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

The soldier handed a letter to Li Moxuan, who opened it and read its contents.

"Three days later, bring the Xihe Divine Pearl and the Xumi Divine Pearl to the Ascending Immortal Peak of Tianxi Mountain, or I guarantee that girl will turn into a pile of skeletons, Ying Chengfeng..."

This guy, as expected, is still stubbornly eyeing his divine pearl...

"Young man, what do you plan to do?"

The True Martial Emperor also glanced at the contents of the letter. "Does he intend to hand over the divine pearl to save the girl, or is he going to ignore it?"

"I simply cannot meet his conditions..."

Li Moxuan shook his head. The Xihe Divine Pearl had now completely merged with him and could not be taken out, so naturally he could not give it to Ying Chengfeng.

"However, Lu Xiangong was captured by Ying Chengfeng because she was protecting Qianhong, so I won't just stand by and do nothing..."

"Oh?"

The True Martial Emperor became interested. "So, what do you plan to do?"

"Why don't we sneak into the place where Lü Xiangong is being held and rescue her within these three days?"

"Do you know where that guy Ying Chengfeng is locking your friend up?"

"Probably, pretty much..."

The only places Ying Chengfeng can go now, besides Tianxi Mountain where Ying Long is located, are Zhuanlun City where the Shenwuling Legion is located.

Li Moxuan had already sent people to scout out the location of the Wheel of Reincarnation City. They could try to infiltrate and search for Lü Xian Palace. If they couldn't find it, then it must be in Tianxi Mountain.

Li Moxuan also knew the location of Tianxi Mountain. He planned to first infiltrate Zhuanlun City to find Lüxian Palace, and if he couldn't find it, he would go to Tianxi Mountain to take a look.

To avoid alerting Ying Chengfeng with too many people, Li Moxuan planned to sneak in alone. He figured he would have to face Ying Chengfeng sooner or later anyway, so he wasn't too afraid.

However, before that, Li Moxuan had to arrange everything for the Greedy Battalion and take over the area originally controlled by the Hall of Heroes as soon as possible.

……

Shuiyun Street, the Path of the Wind.

With Fan Kuai joining the battle, Cao Yanbing's disadvantage became even more obvious. However, the one who was having a headache was not Cao Yanbing, but Li Xuanyuan and his group.

The reason is simple: Cao Yanbing was willing to fight them to the death, but they dared not fight back, because what if they accidentally sent him away?

Fan Kuai swung his sword and cleaved away the dragon claws that had grown out from behind "Cao Yanbing," feeling a bit annoyed. "Fighting with your hands tied is really no fun..."

"Yixin, what do you plan to do now?"

Fan Tianyin, who had just arrived, asked, "Are we going to keep dragging this out until Liu Yuchan returns, or are we going to think of another way?"

Zhuge Yixin shook his head, "If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid Chief Cao's health won't be able to hold up before Achan returns!"

"Ah Liang, you control the Eight Desolate Wind Wolf Formation. I'll go find Yuan Qing to set up a formation that can trap Chief Cao and temporarily control him!"

"Yes, Isshin, you can go without worry!"

At this moment, within the Ten Kings of Hell, Cao Yanbing in his Flame God form was locked in a fierce battle with Cao Cao in his Fire Dragon King form.

The Flame Killer God can be considered an upgraded version of the Fire Dragon King, and the result was obvious: Cao Cao was constantly pinned to the ground and suppressed by Cao Yanbing.

"Boy..."

Cao Cao was torn apart and reborn once again by Cao Yanbing. "Stop fighting! We've been fighting for so long, you're tired, but I am!"

Cao Yanbing was panting heavily, but a smile appeared on his face. "Old man, did you think I was just playing along with you before? I've found a way to break this deadlock!"

"Kid, what do you mean by that?"

Cao Yan sneered, "Old man, don't you sense anything strange?"

Hmm—why does that sound so familiar?

Cao Cao carefully examined his body and was immediately stunned. He found that his injuries were healing much slower than before.

"You've discovered it, haven't you?"

Cao Yanbing's Ten Kings of Hell transformed into a dragon core weapon. "You said this is the internal space of the Ten Kings of Hell, so everything here is naturally under its control!"

"As long as I can control it, I can stop it from healing your injuries and find an opportunity to kill you!"

Damn it...

Cao Cao carefully sensed it and found that his connection with the Ten Kings of Hell had indeed weakened.

It seems that because he had been suppressed and beaten by Cao Yanbing, the Ten Kings of Hell felt too ashamed and turned to Cao Yanbing's embrace.

If things continue like this, Cao Yanbing, that madman, might actually pose a threat to my safety. If he were to successfully kill me, I would probably lose all face.

Of course, most importantly, once Cao Yanbing successfully controls the Ten Kings of Hell, everything inside will be under his control, which Cao Cao absolutely cannot allow.

Since that's the case, we have to take advantage of the fact that Cao Yanbing hasn't fully mastered the Ten Kings of Hell and kill him!

Chapter 234: Weighing the Pros and Cons

Xincheng Street.

"Mo Xuan, news has come from Lao Yi and Yun Xuan: they have already taken over half of the territory controlled by the Hall of Heroes!"

"In addition, King Qin and Yuchi Lie have taken over the Spirit Realm. I'd like to ask how to deal with those Spirit Masters and Great Heavenly Emperors..."

Yuan Xichen entered the tent and reported the latest situation to Li Moxuan.

