Through these totem-level undead, Zheng Dong further controlled more overlord-level undead.
These overlord-level undead were almost all under the command of these totem-level undead.
In this way, Zheng Dong could sideline the Tower Lord of the Town Blood Pagoda.
But it was not yet time to do so.
There was no need to do so.
He wanted to control more undead and understand what these followers of the Nether Ghost King God were doing.
After that, he left the Town Blood Pagoda and rushed to the next ghost tower.
One by one, the ghost towers were slowly brought under his control.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Zheng Dong had controlled four ghost towers, but he was still far from his goal.
He prepared to continue his actions.
Unfortunately, Ming Cheng did not give him so much time.
After rescuing the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor, Ming Cheng continued to perfect the grand formation for resurrecting the Nether Ghost King God.
Ming Cheng also quickly completed the final finishing touches.
Next, he needed to find Zheng Dong and the others to begin the resurrection of the Nether Ghost King God.
Ming Cheng summoned the tower lords of all the ghost towers and ordered them to find Zheng Dong and the others as soon as possible.
Shen Jiuxiao, Wei Yi, and others, who had been brought by Zheng Dong to the vicinity of the Wandering Soul Prison, could initially endure it and stayed in the lair of the totem-level undead.
But after a few days, they couldn't stand it anymore.
Wei Yi was the first to go out.
Her logic was simple: hiding would never solve the problem.
They could not stay in the Nether Ghost King Realm forever.
Only by going out to find a solution and eliminating the hidden danger on Zheng Dong could they get out.
Moreover, she felt that she was not the target of the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor and other undead, so she had nothing to fear.
After Wei Yi and Professor Nong Xiu left.
Shi Qian also went to wander around the Wandering Soul Prison.
Finally, Shen Jiuxiao could not resist leaving.
But she was still worried about Shen Bing and Shen Xue.
"You two stay here obediently and wait for me to come back," Shen Jiuxiao said.
Shen Xue pouted.
"No, I'm going too. I'm suffocating here."
Shen Bing, on the other hand, was more sensible. She frowned and said:
"Mom, you should all be patient. We don't know what the situation is outside right now. What if the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor is still looking for us?"
Shen Jiuxiao hesitated and looked at Zheng Dong's clone.
"You brat, you brought us here. After so many days, do you know what the situation outside is?"
Zheng Dong's clone shook his head.
"I don't know either. Why don't you go out after Wei Yi and the others return?"
"With them like that, who knows when they'll be back?" Shen Jiuxiao said unhappily.
Zheng Dong's clone did not speak anymore.
After all, he was just a clone, and his only task was to replace the main body and not be seen by Shen Jiuxiao and the others.
Shen Jiuxiao pondered for a while and decided to go out and take a look herself, asking Shen Bing to help keep an eye on Shen Xue.
Shen Bing looked helpless and had to grab Shen Xue's arm.
Shen Jiuxiao took the opportunity to go outside.
This time, she discovered that they were in a deep ravine.
They had been hiding in an underground cave in the deep ravine.
No wonder they felt so stifled!
This brat didn't even find a better place.
Shen Jiuxiao glanced around and then quickly left.
Not long after, she arrived at the ghost market near the Wandering Soul Prison.
The ghost market here was also very chaotic.
If you wanted something, you had to barter.
Of course, if you were strong enough, you could also take it by force.
Shen Jiuxiao sneaked into the ghost market mainly to gather information and did not intend to exchange any supplies.
However, shortly after entering the ghost market, she was targeted.
In fact, it couldn't be blamed on her.
She was targeted because Wei Yi and the others had been discovered.
The other party did not take action but sent out more undead.
Including three quasi-god level undead.
These three quasi-god level undead were all tower lords, and they had rushed over specifically under Ming Cheng's orders.
They did not attack Shen Jiuxiao immediately.
Instead, they expected Shen Jiuxiao to lead them to find the others.
But neither Shen Jiuxiao nor Wei Yi and the others had any intention of returning.
They each headed in different directions, and whenever they encountered a ghost market, they would go to join the fun.
The three quasi-god level undead did not wait foolishly.
They sent people to follow Shen Jiuxiao and Wei Yi and the others.
At the same time, they sent people to search for Zheng Dong and the others nearby.
They felt that since Shen Jiuxiao and Wei Yi and the others could appear nearby, Zheng Dong and the others should also be nearby.
After searching for a long time, they actually found the cave where Zheng Dong and the others were hiding.
The cave was hidden in a dark and damp deep ravine.
The environment inside the cave was relatively better than that in the deep ravine.
After all, this was once the territory of a totem-level undead.
A quasi-god level undead, the Night Hunter King, came to the outside of the cave alone.
It looked like a human, two meters tall, holding an axe in its left hand and a scythe in its right.
It raised its scythe and swung it gently.
Instantly, a black light flashed, and the defensive barrier outside the cave was shattered by its strike.
