You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

The Li family ancestral home is located halfway up the mountain in the backyard.

Inside the Li family's Dragon Palace, three yin winds rose up and transformed into the three patriarchs of the Li family in front of Chen Yang.

"Ancestor!"

Li Tianyi and several other elders of the Li clan, along with Li clan members from the vicinity, all bowed in respect.

The three Li clan elders waved their hands, signaling the many Li clan disciples to step back, and then said with a smile, "We are in seclusion and unable to greet you from afar. We hope that Sect Leader Chen will forgive us."

"Master Chen, a banquet has been prepared in the clan. Please move to the reception room."

The power of these three patriarchs shouting behind the scenes.

But when they actually meet face-to-face, they adopt a very humble attitude.

People from noble clans do have their own arrogance, and they don't even care about imperial power, but they also have their own way of surviving... that is, to bow their heads when they should!
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for these prominent clans to survive to this day!
Chen Yang waved his hand and said calmly, "Three patriarchs, you must have guessed why I've come here today. Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

The three elders addressed Chen Yang as "Master Chen" because they intended to treat him as a fellow martial arts practitioner.

But Chen Yang referred to himself as "this commander".

This indicates that he was not visiting the Li family today as "Master Chen," but as "Luo Feng, the Demon Subduer of the Underworld."

Chen Yang's words caused the three elders of the Li family to frown.

The burly young patriarch with a full beard was particularly angry, coldly saying, "Chen Yang, if you come to visit my Li family, then my Li family will welcome you with open arms. But if you come to cause trouble, my Li family is not one to be trifled with!"

"Oh?"

Chen Yang: "You mean you're going to put up a stubborn resistance?"

boom!
The three Li family ancestors unleashed their auras simultaneously, and with each thought, their divine soul power emanated. In an instant, arrays and restrictions within the Li family ancestral home were activated, and beams of light rose from the ground, illuminating the entire Li family ancestral home!
Chen Yang's robes fluttered in the wind, but his body remained completely still.

His expression was as calm as still water; he spoke coldly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Li family ancestral home—

"The three Li family ancestors died from physical exhaustion, but were reborn by seizing another's body. They violated the laws of the underworld, disrupted the order of the yin and yang, and showed no remorse. According to the laws of the underworld, they should be captured and sent to the underworld for detention and trial!"

boom!
Within Chen Yang's body, a powerful surge of Yin energy suddenly erupted!

As Chen Yang continued to refine the external turbid tide, his cultivation and physical body were also strengthening every day. Chen Yang had never practiced martial arts or deliberately tempered his physical body, but his physical body was definitely no weaker than that of a Martial Saint!

What's most astonishing is his cultivation level!
On the day Chen Yang's cultivation erupted at Qingwei Daoyuan, the Yin energy was like clouds, directly transforming into a ghost domain that isolated Qingwei Daoyuan. Now that his cultivation has erupted, rolling Yin energy spreads around him, turning into clusters of dark clouds!

With a thought, he reached out and grabbed at the three patriarchs of the Li family, coldly saying, "You three old geezers, you don't know what's good for you... I came to visit the Li family intending to give you some face, but you refused... then don't blame me for being impolite!"

The moment Chen Yang reached out to grab, the rolling dark clouds had already transformed into a huge vortex of dark clouds!

Mysterious Yin Soul Capture!

"Chen Yang, do you dare?"

"Oh no! This is the legendary 'Mysterious Yin Soul-Seizing and Spirit-Severing Technique.' A ghost immortal who escaped from the eighteenth level of hell once used this move to directly capture more than three hundred thoughts of a Maoshan master. Quick, calm your mind!"

As expected of the Li family patriarch, he was quite knowledgeable and actually recognized Chen Yang's move!
However, it was of no use.

Even though they immediately stabilized their minds and retreated into the formation of the Li family's ancestral home, Chen Yang still managed to capture more than thirty of their thoughts!

Those tiny, crystal-clear ghost immortal thoughts, each the size of a grain of rice, flew into Chen Yang's hand. However, the thoughts contained within them did not die out and continued to struggle and jump. In fact, each thought burst out with powerful energy, unleashing Daoist techniques and supernatural powers to attack Chen Yang!
There was even a sudden surge of thoughts that made him want to self-destruct!
"it's useless."

"You haven't even survived the tribulation of lightning. You're no different from ants in front of me. You think you can cause trouble in front of me with just a few dozen thoughts?"

Chen Yang sneered and clenched his fist!
A powerful burst of pure Yang divine soul power erupted, directly erasing the thoughts within each ghost immortal's mind. Then, the divine soul circulated, refining all ninety-plus ghost immortal thoughts in an instant!

Chen Yang originally had 2997 Ghost Immortal Thoughts, one of which was a Ghost Immortal Thought that had undergone four tribulations of lightning, given to him by Lord Cui. The remaining 2996 Thoughts had all survived one tribulation of lightning!
Now, there are ninety-eight more!

