Ling Ping’an shook his head and threw out all the messy thoughts in his head.

It was strange.

These thoughts were indeed thrown away by him.

His entire person also returned to clarity.

This made him quite proud.

“I am indeed a gentleman!” He thought.

A gentleman restrained himself.

Only a person who could control his own desires was a gentleman.

And his self-control was undoubtedly very strong.

So much so that those messy and so-called thoughts just now instantly cleared his mind, leaving only a shallow impression.

Perhaps at this time tomorrow, he won’t even remember what he thought just now.

This was his unique talent.

It belonged to the magical ability of an otaku!

My heart was as wide as the sea and I didn’t care about anything.

Naturally, I didn’t have any worries, so I smiled every day.

It was quite compatible with the Taoist’s quietness and inaction.

Therefore, he looked at the black-robed man on the ground and said, “Bring me to your Elder Ancestor!”

‘Elder Ancestor’, in Ling Ping’an’s opinion, should be a code name.

It was the code name of the head of a criminal organization.

The criminals of the Federal Empire always used some strange code names.

Ling Ping’an was already used to it.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up with trepidation.

He lowered his head and answered weakly, “Yes…”

…

In the sky above the Luming Villa, the sword light tore through the darkness.

Countless people opened their eyes from their beds or rooms and sensed the top of their heads.

The sharp sword Qi moved freely in the sky.

“Yanluo Sword…” countless people whispered the name, “He made a move?”

Yanluo Sword, Zhang Hui, the lieutenant general of the Blackguard.

He used to be a notorious figure in the Blackguard.

Countless demons and criminals died under his sword.

Unfortunately, during the chaos of the feathered fox, he encountered the ancient demon of Fusang.

He was severely injured by the demon’s power and did not have long to live.

Even if the Blackguard used all the treasures in the world to search for famous doctors, they could only prolong his life.

Legend had it that he could only swing three more swords at most.

After three swords, the Yanluo Sword would fall!

And at this moment, in the sky above him, there were more than three swords blooming?

Moreover, the person who swung the sword did not seem to be injured at all.

Some people with psionic sense could even sense that the sword Qi was not only attacking the enemy, it was also sealing off the entire Luming Villa’s high altitude.

“As expected…”

Some people thought, “The legend that the Blackguard obtained great benefits from Young Master X of Jiangcheng City is true!”

“Not only has the Yanluo Sword fully recovered from his injuries, he has also risen to a higher level!”

Hence, their hearts were burning with passion.

Even the Yanluo sword, Zhang Hui, who had suffered such injuries, was able to fully recover and even improve further.

That Young Master X…

One would definitely lick him well!

If the Blackguard licked him, they would lick him as well.

Moreover, they would definitely lick him even harder!

After all, there were many moves that the Blackguard could not use due to their status.

However, they could use them without any psychological pressure.

It was just a competition of lower limits!

However, most people focused their attention on the battle above their heads.

A battle between experts above the rank of general.

It was the best magic art lesson, especially for those who had the chance to break through to the rank of general in the future.

This might be one of the few people who could safely observe a life and death battle between generals from a close distance!

Therefore, everyone paid attention and didn’t dare to neglect it.

However, at this moment, the battle in the air had already come to an end.

When the sword light swept across, Peng Chang, who had come from thousands of miles away, had actually been defeated.

It was not only because Zhang Hui’s strength had far exceeded his expectations.

It was also because…

The moment Zhang Hui waved his sword, a miniature Green Dragon Crescent Blade had fallen from the moonlight and locked onto his divine soul!

Emperor Guan!

The guardian deity of the Federal Empire had already made his move!

Although he had not awakened, the imperial capital was his training ground.

Naturally, he did not need a ceremony to mobilize part of his divine power.

Locking onto Peng Chang was a piece of cake.

Locked onto by a God?

And it was the guardian God of the Federal Empire!

Peng Chang knew at that moment that he was going to suffer.

Thus, he immediately retreated.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into a sword light.

The sharp sword light tore the bandages on Peng Chang’s body into pieces.

Countless worms that were living in his body were killed by the sword light!

