Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

"Xiongying, remember to keep an eye on your cousin and don't let him get lost."

Zhu Changye gave him earnest and heartfelt advice.

After all, the two little ones were still children, and he had some errands to run, so he was worried about something going wrong.

Moreover, these two children, one the eldest grandson of the deceased Ming Dynasty and the other the renowned Emperor Renzong of Ming, were both good descendants of their families.

If something happens right under his nose, he'll be mortified.

"Master, what are you saying? I'm not a child! How could I get lost!"

Zhu Gaochi was a little unhappy.

He even symbolically waved his arms, showing off his "unicorn arms".

Zhu Changye rolled his eyes and just stared at Zhu Gaochi quietly.

Zhu Gaochi felt a little guilty for a moment: "Okay, actually... actually I'm somewhere between a child and an adult, I can take care of myself! I don't need the androgynous guy to supervise me!"

Zhu Changye smiled and said, "That would be best."

"Alright, we really can't delay any longer. You two wait here, I'll be right back."

Zhu Changye walked forward, waving goodbye to the two people behind him.

soon.

Then it disappeared from the sight of the two little ones.

.

….….…….….….

Wangya Mountain's waist.

Yin Susu and the other three fled quickly.

A gentle breeze blows here, carrying the faint scent of earth and grass.

Two or three fireflies flew here, their rare glowing tails flashing. It was a pity that it was daytime and the glow was not visible. A pine tree was munching on some wild fruit from who-knows-where, making a squeaking sound.

at this time,

A streak of light streaked across the distant sky, crashing onto the summit of this mountain before dissolving, instantly revealing multiple black figures.

This startled the squirrel, causing it to drop the wild fruit onto the grass.

A few fireflies were also blown aside by the wind stirred up by the arrival of these people.

These figures were none other than Zhu Changye and his companions.

He stood there, with the underworld messengers holding a huge black umbrella behind him, and the Black and White Impermanence standing on either side, holding their swords.

The underworld messengers and the Black and White Impermanence are both dressed in human clothing and have human bodies.

Normally they are not allowed to do so, but Zhu Changye is the City God, their superior. If he says it's okay, then it's okay.

"My lord, is there any unusual phenomenon there?" Bai Wuchang asked curiously.

Zhu Changye did not reply.

He gazed at the blue sky and the vast expanse of the heavens, a special light rising in his eyes as he activated the technique of observing and interpreting qi!

Suddenly…

A faint, gloomy aura rose into the distance, spreading in all directions.

This strange phenomenon is invisible to ordinary people, but it can be clearly sensed by those who are sensitive to yin energy, such as the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons and the underworld messengers.

"Not far away, evil spirits are wreaking havoc."

"Black Impermanence said in a deep voice, his pair of black eyes gleaming."

Everyone, including him, looked at the City God. They had begun to understand what the City God meant by the 'evil spirits will emerge' that the man had mentioned on the road.

Although they didn't know what the specific evil spirit was, they knew its approximate location.

Zhu Changye withdrew his gaze and said, "A newly born, extremely ferocious ghost, accompanied by dozens of other vengeful spirits."

After arriving here, the hazy number of days was no longer blurred, and I finally saw clearly how many days there were.

The bodies of the Black and White Impermanence and others trembled.

"My lord, I am willing to leave my territory and go to that land of yin energy to wipe out those evil spirits causing trouble."

"My lord, I am willing too, please let me go there."

“….”

Without hesitation, both Black Impermanence and White Impermanence bowed and volunteered.

The other four underworld officials also spoke up, all wanting to go there, kill those evil spirits, and avert a great calamity for humanity.

Zhu Changye shook his head.

At that moment, Yin Susu and her companions arrived.

"Hmm? There's someone in front of me, are they also those evil spirits?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Everything looks normal. Let's test the waters first."

After speaking with the last remaining conscious Taoist priest, Yin Susu and the other two immediately decided to contact Zhu Changye and his group.

We need to remind them that they can't go into the mountains!

They would save as many as they could, and they wouldn't stop them if they were determined to go into the mountains, nor did they have the ability to do so.

After all, they were all like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, barely able to save themselves.

They only offer a few verbal reminders.

"You lot, whatever you do, don't go any further! It's dangerous up ahead, there are... there are ruthless bandits who kill without hesitation!"

Yin Susu spoke up to remind her.

She originally wanted to say there were evil spirits, but considering that saying "evil spirits" might not be intimidating and might be mistaken for a joke, she changed it to "ruthless bandits."

Yin Susu thought that saying this would scare Zhu Changye and the others away, but to her surprise, they didn't react at all.

"You...you think I'm joking?"

"Don't go! People will die!"

"Wait, what's wrong with your Taoist robe...?"

Yin Susu scrutinized Zhu Changye closely, then, as if realizing something, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You're a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain!"

She had never been to Longhu Mountain, but Longhu Mountain was so famous that every man and woman in the martial arts world knew about it.

Therefore, Yin Susu also knew something about their Taoist robes.

"That's not bad."

Zhu Changye chuckled.

Seeing Zhu Changye so nonchalant, Yin Susu was furious: "Old Taoist priest, are you still laughing? Stop laughing, there are evil spirits causing trouble ahead."

