At this moment, a light flashed from the top of the cave, and two figures descended. They were Bull Demon and Nie Caizhu.
"I went to Life Transforming Temple, Golden Mountain Temple, and several other large sects of the Central Plains. They were all destroyed by the Demons, and there was no one there. I tried to contact the disciples of Mount Putuo, but I couldn't get anything," Nie Caizhu said gloomily.
"It's the same on my side. The few demon cavern dwellings that were lucky enough to survive have all been destroyed. It seems like those demons really want to kill all the living beings in the Three Realms!" The Bull Demon King's face was also gloomy.
"This situation is expected. You don't have to be disappointed," Zhen Yuanzi said with a sigh.
"How's the situation on your side? Have you repaired the Mountain River Map and the Heavenly Book?" Nie Caizhu asked.
"The Mountain River Map has been repaired, but the Heavenly Book is still flawed. According to Zhen Yuan Daoyou, it needs … needs the blood sacrifice of the souls of powerful creatures. Only then can it be repaired," Shen Luo said after hesitating for a moment.
"Blood sacrifice!" Nie Caizhu's expression changed, and she blurted out. Then, she fell silent.
"You human cultivators are so troublesome. You're always so particular about the distinction between good and evil. You're always so restrained! Since the Heavenly Book needs the blood sacrifice of creatures, then we'll do it. In order to save the world, sacrificing some reputation is nothing. If you can't do it, then let me do it, "Bull Demon said with a snort.
"But …" Nie Caizhu said to stop him.
"Now is the key to the survival of the Three Realms. How can we be affected by these trivial matters? Zhen Yuanzi, is there a limit to the number of creatures we can sacrifice? Can we use those Demons? "Bull Demon waved his hand to interrupt Nie Caizhu and looked at Zhen Yuanzi.
"Yes." Zhen Yuanzi nodded.
"That's easy. There are countless Demons in Chang 'an City. We just need to catch a few more powerful ones in the upcoming war," the Bull Demon said with a smile.
"Leave this to me. The Stately Painting is in my hands. It's the most convenient way to capture people," Shen Luo said from the side.
He had also thought it through. Although the blood sacrifice method was vicious and went against his principles, he couldn't care less at this critical moment. What's more, the target of the blood sacrifice was the Demon Race. It could be said that they were giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Nie Caizhu's lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.
"Erlang Zhenjun is back. He has gained quite a lot." Zhen Yuanzi raised his head and looked up. He flicked his sleeve.
Yellow light flashed on the stone wall in front of him, and a passage leading to the surface automatically appeared.
A moment later, a large group of footsteps could be heard.
"Zhen Yuan Daoyou, Shen Daoyou, good news! I've found some helpers. "Yang Jian's excited voice could be heard as he walked in.
Beside him was a tall Celestial General with thick eyebrows and a broad nose. He had three eyes on his head, and one of them had a magical power. Several inches of white light flashed in it, and a pair of purple and green whips were at his waist. He looked majestic without being angry.
A group of silver-armored Celestial Soldiers followed behind the two of them. There were about four to five hundred of them.
After the group of people entered, the passage on the ground flashed with a yellow light and closed automatically.
"Hey, it's you!" Shen Luo looked at the Three-eyed Celestial General.
This person was none other than the Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder God Puhua Tianzun who defeated him in one blow in the Heavenly Book Dimension arena.
Shen Luo could now clearly sense the strength of this person. He was in the Late-stage of Taiyi.
Puhua Tianzun looked at Shen Luo and said with a faint smile, "Hehe, it's you, the kid who was sent flying by my whip last time. Your cultivation has improved very quickly."
"It's an honor for you to recognize me." Shen Luo was not angry. He cupped his hands and bowed.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet again today." Zhen Yuanzi also walked forward.
"Zhen Yuan Daoyou, I've heard about your situation from Erlang Zhenjun. When the Demonic Tribulation descended, you chose to fight back, unlike me, who was content to stay in a corner. I'm really ashamed." Puhua Tianzun looked a little ashamed.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, please don't say that. It's already commendable that you can preserve these forces for the Celestial Court." Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly said.
"Zhen Yuan Daoyou, I feel a little better now that you've said that. By the way, I've been in contact with Otokugawa. He's currently with some demons. I've already told him about the counterattack against Chi You. He should be here soon with his people, "Puhua Tianzun said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo finally remembered Otokugawa and the others. He had actually forgotten that the remaining forces of Mount Huaguo were not weak. Fortunately, Puhua Tianzun was able to contact them.
"That's great. With Otokugawa and the others joining us, our chances of winning are much higher." Zhen Yuanzi said happily. Then, he flicked his sleeve.
A group of Heavenly Soldiers, Buddhas, and demons appeared in the Heavenly Book Dimension. They almost filled up the entire cave.
The remaining forces of the Three Realms were all here. Some familiar people greeted each other, and the originally oppressive atmosphere was lifted.
"Everyone! The Demonic Calamity has descended, and countless living beings in the Three Realms have suffered. Now that Chi You is about to awaken, we must stop this! Otherwise, the Three Realms will have no hope! "Zhen Yuanzi said loudly after everyone calmed down.
"That's right!" Most people were not afraid. Instead, they were enthusiastic. Many of their eyes were bloodshot, as if they could not wait to attack Chang 'an immediately.
Ever since the Demonic Calamity descended, they had been hunted down by the Demons. They had been running and hiding, and they had accumulated endless anger in their hearts. Today, they could finally return it to the Demons.
However, there were also a few calm people who looked worried. Now that the Demons were at their peak, the Three Realms could be said to have fallen into their hands. The current forces of the crowd were no match for them at all.
"The Demons are powerful, and we are indeed inferior to them. However, the Heavens are watching over us. The Mountain and River Map that sealed Chi You and the Heavenly Book that suppressed the Celestial Court have both returned to our hands. Moreover, they have been repaired! With these two treasures in hand, we may have a chance of winning. "Zhen Yuanzi took out the Heavenly Book with a flip of his hand.
Brilliant golden light erupted from it, as if a golden sun was rising slowly. Everyone in the cave was bathed in golden light.
The warm golden light soothed the uneasiness in everyone's hearts and gave them endless courage.
Shen Luo also took out the Mountain and River Map and activated it. It emitted a white spiritual light that shot into the sky.
The aura of the Mountain and River Map was completely different from that of the Heavenly Book. It did not have the glorious feeling of the Heavenly Book. It was more like a bright moon in the sky.
Everyone cheered when they saw Er Bao.
"Zhen Yuan Daoyou, you are more familiar with the current situation than any of us. You can just give us orders on what to do. We will follow your orders!" Puhua Tianzun said with a look of surprise when he saw that the two treasures had been restored to their original state.
The others also nodded.
"Since everyone is so fond of me, I will not decline. Judging from the current situation, the gap between our strength and that of the Demons is still huge. We can't fight them head-on. We need to come up with a plan to have a chance of winning. I suggest that we divide our forces into two groups. One group will attack Chang 'an City and attract the attention of the Demons' army as much as possible. The other group will send a few people to sneak into Chang 'an City and find Chi You's hiding place. We will seal him with the Mountain and River Map! "Zhen Yuanzi said.
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Given the current situation, this was the only way.
