Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"Yes!"

The dragon chess soldier guarding the dungeon opened the cell door, and Xuanma stepped into the cell. At this time, Lü Xiangong had already fallen into a coma due to his severe injuries.

Xuanma walked up to Lü Xiangong, squatted down, and sighed after noticing the hideous wound on Lü Xiangong's leg.

Despite being an opponent, Genma couldn't help but admire her for her selfless act of saving others.

"What a lovely young girl, what a pity..."

Xuanma didn't think Li Moxuan would exchange the precious divine pearl for Lüxian Palace; after all, he should be able to weigh the pros and cons clearly.

It's such a pity that such a young girl is about to die at Ying Chengfeng's hands...

Despite this thought, Xuanma still stepped in to stop the bleeding and bandage Lü Xiangong's wound.

She herself had not yet recovered from the injury of her broken tail and the broken pieces of the "pawn" and "cannon", so she did not have time to find any medicine to apply to Lü Xiangong.

Whether this little girl can pull through depends on her fate...

Chapter 232: Old man, you're playing dirty tricks.

Shuiyun Street, inside the courtyard.

"A day has passed, and Master Cao still hasn't woken up. He should be alright, right?"

Zhuge Yixin and Han Yuanqing sat facing each other in front of the chessboard. Their eyes swept over Cao Yanbing's room, and they picked up a white piece and placed it down.

"Xia Ling is taking care of him in the room, he should be fine..."

Han Yuanqing placed a black stone, "To be honest, it's best if Boss Cao doesn't wake up. If he does wake up, it'll be fine if it's him, but if it's not him, we might not be able to withstand it..."

Sitting on the swing under the dragon peach tree, Fan Tianyin wasn't too worried. "Didn't Liu Yuchan say they were done over there and would be back soon?"

"Too……"

Seeing the chess game in front of him had reached a stalemate, Zhuge Yixin put the chess pieces back into the chess jar.

"I heard that Huangfu Longdou has been captured. Judging from this trend, the chaos should be coming to an end soon!"

Zhuge Yixin teased Fan Tianyin, "Tianyin, when Li Moxuan really unifies the Underworld, given your relationship, we'll all be relying on you for protection!"

A blush crept across Fan Tianyin's face. She turned her head away and muttered under her breath, "What does this have to do with me..."

boom--

A loud explosion suddenly came from inside the room, and everyone was stunned. Yan Fengzha, who was sitting on the steps in front of the room, was the first to react and pushed open the door and rushed in.

Inside the room, Xia Ling stared in disbelief at Cao Yanbing, whose eyes were devoid of any emotion and whose aura was completely unfamiliar. "Cao Yanbing, what... is wrong?"

"Master, don't come any closer!"

Li Xuanyuan grabbed the dragon claw that had grown out of "Cao Yanbing's" back with his bare hands. "He should no longer be Cao Yanbing!"

"how is this possible?"

Xia Ling still refused to believe it, gritting her teeth as she said, "How could that miser possibly lose?"

"Master, be careful!"

Suddenly, a dragon claw shot out from Cao Yanbing's chest, bypassing Li Xuanyuan and striking Xia Ling.

"Demon King Slash!"

Yan Fengzha instantly entered his fusion form, swung his scythe and cleaved the dragon claw in two, landing in front of Xia Ling. "Xia Ling, what's going on?"

"I...I don't know, Cao Yanbing suddenly became like this..."

Xia Ling shook her head, a little nervous. Could it be that Cao Yanbing has already been possessed by Cao Cao?

"Holy crap, are you guys tearing the house apart?"

Zhuge Yixin was shocked as soon as he stepped into the room. If the fighting continued, the place would probably be reduced to ruins soon, and rebuilding would be a huge hassle.

Most importantly, Cao Yanbing is notoriously stingy, and he'll definitely renege on his debt in the end...

"Ah Liang, time to get to work!"

"Do not worry!"

Zhuge Liang appeared behind Zhuge Yixin, waved his feather fan, and instantly the floor of the room lit up with runes and magic circles. The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and finally they appeared on the Path of Wind.

"Luckily, I was prepared..."

Standing atop the towering statue of the Ming King, Zhuge Yixin breathed a sigh of relief. After glancing at the dragon claws on Cao Yanbing's back, he asked, "A-Liang, is the one standing here still Chief Cao?"

"no……"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "However, judging from the aura, the opponent is not Cao Mengde, but rather resembles the Ten Kings of Hell under Cao Cao's command..."

"You mean, Chief Cao is currently being controlled by his weapon, the Ten Kings of Hell?"

"It's not impossible..."

Noticing "Cao Yanbing" suppressing Li Xuanyuan and Yan Fengzha, Zhuge Liang raised his right hand, with a whirlwind swirling around his wrist.

"The most urgent task now is to control him as soon as possible. Eight Desolate Wind Wolf Formation, activate!"

As the surrounding winds raged, Cao Yanbing's movements were hampered, and countless hidden weapons were shot towards him.

