Chapter 280 Chen An’s Plan, Nirvana in Flames
Seeing the Nine Nether Jade, Wuji Ghost Emperor's eyes lit up: "I have also heard of this thing, and you actually have one in your hand!"
This rumor has spread throughout the underworld tens of thousands of years ago, fascinated countless powerful people and tried to find it.
But later many people spent years of energy and ended up with nothing.
There was even a rumor that a few people had actually gathered together the Nine Nether Jade and found the place where the ancient saint practiced. However, they all suffered severe injuries after coming out and passed away not long after.
There are many different opinions, but it is an indisputable fact that there are several places left by ancient saints in the underworld.
With the treasure right before his eyes, Wuji Ghost Emperor tried his best to suppress his inner impulse. Mo Xue was, after all, one of the Ghost Emperors under the command of Saint Ancestor Jiemie. Although he was not afraid of him, at least he could not have any evil thoughts in public.
Mo Xue took in the other party's reaction and put away the Nine Nether Jade: "That's right, do you want to consider my proposal again? As long as you can capture a stronghold in the Xiuxian world, this item will belong to you."
Wuji Ghost Emperor thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "No need to think about it, we will cooperate according to your proposal!"
As night falls, the gloomy moonlight shines on the edge of the vast earth, illuminating a hazy gray mist.
Mo Xue returned with four Ghost Kings. Except for the Wuji Ghost King whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of fusion, the other three Ghost Kings were in the early stage of fusion.
Together with Mo Xue himself and Chen An, a strong man who was apparently in the early stage of fusion but was actually in the middle stage of fusion, five Ghost Emperors gathered here, and dozens of Ghost Kings followed closely behind.
Chen An also received Mo Xue's message and rushed over from the Yellow Springs Region.
He stepped into the hall, his eyes swept over these powerful underworld warriors, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This woman Mo Xue can really call so many cultivators together, she is really a social butterfly."
With so many Ghost Kings, the inner elixir alone is enough for cultivation for a while. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel some admiration for Mo Xue.
However, no matter how good a chess piece is, there will come a time when it has to be abandoned. After all, if it happens once, twice, it won't happen again for the third time. After the success of this operation, Mo Xue will definitely have some doubts. For safety reasons, he has to consider turning it into a resource for his own cultivation.
Everyone sat down and gathered in the dark hall. They sat in a circle and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.
Wuji Ghost Emperor spoke first: "We must be careful and cautious in this action. Although the human race seems to have let down their guard, we must not take it lightly."
"I suggest that I lead the main force to advance first to attract their attention; Mo Xue leads a part of the elite troops to go around the flank to create chaos; as for Huang Quan, he will stay behind and provide support at any time."
Hearing this, Mo Xue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Brother Wuji's words make sense, but in my opinion, we can be more clever."
She swept her eyes over every Ghost King present and continued, "The human race is afraid of the Nether Qi. We can use the advantage of the Nether Qi to suppress the human race's strength. At the same time, when entering the Immortal Cultivation World, we can release some low-level souls and let them explore the way first. In this way, even if the human race notices us, it can distract their attention."
Upon hearing this, Wuji Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "Sister Mo Xue is absolutely right. If you have no other opinions, then follow this method!"
Chen An raised his eyebrows, secretly cursing the woman in his heart, and then said: "I think it's better for me to switch with Mo Xue. Although her psychedelic power is not bad and can be of great help to our main force, she is the weakest after all, so it is safest to be in charge of the rear."
"This"
Wuji Ghost Emperor was in a dilemma for a moment. This was what he had originally planned. After all, the Nine Nether Jade was still in this woman's hands, and he really didn't want the other party to encounter even the slightest accident.
When he was hesitant, he turned to look at Mo Xue, intending to ask for his opinion.
Mo Xue glanced at Chen An in slight surprise, then nodded slightly: "Okay, let's arrange it this way."
After the meeting, Chen An walked out of the hall very satisfied. As long as he inserted himself in the middle, he could cut off the ghost army of the underworld. After killing Mo Xue, he and his master would attack the underworld army from the front and back, and no one would be able to escape.
