After killing the centipede demon, Gu Yuchuan returned to Mount Shu. However, at this time, Mount Shu only had a few scattered disciples, all of whom were beginners in the path of immortality, or even in the Qi Refining stage. They were practically powerless.

Anyone with even a modicum of fighting ability descended the mountain to vanquish demons and monsters.

Wouldn't this make it easier for Gu Yuchuan to do some underhanded things? After all, he and these two powerful human beings are essentially enemies.

Gu Yuchuan's goal is to devour the entire Liaozhai world, not to help humanity cleanse the world. He won't get himself involved in the role while he's acting.

In the mortal realm, the only demon more powerful than Xinghe Sword Immortal and Abbot Xuanyou is the Centipede Demon. Without the Centipede Demon, the two of them would be able to cleanse the mortal realm.

They hadn't dared to act before because of the pressure from the centipede demon. The demon was too powerful; even the seventh-level Nascent Soul dragon had died at its hands, let alone the two of them.

The Star River Sword Immortal of Mount Shu still remembers that ten years ago, when Jiaolong was the water god of the Canglan River, the world's largest river. With Jiaolong guarding it, the weather was favorable.

However, even such a powerful dragon was devoured by the centipede demon right in its own territory. How could the two of them not be terrified? They could only hide behind closed doors. That's why the centipede demon was able to act so recklessly in the mortal realm and even take over the royal family.

Now that the centipede demon is dead, they naturally want to cleanse the mortal realm. They also want to restore the world to the time when righteousness reigned supreme. They don't want to continue hiding things. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. Why should they suffer such a miserable fate?

A month later, Xinghe Sword Immortal and Abbot Xuanyou finally returned. Most of the powerful demons in the mortal realm were dead, though some were still alive. However, these minor demons could be dealt with by their disciples. Now they could plan their next move: attacking the underworld.

Upon seeing Gu Yuchuan, both of them adopted a very humble attitude, even bowing deeply in greeting.

"The Dragon God's great righteousness helped us to annihilate the demons in the mortal realm, restoring peace to the world. On behalf of all the human people in the world, we thank the Dragon God. If it weren't for you, this place would probably have become the domain of demons in just a few years, and we humans would have become their food. We have no way to repay the Dragon God's great kindness and virtue."

Gu Yuchuan waved his hand, telling them to get up. The more grateful they are to him now, the more they will hate him in the end.

“Gentlemen, we cannot be so happy now. Don’t forget, the underworld is still in the hands of demons. If we cannot take it back, given the underworld’s influence on the mortal realm, we can never kill all the demons. In fact, many humans will be born as demons. I believe you understand this.”

He wasn't exaggerating; the Six Paths of Reincarnation can have a significant impact on the human world. However, they didn't know how much of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation the Black Mountain Demon could control.

However, we certainly can't think of this in a positive light; we have to think of it in a negative light. The negative aspect is that this Black Mountain Demon really does have some control over the Six Paths of Reincarnation and can really influence the mortal realm.

The two exchanged another glance, both seeing apprehension in each other's eyes. But going to the underworld to fight the Lord of the Underworld seemed a bit too absurd, almost like suicide.

Gu Yuchuan noticed their hesitation and decided to add fuel to the fire.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you give the Black Mountain Demon ten years, he will be able to devour the human world and turn the entire world into the underworld. If you are really willing, then I will go myself."

After saying that, he stood up abruptly.

Now, the two had no choice but to believe it. After all, in their eyes, Gu Yuchuan was a savior sent forth by the Heavenly Dao. What he said was, in fact, what the Heavenly Dao said. If the Heavenly Dao said the Black Mountain Demon was so powerful, then it was true, and they couldn't refute it even a little. But, this Black Mountain Demon was just too powerful!

Abbot Xuanyou stepped forward: "Dragon God, we are naturally willing to subdue demons and monsters, but our strength is already inferior to that of the Black Mountain Demon. If we were to fight in the underworld, our chances of winning would be even smaller."

Gu Yuchuan feigned anger: "I knew it. You're all just scared. You're useless. Let me tell you, I'm the main force. You just need to hold the line for me. In the end, I can even self-destruct and take this Black Mountain Demon with me."

He was breathing heavily and looked extremely angry.

"That's all I have to say. If you can't seize this opportunity, then perish with the world. In three days, I will be heading to the underworld. If you're going, gather your troops and come with me to fight. If you're not going, then that's it. I have nothing more to say. Farewell."

He left without looking back at them, but he wasn't flustered at all. He was very certain of one thing: they only had one choice, which was to fight alongside him.

This is their only chance; if they miss it, they will only face death. He's not in a hurry.

After he left, the two looked at each other and saw deep sorrow in each other's eyes.

"Brother Dao, what should we do?" Abbot Xuanyou was completely at a loss.

However, the Star River Sword Immortal had made up his mind, his eyes revealing a certain determination.

"What else can we do? We have no choice. If we don't go with the Dragon God this time, the world will not be able to give birth to the next savior. Anyway, losing is just death. Doing nothing is also waiting to die. We might as well fight. It would be worthy of our current level of cultivation."

It must be said that this Star River Sword Immortal is a qualified righteous master, at least in the current situation, he is able to stand up.

He made his decision, and the abbot naturally wouldn't make any other choice.

“Alright, fellow Daoist, we’ve both been retreating for so many years. This time, we can’t retreat. We must fight the demons to the death. I’m going back to muster our troops and generals. Also, take the treasures that we’ve been keeping at the bottom of the sect. Anyway, if we fail, we’ll all die. There’s no point in hiding them.”

After saying that, he left, as did the Star River Sword Immortal; they both wanted some time to muster their troops.

Three days passed quickly. Gu Yuchuan stood at the foot of Mount Tai, the passage between the human world and the underworld. He knew very well that the other party would come.

Sure enough, a dense surge of righteous magical power came from afar, and many cultivators had arrived here, led by those two.

A smile appeared on Gu Yuchuan's face: "I knew that the two great powers would not watch the world perish. I thank you all. Are you ready? Today, we, the righteous path, will truly fight the demons. We will surely be victorious. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good, and today will be no different!"
