Shi You stood aside, looking a little depressed. He was actually suppressed by this demon king just by looking at him.
It was in vain that he had followed Empress Houtu to pat her chest and promise that with his protection, Zhang Jian would be absolutely safe.
And he seemed to have arrived a little late. It took three full breaths to come out from the secret realm deep in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He still underestimated the enemy too much.
"Emperor, this is because I have been slacking off. Then I will apologize to His Majesty Houtu and ask him to replace you with a new guard!" Shi You thought for a while, then stepped forward to apologize.
This scene made many powerful men in the Netherworld look askance. Many of them knew Shiyou's identity.
He is the great god guarding the temple in front of Pingxin Temple and the god general in front of the temple. Hearing what Shiyou meant, Empress Houtu actually assigned the Mingyue Emperor as a bodyguard.
The majestic Dao Lord of the Underworld actually became the bodyguard of this emperor. This kind of respect made the faces of other emperors, ghosts and gods slightly change.
Zhang Jian smiled slightly, stepped forward to support Shi Shi and said with a faint smile.
"Shi Dian Shuai doesn't necessarily blame himself so much. The problem is that the Demon Lord is too cunning. Who would have thought that she, a majestic Demon Lord, could be so insidious, regardless of her identity!" Shi You shook his head and said.
"No matter what, if you are wrong, you are wrong. I will take the initiative to apologize to Your Majesty!" Seeing Shi You's solemn expression, Zhang Jian immediately stopped trying to persuade him.
Shiyou did come too late. Three full breaths. If he hadn't been protected by the innate spiritual treasure, he would have died under the methods of Demon Lord Zijing in just one breath.
A veteran demon king has been plotting secretly and keeping watch, which is really thrilling. Zhang Jian felt awe-struck when he recalled the shocking change just now.
At this time, the figure of 'Qingxia Daojun' fell from the void, Shi You slightly cupped his hands, and immediately turned into a ray of light and escaped.
'Qingxia Daojun' glanced at Zhang Jian for a moment, and a strange smile appeared in his eyes.
"You are very lucky to be able to save your life despite the premeditated assassination of an ancient demon king!" Zhang Jian said with a slight cup of his hand.
"If Tao Lord hadn't come to the rescue, it would have been very difficult for the disciples to escape from the devil's plan!" Zhang Jian made a pun.
'Qingxia Daojun' smiled and said nothing, and after a few words of comfort to Zhang Jian, he immediately said.
"Demon Lord Zi Jing has been suppressed by me, but the Netherworld has been a mixed bag since ancient times. You still have to be careful and don't let other immortals and demons find the opportunity to kill you!" After a slight pause, she said immediately.
"However, since you possess a treasure, great luck, and good deeds to protect you, it will be difficult to kill you unless you are in a desperate situation or are really unlucky and meet a demon from the demon world!" 'Qingxia Daojun' said with a smile. Yan Yan, the corners of Zhang Jian's mouth twitched slightly.
He felt that his luck should not be so bad. After noticing the departure of 'Qingxia Daojun', other immortals also came and went in a hurry.
However, the appearance of a demon king in the Netherworld Underworld still alerted the gods of the Netherworld Underworld. Many people with great supernatural powers consciously stepped up patrols in their territories, and Fengdu City also sent special envoys to express condolences.
In addition to condolences, Fengdu City also sent strong men to search the Netherworld. This is considered a formal official attitude.
It's just that such a search is bound to find nothing. Most of the powerful demons are good at hiding, not to mention that the major forces in the Netherworld are intertwined.
Zhang Jian never thought about getting any compensation from the Netherworld. However, with the excuse of colluding with the devil, he had a fair and just reason to deal with the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor and the Netherworld General Fa Yuanze.
Colluded with the devil to murder the Netherworld Emperor. On the selected day, after he informed the Emperor of Fengdu, he executed the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor and Fa Yuan in front of the Eighth Army of Mingyue, crushing their bones and scattering ashes in order to frighten many ghosts and gods. military.
Anyone who disobeyed was suppressed by him with thunderous means. Perhaps it was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, or because of Zhang Jian's tyrannical supernatural powers in this assassination, the Taotie Ghost Emperor, the Bingshan Ghost Emperor, and the remaining two Netherworld generals all cooperated honestly.
Zhang Jian also successfully took control of the Mingyue Eighth Army. Each of Ming Yue's eight armies has one hundred thousand elite ghost soldiers.
The Eighth Army represents 800,000 elite ghost soldiers. However, after taking charge of the entire Ming Yue Ghost Army, Zhang Jian carefully investigated the situation, and Zhang Jian was in a bad mood.
The situation of Ming Yue's Eighth Army being indiscriminate and indiscriminate was very serious. There are also cases of private sales of Netherworld ghost soldiers, Netherworld armaments, and even the living people of the Netherworld Ghost Kingdom.
The Eighth Army had 800,000 elite ghost soldiers, and at least 400,000 elite ghost soldiers were secretly sold by the Ghost Emperor and Ghost King in the Ming Yue Army.
Sold to other ghost kingdoms and even immortals from heretical circles. This discovery made Zhang Jian furious.
