Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 133 Scheming for a Long Time

Gao Ge surrenders not only because he cannot defeat them. There is one more reason.

He wants to find out the reason why these soldiers and the general linger on the world.

To make the ghosts completely leave, there are only two ways.

One, eliminate them by force.

Second, help them with their unsolved problems and let them leave for reincarnation.

From the perspective of practice, Gao Ge is a practical man. It is true that he cannot beat them. Even if he suddenly becomes much stronger, he won’t be able to win. After all, this place is full of murderous intent, which greatly affects him. It has already been very hard for him to run the power of stars to resist the murderous intent, let alone fight against them.

Probably even the Dragon Court and the Cultivation Academy don’t expect that this place should be so dangerous.

They may have thought this place was merely haunted, so they assigned this task to Yue Xincheng and his team.

Never can they know that this place is haunted by the ghosts who have been lingering on for hundreds of years. And there are numerous trained-up soldiers in the building.

Even a cultivator in the realm of Strength Exposure or Strength Protection must die here if he pisses off these ghosts, let alone Yue Xincheng and his team.

The whole tube-shaped apartment building is surrounded by the great murderous intent. Gao Ge starts to wonder whether this place used to be a battlefield long time ago.

When the soldiers marching him pause, Gao Ge notices one room’s door is open so he goes inside himself. He finds that the strong man he met before is drinking Erguotou now.

“Good wine!” The strong man roars and the bodyguards standing behind him look so greedy.

Gao Ge sighs and makes a bow with hands folded in front.

“General, what can I do for you?”

The strong man looks at him and frowns, asking, “Why aren’t you kneeling down?”

“Because I am diagnosed with osteoporosis.” Gao Ge says.

The general is surprised and asks confusedly, “What does osteoporosis mean?”

“It means that I am not feeling well.” Gao Ge looks around only to find that the room has been in a mess and that there are wine bottles everywhere.

The general suddenly waves his hand to let the bodyguards retreat for the moment.

Afterwards, he says to Gao Ge, “Please take a seat.”

Gao Ge immediately sits down.

The general passes him a bottle of Erguotou, saying, “I saw that you were good at swordsmanship. Are you a martial arts cultivator? Are you willing to join the army and work for the nation?”

Gao Ge mumbles to himself that even if he really wants to join the army, he can never join this man’s army!

If he does, doesn’t he have to die here first? Otherwise, every soldier is ghost but him. He will be blamed for not fitting into the community.

“May I ask your name, please?” Gao Ge coughs and asks.

The strong man laughs and says, “I am General Xianwu of the Ming Dynasty. My clan name is Qin, given name is Yan and courtesy name is Luli so my full name is Qin Luli (Qin Luli pronounces like Calorie in Chinese.)!”

“It is lucky for him that his clan name is not Ka (“Ka Luli” means Calorie in Chinese).” Gao Ge thinks to himself.

“And you? What’s your name? Where are you from?” Qin Yan asks with a frown.

“My name is Gao Ge. I come from Jiangnan City, oh no, Jiangnan County.”

“Jiangnan County? Isn’t it hundreds of li far away? Why do you come here?”

Gao Ge really wants to tell him that he takes high-speed train here, but Qin Luli must be unable to understand and may kill Gao Ge out of anger. It is not worthy. Hence, Gao Ge answers loudly, “I am a refugee and pass by this place with my family.”

“Oh, I see. You haven’t answered my question yet. Will you join the army?” Qin Yan asks, “In light of your capability, if I recommend you, it must be no problem for you to become a Commandant Chengxin.”

Gao Ge suddenly feels that Qin Yan is very kind to offer the job of Commandant Chengxin, which must be a six-class officer in the Ming Dynasty.

Take things as they come. With an attitude like that, Gao Ge is quite calm.

After all, he cannot run away. Besides, with the soldiers here, he can never get away from them.

He has a feeling that Qin Yan asks him to come over not merely to simply let him join the army.

Thus, he is not anxious either. Since the man won’t kill him, he just takes things easy and sees what the man wants to say.

However, Qin Yan only keeps drinking, as if he has encountered something bothering.

Gao Ge sits opposite to him, as still as Mount Tai, but actually he feels quite awkward.

“Between the two girls, which one is your wife and which one is your concubine?” Qin Yan finally says something.

The question he puts forward makes Gao Ge even more awkward. He subconsciously looks around and realizes that Meng Jing and Xia Lu are both not here. He feels quite relieved, thinking that Qin Yan is just a bastard who tries to ruin his family harmony.

“Hmm. General Qin, if you don’t have anything else, I will go back to have a rest.” Gao Ge coughs and says. After all, Qin Yan is about to say nothing meaningful even if Gao Ge keeps sitting here. He cannot just sit here to watch the general drinking. He may as well go back and have rest early to continue recovering his power of stars so that he can make full preparation. Even if he has to confront the ghosts, he can still have a chance to flee with Meng Jing and Xia Lu.

Qin Yan feels a bit surprised and asks, “Do you have any errands to run?”

“No. I just want to go back for a rest. I am too tired...” Gao Ge says randomly.

Qin Yan laughs and puts on a look of approval, “Oh I see. It makes sense. You have two girls, who are so pretty. Yet, though you are quite young, you must control yourself a bit.”

Gao Ge gets completely shocked.

The ghost who has wandered here for hundreds of years now wants to go wild after drinking too much wine?

He points to the wine bottles on the table and says with grievance, “General Qin, don’t drive after drinking wine. If the driver drinks before driving, his family will cry!”

Qin Yan is at a loss.

Outside the tube-shaped apartment building.

Jia Hongyun takes out his phone quickly and calls the Cultivation Academy to report the situation.

He knows that what is happening here has been completely out of control. Even the Cultivation Academy and the Dragon Court can never expect that the tube-shaped apartment building is so horrifying. Otherwise, they wouldn’t assign such a task to him.

Gao Ge and the others haven’t come out by now. Neither have Yue Xincheng and Su Hui.

Jia Hongyun remains sensible and doesn’t go inside. On the one hand, he is rather timid. On the other hand, in terms of the current condition, even if he goes inside too, he will also not be able to come out.

After hanging up the phone, he takes a deep breath and turns around only to find someone is walking near him.

“Who’s that?”

The man is wearing a black big cloak, who doesn’t look tall or strong.

While Jia Hongyun is saying, he is walking towards the man.

When he just reaches the man’s front, the black smoke covers him all around.

Ah...

Jia Hongyun feels a headache and then passes out before figuring out what happened.

The man in a cloak takes off the hat and shows his old face with white hair, white beard and triangular eyes.

As he waves his hand, three more men dressed in the same clothes walk towards him.

“Third Honorable Elder, why don’t we just kill him?” A young man asks the old man while pointing at Jia Hongyun, who has been made into a coma by the black smoke.

The old man sneers and says in a reproachful tone, “He comes from the Cultivation Academy. If it leaks out, do you know what it means?”

“Yes, sir...” Scolded by the old man, the young man can only lower his head and yet doesn’t agree actually.

What can the Cultivation Academy do?

What can the Dragon Court do?

In no way dare they destroy their sect.

“Take this student of the Cultivation Academy away first and the others just stay here on watch. I have schemed this for two months. I cannot fail on the eve of a complete success. As long as the magical circle is done, we will take the ghosts and leave!” The old man says with a gloomy face.

The three men bring Jia Hongyun away quickly and no one knows where they are going.

The old man stands still and turns around to look at the tube-shaped apartment building with his eyes filled with coldness.

“Only one more day. It will be done in one more day. By then, even the Dragon Court cannot find out it is me...”
