Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

The figure of Taoist Master Kong Zun appeared out of nowhere like an eternal demon mountain, tearing apart the dark mist above the underworld. The overwhelming and irresistible pressure caused the eighteen levels of the abyss to shake violently!
All of a sudden, countless strange Taoist ancestors sleeping at the bottom of the abyss were awakened, and a strong aura rose into the sky like a black wolf smoke. Dozens of gazes penetrated the blood cloud and locked their eyes on the uninvited guests above the sky.

But there are also a few abysses that are as silent as tombs. The lords of the abysses had long been destroyed in the eternal war, and no new Daoist ancestor has been able to rule that desolate area until now. Only broken Dao patterns are left whimpering in the cold wind.

The demons in the underworld were in turmoil, and the Taoist ancestors gathered like black crows above the eighteen abysses, with their eyes flickering under their ghost masks.

Daoist Master Ditian stroked the rosary on his chest, frowned and whispered, "Are you planning to have another bloody fight with Daoyuan? Last time at the Guidu River, they were beaten so badly that their robes were stained with blood."

These words were full of sarcasm. In his opinion, Kong Zun's action was tantamount to humiliating himself.

You should know that Kong Zun had sworn a blood oath with the Taoist Patriarch of the Netherworld before, and Jiang Yun's suppression of the Four Sacrificial Yuans of Guidu was off. If he went back on his word at this moment, the face of the dignified Taoist Patriarch would probably be trampled into the Nine Netherworld quagmire and become the laughing stock of the weird tribe for a thousand years.

Unless he can come up with a reason that convinces the Dao Ancestors, given the temperament of the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld, he will definitely take action himself, and even call on all the Dao Ancestors to suppress Kong Zun.

All the Taoist ancestors were old Taoist ancestors of the Weird Dao. They knew that although Kong Zun had a sinister nature and would take revenge for any slight, he also valued his reputation and was by no means a reckless man who did not care about his reputation.

Some Taoist ancestors speculated that perhaps the thousand-year-old chaos in the sea sacrifice disrupted the order of yin and yang, and Kong Zun came here to discuss a secret deal involving the heavens.

Fragments of ancient altars frequently appeared on the battlefield of the sea sacrifice, causing all parties to fight each other fiercely, as these were the most precious treasures of their clan.

Countless eyes were wrapped around Kong Zun like poisonous snakes, waiting for him to speak and break the silence.

Kong Zun felt the awe and suspicion of the Taoist ancestors below, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. That was the arrogance of someone who controlled the overall situation.

He suddenly let out a long roar toward the sky, the sound of which echoed in the eighteen abysses, and then he suddenly turned his head to look towards the western sky.

At some point, the Taoist Patriarch of the Underworld had been standing quietly at the highest point of the Naihe Bridge, his dark black robe fluttering in the cold wind, and the totems of thousands of dead souls embroidered on the corners of his robe seemed to come alive, wailing silently.

The terrifying pressure that could freeze time caused the air in the entire underworld to condense into black ice crystals.

The corner of Kong Zun's mouth curled up in an evil arc, and he curled his lips in a half-smile, but there were two clusters of flickering flames in his eyes, which were the excited lights of a hunter locking onto his prey.

The soul light around him surged, as if an endless dark abyss was boiling. Suddenly, a cold shout exploded over the underworld like thunder: "Underworld! Today I come here on the road of reincarnation just to ask for an explanation from you!"

This sound was accompanied by overwhelming pressure, and it seemed as if thousands of wronged souls in the eighteen abysses were wailing in unison.

"Our four origins have established an iron rule to remain in seclusion and silence. We will never interfere in the disputes of the heavens unless called upon by our ancestral land!"

Kong Zun's words were like a sharp blade with poison, and every word pierced the heart. "If someone dares to break the promise and step out of this world without permission, how will you, as the Lord of the Underworld, deal with them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the Taoist ancestors in the underworld changed drastically, and they looked at each other with shock and confusion.

For a moment, the entire underworld fell into deathly silence, with only the howling of cold wind, which seemed to tell the heaviness of this taboo topic.

You must know that violating the agreement of the four original places is tantamount to challenging the will of Tai Sui and you will have to face the wrath of other original places.

Because of one carelessness, it is easy for others to suffer from the terrifying sword light of Emperor Huang Tian that can cut through eternity!
Daozu Ran Gu's face was as pale as paper. He had personally experienced the power of Emperor Huang Tian's sword light, and knew that it took courage to take this step and become a strong man among the heavens at this time.

The face of the Taoist Patriarch of the Underworld suddenly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and black mist surged around him, as if a world-destroying storm was brewing.

He remained silent, but his mind was as clear as a mirror - Kong Zun must have come here with solid evidence, and the Taoist who violated the taboo must have come from the underworld.

Thinking of this, he sneered in his heart. This was clearly Kong Zun's revenge for his previous help to Jiang Yun!

