Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Houtu Niangniang shoved Moyu away and said coldly:

"I don't have time to argue with you right now. And you don't need to deliberately cause trouble to delay things and prevent Sister Lingyun from meeting my Lord."

As soon as these words came out.

This immediately put Mo Yu in the spotlight.

Ling Yun, Xuan Tian, ​​and Long Xiu all turned to look at him.

The slightly suspicious and questioning gaze made Mo Yu feel very uncomfortable.

Mo Yu said angrily:

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before? Besides, sis, we've been through thick and thin together for so long, are you really going to believe her instead of me?"

Ling Yun said expressionlessly:

"I trust no one but myself now. If you're as confident as I am, then wait here."

Say it.

Lingyun said to Houtu Niangniang:

"Please take me to see the Lord of Mount Tai."

The Goddess Houtu was very polite.

"Sister Lingyun, please come with me!"

At this moment.

As the disciple, Long Xiu was worried about his master's safety and stepped forward to speak:

"Master, what if something happens to you while you're going to see Lord Taishan alone?"

Ling Yun comforted him, saying:

"Don't worry. I have my own way of dealing with this."

Finished speaking.

Without turning her head, she followed Houtu Niangniang into the ancient Netherworld Palace.

Upon entering the ancient Netherworld Palace, Ling Yun felt an aura of solemnity and reverence wash over him.

above the hall.

Nine bronze pillars stand tall, reaching into the clouds.

The bronze pillar is engraved with mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.

Houtu Niangniang led the way, her steps light yet respectful.

Ling Yun followed closely behind, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

At the same time, he secretly wondered what kind of person the Lord of Mount Tai, whom he was about to meet, was.

at last.

At the end of the main hall, Ling Yun saw a man dressed in a black and purple dragon robe sitting on a huge stone platform.

His face was stern and cold, as if carved by a knife and axe, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they held endless secrets.

The dark purple dragon robe he wore exuded an aura of majesty even in the dim light.

He exuded a powerful yet restrained aura, as if he were one with the hall, inspiring awe in those who looked upon him.

Ling Yun knew that the person in front of him was the Lord of Mount Tai.

"Ling Yun, how have you been?"

The Lord of Mount Tai spoke first, his voice deep and magnetic, echoing in the spacious hall.

Ling Yun frowned slightly, his mind filled with doubts.

"We seem to have never met before!"

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Lord of Mount Tai.

“Ancestor Lingyun, although your memories of your past life have faded, we are indeed old acquaintances.”

Ling Yun remained calm and said coldly:

"I have completely forgotten about my past life. Ancestor, I only want to know, what is the reason you have specifically summoned me here?"

Lord Taishan gazed intently at Ling Yun, then slowly rose and stepped down from the stone platform.

"In our past lives, you and I joined hands with the ancient gods of the primordial era to fight against the dark forces that attempted to overturn the order of the universe."

That battle was extremely brutal.

Almost all the ancient gods perished, but the demon lord was severely injured.

Later, to protect all living beings, you exhausted your primordial power to seal away that demon lord, but you yourself were trapped in the cycle of reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun felt a surge of emotion.

But he still questioned it verbally:

"Stop. These past events are hard to verify. Even if you tell me, I won't believe you, Ancestor. I just want to know why you summoned me here."

Lord Taishan sighed deeply, his expression complex, and said:

“Now, that dark force is stirring again. Only by joining forces can we perhaps suppress it once more. That is why I have brought you here.”

Ling Yun pondered for a moment, wondering whether what the Lord of Mount Tai said was true or false.

Just then, Houtu Niangniang whispered from the side:

“Sister Lingyun, everything the Lord said is true. This Ancient God Cemetery was the key place that sealed the dark forces. Now the cemetery is acting strangely, and the dark aura is getting stronger. The situation is extremely critical.”

Ling Yun looked up at Lord Taishan.

“If what you say is true, I will not stand idly by. But before that, I need to verify the truth of your words.”

Lord Taishan nodded slightly, waved his hands, and ripples spread through the surrounding space, revealing a series of images.

In the scene, Ling Yun fights alongside the Lord of Mount Tai and other ancient gods against the forces of darkness.

The scene was breathtaking and magnificent.

Ling Yun was deeply shocked as he looked at these scenes.

Some vague fragments of memory seem to be gradually awakening in my mind.

However, just as Ling Yun's resolve wavered, a fierce fight suddenly broke out outside the main hall.

The Lord of Mount Tai's expression changed, and he shouted:

"Oh no! Someone has broken in!"

Having said that, he flashed away like a black lightning bolt, rushing out of the main hall.

It moved so fast that it left only a blur.

Ling Yun instantly became alert, his spiritual energy surging like a tidal wave, and his gaze, sharp as lightning, shot towards the entrance of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, Mo Yu was leading Xuan Tian and Long Xiu in a fierce battle against a group of people dressed in black robes with strange figures.

The men in black robes moved swiftly, as elusive as ghosts.

An eerie black mist emanated from his body, and when it collided with Mo Yu's spiritual power, it produced a series of ear-piercing sounds, as if they were screams from hell.

While desperately defending himself, Mo Yu shouted loudly:

"Sister, these guys suddenly appeared, they're up to no good! I don't think this Lord of Mount Tai is a kind person, you mustn't trust him!"

Ling Yun's heart tightened, and his suspicions about the Lord of Mount Tai increased.

Houtu Niangniang said anxiously from the side:

"Sister Lingyun, these people must be henchmen of the dark forces. They came here to cause trouble while the Emperor was talking to you. The Emperor would not lie to you."

Ling Yun did not respond, keeping his eyes fixed on the battlefield, trying to find a clue from the chaotic battle.

She keenly realized that the black-robed men's targets did not seem to be just Mo Yu.

They also kept glancing into the interior of the hall, their eyes revealing eagerness and greed.

They seem to be searching for something of utmost importance.

At this moment, the battle between Mo Yu and the man in black robes intensified.

Although Mo Yu was quite strong, the enemy was numerous and kept surging forward like a tide, and he gradually began to struggle.

He also had several wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Ling Yun weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Knowing full well that if he didn't act now, Mo Yu's life would be in danger, and he wouldn't be able to find out the truth of the matter.

then.

Ling Yun gritted his teeth, his spiritual power surging and bursting forth like a volcanic eruption, breaking through the light barrier set up by Lord Taishan and flying into the battle.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes immediately changed formation, encircling Ling Yun and Mo Yu like a black vortex.

One of the men, dressed in black and seemingly the leader, slowly emerged from the darkness.

He was tall, with a black veil covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that emitted a ghostly light.

He gave a cold laugh, his voice hoarse and icy:

"Ling Yun, you've taken the bait! None of you will leave here alive!"

Say it.

With a wave of his hands, the man in black robes launched an attack instantly.

The black mist, like surging waves, rushed towards Ling Yun and Mo Yu...
