Chapter 737: Emperor Xuan Sha Enters the Underworld

"Both sides suffer heavy losses?" Tian Chenzi asked, puzzled.

"Zhong Shan and Ye Qingcheng, one of them will definitely die, and the other will surely be injured!" Tian Xiaozi asserted.

"Are you that confident?"

"Yes, Zhong Shan has recently reached the Tianji Realm. Although he can open the cycle of reincarnation, he is still no match for Ye Qingcheng, but not too far behind. Additionally, Da Zhen has Nangong Sheng. Even if we include Yin Luori, their combined strength is above Ye Qingcheng\'s. However, the Ageless Realm has some old monsters, giving them an advantage. With both sides fighting, our Tian family can take advantage and achieve great results!" Tian Xiaozi explained earnestly.

"Oh?"

"At the same time, I have notified Xiao Wang to prepare our forces. Once the Black Sea Duel concludes, and if Zhong Shan dies, we will swiftly take over the Da Zhen Imperial Dynasty. If Ye Qingcheng dies, we will take over the Five-Colored Dynasty!" Tian Xiaozi continued.

"Hmm, how many people do you need?" Tian Chenzi asked.

"To ensure absolute success, I need eight people!" Tian Xiaozi confirmed.

"Alright, I will give them to you," Tian Chenzi nodded.

Four months later, in the Tian family, at the Tian Mai Hall.

Tian Xiaozi listened to a subordinate\'s report.

"What? The Black Sea Duel is known to the world?" Tian Xiaozi\'s tone turned cold.

"Yes, family head, the news of the Black Sea Duel has spread everywhere," the subordinate reported.

Tian Xiaozi paced back and forth in the hall, deep in thought.

"Family head, should we cancel our plans?"

"No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have worked hard to lure them to the Black Sea. How can we miss it? Even if the world knows, so what? I refuse to believe anyone would dare oppose our Tian family. Continue with the plan and notify Xiao Wang to accelerate the preparations!" Tian Xiaozi ordered.

"Yes!"

In the Da Zhen Imperial Dynasty, Changjing, in Zhong Shan\'s study.

Gu Qianyou stood beside Zhong Shan, and in front of them stood a woman in white, her feet not touching the ground. She bowed gracefully to Zhong Shan.

"Ruyan greets her benefactor!" the woman bowed gracefully.

"Back in the Yang realm, I helped you find Xiao Wang, and you gave me the \'Ten Halls.\' There is no need for such a title," Zhong Shan said, gently lifting Ruyan.

"No, you sent Miss Qianyou to rescue me from the Tian family. I am forever grateful," Ruyan shook her head.

"Wasn\'t the Tian family good to you?"

"The Tian family treated me very well, fulfilling all my needs and providing hundreds of servants just for me. But I despise such treatment because I know the Tian family is using me to imprison my husband. They turned me into a golden cage to trap my faraway husband. My husband is a great man and shouldn\'t be confined because of me. I am eternally grateful to you for saving me!" Ruyan explained.

"Did the Tian family not help you reincarnate?"

"Reincarnate? My husband would never allow it. Reincarnation would mean losing almost all memories and becoming a Tian family member. My husband experienced reincarnation and does not want me to go through it. He retained his past life memories by luck, thus not truly belonging to the Tian family. But if I reincarnate, everything would be erased, with only a one percent chance of success!" Ruyan shook her head.

"One percent chance? Xiao Wang truly is fortunate. Not only did he transform from a ghost with a one percent chance, but he also became human with another one percent chance while retaining his memories. Remarkable, truly remarkable!" Zhong Shan nodded, sighing in admiration.

"Will you let me see my husband?" Ruyan asked, looking at Zhong Shan.

Though grateful to Zhong Shan, Ruyan feared that he might use her to imprison Xiao Wang, rendering her escape meaningless.

Seeing Ruyan\'s concern, Zhong Shan said, "Rest assured, Ruyan, I am not like the Tian family. I will not restrict your freedom. In a few months, I will send you to Xiao Wang, accompanied by another ghost. For now, stay in Changjing."

"Who?" Ruyan asked, frowning.

"Jian Hong," Zhong Shan replied.

After sending off Ruyan, Zhong Shan looked at Gu Qianyou.

"Well done!" Zhong Shan praised.

"Perhaps we should thank Xiao Qing this time," Gu Qianyou smiled.

"Oh?"

"During the ancestral beast\'s rampage at the Tian family, we used that brief window to meet Ruyan and replace her with the \'fake ghost\' created by Mr. Corpse," Gu Qianyou explained confidently.

"Ancestral beast? Truly fated!" Zhong Shan laughed heartily.

"Indeed, otherwise, it would have taken much longer. We owe this smooth operation to Xiao Qing!"

"Since the task is halfway done, you continue from here. Harmonize the relationship between Ruyan and Jian Hong. During the Black Sea Duel, coordinate with Yi Yan for a decisive victory," Zhong Shan instructed firmly.

"Everything is arranged. We just need to follow the plan," Gu Qianyou nodded.

In the Ageless Realm.

"Curse Master, this is an order from the Mirror Master. Please lend me the Immortal Steles for a while," Ye Qingcheng said.