As for the two suggestions put forward by Mo Xue, on the premise of knowing the plan of the Underworld Army, they will have almost no impact on the human race, and they can even take advantage of the enemy and lure the enemy deep into the world-suppressing formation.
Feeling refreshed, he was about to return to the Underworld to prepare for the battle.
When he turned around, he unexpectedly found a slender figure exuding the aura of fire, who always cast curious glances at him from time to time.
This woman's soul is solid, between reality and illusion, and has clearly reached the perfect strength of the sixth order. She is only one step away from becoming a ghost king and generating flesh and blood.
Chen An felt somewhat familiar with this aura, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. However, he didn't care too much about it. After all, in a short time, the Ghost Emperor and Ghost King here would be transformed into inner elixir resources.
After everyone made a plan, Chen An returned to the Yellow Springs Realm and began to make intensive preparations for the upcoming war.
Not only in the Yellow Springs Realm, but also in the Ghost Realm, countless ghosts were summoned and underwent strict array training to ensure their combat capabilities on the battlefield.
Mo Xue even personally supervised the battle, commanding the ghost kings to select elite troops to strengthen the overall combat effectiveness of the ghost army.
At the same time, the Wuji Ghost Emperor was also making intensive preparations. He dispatched a seventh-level primary Ghost Emperor who was good at hiding and spying to investigate both ends of the passage and collect intelligence about the human race's defense line.
As time goes by, the atmosphere in the underworld becomes more and more tense, and all preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Both the Yellow Springs Realm and the Ghost Realm are making the final sprint for the upcoming war, and the human race does not seem to have noticed the unusual movements in the underworld. Not only have they not made any response, but they have even relaxed their usual patrols and defenses.
And this is obviously the best time to attack!
According to the plan, Wuji Ghost Emperor was the first to enter the world of immortal cultivation, followed by Chen An, and Mo Xue stayed behind to cover the rear.
The Wuji Ghost Emperor stood in front of the dark passage between the two worlds. His eyes were as sharp as torches, revealing an unparalleled self-confidence.
Beside him, Mo Xue and the other Ghost Kings stood in a cluster, each of them had a smile of confidence on their face, as if they had foreseen the glorious moment that was about to come.
After careful preparation and planning, the Ghost Kings were convinced that this action would be conducted secretly and the human race's defenses would collapse under their offensive.
The most important thing is, according to the intelligence, there are only two fusion cultivators on the opposite side, and both of them are in the early stage of fusion. On their side, they not only have Wuji Ghost Emperor, a ghost emperor in the middle stage of the seventh level, but also five ghost kings in the early stage of the seventh level, which is enough to crush the opponent!
"Everything is ready, everyone follow me!"
The voice of Wuji Ghost Emperor was steady and powerful, and he immediately led several Ghost Emperors, dozens of Ghost Kings, and countless Hades cultivators, and swarmed into the passage between the two worlds.
Chen An stood behind the Wuji Ghost King. His expression was completely different from that of the other Ghost Kings, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed across the corners of his mouth.
The morale of the Underworld Army was high at this moment. The Wuji Ghost Emperor was the first to step into the passage to the world of immortal cultivation, and the Underworld Army followed closely behind him, like a black torrent sweeping over.
When they finally set foot on this vibrant land, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. There was a sweet smell in the air, which was the unique spiritual energy of the world of immortal cultivation.
The members of the Underworld Army showed joy on their faces, and it seemed that even the air had become sweet. On an ice island below, there were only a few monks guarding it, as if everything was within their reach.
However, just as the Underworld Army was immersed in the joy of victory, bright rays of light suddenly emerged in the sky, as if the stars in the sky had fallen and turned into a huge curtain of light, covering all the Underworld Army.
This light curtain suppressed the underworld energy in the bodies of the underworld monks, greatly reducing their strength and catching all the underworld troops off guard. This sudden change woke them up completely.
"This is." Wuji Ghost Emperor's face suddenly changed. He felt that his power was suppressed, and the dark energy in his body was not flowing smoothly, as if it was bound by an invisible force.