Yan Fengzha, who was born with the ability to control the wind, was even more at ease with the Eight Desolate Wind Wolf Formation. His speed and strength were increased, and he knocked Cao Yanbing back with a Ghost Shadow Chain Slash.

"No matter who you are, in the wind, I am the absolute king!"

Cao Yanbing was unaware that his body had been controlled by the Ten Kings of Hell, and at this moment he was fighting Cao Cao inside the Ten Kings of Hell.

"Kid, you can't beat me!"

Cao Cao's torn body was restored to its original state once again in front of Cao Yanbing.

"I must admit, your strength far exceeds my expectations. However, here, I am immortal, so you'd better just admit defeat!"

Cao Yanbing was panting heavily. He didn't know how many rounds he had fought with Cao Cao, or how many times he had torn Cao Cao apart, but this guy was just indestructible. It was too unfair!

He can barely maintain his Flame God of Slaughter form anymore; he needs to find the old man's weakness quickly...

Cao Yanbing's body blazed with intense heat once more. "Old man, you're not qualified to make me, Cao Yanbing, admit defeat!"

"Ha ha……"

Cao Cao was not angry because of Cao Yanbing's words, but he was still a little embarrassed to have his soldiers killed so many times by his juniors.

"Kid, don't you sense anything strange?"

Cao Yanbing frowned. "Old man, are you trying to stall for time?"

"You can't kill me, so I have no reason to do it..."

Cao Cao raised his hand and waved it, and a mirror immediately rose from the ground beside him. The mirror showed the battle between Cao Yanbing, who was controlled by the Ten Kings of Hell, and Yan Fengzha and Li Xuanyuan.

Cao Yanbing was stunned for a moment, then angrily retorted, "Old man, you actually resorted to underhanded tactics!"

"Kid, don't underestimate me, Cao Mengde!"

Cao Cao sneered, "It is the Ten Kings of Hell who have controlled your body. When your body is in an unconscious state, the Ten Kings of Hell will become alert and take protective action!"

"From the moment Yu Jin sacrificed himself to unseal the Ten Kings of Hell and Xu Chu became your guardian spirit, the Ten Kings of Hell formed a close connection with you."

"And after you successfully transform into a Martial God by using the Dragon Core, this connection will become even stronger!"

"In other words, while gaining world-destroying power, your self-awareness will become increasingly blurred. If you cannot control the Ten Kings of Hell, they will turn around and control you!"

Noticing Cao Yanbing's darkening expression, Cao Cao turned to look at the mirror.

"When the Ten Kings of Hell control your body, they will kill anyone who gets close, without end!"

"Boy, if you admit defeat now, I can let you and your parents live here in peace for ten years. Moreover, I, Cao Mengde, guarantee with my integrity that I will not harm your companions!"

"In these ten years, I will use your body to lead the Cao family's iron cavalry to conquer this land. After ten years, I will return to you a underworld filled with Cao Wei flags. How about that?"

Cao Yanbing was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "Old man, you're underestimating my companions too much. You think you can defeat them with just a weapon?"

"Furthermore, I have no praise for your character..."

Chapter 233: The Way to Break the Stalemate

Xincheng Street, military camp.

"Are you really the True Martial Emperor?"

Li Moxuan looked at the True Martial Emperor in front of him, who was drinking wine by himself, and felt that he was very different from the True Martial Emperor he had imagined!

"I am not Zhenwu, but merely an embodiment of a portion of his power..."

The True Martial Emperor put down the cinnabar gourd, wiped his mouth, and said, "Young man, you do have some of the spirit of your ancestors. I have high hopes for you. Work hard and strive to bring peace back to the underworld as soon as possible!"

Although he didn't understand why the True Martial Emperor knew about Li Shimin, Li Moxuan nodded and began the main topic.

"Since you are the True Martial Emperor, how did my friend manage to summon you from the Great Thousand Worlds to this place?"

Could it be that Yuan Xichen also possesses the divine art of covering the sky?

"Is this why you sent my junior away?"

The True Martial Emperor sighed, "My descendant used a forbidden technique to summon gods from the Great Thousand Worlds, the price of which was half of his lifespan converted into commission for the summoned gods..."

Half a lifespan?

Li Moxuan was taken aback. Each of Huangfu Longdou's Dragon Chess Generals only had a lifespan of ten years.

But when Yuan Xichen summoned a deity from a great world, it cost half his lifespan. This middleman is making way too much profit!

"Your Majesty, do you think you could restore his lifespan? I can compensate you with something else!"

Regardless of the circumstances, Yuan Xichen lost half of his lifespan for the Greedy Camp, so Li Moxuan naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

The True Martial Emperor gently shook his head. "I don't care about what you have, but he is my junior. How can a senior just accept things from a junior?"

"I didn't take his lifespan, but that also means I can't stay for long. Soon, my power will dissipate, and I will return to the Great Thousand World..."

Upon hearing this, Li Moxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Yuan Xichen's lifespan was saved by half...

"Your Highness, something has happened!"

A soldier ran in, “We just encountered a suspicious enemy. He escaped and left this behind…”