And those worms were Peng Chang’s flesh and bones!

He immediately howled in pain.

“Yanluo Sword!” He had no choice but to turn around and face the enemy. He waved his hand and threw out countless small glass bottles. Inside these glass bottles were many strange-shaped worms.

They were cultivated by him after a lot of effort. Each one of them was cultivated by hundreds of lives and hundreds of thousands of poisonous worms.

Originally, he had planned to hold the Witchcraft Gu Sect’s ‘ten thousand insects devouring the body’ ceremony. He wanted to make use of the once-in-a-decade time when the yin energy would burst forth to fuse with his body and refine a part of his body into a treasure.

But now, in order to delay Zhang Hui’s sword light and tainted the magic sword that was rapidly stabbing towards him, Peng Chang had no choice but to throw all of it out and detonate the magic art in the bodies of those worms.

Peng peng peng!

One by one, the glass bottles containing the worms exploded.

The worms in them expanded explosively in the wind.

In an instant, they turned into ferocious giant poisonous worms.

Roar!

The poisonous worms howled.

One by one, they exploded!

Dark green poisonous water sprayed in all directions. Zhang Hui had no choice but to raise his sword to dodge.

After all, Peng Chang was doomed to die!

There was no need to let his magic sword be tainted because of this.

This sword was the property of the people and the wealth of the country!

Just to refine it, he had hired four sword forging masters and spent a full five years.

The materials used for this sword had been painstakingly collected from the counties.

Only a great country and a powerful people could forge this lieutenant-general-level sword with the hands of mortals without relying on immortals and gods!

It was a magical sword that could explode psionic power without any delay in any environment without being damaged by a nuclear bomb.

Its cost was comparable to three aircraft carrier battle groups!

Therefore, Zhang Hui was reluctant to part with it.

Back then, during the chaos of the feathered fox, most of the heavy injuries he suffered were to protect this magical sword.

Otherwise, he could have completely self-detonated the magical sword at that time.

It would have bought him more time but he did not!

As an orphan, he always remembered that he was raised by the people’s taxes and it was the country that made him what he was today!

What flowed in his body was not blood.

It was the people’s fat and people’s ointment!

Therefore, this sword might be more important to Zhang Hui than his life.

Peng Chang seized Zhang Hui’s momentary delay. As he distanced himself, he sent a psionic power message, “Yanluo Sword! You don’t care about the Cross Slope and you don’t even care about the imperial palace?”

At this moment, in the direction of the imperial palace, blood-red light surged.

However, Zhang Hui only took a glance.

Then, he no longer cared. He raised his sword and continued to chase after him.

The blood-red light in the imperial palace?

Bat Demon Qian Qianqiu?

A trace of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The imperial palace?

Perhaps the Emperor of the Empire in the past was a powerless mortal.

But now..

The Jizhou and Yongzhou Cauldrons combined into one. Once activated, the Emperor would be like an immortal God in the world.

Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, the nine cauldrons could not be used.

That was a strategic weapon.

However…

With the protection of the nine cauldrons, the Emperor and the eldest princess would be safe and sound.

Therefore…

The moment Zhang Hui raised his sword and chased after him, the sound of a zither stirred up the wind and clouds!

The six-fingered zither demon, Song Shihui!

This lieutenant general who was on duty in Jiang City appeared at the imperial palace.

The zither music came and the mountains and rivers flowed, overflowing with killing intent.

“Bitter!” When Peng Chang heard the zither music, he immediately shouted that things were not good.

This was a trap!

Immediately, he threw out all the glass bottles on his body without caring about anything else.

Then, he burned his own Qi and blood, frantically fleeing into the distance.

“Blind Ding, why aren’t you activating it?” In his heart, he was extremely anxious as he cursed. Using a communication talisman, he transmitted his voice to the chief deacon of the Yan Sheng sect.

Right now, he could only count on that madman!

He was counting on him to activate the Cross Slope and ignite the bomb in the northern suburbs of the imperial city.

This was also their plan.

A triple attack.

Illusory and real, real and illusory.

The imperial palace, the Luming Villa, the Cross Slope.

