My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 81 Today we hold the long spear in our hands, when will we bind the azure dragon?

After saying that, he hurriedly added, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Lu Ming took the letter, waved it at him, and began to read it himself.

Seeing this, Liu San breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the two behind him away as if fleeing.

As Lu Ming looked at the letter, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Dear Brother,

Yinhu County is going through a turbulent time. My dear brother has been working tirelessly day and night, both for public and private reasons. His hard work and great achievements have brought me great comfort and I am deeply grateful.

I have now specially arranged for my worthy brother to serve as a clerk, in charge of the troops of a county. With power in his hands, he can also realize his ambitions and live up to his lifelong learning.

I have long sought the Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree Tears, a rare find in the world, and by sheer coincidence, I have one hidden in my collection.

Knowing that my esteemed brother longs for this, I specially ordered someone to deliver it to him, to fulfill his wish and to express my humble feelings as his elder brother.

However, it concerns my brother's own safety, which has kept me tossing and turning at night, so I have no choice but to tell you the truth.

The method of summoning spirits with talismans is actually a heretical and evil art. It may seem to be effective for a short time, but in reality, it has endless hidden dangers.

As long as the sorcerer remains, my virtuous brother will be controlled by him, unable to escape his shackles for life, and the consequences will be endless.

Whenever my brother thinks of this, he is filled with worry and cannot rest at night.

Evil Taoists run rampant, wreaking havoc on the court and poisoning the people; such actions are intolerable to Heaven.

If these evil creatures are not eliminated, not only will Yinhu County not have peace, but the world will also find it difficult to enjoy tranquility.

I wonder if my virtuous brother, with your noble spirit, would be willing to step forward and eliminate this major threat for your own future and for the sake of all people?

I have also heard that you, my dear brother, are currently struggling with a bottleneck in your martial arts career, making it difficult to make any progress, and there is even a risk of sudden death. I am also very worried about you.

By chance, my brother obtained a Four Seasons Token from the Four Seasons Sect.

The Four Seasons Sect is one of the five sects of our Great Zhao Dynasty, with a profound history.

Legend has it that in the past, several great masters explored the ultimate principles of martial arts in this blessed land of the four seasons, deducing countless different paths, and inscribing them all within the blessed land.

If you take this token with you, my dear brother, you may be able to glimpse the true essence of martial arts, break free from your predicament, and find your path ahead clear.

This order has been placed inside a brocade box and is being sent with this letter.

Once my worthy brother has accomplished his mission and eliminated the evil path, I will immediately write a letter to recommend him. My worthy brother will then take the letter to the Four Seasons Sect and surely find a way to break the deadlock.

I earnestly request my virtuous brother to prioritize the well-being of the people, wield your sword to vanquish the demons, clear away the evil influence, restore a clear sky and a peaceful land to Yinhu County, and return a clean and tranquil place to the people.

I eagerly await your good news, my dear brother.

Your foolish brother bows deeply and respectfully!

"Interesting—just a few days ago, he killed me over a mere disagreement, but now he addresses me as 'brother.'"

Lu Ming's lips curled slightly, a strange smile appearing on his face: "This Liu Zhiyuan is indeed a veteran of the officialdom; he can bend and stretch as he pleases."

Liu Zhiyuan's letter, seemingly sincere and heartfelt, actually conveys only one meaning:

After eliminating the traitor Yun Changfeng, I recommend you join the Four Seasons Sect to find a way to resolve your divergence in martial arts paths.

To gain his trust, she even sent him the Four Seasons Token, along with a Phoenix Perching on a Wutong Tree Tears, demonstrating her determination.

"Looks like you're really scared."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and stood up to look in the direction of the government office.

The Xuanzi Qi was slowly recovering, but the Hong form had disappeared, clearly indicating that Yun Changfeng's attack that day had severely injured it.

"However, Yun Changfeng's cultivation level—"

Thinking of the other party's unfathomable strength, his face immediately darkened.

"BOOM—!!!"

With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth shattered, the sky exploded, the universe trembled, and the entire Cangming Great World shook violently under this supreme pressure.

Suddenly, a violent upheaval swept across the land, the earthquake raging like a raging wave.

In Yinhu County, houses collapsed in large numbers, the sounds of bricks and tiles crumbling and the cries of living beings mingling together like a tidal wave, which was instantly swallowed up by the deafening roar of the earth shaking.

"Ming'er, what—what on earth has happened?"

Shen Ru and the other two rushed out in panic, their faces ashen, and looked at Lu Ming in bewilderment.

Lu Ming's expression changed drastically. He forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, protected Shen Ru behind him, and with a light touch of his toes, he leaped onto the roof beam and looked into the distance.

"hold head high-!!!"

A dragon's roar resounded through the heavens, its sound waves overturning the sea of ​​clouds and tearing the sky apart.

Above Luoyang, twelve beams of azure light shot into the sky with a thunderous roar.

The main road shone brightly, while the two beams dimmed and were about to go out, barely managing to stay afloat only by frantically devouring the remaining light from the other pillars.

Deep within the clouds, a ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragon soars upwards, its body coiling across the Milky Way, its mournful roar sounding like a long, blood-soaked cry.

Lu Ming stared intently and saw a figure standing behind the Azure Dragon, leaning on a staff, chasing the dragon through the air, ascending to the heavens step by step.

The man stood amidst the raging winds and thunder, amidst the overwhelming power of the heavens. His figure was as thin as a leaf, yet he remained as steady as an ancient divine mountain, not yielding an inch, relentlessly pursuing the enemy.

"Zhang Jiao! How dare you betray the oath sworn to Heaven! Even if you possess unparalleled talent and earth-shattering supernatural powers, you will surely suffer the fate of having your soul scattered and never being reincarnated!"

