Chapter 520: Joining the Demon Emperor
Fairy Qiu Ningqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "The Heavenly Lord is still in seclusion, and the Heavenly Soldiers have not yet been refined. Most of the power of my Despair Slope is used to refine the Heavenly Soldiers. The five immortals Feng, Ping, Xi, etc. are outside, and only a few of us are left to guard the Despair Slope. If we rashly interfere in the human world, if something goes wrong, no one will come to rescue us."

Wenshan Taoist said with a smile: "Fairy Qiu is overthinking. The strength of Despair Slope is extraordinary. Not to mention us Heavenly Dao immortals, the Heavenly Dao practitioners alone are far superior to the masters of the world. Immortal Feng destroyed the upper world by himself. Now Chen Shi is fighting against the thirteen families without the upper world, and it is still so difficult, let alone us?"

The other two immortals agreed with this.

Immortal Lu Dingbo said, "If the upper world still existed, do you think Chen Shi would dare to declare himself the true king? It was precisely because the upper world was eliminated by Immortal Feng that he dared to jump out and revive the false gods of China and Hou Tu. There is not a single real immortal under Chen Shi's command. Even if there is an immortal, he is only a false immortal."

Taoist Shen Liujun said sternly: "The Thirteen Aristocratic Families are a minor problem. Chen Shi and Hou Tu are endangering the foundation of our Despair Slope. These two people, one disturbs the people's hearts, and the other disturbs the country. They must be eliminated. Brother Kou Dao was buried in the hands of the Demon Emperor. The Heavenly Venerable still needs to retreat and adjust his state to deal with the Demon Emperor. We are also immortals of the Heavenly Dao, why can't we help the Heavenly Venerable share his worries and solve his problems?"

Fairy Qiu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Chen Shi has become a well-known figure, and he has many masters under his command. If you go out, you might as well go find Feng Dao Ren and others first, so that you can take care of them."

She paused and said, "Now is not an ordinary time. Even someone like Kou Xianren has encountered an accident. It is better to be careful."

Taoist Wen said, "Then please ask Fairy Qiu to guard this place. The three of us will go down the mountain to look for Brother Feng."

The three were about to leave when Fairy Qiu Ning stopped them and said, "I've thought about it again and again, and I feel that the demons are keeping a close eye on Despair Hill, so your trip is still dangerous. How about this, you go to the Eternal Immortal Pavilion and each choose an immortal magic weapon. Taoist Wen, you take the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle."

Wen Daoren was startled and said with a smile: "The Yin-Yang Qi Bottle is the most powerful magic weapon in Yongxian Pavilion. If we take it away, in case of any mishap..."

Fairy Qiu Ning said: "Chen Shi has the Heavenly Blood-Transforming Divine Sword in his hand, which is extremely powerful and can only be resisted by the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle. You can take the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle away, and I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

The three of them knew that she meant well and thanked her immediately.

Fairy Qiu Ning watched them leave, feeling uneasy, thinking, "There are a total of eighteen fairies in my Despair Hill. Fairy Kou is dead, and Zhong Wuwang has been added to replace him. Six fairies, Feng, Ping, Xi, etc., are away and have not returned yet. Now three more fairies, Wen, Lu, and Shen, are out, and seven fairies, including Junior Sister Gong, are refining heavenly soldiers. Only Zhong Wuwang and I are left behind, and Wuwang is stupid and foolish, and can't remember many things from the past. If there is a riot at this time..."

She felt the pressure.

Among the Shiwan Mountains, the water of the Tianchi Lake flows through the Wuliang Cliff, falls from the sky, and falls into the Xiaotianhai below the cliff. A large river branches out from the south side of the Xiaotianhai, winding through the Shiwan Mountains.

The name of this river is Tianshui. Many ghosts live along the Tianshui River. The river passes through the ghost capitals of Yu Kingdom, Feng Kingdom and other countries. Thousands of miles to the southwest, there is a ghost town called Yuji, built along the river. There are several ghost women weaving fishing nets on the river bank. A few steps ahead, there is a simple dock, and several ghost women are washing clothes by the water.

Ten feet ahead on the shore, several ghost men were painting a fishing boat to prevent corrosion.

