Chapter 471: The Crisis of Trust Before the War

Night fell over the ghost town, and the branches of the sacred tree rustled in the breeze, as if it was also worried about the impending crisis.

The residents of the ghost town fell into a panic after learning about the horror of the Nine-Layer Hell Tower. Jiang Luo stood on the city wall, looking at the panic scene in the city, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he had to stabilize everyone's emotions now.

What Jiang Luo didn't know was that while the ghost town was making intensive preparations for the upcoming war, a ghost cultivator spy quietly infiltrated the ghost village residents.

The ghost shadow began to wander around the ghost village, instigating the residents with his bewitching words. When everyone gathered to discuss countermeasures, he quietly said: "Do you really think you can survive by following Jiang Luo and the others? Look at the Nine-Layer Hell Tower, which is an existence that gathers the most terrifying power in the world. Jiang Luo and the others are no match for Zhuo Erqun. Following them is just sending yourself to die in vain!"

When some timid and weak-willed ghosts heard this, they showed hesitation and fear on their faces. Seeing this, Guiying was secretly proud of himself and continued to exaggerate: "Think about it, once the war breaks out and the ghost city is breached, we, the minions, will be the first to be destroyed. It is better to surrender now, and perhaps we can save our lives."

With the constant instigation of the ghost shadow, the atmosphere in the ghost village became more and more weird. The originally united residents began to have differences, and some ghosts began to waver. They were afraid of the cruelty of war and worried about their own safety. These ghosts gradually gathered together, talking in private, and their trust in Jiang Luo and others was constantly decreasing.

Jiang Luo soon noticed something strange in the ghost village. He found that some ghosts who had been actively participating in the defense preparations suddenly became passive and even spread some negative remarks in secret. Jiang Luo's heart sank, he knew that there must be a spy at work.

From a distance, Jiang Luo saw Xiao Shuai holding a loud speaker, earnestly persuading the gathering ghost cultivators: "I have said it many times, we have made all preparations, and we have enough combat power and will not send you to be cannon fodder, everyone please don't think too much, okay?"

Someone inside started to make a fuss: "You guys just say that, who knows what you're thinking? When you first asked us to come here, you said it was very nice, who knew that it's only been a few months since we came here! Such a big thing has happened! Ghosts' lives are lives too, who will be responsible if we turn to ashes?"

With someone taking the lead, others in the crowd began to follow suit, saying, "Yes! We must be given an explanation!"

"You must give us an explanation!"

Jiang Luo understood that all the ghosts here would follow the rhythm of one of the ghosts, and it was obvious that this was the leader who instigated the other ghosts.

Xiao Shuai was getting very confused. No matter how he tried to persuade them, the ghosts still refused to leave and insisted on asking him for an explanation.

So Jiang Luo used a disguise technique, pulled Xiao Shuai aside and whispered, "Catch the one in black in the middle, the tall one in the middle, and the one who keeps jumping in the back. They are not from our ghost village."

After hearing what Jiang Luo said, Xiao Shuai understood instantly and said loudly to the ghosts: "I know everyone is worried. Facing such a powerful enemy, it is natural to be afraid. But who says we will definitely fail? The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already in chaos. Isn't it obvious that you think our ghost town will definitely lose?"

Xiao Shuai's eyes swept over the crowd and continued, "The man who instigated everyone to surrender is not doing this for our own good. He wants us to give up resistance, let the entire ghost town fall into darkness, and make us all slaves of Zhuo Erqun! Think about it, if the ghost town is broken and you continue to be lonely ghosts, what will you face?"

The ghost was hiding in the crowd, still trying to argue: "Don't be alarmist here. We just want to survive. Is that wrong?"

Jiang Luo's eyes were as fast as lightning, instantly locking onto the location of the ghost: "Do you still want to continue hiding? Come out, spy!" As he spoke, Jiang Luo flashed and instantly appeared in front of the ghost, grabbing his arm with one hand like an iron clamp.

The ghost was horrified and tried to break free, but Jiang Luo's strength was no match for him. He struggled desperately, still shouting: "Don't be fooled by him, he wants to kill you all!"

Jiang Luo smiled coldly: "Do you think your provocation will succeed? Everyone in Ghost Town knows the value of peace and justice, and will not be fooled by your slanderous words. Now outside is the Nine-Layer Hell Tower. Once they go out, they will become blood bags for the Zhuoer Group! Do you think I don't know your conspiracy?"

When the ghosts around heard about the Nine-Layer Hell Tower, they immediately trembled with fear. The Nine-Layer Hell Tower was no joke. It was said that if you were caught by it, you would be in purgatory forever without seeing the sun.

When the ghosts saw Jiang Luo catch the ghost, they all gathered around him. When they saw the ghost's blood-red eyes and sneaky look, they realized that they were almost deceived by this spy.

"Sure enough, there is a spy causing trouble!" Xiao Shuai said angrily, "If the boss hadn't discovered it early, we would have almost fallen into your trap!"

