Chapter 1323
"Ancestor, please calm down!"
When the Styx Ancestor, enraged, uttered these words, his remaining fifteen Demon Lords clasped their fists in unison and exclaimed!
"Calm down?"
"Xu Shan's existence has shaken the very foundation of the underground cave."
"If we cannot drag the other party into the underground cave in a short time and publicly execute them..."
"How can believers then devote themselves to offerings?"
"Without these offerings, where would the power of faith come from? And how could we suppress the eighteen levels of hell?"
"Furthermore, if the barbarians are annexed by the Ming Dynasty, there will be no one left to believe in the mortal realm."
"When and how will I reach the [Creation Realm]?"
What truly enraged the Styx Ancestor was not the successive deaths of the three Demon Lords.
In his view, as long as he was alive, he could train a disciple of the Demon Lord level at any time.
but now……
Not only the demons within the cavern began to doubt his control, but they also stopped offering him the necessary 'faith power'.
Even in the mortal realm, after the main force of the barbarian tribes and the royal family were successively slaughtered by Xu Shan's troops, there was no way to provide them with these things.
If this continues, he will be unable to suppress the eighteen levels of hell.
Inside, his sealed 'political enemies' are very likely to break free and threaten his rule over the underground world.
This is the most deadly.
"Ancestor, the underground cave is easy to handle."
“Just grab a few martial arts practitioners from the Ming Dynasty and execute them in front of the Styx Palace, and we can appease those Earth Demon believers.”
"As for the mortal realm..."
"Aren't the Celestials targeting the Ming Dynasty now?"
"We could absolutely get involved in their 'Death Knell Project'."
"After we succeed, we'll join forces to break the shackles of the mortal realm's rules. Then we'll support 'puppet' tribes like the barbarians and divide the world among ourselves."
"At that time, the power of faith required by the ancestor will remain stable."
The Styx King, who had stepped forward voluntarily, spoke softly.
As the most favored disciple of the Styx Ancestor, and ranking first among the Eighteen Demon Lords, he was also one of the few among the eighteen to have reached the Mahayana stage.
Furthermore, due to his early years of service to the barbarian tribes, he was also exceptionally brilliant in terms of overall planning and strategy.
After hearing Styx King's words, Styx Ancestor remained silent for a moment before saying, "I agree to the Heavenly Official's request for cooperation."
"But I have a few conditions."
"First, open the gates of hell in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's territory, allowing the Earth Demon to lead its forces into the mortal realm to lay its plans."
Currently, all the few remaining gates to hell in the mortal realm have been sealed by Xu Shan.
The Tianfeng tribe, located in the northwest, is one of the few groups that belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"Secondly, we will have the Tianfeng Clan Chief, Shangguan Jingteng, personally hand over his daughter, Shangguan Yan'er, to us."
"..."
After the Styx Ancestor put forward several conditions, [Shaoyin Xuanwang] said, "Ancestor, we can understand the other conditions."
"But secondly, why specifically name this Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Holy Maiden?"
After he finished speaking, King Styx immediately replied, "Your Majesty, you are unaware of the information from the Demon-Sealing Clan..."
"This Shangguan Yan'er is Xu Shan's woman. Moreover, it is said that she is already pregnant with his child."
"There is a lot of room for maneuver. For example, we could cast a curse on him and his mother. That way, we could completely restrain Xu Shan."
"I see."
"I just don't know if the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is willing to hand it over."
After the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] finished speaking, the [Nether River King] sneered, "Shangguan Jingteng has now been 'possessed' by his ancestor."
Whether she agrees or not is no longer up to her.
"Even the celestial beings would be pleased to see us use Shangguan Yan'er to cast a curse on Xu Shan."
"understood."
"King of the Styx".
"exist."
"You shall lead your troops into the mortal realm first, and rush to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Cast a spell upon them."
"The Blood Soul Curse will take some time. You must depart immediately."
"Yes."
"【Lesser Yin Mysterious King】, 【Greater Yin Fiend King】."
"The disciple is here!"
"You and your troops will patiently wait at the gates of hell before the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs."
"Once the Heavenly Official's pawns disturb the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty at the Imperial Mausoleum, the seal will loosen! You all, lead your troops out and, together with the Heavenly Official, slaughter all the martial artists in the mortal realm."
"Yes."
"The other kings will remain with me to guard the eighteen levels of hell."
"I sense that the one in the Asura Hell is becoming increasingly unruly."
"I will obey the ancestor's command."
Just before the Styx Ancestor issued the order...
Inside the lowest level of the eighteen levels of hell, the Asura Hell, a dark figure that had been sealed there for an unknown period of time suddenly opened its eyes.
In that instant, his scarlet eyes illuminated the entire pitch-black, endless Asura Hell with unparalleled clarity.
The thousands of lonely ghosts trapped here seemed to be awakened, cheering and jumping for joy.
Their king has awakened at this moment.
"Waited for a hundred years..."
"Old Ghost of the Styx, is your power of faith also beginning to fluctuate?"
"Were your three beloved disciples slaughtered, or did it happen in the mortal realm?"
"The one who made the move was Xu Shan, a martial artist from the mortal realm?"
"Good, good. Another Wutian."
"Lawless. Heh heh."
"Go out for me and find this Xu Shan."
"..."
After patiently explaining the situation, the dark figure suddenly activated the Yin energy accumulated over nearly a century.
'Clatter.'
The next second, the soul-locking chains that had been binding his soul and body emitted a piercing sound.
The entire Asura Hell was shaken to its core.
The seal that suppressed him also began to loosen at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of ghosts surged out.
Some were stopped, while others were lucky enough to reach the seventeenth floor, the sixteenth floor, and so on...
It wasn't until the Styx Ancestor discovered this and led his twelve demon kings to take action again that they were gradually resealed.
"That old scoundrel Shura..."
"You will never see the light of day again in your life."
Just as the voice of the Styx Ancestor echoed throughout the eighteen levels of hell...
Several ghosts that had 'luckily' escaped from the Asura Hell attached themselves to the nearby Earth Demon.
And they responded to the call of the Styx King.
Prepare to descend to the mortal realm through the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's [Gates of Hell] to fight!
Penglai, Tianyi Dao...
'boom! ’
A sudden clap of thunder caused the divination master Tianyi to abruptly open his eyes.
His eyes were filled with astonishment. After several of his disciples arrived one after another, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and exclaimed with wide eyes, "The first year of the Lower Cycle!"
"The world is in chaos."
"It's the work of celestial beings!"
"Earth Demon Turmoil".
"Disciples, listen to your orders."
"Have."
"Follow me to the capital."
"Yes."
Wudang Mountain...
The bells rang loudly.
Led by Song Yuanqiao, the Wudang disciples rushed to their master's place of cultivation as soon as possible.
"At the beginning of the year, wild geese fly south; in autumn, dragons begin to roam the river..."
"A harbinger of great chaos throughout the land!"
"You all guard Wudang Mountain well. Yuanqiao will accompany your master to the capital. If we go, we will not return."
“Yu Lianzhou has taken over.”
"I will obey my master's orders."
