Lord of the night.

Chapter 1455 Yan Beihan is Poisoned [Three-in-One!]

The Earth God sat at the bow of the boat.

Looking at the two people on the water opposite.

The water flowed swiftly, surging like thunder.

The two people in front of them stood on the water, where white waves rolled, yet it was as if they were standing on solid, steel-like land.

The Earth God's boat remained completely still on the rushing water downstream.

"Ghostly Long Song?"

The Earthly Venerable smiled faintly: "Your eyesight is as good as ever. My disguise couldn't fool you after all."

Opposite them were Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue, a married couple.

Both of their eyes were red, with Gui Changge's eyes blazing with fury: "Yin Enchou, even if you're utterly ruthless, you can't just destroy the Underworld, can you? What good will it do you if the Underworld is gone?"

When Di Zun Yin En Chou looked at Gui Chang Ge, at his almost crazed expression, and at the red mark between Gui Chang Ge and Jiang Shu Yue's eyebrows, he suddenly realized something.

He shook his head calmly, somewhat amused, and said, "What a coincidence! It's actually the destruction of your Transformation into Mortal World?"

Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue both snorted angrily.

There was really no way around it; the coincidence was so unbelievable that both of them felt it was... indescribable.

The two concealed their true forms by sitting in meditation, and then decided to place their reincarnations in the mortal world at the secluded mountain gate.

The two had only two choices: Heaven or Hell.

Because currently, these are the two safest places in the world.

Including the city of Kakashi, there is also the danger of being attacked.

While Jiang Shuyue was familiar with the Heavenly Palace, it would be difficult for her, as a woman, to take care of a man. However, in the Underworld, it would be easy for Gui Changge, as a man, to take care of a young girl.

Those who know, know.

Therefore, he ultimately chose to be reborn in the underworld.

Then, the two of them transformed their true spirits into beings and entered the underworld, becoming two ordinary young men and women. They had no martial arts skills and lived as ordinary people in the dark environment of the underworld, far away from the grudges and conflicts of the martial arts world.

According to the principles of transformation and creation, living out one's entire life is enough.

But the couple never expected that after settling down in the underworld and finally finding each other as ordinary people...

They haven't even had a chance to get married yet.

The riots broke out without warning.

The two witnessed the massacre at their home and were desperately running into the mountains when they knew nothing more.

The final conclusion was... the underworld is gone!
The underworld, which had shaken the world for tens of thousands of years, just vanished like that? Vanished as if it were child's play?

The moment a trace of their true spirit returned to their bodies, the two of them were absolutely furious!

That's absolutely outrageous!

The original body immediately arrived, and based on Gui Changge's understanding of the underworld, the two met each other through a secret passage.

Because this is an escape route reserved by successive Earth Gods in case of emergency, and it is also the underworld's biggest backup plan, which can ensure the safety of the Earth Gods!

To preserve the capital for the underworld to rise again.

Gui Changge was once a candidate for the First Earthly Venerable, so he naturally knew this.

As a result, he immediately encountered Yin Enchou, who had escaped in disguise!
Moreover, the ease, comfort, and joy of sailing on the river with Yin Enchou, along with the happiness of having one's wish fulfilled, emanated from the very core of one's being and from the very soul...

That's something even a normal person could see: this person was in a very good mood!

With the underworld completely destroyed, the Earthly Lord actually emerged so happily...

Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue didn't need to ask or even guess: the destruction of the Underworld was definitely the design of the Earthly Venerable!
God knows how they felt.

Especially the Ghostly Long Song.

Back then, in order to compete with me for the position of Earthly Venerable, you smeared me throughout the entire human world, framed me, and relentlessly hunted me down...

As a result, after you became the Earthly Venerable, you actually destroyed the Underworld!
Destroying it... isn't necessarily a bad thing, but such a momentous event as Lao Tzu's reincarnation into the mortal world has been ruined yet again by the Earthly Venerable!
The couple was so angry they were on the verge of a breakdown: Why has this guy ruined all the good things in their lives?

There has never been a major event without exception!
At this moment, facing this culprit, the Ghost Changge couple were so angry that their hearts felt like they were about to explode, yet they still couldn't understand!
why?
"why?"

