The newcomer looked to be in his thirties. He had a round face and a kind smile on his face.
He wore white clothes and hemp shoes with a long saber at his waist. He had short hair that was rarely seen in the mortal world.
He smiled and greeted Gao Nanzhai and Master Shan Kong. "Mister Gao, Master Shan Kong, long time no see. How have you been?"
Master Shan Kong put his palms together and said Slowly, "Mister Yun Yan, long time no see."
Gao Nanzhai did not greet the newcomer but turned to look coldly at the Southern Chu general.
Hua Longtao's expression was normal. "Although Fusang Island participated in the battle between your sect and the Blood River Faction, Mister Yun Yan was not included. He left Fusang Island to come here for the matter of the Divine Land."
Gao Nanzhai snorted.
The battle between the righteous and demonic factions was intense.
The Milky Way Faction was the main force of the righteous faction. Together with Western Paradise and the other factions, they fought against the demonic faction of the Blood River Faction.
The helpers of the Blood River Faction were from Fusang Island.
Like the Milky Way and the Blood River Faction, Fusang Island was also a holy land in the mortal world.
However, opposing the Milky Way Faction, Western Paradise, and Green Bull Temple was a holy land of the Demonic Path along with the Blood River Faction, the Sea of Bitterness, and the Ancient God.
The master of Fusang Island, along with Mad Emperor Bie Donglai, the Blood River Faction, the Sea of Bitterness, and the Hierarch of the Ancient God, were ranked among the top ten experts of the Demonic Path in the mortal world.
The master of Fusang Island was said to be in seclusion, but there were many experts from Fusang Island who stood on the same side as the Blood River Faction. They were locked in a fierce battle with the Milky Way and the other righteous factions.
Gao Nanzhai had just retreated from the frontlines and was naturally sensitive when he saw the people from Fusang Island.
The round-faced youth in front of him was called Tian Yun Yan. He was the peak Emperor Wu of Fusang Island's direct lineage. He was a peak expert of the fifteenth realm and had learned all of Fusang Island's secret techniques.
Fusang Island and the Blood River Faction had similar rules, but they were different in the mortal world. or rather, they were strange.
In the Blood River Faction, anyone who stepped into the realm of Emperor Wu would change their surname to Xue.
The Fusang Island lineage was even more extreme. Anyone who entered the sect would change their surname to Tian.
Gao Nanzhai did not know what Tian Yunyan's original name was, but when he saw this direct disciple of Fu Sang Island, it was hard for him to be in a good mood.
Although, as Hua Longtao had said, the other party had not participated in the battle, the Righteous and Demonic Paths had always been enemies.
Without the current battle, the relationship between the Tianhe lineage and the Fusang Island lineage was just as bad, and there were frequent conflicts.
Previously, when Yang Xuan and the others were traveling with Blood Gu Village and Demon Monk Konglu, it could still be said that the great war in the mortal world had not yet broken out.
But now, everyone was in the middle of a fierce battle. Whenever Gao Nanzhai saw Tian Yunyan, he would have the urge to draw his sword and fight.
"Mr. Gao, please calm down." Southern Chu's Divine Martial General Hua Longtao said, "At present, we all have a common enemy, and this enemy is truly extraordinary. As early as when that Chen Luoyang was in the fourteenth realm, he already displayed extraordinary strength. He didn't fall even when surrounded by so many people. We can't be careless. "
Gao Nanzhai looked at Tian Yunyan. "That was because at that time, the dregs of the Blood River turned against us and betrayed us at the last moment. That gave that demon with the surname Chen a chance, causing the three masters of Western Paradise to be killed."
Hearing this, Master Shan Kong softly chanted the name of Buddha.
Gao Nanzhai turned to look at Hua Longtao. "Previously, he hid on Fu Sang Island and didn't come out. This time, he suddenly jumped out of his own accord. This is already abnormal. How do we know that the person he really wants to help isn't that demon with the surname Chen?"
"Mr. Gao's suspicions are too heavy." Tian Yunyan smiled and said, "You people on the continent have a saying: don't resort to insinuations in front of an honest person, and don't lie in front of a true person. This time, I suddenly came ashore from the east and want to go with you to the Divine Land because I'm interested in that rare treasure that can evolve into the Earth Hades. But without Master Shan Kong's Earth Treasury Wheel, going to that Divine Land by myself is tantamount to sending myself to death. That's why I came to seek an alliance."
Gao Nanzhai said coldly, "There's no difference if the rare treasure falls into the hands of an overseas evil demon like you or that demon with the surname Chen."
Tian Yunyan's expression did not change. "First, Mr. Yang and Mr. Yu did not die under my saber.
Second, I yearn for this treasure not to fight an enemy, but to help me further comprehend saber techniques. "
Master Shan Kong was deep in thought.
Fu Sang Island's saber techniques had three branches.
Great Sun Golden Crow.
Boundless Azure Sea.
Samsara of Life and Death.
The last branch had some similarities with Buddhism, but it was also completely different.
He had never heard of Tian Yunyan dabbling in the saber techniques of the Samsara of Life and Death.
Now that he had changed, was he preparing to break through to the sixteenth level …
Southern Chu's Divine Martial General Hua Longtao said at this moment, "Mr. Yunyan, I've said before that only those who can kill that Chen Luoyang have the right to talk about the treasure.
If you have any objections, I still hope that you can help us. My imperial court will prepare another gift to thank you. "
"General Hua, your suggestion is very fair. I have no objections." Tian Yunyan smiled. "I don't intend to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Mr. Gao does not need to be on guard against me."
