On the Avenue.

Chapter 418 Wuwu
Lingzhou City.

At this time, Lingzhou City seemed to have not been affected by the merger of the Yin and Yang worlds. The people continued to live and work in peace and contentment. Peddlers, hawkers, and brothels were still doing business, no different from usual.

Above Lingzhou, six great void realms are arranged in sequence. In the realms, the sun is high in the sky. Each void realm has two suns and one moon.

The sun and moon in the Void Realm were transformed by the cultivators in the Return to Void Realm to imitate the three eyes of the True God from outer space. Although they are not as good as the other, they are enough for Lingzhou City to use for lighting and transferring heat.

"The people of Lingzhou City don't know yet that crops can't be grown under this kind of sun."

Xu She looked at the bustling crowd on the street and whispered, "Sooner or later, they will find out about this and fall into panic."

A deep voice came from behind him: "The people can be made to follow the will of the people, but they cannot be made to know the will of the people. If these common people are well fed and clothed, they will not make trouble. This way, we can buy time for our Xu family to unify the Xu family's power in the underworld."

Xu She looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Yinglong, the current head of the Xu family.

Xu Yinglong looks like a middle-aged man, but he is actually about seventy years old. When a cultivator reaches this age, even those at the Mahayana realm begin to decline, and their energy and blood are not as strong as before.

Xu Yinglong also began to plan for his successor early on, selecting outstanding people from among the Xu family's children. Xu She was not from the clan leader's lineage, but was an outer disciple. He had lived in poverty since childhood, but because he obtained a first-grade divine fetus, he was almost dug out by the powerful children of the same clan.

This matter was brought to Xu Yinglong, who promoted Xu She and first taught him the outer sect's highest secret "Shijingtang Collection" and asked him to practice and examine his aptitude and understanding. He found that he was a genius in practice, so he taught him the "Shaohu Guangji" of the sect master's lineage and asked him to practice. Not long ago, he sent him to the upper realm to practice, and regarded him as the next Xu family master.

Xu Yinglong came to Xu She, his face gentle, and said: "The merging of the Yin and Yang worlds may seem like a natural disaster, but it is an unexpectedly good thing for my Xu family. Do you know why?"

Xu She bowed and said, "The Xu family has been planning in the underworld for more than 6,000 years. After the masters of the Xu family died, their souls fell into the underworld, where they occupied territories and gathered incense to become ghosts and gods. Therefore, even if the Yin and Yang worlds merged and Lingzhou Province expanded more than ten times, the ghosts and gods of my Xu family in various places can ensure that my Xu family's ruling power will not be reduced at all."

Xu Yinglong smiled and nodded approvingly.

Xu She went a step further and said, "Moreover, my Xu family has a legacy in the underworld, including the Hades Palace and the Underworld. There are many predecessors of my Xu family among the underworld officials, underworld commanders, judges, and even the King of Hell. Therefore, the merger of the two realms is not a bad thing for my Xu family, but a great thing."

Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "You can see this, which is already remarkable. But the more crucial point is that the common people are at a loss in the face of a catastrophe, and will pray to the gods, which will make my Xu family more popular in the underworld and strengthen the strength of all kinds of ghosts and gods. My Xu family will not be hurt, but will be greatly strengthened, so this is a good thing."

Xu She looked at the bustling crowd outside and sighed, "It just makes the people suffer."

Xu Yinglong also sighed and said, "Let them suffer for a while, there will be better days in the future."

Behind them, the Xu Mansion was decorated with lights and looked very festive. Xu Yinglong sent people to various places to contact the ghosts and gods of the Xu family. He planned to hold meetings in Lingzhou, so he had to decorate the Xu family's house to make it look more festive.

At this time, a ghost came hurriedly in a small boat, came to Xu Yinglong, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xu Yinglong frowned slightly: "Xia family's evil commander came to my Lingzhou to hunt down Chen Shi? Xia Xiude actually committed the crime in my Lingzhou without informing me. How bold!"

Xu She's heart was slightly moved, and he asked hurriedly: "Chen Shi came to Lingzhou?"

Xu Yinglong nodded: "I got the news that he killed the Xia family's ghost god Fengyang Jun and Xia Tianjie, so Yin Shuai Xia Xiu De came to hunt him down. But breaking into my Lingzhou Province to kill people is a sign of disregard for my Xu family!"