Jiang Shuyue looked at him as if he were a madman: "Yin Enchou, why did you do this?"

The Earth God sat on a small boat.

He glanced at Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue with a smile in his eyes, and smiled faintly: "If you want to know, I can tell you in detail."

"Why? It's too simple. To survive!"

The Earthly Venerable smiled faintly: "If all of this is true, and my serious injuries are not fake, do you know how I died? I was hacked to death by Yin Youdao, Gui Yinxiao... Yin Chang'en and dozens of others who rushed into the room!"

Jiang Shuyue's bright eyes froze for a moment.

The Earthly Venerable named more than a dozen people in succession.

Among them, seven or eight were the Earth Lord's absolute confidants, the most important of whom was Yin Chang'en, the Earth Lord's most beloved youngest son!

It's unbelievable.

"why?"

"For no other reason than that. They were after power, while I was just trying to survive."

Yin Enchou said calmly, "It's a very simple matter. Just like back then, when I forced you, Gui Changge, to be framed and hunted down! Everyone has their reasons for doing so!"

He looked up at Gui Changge: "What a pity. If I had known this would happen, I would never have coveted your position. I would have been very happy to assist you... right up until now. It's just a pity that there's no turning back now."

Gui Changge frowned, seemingly understanding yet not quite: "I would like to hear the details."

"You don't need to know the specifics. You just need to know that, starting today, the Underworld is gone. This organization has completely disappeared from the world."

The Earthly Venerable laughed fiercely and said in a low voice, "Back then, it was in this very turbulent river that I watched so many people being killed by Duan Xiyang with a single shot. That shot had already reached my throat, but Duan Xiyang had already gone downstream."

“He wants to walk the path of invincibility, and that path can only go forward without turning back. Therefore, I spared my life.”

"From that day on, I knew I was given a second chance at life, so I cherished it even more!"

The Earthly Venerable said, "Even if it costs me everything, even if it costs all the lives in the world, I must be able to survive!"

"Narrow-minded! Vicious! Utterly devoid of conscience! Inhuman!"

Jiang Shuyue cursed through gritted teeth, "Are you just going to sacrifice your own family members and descendants like this?"

The Earthly Venerable snorted coldly and said, "Your descendants in the Azure Nether Palace, are you just going to keep taking care of them all this time?"

Jiang Shuyue was speechless.

It must be admitted that ever since her sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons... Jiang Shuyue's perception of the blood ties with her descendants has become increasingly weak.

But when those descendants fight each other for power and profit, this indifference turns into resentment and disgust.

She couldn't bear to watch her children and grandchildren fight each other to the death, so she had to stop and suppress them every time. But undeniably, after each act of stopping and suppressing them, the desolation, helplessness, and disgust only intensified.

Because they clearly saw that their descendants would have no affection for them.

For future generations, they are nothing more than a signboard, a talisman, and nothing more.

When it comes to family affection... there really isn't much!
This is also why they resolutely left: the foundation, glory, wealth, heritage, classics, and legacy... are all yours.

This is our final gift to you as your ancestors.

But from then on, we were reborn into the mortal world and severed ties with the sect.

He has regained his freedom.

But at this moment, faced with Yin Enchou's counter-question, he had no words to refute it.

Although they knew that their situation was different from Yin Enchou's, in the end they were just as heartless—they all left!

Yin Enchou coldly said, "We're all the same. Back then, you wanted immortality, and I wanted power and status; now, you want to escape the mortal world, and I want immortality."

Gui Changge coldly said, "What you're doing should be called living a life of ignominy."

"the same."

Yin Enchou said indifferently, "Whether you live a long and protracted life or live a life of ignominy, it's all about living; living is always better than dying."

Gui Changge said calmly, "You want to escape the Underworld because of the karma it carries, right? But why do you have to be so ruthless?"

"How can you bear to sacrifice the entire underworld?! That's billions of lives at stake!"

The ghost sang a song of deep sorrow.

But the Earthly Venerable clearly noticed something else: "Cause and effect? ​​The cause and effect embodied in the words 'underworld'? Ghost Changge! How do you know about this? What does this mean?"

Gui Changge's eyes widened immediately: "You don't know?"

