Chapter 1577: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
Fairyland, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Cang was very pleased.

With the help of Ku Liu Tianjun, he subdued the Nine Heavens and Eight Emperors and ordered them to wipe out the rebels in the Immortal Court.

However... now that rumors are spreading, Emperor Cang also senses the intentions of the Eight Emperors.
When he thought of this, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Emperor Cang's eyes.

"Jiutian actually took the opportunity to accumulate reputation for the rebellious son. If that's the case, let them attack Daohai directly."

He went to Yangtian and discussed his thoughts on the matter with Kuliu Tianjun.

Ku Liu Tianjun nodded slightly: "I have heard that Dao Hai is very powerful. Now that we are determined to wipe out the rebels, we should naturally focus on Dao Hai. Otherwise, wouldn't it give Dao Hai a chance to become more powerful?"

Emperor Cang smiled and said, "The Lord of Heaven is indeed wise and has extraordinary insight."

Then the decree of the Immortal Court was passed on to the hands of the Nine Heavens and Eight Emperors.

The eight emperors were leading their troops outside. After hearing the news, they sat together to discuss the matter.

Emperor Liu Xi suggested: "In my opinion, we should unite with Li Yanchu and pool our strength. I'm afraid that a single Lord of Withered Willow will not be able to cause any trouble."

Wei Xuanji said quickly, "No, Li is very clear about gratitude and resentment, and is decisive in killing. Jiuyou had previously plotted to harm him, but he killed him in public. How can we benefit from joining forces with him?"

Emperor Liu Xi was also a little worried when he heard this.

Wei Xuanji continued, "Besides, if we, Jiutian, unite with Daohai, wouldn't others say that we are colluding with the rebels? It would also destroy our prestige."

"That's right." Zhao Mao agreed. "Now our relationship with Dao Hai is like fire and water, and it is irreconcilable. Even if we join forces for a short period of time, doesn't he worry that we will attack him from behind?"

Zhao Mao suddenly smiled: "If Daohai really intends to join forces, I really want to stab him in the back and destroy them directly."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Wei Xuanji said sternly: "Now we want to push the Sixth Prince up. If we unite with Daohai, will Daohai still submit to us? Sooner or later there will be a battle."

Although Emperor Mingchong Jingqing had the highest level of cultivation, he had never paid much attention to worldly affairs. At this moment, he had his hands folded in his sleeves, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Emperor Fu Yue said unhappily, "Everyone is discussing, what are you thinking about?"

Emperor Mingchong smiled.

"Your Majesty asked us to wipe out Dao Hai, so we will go there on our own. There is no need to think about such trouble."

Emperor Fu Yue was stunned for a moment: "Do you mean to say that we are really going to attack Daohai?"

"Of course." Emperor Mingchong said as a matter of course: "As the saying goes, there is no constant in war. I originally wanted to use Daohai to wipe out the Xianting rebels, but now it is not bad for us to do it ourselves. If Daohai is not eliminated, he will eventually become a serious threat."

Emperor Fu Yue was moved.

Looking at this man who has always been cynical and indifferent to worldly affairs, he said slowly after a moment: "This is really not like you to say it."

Emperor Mingchong laughed and said, "I said I didn't want to say it, but you forced me to say it, and after I said it, you said this to me."

Emperor Helu said: "Fellow Daoist Jingqing is right, but should we ask Heavenly Monarch Kuliu to deal with Li Yanchu? Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be casualties among the eight of us."

Emperor Mingchong nodded slightly: "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking just now."

Emperor Fu Yue glanced at him and said, "Only by annihilating Dao Hai can we pacify the chaos in the Immortal Court. I would like to ask Heavenly Monarch Ku Liu to help."

Originally, the Ninth Emperor wanted to stay out of the fight and let others kill each other, but now that he saw the situation was not good, he made another plan.

Emperor Mingchong's eyes were full of sharpness.
"Since the Heavenly Monarch Ku Liu is here, we should naturally ask him to help. Submitting to the Heavenly Monarch will also help us preserve our position in the Nine Heavens."

Everyone agreed with this.

Wei Xuanji smiled and said, "I have long said that Daoist Fellow Jingqing is open-minded. This is the kind of person who can accomplish great things."

Emperor Mingchong said in a deep voice: "After Jiuyou's death, the Jianzhou Cave Abyss disappeared. In my opinion, this matter has something to do with Li Yanchu. The few caves in his hands will definitely not be kept when he is defeated. Everyone should pay attention to collect them."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.

Li Yanchu's wealth and power today is really attractive.

The Sixth Prince sneered in his heart.

He knew that Jiu Tian wanted to push him out not because he was so capable, but because they felt he was easy to control and of lower seniority.

The Sixth Prince thought to himself, "Emperor Mingchong has always presented himself as someone who doesn't care about worldly affairs, but that's just one of his tactics. He thinks he has the world in his hands, so naturally he can act generous."

"Now, the underworld is threatened by the Styx Patriarch, and was defeated by the Withered Willow Heavenly Monarch, and the Yangtian was occupied. This is quite stimulating."