The thirteen families are of the same blood, but they also have many conflicts.

For example, the position of the ghost commander and the vacant judge position were often disputed. There were also disputes over the size of the territories of ghosts and gods in various places and the number of ghost soldiers.

If Yang Bi had not intervened in these years, the Thirteen Families would have been fighting to the death in the underworld for interests.

The Xu family regarded Lingzhou as their own piece of land. The evil commander Xia Xiu De went to Lingzhou to kill people, which violated the Xu family's taboo. It is no wonder that Xu Yinglong was furious.

Xu She was shocked: "Xia Tianjie was killed by Chen Shi?"

Xia Tianjie ascended to the upper realm with him and was the candidate for the next clan leader of the Xia family. At that time, they challenged Chen Shi together but were defeated by Chen Shi under the name of Li Tianqing. Xia admired Chen Shi very much, but he did not expect to die at the hands of Chen Shi.

At this moment, another small boat came over. The ghost on the boat rushed to Xu Yinglong, whispered a few words to him, and then left.

Xu Yinglong's body was shaken, and he said in a lost voice: "Is Yin Marshal Xia Xiude dead?"

He looked incredulous and was dazed for a moment.

After Xu She asked him several questions, he finally came to his senses and said, "Most of Xia Xiu De's fifty-four Yin messengers were beaten to death by a dog and a hanged ghost. Yin Marshal Xia Xiu De died at the hands of a woman."

His expression was uncertain, and he said, "This happened in Shenmu County. Forty-nine demonic changes occurred in Shenmu County. The demonic domain enveloped a temple, and a large number of heavenly listeners appeared. It should be the intervention of Despair Slope!"

He paced back and forth, feeling somewhat uneasy, and whispered, "What is Despair Slope doing heading to Shenmu County at this time?"

The relationship between Despair Hill and the Thirteen Families is extremely delicate.

Despair Hill seems to be independent of the world, and does not interfere with anything in the world, but only sends out the Heavenly Listeners to monitor and eavesdrop. The Thirteen Families also seem to be gentle and humble, and do not care about the monitoring of the Heavenly Listeners, and are also very respectful to the visitors from Despair Hill.

However, Despair Hill is by no means aloof, otherwise they would not monitor the world. They monitor the Thirteen Families the most, in order to find the hidden power of the Thirteen Families. They have already sensed the existence of the upper world, but they don't know where it is hidden.

The Thirteen Families are also accumulating strength, waiting for a counterattack and destroying Hill of Despair.

But at present, the strength of Despair Hill is far stronger than the Thirteen Families. Therefore, Xu Yinglong was so nervous when he heard that the visitors from Despair Hill appeared in Shenmu County.

Suddenly, another ghost came in a boat.

When Xu Yinglong heard the news from the evil messenger, his expression suddenly became extremely interesting, with a hint of fear in his surprise.

"The Desperate Poker, dead?!"

No one dared to touch the people of Despair Hill, not to mention the people of Despair Hill, even the Heaven Listeners from Despair Hill, no one dared to touch them! And now, two masters of Despair Hill actually died in Shenmu County!
Xu Yinglong was surprised that there were two fewer opponents, but he was terrified. Killing Tian Ting would bring disaster, and killing the visitor from Despair Hill, how terrible would the revenge of Despair Hill be?
Will the revenge at Despair Hill implicate the Xu family?

Moreover, who killed the master of Despair Hill?
Could it be Chen Shi?
He was daydreaming when suddenly another ghost came and whispered a few words in his ear. Xu Yinglong was shocked and stood there frozen, not coming to his senses for a long time.

Xu She hurriedly asked: "Sect Master? Sect Master?"

Xu Yinglong came back to his senses and said woodenly, "The three old immortals were chasing after Zhong Wuwang of Despair Slope and arrived in Lingzhou. Zhong Wuwang was injured and fled in Lingzhou to avoid the three old immortals Yan, Gu, and Fei."

He calmed himself down, suddenly waved his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "The three old immortals have arrived outside Lingzhou, follow me to welcome them!"

He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "They must have come here because they couldn't find Zhong Wuwang, so they came to seek help from the ghost and god power of my Xu family!"

