Xia Yushu was truly surprised that Bai Bufan hadn’t died and had even become the abbot of the Great Zen Temple. Wang Hongyu was even more confused and quickly asked him questions.

Bai Bufan then recounted to the two of them everything he had experienced in the past six months.

It turns out that on the day Bai Xifeng was defeated and jumped off a cliff, Bai Bufan caught him, obtained the cultivation method of the first half of the “Cihang True Scripture” from him, then killed him and fled.

Bai Bufan was very clever. He dared not return to Aojian Manor and found a place where no one knew him. He cultivated the Cihang True Scripture to a minor level. At this time, Kun Kingdom was attacking the Daqian Imperial Palace. Seeing that the Tiangan was doomed, Bai Bufan dared not stay in the capital. After thinking it over, he ran to Yunzhou to take refuge.

While in Yunzhou, Bai Bufan met a master who, seeing that he possessed the “Cihang True Scripture,” took him as a disciple, taught him martial arts, and sent him to the Great Zen Temple to obtain the abbot’s seat.

At this time, both Dachan Temple and Shaoyue Sect were leaderless. Bai Bufan received the master’s profound martial arts teachings and made great progress in his martial arts. After arriving at Dachan Temple, he still defeated the group of masters of Tianchan Shou despite their repeated attacks. He also demonstrated the “Cihang True Scripture” that he had cultivated, which earned him the recognition of the monks of Dachan Temple. He then took the position of abbot and is now considered a figure in the martial arts world.

After hearing his story, Wang Hongyu was indeed surprised, but Xia Yushu was somewhat dismissive. What did it have to do with him?

In fact, ever since Xia Yushu became the Xia Emperor, he has looked down on everyone. In his eyes, everyone is just a tool, depending on whether they have any value to him or are his enemies.

Xia Yushu took a sip of tea and said calmly, “Brother Bai is really lucky. I just wonder who this ‘expert’ you mentioned is, and how exceptional he is?” He was more interested in the person behind Bai Bufan.

Bai Bufan chuckled, looking at Xia Yushu’s dismissive expression, and said, word by word, “My master is Sui Gaishi, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Demon Gods, known as the ‘Demon Master’!”

“What? !”

As soon as he said this, Xia Yushu spat out the tea in his mouth. Completely disregarding his appearance, he stood up, glared at Bai Bufan, and said excitedly, “Brother Bai, is what you say true?”

Wang Hongyu, who was standing next to him, also changed his expression and was stunned.

Bai Bufan looked arrogant and spread his hands, saying, “There’s no benefit for me to lie to you.”

Hearing this, Xia Yushu became even more excited and grabbed Bai Bufan’s hand, saying, “Where is he now? Take me to see him quickly!”

Bai Bufan said calmly, “Brother Xia, don’t be impatient. My master has important matters to attend to at the moment. We will meet in due time.”

“Oh…you’re right.” Xia Yushu wasn’t annoyed by his arrogant expression and sat down again. “I never expected Brother Bai to have such a wonderful encounter. Great…it’s wonderful! From now on, we’re family!”

Bai Bufan said, “Besides telling you this, there’s something else I wanted to tell you when I invited you for tea.”

“What is it?” At this moment, Bai Bufan was a sharp weapon in Xia Yushu’s eyes. Even if he went a little further, she could tolerate it.

Bai Bufan said, “I would like to introduce someone to you two. Brother Yuan… come out!”

Footsteps came from behind the screen. Xia Yushu and Wang Hongyu listened intently. The person’s steps were light, breathing even, and their inner energy was continuous, clearly indicating that they were also a top expert at the Innate Realm.

Soon, a young man in white appeared in the meditation room, smiling warmly. He bowed to Xia Yushu and said, “Greetings, Brother Xia!”

He then looked at Wang Hongyu, sneered, and said, “Brother Wang is here too?”

“Huh, it’s you?” After seeing who it was, not only Xia Yushu but also Wang Hongyu were surprised.

The man was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was dressed in white with a Tai Chi symbol on it, and had a long sword hanging at his waist. He was handsome, elegant, and composed, with an indescribable air of charm and elegance.

This person is actually Yuan Fuyao, a direct disciple of Xuan Tian Daoist of the Shaoyue Sect!

Wang Hongyu stared at the other person, almost unable to believe his eyes: “Yuan Fuyao, you…you’re not dead?!”

Back when the Shaoyue Sect held a martial arts contest to find a husband, Yuan Fuyao was tricked by Wang Hongyu, who ruined her own sect. Afterwards, she went to Wang Hongyu to demand an explanation, but was “beaten to death” by him. Wang Hongyu never expected that this person was not only alive, but also alive and well, standing right in front of him!

