Faced with Jingyi's arrogant attitude, Qinglong sneered and said proudly, "How arrogant. In ancient times, my strength was indeed inferior to yours, but after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it is not certain who is stronger or weaker."
Jingyi snorted coldly and retorted sarcastically, "Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."
He transformed into a colossal golden dragon, soaring into the sky and roaring at the Azure Dragon. The roar, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, hurtled towards the Azure Dragon like a hurricane. The Azure Dragon, not to be outdone, roared back, its own roar powerful. The two forces collided in mid-air, exploding with a deafening roar. The surrounding palaces shattered, turning into ruins.
Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon brandished its sharp claws and charged towards the Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon met the attack head-on, and the two giant dragons clashed in the sky above the palace.
The dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth, and the patrolling soldiers fled in terror.
Chu Yu and Lu Xianqing, who were hiding inside the house, were lying on the door, watching the battle of the giant dragons outside. They looked very nervous, especially Chu Yu, whose eyes were fixed on the Azure Dragon, as if afraid that he would be hurt.
Lu Xianqing quickly calmed down and said to Chu Yu, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's take advantage of the chaos and leave the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment: "If we leave, what will happen to Qinglong?"
Seeing her worried expression, Lu Xianqing comforted her: "Wei Xun is an ancient divine dragon after all, with super strength. Even if he can't defeat Jing Yi, he should be able to escape unscathed. If we stay here and are captured by those heavenly soldiers, Jing Yi will use us as hostages to threaten Wei Xun. We will become a burden to him, which will be even more disadvantageous for him."
Chu Yu immediately realized the logic in his analysis. Only when they were safe and sound could Qinglong fight with all his might without any burden.
The two walked out of the house and ran towards the gate of the Heavenly Palace.
They hadn't gone far when the patrolling soldiers spotted them, surrounded them, and charged at them with their weapons.
Chu Yu and Lu Xianqing started fighting with them.
During the battle, more and more soldiers came to support them. These soldiers were all celestial warriors from ancient times, and even in their soul form, their strength was still formidable.
Chu Yu and Lu Xianqing were merely other people's metaphysicians. Faced with their siege, they gradually lost ground. Just as the two were about to be captured, several smoke bombs specially made by the underworld suddenly fell from the sky.
Bang bang bang...
The smoke grenade exploded, the powerful blast knocking the soldiers back. Immediately afterwards, a plume of black smoke shot into the sky, obscuring their vision.
Chu Yu and Lu Xianqing were both startled. Before they could see who had thrown the smoke bomb, a teleportation array suddenly appeared beneath their feet, and the two of them instantly disappeared from their spot.
By the time they realized what was happening, they had already arrived at the gates of the Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the gate of the Heavenly Palace were all knocked down and lay sprawled on the ground.
Chu Yu and Lu Xianqing looked at the soldiers, wondering what was going on, when a flash of white light appeared in front of them, and an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a blue Taoist robe, appeared in front of them.
The two looked closely, and were both surprised and delighted. They exclaimed in unison, "Master!"
That person was none other than their master, Daoist Changfeng.
It turned out that their master had saved them.
"This is not the place to talk, let's leave immediately."
He raised his hand and summoned a cloud, then jumped onto it with the two of them, and the cloud carried them away into the distance.
Seeing that his master could fly through the clouds and had an otherworldly air about him, Chu Yu asked in surprise, "Master, have you attained immortality?"
Master Changfeng chuckled and said with a proud look on his face, "Yes, I have achieved perfect merit and am now an immortal."
Chu Yu looked at him with admiration: "Master, you are really amazing."
The last time I saw him, he was still a ghost. I never expected that he would transform into an immortal. That's incredibly fast.
Hearing their conversation, Lu Xianqing's lips twitched, and she bluntly exposed Changfeng Daoist: "Master, stop lying to your junior sister. You are not an immortal. You were originally King Chujiang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld. After death, you are just undergoing tribulation to return to your position."
Chu Yu was shocked. This old geezer was actually King Chujiang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld.
I heard that King Chujiang is in charge of Ghost City. No wonder he met his master there many times before. It turns out that it was under his jurisdiction.
Chu Yu was taken aback: "Master, I didn't know you had such a powerful background. Why didn't you mention it before?"
Daoist Changfeng scratched his head awkwardly: "I just wanted to keep a low profile. I was also afraid that if I told you, you would become too proud and stop focusing on your cultivation."
Chu Yu chuckled.
This old man is very good at hiding his true intentions.
She turned to look at Lu Xianqing: "Second Senior Brother, did you know about this all along?"
Lu Xianqing nodded: "Yes, I found out about Master's background after I took office in the Underworld. My senior brother also knows about it."
Chu Yu's lips twitched.
So even the eldest brother knew.
Only she, her third senior brother, and her fourth senior brother, the three great traitors, were kept in the dark.
Daoist Changfeng coughed lightly, reminding them, "Now is not the time to talk about this. News has come from the Underworld that Jingyi, the Dragon Clan Crown Prince from ancient times, has resurrected tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals. Those heavenly soldiers and generals attacked the Underworld yesterday, and now the Underworld is in chaos. We must rush back to help."
Chu Yu looked surprised: "Jingyi acted so quickly?"
Lu Xianqing raised an eyebrow and replied, "Jingyi has been planning this for a long time, so it's not exactly fast."
Daoist Changfeng said with a solemn look, "A great war in the underworld will cause disorder, and the demons and monsters of the underworld will take the opportunity to escape to the human world. Before long, the human world will also be in chaos, with people suffering and death. At that time, the human world will become another hell."
Chu Yu's face darkened, and she became anxious.
The speed of the clouds was very fast, and before long, the three of them arrived at the Yellow Springs Road in the underworld.
At this moment, the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Palace were fighting against the silver-armored soldiers of the Underworld. The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of battle and shouts of killing. The ghosts and monsters were so frightened that they fled in all directions, creating chaos.
The three joined the battle and killed some heavenly soldiers. Then, the eldest brother, Ye Zhiyuan, rushed over and said, "Master, second brother, and junior sister, you're finally back. Now come with me to the Yama Palace to see King Yama. He has something very important to discuss with you."
The three fought their way through and hurriedly followed Ye Zhiyuan to the Yama Palace.
Inside the Yama Palace, Yama, the King of Hell, was pacing anxiously back and forth.
As Chu Yu and the others entered the main hall, Yama's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing them, and he quickly went to greet them, saying, "That's wonderful, you're finally back."
Upon seeing him, Daoist Changfeng asked urgently, "Brother Yama, why are you in such a hurry to call us over? Have you come up with a solution?"
Yama nodded: "I've got it. Although Jingyi's heavenly soldiers and generals are souls, they are not ordinary ghosts and monsters, and they are difficult to deal with. Moreover, their life bodies are in Jingyi's hands. Even if we kill this wave of heavenly soldiers and generals, the next wave will rush over soon. The only way to deal with them now is to solve the problem at its source."
