Chapter 509: Beheading and Offering to Heaven
"Beheading quickly?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xu family was furious. Someone immediately rushed over to kill Xiao Dingxiang to vent their anger, shouting, "Traitor, I'll chop off your head first!"

Little Dingxiang was extremely nervous, holding onto the Emperor's Banner tightly, her heart pounding, reminding her of the time when she was coerced by the Taiping Gate to sneak into the underworld to steal the Soul-Resurrection Lotus. There were ghosts and gods sleeping in the sky, so she had to be careful not to make any noise, otherwise she would be eaten by the awakened ghosts and gods!

That experience was her eternal nightmare.

The Xu family masters surrounding her were like gods from the underworld who could kill her at any time.

Fortunately, Xu Yinglong raised his hand to stop the many Xu family masters who rushed over, and said calmly: "The rebel Chen Shi sent a little girl to deliver a letter, just to provoke us and let us kill her, but our Xu family still has some tolerance. In Lingzhou City, our Xu family will never touch the messenger. Come, see him off!"

The two elders of the Xu family stepped forward, each with an angry look on their faces, and raised their hands and said, "Girl, please!"

Xiao Dingxiang walked obediently between the two of them and headed out of the city.

In Lingzhou City, Xu Yinglong raised his spirit and looked down at the outside of the city. He saw a portal made of light and shadow outside the city. The portal was not big and could accommodate two or three people walking side by side. Next to the portal, there was a talisman master who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"I think the rebels came out from this door. Why is there only one person guarding the door?"

As he was thinking about it, he saw four strange-looking people walking out of the door, one old, one young, a beautiful woman and a Taoist priest.

Xu Yinglong suddenly saw one of the young scholars with a nervous look on his face, and immediately ordered several elders on the side: "Wake up the four ancestors immediately!"

The scholar was none other than Longyou Sanren, a peerless master in the Sanren organization.

In his early years, Xu Yinglong admired Hanshan Sanren of the Xu family. He once followed the traces of this predecessor and mingled with the Sanren organization. He met Longyou Sanren at a Sanren gathering and recognized him.

Longyou Sanren was a scholar, and Hanshan took him to listen to his lecture. After the lecture, he still had many questions. Hanshan took him to meet Longyou Sanren and respected this legendary figure very much.

Xu Yinglong benefited a lot from that experience, which laid the foundation for his status as a clan leader, and his practice became smoother and smoother. Later, he returned to the Xu family, inherited the position of clan leader, and separated from the Sanren organization.

He originally thought that Longyou Sanren should have died long ago, but he didn't expect to meet this senior master again at this time and place.

The four ancestors of the Xu family are the former patriarch Xu Feilong, grandfather Xu Xiaoshu, great-grandfather Xu Henshui, and great-grandfather Xu Lu. The four of them are extremely old, but they know that Xu Yinglong must have a reason for waking them up, so they rush over immediately.

When they saw Longyou Sanren, the four elders were all shocked and their faces looked solemn.

Xu Yinglong said: "Four ancestors, Longyou Sanren is extremely powerful, not weaker than you, I am no match for him..."

Xu Henshui shook his head and said, "We are no match for them either."

Xu Xiaoshu said: "Longyou Sanren already has a semi-immortal body. He should have passed the heavenly tribulation and stepped into the realm of tribulation or the realm of ascension. His soul is already an immortal soul. In ancient times, this was the semi-immortal in the old law!"

Xu Henshui said: "And there are four such beings on the opposite side."

He glanced at Mu Daozi, Shao Niangniang, and Pei Sanren, and said, "I didn't expect that the four strongest Mahayana practitioners in Sanren's organization would actually make it this far and break through the Mahayana realm! Their original cultivation was not weaker than ours, and they were even stronger. Now they are one or two realms higher than us."

Xu Yinglong's face suddenly changed, and his soul suddenly descended into the underworld.

The King of Hell of the Xu family has led the Bizhen Palace and thousands of ghosts and gods in hell to attack Chen Shi. At this time, there are four levels of hell.

