Chapter 445 Yesterday's Web, Today's Showdown (Part 1)

Shanyin County, the main camp of the righteous army.

Yue Luan sat quietly in his tent. According to the rules of this realm, the dwellings of cultivators in the mortal world are called "reed huts," not that they are actually made of reeds, but simply for the sake of the name. No mortal is allowed to trespass on the grounds where reed huts are located.

His camp was the same; the area within a hundred feet around it had been completely cleared, creating an indescribable sense of desolation.

However, Yue Luan did not take it to heart. He sat upright on the bamboo mat, slowly stroking a small vermilion sword in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Not far from him was the pure white porcelain bottle that Su Che had given him.

"My brother looks very healthy."

A voice came from inside the pure white porcelain bottle.

The sound came from an unknown source, but its timbre carried an indescribable air of freedom and ease.

"It's just a matter of clinging to life; how can it compare to your good complexion? I heard you're coming to the Central Plains?"

"That's certainly a thought I have."

"Great demon Bai Ze, why are you giving up your comfortable life in the East Sea and coming to this cage in Xuandu Palace?" Yue Luan said sarcastically, "Do you want to go to Luofeng City to keep your ancestors company?"

"None of the demon gods in Luofeng City have my ancestors. In fact, Brother Yue, your words clearly carry the arrogance unique to humans. There are a hundred kinds of people. Even though both the Northern and Southern Dynasties are now human, the Southern Dynasty regards the Northern Dynasty as barbarians, and the Northern Dynasty regards the Southern Dynasty as island barbarians. The ancient demon gods were a unified entity. The so-called ethnicity is just a nicer way of saying servants."

"Moreover, even if they are all great demons, how could a fierce tiger be willing to be grouped with a sow, or an eagle and owl be willing to be considered as belonging to the same race as a sparrow? Whether it's the demon race of the East Sea or the ancient demon gods, it all reveals your own arrogance as humans, and you haven't considered things from our perspective at all..."

"Your divine thought has been painstakingly delivered to me. If all you want to do is spout these heretical theories from the East China Sea, then there's no need to talk about it."

Yue Luan could only sneer. These newly created great demons from the East Sea, including rare and extraordinary species like Bai Ze, how could they be such worthless trash?

"Oh, I've said too much again. I just wanted to send my greetings to my friends in Yujingdao. We haven't been in touch for many years, and I'm afraid there might be some misunderstandings between us..."

"If you keep muttering like that, I'll have no choice but to take action and cut off your thoughts."

"I just wanted to let Brother Yue know that those people from back then are making a move again."

"Ok?"

Yue Luan gently touched the small crimson sword in his palm: "Who? Is it Huang Tiandao or Shenxiaodao...?"

"Although these are all matters within your own Xuanmen sect, they are not solely the responsibility of these two families. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Six Heavens Yin Instrument?"

"The supreme treasure of the ancient Black Emperor?"

"The Six Heavens Yin Instrument was once as famous as the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, the Nine Yang Reversal Ruler, the Separation and Union Mirror, and the Five-Colored Yuan Gourd. All of them were made by those five people back then and were the number one treasures in this world. Unfortunately, the remaining four were either damaged or destroyed..."

"The Six Heavenly Yin Instruments have also been destroyed."

Yue Luan said solemnly.

"Indeed, the Six Heavens Yin Instrument that could reverse cause and effect and reverse time has disappeared, but it has not been truly destroyed," the voice in the bottle said quietly.

"It had been hidden in one place all along, perhaps because Xuandu Palace deliberately concealed it, or perhaps because the world created by the ancient Black Emperor truly had unique features..."

"You mean this thing is in the Yin-Yang realm? In the hands of the Yin-Yang Dharma King?"

"He's gone now. Brother Yue, if you could refrain from interrupting me, then perhaps I could..."

"The Yin-Yang boundary shattered, and the Six Heavens Yin Instruments fell into the hands of Buddhism?"

Yue Luan narrowed his eyes. That was the Six Heavens Yin Instrument. If he could obtain that treasure, not only would it be a problem for him, but the Jade Scenery Path would probably be completely different.

But now that this thing has fallen into the hands of those bald monks, it's probably not going to be retrieved easily. "It hasn't fallen into the hands of the Buddhist sect. I can confirm that this thing has fallen into the hands of that one. As for other matters, they have some connection with you, sir."

"he?"

Yue Luan's hands grew cold at the thought of that person, especially if he were to fall into their hands.

Almost immediately, he thought of drawing his sword and utterly shattering the damned monster's thoughts.

"How do you know this, that you're just spouting nonsense? Why should I believe you?"

"Perhaps it's because I'm the last Bai Ze in this world."

That voice suddenly seemed somewhat lonely.

Bai Ze can speak, understands the essence of all things, and comprehends the transformations of ghosts and gods. The Bai Ze of the East Sea and the Di Ting of the West are both rare and wondrous creatures, and the voice I hear now is indeed the last Bai Ze in this world.

"Huang Tiandao has launched a campaign beyond the Nine Heavens Domain, and the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King has already perished."

Yue Luan did not interrupt Bai Ze, but he did change the subject.

"Back then, the remains of the ancient Azure Emperor Ling Weiyang were in the hands of the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King. Also involved were people from the Divine Firmament Sect and several Buddhist monks... Those were people who came from the ancient Heavenly Court."

"them?"

Yue Luan pondered the possibilities in Bai Ze's words.

The Six Heavens Yin Instrument and the remains of the ancient Azure Emperor, plus that person—although Yue Luan disliked it, he had to admit how illustrious that person was.

Those who can occupy the top rank on the Xuanmen True Spirit Position Chart are powerful beings whose positions could not be shaken even by the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court.

"Didn't they say that the reincarnation of the Azure Emperor was that guy surnamed Su..."

"It's just a deliberate attempt to create a false impression. The White Deer Cave has already tried it, and the Demonic Sect also wanted to try it before, but they were blocked by someone—the Ghost Ancestor of Beimang."

As Yue Luan thought about this, his mind wandered to many other things.

"You're telling me all this just so you can use me as a mouthpiece, right?"

"Brother Yue understands my heart."

The voice said calmly, "I really can't find any of the patriarchs of the Jade Scenery Path. I had a brief encounter with Brother Yue before, which is why I have the audacity to come here and ask Brother Yue to help me pass on a message."

"What?"

"We want to break this cage between heaven and earth. If the people of Yujingdao are willing to help, then why not join forces and start a business together? If not, even if Xuandu Palace is unwilling to take action, they will not leave us any room for maneuver. Please make plans as soon as possible."

Bai Ze's voice gradually lowered.

"Look, this cage is just like that. The moment you have the thought of breaking it, you will give Xuandu..."

Yue Luan felt Bai Ze's faint thought completely dissipate under the crushing force of the laws of heaven and earth.

The Xuandu Palace gave them a break in the East Sea, but they still acted like this in the Central Plains. They are truly ignorant of death.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly sensed someone coming from outside.

Liu Yidao.

What's this kid doing here at this time?