Moreover, these ninety-eight ghost immortal thoughts are rapidly transforming under the nourishment of Chen Yang's pure yang divine soul power, and pure yang power is faintly emerging on them!
Black clouds churned around Chen Yang, and his aura continued to rise!

However, under the suppression of the array restrictions in the Li family ancestral home, his cultivation yin energy failed to form a ghost domain to cover the Li family ancestral home!
However, Chen Yang's strength will not be affected by the Ghost Domain. For him, the biggest function of the Ghost Domain is to isolate him from external detection... Of course, the array restrictions of the Li family's ancestral home also have this effect!
As the array formations and restrictions of the Li family ancestral home were activated one by one, a large mist rose up and enveloped the entire Li family ancestral home from the outside.

Outside the Li family ancestral home.

Immediately, someone noticed the anomaly, and in less than two or three minutes, the news reached the headquarters of the Special Administration Bureau and the high-ranking members of various powerful families and sects.

"what?"

"A thick fog has risen over the Li family's ancestral home, so thick that even divine sense cannot penetrate it?"

At the Special Administration Bureau headquarters, Jiang He was taken aback and asked in surprise, "No... what are the three patriarchs of the Li family thinking? They already know Master Chen's identity, yet they still dare to make a move?"

Chen Yang had mentioned his trip to the Li family in Longxi to Jiang He.

Jiang He's assessment at the time was that Chen Yang's identity as the "Luo Feng Subduing Demon Underworld Marshal" had already spread. The Li family was large and powerful, and according to the usual practices of these high-ranking clans, they would certainly not go against Chen Yang in order to ensure the continuation and inheritance of their families!
did not expect……

I actually made a wrong judgment!
Were the three ancestors of the Li family really that tough?
"Minister Jiang, the array and restrictions of the Li family's ancestral home have been layered and arranged by generations of Li family masters, making them extremely powerful. According to records, 800 years ago, a master who had undergone four tribulations of lightning tribulations stormed into the Li family's territory with a great treasure, but ultimately returned empty-handed. Instead, his own power attracted the attention of a supreme heavenly treasure, and he was guided to ascend to immortality..."

Jiang He's assistant is a martial arts master. He has followed Jiang He for many years, learned about many secrets, and understood the experiences of various families and sects.

"Master Chen has just survived a tribulation of lightning. He has rashly barged into the Li family's ancestral home. I'm afraid he won't be able to leave unscathed. Minister Jiang... should we lend a hand?"

Jiang He laughed and said, "800 years ago, the Li family had a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal presiding over the formation, and there was even a peak Martial Saint in the Li family. Compared to back then, the three ancestors of the Li family can only exert limited power on the formation and restrictions of the Li family's ancestral home. They probably can't do anything to Master Chen."

"of course."

"No matter what, we should still help."

Jiang He's face darkened, and he sneered, "A few years ago, those ghost immortals from clans and sects treated the capital city like it was deserted, and repeatedly projected their avatars to threaten me... Now, it's time to pay them back!"

Jiang He walked out of the Special Administration Bureau headquarters.

The moment he stepped out of the Special Administration Bureau headquarters, his aura suddenly burst forth, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky and vanished without a trace in an instant!
Many masters in Kyoto were alarmed.

In particular, major clans and sects have stationed experts in the capital city for extended periods. "This is..."

"The scent of rivers?"

"Martial Saint?"

"No, even the legendary invincible Martial Saint wouldn't put such immense pressure on me from this distance. This is a Human Immortal! The legendary Martial Dao Human Immortal! Jiang He has broken through to the Martial Dao Human Immortal realm?"

"Quickly, report this message!"

…………

Taiyuan, Wang family.

As one of the five prominent families, the Wang family's history is no less ancient than that of the Li family, dating back to more than 500 BC.

The Wang family honors "Prince Jin" as their ancestor.

This man was also a legend. He was the crown prince of King Ling of Zhou during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. His surname was Ji, his given name was Jin, and his courtesy name was Ziqiao. Later, he had a disagreement with King Ling of Zhou on the strategy of flood control and was demoted to a commoner.

After being demoted, Prince Jin became famous throughout the land. He loved playing the sheng (a type of reed pipe instrument), and his voice sounded like the song of a phoenix. He also loved traveling the world. On the banks of the Yi and Luo rivers, he met the immortal "Fuqiu Sheng" and took him to Mount Song to cultivate.

More than thirty years later, a man named Huan Liang met Prince Jin, who said to him, "Please tell my family that we will meet at Mount Goushi on the seventh day of the seventh month."

On that day, Prince Jin appeared on the summit of Mount Goushi riding a white crane. He attained enlightenment and transcended tribulation at the summit. A few days later, Prince Jin waved goodbye to the world and ascended to heaven. This is the legend of "Prince Ascending to Immortality".

When Wu Zetian performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, she bestowed upon the crown prince the title of "Ascension to Immortality Crown Prince".

Qu Yuan wrote in "Far-off Journey": "The chariot cannot be climbed, I will follow Wang Qiao to play." In addition, Bai Juyi wrote a poem "Prince Jin Temple". Famous people throughout history, such as Xie Lingyun and Zheng Lue, have written about and commemorated this ancestor of the Wang clan.

