"My good brother, don't worry about how I got out. Just remember one thing: I... am here to take revenge on you... Hahaha..." Zhu Youwen laughed wildly, and with his laughter, the entire Jiao Lan Palace actually trembled, revealing his extraordinary strength.

"Revenge? You need to have the ability to do that. I can imprison you the first time, and I can imprison you the second time as well," Zhu Yougui said with a sneer. The reason he didn't kill Zhu Youwen the first time was to obtain the first volume of the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art from him. After all, he himself was cultivating the second volume of this technique, and without cultivating both volumes at the same time, one could never reach the highest level of this divine art.

However, although he spoke nicely, his expression was unusually solemn. His talent was not as good as Zhu Youwen's. Although he and Zhu Youwen had both cultivated the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art incompletely, his strength was much weaker than Zhu Youwen's.

He just didn't know when Zhu Youwen had come out, because his focus had been on Li Xingyun these past few days. So he decided to take a gamble; perhaps Zhu Youwen had just come out and his strength hadn't yet returned to its peak.

"Really? Okay, then let me see if you've improved over the years, hahaha."

Zhu Youwen burst into laughter again at Zhu Yougui's words. He could tell at a glance that Zhu Yougui's strength had hardly improved, and he looked at him with disdain.

Zhu Yougui hated being looked down upon, especially after he had trained himself to the point of being neither human nor ghost. Seeing the disdain in Zhu Youwen's eyes, he was immediately enraged. However, he did not lose his mind. He raised his hand and waved it forward, ordering his men: "All of you, attack!"

He also had over a thousand Xuanming Sect assassins under his command. Although they were just cannon fodder in front of experts, they could still deplete some of Zhu Youwen's physical strength and power.

To his surprise, as he swung his hand down hard, only half of the more than a thousand Xuanming Sect assassins around Jiaolan Palace obeyed his command and moved, while the other half simply stood aside and watched coldly.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yougui angrily asked, "Are you planning a rebellion?"

At this moment, Li Xingyun, inside the prison cart, suddenly sneered, "Do you think I'm the only one with undercover agents around me?"

"What did you say?" Zhu Yougui asked, looking puzzled.

"You'll find out soon enough." Li Xingyun said, standing up from the prison cart and shouting, "I am Li Xingyun, a direct descendant of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. All you members of the Bad People of Tang, step forward!"

Immediately, the Xuanming Sect assassins, who had been coldly observing just moments before, burst into cheers: "Hey, long live!"

Next, these undercover agents of the Xuanming Sect began to eliminate the real assassins of the Xuanming Sect. After dealing with them, they all knelt down before Li Xingyun and shouted, "We, the agents of the Bad People, pay our respects to Your Highness."

"This... how is this possible?" Zhu Yougui was stunned. He looked around and found that Meng Po, who had always been loyal to him, had quietly left him and was bowing to Li Xingyun. Only Hei Bai Wuchang was still standing straight behind him.

"Hahaha, Zhu Yougui, Zhu Yougui, you've managed the Xuanming Sect for so many years, yet you don't even have a single confidant. You're truly a useless piece of trash. No wonder Father Emperor is unwilling to pass the throne to you." Although Zhu Youwen was also surprised, he hated Zhu Yougui the most right now and began to mock him again.

"Shut up." Faced with Zhu Youwen's ridicule, Zhu Yougui retorted angrily, "Who said I don't have any trusted confidants? Black and White Impermanence, kill those traitors for me!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Haoling, the Black Impermanence among the Black and White Impermanence, chuckled and said, "Emperor of the Underworld, I'm truly sorry, we have always been the Ghost King's people."

After saying that, he and Bai Wuchang flew out from behind him, one on each side, and stood behind Ghost King Zhu Youwen. They bowed to Zhu Youwen and said, "Black and White Impermanence greet Your Highness."

"Hahaha...cough cough..." This was perhaps the happiest day of Zhu Youwen's life; he laughed so hard he could barely breathe.

