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

Li Moxuan, however, was completely unmoved. He knew Jiang Ciyou was an ambitious person, and this was clearly a game of good cop/bad cop, a tactic he himself had exhausted...

Seeing that the two were still performing, Li Moxuan simply began to sized up Shi Mo, "Emperor Taizong, can you tell his background?"

Li Shimin quickly replied to Li Moxuan, "The Immortal Realm Three is a true Deity, whose guardian deity is Cangjie, the God of Writing. You can't defeat him..."

What does it mean to be a 'true host of gods'?

"There are many gods in the divine realm, but not all gods can find a suitable host who can bear their divine power!"

"In this situation, if a god wants to go to the Great Thousand God Realm to do something but doesn't have a suitable host god, he will use his divine power to 'create' a host god!"

"The strength of these 'manufactured' deities fluctuates greatly, because a deity can also be considered a god himself, and one needs to control both the deity and the guardian deity in battle."

"Such multitasking greatly limits overall combat effectiveness; how much power a god can unleash depends entirely on the god himself..."

Li Moxuan understood, "This is the same fighting style as those dragon chess generals who go to the underworld, controlling both their main body and their guardian spirit at the same time..."

“That’s right. Few of them go to the underworld for the meager bounty; they have other motives!”

"Either they're entering the underworld for their own reasons, or they're preparing to fight in this way in the future..."

"Lingyan, what do you think?"

Jiang Ciyou patted Li Moxuan on the shoulder, leaving him a little confused. "What do you mean, how?"

Seeing his expression as if he had just come back to his senses, Jiang Ciyou's face stiffened. So he hadn't been listening to her talk for a long time.

"I mean, how about we... go check out the Ghost Realm together tomorrow?"

She directly deleted the part where she was being presumptuous. Without the groundwork laid, saying it directly wouldn't be very effective. She should just honestly investigate his guardian spirit later!

Li Moxuan nodded, "Okay, I have no objection..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his divine decree suddenly lit up...

The divine decree is similar to a combination of a spiritual message and a mobile phone. It looks like a token and can be used to communicate between the gods and humans of the Great Thousand God Realms.

By storing a portion of the other party's divine power in the Divine Decree, and then activating it with one's own divine power when desired, one can contact the other party through the divine power network.

Divine decrees are usually given by the guardian deity to their respective guardian spirits. They come in various forms and bear the characteristics of their guardian deity.

Li Moxuan didn't know about this thing before, mainly because his guardian spirit was transformed from a human martial spirit, and he didn't know how to make this thing...

Su Xuanwei doesn't have a guardian spirit, so she doesn't know that this item was given by a guardian spirit. Jiang Mingxuan didn't say anything... probably because Li Moxuan didn't ask...

In short, this thing is more convenient than spirit messages or the like, but after the guardian deity dies, the divine decree will also dissipate, similar to destroying an account.

Li Moxuan's divine decree was a pentagonal token, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a double-layered gold border, cloud-patterned carvings at the corners, and a golden "God" character engraved on the back.

The oracle's overall color scheme is purple and gold, with a large, three-dimensional, raised seal script character for "order" at the top, making it look very exquisite...

This is a divine decree given to Li Moxuan by Li Shimin. It contains divine power only for Tang Tiannan and Mo Lan, who are the two people he is relatively familiar with.

This time, it was Mo Lan who contacted him. Li Moxuan took out the Divine Decree, and Mo Lan's image appeared before the three of them through his divine power...

"Lingyan, how's your matter going?"

"We just arrived, it hasn't even started yet..."

Because Qianji City is in the western district and the Diluo Mountains are in the eastern district, it took Li Moxuan and Jiang Ciyou almost twelve days to arrive, even though they traveled the entire way by Sky Traveler.

"Huh? Is it that far?"

Since the two were not on a mission within the Tang Sect, Mo Lan had no idea what they were doing or their destination...

"Sister Lan, is there something you need?"