Yuan Fuyao gave a cold laugh and said in a chilling tone, “Thanks to Brother Wang, I survived a great calamity and will have good fortune in the future. Hehe…” He sat down opposite Wang Hongyu without any politeness, raised his cup to drink tea, and occasionally cast cold glances at him.

Bai Bufan, who was standing to the side, said, “Brother Yuan and I have similar experiences. He was framed by Brother Wang and almost lost his life. Fortunately, he was saved by a master and his life was saved. That master also taught him unparalleled divine skills. Now, Brother Yuan has not only made great progress in martial arts, but has also successfully inherited the mantle of Xuantian Daoist and become the head of Shaoyue Sect!”

Xia Yushu could sense that the aura emanating from Yuan Fuyao was exactly the same as the others, clearly indicating that he had also cultivated the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demonic Art.” He was immediately delighted and asked, “I wonder who the expert behind Brother Yuan is?”

Yuan Fuyao smiled slightly, flicked her fingernails, and said with a smug look, “Ji Youxuan, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Demon Gods, known as ‘Demon Wisdom’.”

“Ah…” Xia Yushu was startled upon hearing this, followed by a surge of joy!

Both Long Zhanye and Jiang Yuangong are Earthly Fiends. In comparison, the Heavenly Fiends are much stronger, especially the “Demon Master” Sui Gaishi and the “Demon Wisdom” Ji Youxuan. Even among the Heavenly Fiends, they are ranked extremely high. Even Jiang Yuangong, the leader of the Earthly Fiends, is probably inferior to those two!

Xia Yushu was just worried about not being able to find the remaining demon gods, but unexpectedly two of them appeared at once, and they were such powerful ones at that, which made him overjoyed!

Because the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends are like brothers and sisters, they are all in the same boat, which means that the power of the Great Xia Dynasty will be unprecedentedly strengthened!

And he, Xia Yushu… is now the monarch of the Great Xia Dynasty. Almost everyone has to obey his orders, so you can imagine how powerful and influential he will become.

Just as Xia Yushu was overjoyed, Yuan Fuyao stared coldly at Wang Hongyu and said, “I really have to thank Brother Wang. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Wang Hongyu asked, “I wonder how Brother Yuan plans to thank me?”

Yuan Fuyao said coldly, “I plan to rip out your lungs, eat your flesh, and drink your blood…”

“I’m afraid you don’t have the ability,” Wang Hongyu replied with a sneer.

“You want to know what I’m capable of?” A powerful aura suddenly surged from Yuan Fuyao’s body, and a dense, dark golden aura swirled around his hands, rushing straight towards Wang Hongyu.

“Hmph!” Wang Hongyu was not to be outdone. A layer of dark golden light enveloped his entire body, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Fuyao, neither of them giving way.

The two men’s internal energy clashed, creating powerful shockwaves that shattered the tea table in front of them into dust. Even the dust was affected by their internal energy and couldn’t fall back down.

“Stop!” Xia Yushu shouted decisively.

At the same time, Bai Bufan tried to smooth things over, saying, “Brother Yuan, let it go.”

Wang Hongyu and Yuan Fuyao then stopped fighting. Their eyes met in the air for a moment. Yuan Fuyao’s expression remained indifferent, but Wang Hongyu felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease, wondering what abilities Yuan Fuyao possessed.

He knew very well that he and Yuan Fuyao had to come to an end sooner or later, and even with Xia Yushu and Bai Bufan mediating, it was impossible for the other party to forgive him.

Yuan Fuyao and Wang Hongyu sat back down, both lost in thought. Bai Bufan, on the other hand, wore a calm smile; the feud between the two was none of his concern.

Bai Bufan said with a wicked smile, “My two gentlemen, this coffee table is very expensive, you’ll have to compensate me.”

“Alright!” Xia Yushu waved his sleeve and looked at Wang Hongyu. “Brother Wang, just admit your mistake and this matter will be over.”

Wang Hongyu thought for a while before reluctantly cupping his hands towards Yuan Fuyao and saying, “Brother Yuan, I was wrong before. I will definitely give you a beauty as compensation.”

Yuan Fuyao sneered, “I want Wang Wanru!”

Wang Hongyu’s eyelids twitched, and he was about to speak when Xia Yushu stopped him, looked at Yuan Fuyao, and said, “Brother Yuan, you may not know this, but Princess Wanru is now my Imperial Concubine. How about you give me some face?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fuyao’s face turned pale and then red. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, since Brother Xia has said so, should I pursue this further? It’s no fun being a bully at home.”

