After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Superintendent Zheng?"

"Ok?"

"The Imperial Observatory's thousand-year-old tradition..." 6

In his primordial spirit state, the semi-transparent Zhongguan's face was resolute.

"Countless predecessors have been virtuous and wise; we have received the sect's grace and kindness, and we must not allow the sect to be destroyed by our own hands."

A hundred years ago, Zhongguan Zheng was just a child from a rural village. His master recognized his talent and brought him to the Imperial Observatory for cultivation guidance. Now, he is a rare and highly accomplished cultivator.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Imperial Observatory gave the eunuch official a second life.

Zhongguanzheng looked up at Qiuguanzheng and Xiaguanzheng, who were still resisting the three Yama Laws above their heads.

"Grand Supervisor, you must now go and join forces with Xia Ran and Wei Mingming, old Taoist..."

The official was flying towards the approaching Qing Shou Teng, Ying Zhao, and Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan, who was hidden in the void, saw Zhongguan Zheng's primordial spirit and flew to its side without saying a word, filling the spirit with his poison.

Zhongguan Zheng's primordial spirit rapidly expanded, and slight traces of its dissipation began to appear.

However, Zhongguan Zheng ignored the deadly poison spreading within his primordial spirit and went to the Green Guardian Vine, where he blasted apart his primordial spirit, which he had cultivated for 150 years.

A sun appeared in the sky.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Doing Everything

In the real world, for most practical reasons, it's unlikely that there would be any instances of "never abandoning, never giving up," where the protagonist sees their teammate being dragged along by another teammate while they are covering the rear, and then reaches out to the suicidal teammate shouting, "No, no, no, we definitely have a better way."

Seeing that Zhongguan Zheng had self-destructed his primordial spirit, Dajian Zheng didn't even say a word. He took his own Chunguan Zheng and flew into the air. As they flew away, he moved the measuring ruler in his hand, and stars jumped down from the bright sky.

Qiu Guanzheng, who was fighting against the three Kings of Hell in the sky, immediately became serious. Then, the magic weapon in his hand—the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword—lit up one by one, and behind him, a semi-transparent image of the Big Dipper Star Lord was revealed.

The Grand Eunuch was using the Measuring Ruler to forcibly pull the light of the Big Dipper from beyond the heavens, while Qiu Guan, who possessed the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword, caught the power of the Big Dipper, causing the power of the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword to surge.

9 On the other side, Xia Guanzheng took a deep breath and raised the jade ruyi in his hand. The jade ruyi quickly expanded, and the six stars of the Southern Dipper were reflected on its body. Behind Xia Guanzheng, an old man with a white beard reaching his chest and a kind face was revealed.

The Four Directions are the Southern Dipper Star Lord.

As the Big Dipper governs death, Qiu Guan, wielding the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword, faces three Yama Kings. He brandishes his immortal sword, and deathly aura permeates the air.

The Southern Dipper governs life. From behind Xia Guanzheng, the Dharma image of the Southern Dipper Star Lord shot out beams of starlight, which landed on the Grand Supervisor, the Spring Supervisor, and the Autumn Supervisor who was fighting against the three Yama Kings.

As the starlight entered their bodies, the three high-ranking officials of the Imperial Observatory immediately felt their true essence surge and their magical power greatly increase. Even Qiu Guanzheng, who had been severely injured by the Green Guardian Vine, saw his injuries improve significantly.

As the Grand Supervisor approached Qiu Guanzheng and Xia Guanzheng, he silently waved his hand. The space within the Measuring Ruler overlapped, time slowed down, and the three Yama Kings were immediately subjected to great suppression.

The Maoshan Sect's leader and Supreme Elder, who were already suppressed by the two powerful figures, are now further weakened by the arrival of the Grand Supervisor Zheng Yi, making it impossible for them to continue fighting.

Unable to win a private fight, the three Yama Kings each enveloped themselves in deathly aura and plummeted toward the ground.

Just as Adam Cheng was about to give chase, the Grand Eunuch who had come up to join him called him back.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy!"

The Xia official's face was distorted after the buff was applied.

“Zhongguan Zheng…”

The chief eunuch gritted his teeth and said.

"Once the old Taoist priest can free up his hands, he will wipe out the Maoshan Sect!"

The Grand Supervisor had no idea what the Maoshan Sect had done to warrant an ambush, but since the Maoshan Sect had become so unscrupulous, he didn't need to give this thousand-year-old sect any face.