The Earthly Venerable's eyes suddenly turned dangerous, like those of a wounded beast, ferocious and hysterical: "You know? What makes you think you know?"

Gui Changge looked visibly incredulous, staring blankly at Yin Enchou, when suddenly she sensed a strange feeling: "All these years, you still don't know?"

"When did you find out?" Yin Enchou roared like a wolf.

"Then...when did you find out? What did you do? Wasn't it because of this?"

Gui Changge said firmly, "You speak first!"

Yin Enchou's eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot veins: "So the old bastard still had a trick up his sleeve before he died! Good, good, good! I was somewhat saddened by the destruction of the Underworld, but now it seems, hahaha... He deserved it! He deserved it so damn well! It's so gratifying! The old bastard's entire family and descendants all died in there too, truly hahahaha..."

He burst into wild, unrestrained laughter.

The spiritual energy surged wildly, and the entire river was as if it had been bombarded by countless bombs. White waves rose into the sky along the hundred-mile river channel!
"There's nothing I shouldn't say about what I did."

The Earthly Venerable said fiercely, "You want to hear it? I'll tell you."

His gaze and tone were sinister as he said, "The words 'underworld' are intertwined with the cycle of reincarnation in the divine realm. Now that the divine war is imminent, after the great battle, the true Heavenly Palace and Underworld belonging to the divine realm will inevitably be re-established. The current Underworld is utterly disregarding divine authority and usurping divine positions! It will surely suffer a backlash when the time comes!"

"So as soon as I found out, I made arrangements."

"Why do you think the Grand Elder suddenly turned against me? It was because I forced him to do this one thing after another over a period of time! I had to force him to have a grudge against me and rebel against me!"

"You think I didn't know the Underworld's fortune furnace was almost drained? Not only did I know, but I was at the Guardian Headquarters at the time, and I even sent a wisp of Earthly Venerable fortune deep into the heart of the city, just so that more of it would be taken away!!"

"You think I know nothing? That I'm just waiting to die?"

"You think the people of the underworld are so easily bewitched? You think the Grand Elder's poisoning schemes, which are done so secretly and without anyone noticing, are so powerful? Haha, how laughable! Let me tell you, his arrangements are not enough! They're far from ruthless enough!"

"You know the Soul-Slaying Spring in the Underworld, right? You know the Nine Nether Hell Lotus in the Underworld, right?"

"You know about the River of Oblivion in the Underworld, right?"

"I've already placed the Ten Thousand Soul Curse on all of them here!"

"Everyone who eats and drinks in the underworld will be affected! Once Yin Youdao starts to rebel and detonates his so-called plan, my plan will, on top of his plan, drive everyone into even greater chaos!"

"Everyone will lose their minds, and in doing so, their very essence will be damaged! Once detonated, everyone will slowly die!"

"No matter what kind of Saintly Monarch or Saintly Venerable he is, even if he is at the peak of the Ninth Rank, he will die! As long as he hasn't taken even half a step into the Divine Path, not one of them will survive!"

Yin Enchou said fiercely, "We'll all die! We'll all die! Understand?!"

Gui Changge's face turned deathly pale, and his whole body trembled as he listened to these outrageous remarks.

If Yin Youdao, Gui Yinxiao, or even Bing Tianxue and the Plague Demon were here, they would probably immediately resolve their doubts upon hearing the Earthly Venerable's words.

Even with their most optimistic predictions, the underworld couldn't possibly be in such a miserable state now.

In any case, there will always be people alive, and there will definitely be more than enough.

There's no way they would have all died so easily, considering there were quite a few powerful Saints among them!
The mighty underworld was destroyed in such a ridiculous way, with so many experts failing to even make a ripple.

This gives a glimpse into the strangeness of the matter.

But no one expected that it was actually the current Earthly Lord who had sent everyone to the real underworld before they even took any action!

What's missing is the moment when the Sovereign Church ignites this explosion!
Yin Enchou's ruthlessness is enough to shock anyone in the world and leave them burning inside!

"Due to the Curse of Ten Thousand Souls, after everyone dies, the spiritual energy and fortune return to the Earth's core!"