His roar was like thunder, carrying the supreme majesty of one who rules the order of heaven and earth, sweeping across the six directions.

"Heaven's ways are unjust; what remains of our oath? To fight for a glimmer of hope for humanity, what is there to fear even in death!"

The aged and calm voice echoed slowly, yet it carried an unwavering will that could crush eternity.

Every word and phrase shook the stars to their core and caused the world to lose its color.

Before the words were even finished, thirty-six golden pillars of light shot into the sky simultaneously within the territory of the Great Zhao Dynasty, their golden light reaching ten thousand feet and piercing the heavens.

"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

The roar was furious and resounding, shaking the entire world.

Countless golden divine chains burst forth from the pillars of light, layer upon layer, like a net covering the sky and the earth, tightly binding, tightening, and suppressing the twelve cyan pillars of light in Luoyang.

Above the sky, yellow clouds surged.

A gigantic yellow vortex suddenly took shape, its rotation swallowing up wind and clouds, like a prehistoric beast opening its mouth, ready to devour the heavens and earth.

"Zhang Jiao! You traitor!"

Amidst the twelve streaks of azure light, a sharp, angry voice burst forth, filled with barely concealed panic.

"Hahaha, Zhang Jiao, well done!"

"Once we step into the Azure Sky, we will surely fulfill our promise to you!"

Two voices rang out from the yellow vortex.

One is as gentle as a spring breeze, the other as fierce as a war drum, both carrying an irrepressible ecstasy and excitement.

"Why haven't you made your move yet! If we allow them to enter the Azure Netherworld, we will all be doomed!"

Within the azure light, another chilling voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying extreme anxiety and ruthlessness.

Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

On the open field, four jet-black beams of light suddenly rose up, carrying the power to destroy the world, and blasted straight toward the yellow vortex.

"Zhang Jiao, you've crossed the line!"

From within the black pillar, a grand and majestic voice resounded, carrying an unquestionable supreme authority.

Zhang Jiao remained silent, his gaze sharp as he relentlessly pursued the Azure Dragon.

Holding the bamboo staff high, it stands like an unyielding battle flag, towering between heaven and earth.

Just as the black pillar was about to shatter the yellow vortex, the gentle voice within it suddenly became urgent: "Qiong Jin! You are still so greedy and insatiable, so stubbornly unrepentant!"

At the critical moment, seventy-two blood-red pillars of light suddenly shot into the sky, echoing the previous thirty-six golden beams, weaving together to form a profound array covering the entire sky, like a blood-red divine net stretching across the Milky Way.

"In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will befall the world!"

Countless devout shouts reverberated within the pillar of blood, carrying the resolute determination to face death and the unwavering resolve to change the world, soaring straight to the heavens.

The unstoppable black beam of light suddenly halted, as if bound by invisible chains of heaven, unable to advance an inch, and could only struggle and roar wildly in place.

"All creatures are martyred, their blood offered as a sacrifice to heaven and earth—good! What a great and virtuous teacher! What a cruel heart!"

From within the black pillar, a fierce voice resounded, filled with fear and apprehension.

Zhang Jiao, who was walking on air, paused slightly, a deep sorrow flashing in his eyes, but in an instant, it was replaced by endless determination.

He slowly raised the bamboo staff in his hand, his voice resounding throughout the universe, and roared, "Today I hold the long spear in my hand—when will I bind the azure dragon!"

The resounding voice, louder than wind and thunder, drowning out the roar of dragons, spread throughout the entire world.

The nine-section bamboo staff soared into the air, transforming into a colossal tree reaching for the sky, standing tall and upright like the unyielding backbone of humanity, spanning the yin and yang realms.

In an instant, the thirty-six golden pillars and seventy-two blood pillars shone brightly, and billions of runes poured out, like a reversed galaxy, engulfing the heavens and earth.

"Good! Good! Zhang Jiao, we knew we hadn't misjudged you! We'll lend you a hand!"

Within the yellow vortex, the voice of iron and blood resounded loudly.

Boundless yellow mist spread out, condensing into a supreme yellow talisman covering the sky.

The countless runes flowed towards the talisman like a torrent of water, resonating with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"boom!!!"

The crimson runes moved like dragons and snakes, and the green light transformed from the nine-section staff merged into the runes, instantly becoming one.

An unparalleled pressure, surpassing all combat power in the world, suddenly spread out, causing mountains to bow their heads, rivers to hang upside down, and the sun and moon to lose their light.

"Clang!!"

A sword's cry pierced the chaos.

Fourteen blood-red sword energies burst forth from the talisman, like the sharp edge of divine judgment, striking towards Luo Jing's blue light and the black pillar in the wilderness respectively.

"Uh..."

A series of muffled groans rang out, and from within the pillar of light came an undisguised pain and fury.

"Zhang Jiao! How dare you!!"

The roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, yet deep within the sound lay an overwhelming fear and despair.

In the same instant, the green light transformed into endless vines, instantly wrapping around the ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragon, each vine piercing into its body.

The azure dragon let out a mournful cry. The cyan pillar of light was severely damaged, its aura weakened, and it struggled even more fiercely, but it could no longer break free from this deadly binding force.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent! Zhang Jiao, you truly deserve to be called the greatest supernatural being in this vast Cangming World, unparalleled in history and with unmatched combat power!"

The yellow vortex expanded rapidly, and two colossal figures overlooking all worlds appeared and disappeared within it, exuding confidence and their voices resounding throughout the heavens.

But in the next instant, the expressions on the two giant faces changed drastically, filled with shock and rage, as they roared fiercely: "Zhang Jiao—what do you want to do? How dare you—steal our source power—!"
