The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 70

Chapter 2: Ancient Temple

The person who arrived was none other than Li Xun.

Time flowed by like water, fleeting. Now, after over seventy years of forging his way through the Tongxuan Realm, he was no longer the naive young man he once was. Even facing seven masters, including Yuan Nan, he remained composed.

After all, he had amassed a reputation all his own—”Spirit Bamboo” Li Xun was arguably one of the most distinguished of the younger generation in the Tongxuan Realm.

Whether it was his thousands-mile pursuit of the nefarious “Mangshan Old Monster,” his lone battle against the sinister Millennium Zombie King, or his single-handed resistance against the twelve “Inner Demons” of the Wuxin Sect, his deeds had etched a radiant image in his image.

It was precisely for this reason that his response caused ripples on the lake’s surface.

Yuan Nan, perched on the lake’s sandbar, frowned. “‘Spirit Bamboo’ Li Xun? The one who trapped and killed the ‘Sky Eagle Demon King’ in three years, the one known as the foremost master of forbidden techniques among the three generations of disciples from the ten righteous sects?”

Yuan Nan was a rather unattractive middle-aged man with a flat nose and a long face, narrow eyes, and a long, twisting, snake-like black scar on his right cheek. His features were slightly out of shape, but his tall, straight, and powerful figure exuded a certain aura

of authority. Despite his high position and power, he was somewhat impressed by the rising stars in the Tongxuan Realm who had risen to prominence in recent years. He glanced at Song Yuanchi and received a positive response.

Song Yuanchi’s position within the sect was surpassed by Yuan Nan’s, so he naturally had to be careful with his words and actions. He observed Yuan Nan’s expression, and after confirming Li Xun’s identity, he cautiously added, “Our sect has been acting so high-profile here recently, attracting quite a few idlers. This ‘Spirit Bamboo’ might be one of them…”

Yuan Nan nodded slightly. He understood Song Yuanchi’s reluctance to antagonize this cultivator, who had recently risen to prominence.

But his pride was such that he dismissed the allegation. He smiled heavenward, his voice echoing through Li Xun’s ears, disregarding the hundreds of feet of distance. “So you’re a rising star from the Bright Heart Sword Sect. Excellent! Give me an explanation. What brings you to this Southeast Forest?”

The question was blunt, yet perfectly suited to Yuan Nan’s position. In terms of seniority, he was one level above Li Xun’s master. The Pluto Sect and the Bright Heart Sword Sect, one righteous and one evil, had countless grievances and conflicts over tens of thousands of years. It would have been strange for him to ask politely.

Li Xun in the sky also understood this. He smiled, “I was tracking down a rival and happened to be passing by. Sorry to bother you all!”

“Rival? Which one?”

Li Xun suppressed his sense of absurdity and said calmly, “An old rival, a disciple of the Ghostly Shadow Devouring Sect, the Hundred Ghosts Taoist!”

He spoke lightly, but the Pluto Sect’s followers were in an uproar.

“Hundred Ghosts?”

It wasn’t that the name was more famous than “Bright Heart Bamboo,” but the hatred between the Pluto Sect and this person was so deep that even the waters of the three rivers and five lakes could not wash it away. Even Yuan Nan couldn’t maintain his dignity as a great master. A dark, dark aura mingled with murderous intent etched across his ugly face.

He couldn’t help but be furious. For nearly twenty years, the Pluto Sect and Ghostly Shadow Devouring Sect had been in a tense relationship. They had clashed almost year after year over several ghostly death zones, with each side winning and losing.

But the Hundred Ghosts Taoist had left the Pluto Sect with only inexhaustible shame and hatred.

The most recent, and most typical, example was

seven years ago when Bai Gui single-handedly infiltrated a ghostly dead zone recently occupied by the Pluto Sect. Using his supreme forbidden magic skills, he set up a “path to the ghosts,” silently crippling two of the Seven Pluto Star Envoys and instantly disintegrating the Seven Pluto Star Formation, which required a precise coordinated attack.