Yin Enchou sneered, "I destroyed the underworld and restored the spiritual energy and fortune, helping the earth to be reborn. Even if the gods descend, I will still have made a contribution!"

"This is the merit I want! Otherwise, even if I escape, what if the gods still pursue my former status as a local deity? Even if I surrender, I'll still need a pledge of allegiance!"

"This is my pledge of allegiance!"

"Of course I have to think about myself! Why wouldn't I think about myself?"

"All these years, I've been a Earthly Venerable for so many years, and you, Ghost Changge, know the secret of karma in the underworld, but I, the Earthly Venerable, don't? What am I? A discarded pawn? A scapegoat? Am I your scapegoat, Ghost Changge?! Or did I go to great lengths and use every trick in the book to seize it for myself?!"

"What the hell! What kind of bastards are you!? Do you even consider me a human being!?"

Yin Enchou roared furiously, "Why did that old bastard Gui Qiankun tell you but not me? Why!?"

"Now it's all good, hahaha, Gui Qiankun's family, and your relatives and friends, the people you care about, the people who have helped you, Gui Changge, over the years, both openly and secretly, along with their families, children, descendants, disciples and grandchildren, not one of them is left alive! Hahahaha..."

Yin Enchou laughed heartily, bending over with ecstasy: "Awesome! I'm dying of awe! So awesome! Hahaha..."

Gui Changge's lips trembled slightly as he gritted his teeth in resentment and said, "I didn't know at first, but later you went too far and forced me to leave. On my last night, I went to bid farewell to my master, and only then did my master tell me... perhaps it's not a bad thing, maybe there's karma involved."

"Even our master isn't sure if there will be such a karmic consequence!"

"You were just trying to comfort me back then! What scapegoat? What shield? What grudge! If you hadn't gone too far back then, how could you have become this scapegoat and shield? Now, more than ten thousand years later, you still think you were the one who was murdered? What kind of bastard's thinking is that?! If you hadn't been ambitious and blinded by power, would you be where you are today?! Isn't all of this your own doing?!"

"fart!"

Yin Enchou retorted sharply, "Power, status, wealth, and beautiful women—who doesn't want them?! Am I the only one? In this world, among all people, who isn't scheming for these things? From ordinary people to emperors, who is truly clean?!"

"Are you spouting this nonsense to cover up your selfishness?!"

Yin Enchou's voice sounded like a wolf's howl.

Gui Changge coldly said, "A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way; power and status are obtained through upright and honorable means! Yin Enchou, you've gone astray!"

"What is the crooked path? What is the right path? Are universal values ​​and morality always correct? Why can't I use my own means to obtain what I want?! The world is bustling and noisy; everyone talks about the right path, but everyone wants to take shortcuts in their entire life!"

"Is taking shortcuts wrong!?"

With eyes as sharp as a wolf's, filled with malice, he stared at Gui Changge and said, "Enough nonsense! I've finished speaking. Now it's your turn! As for educating me, you're not qualified! Please shut up!"

"How much do you know about the karmic connections between the names of the underworld and the underworld?"

The Earthly Venerable said, "Senior Brother Ghost, you're not still keeping this a secret, are you?"

Gui Changge slowly drew his sword and said calmly, "Back then, you forced me to have nowhere to go. My master was seriously injured and on the verge of death. I had no choice but to give up everything and leave the Underworld. All I know is one sentence my master said before I left."

"The original words were: When the founder of Wang Chuan created the martial arts, he named it after the River of Oblivion. He continued to improve it throughout his life. All the moves and techniques were named after names in the underworld because the founder's name was Wang Chuan, which is a homophone of the River of Oblivion."

"That's why he did it this way; the Yellow Springs Sword, the Longing for Home Blade, the Helpless Divine Skill, the Three Lives Heart Method, the Ten Kings of Hell Sword, the Earth Treasury Divine Skill... all were named by our ancestor."

"The patriarch took in disciples, and then the underworld was gradually established. The establishment of the underworld was actually derived from the cultivation techniques created by the patriarch. The two words 'underworld' were used to encompass all cultivation techniques... and thus the underworld came into being."