Waiting to return to the Imperial Observatory, waiting to rely on the imperial aura of the capital to force back the divine beasts like Yingzhao, the Grand Supervisor will lead the entire Imperial Observatory to wipe out the Maoshan Sect.

Not one left!

If you do the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth!

"go!"

The Grand Eunuch was waving towards the capital and preparing to fly back, but before he could even set off, extremely dense yin energy came from all directions.

It was early morning, and the sun was high in the sky, but under this gloomy atmosphere, thick clouds from who-knows-where covered the entire sky.

The sun is nowhere to be seen, as if night has fallen.

on the ground.

Zhou Yan stood in front of an altar that had been set up long ago.

Beside Zhou Yan, a kind-looking old Taoist priest clasped his hands in greeting.

"Please, angels, cast your spell."

The rest of the cabinet members of the Great Meng Dynasty, the high-ranking officials of the six ministries, and the second-in-command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard whispered among themselves as they looked at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan threw the token given to him by the Emperor of Fengdu into the altar.

The other two elders of the Maoshan sect made a gesture of sincere devotion and then began chanting.

Ba was "located in the Northern Prefecture, and his official post was in Youdu".

He was in charge of judging life and death, rewarding the good and punishing the evil without exception; he was in charge of merits and demerits, punishing the wicked and praising the good without bias.

A cold wind blew in, and a thick, eerie aura enveloped the entire mountain.

"The dark mountains and rivers of Zhenbei are transformed into a bright world in the center. Its magnificent merits make even ghosts and gods gladly submit; its awe-inspiring power brings blessings to all people."

Before the altar, the thick, eerie wind transformed into wisps of black.

Ling is "the god of destiny and fortune, who judges life and death. All ten palaces are devoted to him, and all six caves bow in submission."

A monster with a bull's head and a human body emerged from the eerie wind, its pupils shrinking after glancing at the token of the Fengdu Emperor on the altar.

The Minotaur-like monster immediately knelt down.

Then came a monster with a human body and a horse's face.

"Great compassion and great vows, great holiness and great mercy."

Next up is the long-tongued hanged ghost who wears the hat of "Peace Under Heaven, Fortune at First Sight."

Then emerged from the yin wind: a naked-chested, red-haired, fanged ghost king holding a demon-suppressing bell, a day and night wandering god, with fish gills, a leopard tail, and a bird beak. These yin generals originally had fierce faces and their bodies were filled with surging yin energy. They looked at the mortals who had summoned them with hostility.

However, when these underworld generals saw the token of the Underworld Emperor on the incense table, they knelt down without saying a word.

"In the northern Yin Fengdu of the Underworld, there is the Great Emperor Xuanqing, the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Netherworlds who exorcises sins."

The two elders of the Maoshan Sect stopped talking and then looked at the ten Yin Marshals who had come out of the Yin Wind and knelt down.

Half a month ago, Zhou Yan found the Maoshan Sect, which inherited a part of the Taoist lineage of the Fengdu Emperor, and took out the Fengdu Emperor's token. He said that the current Imperial Observatory was not doing human things and was using living people as medicinal materials to make elixirs. The Fengdu Emperor was displeased and sent him to the human world to eliminate demons and evil.

After checking Zhou Yan's token and confirming its authenticity, the entire Maoshan Sect mobilized to cooperate with Zhou Yan in personally eliminating the evil heretics.

Three beams of light descended from the sky, revealing the sect leader and two elders of the Maoshan Sect who had just fought against Qiu Guanzheng and Xia Guanzheng.

The sect leader, the old Taoist Baopu, stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have held off the Xia and Qiu officials."

Zhou Yan nodded, then walked to the altar, picked up the token of the Fengdu Emperor, and raised it.

Do you know what this is?

The ten kneeling Yin generals shouted in unison.

"Your humble servant/lowly beast/little devil/this lowly general pays respects to the Emperor of the Underworld!"

The Yin General was not bowing to Zhou Yan, but to the token, and therefore he was shouting that he was paying homage to the Yin Emperor.

Zhou Yan raised the token high.

"By order of the King of the Underworld, the five officials of the Imperial Observatory in Heaven, especially the Grand Observer, who has committed numerous evils, shall be executed without mercy!"

The Ten Yin Generals shouted.

"promise!"