He looked back and saw that the underworld soldiers who followed him all had pale faces and were obviously experiencing the same situation.
They had originally been confident of victory, but now they seemed weak and powerless.
"Oh no, it's a trap, retreat quickly!"
When the Wuji Ghost Emperor discovered that something was not right, he made a prompt decision and immediately ordered a retreat to the underworld.
But it was too late. A suffocating curtain of light covered the entrance to the underworld, cutting off their retreat.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
At this moment, Chen An fell from the sky like a meteor across the sky.
"Treacherous human race, this is a trap you have designed long ago!"
Wuji Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth and said, in this situation, even a fool could see that it was a trap.
At the same time, on the ice island below, a large army of human monks came over, causing all the underworld soldiers to hold their breath. "What are you talking about? This is not a trap. We are just sending you back to the underworld!"
Chen An smiled coldly and without wasting any time, he took decisive action, targeting those weaker Ghost Kings.
His movements were as fast as lightning, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Tu Ji Mountain in his hand smashed down, instantly defeating one of the Ghost Kings in the early stage of fusion and killing him on the spot.
This series of actions stunned everyone present, even the Wuji Ghost Emperor was no exception.
Upon seeing this, Wuji Ghost Emperor immediately sacrificed a bead that exuded a strong evil aura.
A gray light shot out, barely tearing a hole in the light curtain of the World Suppression Array.
Upon seeing this, Wuji Ghost Emperor immediately flew out and escaped the suppression of the formation in an instant.
Chen An held up Tuji Mountain with his left hand, suppressing the mountains and rivers, and wielded the soul-binding chains with his right hand, sweeping away everything.
The Wuji Evil Pearl in the hands of the Wuji Ghost Emperor is extremely powerful. Every encounter will cause violent fluctuations of evil energy, making the surrounding space tremble.
Even the weaker underworld soldiers nearby who were unable to dodge in time were affected and instantly turned into a stream of evil spirit, completely merging with the world they had always dreamed of.
The fight between the two lasted for a long time. Relying on his profound cultivation and the two mysterious treasures in his hands, Chen An gradually gained the upper hand.
At this time, above Iceland, Xuanjizi led the human army and soared into the sky.
"This bunch of country bumpkins who are cultivating the underworld can't even find the hidden formation." Xuanjizi sneered, and immediately led the human army to quickly surround the underworld army.
As time goes by, the balance of victory is slowly tilting towards the human race.
Wuji Ghost Emperor was in a state of panic, and he was furious and asked, "Where are Mo Xue and Huang Quan? Why haven't they come to support us yet?"
Chen An said coldly: "I'm afraid those two people can't come to support you."
According to his plan, the human army temporarily withdrew and the world-suppressing formation was temporarily closed to lure the underworld army to attack.
Then the split soul will cut off the enemy's army, weaken its strength, and attack it together with the main body. The Hades army will naturally die!
At this moment, at the other end of the passage between the two worlds, the situation was much more peaceful compared to the river of blood here.
According to the plan, Mo Xue was at the rear, and Chen An's soul was in front of her.
Just as Wuji Ghost Emperor led the ghost army into the passage, Chen An stopped and did not move forward. A moment later, Yin Dao walked out of the passage and said in a deep voice: "Everything is ready!"
Mo Xue looked at Chen An in surprise. When their eyes met, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
"Why don't you go to support?" There was a hint of questioning in Mo Xue's voice.
Chen An's soul smiled slightly: "The winner has been decided, why bother going again."
His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable tone.
Mo Xue gradually realized that something was wrong. She wondered why this person would intercept her at this time and place? Moreover, the other party's attitude seemed unusually indifferent, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the battle.
In other words, it seemed that the underworld army was bound to be defeated!
"you"
Before Mo Xue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen An.
"Have you not reacted yet?"
Chen An sneered, his eyes flashing with coldness, "Today, between you and me, only one person can leave here."
Mo Xue's heart trembled, she realized that the purpose of the person in front of her was not to stop her from providing support, but to attack her.