Since Zhong Yin’s “single sword to break the Seven Plutos,” the Pluto Sect had never suffered such a devastating loss. How could Yuan Nan not be furious?

“How dare you bully me, brat!” Yuan Nan responded sternly. “That Hundred Ghosts is being hunted by our sect’s Nine Netherworld Generals in the north, and they’re struggling to protect themselves. How could they possibly be in this southeastern forest?” “

Nine Netherworld Generals?” Li Xun didn’t mind giving Yuan Nan a little face. “I beg your pardon, Your Excellency. As far as I know, the Hundred Ghosts broke through a month ago, and four of them perished when the Nine Netherworld Generals attacked them. Thanks to your sect’s siege, I was able to follow them in time…”

With these words, even the uproar on the lake faded. Even from a hundred feet above, Li Xun could sense Yuan Nan’s frantic gaze, as if he were a murderer, eager to rip him to pieces.

Yuan Nan’s rage was, in essence, a perfect target.

But he didn’t understand the underlying situation, and he was considered a senior expert. Even knowing Li Xun’s gloating intent, he couldn’t lose his composure.

After a burst of fury, Yuan Nan forcibly suppressed his murderous intent and said coldly, “Thank you for telling me… Since you’re just passing through, that’s fine. My sect has matters to resolve here these days, and we don’t welcome interference from other sects. You may proceed. If that Hundred Ghosts fellow is truly nearby, my sect will handle him!”

His words were harsh, but Li Xun responded readily, “I won’t disturb your sect’s actions, but you don’t need to interfere with my whereabouts. With that, I’ll take my leave, please!”

Without waiting for Yuan Nan’s anger, he smiled coldly and walked away.

The vast southeastern forests.

Towering trees, so thick they could be embraced, formed primeval forests stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles. Thousands of rivers and subterranean streams crisscrossed the land, and countless exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals abounded. It was a blessed place frequented by cultivators.

The ancient Yaolei Temple, to which Li Xun was heading, lay deep within this forest. Over a thousand years ago, it too had been a renowned site.

The demonic monk Lei Yin once settled here, recruiting a few disciples and practicing his unholy arts. His life was relatively comfortable, but he later angered his neighbor, the Wuliangtian Sect of the Wuliang Sea. Overnight, their foundation was uprooted, and the ancient Demon Thunder Temple was reduced to ruins.

“It’s truly a ruin!” Li Xun stood before the dilapidated temple’s main gate, staring at the eerie, gaping doorway. “The Wuliangtian Sect must have broken in through here. A perfectly good red copper gate has been smashed to pieces!”

The air in the forest was damp, and the temple, nestled against a vast lake, had been deserted for centuries. Moss had grown thick on the steps, and even the broken bronze door behind it had been corroded.

Li Xun stepped through the gate effortlessly, his feet barely touching the ground.

The ancient temple boasted five courtyards, hundreds of halls and pavilions, and over ten large Buddhist halls. In the human world, this would be a grand undertaking, but in the Tongxuan Realm, it was barely a small temple, barely enough for a single person.

“Hmm, not only is it small, but it smells strange too!” Li Xun’s nose twitched. Besides the thick, damp air, there was also a faint scent of blood. Following the scent, Li Xun avoided the main hall and found the source of the odor in a Buddhist temple off to the side of the front courtyard.

The Buddha statue enshrined in the temple had long been smashed to pieces. Beneath the altar, the ground had sunk into a pit about ten feet in diameter, its depth unknown. Within the pit lay a mess of flesh and blood, thick, turbid blood swirling slightly, as if a fire was burning beneath the ground, a cauldron of flesh and blood about to boil.

He frowned, broke off a branch from outside the temple, and probed the bottom: “One foot, three-tenths and three-tenths…” Without stopping, he made his way to the other side of the temple.

