PDLP Chapter 1330
Chapter 1330
"My lord, please reconsider."
"We still need you to go back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation."
"Moreover, once we reach the underground cave, the remaining Demon Lords will not only be able to take advantage of their home field and face you in their peak condition."
"In addition, there is also the Styx Ancestor in charge. It is said that his strength has already reached the late stage of [Immortal].
After the initial shock, fearing that his master might lose his temper, Zhang Liansong quickly said...
"I sealed the gates of hell in the capital with my own hands."
"After circling around the cave, I can go straight back from there. It won't waste any time!"
"As for those demon kings, I'm not going to fight them in a group."
"I'm not exactly known for my martial ethics, am I?"
Xu Shan, who possesses the supernatural ability to "change his appearance," can not only alter his looks but also conceal his aura.
If he wanted to, none of these demon kings could find him.
“I have learned from the King of Guanghan…”
"Not only is the Styx Ancestor currently in seclusion and unable to emerge in the short term, but also, due to the early years of the Lower Yuan Dynasty, the seals on the eighteen levels of hell have become loose."
"In this situation, he has very little energy left to deal with me."
Xu Shan would naturally not act rashly.
The reason for making such a decision is based on its own strength and the current trend of the situation.
The celestial beings and the earth demons have joined forces.
Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
Why are we being led by the nose by them in the mortal realm?
Of course, his priority now is to solve the immediate problem.
To be able to preside over the [Taiyin Blood Soul Array], one must be at least a Demon King.
If he dares to come to the mortal realm, Xu Shan will make sure he never returns.
"I'll go in first and find out what's going on."
"You will infiltrate with these fools. Be ready to provide backup for me at any time."
Xu Shan was not intimidated by the formidable enemy.
But Shangguan Yan'er's presence would distract him.
As long as Zhang Liansong takes him away, he can fight without hesitation...
Xu Shan firmly believes that even if the reverted 'Shangguan Jingteng' is in Phoenix Mountain, he has a backup plan to eliminate him.
After hearing this, Zhang Liansong nodded emphatically and said, "I understand."
'Ding dong. '
Just as Xu Shan was explaining some details to Zhang Liansong, the system notification suddenly sounded.
"Congratulations, host. The system has completed the simulation of the [Phoenix Cry Formation] for you."
'Uh-huh. '
As soon as the system finished speaking, all the information about the Phoenix Cry Array flooded into Xu Shan's mind like a sudden awakening.
After a brief exchange, Xu Shan patted Zhang Liansong lightly on the shoulder. Then, he disappeared into the crowd.
A few dozen breaths later, Xu Shan's figure appeared ghost-like within the [Phoenix Cry Formation].
Unlike the outside world...
At this moment, the place is filled with malevolent energy.
The reason for activating the mountain-protecting formation is likely to retain this malevolent energy and prevent it from leaking out, thus facilitating the setup of the [Taiyin Blood Soul Formation]!
"Ok?"
Just as Xu Shan entered the heart of Phoenix Mountain, he keenly sensed the presence of both visible and hidden sentries and strengthened the defenses there.
They overheard their conversation.
"Great Protector, what kind of situation is this?"
"Our Heavenly Phoenix Clan has been suppressing the Earth Demon here for over a hundred years, in accordance with our ancestral teachings."
"Now, not only are they being allowed to enter the mortal realm, but they are also being protected here."
“We even have to sacrifice to the people who believe in us within a radius of hundreds of miles.”
"This is simply contrary to the laws of nature and destiny!"
Hearing the grumbling of his clansmen below, Shangguan Jingming, the Great Protector of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, coldly retorted, "What is the Heavenly Dao?"
"Only the Way transmitted by Heaven and Man can be called the 'Way of Heaven'."
"What is destiny?"
Only commands issued by Heaven and humanity can be called 'Heaven's Mandate'.
"Didn't the ancestor reincarnate with the mandate of heaven just to impart the Dao of Heaven within the mortal realm?"
After Shangguan Jingming revealed these things in a confusing manner, the clansmen beside him fell silent.
However, he still raised his own question: "Great Protector, this is the truth."
"But doing this always feels like going against my faith."
"Besides, how could the Holy Maiden be carrying a demon's child?"
"She and Xu Shan were deeply in love. Both the clan chief and her master, Master Yuan, knew about it."
“Even if someone commits an extramarital affair and becomes pregnant unexpectedly, it shouldn’t be defined as a ‘ghost child’.”
After he finished speaking, Shangguan Jingming snapped, "Shut up!"
"Didn't you hear what the ancestor announced earlier?"
“Xu Shan… has been defined as a ‘monster’ by the Heavenly Realm. It was he who bewitched His Majesty, causing the entire Ming Dynasty’s atmosphere to veer towards ‘competing with the heavens’.”
"This is completely contrary to the laws of Heaven. It deserves divine retribution!"
"And Shangguan Yan'er shamelessly slept with him in private, what else could the child she was carrying be but a 'ghost child'?"
"Remember..."
"We are the descendants of Heaven, and we obey the 'Mandate of Heaven' in everything we do."
"Fate says Xu Shan must die. Then he cannot live!"
"As for Shangguan Yan'er... she brought this upon herself."
“Ancestor, we originally planned to use her to lure Xu Shan into a trap.”
"But that vile woman dares to defy the will of Heaven?"
"Since that's the case, Ancestor has no choice but to sacrifice his own family for the greater good."
"In her final moments, she used the fetus in her womb to ambush Xu Shan; it was destiny, and it was also her honor."
At this point, Shangguan Jingming glanced at the few clansmen who dared not speak out in anger and said, "Let me reiterate, your kind of thinking is very dangerous."
"This is the first time; there must not be a second time."
"Otherwise, we will deal with it according to the clan rules."
"have you understood?"
After he finished speaking these words fiercely, the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan nodded mechanically.
Although they were dissatisfied, they dared not utter any further rebuttals.
"Remember this well: Xu Shan is a monster. Anyone who gets involved with him is a target of our Heavenly Phoenix Clan."
"Once this curse is complete..."
"The next step for the Tianfeng Clan will be to use Yanzhou as the center, in coordination with the forces of several other aristocratic families and powerful clans, to eliminate all Jinyiwei within their jurisdiction."
"Make sure that none of Xu Shan's henchmen dare to cause trouble in the mortal realm."
"Yes."
After receiving this reply, Shangguan Jingming turned and headed toward the next sentry.
As the chief supervisor of Phoenix Mountain's defenses, he had to ensure that the upcoming 'curse-casting' plan would proceed smoothly.
The clan leader, Shangguan Jingteng, has already been possessed by the ancestor through a soul-guiding array.
Several elders who were ranked higher had their dantian sealed and were imprisoned because they were dissatisfied with the ancestor's arrangements.
As the Great Protector, he is highly likely to take over the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan after the Ancestor ascends to heaven again.
Under these circumstances...
He naturally put in his best effort!
So what if we cooperate with the Earth Demon?
So what if it goes against one's previous beliefs?
He just wants to hold onto power!
'bass! ’
But just as Shangguan Jingming was fantasizing about completely taking control of Phoenix Mountain...
A surging, malevolent aura, like Mount Tai pressing down, firmly restrained him in place.
He was just admiring the sunset when suddenly everything went black!