It’s a big thing, but it’s also a small thing. As the lord of the underworld, he naturally noticed it, but he turned a blind eye.

If a powerful man from Soul River didn't want to avenge the arrow, why would he go to the underworld to fight for such a small matter?
"Kong Zun, what exactly are you up to?"

The Taoist Patriarch of the Underworld finally spoke, his voice was as cold as the Netherworld’s ice, and so calm that it was frightening.

Kong Zun was in no hurry to answer. He slowly glanced at every Taoist ancestor present. His eyes were like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, carrying a creepy chill.

Finally, his eyes locked onto Jiang Yun like an eagle, and he suddenly stretched out his skinny finger, pointed it directly at Jiang Yun, and shouted sternly: "My meaning couldn't be clearer! Daoyuan openly violated the agreement and left the four origin places without permission. This is a heinous crime! The underworld must suppress him for five sacrifices to serve as a warning to others!"

There was an unquestionable arrogance in his words, as if Jiang Yun's fate had already been determined. The entire underworld was thrown into an uproar by this order.

It seems that Kong Zun has been keeping an eye on Jiang Yun. This is clearly a long-planned revenge!

In the past, the Taoist Ancestor of the Underworld stood like a towering mountain. He used his powerful strength to reason with Kong Zun and forced the Soul River Overlord to lower his proud head.

At that time, Kong Zun was like an ancient ferocious beast trapped in a cage. Even with his extraordinary cultivation, he could only grit his teeth and sign the humiliating treaty, reluctantly giving up the opportunity to return home.

He couldn't even protect the Daozu under his command, which greatly undermined his prestige.

Now that he found an opportunity, he was like a poisonous snake that had been dormant for a long time, suddenly jumping out and pouring out all the accumulated resentment.

The punishment for the five sacrificial ancestors was like a sharp dagger. It was exactly what the Taoist Ancestor of the Underworld had proposed. At this moment, Kong Zun returned it intact, and the complacency in his tone was as difficult to suppress as a surging tide.

Recalling the past appearance of leaving in a dishevel and shame, Kong Zun's eyes flashed with cold satisfaction. He stared at Jiang Yun, as if he wanted to dig out the fear and anger from the other's face to relieve the hatred in his heart.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Yun was like an immovable ancient sacred mountain, his face calm without any ripples.

He bowed respectfully towards the Taoist Ancestor of the Netherworld, with the Taoist aura flowing around him but he did not utter a word. His calm demeanor seemed as if he had already taken control of the overall situation and had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Such calm and composed demeanor caused a gleam of doubt in the eyes of the Taoist Patriarch of the Underworld.

He began to suspect that his previous perception was wrong: Could it be that this was a carefully designed frame-up by Kong Zun?
If not, how deep must Jiang Yun's character be to be able to remain so calm and composed even when being accused to his face?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and finally, he said in a deep voice: "Daoyuan, Daozu Kongzun said that you violated the agreement of the four origin places, is this true?"

In an instant, the gazes of all the Dao Ancestors in the underworld, like materialized sharp rays, all converged on Jiang Yun, as if they wanted to see through him.

The air in the entire space seemed to be sucked out, making it hard to breathe. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Jiang Yun's reply.

Hou Ming's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and worry flooded her heart like a tide. She knew best whether Jiang Yun had run away or not.

She looked at Jiang Yun nervously, the aura around her flowing quietly, ready to transform into a dazzling stream of light and rush forward to protect him at any time.

Although the two had only known each other for tens of thousands of years, the resonance produced by the two strange flames in their bodies had already forged a close bond between them that transcended time and space, like an eternal and unbreakable bond between two intertwined branches.

Hou Ming has made up her mind. Even if Jiang Yun really breaks the taboo and faces severe punishment, she will stand up without hesitation and fight the storm with him.

Jiang Yun seemed to sense Hou Ming's determination, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He turned around slowly, a warm and confident smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly: "Don't worry, Sister Hou Ming, it's okay."

These words were like a warm spring breeze that blew away the haze in Hou Ming's heart and also added a touch of moving warmth to this tense atmosphere.

After pacifying Hou Ming, Jiang Yun's Taoist aura exploded, like an ancient demon god who had been sleeping for eternity waking up. His figure turned into a dazzling stream of light, instantly cutting through the dark sky of the underworld and standing in mid-air.

In an instant, the aura emanating from his body was like a surging black ocean, sweeping in all directions. The pressure was so great that the pupils of many Dao Ancestors present suddenly shrank, and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

You know, it has only been a few tens of thousands of years since Jiang Yun last had a fierce battle with Huasheng on the banks of the Guidu River.

In the long lifespan of the Taoist ancestors, which is often measured in eras, this is just a blink of an eye. According to common sense, it is impossible for their strength to change drastically.

