Chapter 699: Chapter 460: Take the Initiative, Strike into Hell!
“This…”
Xu Yang was somewhat incredulous, and asked, “Marshal Meng, is this really true?”
Meng Mingshan had already awakened his past memories.
As one of the Ten Grand Guardians under Emperor Dongyue, he was an absolute high-ranking and powerful figure in the Underworld Palace. He once supervised the eighteen layers of hell and held great power!
Now that he has returned, although Xu Yang doesn’t know if he has “resumed his position,” it is evident from the fact that he has recruited more than a dozen “Golden Immortal” level experts in just a few months that he has done well in the Underworld Palace!
More than six hundred years ago, the Ten Grand Guardians had followed Emperor Dongyue deep into the netherworld, leaving a trail of bones in their wake.
Emperor Dongyue, having been contaminated by the “netherworld filth,” abandoned his body and entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Meng Mingshan and the other nine “Grand Guardians” also entered the cycles of reincarnation.
Six hundred years.
He had been through many lives.
To him, the time he spent at Dai Temple and Wanshou Palace was just a small part of his long memories.
At least that’s what Xu Yang thought.
So when Meng Mingshan took the initiative to come and propose to go to the Earth’s ancestral homeland to help resist the vast army of undead slumbering from hell, it was a surprise to Xu Yang.
Meng Mingshan nodded solemnly.
Deep in his heart, he had a reason why he must go.
His boss and his nine brothers were all now in the Earth’s ancestral homeland!
Xu Yang looked at the tens of Golden Immortals behind Meng Mingshan, and asked, “What about them?”
Swipe!
Fifteen Golden Immortals, feeling Xu Yang’s gaze, knelt down on one knee in unison, shouting loudly, “Pay respects to…”
Their voices suddenly stopped.
Xu Yang: “???”
He did not know that these fifteen Golden Immortals were once the war generals under Emperor Dongyue’s command.
And the fifteen Golden Immortals, having received Meng Mingshan’s secret message, stopped in the middle of their speech, paused for 2 seconds, and under Meng Mingshan’s secret “direction,” the fifteen Golden Immortals spoke again uniformly, “Pay respects to Celestial Master Xu.”
Xu Yang was both bewildered and flattered. He hurriedly stepped forward to help the fifteen Golden Immortals up, saying, “Senior sirs, please don’t act like this… I am just a young Earthly Celestial Master. How can I deserve such a grand salute from immortal beings like you?”
The head Golden Immortal, a big man with obvious monster scales on his face, glanced at Meng Mingshan and laughed, “Celestial Master Xu is the Heavenly Master of the Jingming Sect in the ancestral homeland, and the sect leader of Wanshou Palace. Our Brother Meng once studied under Wanshou Palace and is considered a disciple of Wanshou Palace, which makes him your junior, Master Xu. It is only natural for us to pay respects to you.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“Exactly, what Brother Peng said is very true!”
“I couldn’t have thought of such an excuse either. Brother Peng is so clever!”
The other fourteen Golden Immortals chimed in.
Xu Yang: “???”
Meng Mingshan came over and said, “Celestial Master Xu, these fifteen brothers of mine were all elite fighters under the command of the emperor back then. Each one of them is highly skilled. They also want to go to the Earth to protect the ancestral homeland with me. Please take us with you!”
“Celestial Master Xu, please take us with you!”
“The ancestral homeland is the birthplace of the emperor. How can we tolerate the filthy meddling of those from the Western hells?”
The man who was called “Brother Peng,” along with the other Golden Immortals, also spoke up.
Xu Yang’s face turned solemn as he said seriously, “If you all follow me to the Earth, you must obey me in all matters. And this trip to Earth is fraught with danger, and there is a possibility of falling at any time.”
Brother Peng patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Celestial Master Xu. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west. Even if you tell me to eat shit, I won’t even frown!”
A Golden Immortal sneered, “In life, everyone will eventually die. Some are as light as a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai… It is an honor and pride for us to die in order to protect the ancestral homeland!”
Bang!
The moment this Golden Immortal finished speaking, he was immediately punched down by the Golden Immortal behind him. The attacker glared angrily at him and roared, “How dare you! You’re not even heavier than Mount Tai… Mount Tai is the birthplace of the emperor. Are you saying you’re stronger than the emperor?”
“I…”
The fallen Golden Immortal looked aggrieved and said, “This phrase is a saying from Earth. I heard it from a ghost… I just wanted to use it to express my stance. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Xu Yang’s mood had lightened considerably due to the lively atmosphere among these experts, and he immediately laughed and agreed.
He invited Meng Mingshan and the fifteen Golden Immortals into his mansion.
Then he contacted Xie Xun, asking him to find a restaurant to send over some good wine and food.
Everyone drank and bragged in the mansion for three days and nights.
One day, a strange wave of power suddenly radiated from within the mansion.
Xu Yang turned to look and saw that in Yue Yuluo’s closed-door cultivation room, a burst of yellow light shone brightly before quickly receding.
In a moment.
Yue Yuluo came out of the room.
Her breath had actually broken through directly to the peak of the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm. The rules of Immortal Daoist in her body had surged to more than 90,000, and she was not too far from breaking through to the late stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.
“Madam, have you finished your closed-door cultivation?”
Xu Yang asked.
Yue Yuluo secretly reported the situation of her refining of the Wu Earth Pearl to Xu Yang, and then looked at Meng Mingshan and the fifteen Golden Immortals with surprise. “Husband… who are these seniors?”
She didn’t recognize Meng Mingshan.
However, Yue Yuluo was now at least a powerful expert who had condensed more than 90,000 Immortal Daoist rules. Even if she couldn’t see through Meng Mingshan and the group of Golden Immortals, she could still feel the unfathomably deep aura on them!
Xu Yang was just about to introduce them when Meng Mingshan suddenly stood up and said quickly, “I dare not… I dare not, Madam. We are not seniors but juniors. I used to study at Wanshou Palace and am a disciple of Celestial Master Xu.”
