Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

The elders and disciples, looking at the barrier in front of them, struck it with extreme fear.

Their power struck the barrier, and the pale red barrier rippled like the surface of a lake.

Qiongqi moved with impunity, its claws striking with incredible speed. If you were lucky, you'd lose an arm and be able to run away; if you were unlucky, you'd lose a leg and be able to hop away.

The unlucky guy... got snapped in two by a single swipe of his paw.

His upper body flew up, his eyes still filled with fear.

Amidst this bloody scene, Qiongqi's eyes grew even more fervent.

Often, she chose to watch the show, hoping to give her master the opportunity to hone his soldiers' skills.

For example, Buzhou Mountain—she had long wanted to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

But that time, she still chose to remain an observer.

Now, after a long time, we are finally fighting a bloody battle on the battlefield.

Blood enveloped Qiongqi, making him shrouded in a bloody aura.

After that, the deathly aura of Ruyuan gradually emerged.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, a streak of light crashed down from the sky.

This stream of light was even more imposing than the previous Overlord.

The Taotie crashed directly onto the battlefield, turning the unfortunate souls around it into mincemeat.

A crimson wave swept across the surroundings, and the Taotie's figure vanished as a wisp of blood.

The blood-red, claw-like cracks swept across with such force that any unfortunate souls it touched would be turned into minced meat.

Compared to Qiongqi's swift and decisive attack, Taotie was clearly a bit too rough with its strength.

This also aroused the dissatisfaction of Taotie.

The gluttonous beast, which was opening its mouth wide to catch severed limbs and fragments, glanced at the Taotie and shook its head.

"You have no image to maintain, it's really embarrassing."

Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, muttered to himself.

In his view, the Taotie's behavior was a complete waste of food.

If he wanted to eat the people killed by the taotie, wouldn't he have to stick out his tongue and lick the ground?

The younger brother is not as thoughtful and cute as the younger sister.

Look at Qiongqi, it's so convenient for him to eat.

However, the Taotie quickly vomited up the severed limbs.

"Bah, it tastes really bad."

The gluttonous beast vomited up all its food, and then spat out a few mouthfuls of phlegm.

The flesh of this group of people not only smelled foul, but it was also sour.

It's better to be a hair on Kang's body.

"The food at the Prince's mansion suits me better."

After saying this, Taotie also moved.

He slammed his claw into the ground.

Blood energy surged into the sky, and the Taotie's figure disappeared into the blood energy.

The next instant, an elder of the sect was directly grasped by a muscular, powerful hand.

"what!!!"

The terrifying screams caused the fleeing disciples to temporarily halt their movements.

They saw it: blood-red beast claws suddenly appearing in the night.

Only the oldest, most primal power emanates from it.

As a tooth-grinding creaking sound rang out, bones were squeezed into flesh, and the muffled thud sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

If it weren't for the need to hone the soldiers, the Four Fiends alone could sweep away most of the top-tier tribes.

These four demon emperors are actually subordinates of Prince An.

Taotie released his grip, leaving only a pool of flesh stuck to his palm.

At this moment, the ferocious beast, known for its gluttony, shook its hand.

The minced meat splattered onto the ground with a soft thud.

Seeing this scene, the Emperor of Fengdu subconsciously slapped himself.

Did he read that correctly?

The Taotie... it's not eating people anymore?

All I can say is that the food at the Prince's mansion was simply too good.

The food given to Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, has made him very picky about food.

As the Taotie disappeared, the other sect leaders and elders came to their senses and began to flee in terror.

This terrified the other disciples even more, and their actions became increasingly intense.

As night fell, Chaos looked down at the scene below, a sense of hunting pleasure washing over him.

The Dao Domain he set up could continuously absorb the essence of living beings.

The more they struggle now, the faster they will die.

As the leader of the Four Fiends, Chaos is all about using his brain.

Although he wasn't as shrewd as Qiongqi, he had a strong sense of the big picture.

The Emperor of Fengdu looked at the four fiends wreaking havoc on the battlefield and then withdrew his gaze.

Then, his eyes lit up.

Not far away, a dark red halberd silently pierced the ground.

The black and red luster shimmered slightly, exuding the aura of celestial soldiers.

Inside the Overlord's Halberd, Yu Ji was already numb.

The second time.

When the King of Chu chose not to cross the river, she dismembered herself to follow him in death.

This time, the Overlord had only been in existence for a short time before he returned.

Yu Ji was still in a state of confusion.

The next instant, the yin energy brought Yu Ji back to her senses.

Yu Ji was shocked and immediately struggled to get up.

But the yin energy was incredibly powerful, directly imprisoning her.

Yu Ji looked outside in horror and saw the Emperor of Fengdu dressed in white, looking like a handsome young gentleman.

"Hehe, heavenly soldiers!"

The Emperor of Fengdu looked at the Overlord Halberd and subconsciously rubbed his hands together. Wasn't the credit already his?