As he’d expected, there was another similar pit there, of similar length and depth, but filled with a pool of yellow water, with fragments of limbs floating on it.

Li Xun toured the ancient temple. Thirteen pits, encompassing six main halls, four Buddhist halls, two bell towers, and a rear courtyard, were found. The pit in the main hall, three meters in diameter, was still clear of blood. The remaining twelve, save for the first Buddhist hall he’d reached, were filled with yellow water.

After his investigation, Li Xun stood in a relatively clean side hall, frowning in thought.

“Thirteen blood pits… ‘Blood Refining Technique’ indeed.”

Others might not have known, but how could he not? These Thirteen Blood Pits were more than a simple matter of digging a pit. To cultivate the ‘Burning Blood Essence’, the Thirteen Blood Pits required the foundation of earth fire and the use of sophisticated forbidden techniques to connect vital energy, allowing the pure essence to flow freely within the thirteen pits for its miraculous effects. Could simply digging a few pits here be enough? But with the facts before him, Li Xun couldn’t help but believe it.

After a moment’s thought, he formed a spiritual incantation with his fingers and was about to unleash it when a sudden thought struck him. His gaze shifted, glancing towards the shadows nearby. He shouted in a deep voice, “Who?”

“Master Li, it’s me!”

It was an ordinary response, but the speaker was anything but ordinary.

As the words came in, a slender figure gracefully stepped out, bowing slightly.

Li Xun was startled at first, but quickly composed himself and politely returned the greeting. “It’s Madam Yu. I was reckless earlier, so please forgive me!”

After a pause, he cautiously asked, “Is it all right to talk here?”

“Master, don’t worry, it’s all right!” The female cultivator who emerged smiled faintly, and for a moment, the dim hall seemed to brighten, as if struck by the cultivator’s stunning beauty.

Li Xun was no stranger to the world, and naturally, he was quite tempted by the beauty of the cultivator before him. However, the crucial factor was that he knew her so well that he couldn’t harbor any evil thoughts.

The female cultivator before him was none other than the maidservant of Yu Sanren, the master of the North Pole Yamo Heaven, one of the Ten Councilors of the Loose Cultivators Alliance, and one of the Three Loose Cultivators of the Tongxuan Realm. She was the last of the “Five Wandering Maids of Wonderful Transformation,” named Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu.

While a maidservant, she was in reality a concubine. Therefore, Li Xun respectfully addressed her as “Madam.”

If that were all, it would be fine, but Li Xun remembered clearly that before being taken in as a concubine by Yu Sanren, this woman had another identity—Yin Sanren’s biological sister and Qin Wanru’s mother.

After meeting the two women, no one could deny the subtle blood connection. Beyond their vaguely similar facial features, the mother and daughter also shared a similar aura: both possessed a delicate and captivating allure.

However, Qin Wanru, despite her weakness, possessed a tenacity that was unable to be thwarted, making it impossible for men to truly conquer her. Meanwhile, Yu Shi, beneath her softness, possessed a gentleness like water, so gentle that it could dissolve any hardness—at least on the surface.

Li Xun didn’t mind that she was Yu Sanren’s concubine, and certainly didn’t care that Yin Sanren had become a puppet. However, he and Qin Wanru had been i*imate, and in this situation, facing Yu Shi, even though she was completely unaware, he felt a sense of embarrassment and naturally avoided dwelling on it.

Yu Shi, of course, didn’t know what Li Xun was thinking, but she had dealt with him more than once over the decades and knew how ruthless and sinister this seemingly sage monk could be.

Although this person has been very smart over the years, she still didn’t dare to be careless, and said with a gentle smile: “Master Li, please come here to help. I am grateful. But, Master, you seem to be a little late?”

“Ah, I met an enemy on the way and was delayed for some time.” Li Xun found an excuse casually, and then changed the subject to what he was puzzled about: “Senior Sister wants me to do something, I have no objection, but I always feel that there is no reason for today’s incident. Madam Yu, are you willing to help me solve the confusion?”

