Chapter 1021: Chapter 952: Changing of the King Yan
Zhang San led the mbers of the Town Martial Office in a fierce battle against the people rushing out of the Ghost Gate.
Fortunately, Zhang San did not only bring the people from the Town Martial Office this ti; Zheng Guanxing and others from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were also present. Even Zhuge Longyin did not return imdiately to Sword South Path but ca along because he knew Zhang San needed help.
After the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path fell, the Position of the Hundred Refinents Master of the Path of Gunfire sohow fell to Zhang San. However, Zhuge Longyin didn’t mind, as the techniques were still in his hands.
During the journey, Zhuge Longyin took the chance to communicate and exchange ideas with Zhang San while resting and actively studied.
Now, while Zhang San and the others were fighting at the front, Zhuge Longyin was at the back preparing the cannons.
As Zhang San and the others suddenly stepped aside, a barrage of cannon fire blasted towards the inside of the Ghost Gate.
The number of Ghosts and Monsters, creations of the Outer Gods, rushing out from the Ghost Gate significantly decreased.
anwhile, Zhang San noticed from above that not only did a Ghost Gate appear here, but several other locations in Xiangzhou Road also had Ghost Gates appearing.
Evidently, the Outer Gods had found so way to invade the Path of Life and Death.
No wonder they had received news earlier about troubles in the Path of Life and Death.
As everyone fought until daybreak, they finally annihilated all the creations of the Outer Gods rushing out from the Ghost Gate.
Simultaneously, Zhang San sent agile Cat-eared Ladies to scout, and they returned with their findings.
Perhaps because Zhang San’s group had slain a large number of creations of Outer Gods, other places had fewer creations rushing out from the Ghost Gates.
It seed that these creations could only operate within a certain range once they left the Ghost Gate, so once they filled that area, no more would co out.
However, since Zhang San’s group kept killing whatever ca out, the more they killed, the more appeared.
Zhang San surveyed the battlefield and his companions, most of whom had encountered creations of Outer Gods in previous battles.
Seeing such grotesque things, even Martial Artists and Cultivators would often be terrified, which would affect their combat effectiveness.
But Zhang San’s companions, having encountered so many creations of Outer Gods, remained calm and charged directly into the fight.
“Everyone, take a break after working hard, then we’ll dispose of these creations’ bodies and continue south to find the Red Emperor.”
Zhang San knew that only by finding the Red Emperor and having him decree the official execution of the City God system could the towns have strong Path of Life and Death guardians for protection.
This would greatly prevent densely populated cities from becoming hunting grounds for the Outer Gods’ creations.
Just then, footsteps were heard from the still-intact Ghost Gate.
Zhang San imdiately gripped his Mo Blade.
Though he hadn’t seen the opponent, he could sense a strong presence just from the footsteps.
“Don’t attack! It’s one of our own!”
A familiar voice ca from the Ghost Gate. As Zhang San pondered how he kept encountering acquaintances from Xiangzhou Road, he saw Li Moxian supporting the unconscious, human-ford Candle Dragon as they erged from the Ghost Gate.
Had the Spear not sensed the Red Dust Immortal Position on the Candle Dragon, Zhang San would have suspected it was a fake.
“You two, what’s going on…”
Li Moxian shook his head with a wry smile, dropped the Candle Dragon on the ground beside him, lay down exhausted, and then waved his hand to shatter the Ghost Gate.
“We encountered the Outer Gods in the Underworld! After fighting for a long ti, the Outer God felt like it was losing to us, so it took advantage of the peak Yin Qi in the Underworld on the fifteenth day of July to have all Outer God creations launch a full-scale assault on the Ghost Gate, projecting it to various places. However, we severely injured it, so it won’t cause much trouble soon. That’s why I brought Candle Dragon back.”
Li Moxian spoke calmly, but Zhang San rembered Li Moxian supposedly had a cleanliness obsession.
Yet, Li Moxian lay directly on the ground, with the back of his head resting on a tentacle, unconcerned. This battle must have been so taxing that he overlooked such minor details.
