The Jade Emperor became impatient, and the God Emperor also looked hesitant.
Their status and strength are much higher than Baishou. Saying goodbye to him is already a huge honor, so how can they wait outside?
"Ignore him, let's go!" The Jade Emperor waved his hand and took the lead.
At this moment, chaos broke out in the city lord's palace. Screams, shouts, cries, scolds, and orders were heard from the inside out, becoming more and more noisy and louder.
All the voices converge into one message:
"Baishou is dead!!"
Baishou is dead?
Zhao Rui was shocked. Not long ago, Baishou was fine, so why did he suddenly die?
The other gods and demons were also greatly surprised, wondering what happened.
"I'll go in and take a look." Zhao Rui said. He felt that Baishou's death was really strange.
"What's there to see? It's just a fog demon from the sixth level. There's no need to waste our time." Netherworld Ancestor said lightly, "It has nothing to do with us anyway."
"I'm afraid it has something to do with us." Zhao Rui said, ignoring him and flying straight into the city lord's mansion.
The huge city lord's mansion was in chaos, with people running around in panic. The guards in the mansion had their swords unsheathed and were looking around for something.
When Zhao Rui appeared in the city lord's palace, a large number of guards immediately rushed over, shouting angrily.
Zhao Rui was eager to find out the situation and didn't want to tangle with them any more, so he was about to dismiss them casually.
Wu Ao, the leader of Jiwu City, flew over quickly and shouted: "Stop it!"
As the leader, Wu Ao has a status and prestige in Jiwu City, second only to Baishou.
Hearing what he said, the guards in the palace had to stop their attack on Zhao Rui, but they still stared at Zhao Rui with hostility.
Zhao Rui was too lazy to pay attention to these unknown people and asked Wu Ao directly: "Why did the Lord of Baishou City suddenly die?"
Wu Ao first apologized to Zhao Rui for these guards, and then said in a deep voice: "The city lord was killed."
"Killed in the city lord's palace?"
Wu Ao nodded: "And it is the most strictly forbidden area in the mansion - the Wu Demon Hall."
Zhao Rui¡¯s eyelids twitched: ¡°Who did it?¡±
Wu Ao shook his head: "There are no clues."
Zhao Rui frowned slightly: "Take me to have a look."
Wu Ao hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Jiwu City has entered a troubled period, although he has considerable prestige in the city. But it may not be able to completely calm the scene.
¡° If there is a strong person like Zhao Rui to help, it will be of great benefit to the stability of Jiwu City.
??????? Waving his hands. Asking the guards to disperse, Wu Ao led Zhao Rui inside.
The further you go in, the more guards there are and the tighter the guards become. Wu Ao didn't stop until he reached the deepest part of the city lord's palace.
What appeared in front of Zhao Rui's eyes was a majestic palace tens of feet high.
The gate of the palace is closed and heavily guarded.
Wu Ao explained: "The Wu Mo Hall is a forbidden place among forbidden places. The city lord sometimes practices or meditates here. It is heavily guarded here. The restrictions are strong and no one is allowed to enter except the city lord.
The entire palace has been placed under strange restrictions by the city lord. As long as someone tries to enter, the city lord will be warned. However, once the city lord dies, this restriction will naturally disappear.
"If you hadn't wanted to leave and the guards had gone to report and found that the restriction had disappeared, no one would have known. The city lord is dead! "
Finished. Wu Ao opened the door.
The Fog Demon Hall is very empty, almost empty, except for a huge stone statue standing in the center of the Demon Hall.
This stone statue is very strangely carved. There are no facial features on the face and the face is unclear.
But body movements. But it is a miraculous workmanship, exuding a strong power. It makes people feel awe, and they have the urge to kneel down and worship at the sight of it.
In front of the stone statue. One hundred heads were arranged neatly - hundreds of heads.
These heads were sealed by ice and did not immediately turn into mist and disperse. It was obviously done deliberately, just to serve as a display.
According to Wu Ao, Baishou's death was very strange.
No one triggered the restriction, and the guards outside the secret room did not hear any changes inside. Then Baishou was killed quietly.
¡°If it were in the past, if Baishou died, Wu Ao would be secretly happy even though he wouldn¡¯t show it.
Because he can naturally take over Jiwu City and become the newThe current city lord.
No one wants to be inferior to others forever.
But now, Wu Ao didn't feel any excitement, he only felt cold in his heart.
"Shangxian Zhao Rui, did you indeed escape from the Palace of Dead Souls?"
Wu Ao lowered his voice and looked nervous, as if just mentioning this name would bring uncertainty.
Zhao Rui did not answer, but asked: "Do you suspect that Baishou was killed by the Dead Soul Immortal Palace?"
Wu Ao said: "Other than that, who else has such ability?"
Zhao Rui nodded. There are several people here who can kill Baishou, but it is really not easy to kill Baishou quietly.
It¡¯s just that the immortals, demons and undead in the Dead Souls Palace seem to be unable to leave the Dead Souls Palace due to some kind of restrictions. Otherwise, he would not have escaped alive that day.
This made him unable to be completely sure that the killing of Baishou was caused by the Death Soul Immortal Palace.
However, there are exceptions to everything in the world.
The strange existence hidden in the Bone Tomb of Dead Souls Palace may have a way to break through that restriction.
After all, it is really difficult to predict what kind of methods the Dead Souls Immortal Palace will use to cause such a huge disaster.
Zhao Rui pondered for a while, then pointed to the stone statue in the center of the Fog Demon Hall and asked: "Whose stone statue is that?"
Wu Ao shook his head: "I don't know, this is my first time entering here."
Zhao Rui said "Huh" and looked at the stone statue thoughtfully.
While Wu Ao and Zhao Rui were talking in the Fog Demon Hall, Baishou's death had already spread in Jiwu City, causing the Fog Demons in the city to be extremely shocked.
No one expected that just a few hours ago, the Lord of Jiwu City, who was still aloof and high-spirited and led an army of 100,000, would be suddenly killed!
However, another rumor caused the fog demons all over the city to fall into panic.
"The Death Soul Immortal Palace has appeared!"
"Baishou was killed by the dead souls in the Dead Soul Immortal Palace!"
"The sky is about to change in the Dark Abyss!"
""
""
Along with the rumors, the entire Jiwu City fell into chaos.
The originally ferocious and bloodthirsty Fog Demon was now scrambling to escape from the city.
They wish they could stay as far away from Jiwu City as possible, the further away the better!
The demon soldiers in Wu Mo City were unable to stop them, so they had to quickly report to Wu Ao.
Wu Ao was shocked. He rushed out of the city lord's palace and flew into the sky. He saw that the fleeing team had become very large.
In the sky and on the ground, demons hissed and beasts roared, and they were all fleeing fog demons.
Wu Ao was stunned for a long time and sighed. He did not give an order to stop it, and he could not stop it.
In fact, many of his demon soldiers and generals are planning to escape.
Even he himself has a strong desire to escape from this city!