After laughing for a while, he looked at Zhu Yougui, whose face had turned pale with anger, in front of Jiaolan Hall, and coldly asked, "Zhu Youwen, you have been abandoned by everyone. Do you have anything else to say?"

……

(Never mind, I'll just keep writing like this, it's guaranteed to be enjoyable)

Chapter 437! Chaos

(Damn it, my mind was flowing with inspiration this afternoon, but I'm completely dumbfounded this evening. I really shouldn't have been lazy when I was inspired...)

……

At this moment, Zhu Yougui was already trembling with rage and could no longer utter a word. He glared angrily at the people around him who had betrayed him, his fists, which were the size of a child's, clenched so tightly they cracked. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air, and then he roared and swung his palm at Zhu Youwen.

"Zhu Youwen, I'll kill you first, then I'll kill these traitors."

As expected of someone with the strength of a Great Celestial Realm expert, Zhu Yougui's move caused a chilling wind to blow across the plaza in front of Jiaolan Palace, accompanied by ghostly wails and howls. This was precisely due to the true energy characteristics cultivated from the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art.

Zhu Youwen also cultivated the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, although he only had half of it. However, he was exceptionally talented and a martial arts fanatic, so he was deeply immersed in martial arts. His strength was already above the Great Heaven Rank, which was far beyond what Zhu Yougui, who was eyeing the throne and neglecting his cultivation, could compare to. Seeing that Zhu Yougui was recklessly attacking him, he snorted coldly, pushed his legs hard, and pressed the already sunken ground down several inches, before soaring into the sky.

The shockwave generated by his violent leap almost made the Black and White Impermanence, whose strength had reached the Lesser Celestial Realm, lose their footing. They could only retreat dozens of meters in terror to avoid being affected by the aftershocks of their battle.

To be fair, although Zhu Youwen's strength was above the Great Heaven level, Zhu Yougui was also a top expert among the Great Heaven level. He could not gain the upper hand, and for a short time, the two were evenly matched.

On Shen Ye's side, watching the two brothers fight, Lu Linxuan and Shangguan Yunque couldn't hold back any longer.

Lu Linxuan was alright; before she made a move, she still asked, "Brother Shen, let's take this opportunity to rescue our senior brother!"

However, Shangguan Yunque was worried about Li Xingyun's safety, so he actually flew directly towards Li Xingyun.

Before he even arrived, dozens of undercover agents from the Bad Guys rushed towards Li Xingyun, intending to take this opportunity to rescue him.

However, while the Ghost King and the Underworld Emperor were fighting, the Black and White Impermanence kept an eye on Li Xingyun. When they saw someone trying to save him, they immediately flew over to stop them.

Not everyone among the Bad Guys is a Heavenly Realm expert; most are only Star Realm, and even fewer are Great Star Realm. However, Black and White Impermanence secretly returned to the Sword Pavilion more than a month ago, taking away the corpses of the Second and Third Yama Kings and absorbing their remaining power. Later, they ambushed the First, Fourth, and Fifth Yama Kings, draining their power as well. Their strength had already reached the Lesser Heavenly Realm. In addition, after Ghost King Zhu Youwen came out, he used a special method to stabilize their realm, and they even showed a faint trend of breaking through to the Middle Heavenly Realm. Therefore, even though there were only two of them, they were able to overpower the dozens of undercover Bad Guys.

Seeing their companions were no match, more undercover agents from the Bad Guys also made their move. However, the Black and White Impermanence were disciples of the Ghost King Zhu Youwen and had learned Zhu Youwen's martial arts that allowed them to absorb the true energy and essence of their opponents. They absorbed the true energy and power of the undercover agents from the same time as they fought. Even though they could not absorb it all, the sheer number of undercover agents present still allowed them to break through to the Middle Heaven level at the same time.

Feeling the surging power within her, Bai Wuchang said with a charming laugh, "Hahaha, come on, come on, the more of you come, the faster our strength will grow."

