Slay by Command Token
A dozen or so men dressed as generals rode up the hillside, led by the very same general who resembled Zhang Fei. The dozen or so riders lined up in a menacing line, and the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist were so frightened that they all took a step back, while Kou Xuehua and the others were not afraid at all.
Yue Qianchou walked slowly towards the dozen or so riders. When Zhang Fei's general saw it was Yue Qianchou, he was immediately taken aback and said, "Mr. Yue!"
The other generals exchanged bewildered glances. Sai Zhang Fei was the first to dismount and clasp his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Yue." All the generals dismounted and clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Yue." Yue Qianchou's song that day had completely won them over, and given his good relationship with the Ghost General, a greeting was naturally inevitable.
The Three Saints of the Spirit Mist breathed a sigh of relief. Bi Changchun's disciple's influence was indeed great. These ghost generals had the same cultivation level as the late Ghost King stage, and any one of them could easily kill them. They didn't know what was going on, but they had surrounded Lingwu Mountain today. Fortunately, Yue Qianchou was here.
"No need for formalities," Yue Qianchou said, gesturing with his hand. "What brings you here today?"
Sai Zhang Fei didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Today we received a report from our scouts that the Spiritual Qi here is fluctuating greatly, Great General specifically ordered us to come and investigate the situation."
"So that's how it is." Yue Qianchou glanced down the mountain. Damn it! They really have nothing better to do than make such a big fuss to find out what's going on. But I guess it's because I broke through the cave and moved the Spirit Stone.
Yue Qianchou turned to Kou Xuehua and the others and said with a gentle smile, "You go down the mountain first, I will come later."
The group readily complied, passing through the dozen or so riders without anyone stopping them. Seeing Yue Qianchou's gentle smile, and then watching Kou Xuehua and the others walk away, leaving only the three of them, she felt a little lonely. Seeing the line of ghost generals, she suddenly felt uneasy. Weren't they supposed to be digging for twenty days' Spirit Stone? After a few thoughts, her face turned deathly pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "Please, sir, spare the three of us. It was my fault just now; I shouldn't have tried to trick you."
Hou Daquan and Huang Erwei were still completely baffled. Seeing that Yue Qianchou was still smiling, they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They couldn't see anything wrong with Yue Qianchou!
Yue Qianchou turned and walked towards the generals, his smile instantly turning sinister. As he walked, he said, "Hong Sanniang, don't you think it's too late? If everyone could just apologize after making a mistake and everything would be fine, wouldn't the world be at peace? What would be the point of fighting and killing?"
"No!" Hong Sanniang cried out in panic, "Please, sir, spare San Niang this time." As she spoke, she ran over to pull Yue Qianchou.
"You audacious fiend! How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Yue!" Sai Zhang Fei roared, stepping aside to Yue Qianchou's path. With a "whoosh," half of his battle sword was drawn from his waist. In an instant, more than a dozen pairs of murderous eyes were fixed on Hong Niangzi.
"Third Sister knows she was wrong, Third Sister really knows she was wrong, please, sir, spare me!" Hong Sanniang staggered back. At this moment, Hou Daquan and Huang Erwei also realized something was wrong, and were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. In front of a group of generals with the cultivation level of the late Ghost King stage, there was no way to escape!
"I beg you generals to exterminate these three demons on the spot, leaving none alive," Yue Qianchou said coldly as he turned around.
These words startled the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist. The ghost generals, however, were taken aback. "We protect you out of respect, what right do you have to order us around?" they thought. Turning around, they saw Yue Qianchou slowly raising a dark token. They were immediately startled and cried out in unison, "Your subordinates obey!"
More than a dozen shadowy figures with late Ghost King stage cultivation rushed towards the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist. The screams stopped abruptly as a cloud of blood mist dissipated. The three demons didn't even have a chance to fight back, and their corpses were nowhere to be found.
The image of Hong Sanniang's ample breasts, plump hips, and seductive smile flashed through Yue Qianchou's mind. He shook his head and sighed, "What a pity for those breasts. I was originally planning to take them into my service. Why flaunt such a little cleverness? You only have yourself to blame!"
A dozen or so ghost generals flashed back, clasped their fists in unison, indicating that they had completed their mission. Yue Qianchou nodded approvingly. Military-style management is truly excellent! Orders are issued like mountains, and they attack wherever they are told, without any room for discussion. It seems I'll have to create an army in the Cultivation World too!
"There's a Spirit Stone mine at the foot of this mountain. Now that the three demons are dead, your Great General can take over." Yue Qianchou thought to himself, thinking that Meng Yan was getting a free ride.
"Uh... is it Spirit Stone mine? Great General, I thought some treasure was about to be discovered." Sai Zhang Fei said regretfully. Spirit Stone are of no use to ghost cultivators. What they need is Yin Qi, not Spiritual Qi.
However, he gestured to the men around him, and the generals immediately dispersed to search, clearly wanting to verify whether Yue Qianchou's words were true. Sai Zhang Fei turned back and smiled apologetically, "Please don't be offended, sir. It's not that I don't believe you, but I have military orders to carry out and must be cautious."
"So that's why we're making such a big fuss!" Yue Qianchou said, waving his hand and smiling, indicating his understanding. "So, that guy Meng Yan was after treasure. He's got nothing of value. But you're too late; I've already taken all the valuables." He added, "If soldiers can't even be careful, they might as well just slit their own throats and avoid the humiliation of defeat." He admired this quality.
"Huh!" Sai Zhang Fei suddenly asked in surprise, "Sir, according to our information, didn't you all go back? How come there are still a few of you left?"
Yue Qianchou laughed and said, "Then your information must be wrong. I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?"
"No!" Sai Zhang Fei waved his hand confidently and said, "Even if our information is wrong, Demon King Ao Li wouldn't talk nonsense. He's still with the Great General. I heard him say it myself. He fought with several experts from Fu Xian Island the day before yesterday, and both sides suffered some losses. At the same time, I received news from my scouts that there are only six people left on 'Cloud Sky Peak'. The others have all left."
"Is Demon King Ao Li one of the Ten Demon King of the Demon Ghost Domain?"
"Indeed, he and the Great General are the Co-lord of this place, and the two are sworn brothers."
Yue Qianchou's face twitched as he said, "No way! He's really gone?"
"Sir, there's no need to doubt. How could we possibly keep such a large target from leaving the Demon Ghost Domain? But sir, there's no need to worry. The six people on 'Cloud Sky Peak' might just be waiting for you." Sai Zhang Fei comforted him.
Yue Qianchou was still a little confused about what was going on.
At this moment, several ghost generals who had scattered to search returned, all indicating that there was nothing there, only a Spirit Stone mine. Sai Zhang Fei nodded, confirming that Yue Qianchou had indeed said the same thing.
"Sir, are you going back?" Sai Zhang Fei asked.
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Everyone has gone back, so naturally we should go back too."
"If you don't mind, sir, I can escort you on your way back before I return to report."
Seeing his sincerity, Yue Qianchou thought to himself, "It would be best if you escorted me, so I wouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong." He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, General. I'll call my fellow disciples first."
With them around, Yue Qianchou had nothing to fear. He flew down the mountain on his sword and found Kou Xuehua and the others. They asked what had happened with the screams on the mountain earlier. Yue Qianchou only said that the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist had been killed by a group of ghost generals, without revealing that he had ordered it. This caused those who already had some connection with Hong Sanniang to sigh in dismay. When they learned that the disciples from various sects had already returned, they were even more astonished. Then, escorted by Sai Zhang Fei and four ghost generals, they flew towards 'Cloud Sky Peak' without any hesitation.