……

High in the air.

Just as the prison warden was preparing to escape, a wisp of yin energy flashed past, and a long-tongued hanged ghost dressed in white struck down a mourning stick right in front of him.

Just as the Grand Eunuch had dodged, the Autumn and Summer Officials behind him exclaimed in disbelief.

"The Yin General?!"

"The Ten Great Yin Marshals!"

Behind the Grand Supervisor, the Yin General Ox-Head charged forward, brandishing his steel fork. The fork froze space and time, and spread Yin energy—a typical power of the Vanga Asura.

On the other side, the horse-faced demon brandished his soul-binding chains and threw them at Xia Guanzheng.

This Soul-Binding Lock holds countless souls, its Yin energy deep and heavy. Even before it was thrown in front of him, Xia Guanzheng felt a chill run through his body, as if even his soul had been frozen.

Then, the day and night guardian spirits each unleashed their great magic, one judging evil, the other bewitching. 9

Then there was the Ghost King, a minor leader among the ghost soldiers, who, along with his leopard tail, bird beak, and fish gills, each manifested their own Dharma forms and simultaneously threw their fists at the three officials and one Grand Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory.

The usually composed Grand Eunuch was dodging another attack from the Bull-Headed Demon, but when he saw the fists of the four Yin Generals—Ghost King, Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, and Fish Gill—falling down, he couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.

Even one of these Yin Generals would be enough to give them a hard time, but now ten have arrived!

Ten in total!

Below is the ancient mythical beast Yingzhao!

The chief eunuch couldn't help but think about what Zhou Yan had said earlier, wondering if he had truly committed countless evil deeds and that even Heaven was punishing him.

But that won't do.

How can this be?

This world is full of corrupt officials who exploit the people, and many powerful outlaws who rule with impunity, killing and arson for riches. He himself merely uses a few lowly girls as ingredients in his medicine concoction. (Zhong)

Why is it that those who have committed so many murders and evil deeds are still enjoying their wealth, while I only did something insignificant, yet God has taken notice of me?

And wasn't this whole thing started by that emperor?

Why……

The summer official and the autumn official suddenly sighed in unison.

The two of them spoke.

"The only hardship throughout history is death."

"Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death?"

Two top-tier cultivators from the mortal realm flew towards the Ten Great Yin Marshals. As they approached, without even waiting for the Ten Great Yin Marshals to attack, they simultaneously unleashed their Dharma bodies and primordial spirits.

Following the sun created by Zhongguan Zheng's self-destruction, two brand-new suns exploded in mid-air.

The Grand Eunuch watched his two subordinates commit suicide with a blank expression. After a brief moment of grief, the Grand Eunuch grabbed the seriously injured Minister of Spring, Zhao Wuji, who was standing beside him.

"Walk……"

Not wanting to waste the opportunity brought by the self-destruction of his two own officials, the Grand Supervisor seized the chance to escape from the encirclement of the Ten Great Yin Marshals and recklessly led the Spring Official back to the capital.

That place is shrouded in the aura of an emperor; he simply doesn't believe these Yin Generals and divine beasts would dare to run rampant in the capital...

The Grand Eunuch felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw Gin, or rather, the Spring Official's sorrowful and pained expression.

And, the immortal sword in Chun Guan's hand that had pierced his chest.

The chief eunuch looked at the official in charge of spring with regret.

He knew that something unexpected had happened during this mission to kill the evil dragon, and he also knew that it was Chun Guanzheng's false information that had led to the deaths and injuries of his men.

But seeing the scene of Yingzhao and the Ten Yin Marshals appearing, he didn't think that all of this was brought about by Chun Guanzheng. He only felt that Chun Guanzheng had also been deceived and then brought his own people to be ambushed.

However, some precautions were still taken. Chun Guan had been missing for three months before.

Just like in the story, the childhood sweetheart who had a good relationship with the victim was taken on a month-long trip by a group of blond-haired thugs. Everyone knows what kind of person she became when she came back.

The Grand Eunuch drew the immortal sword from his chest and silently looked at the Spring Official beside him.

The official was choking back tears.

“That guy, that guy promised that if I kill you, I can leave behind the last bit of the Imperial Observatory’s legacy.”

Previously in the capital, after Zhou Yan met with Chun Guanzheng, he took out the Yin Emperor's token and took Chun Guanzheng to see Ying Zhao.