They turned their heads one after another and looked towards the Tianshui River, only to see a cloud sailing across the river, sticking close to the surface and much more stable than the boat.

There were four humans standing on the cloud, some Taoists and some secular people. The Taoist in front was holding a snow-white whisk with the dust resting on his elbow.

The white clouds came to the shore, and the four people went ashore. The white clouds behind them turned into a wisp of dust and were collected into the whisk.

The ghosts in Yuji Town all looked over with surprise.

This place is extremely remote, and few of the ghost children go out to work. It is rare to see strangers coming here, and even the number of human ghosts seen is pitifully small.

The four of them walked through the alleys of Yuji Town. The ground was wet, with water droplets formed by fog.

It's too damp here, making people feel uncomfortable.

The four of them came to a house by the water in the town. The door was not closed. Feng Ruotong was doing carpentry work in the yard. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw the four people walking in.

"Senior Brother Feng is so hard to find."

The leading Taoist was short, thin, and dark-skinned, with a dark green complexion. He walked forward first, and said in a sharp and high-pitched voice, "Brother Feng, aren't you here to look for the Demon City and the Demon King? Could it be that the Demon City and the Demon King are hiding in this inconspicuous ghost town?"

Feng Ruotong's face gradually showed a smile, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Ping, Fellow Daoist Xi, why did you come here?"

The short, thin and dark Taoist was Immortal Ping. He sneered and said, "Immortal Kou was worried that you would be alone outside, so he asked us to come and find you. We thought that Senior Brother Feng was out there, fighting the devil, but who knew that Senior Brother Feng was actually working as a carpenter here!"

Xi Xianren and the other two immortals were also quite dissatisfied with him. Xi Xianren said, "Brother, you are hiding here. There are no heavenly listeners here. It is extremely difficult for us to find your whereabouts! A lot of things happened during your absence."

Feng Ruotong was surprised and asked quickly.

Xi Xianren said: "Tian Zun had been following you, waiting for the moment when the Demon Emperor would make his move, but Tian Zun has now returned to Despair Hill. Tian Zun is injured."

Feng Ruotong frowned slightly and asked, "When was the Heavenly Venerable injured? Where was he injured? Who could hurt the Heavenly Venerable?"

Xi Xianren said: "When Chen Shi's skeleton was in the underworld, Tianzun was injured. As for who injured him and where he was injured, that is not something we can know."

Feng Ruotong looked strange, and murmured, "Was Chen Shi injured on the day of his skeleton body's tribulation? So, the Heavenly Venerable was injured between his eyebrows, right?"

Xi Xianren said: "We noticed that Tianzun's breath was unstable, and he was obviously injured, but we don't know where Tianzun was injured. Brother, how do you know that Tianzun was injured between his eyebrows? Could it be that Tianzun was injured in the battle with the Demon King?"

“Demon Emperor? How is that possible… Yes, it was the Demon Emperor. Hahahaha! It was indeed the Demon Emperor who chopped off one of Tianzun’s eyes!”

Feng Ruotong laughed out loud, as if he had thought of something extremely funny, and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

The four of them frowned, not knowing why he suddenly laughed.

When his laughter died down, Immortal Ping hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you know the inside story of Tianzun's injury?"

Feng Ruotong suppressed his laughter and said, "I know a little bit about the inside story. This matter is related to me. Hey, Tianzun, hehe..."

Immortal Ping said: "Could it be that you led out the Demon Emperor, and both the Heavenly Lord and the Demon Emperor were injured."

Feng Ruotong shook his head and smiled, "It has nothing to do with this. I did not lure out the Demon King. But Tianzun's injury is indeed related to the Demon King."

He thought of the scene where Chen Shi's skeleton body slashed into Wu Yue with the Tianluo Huaxue Divine Sword, injuring the vertical eye between Tianzun's eyebrows, and his face could not help but look strange. Even if Chen Shi's skeleton body survived the heavenly tribulation, it would not be able to injure Tianzun, but the power of that sword was so terrifying that it finally injured Tianzun!

He even suspected that someone was secretly helping Chen Shi activate the Tianluo Blood-Transforming Divine Sword to plot against Tianzun!

