As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1659: Chapter 435: Immortal Artisan’s Fifth Molting, Second Type of Primordial Dao Tribulation; State Preceptor Invites the Underworld to Join His Side

The Emperor heard this, his fingers gently tapping on the desk: ”Qian Yuan has failed repeatedly, should we attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect instead?”

”That could work, as long as we can amass the Divine Sect’s Qi Fortune...”

”These Divine Sects claimed allegiance to the Imperial Court, but it’s not genuine submission... After all, Qi Fortune hasn’t entered Great Vista, so it’s not considered true allegiance. Now, it’s just right...”

The Emperor gave a faint smile, unusually satisfied.

Although, the task of having the State Preceptor break Qian Yuan Dao City and capture Li Che alive seemed unlikely to be completed.

The Emperor didn’t care too much about that, though.

Because, the State Preceptor had accumulated a lot of Divine Sect’s Qi Fortune, and when the Qi Fortune of all the Divine Sects was gathered, attacking Qian Yuan would likely no longer be an issue.

In fact.

What truly troubled the Emperor was the Purple Mansion Divine Sect...

This Divine Sect with a long history like the Equal Heaven Temple was what the Emperor feared.

And relying on the power of Xie Yushen, it was absolutely impossible to break the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.

Xie Yushen had suffered two consecutive defeats against Qian Yuan, how could he break the Purple Mansion?

...

...

Crack crack—!!!

In Guangling Dao City.

Upon the Heavenly Dome, due to the clash and eruption of Divine Tribulation energy, countless thunderbolts brutally surfaced behind the dark clouds, intertwining in a network!

Many Human Head Toad Furnaces hovered in the air, surrounding the plump Yangxuan Grandmaster.

This Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect seemed somewhat frenzied and excited at this moment.

He opened his hands, as if awakening a dormant existence.

Within the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, from a Mysterious Temple, a grand divine light pillar burst forth, which appeared to rip the dark clouds, resonating ripples outward.

A figure dressed in a gray robe, hair streaked with white, slowly emerged from within the beam of light connecting the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Just as it appeared, even the air seemed to warp.

The howling winds and drifting snowflakes were dissolved into beads of water by the powerful energy, evaporating into mist mid-air, mingling between heaven and earth.

However, this mist presented a gray-black hue, leaving people unable to discern whether it was water mist or poison mist.

Gu Qianchi, who was facing Yangxuan Grandmaster, had a sudden change in expression.

”Poison Saint Yin Xuan?!”

Gu Qianchi apparently had heard of the name Grandmaster Yin Xuan, the two Grandmasters of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Yin Yang...

Back then, they were famous in the world, of which Gu Yinxuan was especially renowned as the Poison Saint.

His greatest renown was poisoning all the Grandmasters of the Dan Sect, erasing the Dan Sect from existence, allowing the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect to become the foremost Dan Sect of the time.

But, wasn’t Poison Saint Gu Yinxuan killed a millennium ago because he was universally abhorred?

Gu Yinxuan’s emergence did not bear a good expression.

His eyes seemed to be circulating a pitch-black radiance, slowly sweeping over, pausing momentarily upon Gu Qianchi, then resting on Xie Yushen and others below.

”The Imperial Court... attacking my Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?”

Gu Yinxuan said indifferently.

Gu Qianchi’s body tensed, a chill of horror rose in his heart for no apparent reason at the mention of Gu Yinxuan.

Moreover, the emergence of Gu Yinxuan turned the situation suddenly.

Gu Qianchi’s face was somewhat dark, could it be? Could it be?... How could the Imperial Court be so unlucky?

Repeated defeats in attacking Qian Yuan, could it be this attack on the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect will also end in defeat?

What luck does Xie Yushen have?

Always ramming into iron walls?

Gu Qianchi took a deep breath, one could only say the heritage of each Divine Sect was extraordinary.

Even the least reputable Heavenly Pill Divine Sect had its heritage.

Gu Yinxuan cast a light glance: ”Imperial Court, retreat.”

”Otherwise, this old man doesn’t mind keeping you all here.”

”Don’t doubt this old man, even if you have ten thousand troops, what of it, a speck of poison from this old man’s nail can poison you all.”

Gu Yinxuan said with a faint smile.

Having just emerged, he was naturally startled to find the court army attacking the sect and breaking the sect, but as a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, he couldn’t possibly watch idly as the sect he established was wiped out.

Allowing the sect’s Qi Fortune to flow away.