There would always be a flaw.

Once the Blackguard was distracted, they would be able to obtain victory and ruthlessly slap the Blackguard’s face on the entire world’s interface!

This would let everyone in the world know that the Federal Empire wasn’t invincible and the Blackguard wasn’t invincible either!

Now, both sides were obstructed.

They could only hope that everything would go smoothly on the other side of the Cross Slope.

…

“Blind Ding, aren’t you going to activate it?”

He felt the ripples in the talisman.

The black robe slowly rose under the dark moonlight.

He stared at the scenery in front of him.

It was a hole that had collapsed into the center of the Earth.

Around the hole, under the countless weeds, countless steel bars had been corroded into rust.

This was the core of the Cross Slope.

More than a hundred years ago, the main boiler of the Cross Slope steam engine factory.

And now, it was the core of this underworld.

It was where the eye of the Blue Fall Yellow Spring array was located.

“Let’s begin!” Under the black robe, a cold voice pierced through his bones like a cold wind.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

Ever since he was forced to release his corpse and escape, he had been waiting for this day.

He was waiting for the chance to return to the Cross Slope and take back everything that belonged to the Yan Sheng Sect!

Fortunately…

He had finally waited for this chance!

Blackguard, too careless!

At such a moment, it was his weak period.

That commander-in-chief actually dared to leave the imperial capital!

It was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!

Moreover, there was someone in the imperial capital who secretly communicated with him, opening the door for him.

The psionic power warning system, which was known as ‘all-directional and no blind spots’, instantly failed.

The three in-orbit psionic power warning radars on orbit should have been working normally.

However, the nuclear test that Hapsburg suddenly conducted a five-million-ton hydrogen bomb detonation on an island in the ocean.

The hydrogen bomb released a huge amount of thermonuclear radiation and electromagnetic shock waves.

The three psionic power warning radars, which were worth tens of billions, were affected by the waves and had a blind spot.

This was the weakness of science.

It was also the helplessness of mortals.

Even if the science and technology of mortals had developed weapons that could threaten powerful transcendent being or even the lives of Immortals and gods, however, those machines were too sensitive and easily interfered with.

Therefore…

They couldn’t be relied on and could only rely on themselves!

Only the strength they had mastered was truly reliable!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Old Ghost!” He stared at the depths of the huge hole.

He could feel that there was a figure with broken limbs lying in the depths of the hole, at the entrance of the underworld and the present world.

His flesh, blood and soul were tightly intertwined with this land.

They were even fused with the Blue Fall Yellow Springs Formation under this land.

In a certain sense, he was the cross slope, the Blue Fall Yellow Springs!

“No matter how heroic you are…”

“In the end, you still have to make a wedding dress for me!”

“Right now, during your weakened period, you’ve been hit by the eternal sleep that I specially prepared for you…”

“This is a secret recipe that I painstakingly found in a pyramid in ancient Egypt…”

“Using the coffin that drowned the God of Hell, Orishas, as the main material, adding the embers of the mummies of the nine pharaohs and mixing it with the mandala juice that bloomed in the depths of the Anubis Pyramid, it took three whole years to refine it. It’s a ‘good thing’ that was prepared for a half-ghost God like you!”

“Even the God of death, Anubis, used this medicine to help him sleep!”

Even Anubis would fall into a deep sleep after taking it.

Let alone a mere half-ghost God like him?

After taking the eternal sleep, he wouldn’t be able to wake up if he didn’t sleep for a hundred and eighty years.

When he woke up…

There was no turning back!

When he said this, the black-robed man couldn’t help but laugh wildly in delight.

In the imperial capital in the distance, psionic power was surging.

Faintly, a sword light chased after the north and a string of zither music sounded above the imperial palace.

“Very good!” The black-robed man sensed it.

If Peng Chang and Qian Qianqiu could stall for enough time for him…

Then even if they died, they would die for a worthy cause!

Moreover, it was unknown how many life-saving methods those two old men had.

He slowly landed on the ground.

On the ground, a few disciples wearing black robes had already carried a prepared person to him.

This person was completely naked and had his eyes closed. He was completely unaware of everything around him.