“No reason?”

“Yes, a mere Xiao Chongzi doesn’t seem to be worth our fuss, unless he has something else on him…”

“Master Li!” Yu Shi suddenly interrupted him, there was no dissatisfaction on her gentle face, but her gentle tone had a meaning that made Li Xun pay attention.

“I’m sorry I can’t say too much about what Miss Wuyou ordered. And I also think that it would be enough for you as long as you do what Miss asked you to do!”

Li Xun grinned slightly, as if he was smiling, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, which was clearly another meaning. He stared at Yu Shi’s pretty face, and finally nodded: “Of course.”

Yu Shi smiled gently and said: “In that case, I will go back and report. I’ll have to ask you to take care of the Southeast Forest Sea!”

Li Xun frowned slightly and said: “Why, Madam Yu is leaving? Is Senior Sister leaving all the things here to me?”

“Your Excellency, you are too kind. With your ability, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake!”

Li Xun twitched his mouth, said nothing, and just looked at her.

Yu Shi didn’t look at him, but smiled lightly, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: “Yes, Miss Wuyou also left a message for the real person: If it is really difficult, or if Xiao Chongzi is looking for death himself, don’t worry about him, just don’t let anyone know!”

“Huh?” Li Xun was really surprised this time. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He seemed to have found some clues, but he couldn’t see clearly. But one thing is certain –

the Loose Cultivator Alliance has just endured for ten years, is it going to make a move again?

Li Xun thought about this problem for a long time after Yu Shi left, but there was too little information after all, and he couldn’t see clearly. But he was a person who could take it or leave it, so he stopped thinking about it and shifted his attention to the things at hand.

“If it’s really as Yu Shi said, this matter would be easy. All we need to do is kill Xiao Chongzi secretly and then destroy the body, wouldn’t that be it?”

Li Xun sneered. He knew that this idea was fine to think about, but if he really did it, that little demon would never let him go. He had better do it step by step… Hey, what was he thinking just now?

His eyes swept across the gloomy hall, Li Xun thought for a moment, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

In a dense forest about fifty miles away from the Yaolei Ancient Temple.

The night was already deep. In this boundless forest, cicadas were singing softly and frogs were croaking. Li Xun’s eyes were not restricted by the darkness. He glanced around to confirm that there were no loopholes in the restrictions he had set up. Then he pinched the spiritual formula and slowly unfolded the “Bone Meridians to Heart” technique he learned from Zhong Yin.

The secret method tailored for him by Zhong Yin was indeed extraordinary.

Guided by the incantation, his internal Qi shifted, and the art of soul-transferring reincarnation spontaneously emerged. In an instant, the essence and energy transformed. The once wispy, flowing Xuanmen True Qi suddenly expanded with a “boom,” transforming into a surging Yin Fire. It expanded and contracted at the Danzhong chakra before returning to a deep silence. It

wasn’t just the essence of the True Qi that shifted; the muscles, bones, and Qi meridians all underwent subtle and profound changes in this transformation.

His once gentle, graceful features, shifted and transformed by the shifting of a few muscles and the loss of color, transformed into a completely different person. While still handsome, his expression held an indescribable coldness and strangeness.

If the two faces were placed side by side, it would be difficult to find the slightest resemblance.

This transformation wasn’t solely the result of the “Bone Meridians Open Heart” technique, but rather a profound alteration of the contours of his bones and muscles, incorporating the “Faceless Armor” disguise technique and the “Bone Meridians Open Heart” technique.

After more than sixty years of continuous improvement, even those who knew him best wouldn’t be able to discern the difference.

Li Xun touched his cheek, and after confirming everything was correct, he smiled with satisfaction, and several strange lines appeared on his face.

He coughed lightly, and the air beside him trembled slightly. A slender figure appeared silently, holding out a hand as pure as jade. In the palm of his hand was a bracelet as black as ink, the black and white distinct and particularly eye-catching.