The smile on his round face deepened. "I will personally behead Chen Luoyang. It is a supreme honor to be able to kill such an expert."
Hua Longtao looked at Gao Nanzhai. "If Mr. Gao is worried, Mr. Yunyan and I will be the vanguard. Mr. Gao, please help us hold the line. We can also guard against any reinforcements that Chen Luoyang might contact."
Gao Nanzhai said, "You do not need to provoke me. I will not fall behind when facing experts. But this demon is no different from that demon with the surname Chen in my eyes."
Tian Yunyan smiled. "After returning from the Divine Land, I am willing to seek guidance from Mr. Gao."
Gao Nanzhai only stared coldly at him and did not speak.
"Their lineup is slightly thin, but our imperial court has already launched a counterattack against the Ancient God. They should not be able to care about the mortal world for now. As long as we work together, that demon with the surname Chen will not be able to overturn the heavens." Hua Longtao said, "Just in case, I will also set up a trap that will at least guarantee our path of retreat."
Gao Nanzhai said, "Quality is valued over quantity. If the other is prepared, realm fourteen or fifteen who are not of direct lineage will not be able to go down. The four of us will act as scouts. If there is a need, I will trouble General Hua to contact reinforcements."
Hua Longtao answered, "Of course."
Gao Nanzhai looked at Master Shan Kong. "If Master has no problems, let us move."
The grey-robed old monk at the side nodded. "This old monk has no problems."
Hua Longtao and Tian Yunyan nodded.
The four of them headed toward the void door that led to the East Sea of the Divine Land.
The void door was in the territory of the blood river.
But at this moment, everyone seemed to have reached some sort of tacit understanding and temporarily moved aside.
Thus, the four peak Emperor Wu experts passed through the void door and descended into the mortal world, arriving at the Divine Land.
Just as they exited the void crack, their vision immediately darkened.
It was pitch black and silent, as if they had been buried underground.
Everyone was already mentally prepared for this.
Gao Nanzhai, Tian Yunyan, and Master Shan Kong were all at realm fifteen, the rudiment realm. They were peak Emperor Wu's direct lineage.
Although Hua Longtao was not a member of the Southern Chu royal family and had never cultivated the Book of Glory, the supreme art he cultivated was another secret supreme art that Southern Chu had collected. Its power was shocking and not much inferior to the Book of Glory. But because it was too difficult to cultivate, no one had successfully cultivated it for hundreds of years, so it had always been shelved.
When Hua Longtao joined Southern Chu, he received this supreme art as a reward. His talent was extraordinary, and he successfully cultivated it, finally allowing this supreme art to reappear in the world.
The overly difficult and painful cultivation method caused the evaluation of this supreme art to drop by half a grade.
But purely in terms of actual combat power, it was not an exaggeration to say that Hua Longtao was equivalent to a direct disciple of the same realm.
The four of them were in this dark underground world, and the suppression they suffered was not as obvious as the direct disciples of the fourteenth realm or the non-direct disciples of the fifteenth realm.
However, based on their understanding of the "Hou Tu" move of the Ancient God's Divine Martial Demon Fist, they could make a reasonable guess. Martial artists who cultivated the blood of gods and demons, as the masters of this place, would likely receive the power of this dark world when they used the "Hou Tu" move.
Chen Luoyang's "Hou Tu" in this place was likely to far exceed his normal level.
Thus, Li Yanjing, Cheng Qiyuan, and Yang Xuan, the three direct disciples of the fifteenth realm, had failed.
If they did not solve this problem, the four of them would only end up the same.
Master Shan Kong put his palms together, and the true meaning of Ksitigarbha emanated from his body and spread in all directions.
Under its influence, the surrounding area seemed to become his paradise, under his control.
Master Shan Kong continued to chant sutras. Then, in this paradise, a treasured wheel slowly rose.
As the treasure wheel spun, many black streams of light could be faintly seen extending outwards.
Every stream of light seemed to be a sutra formed by jet-black words.
The chanting of Buddhist scriptures sounded, gradually becoming louder and louder until it filled the entire underground world.
Then, a wondrous scene gradually appeared in front of the four.
The darkness seemed to be dissipating.
They seemed to be able to see light again.
"This way." Master Shan Kong, who had been silent and seemed to be a yes-man, now took the lead and walked forward.
Although they were still in the underground world, and the earth dome above them had not been broken, the four of them felt like they were walking in a normal place.
Slowly, the mysterious and intelligent Ksitigarbha Wheel spun above Master Shan Kong's head.
It did not stop moving.
The true meaning of Earth Hades in this dark underground world seemed to have completely quietened down.
Very quickly, a stone hall appeared in front of the group, standing silently on the black ground.
Tian Yunyan nodded at the other three and entered the stone hall.
Hua Longtao, Master Shan Kong, and Gao Nanzhai followed behind him, paying attention to their surroundings as they entered the stone hall.
There was nothing else in the hall, except for a black-robed youth sitting on a tall stone chair. When his eyes opened and closed, a dark golden light flashed.
… Chen Luoyang!
The four of them thought at the same time.
Chen Luoyang sat with his head slightly tilted.
One of his elbows was placed on the armrest of the stone chair, and he propped his head up as he looked at the newcomers.
He looked at the Ksitigarbha Wheel, then at Master Shan Kong and the other three, and could not help but frown.
Hua Longtao said, "With the Ksitigarbha Wheel destroying your treasure, you do not have to think about getting lucky. It will all be futile …"
"No, wait." Chen Luoyang interrupted him, "I mean, you all …"
"… Just these few people?"