This was a body that he had been searching for for a long time.

It was very compatible with him, so he had lured him to Kunlun State and refined him into his own puppet.

Having a physical body was very important.

That was because he had only succeeded in dissecting the corpse back then.

He survived, but he became neither human nor ghost.

Without the protection of a physical body, as long as he got close to the underworld, he would immediately be suppressed by the instinct of the underworld!

Therefore, he slowly landed on that person’s body.

The black robe gradually fused into the person’s flesh and blood.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

His eyes were empty.

“Even if I changed my body…” he stood up and sighed, “I’m still blind…”

His eyes were blown apart by a punch right here.

The terrifying divine ability completely erased his vision from the psionic power level.

From now on, he could only rely on sound to sense.

But it didn’t matter!

After tonight, he would be able to see again!

As long as he controlled this netherworld, millions of malicious ghosts would become his eyes and ears!

And the entire world would tremble under his feet!

Yan Sheng Sect would become the master of all humans!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh maniacally.

“Hahahahahahahahaha…”

His laughter was hoarse and incomparably proud.

But..

“He Qi…” he suddenly frowned and reached out to touch the robe that he had reached out to. A golden thread had already broken.

This was the heart curse that he had planted in the soul of one of his disciples.

When the heart curse was broken, it meant that the curse had been lifted.

“Who?” He immediately became alert, “Who is it!”

Touching the golden thread, he immediately traced the energy that was released when the heart curse was broken.

Therefore, he turned his head to the south.

A two-lane road extended forward under the night sky.

The deep night sky was extremely dense.

It was to the extent that his psionic sense could not see any further.

“How is this possible?” He was immediately shocked.

It must be known that even under the eternal night in the South Pole, in the depths of the continent where the spirit aura was scarce, his psionic sense could still easily cover a radius of more than ten miles.

But now…

He could not even accurately perceive the scenery a hundred meters away.

What did this mean?

He could not be clearer.

There was a powerful warrior!

And it was a powerful warrior with a domain and a training hall who had come.

In the known world, other than those immortals and angels who could only wait in their own territory for the wave of spirit aura to rise again, probably only that commander-in-chief had such an ability.

But wasn’t Li Shouyi on Mount Kunlun?

Could he travel ten thousand miles in an instant?

He was worried and hesitating.

Tap tap tap…

The sound of footsteps came continuously from the ground.

In the quiet night, thick fog quietly rose.

The earth was trembling.

Tap tap tap…

In the thick fog, it seemed as if a huge shadow was slowly walking over.

The wind was echoing in their ears, sending them an incomparably strange and terrifying whisper.

Vaguely, all the people from the Yan Sheng Sect heard an extremely strange voice.

“Be good, little rabbit. Open the door. Open it quickly. I want to come in…”

A voice that was completely off-key and caused one’s eardrums to hurt was unbridled as it sang.

At the same time, there was a low moan that was filled with sorrow and the wails of tens of millions of people.

“Whose land is this?”

Countless scarlet eyeballs lit up in the dense fog in the night.

The dense fog seemed to have terrifying monsters howling and wailing.

“Gather souls without meritocracy!”

The underworld underground seemed to have come alive.

Thump! Thump!

The sound of a heartbeat was heard.

“Why is Ghost Uncle urging me?”

Green-colored spirit aura gushed out from the cracks in the ground.

These spirit aura had huge tentacles that were like tentacles that shot up into the sky.

Terrifying faces were on the tentacles.

“Human lives must be hesitated!”

Sharp screeches came out from the terrifying faces.

It was painful to the ears and caused blood to flow out of the nose.

In the thick fog in the distance, the huge figure slowly walked over.

It was a huge monster that was dozens of meters tall.

The huge scarlet pupil on its forehead emitted a blood-red light that lit up the fog.

The horn on its head was bent in all directions and was faintly discernible in the thick fog.

Its huge tiger head was filled with majesty.

Its strong body was like a huge beast that had returned from the ancient times.

Its three tails were raised high.

Its bloody mouth hung down from the thick fog.

Countless drops of saliva dripped into the fog.