When Xi Xianren saw that he was hiding something, he became even more angry and shouted, "Brother, Kou Xianren and Zhong Wuwang, one is dead and the other is injured."

"what?"

Feng Ruotong's aura suddenly exploded, and he grabbed Xi Xianren's hand and said sternly, "Who died and who was injured? Who did this? Was it Tianzun?"

He is the eldest brother among the Heavenly Dao Immortals in Despair Slope, the first Heavenly Dao Immortal. The Heavenly Dao Immortals that followed entered later than him, but they all merged into the Dao in the True God Dojo, and the merged Dao world is about the same size. Xi Xianren and others originally thought that everyone's cultivation was about the same. But now Xi Xianren was caught by his wrist, and he couldn't use his cultivation. He couldn't help but be shocked: "Senior Brother Feng's strength is far above mine! Could it be that he has entered the next realm?"

He was terrified: "Can we, the immortals of the Heavenly Dao, also enter the next realm? What is the next realm?"

Even for a Heavenly Dao immortal like him, he didn't know what the next realm would be after merging with the Dao. The Heavenly Venerable never told him, he only said that they merged with the Dao in the True God's Dao Field, which was the pinnacle of Heavenly Dao, and it was impossible for them to go any further.

Immortal Xi held back the pain and said, "The immortal who stayed behind at Despair Hill sent us a message through the Heavenly Listener, saying that Immortal Kou and Wuwang went down the mountain to look for you, but they encountered the Demon Emperor. Immortal Kou died, and Wuwang became a fool!"

"impossible!"

Feng Ruotong shook off his hand and said coldly, "The Demon Emperor couldn't have killed Immortal Kou. Someone else must have killed him!" His mind worked quickly and he soon figured out the key point. With a frosty face and a hoarse voice, he said, "Wuwang has merged with the Dao?"

The four immortals were shocked, and Immortal Ping asked, "How did you know?"

Feng Ruotong's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "I already know who the murderer is. This person's target is not Immortal Kou, but Wuwang. He wants to kill Wuwang and destroy the innate Dao fetus, so that Wuwang will not be able to threaten his strength. Immortal Kou was killed in order to protect Wuwang."

He was the one who introduced Immortal Kou to the sect and he became his disciple. The two had a deep relationship. Later, Immortal Kou achieved success in his cultivation and set up his own school, becoming the second Heavenly Dao Immortal. The two then called each other fellow Taoists.

Now that Immortal Kou is dead, he feels extremely sad and angry.

"Brother, who is the murderer?" asked Immortal Ping.

Feng Ruotong's eyes fell on his face, then moved away, scanning the faces of the other three immortals, and said in a deep voice: "Tianzun."

The four of them were shocked and said in unison: "Impossible!"

"Tian Zun is the culprit who destroyed the Shang Dynasty and the source of evil."

Feng Ruotong sneered, "The misty moon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the eye between his eyebrows. Chen Shi survived the calamity with his skeleton body, and Tianzun killed him with the misty moon, but was injured by Chen Shi with the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. I was there at the time!"

The four immortals looked at each other and thought, "Brother Feng must be crazy."

Feng Ruotong said: "After Tianzun was injured, he returned to Despair Hill to heal his wounds. He was worried that the Demon King would take the opportunity to attack him. Hehe, he is much less courageous than I expected."

Immortal Ping coughed and said, "Brother Feng, you have been away from Despair Hill for too long. Come back with us."

The other three immortals nodded.

Feng Ruotong said to himself: "Zhong Wuwang practiced a new method and became an immortal. He must not have used the True God Dao Field to achieve the Tao, but found another way. Tianzun was afraid, so he took advantage of the time when Kou Xianren brought Wuwang to find me, and took action on the road to kill the two of them!"

He walked back and forth with a slight frown on his face, whispering, "But why did Wuwang survive? Logically speaking, Tianzun would not leave this loophole..."

He was puzzled, not knowing that Zhong Wuwang was also killed by Tianzun at that time, and only came back to life thanks to the immortal magic.

The immortal magic was truly unique and beyond his understanding.

As the four of them saw that his words were becoming more and more outrageous, they looked at each other, then quietly dispersed and stood around Feng Ruotong.

