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

Meanwhile, Ji Haoxuan had already gathered the core high-ranking members of the Human Emperor Palace for a meeting.

In addition to Yao Xiaolin, Shi Yan, Zhao Lixuan, Song Xinxue, and Zhang Heng'an, there is also Los of the Holy Covenant Church, who is Sylvia's brother.

He gave a brief account of the current situation facing the Human Emperor's Palace, including the return of Sword Master Lingyan. Everyone's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty, except for Yao Xiaolin and Shi Yan.

"Compared to Li Moxuan and Jiang Mingxuan, we don't have enough time to prepare. Even if we are likely to be the first to stick our necks out, we must be prepared to launch an attack!"

"But before that, I need to find out what's going on in Huanmengtian. I'll leave the Human Emperor's Palace to you for now!"

"no!"

Zhao Lixuan objected, "Palace Master, the old Heavenly Lord of Illusionary Dream Heaven is quite powerful. What if she catches you? What will we do then?"

“That’s right!” Song Xinxue also objected. “Besides, the strategist said that Jiang Mingxuan’s strength has increased significantly, and with the return of Lingyan Sword Master, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone!”

"They have a point!"

Nearly sixty years old, Los spoke up, "Princess Ji, please reconsider!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Heng'an suggested, "Palace Master, let me go with you!"

Yao Xiaolin shook his head, "No, if too many people go, it will be easier to be exposed..."

"I'll go!"

Shi Yan, whose hair was now short and gray, spoke, a faint smile still on his face.

"I am at the sixth level of Immortality. With Kronos's help, I can escape unscathed even if I encounter danger!"

That guy is finally back. I should at least hand over the reins to him!

"However, I've heard that Jiang Tianshuo, the commander of the Frost Forbidden City guards, is not someone to be fooled. I'd better visit him as an envoy of the Holy Covenant Church..."

His gaze fell on Los. "Therefore, I may need to ask His Holiness the Pope for help!"

"no problem!"

Los readily agreed; after all, it was an investment, and he could certainly help with this small favor…

"That's all for now! Meeting adjourned..."

As the meeting concluded and everyone left the room, they happened to run into Su Xuanwei, who had been brought there by Zhu Qingchan.

"You guys go first!"

Ji Haoxuan waved his hand, signaling the others to leave first, while he stayed behind. "Xiao Wei, what brings you here?"

"Brother, I have something I'd like to talk to you about!"

"You two chat, I'm going back to take care of your aunt!" Zhu Qingchan tactfully gave the two of them enough private space.

After she left, Su Xuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother, can we not fight for the throne?"

Ji Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that his mother must have said something to her again. However, he still didn't understand. "Xiaowei, don't you want to save your mother?"

"Of course I want to!"

Su Xuanwei said urgently, "But brother, we only want the Kongtong Seal to treat Mother. If Brother Moxuan gets the Kongtong Seal, perhaps we can borrow it from him!"

"Give it back to him when you're done, that way you won't have to fight, okay?"

Ji Haoxuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Xiao Wei, it's too late..."

So many people are pushing him forward; if he gives up halfway, how will he explain it to them?

Besides, he didn't want his sister to beg other men...

"Why?" Su Xuanwei was a little confused.

"There's no reason why, this is my choice..."

"..."

Su Xuanwei fell silent, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and her eyes gradually hardened. "Brother, please help me break the seal!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoxuan was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and frowned. "Did Li Mu tell you this?"

Su Xuanwei did not answer, "Brother, this is also my choice..."

"..."

"it is good……"

Although he disliked Li Mu bypassing him and acting recklessly, Ji Haoxuan still agreed, "Xiao Wei, come with me!"

He led Su Xuanwei to a palace and gestured for her to sit cross-legged. Su Xuanwei obediently did so and sat down.

Ji Haoxuan stretched out his hand, and a Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand. He gripped the hilt, and the blade cut a gash on his arm, from which blood flowed.

Under his divine control, the blood that fell to the ground etched a strange pattern on the ground, and he then dipped his finger in the blood and touched Su Xuanwei's brow.

The blood-red pattern on the ground instantly emitted a burst of blood-red light. Su Xuanwei felt a powerful divine force impacting her mind, and she gradually lost consciousness.

She was enveloped in blazing Nine Heavens Profound Gold Divine Light, and a powerful figure slowly emerged from within the divine light.

She wore a black, gilded phoenix-patterned battle armor, a nine-colored phoenix feather shawl draped over her shoulders, and wings spread across her back like a black phoenix. She wore a nine-dragon phoenix crown and held the Heavenly Pivot Black Halberd in her right hand.

She is Su Xuanwei's guardian deity—the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden glanced at Ji Haoxuan, said nothing more, and then transformed into divine light and dissipated, returning to Su Xuanwei's body.

Ji Haoxuan picked up his younger sister and placed her on the bed inside the hall. He covered her with a blanket and walked out of the hall, where a figure had been waiting for a long time.