"After the founder learned of the establishment of the Underworld, he said to the second founder, Gui Linlin, who was still a small sect at the time: 'I created these cultivation techniques on a whim, using these names. I never expected that it would lead to the establishment of the Underworld. However, cultivation techniques are just human names, while the Underworld is named by the gods. Using these names will inevitably bring some karmic consequences in the future. You must remember this.'"

"If any signs appear in the future, the cultivation technique can be passed down, but the underworld cannot exist."

"But in the end, the patriarch also said that it was all just his speculation, without any evidence. However, this statement has been passed down from generation to generation to the position of Earthly Venerable." Gui Changge said with a desolate expression, "As for why you don't know, that's your business. But I think that even if my master looks down on your wickedness, he wouldn't hide such a thing from you."

"I see."

The Earthly Venerable was momentarily lost and bewildered.

He recalled that when he took office as the Earthly Venerable, his master, on his deathbed, gave him a secret book of Earthly Venerable teachings and told him to study it carefully.

He then passed away.

At the time, I was full of ambition. I opened the secret book, but found it full of strange and unusual things, all kinds of rules, and all sorts of vague legends and speculations. I wasn't interested at all, so I just put it in my spatial ring and put it aside.

Thinking of this, the Earthly Venerable's expression shifted between light and dark.

He rummaged through the ring and pulled out a small, black booklet that seemed to be perpetually shrouded in mist.

I opened it and took a look.

Sure enough, the words that Gui Changge spoke were clearly recorded in this booklet!

Looking at this booklet, Yin Enchou felt a mix of emotions, his heart in turmoil.

Yes, the master passed on the inheritance to me without holding anything back. It's just that I... never valued it.

He asked himself: If he had really studied it carefully before, would he really have developed a sense of awe and fear towards 'cause and effect in the underworld'?
I'm afraid not necessarily.

They wouldn't even care about it.

If it weren't for Dongfang San San's explanation and analysis of various matters, I still wouldn't have believed it.

Even long after Dongfang San San finished speaking, he was still somewhat skeptical. It wasn't until after the Three Realms were established that he finally believed it completely!
This is a process!
Human cognition requires this process.

The Earthly Venerable sighed deeply.

Looking at the swords in the hands of Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue opposite them.

All that has been said has been said.

All doubts between them have been resolved.

Now is the time to take action.

Yin Enchou suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears and snot streamed down his face. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, his laughter sounding like howling, incredibly harsh and unpleasant.

"why are you laughing?"

Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha...I'm laughing...How damn ironic!"

The Earthly Venerable laughed wildly, "Back then, I went to great lengths to drive away Gui Changge! And Jiang Shuhan went to great lengths to drive away Jiang Shuyue! And then, both of them actually went to great lengths to snatch a scapegoat position to take the fall!"

"All sorts of conspiracies and schemes, abandoning all moral principles, to engage in all sorts of despicable and shameless calculations, and now it seems, they were actually scheming against themselves! Isn't that laughable? Isn't that ironic?"

The Earthly Venerable laughed wildly: "We went through countless hardships, designed this over hundreds and thousands of years, and tens of millions of people fought desperately and sacrificed their lives for these two things. In the end, it was for your benefit that you two were able to go out and live a carefree, happy life without any worries or dangers!"

"All the coercion, all the framing, all the pursuit, all the scheming... everything, whether good or bad, is for your benefit!"

"And all our efforts, all our struggles, were actually a recipe for disaster! A recipe for embarrassment!"

Are you happy or not!?

The Earthly Venerable let out an envious yet bitter laugh: "You two are the true protagonists of destiny! You're so damn lucky! So damn lucky! How can people be so lucky?!"

Upon hearing this, Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue realized they were both confused.

It seems... that's really the case?

Having escaped the vortex of danger, avoided the backlash of fame and fortune, found a divine partner, mastered unparalleled martial arts, and devoted themselves to each other for life...

Upon closer examination, all of this was forced out by the Earthly Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor through various conspiracies, tricks, and vicious methods!

If you're unhappy, then I'll do everything in my power, even resorting to the most heinous and unscrupulous means, to make you both happy?

"Yin Enchou, I must say, without your coercion, we wouldn't be where we are today. But... I will still kill you today."