“That’s right! As long as we defeat Kun Kingdom, we can have any woman we want!” Xia Yushu laughed heartily, then looked at Bai Bufan and said, “Brother Bai, you invited us for tea, did you just want to tell me this?”

Bai Bufan said, “Of course not. We all know in our hearts that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends are like brothers, inseparable. I presume that Brother Xia and Brother Wang have also cultivated supernatural abilities, which means that we are now the true ‘Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends,’ not just their successors!”

Wang Hongyu narrowed his eyes, his expression slightly unnatural, but Xia Yushu and the others did not notice. They were preoccupied with their own thoughts and had no time to pay attention to these issues.

Xia Yushu nodded and said, “That’s right. The ‘Dutian Shensha’ has 108 transformations, divided into 36 Heavenly Generals and 72 Earthly Fiends. Each transformation can only be embodied in one person, and each person can only cultivate one transformation. The transformations of the ‘Dutian Shensha’ can be any life form. Whoever cultivates this transformation becomes a Heavenly General or Earthly Fiend Demon God. Although the strength of those who cultivate it later is not as great as those who are born with it, they will eventually reach the same level.”

In other words, the superpowers cultivated by Xia Yushu and others are unique to demon gods, because the demon god with such superpowers has not yet been born. Therefore, such abilities have the potential to fall into the hands of cultivators, who must possess extremely high martial arts talent. The talents of the ‘Four Elders of Qiankun’ are not sufficient, which is why no superpowers have appeared to date.

If this superpower were to fall into the hands of Xia Yushu and his group, it would mean that no demon god with that ability would be born.

Therefore, Xia Yushu and his companions are now members of the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Demon Gods”.

Bai Bufan said, “Now that we’re all family, there’s no need for so much nonsense. Before the Demon Master left, he instructed me to take over as the abbot of the Great Zen Temple, to take control of its power, and then to find Brother Xia and assist him in sweeping across the Qiankun Continent, gradually realizing our great cause of unifying the Three Realms as the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Gods!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yushu’s lips curved into a smile, appearing quite satisfied. It seemed he had gained the approval of the older generation of Heavenly and Earthly Fiend Demon Gods and was about to become the nominal leader of the Demon Gods.

Indeed, this is true. Xia Yushu has the blood of the Tianxia royal family. Now that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Demon Gods are based in the Tianxia Dynasty, Xia Yushu is the best candidate to lead them.

Despite this, Xia Yushu remained modest and sighed, “If the Demon Lord were not still asleep, I, Xia Yushu, would have no say. Alas…” The Demon Lord is the head of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Gods, and also the true leader of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Gods, the strongest being.

At this moment, Yuan Fuyao said, “According to Mo Zhi, the Demon Lord possesses an immortal body. Back then, the Demon Lord was dismembered by his enemies and cut into six parts, which were suppressed in different places on the Qiankun Continent. Mo Zhi and several other seniors are busy searching for the Demon Lord’s body and trying to find a way to revive him, which is why they have not appeared yet.”

Bai Bufan sneered, “In fact, we, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Gods, have already awakened our Heavenly aspect. It’s just that everyone has more important tasks to do. Otherwise… hehe, what are those so-called Gan Dynasty and Kun Kingdom? They would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye!”

Hearing this, Xia Yushu felt even more at ease. He smiled slightly and said, “That’s right. As long as we brothers are of one mind, what enemy can’t we defeat?”

“Kill that brat Qi Fei first!”

“Fuck the women of Kun Kingdom to death!”

“Ha ha…………”

The four of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The rest was much easier. Xia Yushu never expected that he would not only not need to target the Great Zen Temple and the Shaoyue Sect, but also effortlessly bring these two martial arts forces under his control, directly strengthening the power of the Great Xia Dynasty.

With Bai Bufan and Yuan Fuyao in charge, and the Great Xia Dynasty having considerable power, the people from the Great Zen Temple and the Shaoyue Sect dared not utter a single word of opposition. Although a few monks and Taoists expressed their dissatisfaction, they were killed in public by Xia Yushu, leaving all the monks and Taoists in awe!

At the same time, Wang Wanru and the Snow Mountain Nun were also taken to the Great Zen Temple. Xia Yushu ordered Tian Shou and the Shao Yue Sect to apologize to Wang Wanru and Wang Hongyu, and the matter of Wang Tianlong’s death was left unresolved.

