Chapter 192 The Thin Line of Life and Death

The Shang Dynasty had been established for more than two hundred years and had been passed down to the thirteenth king, Zu Yi, but it did not worship many practitioners like the Xia Dynasty.

It’s not that there are no powerful humans in Jiuzhou, but most of them were led by Fuxi to the Fire Cloud Cave, and then to the Netherworld to assist Cheng Tang!

The laws of nature are constant. They do not exist for the sake of Yao or die for the sake of Jie. After the incident with Lugui, the Three Emperors all felt that it was not a good thing to have too many practitioners who obeyed the Human King!
The change of dynasties is not only a change of God's will, but also the trend of human nature. When a dynasty declines, a new dynasty needs to emerge.

If a king like Lugui appeared in the old dynasty, who did not care about the lives of the people at all, the existence of practitioners would be a disaster.

Since human kings cannot practice cultivation, Fuxi and Shennong Xuanyuan discussed it and decided that it would be most appropriate to suppress the scale of dynasty changes to below that of immortals.

They asked Dayu to modify the Jiuzhou barrier. As long as there were human beings who became true immortals in Jiuzhou, the Jiuzhou barrier would lead them to the Fire Cloud Cave.

but……

Today, locust monsters are invading various parts of Kyushu, but because there are few practitioners, they are caught off guard and suffer serious losses.

Zu Yi had no choice but to seek help from Huoyun Cave.

The Fire Cloud Cave immediately sent two Golden Immortals, but they failed to find the real body of the locust plague armadillo, and it would be of no avail no matter how many locust monsters they killed.

"Senior Kui Xiang, Senior Fu Yi, if the locust monster is not eliminated, the land of Kyushu will not be at peace!"

Zu Yi said anxiously.

Kui Xiang and Fu Yi in front of them were the Daluo Jinxian sent by Huoyun Cave, but although they killed many locust monsters, they did not solve the root problem.

From time to time, his ministers would bring news that a certain place was hit by a locust plague.

Although the barrier set up by Dayu could suppress the power of monsters, no matter how weak the monsters were, they were not something that ordinary humans could deal with.

Faced with an armadillo that can transform into billions of forms, even though Kui Xiang and Fu Yi have great magical powers, they are unable to kill it in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Kui Xiang hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, King Ren. His Majesty Fuxi has already used the River Chart and the Luoshu to deduce the true form of the locust plague armadillo!"

"That's right!"

Fu Yi also echoed, "Although the armadillo is cunning and his true body has not entered Jiuzhou, he has attacked our human race, so he must pay the price!"

"As long as His Majesty Fuxi can deduce the whereabouts of his true self, the two of us will immediately take action and use thunderous means to make him regret attacking our human race!"

"Human King, please be patient!"

Both of them achieved enlightenment during the reign of Emperor Tian, ​​and were considered the best among the human race. Knowing the armadillo's behavior, they were very angry.

But unfortunately...

Although the two are quite capable, they are not very good at tracing cause and effect.

That’s why we haven’t been able to find the armadillo for a long time!
I can only ask Fuxi for help.

After hearing that someone from Huoyun Cave had come, Xuanyuan and Han Yi also came to the palace. They wanted to see whether the two Daluo Jinxian sent by Huoyun Cave had found the locust plague armadillo.

"I've met the king!"

"I've met two seniors!"

After revealing their identities, Han Yi and Xuan Yuan were directly led into the palace.

Seeing this, Zu Yi couldn't help but exclaimed in delight: "So it's the Imperial Master! And Marshal Taixuan!"

An incarnation of Tongtian Jiaozhu once used the identity of Han Yi and became the first national teacher of the Shang Dynasty. As the king of Shang, Zu Yi naturally knew Han Yi.

Xuanyuan has become famous in recent years for his frequent slaying of demons and monsters. The previous Shang king, He Danjia, even directly bestowed the title of Marshal Taixuan on him.

Han Yi got straight to the point and asked, "Seniors, have you found the whereabouts of the armadillo?"

"No!" Kui Xiang shook his head: "That fellow is too cunning. I don't know what he used to conceal the secret of heaven. His Majesty Fuxi is calculating it!"

Xuan Yuan frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "When did that armadillo guy become so cunning?"

He had been attacked by an armadillo before, so he had some understanding of its nature.

At this time, another Daluo Jinxian of the human race suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty Fuxi, I have already deduced the hiding place of the armadillo guy!"

"Too true?"

Kui Xiang was very surprised: "There is no time to lose, let's act quickly and don't let that guy get away!"

So, Kui Xiang, Han Yi, Xuan Yuan, the Holy Mother of Gui Ling, and the two generals Gui Snake, under the leadership of Fu Yi, immediately went to the place where the armadillo was hiding.

This is a canyon-like place.

However, those who arrived here were not only Han Yi and others, but also the Golden Immortals of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, and the ancestor of the Yuanshi clan - Jiuling Yuansheng!
"Fellow Daoist Jin Peng?"

Han Yi looked at the two Daluo Jinxian of the Phoenix clan. One of them was Kong Xuan’s brother, Jin Peng, who had assisted Cheng Tang in destroying the Xia Dynasty.

Hundreds of years later, he also broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the Daluo Jinxian realm. Jin Peng was also surprised, looking at the group of people who appeared, and asked: "Why are you here?"

Han Yi replied: "The armadillo attacked Jiuzhou, and Emperor Fuxi used the River Map and Luoshu to deduce the enemy's true form, which was hidden in this canyon!"