The blade of Gui Changge's longsword was shrouded in black mist, slowly entwining with layers of black patterns.

Sword energy and ghostly howls soared into the sky.

"Hundreds of millions of wronged souls in the underworld are waiting for you! They are all watching me kill you!"

Gui Changge floated up from the river like a ghost, weightless as he drifted in the mist: "Yin Enchou! Die!"

On one side, Jiang Shuyue's longsword shone with a righteous and holy light.

"Have you said everything?"

"It's over!"

"Then it's time to settle the matter of cause and effect!"

Jiang Shuyue let out a fierce shout, and her sword energy suddenly resounded like thunder in the sky: "Yin Enchou! Prepare to die!"

The Earthly Venerable chuckled sinisterly, "With the two of you working together, I'm naturally no match for you, but if you want to kill me... hehehehe..."

There was a bang.

The three forces collided and exploded in mid-air.

The Baihe River stretches for a thousand miles, its waters rushing straight up to the sky, white waves surging into the heavens!

A great battle immediately ensued.

……

Within the underworld.

Yan Beihan was looking at the documents when he suddenly noticed that Zhou Meier's face was a little pale. He was taken aback and asked, "Meier, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Zhou Meier circulated her spiritual energy and immediately came to her senses: "I'm probably feeling drowsy."

Yan Beihan was taken aback. Zhou Meier was now close to the Venerable level of cultivation, so why was she sleepy?
However, upon carefully circulating his spiritual energy, he found nothing.

She felt something was wrong, so she activated the Yaochi Treasure Manual's divine skill to examine her entire body. To her astonishment, she discovered that a thin, almost imperceptible mist-like substance had appeared in her spiritual consciousness at some point.

Yan Beihan was immediately shocked!
When did I fall for their trick?
There are array masters, poison masters, and martial arts masters here, and all sorts of underhanded techniques should be blocked.

How could I still get infected?

Besides, the underworld is now completely wiped out, so who did it?
"Aunt Bing! Summon the plague!"

Yan Beihan immediately gave the order: "Everyone, stop working and gather around me, Bi Yunyan!"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

"Set up the formation immediately! It's an extremely urgent matter!"

Bi Yunyan was startled and hurriedly began to set up an array.

Then Bing Tianxue arrived in a hurry.

"what happened?"

"How's the packing going?"

"Most of the work has been completed, and the most important items have been put away. We are currently finishing up in various cities of the underworld."

"Stop the cleanup immediately! Pack your things and leave right away. We'll leave the rest of this to the sect later and send someone else."

"Okay!...But why is that?"

"poisoned!"

Yan Beihan's face was grim: "We've all been poisoned!"

"Poisoning!?"

The Plague Demon's eyes widened instantly, and he jumped high: "How could I be poisoned? I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Now activate the Mind-Calming Technique, and then use your highest level of cultivation to examine your spiritual platform and divine sense!"

Yan Beihan glared at him without any politeness.

Not only the Plague Demon, but also Bing Tianxue and others immediately began to conduct self-examinations.

After the investigation, everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "...When were you poisoned?"

"Get out of here immediately, no matter what!"

Yan Beihan ordered: "As for what kind of poison this is, it's a plague."

"exist."

"Check carefully and make sure you understand everything before you leave. This concerns everyone's lives, so you need to be mindful of this. Don't be hasty, and be meticulous!"

"Yes, Miss, rest assured. I will do my best!"

The Plague Demon solemnly agreed.

The Plague Demon couldn't help but care, after all, his own life was also among the lives of "all people," and if others died, he wouldn't survive either.

Moreover, the Plague Demon is now blushing red, ashamed to the point of wanting to disappear.

That's so shameless!

I came here to poison people! But I didn't even know when I was poisoned.

I really lost face in front of so many senior figures and leaders.

He could already imagine the ridicule he would face when he returned to the Dharma Protectorate—if he could still make it back alive.

Yan Beihan made a decisive move, gathering everyone together, leaving only the Plague Demon and two Guardian Hall demons behind, while the others immediately evacuated the Underworld.

Although Bing Tianxue was poisoned, she turned back halfway through the journey.

He slapped the Three Lives Stone out of the ground, put it in his ring, and took it with him.

