Yinshan Record

Chapter 300 The Affairs of Huang Tian, ​​The Divine Kingdom of the Vast Sea
"Why go to such lengths, Madam?"

Siksananda looked at Lady Snow on the other side.

This ghost cultivator wore a magnificent black cloak, adorned with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. He held a jade whisk made of ice silk in his hand, wore a purple-gold crown, and had a head of jet-black hair that cascaded down like snow. He possessed an ethereal beauty, but a hint of malevolence lingered in his eyes, indicating that he was in a bad mood.

No matter how strong Su Che was, he had not yet mastered the Elixir of Immortality, while Shiksha Nanda was so confident that he was already in an invincible position.

Madam Xue intervened forcefully, using her own divine kingdom of cultivation to capture Su Che, which angered Śikṣānanda.

Could it be that this ghost cultivator thinks he can be two-faced and is planning to take the opportunity to let the little thief go?

Lady Xue ignored Siksananda's question. Her almond-shaped eyes swept left and right, and a stream of light appeared in her hand.

A flash of lightning revealed a small, crescent-shaped knife with two wings growing from its back, each wing bearing an intricate seal script.

This treasure had been with her for who knows how long, and it had long been honed to an unparalleled sharpness. Not only did it exude a chilling aura, but it also seemed to appear and disappear in the air.

Lady Xue wielded the blade, its edge carrying a chilling killing intent, instantly severing the throats of the old turtle and Mr. Gong.

The two great demons, who had cultivated for many years, died before they could react, hand in hand heading to the Yellow Springs.

With a flick of her whisk, Madam Xue brought back the azure gate, which swallowed the corpses of Mr. Gong and the old turtle whole.

The crescent-shaped dagger spun rapidly, wreaking havoc on the river's surface. Even the little demons kneeling in worship below could not escape its clutches. The pitiful demons, still respectfully chanting Buddhist mantras, were ruthlessly annihilated by Madam Xue.

"Does Your Highness know who the swordsman you just fought was?"

Siksananda looked at Madam Xue, wondering what this ghost cultivator was really up to.

"How could I not know? His surname is Su and his given name is Che. He must be some kind of official in the Liang Kingdom."

Lady Xue waved her whisk, unleashing her divine power to annihilate all living beings on the river.

"He comes from the Su family of Duling, and one of his elders is a martial artist with the cultivation level of the fourth rank."

"so what?"

Siksananda had no idea what was wrong with Madam Xue's temper.

So what if he's a martial artist with the cultivation level of the fourth rank? Isn't my father a Buddhist enlightened king who has attained immortality?

"Not so. If the Crown Prince wants to deal with him, he should naturally know his background. He is a disciple of Huang Tiandao, and his master is Yu Lizi Zhenren, who was personally taught by Huang Tiandao and has just recently attained immortality."

"Does Madam think I just crawled out of a ravine? I not only know that his master is Yu Lizi, but I also know that Huang Tiandao led the sect's true masters across the void, all the Supreme Elders went out, five of the six sect leaders left, and the entire sect went to conquer the extraterrestrial demon Lord of the End of Dharma."

"I also know that his master, Yu Lizi, suffered a hidden injury when the mighty and fearless Heavenly Demon King descended upon him during his enlightenment. Now he sits in the Yellow Heaven Dao Sect, struggling to hold on, and is attacked day and night by various Heavenly Demons. Do you want me to continue, Madam?"

Lady Snow gave her allies a cold look.

"Then the Crown Prince should also know that Huang Tiandao Chief achieved a great victory outside the boundless void and has led all the Huang Tiandao True Persons back."

"what?"

Siksananda subconsciously looked up at the sky above, then gazed in the direction of Guobei County. At my current speed, it would take many more attempts to get back to the Hungry Ghost Realm.

"Hmph, Xuandu Palace has long had an edict that methods of the third rank and above must not be displayed in the Central Plains. Even if Senior Huangtian Daoist is arrogant, he can't possibly ignore Xuandu Palace, can he? As for True Person Yulizi..."

Siksananda's voice gradually lowered, and finally he looked at Madam Xue, his eyes filled with rage.

"Does Madam mean that this young man surnamed Su should learn the Yellow Heaven Dao Technique from Yu Lizi and come back to seek revenge on me?"

Lady Xue looked at Shicha Nanda.

“Indeed, the disciples of the major sects of the Xuanmen are precious, but they are not entirely unkillable. However, since the Crown Prince intends to take action against Su Che, he must be fully prepared and must not let the news leak out.”

Lady Xue's face was ashen.