Seeing the perverted appearance of the Emperor of Fengdu, Yu Ji struggled even harder.

However, it was all in vain, as the Emperor of Fengdu directly grasped the shaft of the Overlord Halberd.

"Lady Houtu, I have gone through countless hardships and finally found a heavenly weapon, which I now present to you."

Then, the Emperor of Fengdu closed his eyes and began to communicate with Houtu.

In the underworld, Houtu raised an eyebrow upon hearing the voice transmission from the token in front of her.

"Okay, send it over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin energy gathered in front of him, and the majestic Overlord Halberd pierced directly into the ground.

"good."

When Houtu saw the Overlord Halberd, her eyes lit up.

Although Jun Su doesn't use a halberd, these materials can still be melted down.

If you don't want to merge with it, subduing the spirit of the weapon and using it for your own purposes is also an excellent option.

"Great, keep up the good work."

Houtu looked at the Overlord Halberd and spoke with satisfaction to the token in front of her.

"It is my honor to satisfy you, sir."

The Emperor of Fengdu's voice, tinged with obsequiousness, rang out.

The token disappeared quickly.

"I'm sorry, Junsu, please allow me to offer this as a token of my appreciation."

"Anyway, this weapon will eventually come back to you."

The Emperor of Fengdu muttered to himself.

If he doesn't find the treasure, he'll be slammed against the wall and won't be able to get off.

In other words, after the emperor saw that Prince An had sent the Overlord back with a single blow, he ordered Yun Wujing to remove the projection.

Otherwise, the image of the Fengdu Emperor as the dignified ruler of the underworld would be completely shattered.

......

Prince An's Mansion, Study

Li Junsu was unaware of, or rather, didn't care, which led to the fact that the Overlord's heavenly soldiers were now in Houtu's hands.

He could sense it the moment he used the Fengdu Funeral Procession.

The spirit within the scabbard at his waist had fully awakened.

Thinking of this, Li Junsu slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, a golden luster flashed, and a golden light appeared before them.

Li Junsu slightly opened his eyes and saw... a tall woman with two horns on her head, a dragon tail on her back, and black and red dragon scales on her limbs.

The woman looked at Prince An with a hint of amusement and even a touch of passion in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Li Junsu's heart skipped a beat.

That look... it seems familiar.

"Tian Ao, you said that Jun Qi and Jun Su complement each other, is that true?"

"Indeed, one still and one moving complement each other perfectly."

The discussion between my parents flashed through my mind.

"No, Zhaohan complements me; she is elegant and serene."

"This scabbard..."

Li Junsu began to think rapidly.

"Don't think about it, Master."

"The scabbard should, in theory, complement you."

"If it complements its master, it should acquire the arrogance of a true dragon."

"However... after the master awakened the weapon spirit, he did not fully nurture it, but directly allowed it to contain Zhao Han."

"This weapon spirit is naturally yin and fits its master well, but its inner nature complements Zhao Han, who is a weapon."

"Zhao Han is quiet and serene, loves literature, and is detached from worldly affairs."

"This soldier spirit is lively and playful, loves martial arts, and has vivid emotions."

Tian Geng's voice, tinged with schadenfreude, echoed in Li Junsu's mind.

She was also curious about how her master would deal with a spirit with this kind of personality.

After Zhao Han confirmed his suspicions, Li Junsu's eyes narrowed.

"Owner!"

The spirit soldier, dressed in a black and red python robe, pounced on his master the moment he saw him, wrapped his arms around Prince An's neck, and pulled him toward him.

Bingling and Prince An's eyebrows touched, their eyes curved so low they were almost invisible, their joy and affection overflowing.

Seeing that Bingling was just lively, Li Junsu breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just someone like Xiaoyue, then it's fine.

"Master, aren't you going to give me a name?"

The woman looked at Prince An and blinked.

In his eyes, there was only simple clarity and pure trust.

"mysterious..."

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu subconsciously decided to name the spirit soldier.

"The martial arts world is bustling now..."

The next moment, Bai Xingling's excited voice rang out.

But before she could finish speaking, her words got stuck in her throat.

The scene before her made her gape.

The black and red dragon robe and python robe complemented each other perfectly. The woman pressed her hand against the man's brow. The moonlight outside the window shone softly into the room, adding a touch of gentleness.

The two were quite mismatched.

Bai Xingling snapped out of her daze, and then the fur on her body stood on end.

“You…who are you!?”

Bai Xingling pointed at the woman, her eyes filled with fury.

"I?"

"I don't have a name yet."

The woman tilted her head, her smile radiant.

"She is the scabbard."

Li Junsu also came to his senses at this moment and pointed to his scabbard.

"Soldier Spirit."

Bai Xingling breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are the one I love..."

Bing Ling looked at Bai Xing Ling, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and then he spoke.

But before she could finish speaking, Bai Xingling quickly covered her mouth.