Immortal Xi said, "Brother Feng, you have been in contact with the Great Priest of the Demon Capital for too long, and your mind has been affected by his magic. Come with us back to the Despair Slope, and ask the Heavenly Venerable to dispel your evil nature."

Each of the four men increased their magic power to the extreme, and a magic sword flew up from behind each of them, freezing the surrounding heaven and earth, leaving Feng Ruotong with no way to escape.

Immortal Ping said: "Brother, don't resist. We just want you to go back to Despair Hill with us!"

The four were about to take action when Feng Ruotong suddenly shook his body slightly and leaned his shoulder on Pingxianren's chest.

Immortal Ping groaned, and with a loud bang, the wall was crashed through by his body. Then two huge waves rose up on the surface of the Tianshui River. A mountaintop a hundred miles away shook, and Immortal Ping was knocked into the mountain!

At the same time as Immortal Ping flew out, Feng Ruotong's other hand had already pressed on the face of another immortal, and slammed it hard on the ground, causing the earth to rumble and sink!
Immortal Xi didn't think twice and raised his magic sword to attack, but there was a loud bang, and the third immortal was knocked away, leaving only him standing in front of Feng Ruotong.

"Brother, please wait!"

Immortal Xi resisted the urge to attack, and said in a deep voice, "Brother, tell me your guess, maybe I can be convinced!"

Feng Ruotong slapped him with his palm, shaking his soul, and then he moved his five fingers repeatedly, sealing his physical body and soul, making it difficult for him to mobilize his magic power.

Xi Xianren was shocked and angry: "Brother, you are really crazy!"

At this time, several Heavenly Daoists who lived next door heard the noise and rushed in. Immortal Xi saw this and hurriedly shouted, "You guys, Senior Brother Feng is crazy, leave!"

The Heavenly Daoists greeted Feng Ruotong and asked, "Uncle Master, what happened?"

Feng Ruotong picked up Xi Xianren and threw him to them, saying, "Tianzun is the master of Wuyue. Tianzun's vertical eye between his eyebrows was blinded by us. He didn't believe me, so I captured him."

Immortal Xi laughed in anger and said to the Heavenly Daoists, "Listen, Senior Brother Feng has gone crazy..."

"Master Wu Yue is the Heavenly Lord?"

The Heavenly Dao practitioners were only slightly surprised, then accepted the fact. One of them quickly said, "Uncle Xi has been deceived by the Heavenly Lord and is stubborn and unrepentant. What should we do with him?"

Even though Xi Xianren had a good temper, he was so angry that he shouted, "Deal with your grandmother's legs!"

Feng Ruotong flew over and shouted, "There are three more, deal with them all!"

The sound of the collision of Taoism and magic came from afar, sometimes left, sometimes right. After a while, Immortal Ping and the other two immortals were thrown down.

The Heavenly Traveler took out the immortal rope and tied up the four immortals tightly.

A woman said, "Since the uncles are so stubborn, why not just send them on their way?"

"What road?"

Immortal Ping was so angry that he almost vomited blood and shouted, "You guys have also gone crazy along with Feng Ruotong! You have been influenced by the Demon Emperor, turned into demons, and murdered your fellow disciples!"

Feng Ruotong said: "If I fight with them, it will definitely attract the heavenly listeners. Take them with you and go back to the world of the living to meet the Demon King."

Xi Xianren was extremely angry and yelled, "Feng Ruotong, you really have colluded with the Demon Emperor! You son of a bitch, I will fight you to death today!"

Feng Ruotong stretched out his hand and pointed, and Xi Xianren's magic sword flew up, turned into a soft silk thread, and circled around Xi Xianren's neck.

"If you dare to scold me again, I will chop off your head." Feng Ruotong said.

Immortal Xi didn't dare to say anything more.

Feng Ruotong led everyone back to the world of the living. This place corresponded to the Qianyang Mountain in the world of the living. Feng Ruotong immediately flew up and led them to the imperial capital Xinxiang not far away.

The four immortals were stunned: "The Demon King is not in the underworld?"

Not long after, they saw Chen Shi and were all stunned.
