Chapter 251 The Fifth Innate Lady
"The City of the Wrongly Dead is a forbidden area that I set up. I can't let the ghosts there escape and wreak havoc on the world, so I have to try to seal it off completely. But there are always some powerful ghost controllers who have their own ways to dig out the secrets of the ancient city. I can't control all of them."
Like Zhang Dong, Lu Jingxuan had no expression on his face. He had expected this day to come, but he didn't expect the situation today to have come to this point.
"The City of the Dead is not something I can control. Long before I founded the Xuan Jing Club, I trained five outstanding ghost riders and sent them to the City of the Dead. I called them the 'Five Innates'."
It’s exciting. So exciting.
Chu Xuenian's mouth had turned into an O shape. She was in charge of the club and had good intelligence, but she only knew that five people had entered the City of the Dead, and she did not know the true identities of those five people.
Now that she heard it from Mr. Lu himself, she finally learned the true identities of those five people.
"Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji, the five of them are responsible for maintaining the stability of the ancient city and dealing with the evil spirits that try to escape from the City of Wrongful Death. This is how we can barely maintain the balance."
At this time, Qi Chaosheng stood up decisively, bowed deeply to Mr. Lu, and said respectfully:
"Boss Lu is righteous!"
Qi Chaosheng was crazy, but not stupid. He thought that he had stolen the supernatural power of the mirror, and although he could not suppress everyone, he could at least save his life in most cases.
But the reality gave him a heavy blow. If he was at the top level among the four Si Ming, then Liu San was above the top level, not to mention that there was a very low-key Cao Yang next to him.
He finally understood that if Liu San really wanted to kill him, no one present except Mr. Lu could save him, so he chose to hug his thigh without hesitation.
However, Lu Jingxuan did not cast his gaze towards Qi Chaosheng, but continued to look at the silent Cao Yang and the arrogant Liu San with a somewhat turbid look. Here, the attitude and reaction of the two captains were crucial.
"The final outcome of the supernatural land is bound to be out of control and imbalance. Mr. Lu's behavior is respectable. But ghost riders have their limits after all. In recent times, the Ghost Lake has been out of control and caused supernatural events in various places. I'm afraid the situation in the City of the Dead is not optimistic either."
Cao Yang still had a blank expression on his face, but his words were convincing. The reason why Liu San had to investigate the Wrongful Death City was because the DQ City he was in charge of was just upstream of the Ghost Lake. The lake water contaminated with ghosts was flowing upstream and had affected the stability of the DQ City.
"The source of the ghost den is in Zhongzhou City, where the water system is well developed. The upstream rivers can even be traced back to the snowy plateau. Among the important cities along the way is DQ City, which Captain Liu is in charge of;"
"As for the downstream, Dahan, Dachang, ZS and even Jinling City further east will be affected."
Chu Xuonian's expression was solemn. After Liu San came last time, she had launched an investigation based on the few words revealed by Mr. Lu. Once the Ghost Lake was completely out of control, it could even directly affect the stability of several provinces.
"Indeed, the balance of Ghost Lake is being disrupted, and the situation facing Wu Tai is becoming more critical. Some extremely terrifying ghosts in the lake can even actively influence and invade the City of the Dead. Their workload and the difficulty of their tasks have almost doubled."
Lu Jingxuan did not deny it, but confessed the situation in the city.
"About a month and a half ago, Qin Bansheng, also known as Taiji among the Five Taiji, reported the situation in the City of the Dead to me. That was the last time I contacted them. We have been completely out of touch for the past two months. Apart from being able to confirm that they are still alive, I have not received any further news."
"So even at this point, you're unwilling to let the headquarters try to contact and deal with the City of the Dead?"
Liu San's tone was unfriendly. He had last visited the club about a month and a half ago, but Lu Jingxuan only gave him clues about the ghost lake. Later, he went to Zhongzhou City to investigate and found that the lake was full of evil ghosts, and they were suppressed ghosts. If an ordinary ghost rider sank into the lake, it would be impossible for him to take action again.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Liu San's eyes, the ghost lake is undoubtedly the grave of evil spirits. "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Wrong Dead City is already dangerous and fragile enough. Captain Liu came with such a fierce force that day. I can't figure out your true thoughts, so I can't let you in easily. If the balance of Wrong Dead City is completely broken, I don't have the ability to seal it off now."
Lu Jingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was always willing to be more patient and tolerant towards outstanding juniors.
"I have accepted the task from the headquarters and am responsible for investigating and handling the Ghost Lake incident. Since the Wrongful Death City and the Ghost Lake are involved, I am naturally obliged to handle them together. So, please give me some convenience, Mr. Lu."
Cao Yang took out a document, which was the file of the Guihu incident compiled by Wang Xiaoming. The person in charge of Zhongzhou City had already been caught, and now he was in charge of this incident.
"Do you two really want to go?"
"If the club members are willing to take over the Ghost Lake incident and guarantee that they can solve it, then I am still happy to hand over the credit. After all, there is no supernatural incident without casualties, and I don't want to be the one to die this time."
Although Cao Yang's tone was calm, his words were irrefutable. If the club was really capable of solving the problem of Ghost Lake, Lu Jingxuan would not have sent Wu Tai deep into the Wrongful Death City, let alone list the Wrongful Death City as a forbidden area.
"I understand. If Captain Cao and Captain Liu are ready, I can send you off at any time. However, I can only send you to the lake closest to the ancient city. Whether you can enter the ancient city depends on the abilities of the two captains."
"We'll leave in ten minutes. Liu San and I have something to discuss."
"Captains, please feel free to do as you please."
Then, Cao Yang instantly opened the ghost den and covered Liu San inside.
"Two questions. Did you go to that ancient city to find something, or did you have a clear goal? Second, was it your real body or a paper figurine that went there this time?"
Cao Yang asked with a cold face. Liu San's answer was related to his next action plan. If it was a paper man clone, he would not act with Liu San, and everyone would go their separate ways.
"Of course it's a paper figure, but it's a core paper figure. I'm not naive enough to risk my real body. This time I prepared enough core paper figures. Each of them has about 60% of my supernatural powers, which is enough for me to deal with most dangerous situations."
Liu San pondered for a moment and finally decided not to hide the truth from Cao Yang. The paper man is just a paper man. Since he entered the supernatural circle, he has never shown his true identity to anyone.
Although he could have cut the palm of the core paper man to make the corpse inside bleed and pretend that he was the real person, he did not do so.
"Then we'll go our separate ways. I don't care about your secrets, and I have my own things to deal with."
"Sure, Captain Cao is straightforward."
"I have a paper boat here. Lu Jingxuan said that it can only take us to Ghost Lake. The lake water has a suppressive effect on the supernatural. I have a feeling that this paper boat can be of great help."
As he spoke, Cao Yang took out the black-sailed paper boat that he had bought at the paper-making shop for three yuan. His intuition told him that this paper boat would be useful soon.
