Chapter 384: The Underworld Belongs, Preaching Is Difficult
Soon, these free and easy immortals were no longer happy.
No one had expected that after so many years of nothing happening, they would now receive an edict from the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of Zhongtian.
Naturally, these people did not dare to refuse the call from the Heavenly Court.
If they refuse, it means they are traitors and rebels, and the Emperor of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei has the power to execute them!
That is the benevolent corpse of a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian!
Who dares to disobey the Hunyuan Dharma?
They all accepted it with a wry smile, gathered together and waited to go into battle.
Everyone gathered together, and soon some unfamiliar people with great powers came.
A total of twenty-one people with great supernatural powers gathered together.
Of course, there is no late quasi-saint level existence here.
People like that are all big names in the four realms. Naturally, they will not be controlled by the Heavenly Court, nor will they be willing to sell face to the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of Zhongtian.
Twenty-one masters with great supernatural powers and three hundred Daluo Golden Immortals were gathered together.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo personally took these people to the lower world.
These people are not the kind of people who would risk their lives, and the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in Zhongtian did not expect them to help the Heavenly Army defeat the various tribes underground.
I just hope they can do something to stabilize the balance.
Just prevent these underground races from affecting Jiejiao’s major events.
At this moment, Dongsheng Shenzhou was completely occupied by the people of the "Witch, Buddha and Demon Alliance".
The entire continent became the territory of the Qin Empire.
Zen Buddhism also became the state religion of the Qin Empire.
The remaining forces of Xuanmen were wiped out.
Except for "Kunlun Mountain", basically all the temples of the Chan sect are under attack.
The situation here is not much better.
Almost all the power of the human sect in the Dongsheng Continent is gathered on the Shu Mountain.
This place was also attacked by the "Alliance of Witches, Buddhas and Demons".
The Jiejiao sect was not much better.
The remaining disciples of the Jiejiao had already abandoned the Dongsheng Continent, crossed the sea and moved to the Nanshanbu Continent.
At this time, the Chan sect and the Ren sect were attacked from both sides and were in extreme distress.
If the Underworld cannot be conquered and the Dongsheng Shenzhou is lost, the two sects will have no foothold in the earthly immortal world. Such a result is simply unacceptable to the two sects!
The human race is the darling of heaven.
Only by preaching among the human race can we gather the luck of the human race and strengthen the sect.
The human race is mainly concentrated in the earthly immortal world.
Without the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to get enough believers.
How easy was it to preach at that time?
Among the four continents of the earthly immortal world, the best place is Dongsheng Shenzhou, followed by Nanshanbuzhou. The heavy losses suffered by their human sect and orthodox sect made a group of people with great supernatural powers feel heartbroken.
How to do?
The war is still going on, and the hopes of the human religion and the orthodox religion are becoming increasingly slim.
It seems that the balance of victory has tilted.
With the appearance of reinforcements from Heaven, the battlefield between Heaven and various underground tribes in the depths of the Nine Netherworlds has regained its balance.
Outside the Nine Netherworld, the civil war within the Xuan Sect was already becoming increasingly difficult to continue.
The Chaos Demon Ape kept charging forward, and only Confucius managed to resist the attack of the Chaos Demon Ape by relying on the "Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth".
The powerful masters of the other two religions are no match for the Jie Religion's masters.
Especially the appearance of the three great masters, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the Wu Dang Holy Mother, and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, became the straw that broke the camel's back for the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect.
"How to do?"
The voice of Master Xuandu came to Guangchengzi's ears.
It was obvious that this senior brother of the Human Education Sect was pessimistic and believed that the war could not continue.
"Alas! Let's retreat for now! We can deal with the affairs of the underworld later."
Guangchengzi sighed and had to send a message.
Immediately afterwards, Guangchengzi sent a message to all the great masters of the Chan sect, asking them to prepare for retreat.
When Master Xuandu received the message from Guangchengzi, he couldn't help but become more spirited. He really didn't want to continue fighting.
Soon, the people from the Human Religion School also received the notice to retreat.
Not long after, Guangchengzi and Master Xuandu looked at each other and gave the order to retreat.
There are still millions of followers in the two religions. After receiving the order from the big man, they all breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
When the people from Jiejiao saw this, they did not chase after them and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the disciples of Jiejiao were unwilling to continue such a brutal battle.
In this battle, the number of disciples who died from the three religions probably reached tens of millions.
If we include the underworld, heaven, and various underground races, the number of lost lives is probably as high as 50 to 60 million.
This battle is even more brutal than the battle in the demon world.
