Chapter 704: Chapter 462: Top 10 Imperial Guardians! _2
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Even the Heavenly Emperor seems to be extremely wary of the “heavenly power.”
The Heavenly Emperor seemed unwilling to talk more about this matter, and got up to leave, using “going to the court” as an excuse.
After he left, Xu Yang swept through the Taiwei Yuqing Palace again, and caught all ten of the “fairy of flowers” who had slipped through the net into the Earth Emperor’s Book, before leaving.
After leaving the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, Xu Jingyang sent Xu Yang all the way to the outside of the South Heaven Gate.
…
March 22, 2024, Lunar February 10th.
At 10 o’clock in the morning, Xu Yang returned from the Heavenly Court.
As soon as he arrived back in Wu City, Niu Mang sensed him and greeted him hastily, saying, “Sir, it’s not good… The gods from the underworld and the gods from heaven are about to fight.”
“Impossible!”
Xu Yang’s first reaction was disbelief, saying, “Everybody had just dined together yesterday, how can they fight… Moreover, the fifteen Golden Immortals from the underworld are all humble individuals, how can they cause trouble?”
“It’s not that they’ve already started fighting, but they’re about to… Anyway, sir, you should go and take a look first.”
Xu Yang found them at the central square of Wu City.
Fifteen Golden Immortals from the underworld, led by “Peng Dage,” were jumping several feet high, chattering like machine guns, constantly outputting towards the seventy-two celestial beings from the sky.
Although there were many more “demoted mortal” celestial beings in number.
But just in terms of arguing, they were no match for the fifteen from the underworld… At this moment, they were all silenced, with only Shunfeng Er standing in the front, hands on hips, constantly cursing.
Qianli Yan was doing his duty as a “translator,” sneering, “Shunfeng Er said, don’t mess around here… The battle six hundred years ago was not because our Heavenly Court was unwilling to intervene, but because the heavenly power did not allow it!”
“If the heavenly power allowed, our Heavenly Court would have leveled the netherworld in a matter of minutes!”
Peng Dage sneered, “Since the heavenly power didn’t allow, why are you in the mortal realm now?”
“This…”
Qianli Yan was speechless, and he looked at Shunfeng Er, who also fell silent.
Peng Dage continued, “What heavenly power doesn’t allow, in my opinion, is just an excuse for your cowardice… If you all committed suicide back then, your souls would have entered the underworld and naturally complied with the rules of the heavenly power… How could the heavenly power not allow it?”
“We are celestial beings, immortal in nature. How can we commit suicide unless our true spirits are destroyed?”
Xu Yang listened carefully.
The reason for the quarrel between the two sides seemed to be about the battle back then.
The underworld blamed the Heavenly Court for not supporting them.
Otherwise, they could have wiped out the netherworld back then.
He stepped forward and said, “Everyone… We are all on the same front now, about to march into hell. There is no need to damage our harmony over past issues.”
The fifteen Golden Immortals from the underworld immediately became very obedient when they saw Xu Yang, like mice seeing a cat.
The seventy-two celestial beings from the Heavenly Court also respected Jiang He.
Fairy Baihua came at the right time and asked, “Celestial Master Xu, how was your harvest on this trip to the Heavenly Court?”
“Not bad.”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Within three days, I will be able to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.”
Fairy Baihua continued, “In that case, we’ll wait for three days.”
“No need.”
Xu Yang shook his head and said, “No one knows the situation in hell. If we hesitate, things may change. Let’s set off today and head for hell… By the way, where is Marshal Meng?”
“Celestial Master Xu, Meng Dage went to Ghost Market.”
“Peng Dage” stepped forward and replied.
“Huh?”
Xu Yang was surprised and asked, “What is he doing in the Ghost Market?”
“Peng Dage” shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
“Oh, right.”
Xu Yang took out the Earth Emperor’s Book, released the flower fairies from the pages, and there were a total of 68. When these flower fairies saw Fairy Baihua, they immediately rushed over, flying around her, accusing Xu Yang of his crimes.
Xu Yang spread his hands, looking helpless, and said, “Heaven and earth can prove… When I went to Taiwei Yuqing Palace this time, I didn’t scare them. It was the Heavenly Emperor who bestowed them upon me.”
Fairy Baihua didn’t quite understand the meaning of the Heavenly Emperor. She thought for a moment and then said, “Hell has been polluted by the power of the netherworld, and it’s not suitable for the flower fairies… Since the Heavenly Emperor has bestowed these flower fairies upon you, you’ll be responsible for their arrangements.”