"From my elder brother? Sigh, I\'ll lend them to you, but you must bring them back, and preferably bring Hao Meili as well. I\'ve studied these Immortal Steles; they contain immense power and are definitely not from this realm. They surely come from the Great Thousand World and have traces of the Wu tribe. Remember this!" the Curse Master sighed.

"The Wu tribe?" Ye Qingcheng\'s eyebrows raised.

"Yes, the Wu tribe!" the Curse Master nodded.

"I understand. Bringing back the Immortal Steles won\'t be difficult, but Hao Meili is another matter. She has a body of myriad evils. While she may not harm us, we might not be able to deal with her either. To bring her back, you might need to come with me," Ye Qingcheng suggested.

"My brother and I must guard the Ageless Realm. We cannot leave our posts. Are you implying you need my \'Protective Curse Talisman\'? Hmph, you don\'t need to beat around the bush. I\'ll lend it to you this once, but you better return it!" the Curse Master said sternly.

A year passed quickly.

The Black Sea Duel between Ye Qingcheng of the Ageless Realm and Zhong Shan of the Da Zhen Imperial Dynasty was approaching. The stakes were the ancestral beast and the Immortal Steles.

People went from initial skepticism to gradually believing it.

The Immortal Steles were relics left by the great Emperor Haotian of the once-powerful Da Hong Tianchao in the Yang realm, rumored to conceal enormous secrets.

As for the ancestral beast, it was even more extraordinary. With the deliberate spread of information, details about the ancestral beast quickly surfaced.

In the vast world, the ancestral beast ranks nineteenth among the mythical creatures. The top eighteen mythical creatures remain shrouded in mystery, even within the Great Thousand World. Among the known mythical beasts, the ancestral beast ranks first, thus earning its title as the Ancestral Beast.

People might not grasp the full significance of this ranking, but they recall a video from the past showing a golden day descending from the heavens and a Qilin appearing in the Lesser Thousand World. Despite being suppressed by the world\'s limitations, the fire Qilin was still an overwhelmingly powerful presence, yet it ranked only ninety-sixth. The Ancestral Beast is ranked nineteenth?

The stakes in this duel have piqued immense interest, and the clash between the leaders of two mighty forces has ignited the fervor of countless strong cultivators.

Upon hearing the news, countless experts madly rushed to the Black Sea.

The Black Sea, true to its name, is a pitch-black expanse of water, as dark as ink. Even divine senses struggle to penetrate its depths. The seawater possesses a powerful corrosive nature, making even supreme realm experts wary of entering.

The Black Sea roared with turbulent waves, and at its perimeter, a throng of experts had gathered, creating a sea of people. Countless powerful individuals had come, all eager to witness this unparalleled duel.

"Look over there, three people have suddenly appeared on the sea\'s surface!" one of the onlookers suddenly exclaimed.

"Where? Where?"

"Over there! I recognize him. The one in the white robe with blue hair is Ye Qingcheng. I saw him once at the Blood Sea. He carries the world\'s most fearsome sword, the Slaying Immortal Sword. Even an ordinary expert can cut through space with it, an invincible force!"

"The other two seem to be Dao Lords from the Ageless Realm, both at the Tianji Realm!"

"Three Tianji Realm experts? Three peerless masters? The Da Zhen Imperial Dynasty is doomed. How can a mere dynasty contend with a holy land? Three Tianji Realm experts, is this the Ageless Realm\'s top strength?"

People buzzed with discussions, clearly shocked by the impressive lineup from the Ageless Realm. Three Tianji Realm experts? Zhong Shan was doomed. How could a small dynasty produce three Tianji Realm experts? Ridiculous!

Ye Qingcheng arrived, glancing at the countless onlookers with a slight frown. He also noticed several old acquaintances.

Ye Qingcheng slightly frowned at seeing the Tianji Realm experts from the underworld and nodded at them but did not engage further.

Just then, Tian Xiaozi flew over on a cloud.

"Head of the Tian Family!"

"Realm Lord Ye!"

The two exchanged greetings.

"Zhong Shan hasn\'t arrived yet?" Ye Qingcheng frowned.

"Be patient, Realm Lord Ye. According to my information, Zhong Shan arrived in a nearby city three days ago. He should be here shortly," Tian Xiaozi smiled.

"Hmm!" Ye Qingcheng nodded.

In the distance, people began to speculate if Zhong Shan had fled. After all, who would dare face such a lineup?

Just when the crowd thought they would be disappointed, a white cloud slowly drifted over the horizon. Atop the cloud was a dragon throne.

"He\'s here! He\'s here! The one on the dragon throne is Zhong Shan!" someone shouted.

"But why are there only two people? Who is the person in the white robe standing beside the throne?"

"Zhong Shan is holding a small furry creature. Is that the Ancestral Beast?"

"That\'s not Nangong Sheng. Who is he?" Tian Xiaozi frowned.

Ye Qingcheng also frowned, watching the two. What was Zhong Shan doing? Bringing a stranger? Where were Nangong Sheng and Hao Meili? Could this white-robed person be more powerful than them, or was Zhong Shan planning to concede?

"Emperor Xuan Sha, look at these people underestimating you. Hahaha!" Zhong Shan laughed as he and Emperor Xuan Sha flew closer.
