I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

On their way to the ruins of Guanghan Palace. Yue Ye and his group.

"Can that forbidden being find me anytime, anywhere, and know my location? Even if I return to the Nine Realms, is it the same?"

After listening to Shi Wuchen's analysis, Yue Ye was astonished and felt a chill that wouldn't go away.

“Yes, it can now sense your location anytime, anywhere, so we can’t teleport there directly,” Shi Wuchen said.

As they spoke, a golden light paved the way in front of the group, capable of blocking out evil forces.

Yue Ye recalled the skeleton's last words, telling him not to sleep too soundly.

"If we don't get rid of him, we'll never have peace in this life."

Yue Ye realized how urgent the situation was; he didn't want to be inexplicably killed one day.

"How do you plan to deal with that forbidden creature?" Yue Ye placed his hopes on the Western Sect.

Shi Wuchen smiled calmly, and a small golden cymbal appeared in his palm.

The golden bell shines brilliantly, its surface covered with intricate Sanskrit characters, as if countless Buddhas were chanting scriptures, exuding an aura of solemnity and holiness.

“No forbidden creature below the level of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone can escape this gong,” Shi Wuchen said.

Yue Ye was curious about how the strength of forbidden creatures was classified.

"The strength of forbidden beings depends on the level of the forbidden zone. Forbidden zones are divided into different types: Calamity, Chaos, Divine Forbidden Zone, Domain Extinction, and Dao Annihilation."

The entire lunar forbidden zone is a realm of absolute power.

Beneath each different level of forbidden zone, there are different forbidden beings, similar to class ranks.

There are unconscious wanderers, and there are those who linger in a certain place.

Above that are the unseen killers, such as that forbidden being with the sword, and now this skeleton.

Yue Ye frowned, somewhat confused.

"Can't you tell the specific strength levels? Because that's the fact. This classification is used by our Western religion to contain forbidden beings." Shi Wuchen understood what he was thinking.

"In short, you're confident you can contain it, right?" Yue Ye said.

"Yes."

Shi Wuchen found it rather boring; these guys from the Great Crimson Heaven were really simple-minded.

His initial target upon arriving on the moon was that terrifying swordsman.

Unfortunately, the swordsman has disappeared without a trace and cannot be found anywhere.

Luckily, an interesting skeleton appeared, otherwise the trip would have been in vain.

Shi Wuchen put away the golden gong, looking confident and composed.

Soon, they arrived at the outer perimeter of the Moon Palace.

Shi Wuchen waved his hand to signal that he should not be anxious, and then Wu Jie, Wu Kong, and Wu Nian, who were following behind him, stepped forward.

He muttered incantations as he explored the ruins of the Moon Palace.

“This ruin is very suspicious. The golden ocean that flowed there before might have been an illusion,” Shi Wuchen said.

"Is it also a forbidden zone for life? Cultivators from the lower realms can meditate in there, it shouldn't be like that," Yue Ye said skeptically.

“You still underestimate the taboo.” Shi Wuchen didn’t intend to explain.

After about fifteen minutes, Wu Jie, Wu Kong, and Wu Nian repeatedly checked and confirmed that there was no ominous sign in Guanghan Palace.

"Ah."

Shi Wuchen nodded slightly, then gestured to Yue Ye beside him to use the Immortal's Guidance.

Yue Ye thought to himself that these people were being overly cautious and that it was unnecessary.

Then, guided by the immortal, he confirmed that Shen Ming and Yun Xi were still inside.

"Let's take action," Shi Wuchen said.

At this moment, Yue Ye felt somewhat insecure.

There were fewer than three Great Crimson Heaven cultivators following him, plus four from the Western Sect, making a total of eight.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, the eight entered the ruins of the Moon Palace.

They found Shen Ming and Yun Xi next to a well without much difficulty.

The two had no intention of escaping, or rather, they had nowhere to escape.

They came from the lower realm and had nowhere to go on the moon.

“It is indeed still within the realm of humanity.” Shi Wuchen glanced at Shen Ming and Yun Xi and said with interest.

Yue Ye snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

He knew, of course, that he could annihilate cultivators in the realm of humanity with a mere wave of his hand.

Even if it means having others die to hold off the skeleton, they can still succeed.

"He also possesses a special power that allows him to resist the crimson fire."

However, Yue Ye still shared this information.

“I know, it’s that immortal phoenix, which was shown up in the ancient city of the moon before.”

Shi Wuchen came prepared and had gathered sufficient intelligence.

They didn't hide their conversation from Shen Ming and Yun Xi.

Shen Ming wasn't too surprised to hear that his trump card had been revealed, since so many people in the Ancient City of the Moon had seen the Immortal Phoenix.

“Heaven-Mending Divine Child, as an extreme Dao woman, you have ordered forbidden beings to kill more than ten Great Crimson Heaven cultivators. This is an evil deed, and the Heaven-Mending Dao and Penglai Immortal Island will probably not tolerate you,” Shi Wuchen said.

"It's none of your business to point fingers here," Shen Ming said.

He had already grasped the meaning of Penglai Immortal Island and the Heaven-Mending Path.

Let him do it. After all, you are the reincarnation of Tianpeng, capable of quelling chaos and turmoil. You have nothing to fear from these small fry.

“Once the Divine Court returns to maintain order, will the Heaven-Mending Path and Penglai Immortal Island still tolerate you?” Shi Wuchen asked.

"Are you here to fight, or to chat?" Shen Ming asked.

Shi Wuchen curled his lip; the people he encountered today were truly vulgar.

“If you wish to fight, I’m afraid you’d better improve your cultivation level as soon as possible, otherwise I really can’t bear to bully the weak,” said Shi Wuchen.

Shen Ming laughed. That's more like it. Even with a shaved head, he still has emotions and desires, and he knows how to be sarcastic.

"Master Bone".

"Understood! This time, we won't let a single one escape!"

Bone Grandpa emerged from the ruins and shouted, "Don't think that you were the one who chased me away. That was just a piece of my bone. Now, I'll show you what taboo really means."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bone Lord's body grew infinitely taller, reaching a height of a thousand feet. His bones turned as black as iron, exuding a chilling ghostly aura, and the surrounding void emitted bursts of cracking sounds.

“Go!” Shi Wuchen dared not be careless.

Suddenly, the golden light intensified, and a golden cymbal radiating holy Buddhist light descended from the sky, with intricate Sanskrit characters flowing on it, as if a thousand Buddhas were chanting in unison.

The golden bell trembled slightly and instantly split into two halves, one on the left and one on the right, just like the division of Yin and Yang in the Heavenly Dao.

With Bone Lord sandwiched between them, the two halves of the golden gong seemed to merge like heaven and earth, slowly compressing each other.

"You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. I know your Grandpa Bone likes being pinched." Grandpa Bone braced himself against the golden gong, indicating that this wasn't enough.

"May the Buddha's light shine upon all, and may all evil be destroyed!" As Shi Wuchen uttered the Buddha's name, a holy golden light slowly spread out.

Jin Hui ignited Bone Lord's entire skeleton, and the Golden Bell unleashed its power once more, causing Bone Lord's body to shrink.

"It's that golden radiance again!"

Ainz was helpless; he was being restrained by this power.

At that moment, it felt as if a heart was beating out of thin air below his sternum.

The next second, endless purple flames erupted from within, dispelling all the golden light.

"Huh? Why are you helping me?" Bone Lord realized that it was Emperor Tuomogu who had made the move.

"Hahaha, help you? Don't be ridiculous! Other people's failures are my joy!"

Dhammaguti laughed maniacally, seemingly deriving boundless pleasure from it.