"Oh, is Ciyou with you?"

"Sister Lan, I'm here!"

Jiang Ciyou, on the other hand, was quite informal. She got up from opposite Li Moxuan, sat down next to him, and greeted Mo Lan.

"Ciyou, how long will your mission with Lingyan take?"

"Hmm... a week should be enough at most!"

"That's good!"

In the video, Mo Lan picks up her daughter Tang Xiaoxiao and says, "Remember to come back as soon as you're done with your business. You can't miss Xiaoxiao's one-month celebration!"

Jiang Ciyou happily agreed, "Okay, Sister Lan!"

Li Moxuan nodded, "Sister Lan, I understand..."

After saying that, he hung up the divine decree, unaware that a branch of the Tang Clan had already been wiped out by a seemingly down-on-his-luck swordsman...

Chapter 341: Unparalleled Sword

East District, Tang Clan Guiye Mountain Branch.

The once magnificent building has been reduced to ruins, with broken walls and severed limbs everywhere, and corpses lying on the ground...

"No...don't kill me, it has nothing to do with me!"

A man in his thirties slumped to the ground, backing away, his face filled with fear as he stared at the sword-wielding man in front of him.

He had participated in the assassination attempt a year ago and witnessed the battle, where those strongmen who could have pinned him to the ground were cut in half at the waist by this swordsman.

I thought he was dead, but I never expected that he would not only be alive, but also return for revenge...

"Where is the Tang Clan?"

The swordsman wore a wide-brimmed bamboo hat, had a tall and straight figure, wore dark-colored close-fitting clothes, a black silk cloak, and a hood hanging down his shoulders. His shoulder armor and wrist guards were decorated with dark patterns.

His long hair was tied in a high bun, with a few stray strands fluttering in the wind. His face was etched with the handsome features of time, his eyebrows were sharp, his gaze was cold as a blade, and he wore black leather combat boots.

The swordsman held his nameless sword to the man's neck and said coldly, "Take me there!"

The man hesitated. He knew the swordsman was asking about the location of Thousand Machine City, but the Tang Clan had a rule: revealing such information to outsiders would result in the entire sect hunting him down…

"what--"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his right arm. The swordsman had severed his right arm and said coldly, "If you don't talk, I'll turn you into a human stick and then go find someone else!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. The Tang Clan is located in the Emperor's Fall Mountains in the Eastern District. They... they use the Ghost Domain to cover it up, so no one will guess..."

The man was trembling all over, and he forced himself to speak despite the excruciating pain. He lied, hoping to quickly lure the swordsman away and then escape back to report the news.

He didn't think the swordsman would kill all the Tang Clan's Divine Beings. Revealing the information would lead to being hunted down. He could tell the difference between being hunted by one person and being hunted by a group of people.

Seeing the swordsman sheath his sword, the man breathed a sigh of relief. "Could I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, followed by a warm current flowing down his neck. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and felt like he was choking. He tried to cough but couldn't.

The man collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck, which was already stained with blood. His body convulsed uncontrollably, and blood continued to gush out from the bloodstains on his neck...

"I remember you..."

After leaving those words, the swordsman turned around and headed towards the Emperor's Fall Mountain Range. It wasn't far from there; if he took the Sky Traveler, it would probably only take two or three days to get there.

His name is Jian Wushuang. He was abandoned by his parents when he was young and was later adopted by an old man, who was also his master, the Sword God's master...

The old man noticed his exceptional talent in swordsmanship, which was unparalleled in the world, so he named him Jian Wushuang (Sword Peerless) and began to teach him swordsmanship, grooming him as his successor.

Jian Wushuang was very talented; he was originally a god-possessed being. However, to prevent some wild gods from becoming his guardians and wasting his talent, the old man had the sword god seal his divine veins.

The old man's original intention was to have the Sword God become Jian Wushuang's guardian deity after he passed away peacefully at the age of 18...

