Lingqi Daoguo, Xiangguan, and the side hall of the garrison.

The ruler of the Jingshan Taoist Kingdom, Taixu Taoist Master, the ruler of the Fuyu Taoist Kingdom, Taihua Taoist Master, the ruler of the Lingqi Taoist Kingdom, Si Tuan Taoist Master, and the ruler of the Ganzhao Taoist Kingdom, Yaocheng Taoist Master, all sat at the top.

Below the four kings are the princes of the four great Taoist kingdoms, namely Yunqi, the prince of Jingshan Taoist Kingdom, Gucan, the prince of Fuyu Taoist Kingdom, Jiyou, the prince of Lingqi Taoist Kingdom, and Yao Xiang, the prince of Ganzhao Taoist Kingdom.

The rulers and princes of the four great Daoist countries were sitting in the hall, entertaining envoys from various countries. These envoys came from various countries to observe the war and to deliver supplies.

The purpose of observing the war is to judge the situation and then report it back to the country so that the leader of the country can decide whether to send troops.

The four great Daoist countries are all first-class countries, and they have joined forces to attack the Zong country. There is no reason for them to fail.

So if the Quadruple Alliance is fine, why are they sending troops? Do they think their own countries have too many resources and nowhere to use them?

However, the Da Dao Ting issued a decree to the vassal states in all directions to attack the Zong State. Therefore, although these countries had no intention of sending troops, they still sent envoys with a large amount of supplies and treasures to Xiangguan for support.

Everyone was drinking happily at the banquet when suddenly there was a loud thunder in the sky outside, shaking the earth.

Everyone put down the wine cups in their hands and turned to look outside. They saw a purple lightning flash across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"It's the Purple Clear Heavenly Thunder." Yun Qi, the prince of Jingshan Dao Kingdom, said in surprise.

But after this thunder sounded, no more purple and clear sky thunder appeared, which made everyone in the side hall very confused, wondering why a purple and clear sky thunder appeared inexplicably.

But shortly after this purple and clear sky thunder struck, a senior official walked in from the door of the side hall.

The Shangqing's face was extremely solemn, his hands were slightly lowered, and there was a look of deep disbelief in his eyes.

Not only that, after the minister entered the side hall, the rulers of the four countries keenly noticed that his body was trembling slightly.

The four great rulers' faces darkened as they looked at the Shangqing who had stepped forward. Then, the Daoist Master Si Tuan of the Lingqi Dao Kingdom asked, "Shangqing Lu, what happened?"

Lu Shangqing glanced at the envoys from various countries on both sides, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty and the three Dao Masters, I have military information to report in secret."

Hearing Lu Shangqing's words, the four great rulers frowned, then looked at each other, and then Daoist Master Si Tuan said to Lu Shangqing, "Go to the back hall."

Then the four great rulers stood up and said to the envoys from the surrounding countries with a smile, "Everyone, please excuse me for now."

Although the envoys from various countries were curious, they immediately bowed in unison and said, "No, no, no."

Afterwards, the four great kings ordered their princes to stay here, while the four of them turned around and entered the back hall from behind the screen, and Lu Shangqing quickly followed.

After entering the back hall, the four kings blocked the back hall and asked Lu Shangqing, "What happened?"

At this moment, Lu Shangqing finally knelt on the ground, and then said in a trembling voice: "Our army was defeated, and the 120,000-strong army was wiped out!" After that, Lu Shangqing crawled on the ground.

Hearing this, the four kings were startled at first, then looked at each other, and then Taihua Daozun asked, "Lu Shangqing, what are you talking about?"

Shangqing Lu raised his head again and addressed the four rulers, "Your Majesty, the four nations' 120,000-man coalition army camped in Linyuan last night when they were attacked by the rebels at Qinguan Pass. The entire army was annihilated, and all four of the generals who led the army perished."

However, the four kings were still somewhat confused. It was not that they were stupid, nor that they were slow to react, but they simply could not believe that their 120,000-strong coalition army would be gone just like that?

Their first reaction was that Lu Shangqing had been struck by some kind of Taoist magic, but Lu Shangqing continued, "Four Lords, please direct your spiritual thoughts toward the east gate of Xiangguan Pass."

Upon hearing this, the four kings immediately released their spiritual thoughts, which instantly covered Xiangguan and a large area outside the east gate of Xiangguan.

Then the four kings' faces changed drastically, and the Taoist Master Taixu of Jingshan Dao Kingdom was even more shocked and said, "Huan Min!"

The other three Dao Zuns also exclaimed and called out the names of the chief military commanders of their respective countries.

At this moment, under the spiritual observation of the four kings, they saw that outside Xiangguan, densely packed human heads were neatly arranged and piled up on the flat ground outside the pass, forming a small mountain of human heads.

This kind of thing has a special name: "Jingguan."

Fang Jian brought a thousand spiritual officials and cut off the heads of the 120,000-strong coalition army of the four countries, and then took them to the outside of Xiangguan and built a Jingguan.

The heads of Huan Min, Wang Jue, Kuang Miao and Jiang Ji were hung on the flags of the four countries and neatly placed in front of the Jingguan.

As if sensing the divine thoughts of the four kings, Fang Jian, standing in front of Jingguan, raised his head and waved in the direction of Xiangguan ahead, as if he was greeting an old friend.

Then Fang Jian turned around and pointed at the Jingguan behind him, then smiled and waved enthusiastically towards Xiangguan. This action and expression seemed to say: "Old friend, I came to see you, look what gift I brought you?"

However, this action and expression were extremely ironic in the eyes of the four kings. They were shocked and angry. Yao Cheng Dao Zun even shouted angrily: "Fang Jian, you brat! How dare you do this!"

After saying that, Daoist Master Yao Cheng raised his hand and shot out a stream of Jade Purity Mysterious Qi and Upper Purity Mysterious Qi, which flew straight towards Fang Jian.

Seeing the actions of Daoist Master Yao Cheng, the other three kings also shot out a Jade Purity Mysterious Qi and a Superior Purity Mysterious Qi respectively. In an instant, four Jade Purity Mysterious Qi and four Superior Purity Mysterious Qi came towards Fang Jian together.

At this moment, a huge formation diagram suddenly appeared above Fang Jian and others' heads. Above the formation diagram, the Xuanchen immortal light was dazzling, and at the same time, the Shangqing Xuanqi was attached to the formation diagram.

As the formation diagram appeared, it immediately covered the area where Fang Jian and others were. The four Yuqing Xuanqi and the four Shangqing Xuanqi hit the formation diagram. In an instant, yin and yang reversed, and the void collapsed. Under the collision of great forces, energy spread out, turning the sky and the earth into yellow and white.

The power of the formation diagram instantly resisted the four ray of Shangqing Xuanqi, but the other four ray of Yuqing Xuanqi suppressed the formation diagram hundreds of feet. But then four sword sounds rang out above the formation diagram, and then white, black, red and green lights lit up from the four corners of the formation diagram, and then four swords that changed the color of the sky and the earth appeared above the formation diagram.

With the appearance of these four swords, four sword beams suddenly shot out from the formation diagram. The sword beams were sharp and powerful, and in an instant they destroyed the four Yuqing Xuanqi.

"The innate treasure! It's Taiyuan!" The four kings said in a serious voice, and then the four figures disappeared from the back hall in an instant, and appeared in the sky outside Xiangguan in an instant.

The four Taoist masters stepped on the auspicious cloud and looked at the huge formation diagram. The next moment, a faint fairy light flashed above the formation diagram, and Emperor Taiyuan appeared in front of everyone in a jade-white Taoist robe, with an extraordinary Taoist body and an outstanding fairy posture.