Xie Yushen sat in the palanquin, looking at the emerging Gu Yinxuan, his eyes slightly squinting.

Then, he revealed a faint smile.

Gu Yinxuan, the Poison Saint?

Gu Qianchi returned to the side of the palanquin, his face extremely gloomy: ”State Preceptor... that’s Poison Saint Gu Yinxuan, he’s not easy to deal with...”

”We haven’t prepared for his poison, we might not withstand it.”

Gu Qianchi said solemnly.

Being of the same era as Gu Yinxuan, Gu Qianchi understood the terror of Gu Yinxuan.

However, Xie Yushen’s face shone with brilliant radiance, showing no fear or retreat.

”Grandmaster Gu, do you know... why I’m daring to lead an army to attack the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?”

”Instead of continuing to attack the Qian Yuan Divine Sect?”

Gu Qianchi naturally shook his head in confusion.

Xie Yushen stood up from the palanquin, the breeze blowing, making the robe on his body rustle loudly.

He lightly waved his feather fan, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He gazed at the sky above the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect Mountain Gate, where the Yin Yang Grandmasters, two Divine Tribulation Realm Grandmasters, hovered.

Gu Yinxuan was noticeably stronger than Gu Yangxuan, his cultivation likely reaching the Realm of One Disaster and Two Tribulations, existing at the same level as the Old Dragon God.

As for Gu Yangxuan, he was merely at the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm.

The two Divine Tribulations...

But actually, in the present Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, only these two Divine Tribulations remain to hold the fort, nothing more.

The Ascending Immortal Pavilion emptied Guangling Dao City and similarly emptied the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.

Besides...

The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect offended someone it should not have offended.

”Grandmaster Gu, in this world, there are never eternal enemies, only... eternal interests.”

”Those who once impeded our venture to destroy the sect can also become our allies.”

Xie Yushen said with deep meaning.

Gu Qianchi heard this and his brow slightly furrowed, somewhat confused.

Xie Yushen... What does he mean?

As Xie Yushen finished speaking, he flipped his palm, revealing a jet-black chess piece, seemingly polished from an inkstone.

This is...

A surge of extremely violent aura erupted from the jet-black chess piece.

The next moment, it was suddenly cast into the air.

As it was tossed up, the black chess piece seemed to tremble slightly, then rapidly shot towards the sky.

Gu Qianchi was stunned.

Soon, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Because...

The ink-colored chess piece suddenly expanded and grew in the air!

Thereafter, a jet-black city emerged violently, looming between heaven and earth!

Swirling death qi, vast and immense pressure, like a terrifying city controlling the gates of life and death, hovered menacingly above Guangling Dao City.

The dreadful and violent aura erupted, as if a raging demonic energy intertwined.

The city gate swung open...

As if countless ink drifted out, slowly using the sky as canvas, sketching the terrifying figure of a fierce beast!

Nine heads, reminiscent of a Divine Dragon, frantically thrashed out from behind the city gate, although seven were quite blurry, only two were perfectly clear.

The two clear dragon heads opened their mouths, letting out a deafening roar, the violent aura dominating heaven and earth!

With the city shaking, the terrifying fierce beast with nine thrashing heads slowly crawled out of the city.

The two ink-colored wings spread abruptly, covering the sky and blocking the sun!

Swish, swish...

Unknowingly, ink-colored rain began to fall from the sky!

Swish, swish, extremely vast!

As if a giant wave in the ocean surged into the sky, then fell rapidly, transforming into torrents of rain.

Amid the Underworld’s ten beasts...

Sea Flipping Nine Infants!

Gu Qianchi looked up.

The hand clutching the treasure sword trembled slightly.

He glanced at this terrifying fierce beast and instinctively felt its extreme terror... undoubtedly a Devil God level existence of the Divine Tribulation Realm!

Yet...

That’s not the main point!

Gu Qianchi looked in confusion at this city...

This extremely familiar city.

Not just Gu Qianchi...

Ning Caisen, Gu Cheng, and many Martial Saints of the court army, along with Divine Fetus Practitioner commanders, all gazed vacantly.

On that city’s plaque, the characters ”Fengdu” were inscribed.

Two familiar yet glaring characters.

The Underworld Fengdu?!

Days ago, they were battling fiercely with the Underworld, brutally to the extreme...

Now, the State Preceptor’s quick-witted persuasion brought the Underworld over?!

So...

The Underworld... has become one of us?!
