Depose all the emperors!

Or to put it more directly -

Depose all the thieves!

Qi Wuhuo held the secret scroll of the Human Emperor in his right hand, while above his left hand was a seal floating. The seal contained an extremely pure and strong human aura, which far exceeded the aura of any other cultivator that Qi Wuhuo had ever seen. It was vast and majestic, almost as majestic as the heaven and earth. There was also a vague connection between this seal and the scroll.

There seemed to be energy circulating between the two treasures.

These two treasures, one represents the principle and way of the Human Emperor's destiny, and the other represents the power and strength of the Human Emperor's title. The combination of the two seems to be enough to weaken the long river of destiny that is entangled around all practitioners of the destiny, making the current monarch no longer the monarch, and the minister no longer the minister.

Qi Wuhuo saw the mysterious words on the seal rising and falling.

Turning it over, I saw eight words on the seal.

【Receive the mandate from others, and live long and prosper】

"I am under orders from others..."

"Well, he doesn't recognize himself as a king or emperor. The so-called human emperor is not a title like the former Zhou royal family."

"But it is the emperor who is as brilliant as fire."

Qi Wuhuo said: "I see."

"In that case, thank you, sister-in-law."

Nan Qingzi calmly accepted Qi Wuhuo's greeting, and then remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "You are actually the envoy of the Northern Emperor... You should have known that my elder brother deeply hates the Northern Emperor, but he is also afraid of the Northern Emperor's power. Even though the Northern Emperor has left, he still did not want to take risks for 8,000 years. Now that he has seen that the great changes in the Grand Historian are coming, he finally can't hold back, and you are here."

"If you hadn't come, Fengdu would have rebelled."

"But you have to be careful too."

"Although Big Brother and I both have pure Yin bodies, we are calm and suspicious by nature, and we are never willing to be inferior to others."

"Unless you suppress him in both strength and wisdom, and always be superior to him, like the Northern Emperor who completely subdued him; otherwise, he will definitely be unwilling to be in a lower position and will look for various opportunities to test me."

"Wuhuo, even though you are powerful and intelligent, this is Fengdu after all. There are Yin gods everywhere. How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? You are alone. If you stay here for a long time, I am afraid that my brother will take advantage of you and kill you."

"Fengdu City is not a good place. You should find a chance to leave quickly."

Nan Qingzi persuaded Qi Wuhuo in a gentle and earnest tone.

Obviously, genuinely.

Qi Wuhuo nodded. He actually knew this. He was currently in a safe environment, but as time went on, some flaws would appear on that side, causing doubts about the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi being suppressed to arise again. That would be bad. Now might be the best chance to escape.

What's more, he has been in Fengdu City for several days.

His body was still in the forbidden land of the demon clan. Not to mention the crazy pursuers of the demon clan, just the taboo of the demon clan, the black python that was hundreds of miles long in the ancient forest, made Qi Wuhuo's mind a little tense. He was not afraid of ordinary sword duels and fights, but the physique and strength of that snake were too amazing.

Ordinary magical powers might not be effective.

What's more, even the six-toothed dragon elephant, which was the strongest among the earthly immortals and could rival the strength of the True Lord, suffered a great loss in the battle with the python and left with serious injuries, let alone himself? Such ancient alien creatures would not understand any strategies or general trends, and the strategy of attacking the heart would hardly work.

In the current situation, the longer Qi Wuhuo's soul stays here, the more likely it is to expose his flaws, and the more dangerous it will be; the longer his body is exposed in the forest, the more likely it is to be found by pursuers or the python, and the more dangerous it will be. Besides, Zhou Qi trusted him for a short time, so it was time to put pressure on him and leave.

"We have to continue crossing this ancient mountain range surrounded by pursuers and ferocious beasts, and then return to the human world."

"after……"

What to do next?

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes, the disaster in Jinzhou, the catastrophe in Jinzhou, the calamity in Zhongzhou, countless deaths and injuries, these scenes emerged before his eyes, and finally the seal of humanity in his palm lit up naturally. Layers of overlapping and boundless heavy light flowed here, and the eight big words [Receive orders from others, and live long and prosper] became increasingly silent.