Li Xun took off the jade evil-repelling jade, the wind feather needle and other ornaments, let his hair down, and took off his outer robe. Only then did he take the bracelet from the jade palm and put it on his left wrist.

The slender figure first accepted the various treasures, then moved silently behind him. With nimble fingers, she quickly helped him tie a Taoist bun that was slightly different from before, and then helped him change into the dark blue Taoist robe with a gold collar that had been prepared long ago, and tied it with a jade belt.

With that, the world lost a rising star of the Mingxin Sword Sect and gained a prominent disciple of the Youhun Shiying Sect.

The deep darkness provided the perfect cover. As the slender figure vanished into the void, Li Xun rose and called out, “Youyi!”

A majestic figure materialized across the air, standing beside Li Xun. He was shrouded in a vast black robe, even his face was enveloped by a faint, dark aura, obscuring his features. Only his eyes, shimmering with crimson light and imbued with murderous intent, could be seen.

Li Xun gently stroked the Seven Ghosts Ring on his wrist and whispered, “Go to the ancient temple by the lake and take a look. Come back and tell me what you find!”

Youyi nodded silently, his majestic figure suddenly taking flight, quickly vanishing into the void.

Li Xun briefly calculated the energy required to summon the puppet, pondered, and called out, “You Er!”

The slender figure that had previously vanished into thin air reappeared, cloaked in a hooded black robe. Only her eyes, clear as water yet sharp as a knife, were visible.

Even after over sixty years of experience with the puppet, Li Xun didn’t want to meet her gaze. He whispered, “Take off your hood!”

Without hesitation, You Er brushed off her hood, revealing her stunning form.

Sixty years had left not a single mark on her. Though pale, her skin, precisely because of this, was like jade, cool and smooth, without a single flaw. Beautiful… like a jade statue!

Li Xun’s fingers slid across her cheek, feeling the delicate touch, yet also the chill that seeped into her veins. You Er’s expression remained unchanged. Li Xun could see it clearly, and he frowned, saying, “Smile for me!”

You Er glanced at him and smiled. While her beauty was certainly striking, in Li Xun’s eyes, it lacked a certain unrestrained, yet restrained, charm. She was a far cry from the woman she was back then!

Li Xun sighed. He wasn’t just playing around; the feather servant suddenly reminded him of Qin Wanru.

For sixty years, Qin Wanru had been in constant contact with him. Besides the so-called Yin Fu Jing, she also had other things, as Li Wangju had speculated, such as intelligence and thugs.

Of course, this was a matter of mutual understanding. Qin Wanru hoped to exploit his knowledge of him. Li Xun, too, wanted to exploit You Er and gain advantage from her. However, to Li Xun’s distress, the resurrection of the two Youxuan puppets proved far more complicated than he had anticipated.

In terms of pure intelligence, both Youyi and Youer were now no less intelligent than anyone else, especially in combat acumen, which had almost returned to its previous level. Furthermore, their “memories from their previous lives” had also been largely restored.

However, the key to their spiritual intelligence was far more complex. Perhaps the two puppets had regained their memories, and had developed a mindset that drew inferences from the subtle to the profound.

However, this was merely a “should do,” not a “will do.” In other words, the two puppets’ burgeoning spiritual intelligence still lacked a core “self”!

This might be the safest and most secure puppet mode, but Li Xun didn’t want it that way.

Regardless of personal desires or authoritative texts, Youyi and Youer, Xuan puppets refined from the body of Zhenyi, were supposed to “do what they were told to do, and do what they were told not to do.” In other words, the puppets had their own principles and judgments, yet under the control of their “controller,” they would obey unconditionally.

This is the highest realm of puppetry. Li Xun wasn’t so impetuous as to claim he’d reached the pinnacle of this art within sixty or seventy years, but could he truly face Qin Wanru in his current state?

“The meeting at Mount Mocang in two months won’t be easy!”

