There were still more than two hundred miles to go before Shuangye City. Chu Jun finally stopped. He turned to Yang Yun and the others and said, "Everyone, you've worked hard. You can stop camping now."

At this moment, the torrential rain was still raining non-stop. It was about midnight now, and the sky was heavy. The darker the mountain, the more desolate it became. In addition to the heavy rain, there was no way to distinguish between the east and the west. If it wasn't for someone helping, it would definitely be impossible for them to arrive here.

Yang Yun and his subordinates looked down with their eyes full, It rained heavily in the dark night. The visibility was too low. One could vaguely see an open valley below. It was surrounded by tall and dense trees. However, this place was obviously not far from Shuangye City because the spiritual energy in the air was very thin. There was even a deathly smell mixed in here. Moreover, the leaves of those trees were beginning to turn yellow.

Everyone knew that the ghosts would destroy their spirit veins everywhere they went. This would turn this place into a land of death. In places where spiritual energy was scarce, the combat strength of immortal cultivators would be greatly weakened. This was also one of the reasons why humans had lost more and won less in battles against the ghosts.

"Lord Chu, set up camp here. Where are your people?" Jiang Bin asked curiously.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "You guys set up camp first. Our people will arrive soon!"

The crowd became even more suspicious. Yang Yun released his divine sense and scanned the area for several miles. However, he did not discover that the disciples of the Flower Sect and the Tree Sect were ambushing around. He also did not know what medicine Chu Jun was selling in his gourd.

Yang Yun looked at the terrain and finally chose to station the 20,000 Azure Dragon Army at the waist of the mountain behind the valley.

The Azure Dragon Army was indeed an elite force. It took only half an hour to set up the camp and set up various restrictions and concealment formations. The concealment formations were ordinary concealment formations and divine sense shielding formations. This way, it could prevent divine sense from sweeping hundreds of kilometers away from enemy experts. However, this kind of concealment array hastily set up was not very practical. Once the other party's scouts hid nearby, they would still be able to easily detect it. However, the ghost scouts probably hid back in Shuangye City to shoot cannons in this heavy rain that covered the heavens and earth.

The Azure Dragon Army had already set up the camp, but the troops Chu Jun had mentioned had yet to appear. Lu Xun couldn't help but ask, "Lord King Chu, why hasn't your troops appeared yet? Are you trying to trick us?"

Chu Jun chuckled and said, "Soon, wait!"

In Shuangye City .

The deputy commander of the ghost race, Gui Dongya, was sitting in the main seat of the hall with a large horse and a golden blade. In the hall, there were more than a dozen high-ranking ghost race generals seated according to their positions of superiority and inferiority.

The heavy rain outside the hall knocked on the steps, and the ghost aura inside the hall was gloomy.

Gui Dongya's expression was gloomy as he looked at the similarly gloomy sky outside. The upper echelons of the ghost race in the hall didn't dare to speak. Last time, they suffered a huge defeat in the Guizhen Mountain Range and lost nearly half of their troops. Lord Shuai Zuo was in a bad mood. Therefore, everyone had a hard time these days. They were scolded and trained for being careless. Today, they received news that the humans of Beast Control City had actually driven tens of thousands of ferocious beasts to attack this place. No one dared to express their opinions rashly.

At this moment, a ball of ghost mist flew in from outside the hall and instantly transformed into an ugly long-haired, red-eyed ghost captain. His entire body was drenched in water. It was obvious that he had just returned from spying on information from outside.

"Reporting to Lord Marshal, the people from the Beast Controlling Sect are driving fifty to sixty thousand spirit beasts towards this place. They are already three hundred miles away!" The ghost captain said loudly.

"How many human cultivators are there? Do you have a regular army?" Gui Dongya asked in a deep voice.

"They are all disciples of the Beast Controlling Sect, only about 15,000 people. No regular army has been discovered!"

The ghosts in the hall couldn't help but be in an uproar. They were too arrogant. They actually braved the storm to attack Shuangye City . There were only ten thousand mobs. In addition, there were tens of thousands of beasts wanting to attack Shuangye City . They didn't put the Great Ghost Race in their eyes. They were simply courting death.

"Marshal, give this general thirty thousand troops. I guarantee that these arrogant humans will come and go!"

"Marshal, twenty thousand troops is enough. These damned human cultivators won a small victory in their territory last time, yet they are so arrogant. It's time to give them a head-on blow!"

All the ghost generals were clamoring to exterminate the invading humans!

Gui Dongya's expression was calm. Last time, the Guizhen Mountain Range had let him realize that human cultivators were obviously not all straw bags that could be retreated at a single touch. That person had caused him to lose nearly half of his troops in the battle. This lesson was not heavy.

During this period of time, Gui Dongya had worked hard to investigate. He finally knew that the person who defeated him was called Chu Jun. This person's reputation in the human world was very great. He immediately found out that this fellow was called Chu Shaxing . There were three Soul Concentration State Lords who had died at his hands. No wonder he was so strong. One person and one spear traveled through his army and was unstoppable.

Gui Dongya also inquired, Ghost King Lie, the son of the Marshal Ghost King Halberd, almost died under Chu Shaxing 's hands. Afterwards, it seemed that it was because Ghost King Lie had helped a human woman who happened to be the woman of Chu Shaxing that he was able to save her life. Such a person made Gui Dong Ya's heart tremble with fear. This was also the reason why he had never counterattacked Beast Controlling City. He did not expect that Chu Shaxing would actually take the initiative to attack him.

Gui Dongya did not think that Chu Jun was a fool. Otherwise, he would not have lived to this point and even done so many great things. Therefore, the other party could not be foolish enough to think that he could defeat 60,000 to 70,000 elites with just tens of thousands of spirit beasts. The other party definitely had a way to go.