Just as they went out and were heading forward to find a suitable place to set up camp, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from afar.

The fighters were constantly moving, but the intense roar never stopped.

The mountains and valleys beneath our feet trembled, and occasionally a white wave could be seen being blasted into the sky from the distance.

Large rocks on the mountains were constantly being shaken loose and rolled down from the mountaintops, creating massive landslides one after another.

"hidden!"

Bing Tianxue immediately realized: "With this momentum, every person involved in the battle is no weaker than me, and may even be stronger... Everyone be careful, take cover. Yunyan."

"exist!"

"Deploy troops immediately, just in case!"

"it is good!"

Bi Yunyan immediately took a look and started working, with Feng Xue assisting her.

After experiencing the gloom and terror of the underworld, everything outside is now beautiful and lush.

As Bi Yunyan's array stones and small flags flew out continuously, a defensive and concealed formation quickly took shape.

"Xiao Han, wait here for a moment, I'll go see who's fighting."

The road is covered in ice and snow.

Yan Beihan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you. There are some things I need to discuss with Aunt Bing. This time, everyone was poisoned silently, which is really... strange."

Bing Tianxue was not only speechless but also ashamed about this issue.

The fact that this seasoned veteran and ruthless figure was poisoned without anyone noticing is enough to become a long-standing joke in the martial arts world!

We just set off.

Then they heard a violent collision of spiritual energy, creating an explosion.

Like densely packed popping beans.

Three beams of sword light shot into the sky, tearing the white clouds that drifted over there into dust.

One jet-black sword light was clearly trying to escape, while the other two were in pursuit.

Bing Tianxue was fast enough, but by the time she and Yan Beihan arrived not far from the battlefield, the three people fighting had already vanished without a trace.

"gone!"

Bing Tianxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with these three enemies, Bing Tianxue had absolutely no confidence. She felt that she could not even protect herself, let alone defeat them.

Moreover, he was also with Yan Beihan. If something happened to Yan Beihan, he would really have no face to live.

The fact that the three people chased and fought away was exactly what Bing Tianxue wanted.

Following Yan Beihan's trail of battle marks, they finally stopped before a mountain wall. Looking at the shallow, crisscrossing sword marks on it, Bing Tianxue's expression turned grave.

"These three have all reached a level of mastery where they can control their power at will, without any loss of energy. They were able to perfectly control it during the previous battle. This must have been the final, desperate moment to decide the outcome, which is why they left such shallow marks on this mountainside..."

Yan Beihan nodded. Having reached a high level of cultivation, he naturally understood that some marks are not necessarily more powerful the deeper they are, but rather the ability to leave no trace of oneself while fighting desperately... That is the mark of a true master!
"Azure Sky Sword Qi! Cloud Sky Sword Qi!"

Bing Tianxue stared wide-eyed at Yan Beihan.

"Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue! If they were alone, they could be people from the Heavenly Palace or the Azure Netherworld Palace, but for two of them to appear together and be controlled so perfectly, it must be Gui Changge and Jiang Shuyue without a doubt!"

Bing Tianxue's lips twitched: "Weren't those two supposed to have passed away peacefully?"

Yan Beihan pondered, "When we attacked Qingming Palace, they said they had passed away peacefully, and I just assumed they really had. But I also knew very well that these two people were not dead. It seems that their so-called passing away was just a means of escaping."

Why did you escape?

"This question is actually easy to understand. Why did my grandfather and the others train Feng Yun and us so-called young generation? In fact, many people, including my grandfather and the others, were... somewhat tired of it."

I'm tired of it.

These three words.

This left Bing Tianxue in a somewhat bewildered state of mind.

Yan Beihan sighed, took out his communication jade, communicated with the Five Spirit Gu, and sent a message: "Night Demon, I was poisoned this time when I came to the Underworld."

When Yan Beihan uttered those words, he felt a surge of grievance welling up inside him.

The shrewd strategist and ruler of the world, Yan Beihan, at this moment, as she confided her grievances to Fang Che, suddenly felt like a weak little girl being bullied and complaining.

Feeling wronged and helpless.

I even felt an urge to cry, which arose spontaneously.