Zhang San quickly ordered the battlefield cleaned and provided Li Moxian and the Candle Dragon with so restorative pills.
Afterward, Li Moxian explained the current situation of the Path of Life and Death in detail to Zhang San, who only then realized how severe the situation had beco.
Unlike the other Six Paths, the Red Dust Immortal Position in the Path of Life and Death isn’t fixed; it’s alternately held by the Ten Kings of the Underworld.
Beneath the Red Dust Immortal Position in the Path of Life and Death are the Ten Kings. Below the Ten Kings are the Heaven and Earth Yin Officials, followed by the Underworld ssengers.
Because the Ten Kings alternately hold the Red Dust Immortal Position, it’s akin to always having nine Kings and one King who also acts as the Red Dust Immortal.
Later, the Outer Gods invaded, sohow managing to invade the Underworld first.
The Kings had never encountered Outer Gods and were unfamiliar with their ans.
The Path of Life and Death is knowledgeable about everything in this world, so the Kings saw them as evil beings erging from nowhere and paid them no mind.
As a result, they beca negligent, and the Red Dust Immortal of the Path of Life and Death was directly slain by an Outer God.
Normally, other Kings could imdiately succeed the Red Dust Immortal Position in the Path of Life and Death.
However, the power and abilities of the Outer Gods exceeded the expectations of the Kings of the Underworld’s Path of Life and Death.
The Outer Gods then slew several Kings in succession, causing the collapse of the Path of Life and Death and rendering the Kings unable to hold the Red Dust Immortal Position due to the collapse.
Without the Red Dust Immortal Position’s support, defeating the Outer Gods beca even more difficult.
Ultimately, the sacrifice of several Kings led to the sealing of the Underworld from the mortal world, with the inner side of the Ghost Gate being the last strength of the remaining Kings.
The outer side of the Ghost Gate was sealed by the Kings, who fled with countless other Ghosts and Monsters.
At this point, Zhang San understood what had happened in the Path of Life and Death.
“Chief Li, what should we do next?”
Li Moxian shook his head wryly, saying, “The Outer Gods are very powerful, but the only advantage is they can’t directly co to our world. They can only co by getting coordinates in our world and projecting part of their strength here through those coordinates. You can think of it as a one-ti token to enter the Imperial Palace. They use it once, and it’s gone. Next ti, they need their followers or other Outer Gods to provide coordinates. So theoretically, if we clear all the coordinates the Outer Gods left in our world and eliminate all their forces, we’ll be safe. But in practice, that’s challenging. What about you? What’s going on with you and so many people at Xiangzhou Road?”
Zhang San then recounted to Li Moxian and the newly awakened Candle Dragon what he had been doing recently.
Candle Dragon was shocked; although he had sensed changes in the Thousand chanisms Path before, he never imagined the previous Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path was taken down by Zhang San and his group.
This Zhang San is truly a Red Dust Immortal killer!
“The Outer Gods originally might have wanted to establish more coordinates and launch a large-scale invasion of our world. But perhaps because you eliminated the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path, they lost their inside collaborator. So the Outer Gods fighting us in the Underworld had to attack earlier. It’s also a good opportunity. Zhang San, take your people and continue south to find Kaihuang. Try to get Kaihuang to establish the City God system formally, as that would protect more people. anwhile, Candle Dragon and I will explore the situation in other Paths.”
As Li Moxian spoke, he stood up.
Candle Dragon, seeing Li Moxian about to depart, looked distressed.
I just woke up! Even though I’m a Divine Aspect, a Red Dust Immortal, how can I not keep up with this Li Moxian!
Li Moxian glanced at Zhang San, handed him a talisman.
“It’s like the one I gave you before. Use it when needed, and I’ll sense it and co to support you.”
“Alright!”
Zhang San accepted the summon talisman from Li Moxian.
Candle Dragon glanced at it too, then made one in the sa manner as Li Moxian’s and handed it to Zhang San.
Even though Zhang San is only a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator now, Candle Dragon believes that in safeguarding this world, Zhang San will undoubtedly be at the forefront.