She quickly took a few steps back and looked warily at the familiar-looking stranger in front of her.
Even the underworld army behind her was in an uproar, shocked by the sudden change before them and didn't know what to do.
Chen An said no more. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a black fan with an ancient shape appeared in his hand, exuding a sharp aura.
"This is the treasure of the Purple Robe Reverend!"
Mo Xue pointed at the black fan and said in shock. She remembered very clearly that when the Purple-Robed Venerable gave her the Boundary-Breaking Talisman, he was holding this black fan in his hand.
Chen An sneered and said, "Yes, it is the relic of the Purple Robe Venerable."
As he spoke, he waved the black fan without hesitation, and black wind blades attacked Mo Xue.
Mo Xue knew that something was wrong, and quickly waved the pink bridal veil on her shoulders. A faint pink light flowed on the bridal veil, trying to block the black wind blade that was wrapped in the law of wind.
As the battle progressed, Chen An wanted to end the battle quickly, so he took out the black petals again. The petals exuded a disgusting corrosive smell, which made Mo Xue frown repeatedly.
He threw the petals out, and they flew like living things towards Mo Xue.
Mo Xue tried her best to resist, but she was eventually severely injured by Chen An. She fell to the ground covered with wounds, her breath weak, and even her dress was tattered by the corrosive force, looking in a miserable state.
"Next time, don't be born in the underworld!"
Chen An had a cold expression and was about to kill the opponent and seize the Ghost King's inner elixir.
At this moment, a tornado of fire suddenly fell from the sky, swept up Mo Xue's body, and boundless flames madly penetrated into every inch of her skin. In an instant, her body turned extremely red.
Mo Xue's shrill screams echoed throughout the entire nearby area, and she kept wailing. The sudden change scared the ghost army behind her and they fled frantically.
The ghosts who were originally ready to welcome victory were now all fleeing in all directions, and the scene was in chaos.
Without Chen An's orders, Yin Dao and You Chen led their troops to deal with the enemy's deserters.
Chen An looked at the sudden change in front of him and Mo Xue rolling on the ground. He frowned, not understanding what was going on.
And the fire whirlwind just now seemed to be caused by the female cultivator who exuded the aura of fire.
Although cultivators who practice extremely strong and masculine methods are rare in the underworld, they do exist. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but he didn't expect that this woman would devour her master at the critical moment?
Before his eyes, in the whirlwind of fire, Mo Xue's body began to tremble violently, her skin was covered in flames, as if she was going to melt completely.
Mo Xue's hair began to change color. Her originally shiny black hair gradually turned into a fiery red under the burning flames, as if it had been dyed by lava. Her eyes also gradually turned scarlet, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in the depths of her eyes.
As the fire tornado continued to devour, Mo Xue's appearance was also undergoing earth-shaking changes. Her cheeks became thinner, and tiny flame lines appeared between her eyebrows, as if they were a natural mark.
Mo Xue's body was also changing. Her originally fair skin was wrapped in layers of flames, and the surface of her skin began to show a strange luster, as if it had been forged by flames.
Her limbs also became more slender, but full of strength.
As the changes intensified, a huge vortex of fire began to rise behind Mo Xue. In the center of the vortex was a dazzling fire spirit bead, surrounded by countless tiny fire runes. These runes seemed to have life, constantly rotating and emitting dazzling flames.
Suddenly, Mo Xue stopped wailing, slowly raised her head and looked at Chen An, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Chen An noticed that the appearance and temperament of the "Mo Xue" in front of him had changed greatly. Her hair had turned from black to a bright red, and the scars left by the battle had disappeared. Instead, there were a few fine flame patterns, like a tattoo, spreading along her neck to her shoulders, adding a bit of wild beauty.
Everything that happened before his eyes was very clear. The fire tornado had already swallowed up Mo Xue. With this, the opponent broke through in one fell swoop and reached the level of Ghost King!
And the most important thing is that the other person's expression is actually somewhat similar to that of the Chixia Fairy he met on Shenglin Island. If Chen An had not spent some time with her on Shenglin Island, it would have been difficult for him to discover this.