In the battle against the demon world, the Human Sect, the Orthodox Sect, and the Unrighteous Sect were all unstoppable, with obvious advantages, and never suffered any losses.
This time, it was an internal conflict, a big fight within the three religions, which was naturally much more brutal than before.
"it is finally over!"
The Chaos Demon Ape split into two, and Yuan Hong, Liu'er Macaque, Sun Wukong, Wuzhiqi and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle was so brutal that even the four Dharma protectors were exhausted.
"Huang Feihu, come here!"
The Golden Spirit Mother gave a loud shout, and Huang Feihu, Wenquxingjun and others who did not dare to join the battle quickly flew over.
"Disciple Huang Feihu pays homage to the Grandmaster!"
Huang Feihu was Wen Zhong's disciple, and according to seniority, he was the great-grandson of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. Upon hearing the master's call, he dared not neglect it. He flew over immediately and paid his respects with great ceremony.
"Well! For the time being, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the underworld. You must shoulder your responsibilities and not let the people of the Human Religion and the Chan Religion take advantage of you."
The Golden Spirit Mother instructed.
"Yes! I understand! I will definitely protect the underworld for me!"
Huang Feihu was delighted, but he suppressed his excitement and quickly made an assurance to the Golden Spirit Mother.
This time, the losses of Jiejiao were also not small. Many second-generation disciples died. Among the various schools of thought, some people with great supernatural powers also died.
Such a loss is naturally extremely heavy.
Now that the Nine Netherworld has been won, it must not be lost.
It can be said that Huang Feihu gained huge benefits, but also tied his fate to the underworld. If something happened in the underworld, there would be no need for him to live.
You can live and die with the underworld.
Cleaned up the battlefield and dealt with other matters.
Zhao Gongming led a group of powerful masters from the Jiejiao and headed towards the depths of the Nine Netherworld.
When the war outside ended, the various tribes underground naturally knew about it.
When Zhao Gongming and his men arrived, the underground tribes resisted for a while, and then retreated into the darkness like a tide.
The Zombie King and his men were powerless, and the fate of Jiang Chen being sealed by the Jiejiao could not be changed.
People from Heaven will naturally not chase after them.
After saying hello to Zhao Gongming and others, the army of Heaven retreated in a hurry.
They were really scared.
Fearing that another disturbance might arise, another war broke out.
The losses suffered by Heaven this time were not small, so naturally they were unwilling to work for the people of Jiejiao.
Soon, everything stabilized.
Yuan Hong, Liu'er Mihou, Sun Wukong and Wuzhiqi stayed in the underworld temporarily, while the other members of Jiejiao evacuated one after another.
Even though Yuan Hong and the other four Dharma protectors were left behind, they were still worried that things in the underworld would happen repeatedly.
With the four Dharma protectors here, they can at least guard the underworld and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
After all the disciples of Jiejiao withdrew, the Nine Netherworlds temporarily calmed down.
"Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, what should we do now?"
The armies of the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm and sensed that the Dongsheng Continent was lost. The Great Master Xuandu looked extremely ugly.
"Alas! At this moment, the morale of the army is low. I am afraid we can no longer fight!"
Guangchengzi was also heartbroken as his own Taoist temple in Dongsheng Shenzhou had been occupied by the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".
Their resentment towards the "Alliance of Witches, Buddhas and Demons" is no less than that of humans.
In just one great battle, five quasi-saints of the orthodox teaching died.
Even high-level figures like Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun are included among them.
Now, we can’t fight anymore!
"Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, what arrangements do you have?"
Master Xuandu asked again.
"I, the disciples of the Chan Sect, will temporarily evacuate to Kunlun Mountain to recuperate."
Guangchengzi thought about it and realized that there was really nowhere to go, so he could only return to his ancestral temple.
"In that case, we, the Human Cult, should withdraw to Shouyang Mountain and Shu Mountain!"
The situation of Dongsheng Shenzhou is clear at a glance, and there are only two places left for human education.
At this moment, Shushan was still under siege, and there were many disciples of the Human Sect there, so they had to be rescued.
After the two sects separated, the Chan sect went to Kunlun Mountain; while the ordinary disciples of the Human sect went to Shouyang Mountain first.
These two places were once the dojo of saints.
The "Witch, Buddha and Demon Alliance" has not yet made up its mind to completely occupy these two places.
Even if the Sage Hunyuan Wuji cannot directly interfere in the affairs of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The people from the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" did not dare to attack the saint's temple easily.
I was afraid that one day I would be punished by a saint.
These people don't have the courage to attack and occupy the saint's temple.
Therefore, both places are safe for the time being.
It is the retreat for disciples of the Human Religion and the Chan Religion.