"If Huang Tiandao were to find out, the Crown Prince would naturally know the consequences..."

"Madam's considerations are indeed very thorough."

Siksananda was no ordinary man; after Lady Xue's guidance, he naturally understood the crux of the matter.

The Xuanmen Divination Technique excels at communicating with heaven and earth, detecting fortune and misfortune in the unseen realm.

If Su Che had truly been killed, it would naturally not have been hidden from Huang Tiandao.

However, Lady Xue is a practitioner of the divine path, and the "divine kingdom" she created has the ability to isolate heaven and earth. It is naturally the most appropriate way for her to trap Su Che within it.

As for what happens next, there's no need for Siksananda to remind her; Lady Xue will likely take care of it herself.

For example, cripple that kid surnamed Su's cultivation, cut off his hands and feet, gouge out his eyes and cut off his nose, remove his genitals, and then slowly raise him in the divine kingdom.

In this way, if Huang Tiandao were to divine Su Che's fate, he would naturally receive news that he was still alive. If he were to divine his location, he would conclude that he was no longer in this world.

Of course, there are still too many flaws in this. No matter how Siksananda thinks about it, he feels that Madam Xue's method can only cover things up temporarily.

If the divination methods of the Xuanmen sect cannot even defend against such a simple method, then they would probably have been lost long ago because no one has practiced them.

"The Crown Prince acted far too rashly, and although I have made some amends, as for the future..."

Madam Xue pondered for a moment: "I will have to visit Guobei County."

“Madam is meticulous in her thinking; no wonder she was able to build such a great empire despite being a ghost cultivator.” Siksananda said in a charming voice, “This humble monk will never forget your kindness.”

"Your Highness is too kind."

Dai Yixiaodao slaughtered all living beings on and off the river, and Lady Xue put the divine blade back into her sleeve.

Siksananda unleashed his Buddha-light, disrupting the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

After both sides finished their preparations, they leisurely rode the wind and flew towards Madam Xue's water palace.

However, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Even the two experts in the Rejuvenation Pill Sect failed to see that on a distant mountain peak, a dark-skinned man had taken in everything.

"Young Master Ouyang is truly remarkable."

Chang Qi felt a little depressed, fearing that it wouldn't be long before his younger sister would also possess such swordsmanship.

I feel increasingly unworthy of her.

He suppressed those fantasies in his heart and silently walked into the distance.

At this point, it would be impossible to search for the items on the Chang family's ship anymore.

Who knows if those immortals might return and kill you to silence you?

Lady Xue opened her "divine kingdom," which she had cultivated for many years. Su Che's body rippled in the void, and he was captured.

Young Master Su usually uses the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden to impersonate others all day long, but today he actually got to impersonate someone else for once.

This wasn't the first time Su Che had encountered something like a "divine kingdom."

Previously in Tian'an County, when he encountered the demon-possessed City God, Young Master Su went deep into his domain and experienced firsthand the divine power of such a being.

However, the territory of the City God of Tian'an County can only be described as a "shrine" and cannot be compared with Lady Xue's "divine kingdom".

Where Su Che was, there was only the sky and the sea.

The ocean is vast, stretching to the endless distance, with rolling waves and leaden giants surging incessantly. Extending one's divine sense downwards, one can sense countless creatures beneath the water.

The sky was high and vast, with no sun shining brightly, only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky. Looking as far as the eye could see, one could vaguely make out palaces and pavilions on the moon, like the Guanghan Palace.

Everything before my eyes was vivid and real. The sea breeze gently caressed my body. If I hadn't just been captured by Madam Xue, I would never have believed that everything before me was a transformation. She was indeed an old fox with many tricks up her sleeve.

What a magnificent divine kingdom by the sea!

As I was pondering this, I faintly heard the sounds of drums and horns, and shouts of battle rose from all directions.

The once calm sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds.

Eerie green will-o'-the-wisps rolled beneath the surface of the water, leaden waves roared, and pairs of scarlet eyes rose from the depths of the sea.

A clap of thunder sounded, and a bolt of lightning snaked down from the sky, striking towards Su Che.

Young Master Su opened up the Nine Bends of Yin Spring, and the eerie light swirled, catching the silver snake.

Having been struck by lightning, Su Che savored the taste of that lightning bolt, realizing it was merely a facade, far from possessing the true power of heaven and earth.

However, the feeling of being rejected by this world around me was incredibly real.

The waves roared, the wind howled, and everything here seemed to be blaming itself, as if all the "forces of nature" were trying to destroy it.