At this point, those at the Zhongtian level were already considered masters in the martial arts world. Facing the siege of undercover agents from the Bad Guys who only had the strength of the Xing level, they actually handled the situation with ease.

The undercover agents, though fearless, were at a disadvantage due to the difference in strength. Moreover, since the Black and White Impermanence could absorb people's power and essence, they were caught in a dilemma, unable to attack or not attack. They could only surround the two and attack them with various ranged means, although the effect was not significant.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yunque arrived at this time. As one of the best in the Middle Heaven Realm, although he was no match for the Underworld King Zhu Yougui, he was still capable of fighting against the Black and White Impermanence who had just broken through to the Middle Heaven Realm.

However, facing two opponents, both of whom were at the Middle Heaven level, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. But since he was at the Middle Heaven level, he wouldn't be able to have his power and true energy absorbed by the Black and White Impermanence like the others.

Seeing that even Shangguan Yunque was no match for him, Lu Linxuan could only suppress his urge to save people and turn his gaze to Shen Ye.

After all, she was only at the Great Star Rank. This was only after the Empress shared the Fire Spirit Mushroom with her and Ji Ruxue some time ago. Otherwise, even if she had cultivated the Black Willow Heart Technique that Uncle Yang gave her before she left Hidden Edge Valley, it would have been impossible for her to advance from the Middle Star Rank to the Great Star Rank in just one month.

At this moment, Shen Ye was deep in thought and did not notice Lu Linxuan's gaze. Seeing this, Lu Linxuan had no choice but to remind him, "Brother Shen, it seems that Shangguan Yunque is about to collapse."

Hearing Lu Linxuan's voice, Shen Ye was startled out of his thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Don't rush, there are still people who haven't made their move yet!"

"Who else...?" Lu Linxuan asked curiously.

Shen Ye looked around and said in a deep voice, "They...are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures leaped up from behind the walls surrounding Jiaolan Palace and rushed towards Li Xingyun. The one leading them was none other than Zhang Zifan, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

Behind Zhang Zifan, to his left and right, were two figures, one tall and one short, namely Li Cunzhong, the leader of the Loyalty Sect of Tongwen Hall, and Li Cunxiao, the leader of the Filial Piety Sect.

"Sigh, this is getting more and more exciting, and... more and more chaotic." Seeing them appear, Shen Ye sighed inwardly; the plot had completely gone awry.

He had been pondering one thing: was the current situation due to his appearance, which caused a serious change in the plot of this world, or was it because the Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang was taking advantage of the chaotic plot and the unpredictable future to deliberately muddy the waters and change Li Xingyun's fate by using heaven-defying methods?

After all, Yuan Tiangang was an expert in divination and knew everything that would happen hundreds of years later. He also knew that fate could not be defied and that Li Xingyun was destined to die. However, as someone who liked to go against the will of heaven, and even in the original drama, he sacrificed his own life to save Li Xingyun, who should have died in accordance with history. So it's no wonder that Shen Ye would think that way.

"But why did you make me take action? Or do you want me to stir things up even more, and then defy fate and change the future of this world?"

After this terrifying thought occurred to him, Shen Ye lowered his eyes and pondered, not even glancing at the square. With the people from Tongwen Hall present, it was only a matter of time before the Black and White Impermanence were defeated.

Seeing that Shen Ye had fallen into deep thought again, Lu Linxuan anxiously nudged him and muttered, "Brother Shen, what are you thinking about?"

Just as her thoughts were starting to clear up, they were interrupted again. Shen Ye tapped her head lightly, slightly annoyed, and said, "Can't you think about what color your underwear is today?"

……

Chapter 438! They really dare to gamble!

……

Although the two had done everything except for the last step, the girl still shyly lowered her head and whispered, "Pink."

Then she pouted and said, "Besides, Brother Shen, didn't you already see it yesterday?"

"Can't you think about it again after you've seen it?" Shen Ye said jokingly, but he didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze to the square.