He vigorously organized all the armies and carefully searched and identified each army. Once found, he immediately shot down the ghosts, gods and Taoists, and directly sent them to the depths of the eighteenth level of hell.
Among them there are many middle- and upper-level immortal officials. Be sure to follow the rules and regulations. Such bad trends were gradually curbed.
The next step is to crack down on the buying and selling of people in the Ming Yue Ghost Kingdom. Not only the Nether Moon Ghost Kingdom, Zhang Jian also met and discussed with the other nine Nether Emperors many times.
Carry out multiple joint methods to severely crack down on those ghosts and gods who buy and sell ghosts. Anyone who transgresses will be severely punished and sent to the eighteen levels of hell, where they will never be reincarnated.
At the same time, Zhang Jian was also re-selecting elite ghost soldiers from the Mingyue Ghost Kingdom and other directly governed Jiuyou Nether Mansion to add to the Eighth Army of the Mingyue.
However, after experiencing the torture of many ghost emperors, his Mingyue Ghost Kingdom and even the people's livelihood under his rule were in decline.
It is still extremely difficult to select enough elites among them. Zhang Jian didn't have much to do about this.
The Eighth Army of Ming Yue can only be rebuilt bit by bit. As for restoring the formation of the Fourteenth Army of the Dark Moon, we don't know how long it will take.
...In Pingxin Hall, Zhang Jian sat cross-legged. After dealing with the trivial matters in Mingyue Ghost Kingdom, Zhang Jian returned to focusing on cultivation.
After experiencing this assassination, he understood even more clearly that only strong enough Taoism could protect himself from disaster.
No matter how strong other authorities are, they can only add to the peaceful years. As he thought, a circle of bright and vast moon appeared behind his head, slightly with a circle of gray and white patterns, and a majestic Netherworld power emanated from his body, which was the complete authority of the Mingyue Emperor.
The authority of the Ming Yue Emperor in its complete state is the true Taoist personality. Zhang Jian had a slight feeling that its divine power was extremely powerful. As for the specific stage of Dao Lord it was close to, he didn't know yet.
After all, he has never reached the level of Dao Lord, so he is currently unable to perceive such detailed differences. In his eyes, Dao Lord is powerful and irresistible.
What Zhang Jian has to do now is to understand the power contained in the Ming Yue Emperor and Jiu Nether Ling Emperor, and fully integrate them into his own authority on the Nether side.
He must achieve this, even after abdicating the throne, he can still fully control the mysteries of these two great gods. If he can do this, his status as a Dao Lord will be considered a starting point.
Countless complicated patterns appeared behind him. Most of these complicated patterns are innate runes transformed by Zhang Jian's authority. These are all his own understanding. Even if the authority leaves, he has understood the roots of these authority and can still integrate them.
Countless purple patterns circulate, and on the other side are many earth-yellow runes. Those earthy-yellow runes are mainly earth attributes, earth attributes, and turbid air attributes.
The two layers of purple and yellow celestial light flowed, like the Yin and Yang Tai Chi diagram, emerging behind him in perfect harmony.
The purple and yellow brilliance of the emperor's position in the center gradually became harmonious in this realization. Zhang Jian felt that his soul and Taoist heart were also slowly growing in this boring process.
The vast moon hanging high in the underworld is constantly converting the essence of the vast moon into the depths of Zhang Jian's eyebrows.
His conduct increases day by day. ...During this period, Shiyou received his punishment in Pingxin Palace and did not show up for thousands of years.
Six thousand years later. In the Mingyue Emperor's residence, Zhang Jian finished a round of practice. At this time, an acquaintance came to the palace of Emperor Mingyue.
The Demon-Slaying True Lord. When this master arrived, Zhang Jian naturally had to go out to greet him in person. True Monarch Demon Slayer came on this trip but had another important matter.
At this time, the Demon-Slayer True Monarch's expression was somewhat solemn.
"Ayu, I can only ask you for help in this matter!" Immediately, Demon Slayer True Monarch made the purpose of his trip clear.
It turns out that she came here for Taoist Tiexin. In Zhoushan Realm, Taoist Tie Xin has not made any progress since he became a true immortal. Tens of thousands of years later, the true immortal tribulation has become more and more severe. Taoist Tie Xin feels more and more difficult. Therefore, after communicating with many ancestors in the heaven, he decided to reincarnate and rebuild the great road.
In fact, seeing the elders of many masters, senior sisters, brothers, and even many nephews and nephews becoming immortals one after another, and even stepping into the Taiyi realm with the help of the great fortune of heaven, Taoist Tiexin could not bear the pressure after all.
It happened that this lightning disaster damaged the immortal body, and he heard that Zhang Jian became the Nether Emperor of the Ten Palaces in the Nether Underworld, so he decided to reincarnate.
Zhang Jian laughed after hearing this.
"Master, this is a small matter. Later I will compile a copy of the book and go to Brother Yama, so that Uncle Tie Xin can be reincarnated!" Taoist Tie Xin is an immortal of the demon-slaying lineage and is very popular in the sect. Of course Zhang Jian I am also willing to help him.