Li Moxuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Xi Chen, have Wang Gong and Lie Tang escort Da Yutian back to Nandou Street. Also, bring the Spirit Master along. Remember to protect him closely and don't let anyone else get close!"

There are still large areas of the Underworld that haven't been taken over by the Greedy Camp. With the Great Emperor in charge, things will go much more smoothly. Once I have complete control of the Underworld, I'll make him disappear.

Of course, Li Moxuan had already figured out how to get rid of Da Yutian. Wasn't Huangfu Longdou resentful of the Spirit Realm?

This is a good opportunity to give him revenge. In any case, even without the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl, Da Yutian might not be able to defeat Huangfu Longdou in his current state.

After Huangfu Longdou "breaks out" and eliminates Da Yutian, he will send him away, and through this, he can legitimately and completely change the ownership of the Underworld to Li...

"oh, I understand now!"

Yuan Xichen glanced around but couldn't find the True Martial Emperor. "Mo Xuan, where is that senior?"

"He's gone..."

Li Moxuan glanced at the two cups of tea on the table, which were still warm, and slowly began to speak.

"Huh? They're gone?"

Yuan Xichen's heart skipped a beat. He had originally planned to wait for the True Martial Emperor to finish talking with Li Moxuan before discussing the price of his arrival, but he didn't expect him to leave without saying a word.

Alas, it seems I am destined to die young!

"Xi Chen, thank you so much this time!"

Li Moxuan had already learned what had happened from Yang Qianhong. If Yuan Xichen hadn't summoned the True Martial Emperor, the situation might have been very different.

The one who was arrested might be Yang Qianhong, but Lu Xiangong's situation is more than just being arrested; he might even lose his life.

"Oh, what are you thanking me for?"

Yuan Xichen sighed and sat down to the side. "Although we managed to protect Qian Hong, in the end, Lü Xiangong was still captured..."

He paused, then looked up at Li Moxuan. "That guy Ying Chengfeng might use Lüxiang Palace to threaten you. What do you plan to do?"

"He has already made threats..."

Li Moxuan picked up the letter left by Ying Chengfeng and handed it to Yuan Xichen. "He wants me to go to Tianxi Mountain alone to hand over the Divine Pearl, or he will kill Lü Xiangong..."

"Then what do you think?"

Yuan Xichen glanced at the letter that had appeared in the future he had seen; the only difference was that the person who had been captured had changed.

"You're not really planning to go and save Lü Xiangong, are you?"

"Yes, of course I'll go!"

Li Moxuan didn't hesitate at all. "After all, she was captured because she was trying to save Qianhong. It would be too unfair of me to just give her up like this!"

"Moreover, although Qianhong didn't say it, I could tell she felt very guilty. If she really did nothing, this matter would probably become a nightmare for the rest of her life..."

Yuan Xichen hesitated for a moment. He felt that what Li Moxuan said did make some sense, but if he really went, he would probably relive the future he had seen.

Although she felt it was very unfair to say that, Yuan Xichen still tried to persuade him, "Mo Xuan, why don't we just forget about it? It's too risky..."

"why?"

Li Moxuan looked at Yuan Xichen with surprise. In the past, Yuan Xichen would not stop him from doing anything. Instead, he would weigh the pros and cons and help him improve the details of the plan.

Today, he actually advised me to give up on this life-or-death matter, skipping the stage of weighing the pros and cons. Could he have taken the wrong medicine?

Yuan Xichen gritted his teeth and continued to persuade him, "Mo Xuan, think about it carefully. Ying Chengfeng will definitely lay a trap in Tianxi Mountain. If you go there, you will fall into the trap!"

“You’re not alone anymore. The Underworld will be unified soon. If something happens to you at this critical juncture, the Underworld will fall into chaos again…”

"Besides, think about Shui'er and the others. What would happen to them if something were to happen to you? Would they remain widows or remarry?"

"Get lost!"

Li Moxuan's face darkened, and he stepped forward. "Yuan Xichen, you're acting very strangely today! You usually explain the pros and cons to me, why did you skip that?"

"Tell me the truth, why are you trying to persuade me not to go?"

Yuan Xichen didn't intend to hide it from Li Moxuan, "Do you remember when I said that my eyes could see other people's futures?"

"And this time, I saw your future..."

He recounted his vision of the future to Li Muxuan, "Although Ying Chengfeng only has Xuanma left, I'm still not sure if fate will bring everything back on track!"

"Only if you don't go, and Ying Chengfeng's plans fall through, can I be sure that your fate has changed..."

Li Moxuan recalled what Yuan Xichen had just said about the future, "You mean I was ambushed by Ying Chengfeng and Huangfu Longdou on Tianxi Mountain, and we all died together?"

"No, you didn't die, you just disappeared into the underworld, and I don't know where you went..."

Yuan Xichen shook his head. Li Moxuan was born with the destiny of the Purple Star Emperor. As long as he had not yet become the ruler of the world, he could not possibly die.

Unless the other party is powerful enough to rewrite fate, which Ying Chengfeng certainly doesn't have...

"Although Huangfu Longdou is missing, we don't know what kind of ambush Ying Chengfeng has laid on Tianxi Mountain."

"Furthermore, because of Huangfu Longdou's absence, he might increase the intensity of his ambushes, which is why I don't want you to take the risk..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Mo Xuan, I know that doing this will make you feel guilty, and it's also unfair to Lü Xiang Palace, but we must put the bigger picture first!"