Then, it walked into the cave.
Inside the cave, Zheng Dong's clone heard the commotion and grabbed Shen Bing and Shen Xue, preparing to use spatial teleportation to leave.
However, the Night Hunter King arrived too quickly and blocked their path directly.
"Heh heh, perfect, you're all here, so I don't have to find you one by one."
The Night Hunter King was more barbaric in its actions than the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor.
It did not consider whether it would damage the vessel for the resurrection of the Nether Ghost King God.
It directly swung its weapon and attacked.
The powerful force shook the entire cave, causing it to collapse.
It seemed that they could no longer stay inside.
Zheng Dong's clone used spatial teleportation to teleport Shen Bing, Shen Xue, and himself out.
However, they were caught up by the Night Hunter King before they could teleport far.
The Night Hunter King was very fast and mastered spatial skills, spatial tracking.
Therefore, it was not enough for Zheng Dong to rely on a single clone to escape it.
Seeing the Night Hunter King catching up, Shen Bing and Shen Xue summoned their pet beasts.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
The Night Hunter King quickly dealt with their pet beasts and knocked them unconscious, preparing to take them to the Soul Town Pagoda.
Zheng Dong's clone also suffered the same attack.
He was also taken to the Soul Town Pagoda together.
The Soul Town Pagoda was the tallest building in the Nether Ghost King Realm.
Some said that Ming Cheng built it to worship the Nether Ghost King God.
In fact, only Ming Cheng knew that this Soul Town Pagoda had existed long ago.
It was very likely cast by the Nether Ghost King God himself.
Ming Cheng did not know the specific situation.
He was just a pure executor who had been brainwashed by the Faith Holy Stele.
As the Night Hunter King brought Zheng Dong's clone, Shen Bing, and Shen Xue over, Ming Cheng also summoned the tower lords of the other ghost towers to rush to the Soul Town Pagoda.
In addition to these tower lords, their subordinates, including all totem-level undead and overlord-level undead, had to come to the foot of the Soul Town Pagoda.
For this purpose, Ming Cheng activated the teleportation arrays hidden in various places.
Through the teleportation arrays, the undead from the eighteen ghost towers could be quickly gathered.
However, this also attracted the attention of the Ghost Messenger Hall.
The hall masters of the Soul Refining Hall, the Wandering Soul Hall, the Ghost Extreme Hall, and other ghost messenger halls also gathered and communicated with each other.
"Damn it, what are these Ming God believers up to again?" cursed the Hall Master of the Soul Mountain Hall.
"What else could they be doing? Besides trying to resurrect the Ming God, what else can they do?" said the Hall Master of the Sea Soul Hall.
The other hall masters nodded slightly. The Hall Master of the Soul Heart Hall interjected:
"Does Brother Haihun have any news?"
The Hall Master of the Sea Soul Hall looked at the Hall Master of the Soul Heart Hall, whose head was the only thing left, and did not mock his injury or look down on him.
It continued:
"My people have infiltrated the Soul Town Pagoda. According to the latest news, Ming Cheng has completed his preparations and is about to resurrect the Ming God.
Therefore, we must not hold back this time. We must eliminate all undead related to the ghost towers."
What it said was not wrong.
There were those who were willing to contribute, but there were more who did not want to suffer losses.
Originally, the thirteen ghost messenger halls managed the entire Nether Ghost King Realm with great prestige, but it was not because of internal strife that their managed territory became smaller and smaller.
It was impossible to unite again.
At this moment, the Hall Master of the Nether Hall spoke.
"I think it's not enough for us alone. We still need to contact the็ฑ็ of the ghost prisons. With them as cannon fodder, we will have more confidence.
Most importantly, they also do not want the Ming God to be resurrected!
If the Ming God is resurrected, they will be the first to be sacrificed to restore their strength, and then they will attack us."
"Then, as usual, notify them to act together!"
...
On the other side, Shen Jiuxiao, Wei Yi, and the others were not doing well either.
Shen Jiuxiao was targeted by a quasi-god level undead and taken to the Soul Town Pagoda.
Wei Yi and the others were targeted by another quasi-god level undead.
Even with Wei Yi, Professor Nong Xiu, Shi Qian, and Xiang Ruo Chuanqi together, they could not escape.
They were all captured in one go.
Zheng Dong's main body received the news quickly.
Immediately, he rushed to the Soul Town Pagoda.
Using spatial teleportation all the way, when he arrived outside the Soul Town Pagoda, Wei Yi and the others were just being escorted into the Soul Town Pagoda.
Although Zheng Dong was not familiar with the Soul Town Pagoda, many of the totem-level undead he controlled had been assigned to various floors within the Soul Town Pagoda.
This made it easier for him to find Wei Yi and the others.
Zheng Dong disguised himself as an undead and, following a totem-level undead, sneaked into the Soul Town Pagoda.
