On the Avenue.

Chapter 508: The Ministry of Rites Goes First
Gao Clan of Pangu, the Xuanming Palace Qin Guang Wang Gao Xizhou led a group of judges to fly up and leave Pangu Province. Sect Master Gao Caiyun looked at the ghosts and gods from afar, with a complicated expression, and whispered: "Yindu, I must take action against you for the Gao Clan, don't blame me..."

She recalled the time when she eloped with Chen Yindu but was stopped by her brother. She saw her brother being beaten by Chen Yindu and she softened her heart and went home with her brother.

If my family had not tried to stop me, and if my determination had been stronger, perhaps we wouldn't have to go to war today.

Now that she is the head of the Gao family, she must consider the future of the Gao family and must not allow any love between her children!
"What's more, we are all old." She said silently in her heart.

At the same time, the Zhou Jue Palace of the Gu family in Binhai and the Song Emperor Gu Huaiyuan also led the judges of Zhou Jue Palace to leave Binhai Province. There were also the Taihe Palace of the Zhang family in Juzhou, the Wuguan King Zhang Ruoshu, the Mingchen Palace of the Xia family in Beilai, the Biancheng King Xia Huaijin, the Bizhen Palace of the Xu family in Lingzhou, the Metropolitan King Xu Luoying, the Qifei Palace of the Yang family in Tingzhou, the Pingdeng King Yang Sheng, the Suying Palace of the Cui family in Zhenzhou, the Wheel King Cui Qingwu and other hell masters, each led thousands of hell ghosts and countless ghosts, and took action.

The major families also thought that Chen Shi might send people to attack on the day he ascended the throne and became the True King, so they left many ghosts and gods to protect the major families. The clan leaders and former clan leaders of the major families also stayed behind and did not go out.

The main forces mobilized this time are those of ghosts and gods.

October 3rd, Si time.

Xinxiang Imperial Capital.

A loud horn sounded, making a toot sound, the sound was loud and long.

On the road leading to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, huge furnaces were lit and the flames shot straight into the sky.

One by one, the gods who governed the fifty provinces appeared in the flames, holding up the map of the country in their hands, solemn and dignified. They were the shadows of the fifty provincial gods, and their real bodies had not descended, but they were just shadows, yet they exuded an earth-shaking aura.

Civil and military officials stood on the stone steps in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, divided into the left and right sides, each with a serious face and waiting quietly.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." The young eunuch from the Imperial Household Department said to Chen Shi.

He was a young eunuch sent by eunuch Feng Tianhuan, named Xiao Chengzi. He was twelve or thirteen years old, and was castrated by his parents and sent to eunuch Feng. When Chen Shi ascended the throne, the Ministry of Rites needed to formulate regulations, and the Silijian was in charge of the entire etiquette. The people in the Ministry of Rites drafted the regulations, and the rest was handed over to Xiao Chengzi. However, he had just entered the palace and had never seen such a big scene, and his voice could not help but tremble when he spoke.

"Don't be nervous."

Chen Shi wore the emperor's crown with the tassels hanging in front of his eyes, and his necklaces swayed slightly. He said, "It's my first time to ascend the throne too. Just look at me and you won't be nervous."

"No, not nervous!" Xiao Chengzi said.

Chen Shi stepped forward, Xiao Chengzi hurriedly followed him, thought for a moment, and then ran away again, running from the side to catch up with Chen Shi's footsteps.

"Your Majesty, slow down. You are walking too fast." Xiao Chengzi shouted in panic.

According to the instructions of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Shi should slow down so that the palace maids holding canopies on both sides can keep up with him. But now, Chen Shi unconsciously quickened his pace, and the two teams of palace maids behind him could only trot forward holding canopies.

The origin of Chen Shi's journey was not in the imperial palace, but in Chengtian Gate.

Only by crossing Chengtian Gate can one be said to be following the will of Heaven and have the right to do so.

Although Chen Shi heard Xiao Chengzi's voice asking him to slow down, he still quickened his pace unconsciously. One after another vermilion palace gates opened in front of him, and the sound of horns became louder and more distant, making his mind unconsciously a little dazed. He recalled the time when he was in Huangpo Village and he defeated all the dogs in the village and made them worship him as their king.

"Haha, why do I suddenly remember things from my childhood?"

He only felt that his behavior in childhood was absurd, but the scene before him, wasn't it him conquering all the heroes in the world and ascending to the throne of the true king?

He was in high spirits, with all kinds of heroic feelings surging in his heart.

Power is truly intoxicating.

He arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, lifted up the dragon robe with one hand, and walked up the stairs. Two teams of palace maids tried hard to keep up with him, but they were out of breath after walking a short distance.

At this time, a deafening roar was heard outside the imperial capital. A huge arm, two or three hundred feet long, stretched out from the ground, grabbed the city wall, and made a rumbling sound.

Outside the city, the ground around the imperial capital cracked open, and endless fires burned blazingly below, emitting a red glow. In an instant, the Xinxiang imperial capital seemed to have become an isolated city, suspended in the hellish fires.

"Rebellious ministers, you are plotting against the will of heaven!"

The arm exerted force to climb upwards, and a messy head popped out from the depths of the earth. Behind the head was a huge hell. Countless ghosts and gods stood in hell, wielding swords and weapons, and offering magic weapons. They looked ferocious and excited, ready to fight their way out of hell at any time.

The god struggled to climb out of the underworld, and shouted in a thunderous voice: "Traitor, today I will bury you with the whole city!"

He mobilized the power of the avenue of hell, and his own divine power was almost boiling, and he smashed down with a bang!
His fist was ablaze with flames, as if one punch could destroy half of the imperial capital.