Xu Yinglong's soul was vast and descended from the sky to the sky above the Crucifixion Hell. He shouted, "Ancestor Xu Shan! Ancestor Dangyang! Ancestor Jieyuan! Ancestor Xu Zhen! The Xu family is in danger in the mortal world and encountered four semi-immortals. I beg the four ancestors to help rescue us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four judges each summoned their divine power and sacrificed the four hells of crucifixion, volcano, stone mill, and knife saw, which were compatible with the great realm. Patriarch Xu Shan laughed and said, "Even if it is a half-immortal, it will end in regret when facing us. The magic power of a half-immortal is far inferior to ours!"

"Xu Yinglong, just go back to the human world!"

Patriarch Dangyang shouted, "Watch me perform a transformation and pull Lingzhou into the underworld!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yinglong hurried back to the world of the living. Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook violently, the mountains and rivers around Lingzhou changed drastically, and cold winds blew. It was as if Lingzhou actually appeared in the underworld!

The four judges were thousands of feet tall, standing behind Lingzhou City. Their eyes swept across Lingzhou City and fell on Longyou, Shao Niangniang and the other four independent people. Then they saw the small gate behind them and smiled.

From the hell behind the four judges, countless ghosts and gods flew out like locusts, each standing on a group of dark clouds. Suddenly, the wind was howling, and the gloomy dark clouds covered the sky for a thousand miles. Ghosts and gods of all sizes, ranging from a thousand feet to several feet tall, looked down at Lingzhou from high above.

There are more than 300,000 ghosts and gods in the four hells!

Longyou Sanren looked up at the sky, only to see ghosts and gods covering the sky and the sun. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The accumulation of the Thirteenth Family over the years is really extraordinary. If it weren't for the Despair Slope breaking through the upper realm, this battle would have been a headache."

At this time, Xiao Dingxiang was escorted out of Lingzhou City by the two elders of the Xu family. Xiao Dingxiang said, "Please stay, both of you. I can walk the rest of the way by myself..."

An elder of the tribe said expressionlessly: "Can you still leave?"

Another elder's face was as cold as a stone statue in front of a mausoleum. He said indifferently: "You have humiliated the Xu family, so you will be reincarnated here. In your next life, be careful with your words!"

He roared, and a hundred-foot-tall soul appeared behind him. He took a step forward, and a big hand dropped from the sky and slapped Xiao Dingxiang!
The wind was blowing fiercely and the overwhelming murderous intent enveloped Xiao Dingxiang, making the girl terrified. She screamed and without thinking, she waved the Human Emperor Banner in her hand vigorously.

Suddenly, there was a loud crackling sound in the sky. The sound seemed to come from the depths of people's souls, as if it could tear their three souls and seven spirits apart!

But above Lingzhou, there were thousands of golden lights. More than 300,000 ghosts and gods suddenly flew up involuntarily, swept by the golden light, and flew towards the Human Emperor Banner!
At the same time, in Lingzhou City, the Xu family members whose cultivation was weak were unable to restrain their souls and spirits with their physical bodies. They were attracted by the thousands of golden lights that swept across Lingzhou City and flew towards the Human Emperor Banner involuntarily!

For a moment, ghosts and spirits were everywhere inside and outside Lingzhou City and in the sky. They grabbed around with their hands and kicked weakly with their feet, trying to grab something to save their lives so as not to be swallowed!
There are also those masters with stronger cultivation bases, whose souls are ready to move, and their bodies are lifted up by their souls and spirits, flying towards the Human Emperor Banner!
They have physical bodies and each of them tries hard to keep their bodies steady.

"Shh-"

Countless golden lights suddenly entered the banner. Little Dingxiang, who had just recovered from her shock, leaned on the banner and looked at the two elders in horror.

The two elders of the Xu family opened their eyes wide as the corpse slowly fell down.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

The bodies of the two men fell to the ground.