The reason why he couldn't attack the Human Emperor before was because he was protected by the majestic destiny of humanity.

You can't kill him!

Now, with one seal, the Human Emperor will lose his honorable position and be deposed by me!

That's not the Human Emperor!

It's just killing a tyrant and a thief, what's wrong with that? !

How could it affect the destiny of humanity? !

Not only will it not affect the destiny of humanity, but it is what the general trend requires, what people want, and it is a matter of brilliance!

At this time, Qi Wuhuo suddenly understood why he had always felt that there was something wrong with the way of the Human Emperor.

"So that's how it is... The "Huang" in "Human Emperor" refers to someone with a virtue as brilliant as fire. This means that no matter whether it's an immortal, god, Buddha, or demon, if they attack someone with the highest virtue in the world, they will be attacked and retaliated by the destiny of humanity. On the other hand, those with virtue in the world will be protected by the destiny of the Human Emperor. Those with both the highest virtue and conduct are called "Huang."

"Instead of the King of Leaders."

"What they seek is not bloodline; it is virtue!"

"This way, every generation of our human race's emperor will be the one with the highest moral character, and will be as brilliant as fire. It will also make those who seek to become emperors cultivate their virtues and follow their conduct, and the human race will be able to prosper even more."

"Senior Brother wants to cut off our family's empire right from the root!"

Qi Wuhuo glimpsed the distant future that Xuan Zhen saw. This was a future that transcended this era and even all the history of the past years. It was so vast, so huge, and so boundless that it made people yearn for it. Even because it was like a dream, it made people feel a little afraid of the road ahead that was too vast.

"What he is going to do is really bigger than anyone imagined..."

"So, if you don't have any offspring, or even if you don't have any adopted sons, you still need to be righteous and set an example."

Qi Wuhuo suddenly felt an indescribable compassion and sadness, not for anything else, but for Xuan Zhen and the eight ministers who once followed Xuan Zhen. Based on what he knew about his senior brother's character, he would definitely not keep the Way of Destiny to himself. Those eight heroes who once followed him to change the world would definitely not be unaware of the very core of the Way of Destiny.

They did it on purpose.

It was precisely because they had learned the core of the way of destiny and had been led by Xuanzhen to see the grand and distant future that they were afraid. They chose to take a step back and fundamentally gave up Xuanzhen's path, the future without an emperor or a crown prince, and a future that was passed down from generation to generation, and instead stuck to their own interests.

They abandoned Xuanzhen.

Then they tore apart Xuan Zhen's dream and the world that Xuan Zhen had pacified, and swallowed it up whole, claiming to be the king and the hegemon, as if the grand and upright Human Emperor, and themselves who had once pursued the Human Emperor with great passion, had never appeared.

Qi Wuhuo held the file in his hand and could feel the cause and effect he was carrying. He knew what he needed to do next.

"Return to the human world."

"Depose those emperors!"

"Then, I will continue Brother Xuanzhen's path and unify the world again, so that the people of this world will no longer suffer from the pain of war..."

Qi Wuhuo remained calm and made a decision, promising to return Brother Xuanzhen's belongings to Nan Qingzi in the future.

And then he put these two things away.

Recalling the dragon corpse he had glimpsed in the forbidden forest, he said, "I have one more thing to ask."

…

But let’s talk about the place in Fengdu City, where the Five Ghost Emperors live.

The three Ghost Emperors watched as the young Taoist knocked on the door and asked Nan Qingzi to follow him. The atmosphere between them was a little tense, but after a while, when they saw Nan Qingzi coming back, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked about the young Taoist's actions. The Southern Ghost Emperor only said that the Taoist wanted to get closer to him, and he was just pretending to be nice, and only then did he get away.

Then he said solemnly:

"Brother, this person has a deep mind and is extremely powerful."

"If he stays in Fengdu City, he will be a disaster. We should think of a way to send him back as soon as possible."

The Central Ghost Emperor's expression fluctuated, and he said, "You are right..."