After reincarnation, it is not difficult to have excellent qualifications, not to mention having a Tao body. Demon-Slaying True Monarch was slightly relieved when she heard this, but she still sighed a little while looking at the magnificent Ming Yue Emperor Temple.
"I really didn't expect you to be as good as you are today!"
"In the Tongshan Taoist lineage, the master line has also benefited greatly from you!" Zhang Jian became one of the top ten Nether Emperors in the Netherworld, and the status of the demon-slaying lineage of the Tongshan Taoist lineage also increased.
Not to mention the huge fortune that has returned to the sect, many immortals and gods in the demon-slaying lineage have also made rapid progress.
If not, she wouldn't have been able to reach the edge of the Taiyi realm in just tens of thousands of years. It should be noted that the two ancestors Qingyuan and Zidian stayed in the Zhoushan realm for millions of years before finally successfully entering the Taiyi realm.
Zhang Jian thought for a while and then said.
"Master, since you are here, I will also give you a benefit!"
"Now that the palace of Emperor Ming Yue has just been reorganized, there are many vacancies for immortal officials under my command. If there are suitable candidates from the Demon Slayer lineage, or if there are suitable candidates within the Tongshan Sect, the master can also recommend a few to enter the Netherworld Underworld as officials. !”
"Although the immortal officials in the Netherworld are not as good as those in the central heaven, they are still immortal officials!" Demon-Slayer True Lord nodded slightly.
The position of Immortal Official has always been filled with monks and few monks. In particular, many immortals within the Tongshan Taoism are mainly water-based.
The water flows through the secluded area! These immortals are more or less skilled in the magic of trance. Introducing fellow disciples into the underworld as officials is obviously a good job.
Demon-Slaying True Monarch sighed a little, she was the one who protected this disciple in Zhoushan Realm. But now it's completely the other way around.
Zhang Jian has protected her and even the sect. The Demon-Slaying Lord thought for a while and said again.
"Ayu, there is one more thing!"
"There is news from the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm that Emperor Chun Gang has gradually taken control of the overall situation of Jinquan Underworld. I'm afraid it won't take a thousand years for this rebellion to be completely over!" Zhang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this.
This Emperor Chungang only spent six or seven thousand years to suppress the rebellion. His moral integrity and luck are very extraordinary!
This might be his rival in the future. Zhang Jian wrote down this matter secretly. After the two discussed, the Demon-Slaying Lord used the method to summon the True Immortal Yuanshen of Taoist Tiexin.
The arrival of the true immortal-level soul is like the arrival of a real god in the underworld. But this is the Netherworld Palace, not the ordinary Nine Netherworld Palace. There are tens of millions of ghosts and gods here, and the arrival of a true immortal soul is nothing.
Taoist Tie Xin also sighed when he saw Zhang Jian's expression. I never thought that I would see Zhang Jian again after nearly 100,000 years, but in the netherworld.
Moreover, the other party also became the Nether Emperor of the Tenth Palace. Although I often hear the princes and grandsons of the Great Xia Dynasty in Zhoushan Realm mention it, nothing compares to meeting them in person.
"Uncle Tiexin, don't worry. I will give you an emperor's talisman directly later. After reincarnation, you will gradually recover your memory and start practicing again!"
"My emperor's talisman should be able to withstand three washes of Meng Po Tang for you!" Demon-Slayer True Monarch said upon seeing this.
"That means junior brother will have three lifetimes to rebuild the great path!" Zhang Jian nodded.
"The power of authority contained in my Emperor's talisman is very heavy and cannot be touched too deeply. Three lifetimes is almost the limit of Uncle Tiexin. Beyond three lifetimes, the Emperor's authority will inevitably contaminate the path and affect his practice!" Taoist Tiexin listened quietly. Hearing this, he immediately cupped his hands and said.
"Master Nephew's kindness will never be forgotten by Tie Xin!" Zhang Jian said, "I hope Master Nephew will become enlightened in his lifetime!" Taoist Tie Xin also had some hope in his expression.
But he was still lucky enough to get the emperor's talisman of the Netherworld Emperor and have three chances.
The two masters and disciples immediately took the lead to Naihe Bridge, and then obtained the reincarnation document from the Fifth Hall, then obtained the Seal of Reincarnation in the Reincarnation Temple, and finally went to the place where the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk was located.
Along the way, for the sake of Zhang Jian, the Ming Yue Emperor, the two Nether Emperors did not embarrass Taoist Tie Xin, and gave the green light to give Taoist Tie Xin a chance to choose his identity, and he could be reincarnated into those practicing families, or He was a descendant of a secular dynasty with great fortune.
Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, in the eyes of Demon-Slaying Lord Zhang Jian and his master and disciple, Taoist Tiexin slowly stepped onto the golden bridge step by step and disappeared into reincarnation in an instant.
Seeing farewell to Taoist Tiexin, Demon-Slayer True Monarch also returned to the Three Emperors Heaven Realm. Zhang Jian is preparing to continue retreat.
The return of Emperor Chungang also put a lot of pressure on him. This time he was not prepared to complete the practice of Tao Cheng Jian Me and not walk out of Pingxin Hall easily.