They were closest to the Human Emperor Banner, and the power of this banner exploded, which had the greatest impact on them. Even though they were great masters in the Spirit Refining Realm, they could not withstand the power of the Human Emperor Banner's shaking, and their souls were taken away directly, and their lives were taken away! Little Dingxiang was startled. At this time, there were sounds of people falling to the ground in the city. She looked in panic, and saw that the great masters whose cultivation strength was far superior to her had flushed faces and fell to the ground one after another, trying to stand firm.

A plop sound was heard, and Xiao Dingxiang looked with wide eyes. In Lingzhou city, thousands of Xu family members, regardless of age or gender, were dying and their bodies slowly fell to the ground.

The sky was originally filled with dark clouds that covered a thousand miles. Suddenly, the clouds dissipated, leaving only the four judges and a few powerful ghosts and gods.

They stood there in panic, not knowing how to deal with the sudden situation.

Suddenly, Xu Yinglong roared and sacrificed the Xu family's magic weapon, the Sun and Moon Pearls.

Two pearls, one big and one small, rose from the city, drew two bright arcs of light in the sky, and arrived outside the city in an instant!
The Sun and Moon Pearls, one pure Yang and one pure Yin, are immortal artifacts from the Chinese Divine Continent. After they fell into the hands of the Xu family, many masters who practiced the Yin and Yang arts were born in the Xu family. The last time Chen Shi realized the Yin and Yang, he came to the Xu family and received "guidance" from many people in the Xu family who practiced the Yin and Yang arts.

This immortal weapon is an integrated whole. It is most powerful when yin and yang are in harmony. It possesses the power of a world. The sun and the moon are about to intersect, yin and yang are about to be in harmony, and the might of the immortal way is also erupting from the two pearls!

Xiao Dingxiang looked at this scene in horror and wanted to wave the Human Emperor Banner, but it was too late!
At this moment, a tall green figure blocked her way and laughed, "First the courtesy, then the force. The courtesy department has fought, now it's my turn to the military department!"

The body of Qingyang Patriarch suddenly swelled, and two energy rings, one purple and one blue, whistled out from his body and expanded rapidly. With his body as the center, they revolved around each other, turbulently, and collided with the sun pearl and moon pearl!
The power of the two immortal artifacts, the Purple and Green Qi Ring and the Sun and Moon Pearl, exploded, the walls of Lingzhou City evaporated, countless houses were destroyed, and the earth was like rippling pond water, with waves rising and falling!
Qingyang groaned, and was blown up by the terrifying force and fell far away.

Xu Yinglong was also shocked and staggered back, and the sun and moon beads flew back to his side.

He steadied his body, immediately flew into the air, and raised the Sun and Moon Pearls to smash towards Xiao Dingxiang again.

Qingyang laughed loudly, and the laughter came from far away and got closer. Qingyang took off his own horns, used them as swords, and pounced on him, while urging the purple and green energy rings to rotate and attack.

Xu Yinglong immediately took back the Sun and Moon Pearls and faced the purple and green energy rings. The two of them collided with a loud bang and their figures came to be hundreds of miles away. The purple and green energy rotated and cut a mountain from the underworld in half. The sun and the moon were in the sky, refining the mountain into juice.

Qingyang and Xu Yinglong shuttled between the mountains, coming and going as fast as lightning.

Longyou Sanren, Shao Niangniang and others flew up to meet the four judges. At the same time, four ancestors including Xu Feilong and Xu Xiaoshu immediately rushed out of the city. As soon as the former sect leader Xu Feilong arrived outside the city, he saw a group of strange people of all ages coming into his sight.

All kinds of strange patterns appeared on these weird people's bodies. They were the Taoist patterns of witchcraft and sacrifice from the Shang Dynasty.

They walked towards Lingzhou City, and as they walked, they activated their mysterious skills. The Taoist patterns on their bodies seemed to come alive, and their bodies were rapidly changing, from human bodies to divine bodies, just like celestial gods!

