Chapter 1277: Thousand Paper Cranes

Meanwhile.

At the city gate.

The city gate was wide open, with ghost attendants standing on both sides. In reality, their presence here symbolized something more than practical significance. After all, they were all within the Nancheng district; there was no need for them to check people as rigorously as they would at the entrance of the City of the Underworld.

I stand here because there's still a class divide between the residents of "Wu Bian Cheng" and those in the inner city. This division prevents people from Wu Bian Cheng from entering the inner city to cause trouble, and it also stops anyone inside the city from causing trouble and escaping.

Of course, this kind of thing hardly ever happens.

Now.

It's not just the ghost messengers, there are also three more guards.

One of them was the leader of the guards who had just appeared in Changsheng Town.

"Captain Gu, could it be that they weren't telling the truth"

One of the guards walked up to the head guard and whispered.

And his gaze was fixed on the gatekeeper.

The ghosts were responsible for matters within the city, while the guards were responsible for defending the city. Moreover, the guards were directly under the command of the Yin Marshal, so psychologically, the guards mostly looked down on the ghosts.

The grain captain did not ride a horse, mainly worried about causing panic among the townspeople.

Shaking his head, he said coldly, "Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to deceive me. They should be telling the truth; that person hasn't arrived yet."

In fact, Ye Fusheng's guess wasn't wrong. Under the circumstances where a specific location was confirmed, letting the person escape would be too embarrassing for them. They didn't notify anyone and just chased after him all the way.

But it was more than Ye Fusheng had expected. They guessed that, given Ye Fusheng's cunning, he was most likely worried about being ambushed inside the city and therefore hid halfway.

They took advantage of this, rushing back into the city to set an ambush.

The guard replied, "Could it be that because so many people enter and leave the inner city, they didn't notice"

I've been here for an hour, with no sign of movement.

The Grain Captain pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's impossible not to notice. Although many people enter and exit the city, even if that person is fast, they can't be quicker than us by a single minute. You were watching the flow of people, in one minute, no more than twenty people would pass. It's impossible to mistake it, that person must still be outside the city!"

Upon discovering the deception, he spurred his horse forward with all speed. Time was short; to arrive even a moment sooner than Ye Fusheng was already considered the utmost standard. He even believed he had reached the city gate before Ye Fusheng.

In this case, he couldn't get in.

The guards looked troubled, they had already been resting and never expected to be called back for overtime. Judging from the current situation, finding the person seemed impossible in the near future.

"Captain Gu, who is that person Why did you personally come out to face him Could it be...could the thunder just now have something to do with him"

"Shut up!"

The captain's face paled, and his heart raced. In truth, he had no idea who Ye Fusheng was. He had only heard reports from his subordinates that a powerful soul entity had entered the southern city from the eastern city. Instinctively, he felt something was wrong.

Therefore, blockade messages and bring people to arrest them, attempting to make amends for the mistakes.

If the thunderclap just now was really caused by that creature, not only would those two threatened guards be held responsible, but even himself and even Lord Yin would have to bear the consequences. After all, it was a major incident that shook the entire underworld of Fengdu and made all five ghost emperors rise up to investigate.

The Village Chief, Hei Lian, scowled and said, “Shut your mouth! If you dare speak what you shouldn’t, beware your tongue. Now, immediately order everyone guarding the moat to keep their eyes peeled. That scoundrel must be desperate and will likely resort to drastic measures. If he enters the inner city from their defense zone, immediately strip him of his status… No, I'll go myself!”

After finishing his words, he went to the moat with a worried expression.

It was plain to see that the guards stationed at Changsheng Town had dispersed, with one person every thirty feet, meticulously monitoring the city wall for any sign of movement. This vigilance caused passersby to hesitate and avoid going near it.

……

Ye Fusheng quickly dashed forward, his breath not even slightly released. With the height of this wall, all he needed to do was lightly climb over it.

Is about to reach the wall.

"Big brother."

The little girl suddenly spoke.

Ye Fusheng couldn't help but stop in his tracks, turned around to look, and saw the little girl running towards him quickly.

"This is for you, my mom said that a thousand paper cranes bring good luck." She held up the thousand paper crane.

Ye Fusheng felt a surge of emotion. Thousand paper cranes were her means of survival, yet she had given them all to him for free.

Taking it, he touched his own body. When his body exploded before, only personal belongings remained: the marriage certificate, the Nine Profound Art, and the sword... None of these were suitable gifts.

He stammered, "But big brother doesn't have anything to give you. How about...how about this, consider it as a gift from big brother. When I finish my own business, you can ask for anything and I'll get it for you."

The little girl beamed an innocent smile: “Mom said that giving gifts is not about expecting anything in return, and I don’t expect anything either. I don’t need anything in return.”

That's a great lesson.

It's a pity, though.

Ye Fusheng thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "You like fish, don't you Believe it or not, I can make all the fish in the river swim to you"

"Really" Her eyes widened.

Children just love to play.

It's a pity she likes fish. If she liked fishing, I would definitely get her a fishing rod before leaving.

"Of course it's true, I'll carry you up there."

He said, scooping up the little girl and carrying her to the top of the wall.

Then, he also sat on the wall.

At almost the same time.

"Huh... how come there are so many guards here Shouldn't they be at the main city wall Why are they here" The little girl looked at the guards on the opposite bank of the river, her voice filled with wonder.

Whoosh!

Ye Fu Sheng suddenly froze in place. These guards were actually here waiting for prey. He glanced at the little girl, she had indeed brought him good luck.

A sliver of breath was released, infused into the thousand paper cranes, and then they were thrown over the wall.

The next second.

This moat, about two zhang long and stretching as far as the eye could see, churned turbulently. Countless fish leaped from the water surface, eagerly swimming towards the Thousand Paper Cranes. Fish beside them circled the Thousand Paper Cranes, constantly swirling and leaping. Some even leaped half a zhang high, just like carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

"Wow…"

The little girl covered her mouth with both hands in astonishment.

The guards on the shore widened their eyes, completely bewildered as to why. Even staring in astonishment at the little girl, they couldn't fathom why, upon her arrival, the fish had transformed into this.

The pedestrians also came to a halt, thinking in their hearts, "Strange things are really happening today."

Just as everyone was looking at the surface of the water.

Tap tap tap.

A man hurried over. It was none other than Captain Gu.

He took a step across the river and reached the wall. He looked behind the wall and frowned.

Looking at the little girl, he asked, “Did you swim these fish over here”

Of course not!

The little girl, like showing off candy, looked back and said, "This is all because... hmm"

She wanted to say it was because of Ye Fusheng, but when she turned around, she realized there was no sign of the older brother anymore.

"Why!"

The squadron captain asked solemnly.

The expression startled the little girl. After a few seconds of calming down, she said, "This is all because of origami cranes. Origami cranes can bring good luck."

She pulled another one out of her pocket.

"Thousand paper cranes" Captain Gu instinctively reached out to take it.

The little girl was quick, she quickly took back: "A thousand paper cranes represent good luck, they can't be given away, I have to go home!"

Climb over the wall.