"It seems that even if I take the throne of the Immortal Emperor in the future, I will only be a puppet."

The Sixth Prince was thinking in his mind.

This is not because he is suspicious. He just killed Daozhen.
Although his fame has accumulated,

However, Emperor Mingchong and others threatened to keep Daozhen's wealth for themselves.

The three supreme sticks in Daozhen's hand, the Nine Heavens Black Iron Stick, and the Nine Li Cave Abyss,
The Sixth Prince gained nothing.

He naturally understood in his heart that these people looked down on him.

"They want to support a benevolent and generous emperor, and they don't want me to be too smart and counter them."

On the surface, the Sixth Prince was chatting and laughing with everyone, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"In fact, there may be flaws in the Immortal Emperor technique that Master taught me, but now is not the time to turn hostile."

"Father has now received the help of Heavenly Monarch Kuliu, and is in the limelight. Jiutian still wants to push me out. It is obvious that he wants to challenge Father and use me as a weapon."

"Once something happens to Daohai, I'm afraid the conflict between me and my father will be irreconcilable."

The Sixth Prince had this thought and sent a message to someone in the cave. When they left the battlefield and headed for Jiuting, an immortal also flew into the sky riding on golden light.

He was flying towards Daohai.

This is a tall young man, Qin Wuwang, the eldest son of the Fire Department’s Heavenly Master.

He was on good terms with the Sixth Prince, and after seizing the Jade Box from the Fire Lord, he had been under the protection of the Sixth Prince.

Now he went to Daohai to deliver the message.

As a close confidant of the Sixth Prince, he rushed to Daohai and revealed his identity, and the immortal Daohai welcomed him in.

When Li Yan first saw Qin Wuwang, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When they were being hunted down by the Fire Tribe's Heavenly Master, several of Qin Wuwang's brothers were killed by him in that battle.

At that time, Li Yanchu and he were wary of each other and did not fight to the death.

The jade box that guards the Fire Department is indeed an extraordinary treasure.

Qin Wuwang also felt a little guilty and bowed quickly.

"Meet the Emperor."

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice: "Just now you said that you had important information to reveal to me, what is it?"

Qin Wuwang said: "Jiutian received the decree from the Immortal Court to attack Daohai, but he refused to help. Now he is asking the Heavenly Monarch Kuliu to help. The Sixth Prince specially sent me to deliver the message."

Lao Liu is a traitor... Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is he so kind?"

Qin Wuwang said sincerely: "The Sixth Prince has always regarded the Emperor as a good friend. If the Emperor is in trouble, how can the Sixth Prince not come to call the police?"

Li Yanchu sneered, "Would Lao Liu be so kind?"

Qin Wuwang sighed, "The Sixth Prince has no control over many things, but he has always respected the Emperor very much in his heart."

Li Chu smiled and said, "Old Six, are you asking me to be your lobbyist?"

"Unfortunately, I can't deal with the current Lord Ku Liu, and Daohai is about to be destroyed."

Qin Wuwang advised: "The Emperor must make preparations early. Jiutian and Kuliu Tianjun can join forces to avoid their edge first." Li Yanchu had previously moved Daohai into the Golden Immortal Ancestral Court and disappeared in the Three Realms. No one could find his whereabouts.

This is obviously what Qin Wuwang meant.

retreat!

Li Yanchu shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but now that we have started the war, we cannot give up halfway. I will make some preparations, you go back first."

Qin Wuwang bowed and saluted: "Let me stay with the emperor and help him in the future."

Li Yanchu probed: "You and I had some grudges before."

Qin Wuwang said calmly: "The Emperor can accommodate the various Heavenly Lords, so why can't he accommodate a little Qin Wuwang?"

Li Yanchu thought: "This person can send a message to Lao Liu, he must be his confidant, he won't surrender without any reason, this is an open conspiracy, Lao Liu has good intentions."

Li Yanchu said calmly: "I won't kill you today because you came here on purpose to report the news, but if you say another word, I will chop off your head."

Qin Wuwang: “………………”

He has scheming, skill, and talent.

This time, surrendering to Dao Hai would just be the perfect opportunity to serve as the Sixth Prince's internal supporter. The two of them had already planned everything, both real and fake.

But Li Yanchu was so stubborn that it really gave him a headache.

"It's a pity to meet such a reckless man."

Qin Wuwang knew that Li Yanchu was serious about killing him, and it was not a lie, so he could only leave for the time being.

"A domineering and arrogant guy." Qin Wuwang sighed in his heart.

If we act in this way, how can we gather talented people from all over the world?

After Qin Wuwang left, Li Yanchu's eyes showed determination.

"Without a bloody battle, the Immortal Court will not surrender."

Li Yanchu didn't think about it anymore and continued to practice the Infinite Golden Body and practice his martial arts skills.

...............

Ninth day, sunny day.

After listening to everyone's report, Ku Liu Tianjun's face turned cold.

"It's just a Dao Hai, but you are afraid of this and that, looking ahead and behind, and you insist on asking me to take action."