With the thunderous sound of drums and the mournful wail of horns, a troop of men, carrying black banners and clad in black armor, came treading on water from the ends of the earth.

The leading deity was dressed in a black robe, wore a black gauze hat, had a black beard and a black face, and rode a magnificent black unicorn with a pair of golden maces hanging on the saddle. He opened a book scroll with his left hand and was sketching on it with a pen in his right hand.

"There is a male ghost from the Su family of Duling who has committed numerous evil deeds. He has been summoned here by order of Consort Jiang to be executed."

As he spoke, he stared at Su Che with bulging eyes.

"But what about you?"

Su Che stood with his arms crossed, looking at the group of people behind him.

The black banner bore the inscription "Left Judge of the Canglang Water Palace for Suppressing Evil," which was presumably the official title of the person before him.

Behind him was a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, clad in black armor, each holding a golden mace, halberd, or axe. Their expressions were solemn, giving them a formidable and well-equipped appearance.

"Are you the criminal Su?"

Seeing that Su Che remained completely still, like a wooden puppet or clay figure, the judge was instantly filled with rage and roared angrily.

"Pfft."

Su Che couldn't help but laugh.

"What a thief!"

The Left Judge, who was in charge of apprehending evil, roared, "He truly doesn't know his death is imminent! Guards, seize him, pierce his collarbone, and lock him in the cold prison!"

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Su Che hurriedly waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now."

The judge accidentally spilled vermilion ink all over the head of the black unicorn while wielding his pen.

"It's not that I'm begging for mercy."

Su Che almost laughed himself to death.

"Esteemed Envoy, if I may be so bold as to ask, do you know who you are?"

The judge looked to both sides, his smile as radiant as Su Che's.

"This sinner is probably terrified; he doesn't even know who I am."

The group of ghost generals around him laughed along.

"Perhaps they are illiterate." "Even if they are illiterate, they know the esteemed reputation of our master and are aware of the divine power of the empress."

Hehe, haha, chattering away, the group of divine generals and heavenly soldiers burst into laughter, their laughter even more mournful than the wailing of ghosts.

The judge's smile vanished, and he roared angrily.

"I am..."

"The nameless ghost."

Su Che's body circulated with Yin energy, releasing the battle spirits of eight hundred ghost soldiers. Instantly, a malevolent aura emanated from Su Che and spread outwards.

The soldiers were battered and broken, their banners fluttering in disarray, yet each soldier was bound together by a shared spirit, ultimately merging with Su Che's aura, solid as a mountain, vast as a mighty river.

"You dare to resist? My men, give them your..."

Su Che waved his hand.

"kill!"

With a roar, the eight hundred soldiers' spirits stirred up a chilling wind and charged towards the group of divine soldiers and generals.

The two armies clashed immediately.

The eight hundred soldiers, like tigers among sheep, raised their spears and halberds high, their arrows flying like locusts, their spears like a forest. The seemingly invincible divine generals and heavenly soldiers crumbled at the first touch.

"This……"

The Ghost Judge watched as the soldiers around him were slaughtered by the military spirits, each one turning into pure Yin energy. He was immediately enraged, cursing the demon in his heart, and drew his golden mace, urging the black Qilin to charge towards Su Che.

Seemingly intimidated by his divine might, the warriors under Su Che's command made way for him, and he actually charged right up to Su Che with his golden mace raised high.

"end."

Su Che called out and used his magic to block him in front of him.

"Today I will show you what you really are."

Su Che extended one index finger, and a wisp of sword energy leaped out.

The sword energy, as sharp as flying needles, pierced the majestic black Qilin, and the divine beast revealed its true form as if a bubble had been blown away.

He was an old ghost, dressed in rags and emaciated.

Some distant memories suddenly surfaced in the Ghost Judge's mind, and he subconsciously uttered a sentence.

"father?"

"Alas, you fool."

With a flick of his finger, Young Master Su sent the father and son ghosts to their deaths.

These heavenly soldiers and generals were merely ordinary ghosts transformed into human form. They were utterly powerless against the eight hundred military spirits and were slaughtered in no time.

Lady Xue's divine weapons were easily defeated, but the Canghai Divine Kingdom was quite mysterious, so they needed to figure out a way to escape.

As Su Che was thinking this, the sound of gongs and drums rang in his ears again.
A group of people appeared where heaven and earth met, and a black banner could be seen in the distance, bearing the words "Left Judge of Canglang Water Palace for Suppressing Evil".

Something interesting.

Su Che saw the face of the leading ghost judge, and it was the same guy he had just sent away.
