Honghuang: Yu Ding forgot to accept a disciple

Chapter 411: Death of Xuanming
"Oh? What kind of treasure is it that makes you lose your composure like this?"

Hou Tu was puzzled and took the jade plate from Xuan Ming's hand to find out what was going on.

Just as her fingertips were approaching, Xuan Ming's body suddenly began to shake violently.

Xuan Ming struggled to regain control of his body inch by inch: "Quick~Run!"

Her face was ferocious, with two expressions appearing on it, half calm, half ferocious.

Hou Tu's mind suddenly became alarmed, and her finger that was about to touch the jade plate suddenly paused, and then withdrew as if it were a needle prick.

The jade disc in the air suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Hou Tu.

Hou Tu saw the jade disc clearly and instantly became furious: "Hongjun!"

As Hou Tu became angry, a strong wind seemed to rise around her, and her huge eyes widened, emitting a strong light like the sun and the moon hanging in the sky.

Instead of retreating, she advanced, clasped her hands together, and smashed towards the Jade Disc of Creation.

As Hou Tu moved, all the mountains and rivers in the ancient world shook, responding to each other and lending strength to Hou Tu.

The divine power of Mother Earth manifested itself, and the divine forces collided, causing the Jade Disc of Creation to fly backwards and hit Xuanming directly.

Seeing this, Hou Tu panicked: "Xuan Ming, run away!"

"Escape? Where to escape!"

An illusory figure appeared on the Jade Disc of Creation, and it was exactly the appearance of Hongjun.

Xuanming's soul had been subdued by him and had no power to resist at this moment, falling into his hands in an instant.

He raised Xuanming, and the Jade Disc of Creation burst into light, refining Xuanming in an instant, condensing a body of flesh and blood for him.

After refining Xuanming, Hongjun did not feel that he had gained any power over the underworld.

He looked puzzled: "What's going on? Where is my authority in the underworld?"

Hou Tu sneered and said, "When we found out that Yang Jian brought the Six Soul Banner here, we were already on guard against you, Daozu. Xuanming has already handed the power of the underworld to me. If you want it, come and get it from me!"

"You asked for this!" Hongjun laughed grimly. "I originally intended to spare your life. After all, the Great Way of Samsara is to lead all living beings to reincarnation. I originally intended to hand over this troublesome matter to you. Now it seems that you must die. When I refine you, it will be a good opportunity for you and your sisters to keep you company."

"You are not Hongjun if you can use such means!"

Hou Tu looked shocked, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"Oh? Then who is this seat?"

Hongjun looked at Houtu with interest.

Hou Tu was shocked. A name emerged in her mind, but she felt it was impossible. She had dealt with that person before. Although the two of them did not have a good relationship, they were not enemies either. Moreover, that person had disappeared without a trace after the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe.

She looked at the monstrous demonic energy lingering around Hongjun, and the brutal method he used to refine Xuanming in an instant.