At the same time, the imperial capital was surrounded by extremely majestic ghosts and gods, with hells on their heads. Some had ferocious faces, while others had smiling faces. They crawled out from the underworld, their bodies growing taller and taller. Looking down from the air, the huge figures surrounded the imperial capital, and the city seemed to become extremely small.

Countless people in the city panicked and fled in all directions.

Chen Shi did not even turn his head and continued to climb the stairs. The huge fist, dragging flames, was smashing towards the imperial city.

The ghost god laughed loudly, and his fist was about to land on the imperial city, but suddenly the scene in front of him changed abruptly, and his body sank rapidly and fell into the underworld!

Falling with him were those majestic ghosts and gods, bringing hell with them. What they saw was a mountain as high as the yellow sky.

On the high hill, willow trees stand tall and majestic, and behind the willow trees is a mysterious temple. Rays of light floating from the world of the living are connected to the temple formed by divine power, and their shapes are like the wings of colorful butterflies, which is very beautiful.

A Taoist with an ancient appearance stood under the willow tree, overlooking them.

In the temple behind, the Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said to the Little King of Hell, "Brother Bao, now it depends on whose method is better."

The little King of Hell stroked the toad in his arms and said, "Of course, your Majesty is better."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu was very happy.

Suddenly, one judge after another activated the layers of hell, mobilized the power of the avenue in hell, and rushed towards the temple of Hou Tu Niangniang!
The willow tree's countless branches danced and lashed downwards, rolling up a judge and smashing him headfirst into the ground.

Taoist Liu stood up in the air, making sword gestures with his hands. The ancient willow trees danced along with his sword gestures. He confronted the judges head-on and challenged their divine powers.

Countless ghosts and gods suddenly flew out from the hell of the judges, screaming and crawling towards the sky like a tide.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Liu hurriedly urged the willow tree to grow wildly. The willow branches grew bigger and bigger, entangled and bound the ghosts and gods and hung them on the tree.

He wanted to deal with these ghosts and gods, and suddenly he couldn't stop the siege of the judge.

The nine Yama Kings all had expressionless faces as they walked towards the Temple of the Goddess of Hou Tu, their momentum growing stronger and stronger.

The little King of Hell walked out of the temple holding the toad and looked down.

Behind each of the Nine Yama Kings, a judge walked out, quickened their pace, and walked towards the Little King of Hell.

In the world of the living, the imperial capital was surrounded by a scene as horrifying as hell, but at this moment the sky suddenly became clear and the sun was shining brightly. The cracked earth, the surging fire of karma, the deep underworld, the towering ghosts and gods, and the towering hells all disappeared.

"Do it!"

Yang Bi issued an order, and in the palace, the Heavenly Court Orders were quickly unlocked and transformed into portals. Longyou Sanren, Shao Niangniang and others led hundreds of Sanren and entered one after another and walked into these portals.

Inside the portal are the smaller heavens.

In the Small Universe, tens of thousands of talisman masters from the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association from the fifty provinces of Xiniu New Continent were silent, their talisman bags were bulging, talisman weapons were hung on their backs, and armor and horse talismans were tied to their legs. Ten people formed a group, and each had a magic weapon from the Yan family.

They were quiet, their eyes fixed on the three gates.

"The Ministry of Rites goes first!" Yang Bi also came to Xiaozhutian and said in a deep voice.

Li Tianqing, Yu Lingzi and Xiao Dingxiang each walked into a portal.

Xiao Dingxiang leaned on a human emperor banner, looking a little nervous. This was her first time experiencing such a big battle, and as a member of the Ministry of Rites, she went to declare war on the Xu family.

The three of them walked out of their respective doors, and Li Tianqing arrived outside Quanzhou City. Looking at the city, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart, but he still raised his feet and walked into Quanzhou City.

His voice was clear and loud, and it spread throughout the city: "Li Tianqing, the Minister of Rites, is here to visit the Li family on the orders of the True King!"

Yu Lingzi came to the outside of Tingzhou, carrying the Zhenwu Zhuxie Sword on his back, and walked into Tingzhou City, saying loudly: "Yu Lingzi, the Minister of Rites, is here to visit the Yang family on the order of the True King!"

When Xiao Dingxiang walked out the door, the Xu family of Lingzhou was just outside.

She gritted her teeth and walked towards the city. At this moment, she heard the voice of a disciple from Hongshan Hall behind her: "Senior Sister, do you need me to shout something?"

The disciple from Hongshan Hall was the talisman master responsible for opening the gate to Lingzhou, and he was standing next to the gate. Yang Bi had prepared dozens of similar disciples just for the sake of safety.

Little Dingxiang shook her head, mustered up her courage, and her voice spread throughout Lingzhou City: "Dingxiang, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is here to visit the Xu family on the orders of the True King!"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on her, but Xiao Dingxiang gradually relaxed and walked straight towards Xu's house.

The elders of the Xu family and a group of strong men rushed out like a tide and looked at the girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The voice of Xu Yinglong, the patriarch of the Xu family, came: "Don't embarrass the envoy, please invite her into the mansion."

Xiao Dingxiang walked into the Xu residence, greeted Xu Yinglong, and said, "I am here on the orders of the True King to deliver the letter of rebellion. The Xu family has received the grace of the previous True King, but has not thought of repaying it. Instead, they have oppressed the people and abused their power in the court. According to the Great Ming law, the entire family should be executed."

Xu Yinglong accepted the letter of challenge and sneered, "Chen Shi rebelled and called himself the true king. Can a traitor also follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xiao Dingxiang said calmly, "The true king is the true king of Xinzhou, Xiniu, and a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He respects His Majesty Jiajing as the emperor and has no second thoughts. Please don't resist, or you will be beheaded soon."
