Tactical matters were always handled by Liu Buli, and Lu Wuming would follow his arrangements.
It was the same now.
Although he was a little displeased, it was Liu Buli's request.
Besides, even if he were to think about it himself, he couldn't come up with a better plan.
So, he could only obediently follow Liu Buli's arrangements and silently pray in his heart, hoping that the other party could complete his mission as planned.
When Liu Buli rushed into the midst of the ghosts, they did tense up. But they soon realized that Liu Buli's target was not them, and by the time they wanted to pursue, it was already a bit too late.
Lu Wuming's ghost claws had already attacked, and Thirteen and Shen Muzhi were also helping to deal with them.
As a result, the ghosts had no choice but to divert all their attention back to them, giving up on thinking about Liu Buli and the other who had just rushed past.
The first step of the plan had been achieved.
Shen Muzhi, while dealing with the enemies around him, asked Thirteen, "Where is that powerful second-year junior you mentioned? Is he among this group?"
Thirteen shook his head, "If he were here, I would have felt it. He is very strong, so you all need to be careful."
Shen Muzhi nodded.
Lu Wuming, however, seemed not to have heard anything. Although his movements did not pause, his gaze was fixed on Liu Buli, looking in the direction he had disappeared, with no intention of moving away.
As for Liu Buli, who was being stared at, he had already taken You Siqi to the side of the Ghost King's palace.
His speed was truly too fast.
After finally stopping, You Siqi's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Liu Buli glanced back at him and said with a hint of amusement, "You're really not cut out for this."
"I'm just an ordinary person, can't you be a little gentler with me?" You Siqi waved his hand and replied casually, then struggled to prop himself up and carefully surveyed the surroundings. They had never approached this palace when they were here last time. Now, looking at it closely, the palace was much larger than they had imagined.
In Liu Buli's plan, Lu Wuming and the others would deal with the ordinary ghosts, while he would confront the Ghost King. As for why he brought You Siqi along, it was to prevent any accidents in the underground palace.
Having an author by his side would be better.
Even if they encountered any insurmountable problems, You Siqi's observations and suggestions would surely help resolve them.
This was the common thought of everyone.
And it was also the result of You Siqi volunteering.
Even though Shen Muzhi was a bit worried and hesitant, everyone else was taking risks, so he couldn't let You Siqi be safe alone. Thus, he could only let it be, and the result was as it was now.
Perhaps because their appearance was too sudden, giving the ghosts no time to prepare, it was only when they reached the palace doors that a woman finally arrived, saying, "What do you think you're doing! This is the Ghost King's territory, how dare you humans approach it!?"
Upon hearing the voice, the two turned to look.
Compared to ordinary ghosts, this woman could be described as well-proportioned.
After all, having a normal appearance was very difficult for ghosts.
They were a little surprised, but when the woman saw their faces, she was even more surprised.
She pointed a finger at Liu Buli's face and mumbled for a long time. Finally, she found a suitable phrase and said, "I remember you! You are the one our young master likes!"
Hearing this, Liu Buli froze.
Then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Well said, I like that way you address me. So, as a reward, I won't kill you. Provided you have some sense and get out of our way, what do you think?"
Liu Buli made no attempt to conceal his current state, and because of this, the overwhelmingly potent demonic energy radiating from him was clearly felt by Chu San.
It was an aura more intense and terrifying than what she had felt from their young master before.
If she were to fight this person, she would definitely have no chance of winning.
But if she didn't fight, the Ghost King wouldn't let her off.
Quickly reaching a conclusion in her mind, Chu San felt incredibly wronged.
She was a support-type character; combat was never her forte. Moreover, now that she had appeared before these people, it was meaningless for her to change her appearance.
Her only means of defense had been rendered useless. If she were to fight now, wouldn't it be tantamount to seeking death?
Looking at Liu Buli with a troubled expression, Thirteen said with a headache, "I think we should just give up. Don't oppose our King, and retreat obediently. I can pretend I didn't see you. This way, there won't be a war, and it's better for everyone. What do you think?"
Liu Buli certainly didn't think this was better.
So, he smiled and drew his sword, using the flat side to smash Chu San hard on the head.
Chu San cooperated perfectly, rolling her eyes and immediately falling unconscious.
You Siqi's eyes widened, "It's over just like that?"
"What else?" Liu Buli shrugged and said, "She has no will to fight, so why should I force her to her death? A besieged enemy must be given a way out; a cornered beast should not be pursued. And you call yourself a novelist, yet you don't understand this simple principle?"
Hearing Liu Buli's words, You Siqi suddenly understood.
But he still shook his head and said, "If you ask me, I think stabbing her to death would be much safer than leaving her alive."
After all, she was a subordinate of the Ghost King, and they were not incapable of killing her. So, leaving one person alive made You Siqi somewhat perplexed.
But it was clear that Liu Buli had considered everything thoroughly.
Hearing You Siqi's words, he merely smiled and said, "If our purpose here was merely to kill, then I certainly wouldn't have spared her. But as I said before, my purpose this time is to overthrow the Ghost King and establish a new regime. Since that is the case, I cannot eliminate all his subordinates. Not only her, but if others are smart enough not to stand in my way, I am willing to give them a chance to live."
As he spoke, Liu Buli turned and pushed open the door to the Ghost King's palace.
At the same time, a muffled voice came from within the palace. He said, "Liu Buli, walking into a trap is not a wise move."