Xu She hurriedly followed and walked out of the city.

Outside Lingzhou City, Yan Weizhong, the ancestor of the Yan family, Gu Tong, the ancestor of the Gu family, and Fei Zichong, the ancestor of the Fei family, walked in. Yan Weizhong looked like a middle-aged man, Gu Tong was a teenager, and Fei Zichong had white hair.

Xu Yinglong met the three people and was suddenly startled.

I saw that Yan Weizhong, Gu Tong and Fei Zi Chong were all injured!

The three ancestors were already the closest to true immortals, but unexpectedly, not only did they fail to keep Zhong Wuwang away, but they were also injured by him.

"Is the innate Tao fetus really so powerful?" He was shocked.

Xu She was even more shocked. He had seen how powerful Chen Shi was. He was indeed extraordinary. He considered himself a genius, but there was still a huge gap between him and Chen Shi. He might never catch up in this lifetime.

However, Zhong Wuwang, who injured the three old immortals and escaped from their pursuit, made him feel that it was not a question of whether he could catch up or not.

That's a world of difference, a world of difference!

What a despairing gap!
"Just one Zhong Wuwang has left the three old immortals helpless, forcing them to come to my Xu family for help. Can our Thirteen Families really break free from the shackles of Despair Hill?" He was in a panic.

Shenmu County, Qinghe Town.

Situ Wen brought many local disciples of Lu Ban Sect to work quickly, building houses, drawing runes, and making Yanshi puppets.

He was originally from Qinghe Town, Shenmu County, Lingzhou. Later, he became the leader of the Luban Sect and traveled around the country with a group of craftsmen who could only do craftsmanship. On the eve of the natural disaster, he returned to Qinghe Town with the group of craftsmen he had taken away that year, trying to survive with his family.

The cardinal was ruined so he planned to create another cardinal.

The Cardinal has many houses that can be used to store Yanshi puppets, and can also allow residents of Qinghe Town to move in and live, making it easier to migrate to other places.

He prepared for a rainy day and always felt that living in town was not safe.

"Don't kill the dog! Black dogs are hard to find these days! You've let out too much blood, you bastard. I'll drain your blood later... That's not the dog, it's the dog's ancestor! If it's not enough, just add some of your own blood..."

Situ Wen was scolding a craftsman who wasted black dog blood when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him: "Situ Wen! The craftsman of heaven!"

Situ Wen turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards him, followed by a wooden cart. In the cart lay a tightly wrapped black dog with only its tail sticking out.

Situ Wen was stunned: "True King. King Chen Zhen! It's really you!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I said I would find you. Now I am here."

Situ Wen ran towards him, laughing loudly. Tears started to fall from his eyes as he laughed. He choked up and said, "You're finally here! I thought I would never see you or my other brothers again!"

He cried like a baby, wiping his nose and tears, mumbling: "When I arrived in Lingzhou, it was dark! Only the moon was left! The weather was getting colder and colder, and the food in the town was getting less and less! The county officials came every day to urge us to hand over the food! Many people were beaten to death!"

Chen Shi was angry: "You didn't beat the county magistrate to death?"

Situ Wen said: "Lingzhou belongs to the Xu family. Who dares to kill someone from the Xu family?"

Chen Shi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you don't dare to kill the county magistrate, then I will do it."

He raised his hand and pointed, and an iron ruler as long as ten feet flew out of the wooden cart and whizzed away.

After a while, the iron ruler flew back, with blood beads on it.

Chen Shi remained calm and said with a smile, "The magistrate of Shenmu County is dead."

Situ Wen was surprised and delighted, and dared not say more, and said, "True King, come over here and talk."

Chen Shi followed Situ Wen forward and caught a glimpse of a beggar lying on the corner of the street. He was covered in blood, lying on the ground, dying, and it was unknown what injuries he had suffered.

Chen Shi retracted his gaze and said, "Tian Gong, I found a sunny place for you. It's the Yuewang Temple..."

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. Chen Shi groaned and raised his hand to cover the back of his head. He felt the centipede-like scar on the back of his head become hot!

He just felt as if his head was opened again, and that heart-wrenching feeling came over him again!

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat and his eyes flashed towards the beggar at the corner of the street.
