639: Chapter 50 Entering Fengdu

"Show your Token!"

Hearing the words of the two Ghost Soldiers, Jing Tian, Xu Changqing, and the others were stunned.

"What Token?" Jing Tian asked subconsciously.

The Ghost Soldier on the left replied, "Naturally, the Underworld Messenger Token. Fengdu's Jile World is a place of residence for the dead who have not yet entered Reincarnation; among the living, only Underworld Messengers may enter. If you do not have an Underworld Messenger Token, leave quickly, otherwise do not blame us for being impolite."

As he spoke, he brandished his weapon, his face radiating Evil Qi.

Jing Tian was startled and took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Meng Li prepared to use Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals to force a way through.

At that moment, the Ghost Soldier on the right seemed to recognize something and said, "Wait a minute, these few seem to be the people the King ordered us to find earlier."

After saying that, he took out three Portraits from his robes and compared them in order with the appearances of Meng Li, Jing Tian, and Xu Changqing, then said with certainty, "That's right."

The Ghost Soldier on the left leaned over to take a look and found that it was indeed so, but...

"Wasn't he just caught and taken inside recently?" The Ghost Soldier on the left pointed at Jing Tian, looking surprised.

Seeing this scene, Jing Tian was completely bewildered.

What people the King ordered to find, and what being caught and taken inside?

Xu Changqing, Xu Maoshan, Tang Xuejian, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui were equally confused.

Only Meng Li understood clearly in his heart.

This matter was orchestrated by Chonglou, though compared to the original story, there was one extra person—himself.

And the Jing Tian that the Ghost Soldiers spoke of being captured was actually Zi Xuan.

This way, it would actually save some effort.

Thinking of this, he dismissed the idea of forcing his way in and said to the two Ghost Soldiers, "Since that's the case, why haven't you quickly taken us to see your King?"

The two Ghost Soldiers were stunned, clearly not expecting Meng Li to actively suggest going to see the Fire Ghost King when he knew he was to be captured.

However, the two ghosts didn't think much of it; in any case, completing the task assigned by their superiors was a good thing for them.

Thus, the Ghost Soldier on the left said, "Then the three of you come with us. But the others are not on the King's list, and without a Token, they may not enter."

As he spoke, he tapped his weapon on the ground.

In the next instant, several Ghost Soldiers emerged from the ground.

Seeing this, Meng Li turned to Hong Kui, Lan Kui, Tang Xuejian, and Xu Maoshan and said, "You all go find an Inn nearby to stay for now. The three of us will be back soon."

"No way." Hong Kui refused without even thinking, then continued, "The Jile World not only has Chonglou but is also the Fire Ghost King's territory; it's full of danger. I won't feel at ease with only you and Brother going."

"But you don't have Tokens and aren't on the list, so you can't get in."

"If we force our way in, things will become even more troublesome."

Meng Li spread his hands and explained.

Hong Kui thought for a moment and pulled Meng Li further away.

Seeing this, the Ghost Soldiers instinctively wanted to stop them.

This was credit being delivered to their door; they couldn't let it run away.

Jing Tian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brothers, don't worry, we are just about to go inside and won't run. That girl in red is my sister, and the one in blue is too. That man is my future brother-in-law; they're all lovey-dovey right now, so he's naturally a bit reluctant to leave her."

Lan Kui's expression froze, and she punched Jing Tian in embarrassment and annoyance: "Brother!"

After saying that, she stomped her foot and turned to run away.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would hear more embarrassing words.

Jing Tian smiled and didn't mind, instead taking the opportunity to say to the Ghost Soldiers, "See, she's still shy. I'll have to trouble you brothers to be a bit flexible and let them say a few words."

Based on Meng Li's performance just now, the two leading Ghost Soldiers felt that he indeed didn't look like he was going to run, and thinking that their King liked handsome men, they nodded.

Anyway, it was just waiting a little longer; it wasn't much trouble.

On the other side, after Hong Kui pulled Meng Li a certain distance away, they reached a corner out of the Ghost Soldiers' sight, and then she turned into a streak of red light and entered Meng Li's body.

This maneuver took Meng Li somewhat by surprise.

Lan Kui, who had instinctively followed after running away in embarrassment, was stunned when she saw this.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Thinking of Jing Tian's words, Lan Kui's cheeks flushed, and she timidly called out to Meng Li: "Elder Brother Meng."

Meng Li smiled and said, "Do you want to come in too?"

"Ah? I don't know how."

"I'll help you," Meng Li said with a smile.

After saying that, he reached out and embraced Lan Kui.

Lan Kui was startled, her face turning even redder. She wanted to say something, but in the next second, under the effect of Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals, she turned into a blue light and entered Meng Li's body.

Immediately, Meng Li turned back and rejoined Jing Tian and the others.

"Where are Hong Kui and Lan Kui?"

Seeing only Meng Li return, Tang Xuejian asked in confusion.

"They went to find an Inn to stay at," Meng Li replied, then added, "You and Maomao should head over quickly as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he used Sound Transmission to Tang Xuejian: "I've used a technique on Hong Kui and Lan Kui, and they are now attached to me. They will enter the Jile World with us shortly. You and Maomao don't need to look for them. But this technique won't work on you and Maomao, so you two should find an Inn to stay at for the time being."

"This is Sound Transmission; you don't need to respond out loud. Just remember to give a slight nod."

Tang Xuejian was slightly taken aback, then gently nodded her head.

Seeing this, Meng Li continued to speak aloud, "Once our business is done, Jing Tian, Daoist Xu, and I will naturally go to the Inn to find you."

"The area around Fengdu is a place where Yin and Yang meet, with a mix of humans and ghosts, making it unsafe at night. But as long as you stay honestly in the Inn, there generally won't be any trouble. So, before we return, no matter what happens, you and Maomao must not leave the Inn."

Then, he took out two triangular Yellow Talismans and handed them to Tang Xuejian and Xu Maoshan. "Take these two Amulets for self-defense."

"Okay."

"Thank you, Grandmaster Meng."

At this point, the leading Ghost Soldier on the left immediately spoke up, "That's enough, come with us."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to lead the way.

The other Ghost Soldiers came forward and surrounded Meng Li, Jing Tian, and Xu Changqing.

Meng Li, Jing Tian, and Xu Changqing followed them into Fengdu.

Tang Xuejian watched their retreating figures, a trace of complexity showing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Maoshan thought she was worried and spoke up to comfort her, "Young Miss, Boss and the others are so powerful, they will surely rescue the person safely. Even if you don't believe in Boss, you have to believe in Grandmaster Meng. They will definitely be fine, you don't need to worry too much."

Tang Xuejian shook her head and said, "I'm not worried. I just feel it's a bit of a regret that I couldn't participate in this rescue mission."

"Alright, enough said, let's go find an Inn to stay at."

"This heroine must Cultivate well and strive to not be left behind the next time something like this happens."

"Sure, once we find an Inn, I can also catch up on some sleep," Xu Maoshan agreed with a smile.

However, just as the two of them left the Checkpoint into Fengdu and reached the street, they heard a shrill voice ring out behind them: "Jie jie, jie jie, little beauty, do you want to go to the Jile World?"

Immediately following that, a strange man with a bald head and a white face, holding a cattail leaf fan, walked over in a sleazy manner, his eyes staring straight at Tang Xuejian.