"Shut up, you."

"I'll show her around the Prince's Mansion."

Bai Xingling threw the intelligence report onto the desk and dragged Bingling away.

The spirit didn't struggle; it was dragged away with curiosity in its eyes.

"From now on, your name will be Xuan Yuan."

Li Junsu watched the departing Bingling and chuckled softly.

The deep abyss reflects the cold, complementing each other perfectly.

Upon hearing his name, Xuan Yuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining with an astonishing brightness.

Why couldn't I have been born sooner?

Before dragging Xuan Yuan away, Bai Xingling sighed to herself once again.

If only she had been adopted by Jun Su when she was a child.

The study fell silent, and Li Junsu turned his gaze to the intelligence report that Bai Xingling had tossed onto the table.

Li Junsu glanced through it briefly, then stroked his chin.

The record above is very simple: after learning that the Overlord had raised an army with the intention of rebellion, the Nightmare Demon Palace began to show its face and provoke the Taoist and Buddhist sects.

At the same time, the Nightmare Demon Palace intensified its control over the disciples of both the Daoist and Buddhist sects.

It's clearly a move to pit Taoism and Buddhism against each other.

The Buddhist sect has intensified its search for the Nightmare Demon Palace.

On the Longhu Mountain side, Donghuang Zhong personally led his men to take action.

The increased activity of both the Taoist and Buddhist sects led to more frequent encounters between them.

The more often they meet, the more friction they experience.

Between Shaolin Temple and Longhu Mountain, they have begun to try to wipe out each other's small temples and courtyards in the corners.

These small temples and Taoist monasteries, though lacking grand signs, represent the respective influence of Buddhism and Taoism.

The fact that they've extended their reach here shows that both sides do indeed intend to go to war.

"It's about to begin."

Li Junsu looked at the intelligence report and tapped his finger lightly on the table.

When the Western Regions are destroyed, both Taoism and Buddhism will certainly play a significant role.

For example, the three ancestral weapons of the Pure Land School.

He had promised the three Buddhist patriarchs that he would take them with him when he destroyed the Western Regions.

The Jade Emperor also said that he would personally congratulate him when he was promoted to Dao Lord.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural that Maitreya would appear in the world.

At that time, the battle between Taoism and Buddhism may officially begin.

"Nightmare Demon Palace..."

Li Junsu looked at the three words on the intelligence report and smiled knowingly.

After his battle with Erfu in the Celestial Realm, Li Junsu began to have doubts.

Is the location of the Nightmare Demon Palace in some other realm?

Previously, it was said that Xiao Fangdong had opened up a piece of land.

But Li Junsu felt that the possibility was unlikely.

If it was truly established by Xiao Fangdong, it's impossible that the Taoist and Buddhist sects haven't been able to find the Nightmare Demon Palace's hiding place for so long.

"They... are not simple."

Li Junsu felt a surge of curiosity.

He felt that perhaps even Xiao Fangdong himself was unaware of the wonders of the Nightmare Demon Palace.

“No power with a long history is simple.”

Li Junsu then thought of the Esoteric Buddhism of the Western Regions.

According to intelligence from the Wind Chaser, the Western Regions are becoming increasingly powerful.

Besides the two supreme beings mentioned by the Jade Emperor... Li Junsu still remembered the Great Dark Heaven that awakened the phantom of the Lord of War.

Tantric Buddhism must have a way to summon that thing.

After all, the Secret Realm only gained its foothold by defeating the Buddhist sect.

A single dark day is enough to give both Taoism and Buddhism a headache.

What other mysterious things are hidden in Tantric Buddhism? Nobody knows.

The Jade Emperor destroyed the secret treasure trove, preventing many powerful and forbidden items from unleashing their full potential.

To the Jade Emperor, it was something that could be destroyed with a single blow.

But for others, it's not that simple.

"We still need to practice diligently."

Thinking of this, Li Junsu stood up.

Grasp the true meaning of mountains and rivers early on, and then absorb the essence of rivers and streams.

Only after sending Gonggong and Zhurong back to the earth's veins... did they finally have the basic means to face the Supreme Being.

Thinking of this, Li Junsu walked towards the Tianxing Martial Arts Arena.

Upon arriving at the Tianxing Martial Arts Arena, Li Junsu spotted two beautiful figures.

This made him pause in his tracks.

Zhulong stood in the center of the Tianxing Martial Arts Arena, hands behind his back, looking every bit the grandmaster.

The next instant, a figure burst through the air.

Nuwa stepped out of the space, her expression somewhat...proud.

Nuwa leaned closer to Zhulong and whispered something.

"Done?"

Zhulong spoke softly to Nuwa.

"After it was done, I whipped him with my tail and made him spin around."

"Since the ancient emperor Xi Huang could not teach his predecessors well, then I will do it for him."

Nuwa's voice was very low.

With a sense of pride that he was avenging future generations.