"You called me here just to be her nanny?"

Yang Che's tone was somewhat displeased. He was a warrior, and he hadn't descended to the mortal realm to take care of others.

Ji Haoxuan shook his head, "Nüba, Xiaowei can't fully control her divine power yet. I just want you to help teach her..."

In the end, won't I still have to take care of her?

Although reluctant, Yang Che agreed. He had no choice; even if he hadn't agreed, there was nothing else he could do before Ji Haoxuan launched his campaign.

After arranging everything, Ji Haoxuan turned and left. He planned to find Shi Yan to discuss the plans for this trip.

After all, it's not easy to make this trip, and simply investigating Lingyan Sword Master is far from enough...

Chapter 460: I hope you can figure this out.

Tang Clan, Thousand Machine City.

"Wuhu!!!"

Tang Niannian, the sect leader of the Tang Clan, looked at a piece of intelligence in her hand with excitement, "Great! The Sword Master is back!"

“Nephew, do you know that your godfather is back!” she said to Cao Yanbing, who was serving tea and water to him.

"I'm not deaf yet..."

Cao Yanbing stood expressionlessly to the side. He regretted returning to the Tang Clan. He was constantly being ordered around by Tang Niannian to do chores, under the guise of working to pay off his debts.

The worst part is that he can't beat this girl, it's so frustrating!

In other words, Lin Haiyuan really valued them and had been training the four of them. Cao Yanbing was even thinking about finding an opportunity to become his apprentice.

They are too weak now, not even ranking in Qianji City. Finding a backer is very important. Unexpectedly, their godfather came back at this critical moment.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Haiyuan was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, please allow me to meet with the Sword Master!"

"No, Uncle Lin, how can you go alone?"

Tang Niannian raised her hand in refusal and stood up from her seat. "I want to see the Sword Master in person. Nephew, you come with us. Let's set off immediately!"

Cao Yanbing didn't refuse; he also wanted to meet his legendary godfather...

Amidst the turmoil, all sides are moving closer to the Dreamland, including not only those in the open but also those in the shadows.

In the northern district, not far from the Holy Covenant Church, lies a dense forest. The forest is shrouded in mist and filled with an eerie atmosphere. The wind blowing through the forest carries the sounds of ghostly howls.

This place got its name from that, Ghost Cry Forest!

Loki's host, Rock, entered the area. After only a few steps, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up around him, followed by a surge of mummies that surrounded him.

"Rock, you're late!"

A cold voice rang out, and the surrounding mummies quickly made way for a middle-aged man with dark brown skin and sharp, hard facial features.

The man had malachite eyeliner drawn at the corners of his eyes, dark gold pupils, and wore a dark green linen robe embroidered with blue lotus and Styx reed patterns, with a lapis lazuli scarab necklace around his neck.

He held the ancient book of the dead in his hand, sizing up Rock. "Heh, Heris is badly injured, but you're unharmed..."

"That's because he's stupid and brainless, Lord Dori!"

Rock smiled and bowed. The person before him was the guardian spirit of Osiris, the god of the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology, and also the vice leader of the Western Alliance.

The Western Alliance is a hidden alliance of deities, whose guardian deities are all gods from other divine realms outside of the Heavenly Court.

The leader of the alliance is Landos, the god of Olympus and the guardian of Poseidon. At only thirty years old, he has already reached the seventh level of immortality in the realm of gods.

Besides them, there is Serafina, the former Holy Wisdom Master of the Holy Covenant Church; Shiraha Sōichi, the lord of Takemikazuchi of Takamagahara; and Hill, the lord of Parvati, the goddess of the snow mountain.

Of course, there are also some gods who incarnate in the mortal realm, such as Hades incarnating as Herith in the mortal realm...

"You're right, that guy is a complete idiot!"

Dori smiled. His guardian deity was Hades, so he naturally looked down on Heris, whose guardian deity was also called Hades.

He waved his hand, and the surrounding mummy warriors turned into black smoke and dissipated. "Let's go!"

A strange smile appeared on Rock's face as he followed.

Shortly after the two left, a figure emerged from behind a tree. It was Shi Yan, who had just left the Emperor's Palace and was heading to the Frost Forbidden City.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing in the direction where the two had disappeared, and muttered to himself, "Looks like they're preparing to make their move. Ji Haoxuan, this time I'll be of great help to you..."

"Although it might be a little dangerous, everyone will be safe in the end. I hope you can make the right decision then!"

Neither Dori nor Rock noticed Shi Yan. At this moment, they had arrived at a palace filled with Western fantasy atmosphere—the Temple of the Gods.

Upon entering the hall, a man of similar age to Dori sat directly in front of him. The man had long, deep-sea blue hair and ice-blue eyes.

He was dressed in a dark blue, patterned outfit with silver wave patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs, and wore a light blue cloak that looked like water. He also wore a black gold belt inlaid with jade around his waist.

"Alliance Leader, everyone has arrived!"

"Okay, sit down!"