Zhou Qi sighed and said, "I lost the test this time. Although our combined strength is enough to kill the Fire Star Lord here, it will offend the Northern Emperor... I can't figure out why the Northern Emperor sent Huo Yao here?"

The other many Ghost Emperors were also puzzled.

After all, if they really want to kill, they might as well send the Exorcist House!

But if it wasn't for the purpose of suppression, the one sent was Fire Star, who is the most powerful force against ghosts.

Really, I can’t even imagine what the Northern Emperor wants to do.

Finally, Zhou Qi sighed and said, "The Northern Emperor's thoughts are indeed grand. I am not as good as him. That's it, that's it."

"Let him go..."

You are allowed to leave. This is actually considered as a sign of the Central Ghost Emperor's surrender. However, on the second day, when the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi was recuperating from his injuries, he heard bursts of laughter coming from afar. He frowned slightly, and a point of divine light flew out, in which he saw the 72 departments of ghosts and gods, all of whom were in a line, surrounding the young Taoist and laughing.

The Northern Ghost King was particularly tall. He just sat there and carried a huge wine jar, inviting the 72 ghosts and gods to drink together.

Zhou Qi frowned and looked at the young Taoist.

The young Taoist raised his eyes with a smile in them, and raised his wine glass, as if inviting the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi to come here as well. The latter frowned slightly, with many doubts in his heart, but refused respectfully, turned around and left, and saw a confidant coming, so he waved and found him, asking him what the young Taoist was doing.

The envoy replied, "The envoy said that he had just arrived here and didn't know much about our names, cultivation and strength, so he wanted us to demonstrate all our moves and abilities for him, and then write down our names, origins and experiences for him."

The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi raised his eyelids.

Um?

Record name, surname, magical powers, and origin?

What is he doing? Is he trying to win people's hearts, or is he recording the methods of the ghosts and gods in Fengdu City in preparation for a future confrontation?

Zhou Qi asked calmly, "He asked you to practice, and you practiced?"

The chief of the underworld had doubts in his tone, and said, "But, he is the envoy, isn't it natural for him to see our skills? Everyone thinks that with the skills of the chief, he only needs one or two moves to beat us. This time he wants to see our skills, maybe he can rearrange the positions of the seventy-two departments, so everyone is working very hard."

Zhou Qi was speechless for a moment.

I want to scold, but I don't know how to say it.

I could only curse myself in my heart for being stupid!

In this way, if there is a fight or confrontation in the future, that person will know all your methods and trump cards.

Isn't that just seeking death in vain!

He felt a little anxious. The behavior of the young Taoist had posed a huge threat to the anger and preparation he had suppressed for eight thousand years. He already knew that he had rebellious intentions, and now he was collecting intelligence about Fengdu City. Wasn't he preparing for future struggles?

He is truly cruel and ruthless, with a deep and scheming mind.

The first move was to go for the most ruthless means, and with empty words he said he would rearrange the 72 departments, making these underworld ghosts and gods work harder than the other to bring out their trump cards!

He called a few Ghost Emperors to discuss the matter, and said, "...This move is undoubtedly intended to test our strength. If we really have a conflict with the Northern Emperor, they have prepared in advance. Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? We have already lost three points before the battle even starts."

"We have only gotten this far in the past few days. If we continue, won't we be able to find out more?"

"Forget it, let him go."

Two days later, the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi heard the noise outside again. Looking from afar, he saw the young Taoist practicing his magical powers. He was surrounded by the heads of the 72 departments, all of whom looked surprised and admired. The others were all shocked, pleased and convinced.

The Central Ghost Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he called his confidant to ask, "What are you doing making such a commotion?"

The chief envoy bowed respectfully, with excitement and anticipation in his eyes, and said:

"Emperor, it's the Honorable Envoy. Didn't he know our magical powers before? We thought that the Envoy was collecting our methods and re-arranging the order of the 72 Chief Envoys. Today, the Envoy described those magical powers to us again, and we found that he removed many of the vulgar parts, and the magical powers are three times more exquisite than before."

"It makes the ghosts lose their gloomy and mysterious nature. When they perform their moves, they actually have a sense of authenticity and dignity!"