At this moment, with the addition of the Tongwen Hall's forces, especially Li Cunxiao with the strength of a Great Celestial, the Black and White Impermanence were almost instantly defeated. However, their ability to escape was astonishing. After each taking a punch from Li Cunxiao, they coughed up blood and used the force of Li Cunxiao's punch to hide far away.

However, just as Tongwen Hall and others defeated the Black and White Impermanence, Ghost King Zhu Youwen also defeated the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui. The "small" body, like a child, was tightly held in Zhu Youwen's hand, looking like an adult bullying a child. If this scene were in modern times, it would probably cause a lot of heated discussion.

Zhu Youwen glanced sideways at the Bad Guys and Tongwen Hall personnel who had already rescued Li Xingyun from the prison cart, and curled his lip in disdain. Then, his gaze returned to Zhu Yougui, whom he was holding, and he said coldly, "Brother, do you have any last words?"

"Not killing you back then is my biggest regret," Zhu Yougui said through gritted teeth, then angrily spat in Zhu Youwen's face.

Zhu Youwen never expected Zhu Yougui to disregard his status and resort to such a move. Caught off guard, he failed to dodge. He wiped the blood-stained saliva from his face and said with a sinister grin, "I will write those words on your tombstone."

After saying that, he clenched his other fist and slammed it into Zhu Yougui's head, smashing Zhu Yougui's unusually large head to pieces, just like smashing a watermelon with a hammer.

He casually tossed aside Zhu Yougui's corpse, then, shaking off the blood and brain matter on his hands, he turned to look at Li Xingyun and the others. With his hands behind his back, he said, "Gentlemen, since you're here, then stay. After all, the reputation of our Great Liang as a nation of benevolent fathers and filial sons, and of brotherly love and respect, cannot be ruined. Someone has to bear the guilt of patricide and fratricide."

Even though Zhu Yougui was behind all of this, as a member of the Liang royal family, he still wanted to save face for the royal family.

"puff!"

Hearing this from a distance, Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh. What a perfect picture of filial piety and brotherly love! The son killed his father and the brother killed his brother so readily. It just goes to show how shameless those in power are.

With him in such a state, Li Xingyun and the others facing Zhu Youwen could no longer hold back. After the undercover agents of the Bad People helped him remove the shackles from his hands and feet, Li Xingyun sneered and said, "Your Zhu family is truly shameless. The father murdered the emperor, the son murdered the father, and the younger brother murdered the elder brother. Heh, I really don't know how the world will laugh at you after this gets out."

"You..." Zhu Youwen was furious upon hearing this, but he couldn't utter any words of rebuttal.

However, the people behind Shen Ye and Li Xingyun looked at Li Xingyun with strange expressions.

Lu Linxuan whispered to Shen Ye, "Senior brother is really confused. Why is he cursing his own ancestors?"

"Brother Li... he really is... as pure as ever." Shen Ye couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. This old Li had obviously forgotten how his ancestors started out and what they had done.

If it were anyone else, they would probably seize the loophole in Li Xingyun's words and use the opportunity to refute and humiliate him severely. But Zhu Youwen used to be just a martial arts fanatic. Although he became a little smarter after being ambushed by his older brother Zhu Yougui, he was still basically single-minded. After his outburst of anger, his gaze turned cold.

"No matter what you say, you're going to die here anyway. Once you're dead, how will the world know what my Zhu Liang royal family has done?"

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Li Xingyun and the others. Perhaps due to extreme anger, the ground beneath his feet caved in with each step he took, making him look incredibly powerful.

Although Li Xingyun was alarmed by Zhu Youwen's imposing manner, he still retorted, "But if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Zhu Youwen, after today, your Zhu family will be a laughing stock of the world. No, you are already a laughing stock, after all, your father was a traitor... a subject murdering his emperor."

"You're courting death!" The ancients valued filial piety. No matter how dissatisfied he was with his father, Zhu Youwen couldn't hold back after Li Xingyun said that. He immediately pushed off with his feet and charged towards Li Xingyun like a cannonball, his hands clenching into fists, black true energy condensing in his palms.