However, at this moment, the aura emanating from Jiang Yun was like a prairie fire, many times stronger than before, and seemed to have the power to destroy the world.

If Jiang Yun at this moment were to fight with Guidu and Huasheng again, those two Soul River Daozu would probably have an even more miserable end, and it is possible that they would be beaten to ashes.

All the Dao Ancestors were horrified. They never expected that Jiang Yun's strength could achieve such a terrifying leap in such a short period of time.

Kong Zun was even more shocked, his eyes widened and he stared at Jiang Yun. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Alarm bells rang in his heart and he felt a strong sense of crisis.

But in a flash, a hint of crazy joy flashed in his eyes, as if a hungry wolf saw its prey, and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The void above Jiang Yun's head was shaking violently, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand. An inky black altar shadow slowly emerged.

The phantom exuded a strange and frightening aura, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in it, and it also seemed to contain a terrifying power to destroy the heavens.

In Kong Zun's eyes, the altar phantom was not a mysterious thing at all. It was clearly the ironclad evidence that Jiang Yun had violated the agreement!
Kong Zun laughed loudly towards the sky, his laughter was like the cry of a night owl, shaking the void with a buzzing sound.

He stretched out his skinny finger, pointed directly at the shadow of the altar, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Daoyuan! The evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

All Dao Ancestors knew that Jiang Yun came from the Sea of ​​Realm. As a Dao Ancestor of the new generation, it was impossible for him to possess several pieces of altar fragments.

But now, this phantom was floating above Jiang Yun's head so openly, with two or three solid places. The facts were right in front of everyone, and everyone had no choice but to believe it.

This is the ironclad evidence that Jiang Yun violated the agreement between the four origin places!

And many Taoist ancestors of the underworld fell into a deathly silence. The atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

They knew in their hearts that if Jiang Yun really broke the agreement, then Kong Zun would have a legitimate reason to punish him severely.

Many people also disapproved of Jiang Yun's behavior of going out without permission. If he attracted the attention of Emperor Huang Tian, ​​everyone would be in trouble.

Daozu Ditian stood in the void, the black mist lingering around him surging like a living thing, thousands of thoughts exploded in his mind, as if the galaxy was rolling back.

He didn't want to see the Taoist Ancestor of the Underworld being suppressed by Kong Zun, no matter for what the reason.

In a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a ray of hope in the chaotic fog - if Jiang Yun could release the suppressed Guidu Daozu, perhaps he could extinguish Kong Zun's raging fire of revenge!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ditian took a step forward like an arrow shot from a bow, his black robe rustling and bringing about a bloody storm.

His throat was rolling, and he was about to use his eloquent tongue to mediate the dispute, and even a secret smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was by no means gloating, but in fact he had already made his plans - with the vast power of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, Jiang Yun's rise was unstoppable, and he did not want to do anyone a favor.

If he could take this opportunity to help Jiang Yun overcome the disaster, he would be able to establish a good relationship with this rising star in the future. By then, he could use the power of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation for himself, and dominating the underworld would be just around the corner!

However, just as Ditian took a deep breath and was about to speak to act as a peacemaker, Jiang Yun's deep but clear voice, like a heavy hammer, hit everyone's heart hard: "Master Kong, I did go out to look for altar fragments, but I don't know what crime I committed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire underworld seemed to have been paused.

The whimpering sound of the Eighteen Abyss came to an abrupt halt. The atmosphere of the void became stagnant, and even the drifting ghost fires of the underworld lost their luster.

The Dao Ancestors looked at each other in disbelief - violating the iron laws of the four origins and breaking into the sacrificial sea to grab the fragments was a big taboo, and Jiang Yun actually dared to question him in public?
The demonic energy around Kong Zun suddenly surged, like an enraged ancient beast.

The phantom of the Soul River floating above his head surged violently, and the inky black water poured down, breaking up the space wherever it passed.

"Jiang Yun! You are confusing right and wrong!"

His roar shook the earth in the underworld, and ripples appeared in the restrictions of the eighteen levels of the abyss. Countless wronged souls turned to ashes in the sound waves.

Even the Taoist Patriarch of the Underworld, who had always been aloof from the world, frowned slightly at this moment, and the Netherworld air surrounding his body became increasingly colder.

He had hoped that Jiang Yun would rise up, gather the scattered forces of the underworld, and become his right-hand man in his efforts to reach the realm of Immortal Emperor.

But now Jiang Yun openly violated the agreement, which was tantamount to a slap in the face.

The Taoist Ancestor of the Underworld took half a step back indifferently, and the aura around him was instantly severed from that of everyone in the underworld, as if he had placed himself in another time and space, making it clear that he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and this dispute.

For a moment, Jiang Yun seemed like a lone minister being criticized by thousands of people, facing the endless doubts and anger alone in this ever-changing underworld. (End of this chapter)