But it is different in Shushan, the fighting here is extremely fierce.
The remaining disciples of the Human Religion are all here, so the people from the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" will naturally wipe them out.
After the Human Sect disciples gathered on Mount Shu were annihilated, it would be impossible for the Human Sect to launch a counterattack.
The "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" naturally understood the calculations behind this clearly.
After bidding farewell to the people of the Chan sect, Master Xuandu and others naturally headed towards Shushan first.
This group of people did not seek to defeat the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance", but only hoped to rescue the disciples of the human sect on Mount Shu.
Of course, it would be better if they could keep Shushan, but if they can't, they won't force it.
Now, for human education, preserving the manpower is the most important thing.
Outside Mount Shu, as a dozen great masters with supernatural powers, including Master Xuandu, Confucius, and Zhuangzi, approached, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Sandalwood Merit Buddha, and a group of Buddhas flew up in an instant and blocked them outside.
This group of Buddhist masters were not very willing to fight to the death with the top leaders of the Human Religion Sect.
As soon as they appeared, they set up the "Bodhi Formation" to block the route of Master Xuandu and his men.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is about to behead the third corpse. Sandalwood Merit Buddha is also a top existence among the late quasi-saints. The two great Buddhist masters, plus the assistance of several quasi-saints, are enough to maximize the power of the "Bodhi Array".
"Today, there will be another bloody battle!"
Master Xuandu had a gloomy expression on his face, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to fight.
Upon hearing this, Sandalwood Merit Buddha chuckled and said, "Namo Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Xuandu, this is God's will. You should retreat quickly! You cannot break the siege of Shushan."
"Hmph! Let's do it first!"
The great master Xuandu looked coldly at the "Bodhi Formation", and then said to the master of the Human Sect: "Attack it with the 'Liangyi Microdust Formation'!"
"Yes! Senior brother!"
Everyone nodded and instantly arranged themselves into a large formation.
The yin and yang energies penetrated the void, and under the urging of Master Xuandu, the great formation, with the "Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth" and "Tai Chi Diagram" as its framework, crashed into the "Bodhi Formation"!
"Amitabha! Everyone, please be careful. Our mission only requires half an hour!"
When Sandalwood Merit Buddha saw the people fighting desperately, his expression changed slightly, then he calmed down and said lightly.
"Don't worry, Lord Buddha! We understand!"
The Buddhas responded by gathering their full magical powers, and the entire "Bodhi Array" was filled with golden light, and it crashed into the "Liang Yi Micro Dust Array".
"Boom!"
The two large formations collided in the void, creating a hole in the entire sky.
The two sides' formations withdrew respectively, and then collided with each other again.
The Buddhist sect outside blocked the reinforcements of the Human Sect, and the Witch Clan, as the main force attacking Shushan, immediately became anxious.
"Hurry up! Use the 'Soul Devouring Formation' to break his Shushan defense!"
Houyi lost his patience and gave the order directly.
This "Soul-Devouring Formation" was once an evil formation created by Chi You.
Using the secret method of the witch clan, the power of the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array" was activated. It can be said to be a weakened version of the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array".
As soon as this formation came into being, evil spirit rose into the sky, and thick black fog enveloped the entire Shu Mountain.
There are many immortals on Mount Shu, and one can also feel things in the outside world. If not, there would be a possibility of collapse.
"open!"
The founder of Shushan Sect, Immortal Changmei, let out a fierce roar, and a mirror-like light shone brightly.
It actually illuminated part of the area, so that it was not completely shrouded in the black fog of the "Soul-Devouring Array".
"Huh? Changmei is just a junior, but he has such means!"
Houyi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that someone could use such a magic weapon.
"What a pity! Without the ninety-nine and eighty-one 'Chiyou Flags', the power of the 'Soul Devouring Formation' is less than half of its peak. Otherwise, Changmei Zhenren would have absolutely no way to restrain the black fog."
Houyi thought about it and took out the "Sun-Shooting Bow" and "Sky-Shaking Arrow".
He bends the bow and draws the arrow, all in one go.
The "Sun-Shooting Bow" in Houyi's hand immediately showed its invincible momentum.
"Oh no! Hou Yi is about to take action!"
"How to do?"
"This man has a superb shooting skill, no one can stop him!"
……
Seeing Houyi's actions, all the masters on Mount Shu were shocked. Even two of them with great supernatural powers had looks of horror in their eyes.
Previously, Houyi took his own status into consideration and did not choose to attack these ordinary disciples.
Now that Master Xuandu and his men have arrived as reinforcements, Hou Yi naturally will not hold back.