Even though she didn't believe it in her heart, she had to admit that the evil spirit was indeed the same as that person's.

~~~~~
Yang Jian led the immortals to fight against millions of ghosts in Fengdu.

Suddenly, bursts of muffled thunder were heard.

The immortals looked up and found that the noise did not come from the underworld, but from the ancient times.

The interface between Fengdu and Nanzhanbuzhou has been expanded ten thousand times by Yang Jian, and the movements in the prehistoric world can be transmitted in without any hindrance.

After careful consideration, it was discovered that this was not the sound of thunder, but the sound of the mountains shaking.

"The mountains echoed, it was Hou Tu who took action."

The Golden Spirit Mother looked serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in the underworld collapsed, blood oozed out of the cracks, and flowers of the other shore blossomed from the blood. A layer of green light lingered above the underworld and rushed towards the Yellow Spring in the center of Fengdu.

Millions of ghosts burst into tears in unison.

All these strange phenomena caused the pupils of the Golden Spirit Mother to tremble violently: "The blue sky and the yellow spring, the underworld is bleeding, the flowers on the other shore are blooming, Xuanming is dead!" "Could it be that Hongjun is taking action?"

Yang Jian asked.

"Xuan Ming had previously helped to strengthen the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, how could it fall so quickly!"

Yunxiao's eyes were full of disbelief.

Yang Jian realized that only Hongjun could explain this unusual situation, so he stopped hesitating and activated the Six Soul Banner to notify Tongtian Sect Master.

Suddenly, a loud noise burst out from Fengdu below, and a crack split Fengdu into two. From the crack, bursts of reincarnation energy were revealed.

A huge figure carrying the six paths of reincarnation flew out from the crack, followed closely by a demon-like figure, emitting tremendous demonic power.

It was Hou Tu and Hong Jun.

"Hongjun has been possessed by a demon. Yang Jian, quickly activate the Six Soul Banner!"

Hou Tu said quickly.

"This is actually Daozu Hongjun!"

The immortals of Jiejiao cried out in surprise.

Their impression of Hongjun still remains on the immortal-looking appearance they saw when he signed the List of Conferred Gods.

At this time, Hongjun was surrounded by tremendous demonic power, as if Luohou was reborn, and there was no trace of his former charm.

"The demonic energy had long since dissipated with the death of Demon Ancestor Luohou, but now it has revived and appeared in Dao Ancestor. Could it be that the battle between Dao Ancestor and Luohou has never ended?"

Zhao Gongming said in surprise.

Yang Jian saw the tremendous demonic power emanating from Hongjun's figure, and the Jade Disc of Creation was shining brightly beside him.

Recalling the last conversation between Hongjun and Fairy Caixia in the memory of Fairy Caixia transmitted by the magic eye when he and Queen Mother of the West returned from the torrent of time and space.

Hongjun asked Fairy Caixia: "You are Luohou, then who am I?"

Originally, Yang Jian thought Hongjun's words were incomprehensible. He once guessed that Hongjun was Luohou, but later he felt that this guess was too outrageous, so he gave up the idea.

Seeing Hongjun's demonic look at this moment, he instantly thought of many things.

The reason why he was able to move around in the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe was because of a lotus seed given by Hongjun. When the lotus seed and Yang Jian fell into the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe together, it mutated and grew into a world-destroying black lotus. Yang Jian then used this as an alias to change his name to Luohou and acted as Luohou.

When he went to Mount Sumeru to look for the real Rahu, he only got the news that Rahu was missing.

Only then did Yang Jian understand that what happened before was done intentionally by Hongjun, in order to let him and Fairy Caixia replace Luohou's identity and take the calamity for him. Then he would take the opportunity to fight for the Tao, destroy the prehistoric world and achieve Taoism.

He no longer hesitated, picked up the List of Gods, selected 200 million souls, and injected them into the Six Soul Banner.

As the living souls were injected, the ribbons on the Six Soul Banner with the names of the Six Saints inscribed on them emitted golden light.

Seeing this, Hongjun looked at Yang Jian with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Wait a minute, I don't want this reincarnation road of the underworld and Houtu."

After saying this, he escaped from the underworld with the Jade Disc of Creation and headed towards the prehistoric world.

He originally wanted to rely on Xuanming to devour Xuanming and Houtu silently, but Xuanming eventually ruined his plan, allowing Houtu to escape and causing his demonic aura to be exposed.

The Six Soul Banner in Yang Jian's hand made him extremely fearful.

No, what he was afraid of was not the Six Soul Banner, but Tongtian, Nuwa, Yuqing behind the Six Soul Banner, and Taiqing who was hiding somewhere unknown.

Compared to everyone turning the table over right now, Hongjun decided to take it slow. He had already accomplished most of his goal of uniting the Heavenly Dao with the help of Yang Jian's Conferred God. As long as he swallowed up the Underworld and obtained Hou Tu's reincarnation path, the matter of uniting the Dao would be accomplished immediately. This was an opportunity he had been planning for countless years. If he went through with it now, he would have to start all over again, which would be a loss.

If the other saints joined forces to fight him, he would not be sure of winning.

It would be better to stop here and deal with the rest of the things slowly. He is very confident about the things that are in accordance with Heaven's Way. Even if he loses the underworld and the reincarnation path, it will only take some more time to please Heaven. There is no need to rush.