The other ghosts also blamed the ghost. Their eyes were filled with anger and regret. They were angry at the ghost's instigation and regretted that they almost believed his words. If they were really captured by the Nine-Layer Hell Tower, it would be a fate worse than death.

Jiang Luo brought Guiying to the central square of the ghost town so that all residents could see the true face of the spy. Xiao Shuai beat the gong and escorted the three spies around, while shouting in the central square with a loud speaker: "The appearance of this spy today has sounded the alarm for us! In this war, we must not only face external enemies, but also be vigilant against internal spies! But as long as we are united and firm in our beliefs, nothing can defeat us!"

The residents immediately understood after seeing the ghost cultivator's iconic red magic eyes. The previously wavering ghosts also felt ashamed of their behavior. They all expressed that they would definitely work with everyone to protect the ghost town.

Jiang Luo handed the ghost shadow to Huo Yancheng and asked him to lock up the ghost shadow and interrogate him strictly to see if there were other accomplices. However, he was shocked to find out that there were hundreds of ghost shadows sneaking into the ghost town!

In order to solve the current crisis of trust, Jiang Luo had to gather all the ghosts in the square and held a small meeting for everyone. He used spiritual power to amplify the current situation and said: "Although we are facing a huge crisis, we are not without a chance of winning. We have Taoist Qingyi's sacred tree to protect us, the formation repaired by Lao Nie, and this indestructible fortification! Of course, if you want to leave, we will not force you. I will send someone to escort you out of the ghost village to a safe place. But we will not accept ghosts who decide to leave the ghost village in the future, so please consider it yourself!"

The residents gradually quieted down and looked up at Jiang Luo, with fear and hope in their eyes. Bai Quan jumped down from the tree branch, came to Jiang Luo and said, "Brother Jiang, I won't leave! I want to protect the ghost town with everyone!"

Thousands of mortal ghosts and female ghosts under the city wall raised their hands to agree with Bai Quan: "We won't leave! We absolutely won't leave! We support Brother Jiang!"

Although they are all girls and their cultivation is not high, they are grateful and their life in the ghost village is very comfortable. In the past six months, they have understood what a real ghost life is. In order to protect such a ghost life, they will work hard to defend this ghost town!

Following the statements made by Bai Quan and the other mortal ghosts, more and more residents of the ghost town stood up and expressed their determination to stay and fight.

"I am a servant ghost of the ghost town! But after coming to the ghost town, my energy has never dissipated, and I no longer have to worry about being reduced to ashes. Moreover, the ghost town did not treat us as slaves, but gave us a place to live, and even gave us incense and merits! To us, the ghost town is our home! We can't let this home be destroyed by evil!" An elderly ghost said loudly, and his words were echoed by the servant ghosts. For a moment, the atmosphere in the ghost town became excited.

The ghosts raised their hands and shouted in unison: "Defend our homeland! Defend our homeland! Defend our homeland!"

Jiang Luo was very moved. He didn't expect that the ghost town had only been established for half a year and everyone already had such a sense of belonging. This gave him great confidence in defeating the Zhuo Er group.

Just like that, a crisis of trust was eliminated by the support of everyone.

At the same time, in the north, where the black pyramid is located, Zhuo Erqun is rebuilding the Nine-layer Hell Tower with all his strength. He is wearing a black robe, standing on the altar, constantly making seals with his hands and muttering to himself. Under his command, the surrounding ghosts and blood demons are frantically injecting evil power into the tower.

The black mist rolled and surged around the tower, as if countless wronged souls were struggling. With every injection of power, the Nine-layer Hell Tower would rise a little higher, and the runes on the surface of the tower became brighter. A crazy smile appeared on Zhuo Erqun's face, and his eyes were full of desire for power.

"Eight thousand years ago, you destroyed the Nine-Layered Hell Tower. Didn't you ever think that I would be able to use it? You have imprisoned me for thousands of years! Today, I will make you pay the price! I will plunge this world into darkness again and let me become the master of this world!" Zhuo Erqun's voice echoed in the darkness, filled with endless resentment.

As the Nine-Layer Hell Tower continued to rise, the surrounding environment became more and more bizarre. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Black lightning streaked across the night sky, as if it was a curse from hell. On the ground, black liquid continued to ooze out, corroding everything around it.

In the ghost town, Jiang Luo and others were also making intensive preparations. Old Nie and Taoist Master Qingyi joined forces to further strengthen the defensive formation of the ghost town. They combined the power of the sacred tree with the formation to try to build an indestructible line of defense.

Huo Yancheng led a group of young ghosts to set traps around the ghost town. They used the surrounding terrain to set up various traps, hoping to create some obstacles for the enemy when they attacked.

Although Nie Xiaoqian was still very weak, she insisted on helping. She used her spiritual power to bless the ghosts who were preparing to fight, hoping to increase their strength.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the Nine-Layer Hell Tower was about to grow to the ninth floor. Jiang Luo looked at the tower that was constantly rising, and his heart was filled with a sense of urgency.

He knew that war was about to break out and they had to be fully prepared.
