After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"No, it's impossible!"

"How could Dong Sheng possibly lose?!"

"With the righteous spirit of Confucian scholars across the land, how could we possibly lose?!"

"The Imperial Grandson is such a monstrous talent!"

……

The civil officials were all devastated, unable to believe their eyes.

Their faith, the Confucian sage they worshipped, was defeated so decisively.

They stared blankly into the air, completely devoid of their earlier excitement.

Several civil officials were so angered that they coughed up blood.

The Martial Emperor sneered and memorized their names.

"Hahaha……"

The Empress laughed heartily, "Prince Yi is so domineering, he has brought glory to our Great Qian Dynasty!"

"Good, good, good!"

He shouted "Good!" three times in a row, expressing his joy.

"Prince Yi's domineering presence upholds the might of our Great Qian Kingdom!"

"Prince Yi's domineering presence upholds the might of our Great Qian Kingdom!"

"Prince Yi's domineering presence upholds the might of our Great Qian Kingdom!"

……

The ministers shouted their congratulations in unison!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and excited smiles appeared on their faces.

Mahayana Buddhism, the Underworld Clan, the Overlord and the Underworld Emperors, Dong Tianshu...

The traitors were finally wiped out.

The Great Qian Dynasty is safe now, and they no longer need to worry about being massacred.

The most enthusiastic shouters were the military generals and princes.

The civil officials all looked like wilted eggplants, their eyes fixed on Dong Tianshu, who was being escorted back to the square by Zhou Yi.

How tragic!

Even with the combined righteous spirit of all the Confucian scholars in the world, they were no match for the grandson of the Emperor.

That despicable imperial grandson.

……

The moon-white long robe was torn with several holes, and the scholar's cap on his head had disappeared.

At this moment, Dong Tianshu completely lost his previous refined and composed demeanor as a great Confucian scholar.

He closed his eyes slightly, looking utterly despondent.

"Dong Tianshu, you caused the extermination of my entire family. Now pay with your life," Zhou Yi said coldly.

"Heh, kill me, Saint?"

Dong Tianshu remained unfazed, saying, "You'll have to have the ability."

A terrestrial deity, capable of rebirth on the spot.

He was well-read and had never heard of any way to kill a terrestrial deity.

"What a coincidence."

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "I was just trying it out, and now I'll use you to test it out."

Hu Die, holding the "Scripture of the Underworld," gracefully approached.

As the ancient texts were opened and the Book of Death was recited:

"Life is the spirit of death."

"Death is the source of life."

"Life inevitably leads to death, just as day inevitably leads to night."

……

As the scriptures were recited, Dong Tianshu was deeply shaken.

The aura of death around them surged rapidly.

Soon, a dead zone formed within a radius of several feet.

Within the Dead Zone, the aura of death was so dense it was almost tangible.

Dong Tianshu could already feel that the life force within him was rapidly draining away.

More importantly.

Within the dead zone, life is extremely scarce.

Resurrection requires drawing life from nature.

Even terrestrial immortals are no exception.

If they are killed here, they will not be able to gather enough vitality.

It is impossible for them to be resurrected.

Ahhh.

Dong Tianshu was driven to despair and finally became anxious.

He doesn't want to die.

Land immortals have a lifespan of three thousand years.

He still has plenty of time to enjoy; death would end it all.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, please stop!" Dong Tianshu pleaded, his voice trembling slightly.

Zhou Yi ignored him.

Without receiving any instructions, Hu Die continued reciting the "Scripture of the Underworld".

Within the dead zone, the aura of death was so intense it was suffocating.

In an instant, Dong Tianshu clearly felt that more than ten years of his lifespan had passed.

Based on this speed.

In less than an hour or two, his lifespan will be exhausted.

"I'll tell you who's behind this," Dong Tianshu said慌张地.

He knew that this was the matter that the other party cared about most.

Zhou Yi still didn't respond.

Some people are like that; they won't leave when you're in a hurry, and they'll only back down when you try to force them.

The more you beg him, the higher the price he'll ask for.

“That was a great emperor,” Dong Tianshu said.

Zhou Yi frowned and said impatiently, "Explain in detail."

"By chance, I received a wisp of consciousness in my mind."

Dong Tianshu said, "He is said to be a great emperor of all time, but due to a series of unforeseen events, he was imprisoned in a tomb."

"As long as I can unseal him, I will surely take this old man to ascend to the heavens."

"With his help, I entered the Dao through literature and cultivated myself into a terrestrial immortal."

As his lifespan continued to slip away, Dong Tianshu's face showed anxiety.

It seems he wasn't trying to lie.

However, it's all too coincidental.

"Was his tomb also sealed by Emperor Ji using the dragon vein?" Zhou Yi asked.

If he was sealed by Emperor Ji, why would Emperor Wu be unaware of it?

"No, he was not sealed by Emperor Ji."

Dong Tianshu shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence. If the seal on the dragon vein is broken, his restraints will also become ineffective."

"Who is he?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"he……"

Dong Tianwen hesitated.

……

Sudden.

"Rumble..."

The sound of carriages and horses rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the southwest direction of the imperial city.

A dozen miles away, an eight-horse carriage sped toward the imperial city.

The billowing dust resembled a long tail trailing behind a horse-drawn carriage.

What a great speed!

Everyone was amazed.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage had covered more than ten miles and arrived in front of the imperial city.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The carriage did not pass through the city gate.

Eight magnificent horses pulling the carriage galloped higher and higher, their hooves flying.

In the end, it even ran through the air, leaping over the high city walls, heading towards the palace.

……

"Here he comes, he comes!"

A fiery glint appeared in Dong Tianshu's eyes.

Just like the fervent worship the civil officials had shown him just now.

Everyone was stunned into silence.

These eight horses were able to run through the air.

Could it be that there are still Pegasus horses in this world?

Only a few terrestrial immortals, such as Zhou Yi, knew what was going on.

Huo Wubing explained to the crowd:

"The horses taking off is merely a result of the people in the carriage using their magic to lift them up."

Oh.

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone was internally complaining.

It turns out he was just showing off.

The hearts of all the terrestrial immortals sank.

at this time.

The eight horses stopped, and the carriage hovered in mid-air above the square, remaining completely still.

Lifting the eight-horse chariot into the air required an extreme amount of magical power.

Ordinary terrestrial immortals couldn't last long at all.

The owner of the carriage seemed completely unconcerned about this.

That can only mean that the other party's magical power is extremely profound.

Moreover, what's even more incredible is...

Following this eight-horse carriage was another six-horse carriage.

Similarly, it also hovered in mid-air.

The vehicle's luxurious features were in no way inferior to those of the Empress Wu's carriage.

Fourteen half-demon horses are rare and exceptional steeds.

It is even better than Emperor Wu's chariot horse.

Who is it that travels with such a grand entourage?

……

Huo Wubing stopped the carriage mid-air and demanded:

"Who is coming?"

"..." The two carriages remained silent.

There was no driver on the carriage shaft.

No one could even tell whether there was anyone inside the closed carriage.

The carriage was gleaming with gold, as if it were made of pure gold.

Sudden.

Inside the carriage, soft clapping could be heard.

The seemingly pure gold surface of the carriage automatically peeled off a human-shaped template.

The template quickly swelled and transformed into tall, robust golden figures.

There were eighteen golden figures.

The eighteen golden figures had actually reached the Celestial Realm in cultivation.

"Tread, step, step..."

Their steps were heavy, each one causing the space to tremble.

However, they are extremely agile.

They rushed to Hu Die in a few quick steps.

They actually wanted to kidnap her and put her on a carriage.