"A powerful ghost from Tianchi Country!"

Xu Feilong was shocked to see that the powerful ghosts were coming in large numbers and there were sixteen or seventeen of them who were at the Mahayana level!

"Take your people and go!" Xu Xiaoshu shouted sternly.

The four elders acted separately, each leading a group of tribesmen, and rushed off in different directions.

Those powerful ghosts also roared up, surrounded and intercepted the four elders one by one, and the remaining Xu clan members immediately fled in all directions.

At this time, in the wilderness outside the city, portals to heaven appeared one after another, and the talisman masters of Hongshan Hall poured out of the portals, with a ball of fire floating in front of each of them. It was the Thousand Mile Sound Talisman.

"Cheng Qi, Tian Yue'e, go to the direction of Zishi. Madam Hua Li, Tian Yang Tongzi, go to the direction of Choushi. Ren Hang, Yuan Shan, go to the direction of Youshi."

In the Lesser Universe, Yang Bi sat on a high platform, with a panoramic view of the scenery within a thousand miles of Lingzhou. He shouted orders one after another, ordering everyone to do everything possible to strangle the cultivators of the Xu family.

When Xiao Dingxiang unfolded the moving imperial banner, his layout had already been laid out.

In the imperial capital of Xinxiang, in the royal city, Chen Shi had already ascended the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and accepted the worship of civil and military officials. The coronation ceremony was halfway through. At this time, as the true king of Xinzhou, he led civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth and to confirm his legitimacy.

Surrounded by court officials, he walked towards the Temple of Heaven. From the air came the melodious sounds of Hongzhong, Dalü and stone chimes, one slow and one fast.

"On the third day of the tenth month in the 6648th year of the Jiajing reign, the successor king, Chen Shi, announced to heaven and earth:"

At the Temple of Heaven, Chen Shi held incense and worshipped heaven and earth, his voice echoing in the sky above Xinxiang.

"In the past, the former king blazed a trail, cleared the thorns, opened a way of life, built a city with blood and bones, illuminated the world with the fire of his soul, slew the evil spirits, retreated the Black Sea, led the heroes, and saved the world from collapse. However, the evil was in power, and he died in despair, and the gods disappeared. Now, I, Chen Shi, have succeeded to the throne and will carry on the will of the former king..."

Quanzhou Li family.

When clan leader Li Xiaozai saw that the person coming from the Ministry of Rites was Li Tianqing, he couldn't help but smile. He took the letter of attack and ordered, "Come here! Contact other noble families immediately and ask for help!"

"Pass on my order to ask the gods of the Li family in the underworld to help in the battle!"

"All Li family members, listen up and prepare for battle!"

After delivering the order, he said to Li Tianqing: "Minister of Rites, a war is about to begin. Please stay away from the battlefield."

Li Tianqing walked out of the city and looked back at the ancestral land of the Li family.

In the underworld of Quanzhou City, Chen Shi’s skeleton came dragging the Tianluo Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, with the Tianchi Ghost Kingdom’s army of tens of thousands standing behind him. The cuckoo tribe flapped their wings and began to activate the Blood Lake Sutra.

At the same time, in the world of the living, Zhu Xiucai offered up the Yin-Yang Sun and Moon Ring and led thousands of Hongshan Hall talisman masters.

The little linden fairy walked in front and met Li Xiaozai.

"The mountains and rivers are vast, and the mottled spots are all caused by the people's wounds; the sun and the moon are dim, and the spirit is hurt and the righteousness is not strong."

Chen Shi’s voice was still echoing in the Temple of Heaven in the imperial capital of Xinxiang.

"If I do not wear the crown, I fear I will bear the blood and tears of the people; if I do not step on the golden steps, I fear I will betray the teachings of the previous kings.

"Now that I have ascended the throne, I will slay all evil spirits wherever my sword points, and unite all the people wherever my flag points. If the dark night comes again, I will use my body as a torch; if disaster strikes, I will use my soul as a barrier!"