Li Xun sighed. Meanwhile, Youyi had returned.

Li Xun had released Youyi for “training,” and it seemed he was doing quite well.

Youyi spoke in a deep voice, “…Eleven of the thirteen blood pits have been used, and the work is nearly complete. However, the ‘materials’ required by the main hall master haven’t been obtained. It must have been interrupted unexpectedly. Also, the layout of these thirteen pits…” He paused before continuing, “Perhaps it’s the innate earthly fire acupoint!”

This was a rare instance of humaneness in the puppet’s tone, a pleasant surprise. By comparison, the meaning behind his words was less important.

Li Xun’s heart moved, and he praised and said: “Very good, go on!”

At this time, Youyi’s eyes were indeed very human. He swept across Li Xun’s face and said in a deep voice: “There must be underground fire under the blood pit. The overall layout is okay, the details are rough, and the level is average. However, the underground fire is too pure. It should not be attracted after birth, but innate.

“This person just made such an effect by laying out the situation… The stuff under the blood pit is more interesting than the blood pit itself!”

At first, the voice was still a little awkward, but it became more and more fluent. When he summarized at the end, he even had some of the style of the blood wanderer back then!

Li Xun’s heart was shocked, and he stared at his eyes. The light seemed to have a little more agility in the flow. He was happy in his heart, knowing that this familiar scene allowed Youyi’s consciousness and memory to further merge, and the degree of spiritual consciousness resurrection was further improved.

However, Youyi’s words did remind him: “Innate fire orifice? This is strange. The forest and sea are full of moisture, and there are rivers crisscrossing the ground and underground. How could these thirteen earth fire orifices exist here innately, and there is no trace at all? If you say there is no ban, no one will believe it…”

But where is the ban? The problem seems to be more complicated!

“The ancient temple’s ban is hidden and not revealed. If it were not for the thirteen blood pits, people might not be able to see the clues. The person who set the ban is probably more sophisticated than me. I just don’t know if it is a ‘twist in the road’, ‘scattered stars in the sky’ or ‘great ingenuity without words’! “

The three techniques he was thinking of were the signature forbidden techniques of the Huixuan Sect, the Xingji Sword Sect, and the Buyan Sect.

In Li Xun’s opinion, the only techniques in the entire Tongxuan Realm that could make him admit defeat could only come from these three forbidden technique sects. He sat down under a tree, casually broke off a branch, and gestured on the ground. The layout of the ancient temple was already in his mind.

He was probably more familiar with the location and layout of the thirteen blood pits than that half-hearted cultivator. When he just flew out, he took in the surrounding terrain. Now all he had to do was to put himself in the shoes of the person who set the ban and see how he would do it.

Although the methods of each sect were different, they all relied on the vast avenue, and all laws were interconnected. Li Xun was also confident that he could make his village resemble that of the master from that year.

As he progressed, his interest in the ancient temple’s containment grew.

“With the Thirteen Fire Apertures as its core, and the seawater veins of the forest and water converged, the water and fire complement each other, revealing nothing. What kind of treasure could be locked away by such a containment?”

In comparison, that Xiao Chongzi pales in comparison.

Perhaps this explains the strangeness of the Pluto Sect, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and even the Succubus Sect condescending to visit.

While Li Xun pondered how to seal the ancient temple, Yuan Nan’s face grimaced, his muscles twitching, making him look even more hideous in the vast lake surrounding it. “How could a mere Xiao Chongzi kill Yuan Shuo and Yuan Zhang? And with such a clean and efficient method?”

Song Yuanchi rose from Yuan Shuo’s corpse, his expression unpleasant, but his straight face made him appear much calmer than Yuan Nan. In fact, he was indeed the Pluto Sect’s think tank, far more patient than the somewhat volatile Yuan Nan.