"No wonder the Immortal Realm is in such a mess. The Nine Emperors really are doing nothing."

Emperor Mingchong bowed and said, "Please help us, Lord Tian. This thief has a strong temper and we are really afraid of him. It is safest for us to subdue him."

The withered willow lord smiled slightly.
Emperor Mingchong was the number one person in the Nine Heavens, and being so humble really pleased him.

But just when everyone thought that Ku Liu Tian Jun would agree,
The face of the Heavenly Monarch Kuliu darkened again.
"Your Majesty has issued an order, but you don't carry it out, and instead come to bother me? I won't blame you this time, but if you do this again next time, I will punish you severely!"

Everyone's face suddenly changed when they heard this.

The withered willow celestial monarch said in a deep voice: "If you can't even take down a small Dao Sea, what use are you? No need to say more, send troops to Dao Sea immediately and take your disciples with you!"

After the eight emperors left Yangtian, their faces looked very solemn.

He led his disciples down the mountain for nine days and returned to the military camp.

…………

After everyone left, Emperor Cang walked out of the Imperial Palace and bowed to Lord Kuliu.

"We asked them to go to Daohai, but they refused to do so. It's clear that they have ulterior motives and want to push you to the front."

Now that he has fallen out with the Nine Emperors, the only person he can rely on is this Heavenly Monarch Kuliu, so naturally he speaks to him in a more familiar manner.

The Heavenly Lord Ku Liu sneered, "The Nine Emperors have been sitting in this position for too long, and they think that the world can be manipulated at their will. They want me to go and fight just by saying a few nice words. What do they need these lackeys for? It's better to kill them all and vacate the position of the Nine Heavens Nine Emperors."

Emperor Cang deeply agreed with this and felt relieved. He bowed and said, "Senior, what you said makes sense."

At this time, Yunqing Tianzun came to report.

Yunqing Tianzun also has many immortals under his command, collecting intelligence everywhere.

"Your Majesty, Mount Xumi has reappeared in the abnormal area of ​​the immortal path, but there is no one in the mountain, and there are many traces left everywhere, as if it had experienced a war."

Emperor Cang was surprised and said, "With the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti in Mount Xumi, how could anything go wrong?"

Even he could no longer find the entrance to Mount Sumeru, which was hidden in the void.

Although I know it is probably in the Immortal Emperor's abnormal area, I don't know which level of space it is in.

The eyes of the Heavenly Lord Ku Liu lit up: "Is there such a thing? Your Majesty, I will go with you."

Afterwards, the two of them boarded the dragon chariot, traveled light, and flew directly from the Ninth Heaven to the abnormal area of ​​the Immortal Path.

…………

The abnormal area of ​​the immortal way.

The new path is flourishing here, and maybe in a few years it should not be called an abnormal area, but just a part of the Immortal Court.

Li Yanchu extracted the old Heavenly Dao power and refined the Heavenly Dao artifact.

Now this place is completely dominated by the new way.

They came to Mount Sumeru, where traces of horrific battles remained everywhere.

Celestial Monarch Kuliu turned around in Mount Xumi and nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, there was a great battle. There was more than one person who attacked. It was such a cruel method that the entire Western Sect was wiped out!"

Emperor Cang looked fierce but was actually weak: "I don't know who could have done this to be so cruel and ruthless!"

Western religions are also his reliance.

Although we have gradually become estranged during this period and have received no response to several requests for help, I never expected that the Western Church would be wiped out.

The Heavenly Monarch Ku Liu said in a deep voice: "The merging of the three realms is a time of great strife. Besides me, there are many Taoist friends who live in seclusion and cannot sit still."

Emperor Cang asked worriedly, "Senior, will this affect our efforts to recover the Immortal Realm?"

Ku Liu Tianjun shook his head and said, "It was not the Quasi-Saint who destroyed the Western Religion, otherwise they would not have fallen into such suffering."

Emperor Cang was surprised and asked, "What?"

Ku Liu Tianjun said: "There are more than one person's traces of Taoism left here, at least five or six. The incense of Mount Xumi has now been squandered. It can be seen that the battle between the two sides is intense. If there were a quasi-saint who took action, it would never be like this."

Emperor Cang pondered and said, "Now, the only ones in the Immortal Realm who are capable of dealing with the Western Religion are Dao Hai and the Nine Emperors."

The Heavenly Monarch Kuliu suddenly said, "In that case, the only one left is Daohai, the young Taoist priest surnamed Li."

Emperor Cang asked in confusion: "Why does the Lord of Heaven say this?"

Heavenly Monarch Ku Liu sneered, "If the Nine Emperors had such courage, why would they have waited until now? They are just mediocre people with their own agendas."

Emperor Cang chewed it carefully.
I think it makes a lot of sense.

Heavenly Monarch Ku Liu said in a deep voice: "Now I am even more curious, who will win between the Nine Heavens and Eight Emperors and Dao Hai?"

Emperor Cang was unsure for a moment, and was still a little surprised:
"Dao Hai destroyed the Western Religion?!"

It's a bit hard to believe.

How dare that Li? !