The Soul Town Pagoda was very tall, and the space inside was also very large.
Walking into the Soul Town Pagoda, one could see a sky full of stars.
This was completely different from the scene seen outside.
Countless starlight shone into the Soul Town Pagoda through the windows of each floor.
Gathering together, they lit up this Soul Town Pagoda.
Zheng Dong could see that the Soul Town Pagoda was carved with strange patterns. Under the starlight, these patterns seemed to come alive, making the Soul Town Pagoda look eerie and strange.
The totem-level undead that Zheng Dong was following was a Hell Ghoul.
Its strength was very strong.
When Zheng Dong had Youyou convert it into an undead puppet, he used multiple totem-level undead to occupy it.
Led by the Hell Ghoul, he sneaked into the second floor.
There were also many undead on the second floor, most of them at the King or Emperor level.
Zheng Dong did not linger too much and had the Hell Ghoul continue upwards.
After all, Shen Jiuxiao and Wei Yi and the others would not be locked up on the lower floors.
They would definitely be on the upper floors.
After all, his clone was also locked up with Shen Bing and Shen Xue.
He could sense the location of his clone.
The higher he went, the higher the level of the undead grew, and the fewer there were.
The entire Soul Town Pagoda was one hundred and eight floors high, piercing the sky, and many places were not even allowed for totem-level undead.
This meant that after the eighteenth floor, Zheng Dong would have to search on his own.
The Hell Ghoul could not go any higher.
As for what the upper floors were for, no one could say for sure.
Zheng Dong condensed numerous clones and used the combination skill Ultimate Disguise to search layer by layer as he moved upwards.
On the seventy-second floor, Zheng Dong found the injured Wei Yi and the others.
They were all in a state of severe injury and unconsciousness, thrown on the ground like dead dogs.
After all, they were not vessels and had no value.
It was already good that they were still alive.
However, at their current state, if they remained unconscious, they would likely be in mortal danger soon.
Zheng Dong glanced around.
Wei Yi's injuries were the most severe.
Next was Xiang Ruo Chuanqi.
Professor Nong Xiu was better, with no life-threatening danger.
Shi Qian's condition was unclear.
He was like a dead person.
Shen Jiuxiao possessed the bloodline power of the Undying Nether Phoenix. Although she was unconscious, her body was slowly recovering.
After some deliberation, Zheng Dong decided to save Wei Yi first.
Of course, it was not because Wei Yi was beautiful.
This woman herself was very capable. If she was saved, she could save others.
Zheng Dong had Ling'er use the combination skill Ultimate Regeneration to quickly heal Wei Yi's injuries.
Gradually, Wei Yi regained consciousness.
After eating a few more nutrient fruits and healing fruits, she returned to normal.
"You saved me?" Wei Yi said, staring at Zheng Dong with her beautiful eyes.
"How do you feel?" Zheng Dong nodded slightly.
"Thank you!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
As she spoke, she glanced around and then at Professor Nong Xiu and the others. She still didn't know she was in the Soul Town Pagoda.
She had been carried like a corpse all the way here.
After understanding the current situation, Wei Yi frowned.
"Why do I feel like we're in big trouble?
However, fortunately, the Soul Town Pagoda is not completely controlled by anyone, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find this place, and you would have been discovered by those undead," Wei Yi said.
"This Soul Town Pagoda is very unusual. It looks the same as other ghost towers, but it has fundamental differences. It seems to be a dormant divine artifact.
Of course, none of this is important. What's important is that they actually want to resurrect the Nether Ghost King God and use me, Shen Bing, and Shen Xue as vessels for the resurrection of the Nether Ghost King God.
What do you think we should do now?" Zheng Dong said.
In fact, Zheng Dong already had some plans in mind. He asked Wei Yi to see if she had any special ideas.
Wei Yi's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she said:
"They will definitely need to select, and in the end, only one vessel will be left.
That is to say, among the three of you, two will be left. And as far as I know, the Nether Ghost King God is more likely to be female, which means you are in more danger.
Also, as a vessel for the resurrection of the Nether Ghost King God, there cannot be any damage. I wonder if they know about the resentment ghost rings in your bodies?"
Zheng Dong shook his head.
He also didn't know much. All the information he had obtained so far was through the totem-level undead he controlled.
Some of these undead had good relationships with the tower lords of their respective ghost towers and had obtained some information.
But not much, and they didn't know how they would use these so-called vessels.
However, it was likely that they would find out soon.
After all, to resurrect the Nether Ghost King God, the first thing to solve would be these vessels.
As expected, not long after, his clone sent a message.
Ming Cheng came before his clone, Shen Bing, and Shen Xue and took out the Faith Holy Goblet.
Because Shen Bing and Shen Xue were still unconscious.
Ming Cheng made the first move to awaken the two of them.
Then, he prepared to use the Faith Holy Goblet to brainwash them.