Xu Yang took the flower fairies home, called his women, and said, “This journey is full of dangers and uncertainty. You don’t have to go… These flower fairies will be taken care of by you. You may practice with the Supernatural Affairs Bureau and let them send some spiritual plants. Each of these fairies is an expert in nurturing spiritual plants and flowers.”
His women were unwilling and wanted to follow Xu Yang to hell.
In the end, Xu Yang only took Yue Yuluo and Yun Mengxi with him.
The reason for bringing them along was that Yue Yuluo currently had the strongest power among the women, and also possessed the acquired spiritual treasure, Wu Earth Pearl, giving her a certain degree of self-protection.
As for Yun Mengxi, she was a zombie-turned-immortal. Continuous bitter cultivation had limited improvement for her. By going to hell, she could improve herself by killing continuously!
Moreover, zombies inherently possess the characteristic of “undying.”
After becoming immortal, this “feature” of hers has become even more incredible. Even if she was beaten to the point where only one fingertip remained, she could still recover!
She had just finished arranging her home when Meng Mingshan arrived.
“Master Xu… I have a request.”
“Please, speak.”
“On this journey to Hell… I’d like to ask Master Xu for the help of nine experts.”
“Uh…”
Xu Yang was stunned, asking in amazement, “Who are you referring to?”
He couldn’t remember for a moment… Who among his men could be considered experts by Meng Mingshan?
Meng Mingshan said, “I would like to take the nine Ghost Immortals who manage the nine Ghost Markets.”
“???”
Xu Yang, puzzled, asked, “Why?”
Not concealing the truth, Meng Mingshan stated, “These nine Ghost Immortals are like brothers to me. However, there might have been some issues with their reincarnation. Perhaps, this trip to the Western Hell will be the opportunity for them to awake.”
Whoosh!
Xu Yang suddenly stood up, astonished, “You mean… Those nine are also experts who once served under Emperor Dongyue, just like you?”
Having revealed so much already, how could Xu Yang not understand?
Empress Dongyue’s Ten Grand Guardians…
Nine Ghost Immortals, plus Meng Mingshan, makes exactly ten!
“Take them all with you!”
Xu Yang laughed, “If they can regain their memories, their strength must be restored. With the power of these nine formidable Da Luo, it will be easy to sweep through the Western Hell!”
Since the nine Ghost Immortals are to be taken along,
The management of the nine Ghost Markets will temporarily be left to Yue Qiluo and the others.
Xu Yang then informed Grandmaster Chengming, and they agreed to meet in the Holy City deep within the Qinling Mountains.
Around three o’clock in the afternoon,
Many experts gathered in the Holy City.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang, dressed in a black dragon robe, summoned numerous heroic spirit generals of the Qin soldiers, saying, “Generals…you have been following me to become heroic spirits guarding the Holy City for over 2,000 years.”
“I know you have been yearning for a battle.”
“Now… the time has come!”
Admittedly,
Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s ability to inspire was great.
After this speech, the heroic spirit generals were roaring excitedly, and from all around the Holy City, the roars of the Qin soldier heroic spirits continued like a tidal wave.
They were former Qin soldiers.
As the most powerful warriors in the world, they have been trapped in the Holy City for more than 2,000 years. Naturally, they were excited to finally be able to fight.
“Send the order down!”
“Depart with the army!”
“Drive the Holy City…into Hell!”
Within the Holy City, numerous formations were activated.
Boom!
The immense Holy City lifted into the air, heading straight for the west.
Just half an hour later, the Holy City arrived above Vatican City.
Now, Vatican City was being rebuilt. Cassidy Rutherford had gathered a group of earth elemental mages, and with the help of werewolf experts, they were building the city in cooperation with the Dark Gods Alliance.
Even…
They had planned 100 kilometers around Vatican City per Xu Yang’s request.
“Master Xu!”
The Dark Gods Alliance leader arrived quickly. As she saw the Holy City and sensed the heart-palpitating energy within, she became even more respectful.
Xu Yang patted the Dark Gods Alliance leader on the shoulder and said lightly, “You’ve done well. Keep it up.”
The Dark Gods Alliance leader asked, “Master Xu, what is this…?”
“If you shouldn’t inquire about it, don’t.”
Xu Yang said calmly, then in front of the Dark Gods Alliance leader, he used a secret method to open the “Gate of Hell.”
Whoosh!
The Holy City blinked and entered the “Gate of Hell”!
