The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Just as Chu Xiu was about to ask the two deities what exactly had happened back then, a loud noise rang out at the end of the human palace.

What followed was an even more terrifying roar!

Erlang Shen and Nezha exchanged a glance upon seeing this.

Nezha raised an eyebrow, indicating something. Erlang Shen hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

Chu Xiu was puzzled: "You two..."

Nezha raised his hand, interrupting Chu Xiu: "If there is an opportunity in the future, we two will answer your questions."

"Now, the alien races who entered the Underground Palace before you have already awakened its guardians,"

"Once the guardian is awakened, the entrances to the Human Palace and the Earth Palace will close within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and will not reopen until everyone has left the Fallen God Palace."

“If you don’t leave now, you’ll probably have to keep us company for countless years to come.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu hesitated and said, "But if I leave here, I don't know how long it will be before I can return and help you two break free from your shackles..."

Erlang Shen shook his head: "With your current cultivation level, it's far from enough to achieve that. You'd need to be at the same level as the person who imprisoned our primordial spirits!"

Chu Xiu asked, "What level of cultivation does that person possess?"

"Judging by his current cultivation level, he should be called... the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth."

Nezha sighed, "If we weren't just left with only a wisp of our divine souls, merely at the Earthly Sovereign realm, how could we have been shackled by this person at our peak!"

Erlang Shen smiled slightly: "Let's not delay, let's go quickly."

He pointed towards the end of the temple, and the giant at the end of the temple roared and slowly opened the gate.

Chu Xiu nodded emphatically, respectfully clasped his hands towards the ten deities, transformed into a sword light, passed through the giant gate, and rushed into the underground palace. The giant gate behind him slowly closed.

Nezha withdrew his gaze, and just as he was about to speak with Erlang Shen, Erlang Shen's brows furrowed:

Where is Zhenying?

"Jung-young is right next to me..."

Nezha turned around in confusion, only to find that his younger sister, Li Zhenying, who should have been standing by his side, had suddenly disappeared.

"I go!"

"My sister ran off with that guy!"

……

Inside the underground palace, Chu Xiu hid himself behind a pillar, observing the situation inside.

Even before he entered the hall, there was a powerful man and a powerful woman fighting against a huge bull-shaped monster.

This bull-shaped monster was hundreds of feet tall, with a triangular head, four eyes, and sharp teeth, exuding a terrifying aura of a Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm. Chu Xiu had never seen such a creature before.

The two powerful figures who were locked in combat with him were both at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm.

Chu Xiu found the two figures somewhat familiar.

The middle-aged man among the two carried a sword box on his back, and with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed several flying swords that slashed at the monster.

The other woman exuded charm with every move she made, and with two ears on her head and nine tails growing from the back of her head, she was clearly a powerful fox clan member!

It's them!

After careful examination, Chu Xiu finally confirmed that these two people were the two important figures from the Demon Realm he had met before entering the world of the Four Continents, in front of the ancient temple in the Demon Zen Kingdom, introduced by Ye Wujiang.

Lord of the Lingtian Sword Sect in Zhongzhou, Marquis of Ten Thousand Swords!

Bai Yuling, the master of Qingqiu Mountain in Xizhou!

"Weren't these two the ones who entered Mount Sumeru with Venerable Ye Wujiang, Venerable Miaoyin, and Venerable Wunian? How come they're here?"

Chu Xiu frowned and pondered, unable to find a solution.

These two powerful individuals, working together, gradually found themselves at a disadvantage under the attacks of the bull-shaped demonic beast.

Wan Jianhou suddenly turned his head and glared at Bai Yuling, shouting, "Damn vixen, how long are you going to keep hiding your true strength?"

"This monster is at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm. If you don't go all out, we'll both die here!"

Bai Yuling narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said with a charming smile, "I just wanted to see the strength of the famous Lingtian Sword Sect Master. The Sect Master has such a bad temper..."

Wan Jianhou was furious: "Why aren't you making a move yet!"

"Okay, okay, why are you yelling so loudly..."

Bai Yuling rolled her eyes, her figure blurred, and she revealed herself as a nine-tailed celestial fox demon, whose form was almost identical to that of the demon beast. She single-handedly resisted the attack of the bull-shaped demon beast and was not at a disadvantage at all!

Seeing this, Wan Jianhou became even more furious: "If you had acted sooner instead of just watching from the sidelines, why would I have wasted so much of my magic power fighting this monster for so many days!"

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiu immediately recognized the difference in strength between Wan Jianhou and Bai Yuling.

The fact that Wan Jianhou was able to fight against this bull-shaped demon beast with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm on his own means that his strength should be infinitely close to the Perfection of the Qiankun Realm.

If Bai Yuling were to reveal her demonic form and fight the bull-type demon beast at her peak, her strength should have already reached the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm!

These two working together should be able to kill this monster without much trouble, but the guardian of this underground palace can't possibly be that weak!

as predicted!

Just after Wan Jianhou and Bai Yuling joined forces to kill the bull-shaped monster, two shadows suddenly appeared in the sky above the hall!

"Hide your head and show your tail! Get down here before me!"

Marquis Wan Jian glared angrily, pointed to the sky, and hundreds of flying swords from the sword box behind him shot out, piercing straight at the two shadows.

Unexpectedly, the two of them simply snorted and unleashed a powerful burst of energy, shattering the hundreds of flying swords in one blow!

With his flying sword destroyed, Wan Jianhou coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering a considerable injury.

Bai Yuling did not choose to act rashly. Instead, she stood atop the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's demonic form and cautiously observed the two uninvited guests.

She smiled and said, "What exactly are your purposes? Why don't we sit down and talk?"

These two destroyed hundreds of flying swords that Marquis Wanjian had refined over a hundred years in a single exchange, indicating that their strength was definitely above the late stage of the Qiankun Realm.

Given their combined strength, they would likely be no match for each other.

"A descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, that's quite a rare find..."

"It's been a long time since I've seen you..."

Two uninvited guests slowly descended, their figures revealed in the starlight of the underground palace.

Chu Xiu was quite surprised to see this, and smiled slightly.

It's really a narrow road for enemies...

These two were the Jackal Dragon Demon General and the Giant Boar Demon General who had previously escaped from his grasp!

Unexpectedly, these two did not leave the secret realm, but instead sneaked into the Fallen God Palace!

"Could it be that these two also obtained the secrets of this hidden realm from the Demon Emperor and have come to compete with General Pulao for the inheritance?"

Chu Xiu frowned in thought. If that were truly the case, then the job at the Spirit Control Sect would be incredibly difficult...

Even those in command must be wary of backstabbing from colleagues or even their superiors...

The monstrous beast general, with eyes gleaming with lust, scanned Bai Yuling's alluring figure from head to toe, and chuckled:

"General, this woman's figure is in no way inferior to that of our Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox from the Spirit Control Sect. How about we..."

The Jackal Dragon Demon General merely glanced at him, and the Giant Pig Demon General instantly showed a look of fear, shrank his neck, and slapped his own pig face hard.

The Jackal Dragon Demon General said indifferently, "You can say it to me, but don't let the Spirit Lord Commander hear such disrespectful words. Otherwise, even I wouldn't have the face to save your dog's life from her clutches!"