“The fatal injury was indeed the ‘Blood God Tribulation Finger’. The extraordinary meridians were severed, and both blood and energy were depleted. This is correct. But…”

Song Yuanchi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I have met Xiao Chongzi face to face. With his cultivation level, Yuan Shuo alone would be enough to kill him ten times if he did not underestimate the enemy. To get rid of two people at the same time so cleanly and swiftly, with such weak energy fluctuations, is absolutely impossible from a common sense perspective!”

Yuan Nan glanced at him and said coldly, “But now they are dead!”

Song Yuanchi knew his temperament and did not care. He just sighed and said, “Yes, that’s why it’s unreasonable… Great Honored One, is it possible that someone is interfering behind the scenes?”

Yuan Nan’s eyes swept over, and Song Yuanchi knew what he was thinking. He said calmly, “This is not an excuse for our failure, but in the past few days, when we were chasing Xiao Chongzi, accidents always occurred at critical moments.

“It seems like some strange beasts are interfering, traces have disappeared, and even a few independent cultivators ‘accidentally’ bumped into us… It seems like a coincidence, but if they are connected, I’m afraid it’s not that simple!”

Yuan Nan frowned. Although he was a bit stubborn, he still valued Song Yuanchi as the sect’s think tank. When Song Yuanchi said that, he also remembered something.

“Isn’t this a secret? Now that you mention it, I also thought of it. On the way today, I saw a group of bastards from the Zhu Gou Sect wandering around. I thought they were just passing by, but now I can’t say for sure…”

“Zhu Gou Sect? They are unique in the world in concealing assassinations! Could it be…”

“That’s right, of course, it could also be that Baigui guy! In this way, we should hurry up to search for that Xiao Chongzi. In addition, I will immediately send a letter to the sect, requesting the support of at least two venerables. Also, let Yuanlong and others from the north come back to help. What Lingzhu said may not be true. It needs to be verified… “

It is necessary to verify, but everyone present understands that with Lingzhu’s status, it is impossible for her to speak nonsense. She just said that she is doing her best.

The atmosphere is quite depressing. Apart from Yuan Nan, everyone in the field is one of the Eighteen Hades Generals. Although they cannot dominate the world, they have few rivals after all. They are used to being arrogant. When did they become the target of being slaughtered? After a few months, one third of the Eighteen Hades Generals were gone!

Song Yuanchi didn’t feel good, but he had thought it through. He frowned slightly and lowered his voice a little: “Your Majesty, for this matter, it is not very prudent to let all the elite of the sect come here. Why not let ‘them’…”

“Shut up!” A cold light flashed in Yuannan’s narrow eyes, which made Song Yuanchi shudder, but soon, Yuannan controlled his emotions, and his ugly face became even ten times deeper than before.

“If we let them come, what else can we gain? They were the ones who dominated Xuanhai originally, and it was they who leaked the news about Xiao Chongzi this time. They have the initiative everywhere. If we can’t get some benefits in advance, are we going to wait until the alliance is signed and then let them slaughter us?”

Song Yuanchi certainly understood this, but he knew even more clearly that the Southeast Forest Sea at this moment might not be as simple as Yuan Nan imagined. The reinforcements sent might not be of any use. Instead, we should pray that we don’t lose both the wife and the army.

He sighed secretly, and listened to Yuan Nan say: “The Demon Thunder Ancient Temple is also an important place, so send…”

“Great Honored! “Song Yuanchi interrupted Yuan Nan’s words. At this moment, he didn’t care whether it was rude or not.

He just forced a smile and said, “Your Majesty, haven’t you heard that if it’s empty, make it real, and if it’s real, make it empty…” He stopped talking halfway and his eyes swept over the two corpses on the sandbar.

Yuan Nan immediately understood his implication and glanced at them in the same way. His ugly face became gloomy. After a long time, he said “Okay”. He no longer mentioned sending people to guard, and asked people to take the bodies of the two Hades generals and retreat to the other side of the lake.

But they didn’t know that a pair of deep eyes were watching them retreat.