When the ghost generals saw Gui Dongya, they didn't say anything. They just pondered and gradually calmed down. Their gazes gathered together.

Gui Dongya only instructed the scout, "Continue to scout. Send out all of our spies. We should find out the situation within a radius of 500 kilometers of Shuangye City . There shouldn't be the slightest slip-up!"

The ghost captain scout agreed to retreat. Soon, thousands of ghost mist rushed out of Shuangye City and scattered in all directions, quickly disappearing into the torrential rain.

About half an hour later, ghost scouts returned one after another and flew into the hall like snowflakes.

"Reporting to Marshal, we haven't found anything within a hundred miles to the east!"

"Reporting to Marshal, we haven't found anything within a hundred miles to the south!"

"Reporting to Marshal, we haven't found anything within two hundred miles to the south!"

"…"

Hundreds of scouts reported that they hadn't found anything, but Gui Dongya became more and more uneasy. The more he didn't find anything, the deeper the other party hid, and the more uncertain the situation was, the more dangerous it would be.

At this time, another scout flew in, ignoring his wet body and panting, "Reporting to Marshal, two hundred miles northwest, we found the enemy concealed!"

The ghost generals in the hall were shocked, but Gui Dongya heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, he finally found them. He sat up straight and asked, "How many people are there?"

'"The number of people is probably no less than 30,000. The rain is too heavy to see the exact number. Furthermore, the other party has an extremely powerful anti-marquis hunter. This subordinate and several of his brothers were killed when they tried to get close to him. This subordinate escaped with all his might!" The ghost scout shouted, "It's definitely the Azure Dragon Army!"

A high-level ghost general's expression darkened as he shouted, "Bullshit! If you continue to probe, you must find out the exact number of ghost generals!"

The ghost scout was so frightened that he immediately retreated.

"Cunning humans really want to take advantage of the heavy rain to launch a sneak attack. Those Spirit Beast Armies of the Beast-controlling Sect are just pawns that they have obviously tempted us with. The ones who really killed them are probably the Azure Dragon Army and the damn Azure Dragon Army. They quietly sneaked two hundred miles away!" The high-ranking ghost general shouted loudly.

The other ghost generals also nodded with lingering fear. Tens of thousands of Azure Dragon Army had actually sneaked two hundred miles away from Shuangye City. Once everyone went out of the city to deal with the spirit beasts with all their might, and this elite Azure Dragon Army suddenly attacked from the side, they would be caught off guard. Humans were indeed cunning. Fortunately, Lord Marshal was wise. The scouts of the police finally discovered the enemy's plot.

"Lord Shuai Zuo, what should we do now? The other party will arrive here soon!" A hot-blooded ghost woman with half-exposed breasts asked.

This ghost woman was actually a high-ranking ghost governor, which was equivalent to a late-stage God Refining cultivator. No wonder she was qualified to sit in front.

Gui Dongya was exceptionally calm at this moment. What he feared the most was that the enemy's situation was unknown, Now that the enemy is clear, He was no longer worried at all. He calmly said, "Chu Jun wants to surprise us. Now that we've seen through him, they won't have a chance to take advantage of him. According to my expectations, the Azure Dragon Army hiding 200 kilometers away is Yang Yun's batch of disabled soldiers. There's no need to be afraid with the strength of our city, let alone our reinforcements!"

The ghost woman said happily, "Commander, is Young Marshal Ghost King Lie's reinforcements here?"

"We should be arriving soon. Even if the heavy rain slows down the journey, we will arrive in two hours!" Gui Dongya said indifferently.

"Haha, these damned humans, let them come back this time!" A ghost general gritted his teeth and said.

"That's right, we'll defend the city. Once the young marshal's army arrives, we'll join forces and annihilate them!" Another ghost general also cried out excitedly.

Gui Dongya said indifferently, "No, the opponent's forces will soon arrive. This marshal has decided to take the initiative to attack!"

The ghost generals couldn't help but be puzzled. The high-ranking ghost general asked, "Marshal, since the other party is preparing to launch a sneak attack, why are we still being tricked?"

The ghost woman's eyes turned and she said, "Gui Wuhei, Marshal, this is called scheming!"

Gui Dongya looked at her approvingly and nodded, "Mother Gui Chunniang is right. I just want to play along. Gui Wuhei, bring 30,000 troops to face the mob from the Beast Controlling Sect. I will personally lead 30,000 troops to ambush their ambush!"

The eyes of the ghost generals immediately lit up. This trap was high. The Azure Dragon Army was hiding two hundred miles away, preparing to launch a sneak attack. They definitely didn't expect a counterattack from their side. Moreover, with this heavy rain covering them, the Azure Dragon Army definitely thought that they hadn't been discovered. By the time they reacted, Marshal Zuo's army had already arrived in front of them.

Gui Dongya stood up and said to the ghost woman, "Gui Chunniang, stay in the city and wait for the arrival of Young Marshal Ghost King Lie. If the situation is wrong, ask him to send troops to support us!"

Gui Chunniang stood up with all sorts of charm and smiled, "Zhu Shuai Zuo wins, and Shuangye City will be handed over to this subordinate!"

The sixty thousand ghost army in the city poured out. High-ranking ghost general Gui Wuhei led thirty thousand ghost army to prepare for the Five Extreme Sect's beast army outside the city. Vice Commander Gui Dongya led the other thirty thousand people to quietly head towards the direction of the Azure Dragon Army.

However … the moment the ghost army quietly left the city, a ghost bird that was standing on a withered tree branch outside the city quickly disappeared into the rain. No one noticed this inconspicuous bird.