"Dragon Clan Ao Yuan, nice to meet you fellow Taoists!" The Daluo Jinxian, the leader of the Dragon Clan, also spoke up, "We are here to hunt down Feng Zai Wenshen. That guy suddenly attacked the South China Sea and killed several Taiyi Jinxians of our Dragon Clan. We two received news from Lord Yinglong that he is hiding here!"

Jiuling Yuansheng frowned, seeming a little uneasy: "Qizhu killed two young people in my clan, I came here to follow his trail!"

"What a coincidence?"

Jin Peng was a little bit unbelievable and said, "Chi Huang and I came here because the Phoenix Clan was attacked by Fei Yi, and Aunt Xuanniao asked us to come and kill him!"

"No, it's a trick!"

Han Yi instantly felt that something was wrong. The simultaneous appearance of the human race, the dragon race, the phoenix race, and the Nine-Spirited Saint here must have been the result of deliberate guidance.

The other people also noticed something unusual, and their minds swept directly towards the void around them.

"late!"

Thousands of demon pillars suddenly appeared in the void, with terrifying totems carved on them. Rolling demonic energy continued to rise from these demon pillars.

Among them, the four largest demon pillars are thousands of feet high and are located in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. They are carved with the images of the four great ferocious beasts, including Qiongqi and Hun Dun.

The four people, Fei Yi, the drought disaster, Armadillo, the locust disaster, Qi Zhong, the plague disaster, and Wen Xian, the wind disaster, were standing on the four demon pillars with demonic energy all around them.

"Boom!"

The void trembled, and the demonic energy spread along the Demon Pillar, instantly opening a void passage, actually trying to teleport Han Yi and his group to an unknown place.

"not good!"

Among the crowd, Jiuling Yuansheng was the strongest and the first to react. He immediately revealed his Yuanshi Dharma form and unleashed a terrifying magical power that was enough to destroy the world.

but……

After all, it’s still a step too late!
Han Yi, Xuan Yuan, and the two generals Turtle and Snake, these four Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, as well as the six Daluo Golden Immortal powerhouses from the human, dragon and phoenix clans, including the two great masters, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and Nine Spirits Yuansheng, all felt the earth spinning and the sky dizzying, and were instantly sucked into the vortex evolved from the demonic energy.

The Fire Cloud Cave, the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and the Immortal Volcano all realized something was wrong at once, and powerful auras rose into the sky, causing changes in the celestial phenomena of the ancient world.

"Being plotted!"

The spiritual thoughts of Fuxi, Xuanniao and Yinglong, three great masters with supernatural powers, instantly appeared above the canyon, but whether it was Han Yi, Jin Peng and others, or the thousands of demon pillars, or the four armadillos... they had all disappeared!
All of them were leaders of a clan, and with a thought, they were able to restore most of the facts to their original state.

The four armadillos attacked the human race, the dragon race, the phoenix race and the Yuanshi race respectively, in order to lure the strong men from each race out of their holes and into this canyon.

Then, with the help of the power of the formation, it was teleported to an unknown time and space.

Yinglong spoke first: "Daoist Fuxi, can you figure out where they were teleported to?"

Among the three, Fuxi, who is proficient in the innate Bagua, is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of deductive ability.

"The abyss of darkness!"

Fuxi's face looked extremely ugly.

He is Nuwa's brother and one of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace. Naturally, he knows where the Abyss of Darkness is and what everyone will face.

After the great war between Taoism and demons, Luohou was defeated. In order to keep the inheritance of the demonic path alive, he transformed himself into the demon world and made a prophecy of heaven that "Taoism will disappear and demons will rise".

And that abyss of darkness is like a passage leading to the devil world, containing endless horrors. Anyone below the level of a Golden Immortal will surely die if they enter it.

Although the Golden Immortals and those with great supernatural powers are better off, if they are not careful, they will also face the risk of being eroded by the original demonic energy and falling into the devil's way.

"what?"

Xuanniao and Yinglong were both shocked.

Being from the Dragon and Phoenix clans, they knew only too well how terrifying the original demonic energy was.

During the Longhan Catastrophe, the number of creatures from the three tribes who were contaminated by the primordial demonic energy, betrayed their races, and joined the ranks of the Demon Ancestor Luohou was simply incalculable.

"We need a saint to help!" Fuxi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said, "Only a saint can be fearless of the invasion of the origin of the devil's energy!"

He knew more than Yinglong and Xuanniao.

The Abyss of Darkness had originally been sealed by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, but during the first war between wizards and demons, the demon clan's Zhoutian Star Fighting Array and the wizard clan's Twelve Dutian Divine Array confronted each other, and the power released destroyed Daoist Ancestor's seal.

The Demon Emperor Di Jun was the first to discover it and sent more than ten Great Demon Gods into the Abyss of Darkness to investigate, but in the end, only six Great Demon Gods returned.

And those six were the Fire Huo Dou, Flood Chang You, Drought Fei Yi, Locust Armadillo, Plague Qi Zhong and Wind Wen Xian who had been contaminated by the primordial evil energy and fallen into the evil way. As soon as the six came out, they used the primordial evil energy to transform all the demons they led into monsters that only knew how to kill!

Donghuang Taiyi, relying on the Chaos Bell to protect himself, also went to investigate, but he was unable to deal with the original evil energy.

Therefore, in the end they could only ask Nuwa, who had just achieved sainthood, to repair the seal left by Daozu and suppress the six demon gods including Huodou!
