Jiuye hesitated for a moment, then explained with a wry smile: "Actually, we have deployed enough manpower at the beginning. There are a dozen ghost kings, hundreds of ghost kings, and thousands of ghost generals..."

"Although this power is not too much, it is definitely enough when placed at the gate of hell."

"The space storm had not yet broken out at that time, and the space cracks here were all in a relatively calm state, so we organized a team to enter the crack area to explore..."

"But I didn't expect...I don't know what caused the accident, and then led to the outbreak of the space storm..."

"In the end, we only have a few dozen people left, and the Ghost Emperor only has a few people left."

Having said this, Jiuye sighed heavily again, obviously very hurt by the previous loss.

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "I see... Then how long has this space storm lasted?"

Jiuye said calmly: "It's just a matter of the past few days."

After the space storm broke out, Jiuye immediately set up a sandstorm formation. Except for Bailing Pavilion, no other forces knew about the situation inside the formation.

Of course it was impossible for Jiuye to tell the true situation.

Bailing Pavilion is not a force from the north, but from the farther west.

He cannot expose his origins and details, otherwise he will definitely be squeezed out by these northern forces.

If so many days have passed since the outbreak of the space storm, but their reinforcements from Bailing Pavilion have not arrived, then it must be a very doubtful situation.

Therefore, this accident that destroyed troops and generals could only happen in the past few days.

Zhang Lu didn't have too many doubts.

In his opinion, the only major force that can appear nearby can only be a major force from the north.

He still nodded his head lightly and said: "So, your follow-up reinforcements should already be on the way."

Jiuye said calmly: "Things happened suddenly. It will take some time for us to organize reinforcements. Moreover, there must be spies within our forces. There are also many eye spies from hostile forces on the territory. In order to keep it secret before, it was not convenient to do so casually. Redeploy manpower..."

"Haha, there is no need to consider the issue of confidentiality now. I am afraid that the matter of the artifact has already spread."

"Yes, but I don't know the specific situation of the reinforcements. I'm just waiting for the arrangements from above."

Jiuye casually brushed off the reinforcements.

Zhang Lu didn't think too much and just said: "Since you will have reinforcements coming, there is no need to use the demon army. Just withdraw these demons. This is also the prerequisite for our cooperation. We don't dare to Get involved with the demon clan."

Jiuye said calmly: "When the time limit for the summoning spell is up, these demon troops will naturally go back. You don't have to worry about these problems."

"Haha, are you guarding against us?"

Zhang Lu smiled proudly.

There are only three ghost emperors in Jiuye. If the wolf demon army is allowed to disperse, their situation will naturally be quite bad, and they may be annihilated by Zhang Lu and Cui Jie at any time.

Zhang Lu can understand Jiuye's current thoughts. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Only when you have enough strength in your hands can you feel safe enough in your heart.

Jiuye smiled calmly: "It's not entirely to guard against anyone. If we can reach a cooperation agreement, I naturally don't need to be too wary of you, but... it's still okay to keep these monster armies for the time being. Do something for us.”

Zhang Lu asked curiously: "Oh, what else do you need them to do?"

Jiuye said slowly: "We should clean up those bandit alliances hiding in the maze..."

"Why?" Cui Jie suddenly interjected: "The news about the artifact has been leaked. Could it be that those bandit alliances will hinder anything?"

"Of course it will get in the way. If one more bandits are eliminated, the news about the artifact will be leaked to one less person. After all those bandits are eliminated, the news about the artifact will no longer spread..."

Jiuye glanced at Cui Jie and Zhang Lu calmly: "Those are more than twenty bandits. You don't want more than twenty forces to appear here in the future, right?"

Zhang Lu sighed: "It's really hard to say this kind of thing... Indeed, it seems more reliable to eliminate these bandits."

Cui Jie snorted coldly: "Do you think those bandits are so easy to eliminate? If we push them into a hurry, won't they all hide underground? Can you still go underground to find them one by one?"

Jiuye said calmly: "So what if they hide underground? Can they still escape from the maze? We just need to spend more time, and we can eventually find them all."

Zhang Lu chuckled: "That's true. Anyway, we have time these days. We can clean up the inside and outside of this formation first..."

"No, I don't agree to attack these bandits. I still have use in taking them."

Cui Jie quickly objected.

Zhang Lu asked in confusion: "What do you want these bandits for?"

Cui Jie frowned and said, "Of course it works. These bandits asked me for help before."

Zhang Lu asked strangely: "Ask for help? So you entered the maze just to save these bandits? What are these ants worthy of your rescue?"

Cui Jie hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that I plan to use these bandits as a shield and use the sign of their coalition to hunt for treasures here openly!"

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "You have a good idea, are those bandits so obedient?"

Cui Jie said: "I have my own way to make them obedient."

"What method? Is it reliable?"

"Of course it is reliable, I can make them swear, and those who don't obey will be killed directly."

"Oh, if that's the case, it's not impossible..."

Zhang Lu thought for a while, and then said: "If we can make the entire bandit coalition obedient, then we can hide the army in the formation, and then let the coalition guard outside the formation, so that other forces can be more cautious..."

Cui Jie said proudly: "That's my idea."

Zhang Lu continued: "However, this matter must be carried out quickly, and it must be completed before the vanguards of other forces arrive here, and they must not be discovered that we are actually hiding in the formation..."

The big forces in the north generally do not openly enter the Ghost Gate area. Even if they want to do something in Ghost Gate, they will only send a small number of people to do it secretly.

But if we find that other forces have already taken action in a big way, then no one will hide it anymore.

This is a bit like the law cannot punish everyone.

If you, a monk, can touch it, then I, a Taoist priest, can touch it too.
