Chapter 67 Pros and Cons
The man in the golden robe said coldly: "This Emperor Qianyuan is very scheming. Regardless of success or failure, Taizu must eliminate him today."
The silver-robed man sighed and said, "Taizu was actually a man of great talent and strategy, but unfortunately his evil nature made him lose his mind. Back then..."
The man in the golden robe immediately stopped him and said, "This is fate. You and I can't do anything about it. When they fight, find a way to take back the Star Sword and don't let them get it again."
Suddenly, a cold white light appeared in the sky, and the scene made both of them look shocked.
The Demon Lord Taizu released the black flame evil spirit, but it was frozen by Zhou An's mysterious ice divine light. The flame in the black air was extinguished, and then the black air froze and turned into black powder and fell.
The black flame gas column was forced back by the mysterious ice divine light column and was about to be frozen. At this time, the man in the silver robe performed the sword-collecting technique, wanting to take the opportunity to retract the Star Sword floating in the air.
At this time, petals were flying all around, surrounding the sky above the square, and the flying Star Sword was blocked by countless flowers.
The silver-robed man was furious, but the Ten Thousand Demon King appeared in front of the two of them holding the Ten Thousand Demon Banner and laughed strangely, "The Taizu Emperor is dueling with the current Emperor. Are you two going to interfere in their family affairs?"
The silver-robed man was furious, his inner energy surged, and he was about to attack, but the gold-robed man stopped him and said, "Go."
“But…” The man in silver robe was unwilling to give up. He saw the flower flying in the air several times but was blocked by the flower petals every time. He felt his heart bleeding.
“If you don’t leave now, it will be our turn. I’ve read in a book that once the four fairy treasures of the Kongling Fairy Mansion form the Four Symbols Formation, it cannot be broken by anyone except fairies or formations of the same level.” After the man in the golden robe finished speaking, he turned into golden light and flew away.
Silver Robe turned into white light and flew away in pain. The Monster King flew down to the top of the city and snorted coldly, "Coward."
At this time, the Great Ancestor Demon Lord was completely frozen by the Mysterious Ice Divine Light. Zhou An flew in front of the Great Ancestor, sighed slightly and said: "I will realize your dream, Qihui."
"Yes." Qi Hui floated in the air, formed seals with his hands, and a jade bottle appeared in the air. The demon body of Taizu was sucked into the jade bottle, ready to be processed before being sent to the imperial mausoleum.
Afterwards, Zhou An turned and walked towards the palace. The red dragons flying in the sky merged into the Emperor's Sword, transformed into red sword light, flew into Zhou An's body and disappeared.
Under everyone's awestruck gazes, Zhou An walked back to the court. Shangguan Rong greeted him and followed him toward the dragon throne. This time, she deliberately slowed down by half a step and did not dare to walk shoulder to shoulder with him.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked ashen, secretly hating themselves for committing the crime of exterminating their clan today.
After Zhou An sat down, he said calmly: "Give the King of Ten Thousand Monsters a seat. From now on, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters can come to court at any time."
Who would dare to object now? The female official ordered someone to bring a chair, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons sat down in the front seat.
Hua Wu Yue naturally sat next to the Queen, as she was now the Queen of Flowers.
Four fairies stood beside Zhou An, and they all regarded themselves as Zhou An's personal maids.
At this time, all the ministers who proposed to resign knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhou An snorted and said, "You have resigned now, there is no need to bow to me, just leave."
"We deserve to die. Please grant us death, Your Majesty." This group of ministers all had their foreheads pressed to the ground. They knew that if they left, it would be a crime of genocide. If they were sentenced to death here, at least the family would have a glimmer of hope.
Zhou An was too lazy to argue with them anymore, so he left through the back door and said, "The Queen has the final say on matters of the court."
Hua Wu Yue, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and the four fairies followed behind and left. All the officials bowed and saw the emperor off. After he walked out of the hall, the empress sat down and looked at the ministers kneeling in front of her. She also felt mixed emotions.
In the hall of Qianyang Palace, Zhou An, Hua Wu Yue, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons sat down. Zhou An pointed to the seat next to them and said, "You can sit down too."
Shuyao smiled and shook her head and said, "Thank you for the seat, Master. As your personal maids, we should stand beside you and protect you."
Zhou An didn't quite understand the four girls, Hua Wu Yue said, "Once a weapon spirit recognizes its master, it will be absolutely loyal. Zhou An, you don't have to worry about this."
Zhou An looked at the four women, shook his head and smiled. This kind of thinking may no longer exist on Earth, but it is really infinitely beautiful for men.
Hua Wu Yue took out the Star Sword and handed it to him, saying, "This is the second immortal treasure. If we can gather all the Seven Treasures of Heaven, our strength will increase greatly."
Zhou An took it and said, "There is still hope to collect them all, but it is more difficult to find someone who is compatible with the fairy treasure. Now that the Tiandao Sect has just been rebuilt, there is no one who can control the fairy treasure for the time being."