The ground within the corroded thick fog sizzled and smoked.

Beside the monster, a few wisps of ghost fire followed closely.

“Uncle… Uncle… Uncle Ghost…”

Everyone swallowed their saliva and their legs couldn’t help but tremble.

Uncle Ghost, Earth God…

This was the name of the first Lord of Hell, the Lord of Hades that most people knew.

However, the people of the Yan Sheng Sect knew even more secrets because this piece of underworld was actually what they had brought to this world back in the day with the help of the remains of a divine artifact of Lord of Mount Tai and the power of the Netherworld.

And according to their research, Lord of Mount Tai was Uncle Ghost.

And now…

The Lord of Mount Tai had come but the thief had been caught red-handed!

Everyone, including the head deacon, immediately trembled.

If it was the Lord of Mount Tai, they might be able to fight for a more comfortable death because the Lord of Mount Tai was reasonable.

But…

The Uncle Ghost?

That was an ancient God that would easily treat tens of thousands of malicious ghosts as snacks!

“That’s not right!”

The head deacon of the Yan Sheng Sect, Blind Ding, calmed down.

“Both Lord of Mount Tai and Uncle Ghost should have fallen!”

This was the result of their countless years of research.

They dug up countless tombs under Mount Tai and searched for clues in the ghost city of Shu Prefecture.

Finally, they found a tomb where the Lord of Mount Tai was worshipped. From the tomb, they found the epitaph and inscription of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Furthermore, they confirmed that the ancestor of the temple official had worshipped Lord of Mount Tai since the Han Dynasty and had presided over the ceremony many times.

From the epitaph, they learned a secret.

Lord of Mount Tai was the Earth God!

A God who had been transformed from the Earth God!

In addition, during the Three Kingdoms, the ancestor of the temple official had dreamed that Lord of Mount Tai had given him a dream and told him that his time was coming and that he wanted to follow the chaos and merge with it in order to hope that in the future… His position as God would be given to a virtuous person… From now on, every five hundred years, he would choose a virtuous person to inherit his authority, if he ever return, he will definitely bless your family… Remember this!

As expected, from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Empire, every five hundred years, the God on Lord of Mount Tai’s throne would change.

It was also because of this that the Yan Sheng Sect had such a bold plan.

Since the underworld had no master and the epitaph clearly stated that every five hundred years, a virtuous person would be chosen to take over the position of Lord of the temple.

Then…

Did that mean that mortals could become the supreme ruler of the Netherworld?

Then how could he guarantee that one would definitely be chosen?

The answer was…

As long as one guaranteed that when the position of Lord of the manor chose its own master, he could only have one choice!

And that was the Yan Sheng Sect!

Because of this, the Yan Sheng Sect became extremely crazy.

“Who’s playing tricks?” Blind Ding looked at the shadow walking over from the thick fog and finally couldn’t help but shout.

…

Peng Chang ran away crazily.

Zhang Hui chased after him closely.

Sword lights cut through his body, causing him great pain.

“I can’t go on like this…” Peng Chang felt his body.

In just a few minutes, it was as if he had been cut into pieces.

More than half of the worms on his body had died.

If this continued…

Even if he had a spare tire, he would probably die!

There was nothing he could do!

He could only clench his teeth and burn what little blood and Qi he had left in his body.

He turned into a streak of blood light and charged towards the imperial city.

This was the only way to have a chance of survival!

Because, he was the Elder Ancestor of the Witchcraft Gu Sect.

His entire body was covered in worms.

Once he died in the city, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people could be contaminated by the explosion of his psionic power after his death.

In that case…

The Yanlou Sword definitely wouldn’t dare to fight with him in the city.

Only then would he have a chance to escape!

Zhang Hui looked at Peng Chang and suddenly burned the last of his lifeblood without caring about his life. He turned into a bloody light and charged straight into the city.

He immediately became nervous.

He focused again.

“Ministry of Foreign Affairs!”

“D*mn it!”

The bloody light dashed in the direction of the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

And the Koi was there.

She was working overtime!

“What should we do?” Zhang Hui was anxious, “Do we have to let him go?”