!!!!!!!

The Central Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes when he saw the faces of those in charge, which were full of admiration and respect. Even his confidants, although they answered him respectfully at this moment, their minds were no longer here, but on the young Taoist. His spiritual consciousness was huge and pure, and he could already hear the ghosts beginning to respectfully address the young Taoist as "Taoist Lord".

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and replied in a gentle voice: "I am far from being at that level."

However, many Yin gods felt that it was not enough to call the young man in front of them the title of "Taoist priest"; in the entire underworld, the only one who could be called the Emperor was the Lord of the Yin Palace of Zhou Juetian, the Great Emperor of Beiyin in Fengdu, the Five Directions Ghost Emperor. It was only in recent days that some of the chief envoys began to call the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi by this title.

This is considered an overstepping of authority, and I was not qualified to do so in the past.

The ghosts and gods in the underworld thought for a while, and suddenly one of them clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "The Emperor cannot accept it, and the Taoist Lord will not accept it, so we simply don't call him by any of the existing titles, but just by a respectful title. Since the envoy is now living in the mansion in Fengdu City, we simply call him by the title of [Mansion Lord], how about that?"

When all the ghosts and gods in the underworld heard this, they all praised it.

The title of Lord of the Mansion is neither directly related to the realm, nor is it a great honor like the Lord of Dao.

But it can also be distinguished from Lingshi's simple identity.

To express respect to all the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

So everyone responded. In this era, there has never been a title of Lord of the Mansion going back five calamities. So the young Taoist priest readily agreed. However, the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi, who was watching this scene from afar, had a cold look in his eyes and clenched his fists slightly.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor's expression was grim: "First, I gave him a spiritual object, then I forgave his crime of rebellion, took his magical powers, and after he improved them, I taught him again."

"It is to give them money and forgive their sins; to teach them the way and impart their laws."

"Just this simple matter has made so many ghosts and gods respect him so much that they even think of ways to call him by the title of [Jun]..."

"The Fire Star Lord is here to buy off the hearts of these ghosts and gods."

"Brother, if this continues, our Fengdu City might really become the property of the Northern Emperor!"

“Brother!”

Zhou Qi exhaled slowly: "Old Four."

The Western Ghost Emperor stood up.

Zhou Qi said: "Go to the treasury, search for the spiritual treasures, and visit him in the same way as we did when we sent the Great Emperor away in the past."

Zhou Qi almost gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Just say that my Fengdu City temple is small and the place is not big."

“There is really no room for this great god.”

"Please ask him to leave."

"yes!"

But before the story was finished, there were sounds of cheering and laughter. It turned out to be the conversation of ghosts and gods. It was this young Taoist who really arranged the positions of the 72 departments, and then invited all the ghosts and gods in the underworld to join forces, using the magical powers of all ghosts and gods as the foundation, to create a special large-scale ritual together.

It is so vast that it encompasses the entire underworld city of Fengdu, and so majestic that it requires the assistance of the seventy-two underworld ghosts and gods and the ghosts under their command.

Because it is a ritual of the underworld, it is called "sacrifice".

Offer sacrifices to the Lord of Fengdu.

Just by asking how to do it, the faces of several ghost emperors changed drastically -

Inviting all the Yin gods, including Fengdu, a huge ritual? !

They also want to engrave the ritual patterns in the 2,700-li Fengdu City? With such a grand momentum, how noisy and magnificent will the movement be when it is opened? !

What does he want to do?!

With such a powerful force, are they really going to seize the Fengdu City?

The central ghost emperor Zhou Qi had a gloomy expression. Finally, he waved his sleeves, stood up, gritted his teeth, and came with several ghost emperors. The young Taoist was flipping through the files. He looked up and saw Zhou Qi coming. He smiled and asked what he was doing.

The ghost emperors on the left and right, each holding a tray with treasures on it, stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Fengdu is a small place, and it is extremely cold and gloomy. There is not much scenery to enjoy. I am sorry, my lord, please..., no..."

Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and bowed:

"Please, Lord, go to the world of the living."