"Big brother is big brother. Others can only wish for fairy treasures, but big brother has so many fairy treasures that no one can use them. I really admire you." The King of Ten Thousand Demons immediately flattered him, which made Zhou An curious about how the King of Ten Thousand Demons got along with the Seven Illusion Demon Lords.
Zhou An smiled and said, "The fairy treasure knows its master. It is useless to get too many. If it cannot be compatible with the fairy treasure, the power of forcibly controlling it will be worse than that of the top-grade spiritual treasure."
Hua Wu Yue asked, "We have now identified three people behind the scenes. One has been dealt with. The man in the silver robe should be Tian Chanzi. But the aura of the last man in the gold robe makes me feel a little familiar. I have definitely seen this person before. He can sense the aura of the human race, and he is a righteous person."
The King of Ten Thousand Monsters thought about it and said, "I thought it was an illusion. I have the same feeling."
"Since both of you have sensed it, it should be correct. There should not be many people in the righteous path who have such strength." Zhou An said.
Qi Hui was the first to speak: "Master, I think Taizu and Tianchanzi may have been used by the golden-robed man, and from what we know so far, the battle between good and evil is not his goal.
The battle between good and evil is most likely just Taizu's goal of revenge, while the fight against the devil and evil is Tian Chanzi's goal.
If it was just a battle between good and evil, there would be no need for them to involve the Imperial Palace or even the Western Regions, and bring up voodoo and the Jitian Cult. I'm afraid the man in the golden robe has a bigger goal, and we must be part of his plan."

Shuyao continued, "Although Taizu was eliminated this time, the master's strength was also exposed, and will be in the eyes of the world. There are even many potential enemies who are eyeing the master, and it also makes the golden robe people more cautious about the master. This has both advantages and disadvantages for the master."
"Then, big brother, do you want to intervene in this battle between good and evil? I have already investigated and found that other demons in the Qianyuan Empire are lurking in the city. This battle between good and evil is just a trigger. No matter which side wins, other forces watching in secret will not miss such a great opportunity.
Maybe Big Brother doesn't know that except for ordinary people and righteous disciples, other races, and even some human overlords, do not want peace in the world. The more chaotic it is, the greater the opportunity for them.
Even myself, if it weren't for the restrictions of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and the fact that you are the emperor, I would also want to let the Ten Thousand Demon Forest intervene and reap some benefits." The Ten Thousand Demon King said.
Zhou An was relieved that the King of Ten Thousand Demons told him his desires directly. At least it proved that the King of Ten Thousand Demons was still very loyal to him.
"Now we can only take it one step at a time. Shuyao, Qinyu, Qihui, Xingyan, how powerful is your Four Symbols Formation?" Zhou An asked.
Xing Yan said in a boastful tone: "Only an immortal can break it."
Zhou An, the Ten Thousand Demons King, and Hua Wu Yue were all surprised when they heard this. Immortals are beings of a higher level. Even Hua Wu Yue's Flowing Flowers Flying Array and the Ten Thousand Demons King's Ten Thousand Demons Array did not dare to make such a guarantee.
Qi Hui said, "Master, the Four Symbols Formation of the four of us combines illusion, the power of the stars, and space. If someone with low attainments in formations is unbreakable, then only an immortal can break it. However, if someone is proficient in formations and can see through illusions, then it is possible to break our formation."
The King of Demons said: "There are only a few people in this world who can master the formation and see through the illusion. Brother, with the Four Void Immortals guarding the palace and my Ten Thousand Demons Formation guarding Qianjing, there shouldn't be too many problems.
But I need to summon all the demon kings in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. By then, I’m afraid the Demon Suppression Division won’t be able to accommodate so many people.”
Zhou An waved his hand and more than ten boxes of gold appeared. He said, "Go buy all the land around the Demon Suppression Division and expand it until it can accommodate everyone. Also, build a protective formation to ensure that the captured demons don't escape or get snatched away by some powerful person."
“No problem, it’s just that the materials needed to build the mountain protection formation are quite a lot. There are many monsters in my Ten Thousand Monster Forest, but the resources are actually not too many. Moreover, when it comes to formations, the righteous are much better.” The Ten Thousand Monsters King was a little embarrassed. Most of them, the monsters, only collected materials for cultivation, or magic weapons and so on. They might not bother to collect things for formations even if they encountered them.
"Make a list of what materials you need and I will take care of it. But remember, keep your people under control and don't cause trouble in the city. All land acquisitions must be done with money, not force. Of course, if we encounter a scoundrel who treats us as a sucker, we can teach him a lesson." Zhou An said.
"No problem." The King of Ten Thousand Demons stretched out his hand, and more than ten boxes of gold in front of him were all sucked into the treasure bag.
"Wu Yue, you continue to practice here and prepare for the sixth heavenly tribulation. When you are almost ready, you can take the Kongling Immortal Pill." Zhou An said.
"Okay." Hua Wu Yue responded.
Now, Baihua Palace, Kongling Immortal Mansion, and Tiandao Sect all need time to improve the cultivation of their disciples.
