of successor, perhaps things wouldn't have developed to this point. I must do something to make up for my mistake."
Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Gu Ying, you don't need to blame yourself for this. Ling Wuchen's matter has nothing to do with you. His ambition and obsession are the root cause. However, since you insist on helping, I will not stop you. But you have to promise me that you must be careful and don't act stubbornly."
Gu Ying nodded and smiled easily: "Don't worry, I'm a ghost cultivator, I know how to save my life best."
Jiang Luo smiled helplessly, then said seriously: "Okay, next I will arrange for you to act with other teams. Your task is to assist them in the dark and use the advantages of ghost cultivation to explore the movements of the demon world. If you find someone from the demon world trying to break through the border, notify me immediately."
Gu Ying responded, "Understood, I will integrate into the operation as soon as possible."
As they were talking, Lu Qing hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw Gu Ying, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What a rare guest! Gu Ying, why are you here?"
Gu Ying raised her eyebrows: "Why, you are not welcome?"
Lu Qing laughed and patted Gu Ying on the shoulder: "How can you not welcome me? Aren't you an award-winning actor now? I heard that you and your beloved husband are living happily together, so why did you come here?"
Gu Ying shook her head helplessly: "Don't be so funny, I'm here to help. The things in the demon world are a bit tricky, I have to do my part."
Lu Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "That's great! With a first-level high-level ghost cultivator like you joining us, our chances of winning are much greater."
Jiang Luo interrupted their pleasantries and said seriously, "Okay, time is running out, so stop talking nonsense. Lu Qing, take Gu Ying to familiarize herself with the current action plan. Gu Ying, after you join, you must obey orders and not act on your own."
Gu Ying clasped his fists towards him, nodded and said, "Understood."
After Lu Qing and Gu Ying left, Jiang Luo stood in the center of the main hall again, looking into the distance. He knew that the next battle would be more difficult, but he also believed that as long as they were united, there would be no enemy that they could not defeat.
"The power of heaven is for protection after all." Jiang Luo murmured in a low voice, "It's not bad to have a serious ghost cultivator like Gu Ying to help."
Jiang Luo stood in the center of the main hall of the capital, feeling slightly relieved.
Gu Ying's arrival undoubtedly added strength to them, especially the strength of a first-level high-level ghost cultivator, who was like a fish in water in the demon world. Although he was still a little worried, he knew that Gu Ying was not the kind of person who acted impulsively, and his joining would bring more possibilities to the team.
At this moment, Lin Shishuang hurried in with a serious expression: "Boss, I just received news that the border guards of the Demon Realm have made unusual movements near Green Stone City, and there seems to be signs of demonic energy leaking."
Jiang Luo frowned and responded quickly: "The demonic energy leaked? Could it be that the seal of the demon world has loosened?"
Lin Shishuang nodded: "It is very likely. According to investigation, the evil spirit is gushing out from the ground of Green Stone City, and it has a tendency to gradually spread. If it is not dealt with in time, it may affect the stability of the entire 2073 world line."
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment and immediately issued an order: "Lin Shishuang, you immediately lead a team to Green Stone City to find out the source of the demonic energy leakage and try to block it. In addition, notify Lu Qing and Gu Ying and have them enter the border of the Demon Realm in advance to investigate the movements of the Demon Realm and see if they are behind it."
Lin Shishuang responded, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Just as Lin Shishuang was about to carry out Jiang Luo's order, Jiang Luo stopped him and said, "Wait, Captain Liu just sent me a list of some monks with higher cultivation in the four cities we have conquered. Take them with you when you go, and let them bring some monks with them. When the time comes, see how they perform. If there are any outstanding ones, remember to report to me at any time."
Lin Shishuang understood that Jiang Luo was going to select the Human King for the 2073 world line, and he responded, "Okay, Boss!"
After Lin Shishuang left, Jiang Luo's expression became more solemn. He knew that the leakage of demonic energy was no small matter, especially at this critical moment, Ling Wuchen had just escaped into the demon world, and the power of the demon world might have begun to stir.
"Ling Wuchen had just escaped to the Demon Realm when the seal of the Demon Realm began to loosen. This is definitely not a coincidence. I'm afraid the loosening of the seal of the Demon Realm is just the beginning..." Jiang Luo whispered to himself, with a trace of determination in his eyes, "No matter what, we must stop the invasion of the Demon Realm."
A moment later, Lu Qing and Gu Ying hurried to the main hall. As soon as Lu Qing entered the door, he asked, "I heard that there are unusual movements in the demon world. What do you need me and Gu Ying to do?"
Jiang Luo nodded and briefly explained the situation: "Green Stone City has shown signs of demonic energy leaking, which may be caused by the loosening of the seal of the Demon Realm. I need you to go to the border of the Demon Realm immediately to find out the movements of the Demon Realm and see if they are behind all this. In addition, if you find any trace of Ling Wuchen, be careful not to alert him."
Gu Ying smiled slightly, with a bit of confidence in her tone: "Leave it to me, ghost cultivators are like fish in water in the demon world, and gathering information is what I am best at."
Lu Qing also folded his arms confidently and said, "Don't worry, it's just a demon world. I will be careful."
Jiang Luo warned: "Remember, the demon world is extremely dangerous, so you must put your own safety first. If you find anything, notify me immediately and don't act on your own."
The two of them responded in unison: "Understood."
Jiang Luo was not idle either. He arranged for Liu Tong'an to send the students of the Xiuxian Academy to Green Stone City. Although he was also worried about the safety of the students of the Xiuxian Academy, if they were allowed to stay in the safe area forever, they would never make any progress.
However, safety issues still needed to be considered, so Jiang Luo only asked them to follow behind the main force and be responsible for cleaning up the subsequent battlefield.
No matter whether it is the four small teams or the monks on the 2073 world line, their cultivation is not low and is enough to deal with the monsters on the 2073 world line.
In Green Stone City, Lu Qing and Gu Ying have arrived at the location where the demonic energy is leaking. The surging demonic energy makes the already chaotic rules even more chaotic. The demonic shadows in the demonic energy are numerous and seem ready to attack at any time.
Lu Qing took out a magic mask and put it on his face, saying: "This demonic energy is indeed very strong. It should be the demonic energy from the depths of the demon world."
Gu Ying, however, had no reaction to the evil spirit. He was a true ghost cultivator, a top-level mortal ghost who had cultivated after death. Neither the evil spirit nor the evil spirit had any effect on him.
Gu Ying said, "Yuan Haokun and the others are going to attack the spirit stone. After the spirit stone is shattered, the chaotic rules will be corrected, and then we can clean up the evil spirits. You stay here and don't let them cross the city's defense line. I have to find out where the evil spirit is leaking."