…

On the mountain path of Jinding Mountain.

Feng Liyao was using her lightness skill to quickly dart up the mountain.

Before this, she went to the Great Xia Imperial Palace, intending to take Wang Wanru away directly. However, she was too late. When she arrived at the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Wang Wanru and the Snow Mountain Nun had already been taken away by Xia Yushu’s people.

Feng Liyao immediately headed towards Cuiwei Mountain, intending to go and support Feng Jianqing and the others.

Unexpectedly, she received news halfway there that the people from the Great Xia Dynasty and the experts from the Kun Kingdom had all gone to the Great Zen Temple, so she turned back to Golden Peak Mountain.

Fortunately, the Five Immortals Sect, the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Listening to Rain Pavilion had disciples all over the world who were constantly inquiring and passing on information; otherwise, she would have had to take countless detours.

Just as Feng Liyao was quickly passing the stone steps of Jinding Mountain, a dark shadow came from the foot of the mountain, quickly passing through the air and “whoosh” over the dense forest, like a hawk.

Feng Liyao raised an eyebrow and abruptly stopped.

At the same time, the dark figure suddenly flew out from the dense forest above, turned back, and quickly swept towards Feng Liyao’s location, appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye and blocking her way.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

This was an old man in black robes, his entire head covered by a large black cloak. However, he was standing at the top of the mountain path stone steps, and Feng Liyao recognized him at a glance as “Demon Lord” Jiang Yuangong.

Feng Liyao glanced at the other person and said indifferently, “Where is the Demon Lord going?”

Jiang Yuangong replied, “I plan to go to Tianchan Temple and kill all of the Empress’s people.”

Feng Liyao glanced at her with her phoenix eyes and said, “What a coincidence, I was also planning to go to the Great Zen Temple to kill all your people.”

Jiang Yuangong chuckled and said, “I’m afraid you don’t have the ability. How can you fight against us brothers all by yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Liyao was startled and thought to herself that something was wrong. Could it be that Jiang Yuangong was not the only one among the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends in the world?

If a large number of the enemy’s people appear, and their martial arts skills reach the peak of the Innate Realm or even the Heavenly Realm, it will be extremely disadvantageous for her.

Thinking of this, Feng Liyao clenched her fists and said, “Since we’ve met, why don’t we settle this with a fight to the death?” She planned to take the opportunity to eliminate Jiang Yuangong first, so as to weaken the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demons.

“Alright, I’m itching to do the same.” Jiang Yuangong wasn’t afraid at all. As he spoke, a dark golden light shot out from his eyes, and his aura surged, a powerful fighting spirit rushing straight towards Feng Liyao.

Feng Liyao didn’t hesitate either. She pushed her jade palm forward, and a red sun instantly appeared in her palm. The red sun rolled and moved, with golden crows leaping inside, pushing straight towards Jiang Yuangong.

Jiang Yuangong swung his arms, his fists flying in a barrage, continuously striking the red sun, causing it to explode and shatter the golden crow.

Feng Liyao swiftly closed in, her figure radiating the brilliance of the red sun and blue moon, unleashing destructive power that surged forth like a tidal wave, relentlessly attacking Jiang Yuangong.

Knowing the danger, Jiang Yuangong used his unparalleled “Three Heads and Six Arms” technique. His three heads rotated back and forth, and his six arms flew continuously. He was not only able to block Feng Liyao’s attacks, but also find opportunities to counterattack.

The two attacked relentlessly, and powerful air currents exploded continuously during the battle, causing a series of explosions along the mountain path. The surrounding vegetation was affected and quickly devastated.

Jiang Yuangong glanced at the rising sun in the sky. It was a warm spring day with great sunshine, which greatly helped Feng Liyao. “Red Sun Shines Over the World” could only unleash its strongest power during the day when the sun was shining, while “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” could only unleash its strongest power at night when the moon was shining.

The “Sun and Moon Divine Skill” possesses both of these characteristics. Whether it is day or night, as long as there is a sun or a moon, it can unleash powerful energy. It can draw on the power of nature and use the power of heaven and earth in its moves. It can also replenish its own energy consumption through the radiance of the sun and moon, and even become stronger the more it fights.

Therefore, fighting outdoors is extremely advantageous for Feng Liyao, but very disadvantageous for Jiang Yuangong.

However, if Jiang Yuangong wanted to leave, Feng Liyao would not be able to stop him. Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He planned to see Feng Liyao’s abilities first and figure out her martial arts style so that he could deal with her in the future.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging hundreds of blows in the blink of an eye…