"I suppose you've come here to deal with the evil spirit, but... even Zhang Cuishan, one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, couldn't do anything and had to sacrifice himself to block it. You should hurry back; we need to ask you to act as our leader."

"No, even if we act as the sect leader, it might not be of any use. Didn't your Longhu Mountain have a celestial being? Let him come. Only that celestial being has a solution. Otherwise, Longhu Mountain can forget about ridding the people of this scourge."

Zhu Changye smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss."

While talking,

A cold glint flashed in his originally gentle gaze.

Without a sound, he raised his hand in the air and gestured…

In the distant Tianyun Temple, in Zhu Changye's room in the backyard.

Buzzing--

The black City God Sword placed in the room trembled continuously.

Zhu Yao, who was playing with a ball in the courtyard, felt something and looked up at her great-grandfather's room. She saw the City God Sword trembling and then flew out of the door and disappeared into the air, as fast as light.

At this moment, Zhu Yao was stunned.

call out!

A beam of light pierced the sky above the City God Temple.

"Ok?"

The disciples of Tianyun Temple outside stared wide-eyed, even pausing in their tea-drinking motions.

That is….

They saw a black object fly out of the City God Temple. It was moving at an incredible speed, exceeding the speed of sound, yet it flew through the air silently without making a sound.

The two Tianyun Temple disciples suddenly stood up, looked at each other, and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.

"What is that thing?" one of them asked, his voice trembling.

He hadn't even seen the object clearly; he had only glanced at it when he felt a sense of oppression and an instinctive fear, making him want to kneel down and kowtow.

"Quickly, tell the abbot about this."

The other person, recovering from the shock, exclaimed in surprise.

"The abbot is not here!"

A disciple from Tianyun Temple ran out from inside, clearly having noticed the anomaly immediately and gone to find Zhu Changye.

"Not here? Then... that thing seemed to have flown out of the abbot's room. Could it be... that the abbot himself did it?"

A disciple of Tianyun Temple speculated.

The other two remained silent, seemingly acknowledging the matter and believing that the abbot possessed the necessary power.

.

…….….….….….

The City God Sword streaked across the sky like a black meteor.

This day.

People in Yingtian Prefecture looked up at the sky and witnessed a black light streak across it, exclaiming in surprise, not understanding why.

No one knows where this light is going.

The City God's sword slashed through the air, reaching all the way to Wangya Mountain.

"That is..."

At the mountaintop, both Black and White Impermanence sensed the unusual movement in the sky behind them and looked up.

The next moment, they saw the black light, which arrived at Pianshan in the blink of an eye, and then mysteriously appeared in the City God's hand.

The six ghosts and gods all looked on with curiosity.

The City God forbade them from going there because of this thing?

"sword?

Black Impermanence's eyes flashed as he discerned what it was.

The sword blank, entirely black and ancient, resembled an unfinished product, yet it still exuded an aura that made him feel uneasy and uneasy.

Yin Susu, who had just been talking to Zhu Changye, was completely dumbfounded.

The Wudang Mountain Taoist priest beside her was the same.

Because he was hallucinating, he subconsciously slapped himself, but all he felt was pain, excruciating pain.

The two were facing Zhu Changye, and the sword flew towards him with its back to him, so they could see it more clearly.

It's precisely because we see things more clearly that we're also more confused.

A sword flew from a thousand miles away and landed in the hands of the man before him.

This is such an astonishing thing!

But it really happened.

Both Yin Susu and the Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain felt their worldviews were shaken.

"Wait, you can't be...you can't be!!"

Yin Susu asked in alarm, "Is it that immortal from Longhu Mountain?"

Such a miraculous thing, in the vast Longhu Mountain, besides that immortal, she didn't know who else could do it.

Zhu Changye did not hide anything, nor did he need to hide anything from outsiders; he acted freely and unrestrainedly.

"By the grace of Heaven, I have been granted a seat among the immortals."

boom!

As soon as these words came out.

Yin Susu and the Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain were stunned and stood there in place.

Really!

it is true!

The rumors are true, and the people of Longhu Mountain didn't lie!

In their mountains, there truly is a celestial being who can rival Master Zhang!

Zhu Changye ignored the two and gripped the Chenghuang Sword's core.

“With this, you don’t need to go.” His calm voice spread out, and he gently tossed the sword toward the land of demons: “Go, show your power, slay all the demons, and quell this chaos of darkness.”

Wenru's voice echoed through the mountains, drifting away on the wind.

With a slight tremor, the City God Sword Embryo vanished from its spot.

this moment.

The six ghosts and gods on patrol felt a chill run down their spines; the moment the mysterious black sword flew towards them, it made their hearts tremble.

However, as they flew out of the adults' hands and disappeared in the instant, they had another feeling—a feeling of destruction, annihilation of everything, causing heaven and earth to retreat into the deepest abyss, containing a terrifying and magnificent aura!

In the eyes of Yin Susu and the Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, the sword was nothing special, except that it could fly on its own.

Yes.

They are mortals, how could they possibly perceive the methods of immortals?

the other side.

Land of demons.

A dozen or so vengeful ghosts rushed out of the village, clashing with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

Chaos, chaos!
