This was because the third batch of Ghost Guards sent by the Spirit Lords had been a day apart from the first batch. Hence, it was already the third day when the reinforcements from Mount Wulai arrived at the campsite near the mine.
However, they were extremely excited when they saw the reinforcements from Mount Wulai.
There were at least 40,000 Underworld soldiers stationed at the mine and there were at least four Ghost Kings among them. They had been very worried for the past three days.
Now that they saw their reinforcements, they could finally relax.
This also meant that he had sent three batches of Ghost Guards to Mount Wulai to ask for reinforcements in one day. This also made Lord Witchcraft understand the seriousness of the matter.
This was because the Underworld was still too powerful for them. Their every move could be said to be related to the survival of Mount Wulai.
Now that the Underworld had suddenly made a move and sent such a powerful force, there was indeed something strange about it. This made Witchcraft Jiang have no choice but to be cautious about this matter.
Even though they were not sure if the Underworld was really planning to attack Mount Wulai, they needed to repel the Underworld's ghost cultivators.
This was to let them know that even though the Underworld was powerful, Mount Wulai was not a place they could easily bully.
Hence, this time, he had sent a total of 20 Ghost Kings and 80,000 ghost cultivators to support them. He wanted to boost Mount Wulai's morale.
After all, they had received news that there were at least four Ghost Kings and 40,000 ghost cultivators. However, the situation was not very clear and it was very likely that there were even more than that.
Witchcraft Jiang naturally did not dare to underestimate them. However, sending out a force that was twice their own was enough to give them an absolute advantage.
He wanted to defeat the Underworld's army in a thunderous manner. This way, Mount Wulai's morale would soar and the Underworld would definitely not dare to provoke Mount Wulai anymore.
"My lords, please head to the tent and rest!" The Commander in Chief quickly welcomed them respectfully.
Even though he was the Commander in Chief, his status was incomparable to the Ghost Kings.
"What's the situation at the Underworld now?" A group of Ghost Kings entered the tent and sat down. The leader of the Ghost Kings asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, the security of the Mansion of the Dead has always been very tight. Our spies have been unable to continue their investigation. Therefore, the information that we've obtained so far is the information that I sent back to Lord Witchcraft Jiang previously," said the Ghost Lord Commander in Chief.
"Mm, the Underworld has suddenly sent a large number of troops to take over our mine, and they haven't attacked you for the past few days. It's obvious that they're just trying to lure the reinforcements of Mount Magus out!" said the leader of the Ghost Kings.
"Viceroy, since we're already here, we can't let them go back alive.
They are too naive to think that they can defeat our Wu Lai Mountain with such a method. "Another Ghost King said.
"That's right. It's precisely because they don't dare to attack Mount Wu Lai directly that they came up with this idea to lure us out of Mount Wu Lai.
Since that's the case, then we'll let them have their way. Governor, why don't we take advantage of the night and destroy their camp? Another Ghost King said.
"Don't be anxious. Our team has been traveling for three days now, and everyone is very tired. If we attack at this time, it will be very disadvantageous for our soldiers!" However, the Governor rejected the Ghost Kings' suggestion.
Although it was indeed a very good idea to take them by surprise, the Mansion of the Dead had already been resting here for several days. Moreover, their team was so large, with eighty thousand ghost cultivators. How could they hide such a lineup?
Perhaps the Mansion of the Dead had already known that they were here. At this time, the Mansion of the Dead might have already set up an ambush, waiting for them to launch a night attack.
"Governor, even if we don't carry out a large-scale night attack on the Mansion of the Dead, shouldn't we send some ghost cultivators to test the situation of the Mansion of the Dead?" asked a Ghost King.
"Mm, that's not a problem. Then let's test them today. Tomorrow, we'll officially start a war with them and make them scram back to where they came from!" The Governor did not object this time. It was still very necessary to do a small test.
That night, a small team of dozens of ghost cultivators left the camp and rushed in the direction of the mine.
Mine camp!
"Junior Brother Yu, now that the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai have arrived, and there are quite a few of them. Should we go and launch a sneak attack tonight?" Xinhai said impatiently.
"Why should we launch a sneak attack?
Have you forgotten what we are here to do? "Cheng Yu said snappily.
"Of course we are... Aiya, that's right. We are going to lure the ghost cultivators from Mount Wu Lai. Look at me, I've been waiting here for a few days. All of a sudden, I've seen so many ghost cultivators from Mount Wu Lai.
Xinhai immediately woke up. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have gone astray and made a mistake in his goal.
"It's good that you understand. Now that the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai have arrived, I believe that in a few days, they will launch an attack on us.
We must not fight with them. Our goal is to lure them to the city of the Mansion of the Dead and let them fight with the Mansion of the Dead Cheng Yu looked at everyone present and said.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry. We definitely won't forget" Chen Hongyuan said.
At this moment, some noises came from outside the tent.
"What happened?" As soon as Cheng Yu and the others walked out of the tent, they saw the Ghost Emissarie running over.
"My lord, the ghost cultivators from Mount Wu Lai have come to launch a sneak attack."
"How many ghost cultivators have come?"
Cheng Yu frowned. He didn't expect that Mount Wu Lai would be so impatient. Today, the reinforcements had just arrived and they were already launching a sneak attack.
"It seems like there are only a few dozen."
"Capture them all!"
"Yes sir!"
"Junior Brother Yu, they only sent a few dozen ghost cultivators. It seems like they are trying to find out the truth about us" Xinhe said.
"Yes, but they really think too highly of themselves. A few dozen ghost cultivators want to understand our real situation. How can there be such a good thing?"
"However, I plan to help them."
Cheng Yu looked at the ghost cultivators who were capturing the ghost cultivators and immediately revealed a conspiratorial smile.
"Junior Brother Yu, what do you mean by this?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"Since they are in such a hurry, perhaps they will attack us tomorrow. Therefore, even if we don't reveal our true strength now, we will still be exposed when the time comes. This will instead make them suspicious of us.
Since that's the case, we might as well find an opportunity to expose our strength now "Cheng Yu said after some thought.
"Why are you doing this?" Everyone still didn't quite understand Cheng Yu's thoughts.
