The Abandoned Temple

"Sir, we've caught a spy."

Just as Gu Xi was observing the Wild Temple in front of him, Robbie arrived with several Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman.

He was carrying a man dressed in a Daoist robe.

It is obvious that the man is alive.

He was still struggling when he was arrested.

"I'm not a spy, I'm not a spy!"

Robbie didn't stand on ceremony with the guy, picked him up and brought him to Gu Xi, then slammed him to the ground.

The man rolled on the ground, trying to get up, but two heavy swords were pressed down on his neck.

Faced with this situation, the man was almost in tears.

"No, you can't do this, I'm really not a spy."

Gu Xi glanced at him and said, "Tell me, who are you? Don't lie to me. You're already on your Yellow Springs Road, I don't mind sending you a little further."

"I am a Daoist priest from the Kaisan Sect. I originally intended to travel to the underworld through the Yellow Springs Wild Temple, but who would have thought that the Yellow Springs Wild Temple would be occupied by someone else? My Yin Walk Thread is still here, and I can only stay here indefinitely."

"Walking in the underworld?"

Gu Xi immediately knew that the so-called "Yellow Springs Wild Temple" referred to the Wild Temple in front of him, but Gu Xi was really not familiar with the situation of walking in the underworld.

He had only heard of it, but it was not within the scope of necromancers.

A necromancer doesn't need to go through the trouble of walking through the underworld to enter the Underworld.

"Yes, our Kaisan Sect mainly makes a living by walking through the underworld to help people contact their families or to find medicines in the Underworld. We have professional methods and arrangements for walking through the underworld."

Every time we engage in yin-walking, our primary concern is our own safety. In this area, there are very few who surpass the skills of our Kaisan Sect.

Seeing that Gu Xi could communicate, the man began to boast.

However, as he played, the sound grew softer and softer.

Because he noticed the impatience in Gu Xi's eyes.

"You just said your Yin Walk Thread is here, what do you mean by that?"

"That's right. Our journey to the underworld is different from yours, where your physical body directly enters the Yellow Springs. We enter the Yellow Springs as souls. To ensure that we don't get lost on the Yellow Springs Road, we usually open the Yellow Springs Road in a specific Daoist temple or Buddhist monastery."

And at the entrance to the Yellow Springs Road, a ball of red thread was left behind.

This is our "Yin Walk Thread." Once we enter the Yellow Springs Road, as long as the red thread is still there, we can find our way back and won't get lost in the Yellow Springs.

Gu Xi understood the situation immediately upon hearing this, and he greatly admired the people of the Kaisan Sect.

This is clearly a prime example of abusing public resources for private gain.

Originally, the Wild Temple on the Yellow Springs Road were for the resting of the dead who could not walk. Resting in the Wild Temple would spare the dead from the suffering of their souls being weakened, and they could even recover some of their spiritual impurities.

However, the Kaisan Sect used this Wild Temple as a landmark, using it to enter and exit the Yellow Springs.

Its function then becomes similar to the ghost village in Gu Xi's hands.

This is like a street lamp that's supposed to be for nighttime illumination, but someone comes along, pulls an extension cord from it, and charges their electric scooter.

It could be considered profiting at the expense of the public, but you usually can't find any evidence to prove it.

Gu Xi naturally wouldn't interfere in such matters, as it wasn't his business; he simply asked a question.

"But if you do this, you have to come out the same way you came in, right?"

"Uh, yes, you have to come out the same way you came in. The Yellow Springs Wild Temple has been occupied, and I can't go back now. If this drags on, I really won't be able to return to life."

Sirs, you came here on a mission from the Soul Gathering Ground, right?

I can help you.

Gu Xi glanced at the man, and without much hesitation, extended his hand and said, "Undead Breath, Gu Xi."

"Oh, the Yellow-Robed Daoist of the Kaisan Sect, Chi Mu. You may call me Chi Mu or Small Eyes, sir."

The man honestly gave his name.

"Chi Mu? Do you know what's occupying this Wild Temple?"

"I'm not sure. I've sneaked in a few times before and found that it seems to be a demon."

"One?"

Gu Xi didn't ask what kind of demon it was; in his eyes, it was at most a level 15 creature.

He had already fought Gu Xi of the Evil God Temple before, so what kind of demon could possibly catch his eye?

"Yes, there is one, but it is extremely powerful. Moreover, it can control our Yin Walk Thread. We are no match for it at all. Instead, it uses the Yin Walk Thread."

Hearing this, Gu Xi turned to look at Chi Mu again, "How come your Yin Walk Thread have this function?"

"We didn't want that either, but in order to Yin Walk Thread back safely, we soaked the lines in some special materials when we made them to ensure that they wouldn't Yin Walk Thread suddenly."

These materials inevitably contain some rather unusual elements.

"Okay, so can I understand it this way: the souls you're talking about Yin Walk Thread aren't actually the enemy?"

When Gu Xi asked him this question, Chi Mu became somewhat confused.

"I don't specialize in these things. I only know how to use the Yin Walk Thread a specific line in Chinese astrology), but I'm not sure whether the souls controlled by the Yin Walk Thread."

"Alright, asking you is pointless. Here's what we'll do: you just follow behind me. While I'm attacking the city, you can try to free the trapped souls. That would make things much easier for us, wouldn't it?"

Chi Mu had an expression that said, "You make so much sense," but you could tell from his eyes that he hadn't understood a word he said.

Gu Xi didn't have time to pay much attention to Chi Mu. After having Robbie take Chi Mu away, Gu Xi began to reorganize his troops.

After receiving the news that the enemy was a powerful demon, Gu Xi had a plan in mind.

If Gu Xi had previously planned for Arroyo to lead the attack before the siege, Gu Xi has now changed his mind.

The Black Spear Camp is suitable for large-scale frontal battles, but a group of Black Spear Camp fighting a single enemy might have some problems.

"Robbie, Bonecleaver Battalion, prepare for battle. Black Spear Camp, retreat. Zombie troops, move in front of Archer Unit. Mages... Yong Dou, drain mana immediately. I don't care what the enemy's situation is, put them into melee mode."

Upon hearing this, Yong Dou, who had already fallen to the rear, quickly led the undead to make arrangements.

Soon, the altar on Yong Dou's side was set up. It was a small, single-level platform made of wood, with a stone furnace in the center and an unused crucible on top.

The four Skeleton Magician Head, along with more than seven hundred Skeleton Mage, all faced the altar.

They were practically all the Skeleton Mage under Gu Xi's command.

They raised their short staffs and aimed them at the center of the altar.

Meanwhile, Yong Dou led more than thirty Skeleton Mage to circle around the altar.

About two minutes later, Yong Dou pointed in the direction of the Wild Temple.

"Extract Mana!"