However, just as Jian Wushuang turned ten, the old man was assassinated by Tang Clan assassins. To prevent Jian Wushuang from being implicated, he dissolved his contract with the Sword God.

The Sword God became Jian Wushuang's guardian deity ahead of time, and under the old man's instructions, forcibly took him away to escape. The old man, having lost his guardian deity, naturally died at the hands of Tang Clan assassins...

After that, the Sword God took over the old man's teaching of swordsmanship to Jian Wushuang. Jian Wushuang's mastery of swordsmanship greatly surprised the Sword God, as he was able to wield a hundred swords as soon as he entered the Realm of Self-Illumination.

He illuminated himself at eleven, controlled qi at thirteen, forged a realm at sixteen, created things at twenty, and entered the realm of immortality at twenty-five!

At the age of thirty-five, he entered the legendary Ninth Realm of Immortality, becoming unparalleled in the world and never suffering a defeat. He even had the opportunity to enter the Tower of Ascension and ascend to godhood...

In that same year, he was assassinated by the Tang Clan, with the "Three Venerables" of the Seventh Immortal Realm and the twelve Hall Masters of the Fourth Immortal Realm all coming out to kill him.

In addition, Tang Tianji, the sect leader of the fifth level of immortality, a large group of Tang Sect assassins around the eighth level of creation, and two deities from other divine realms joined the battle...

After the battle, all three leaders and twelve hall masters of the Tang Clan died under Jian Wushuang's sword, and countless other assassins also perished at his hands.

Tang Tianji was severely injured and barely survived, but he eventually died in Qianji City due to the severe sword wounds.

As for the two other divine beings from other divine realms, one is a divine being at the fifth level of immortality, whose guardian deity is Hades, the King of the Underworld.

The other is the Immortal Ninth Realm, whose guardian deity is the God of War, Ares…

Jian Wushuang fought with all his might, severely injuring Hades's host, and finally exchanged injuries to forcibly send Ares's host away.

This also led to his guardian sword god being seriously injured and on the verge of death. He was also seriously injured and fell off a cliff after being ambushed by Hades...

Regardless of the circumstances, his record is unprecedented and likely to remain so. Almost all of the Tang Clan's top leaders were wiped out, and two Olympian gods were killed and seriously injured, one dead and the other severely wounded.

Almost everyone thought he was dead, but to everyone's surprise, he not only returned alive, but also seemed to have reached a higher level, although he no longer possessed the aura of a guardian deity...

"Nameless, would you mind giving me a ride?"

The nameless sword in Jian Wushuang's hands trembled slightly, then flew out of its sheath, grew several times larger, and hovered at his feet.

He stepped onto the nameless sword, which soared into the sky, carrying him away as a streak of light that vanished into the horizon...

Meanwhile, while Li Moxuan went back to rest, Shi Mo knocked on Jiang Ciyou's door. Jiang Ciyou opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Girl Jiang, that kid seems pretty dull!"

As soon as Shi Mo entered, he poured himself some tea and started drinking. After closing the door, Jiang Ciyou crossed her arms and leaned against the window. "Uncle Shi, have you figured out who his guardian angel is?"

"No, that's not true..."

Shi Mo frowned. "That kid's guardian spirit is a bit special, but is it necessary to keep it a secret?"

"There are so many creation-level demonic creatures in the Ghost Realm, we just need to find an opportunity for him to make a move!"

Jiang Ciyou had already made up her mind: "I'll go easy on him then. He's only at the fourth level of the Creation Realm, and he definitely can't defeat so many demons without summoning a guardian deity!"

"Uncle Shi, you just need to cover for us then. Once we figure out his guardian, we'll know whether he's worth winning over or not..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Shi Mo shook his head. "I don't think that kid is very interested in you. He seems more interested in money. Jiang girl, greedy people are not trustworthy..."

"Uncle Shi, if he were truly a money-grubber, he wouldn't only accept missions with such low bounties..."
