"Niuda, the chieftain of the Yinshan tribe."
"Niu Yan, the chieftain of the Wushan tribe."
"Ushi Qing, the chieftain of the Yushan tribe."
After hearing the four chiefs' self-introductions, Wu Mingyuan glanced at them. All the bull monsters above the True Immortal Realm, or those that had become immortals, had completely transformed into human form, with only a pair of sharp horns still growing on their heads.
As for the bull monsters that have not yet become immortals, they all have bull heads and human bodies, and it is obvious that they have not yet fully transformed.
"Are you also from the Church of Light?" Wu Mingyuan asked. When the heavenly soldiers around him heard this, their expressions brightened and they immediately took full precautions.
Upon hearing this, the four chiefs quickly shook their heads and said, "No, no, we are not from the Church of Light."
"Then why are you in this holy city of the Church of Light?" Wu Mingyuan asked.
At this time, Yinshan chieftain Niu Man said, "Sir, our Niu Tu tribe was born in the Guzhu Realm and has lived there for generations. Originally, the Pantheon ruled us. Later, the Bright Cult defeated the Pantheon and occupied the Guzhu Realm. Then, the Bright Cult came to rule us again. Decades ago, the world changed drastically, and those demons defeated the Bright Cult and entered the Guzhu Realm. Since then, we have been ruled by them once again."
"Hmm?" Wu Mingyuan looked slightly stunned and asked, "Hasn't your Niu Tu tribe been infected by the evil spirit?"
Niu Man hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "Sir, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." Wu Mingyuan said.
Niu Man said: "I would like to ask you, sir, you and those demons... uh..."
"They're enemies!" Wu Mingyuan said firmly, "We are from Huntian Prefecture and are subordinates of Hongqing Zhenren, the Immortal Venerable of Huntian Prefecture. Our Huntian Prefecture's mission is to exterminate all demons within the Hunyi Heavens."
The four chiefs were stunned when they heard this. Then, Yinshan Chief Niu Da asked, "Then... why do you want to fight against the Church of Light?"
Wu Mingyuan said, "The Church of Light has arbitrarily detained our Huntian Mansion's envoys. This is a serious provocation to the dignity of our Huntian Mansion. Our Huntian Mansion abides by the laws of heaven and responds to the will of all spirits. We will not allow anyone to challenge our dignity."
At this point, Wu Mingyuan looked at the four chiefs and said, "We have been battling those heretic demons—oh, what you call 'demons'—for eons. We have always defeated them, and this time is no exception!"
Wu Mingyuan's tone was filled with confidence and pride when he said this. He then looked at the four chiefs and said, "I now declare that the Guzhu Realm is officially ruled by my Huntian Mansion. However, we still need to investigate your relationship with the Church of Light. Before that, none of you are allowed to leave this city. If it is determined that you are not followers of the Church of Light, then you can leave freely and enjoy the protection of my Huntian Mansion from now on!"
"Sir." The four chiefs wanted to say something else when they heard this, but Wu Mingyuan raised his hand to interrupt them, saying, "Fellow Daoists, this matter has been decided. There is no need to say more."
Then Wu Mingyuan turned and left, and the heavenly soldiers around him immediately stepped back and formed a battle formation, surrounding all the Niu Tu people in the middle.
At this moment, the Niu Tu people immediately became agitated, but the four chiefs glanced at the heavenly soldiers around them, then turned around and went back to calm down all the agitated tribesmen.
Soon, Wude Xingjun received the report that the Guzhu Realm had been captured. Looking at the two reports in his hands, Wude Xingjun laughed and said, "The Immortal Venerable gave me three days to capture the Cangyuan and Guzhu Realms, and we completely wiped out all the forces of the Bright Cult and occupied both realms within three hours. Great, great!"
At this time, the Heavenly General Gao Ke said, "It's a pity that the bandit leader of the Lone Bamboo Realm escaped."
Upon hearing this, Wude Xingjun's smile faded and he nodded, saying, "It's indeed a pity, but now that we're in the Second Realm, I can report back to the Immortal Venerable!"
...
Juana was wearing shackles on her ankles, her face was pale and her expression was listless as she was escorted forward by the heavenly soldiers. Behind her were her nine main angels and fourteen spirit angels, all of whom were captured without exception.
Suluwei was among them. He took difficult steps, his expression full of anger and shame. He looked down at the immortal-binding shackles locked around his ankles, and secretly cursed this damn thing for sealing all his power.
Juana's gaze occasionally flickered toward the Guzhu Realm, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. However, the heavenly soldier guarding her noticed Juana's subtle movements and immediately said, "Don't expect the Guzhu Realm's Illuminati to rescue you. The Guzhu Realm is also included in this attack."
Juana trembled slightly when she heard this, and her heart sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant. Judging from the intensity of these outsiders' attacks on the Cangyuan Realm, Walch would not be much better than herself.
She knew that she had underestimated the strength of these outsiders, so much so that she was completely defeated and captured before she could even wait for reinforcements.
Juana and her group will be sent to Yihua Territory for centralized detention, but these angels and those holy warriors will be detained separately.
After entering the Yihua Realm, a celestial soldier responsible for patrolling the boundary sky in the Yihua Realm said to Juana and the others, "Congratulations! You failed and were forced back the last time you tried to break into the realm, but this time you finally made it through on your own."
Faced with the sarcasm and ridicule of the heavenly soldiers, the main angels and spirit angels became extremely angry, and struggled to come up to argue with the heavenly soldiers.
But Juana smiled calmly and said to the heavenly soldier, "Thank you, but I think one day you will also enter the realm of my Church of Light in the same way."
"Oh?" The soldier smiled slightly, then bowed and said, "Then we'll wait and see."
Juana and the others were then escorted to the land by the heavenly soldiers and imprisoned in a temporary wooden camp.
The "houses" inside were merely shabby, simple wooden shacks. Not only did Juana and the others feel a tinge of anger at being slighted, but even some of the escorting Heavenly Guards grumbled, "What's wrong with those guys stationed in Yihua? Why are they so perfunctory in setting up a prisoner camp? Is this even habitable?"
Just then, a celestial soldier in charge of setting up the camp passed by and immediately said, "What's the big deal? They won't be staying here for more than a few days anyway before heading off to the Jin Liu Bao Realm to work as labor camp miners. Doesn't it matter what kind of camp it is?"
After hearing this explanation, the heavenly soldiers in charge of the escort nodded in understanding, and then escorted the angels, whose faces were filled with anger and confusion, into the dilapidated prisoner camp.