Li Bai once wrote the poem "I love Prince Qiao, who attained enlightenment at the banks of the Yi River," referring to Prince Jin, the progenitor of the Wang clan. This demonstrates the historical influence of Prince Jin, the progenitor of the Wang clan.

The Wang clan today is no longer as glorious as it once was, but this is an inevitable phenomenon after more than 600 years of the "end of Dharma". In fact, the Wang clan is still one of the most prestigious clans in the Great Xia Dynasty, both in ancient and modern times!

Their businesses span the entire country and cover all sectors, and with thousands of years of accumulation, they possess wealth comparable to that of a nation!
Their clan has a complete lineage of Taoist cultivation and martial arts. Even in the "Dharma-ending Age," there are still people who cultivate. Although they cannot achieve the level they have now, they can still become "martial arts masters."

The three ancestors of the Wang clan in Taiyuan who were revived were in no way inferior to the three ancestors of the Li clan.

At this very moment, at the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall in Taiyuan.

As soon as Chen Yang stepped into the Li family ancestral home and the Li family ancestral home's formation was fully activated, the three patriarchs of the Wang family received the news immediately!

"I never expected that this Master Chen would actually make a move after all!"

"The realms of Yin and Yang are separated, and the path between life and death is severed. The ghosts and gods of the underworld cannot come to the mortal realm. How dare a mere underworld general who has just survived his tribulation try to suppress us... Make your move!"

"Give the Li family a hand and suppress Chen Yang!"

It's not just the Wang family.

At this moment, the ancestors of the Cui, Lu, Zheng, and some other clans and sects all received the news. They were very tacit and set off to go to the Li clan to help!

One after another, ghostly immortals swiftly entered Longxi County.

The powerful auras shook the heavens and earth, causing the sky to change drastically!

The mist inside the Li family ancestral home trembled, and the aftershocks of the powerful collision of Taoist magic continued to emanate. A ghost immortal transmitted a message, and just as he was about to enter the Li family ancestral home, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at the distant horizon!

But then a powerful aura rapidly approached from the horizon, arriving outside the Li family's ancestral home in the blink of an eye!
"Jianghe?"

"Martial Arts Immortal!"

"He broke through... Wait, why does he dare to unleash his aura so recklessly? Isn't he afraid of being sensed by the Heavenly Treasure and guided to ascension?"

The realm of a Martial Immortal is equivalent to that of a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, and they will be received by the Heavenly Court.

Unless one uses a secret treasure to conceal their aura, they can remain hidden in the mortal realm. However, once their aura is revealed, it will be detected by the supreme treasures of the Heavenly Dao!

It is beyond reason that someone like Jiang He, who so freely exudes the aura of a martial arts immortal, is not guided to ascension by the Heavenly Dao.

brush!
Jiang He stood suspended in mid-air, glanced at the Li family ancestral home shrouded in thick fog, then swept his gaze across the void in front of him and laughed, "So lively? It seems everyone here is a law-abiding citizen, knowing that their possession and rebirth violated the laws of the underworld, so they came specifically to confess to Master Chen?"

He said it in a joking tone.

However, the aura of a martial arts immortal and the incomparably powerful martial arts will emanating from him caused these ghost immortals to tremble. Many of the ghost immortals who were originally close to the Li family's ancestral home retreated a little.

Since none of the ghost immortals responded, Jiang He asked again, "Oh?"

"Are you all not here to have Chen Yang surrender himself, but rather to join forces with the Li family... to deal with Chen Yang?"

"I just don't understand... Chen Yang represents the Underworld, how dare you attack him? Aren't you afraid that the Underworld will cause you trouble in the future?"

In the void, a ghostly voice rang out: "Whether the Underworld will cause us trouble or not, we'll only know in the future. Jiang He, this matter has nothing to do with you, so please step aside!"

Jiang He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What if I don't allow it?"

The ghostly immortal's voice was ethereal, seemingly coming from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his location. He coldly said, "Minister Jiang, do you think that just because you've become a martial arts immortal, you can withstand the combined attacks of so many of our experts?"

"Jiang He, you need to know that this is not the capital city!"

A sinister laugh echoed from the void once more—

"Fellow Daoists, since Jiang He has delivered himself to our doorstep, why don't we join forces to kill him first, and then deal with Chen Yang? At that time, we will be in charge of this mortal realm, and we can each carve out our own territory and occupy our own domain!"

boom!
Jiang He suddenly made a move, smashing a fist into the void!
His terrifying fist intent erupted, causing ripples in the air. A miserable scream echoed from the void, followed by the appearance of a figure formed from the thoughts of a ghost immortal. He stared intently at Jiang He and exclaimed, "Impossible... Even if you become a human immortal, you cannot possess such power!"

Jiang He smiled faintly, and a faint, ethereal shadow resembling a long river appeared above his head. The ghost immortal, as if he had seen a ghost, exclaimed in terror, "No... this is impossible! This... could this be the legendary Path of the Human Emperor?" (End of Chapter)
