This journey, truly we've seen too much.

Murder, robbery, setting traps to frame others, evil skills to harm people...

We've encountered all kinds of unscrupulous tricks.

But what Zhao Changsheng has done is truly hard to accept.

They view all living beings as ants.

To achieve their goals, they can trample on others as they please.

In just a few days, who knows how many people have died.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly feels that "Heavenly Rules" aren't bad.

These demons lurking in the human world.

Not a single one should exist!

"Young Hero Li, focus!"

A reminder from Mingshanzi came from behind.

At this moment, all of the Qingcheng Sect members were in position, the Magic Flags inside the Jingyang Altar were connected into a piece of Gang Qi.

These Gang Qi were simulating "Jingyang."

It was a warm and bright force, like sunlight shining on a vast winter, even the surrounding snow began to melt.

Li Yan stopped thinking aimlessly, picked up the "Bing Ding Ghost Talisman," his hands performing a mantra, carefully feeling the powers of Luo Feng Mountain.

Everything was ready at this moment, just waiting for Sha Lifei to make a move...

...

Inside the dark tunnel, torches flickered unpredictably.

The descent of the Dragon Palace influenced these dark passages, water droplets formed on the surrounding stone walls and pits, which turned into mud upon falling to the ground.

At this moment, Sha Lifei and his group were covered in mud spots.

Of course, they couldn't think much about it right now.

"San'er, are we not there yet?"

Sha Lifei became slightly anxious, unable to restrain himself from asking.

Lv San frowned and stopped sharply at an intersection, looking around with some confusion.

"What happened?"

Sha Lifei got startled, quickly asking.

Lv San touched the stone wall and said with some doubt, "Something's not right, I've engraved secret signs at various places before, but they've suddenly disappeared here."

"This tunnel should lead to the west of the city."

"Good grief!"

Hearing this, Sha Lifei was stunned, "San'er, this is a crucial moment, how can you get lost?"

"Not lost."

"Earth Listening String" Yue San'er shook his head slightly, performed a mantra and listened carefully, saying, "The power of the Dragon Palace has already seeped underground, causing chaos in the surrounding Earth Qi, we're probably encountering a Ghost Wall."

"Use the Baopu Mountain Climbing Technique!"

With that, he took out some Mugwort and handed it to the group.

The old Taoist Chongchenzi from Qingcheng Sect accepted it without hesitation, wrapping it around his fingertips, performing mantra and Mountain Climbing Skill.

The others acted swiftly as well.

Only Sha Lifei's face looked awkward, "Well, although Old Sha has some talent, I just joined Mystical Sect and haven't learned this trick yet."

"No worries, just follow us."

"Earth Listening String" Yue San'er took over Li San's task, took out the Compass, and led the group forward.

This time, the road ahead finally remained unchanged.

The old man Yue San'er used the Earth Master technique to sense the flow of Earth Vein Qi, quickly leading the group back to the main path.

It was the same previous intersection, but with mouse bite marks on it.

Lv San finally breathed a sigh of relief, "This underground tunnel should also have been built by Mystical Sect craftsmen, the structure seen earlier wasn't false, but similarly constructed to confound people."

This time, he checked marks at every segment he passed.

After a while, the space ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a warehouse made of caves, with only some moldy cabinets inside.

"From here, it leads straight to the Shu Prince Mansion."

Lv San also breathed a sigh of relief.

Clap clap clap!

At this moment in the darkness, the sound of applause echoed.

From the tunnel leading to Shu Prince Mansion, a figure slowly emerged, wearing a simple robe, his face twisted continuously.

It was the chief of Chengdu underworld: Wuxiang Gongzi.

Looking at Lv San, he clicked his tongue in reinforcement, "No wonder they call you 'Xu Quan' Lv San, I masked my tracks carefully, yet you found the place."

"What are you planning?"

Sha Lifei gripped the Divine Fire Gun, asking coldly.

"Hahaha..."

Wuxiang Gongzi chuckled dryly, his face turning gloomy, "I genuinely wanted to cooperate with you, showed tolerance and treated with courtesy."

"You end up calculating against me one by one."

"Li Yan played a good person, causing my people to be disunited, then hunted down by Shu Prince Mansion, suffering heavy casualties, I'm completely isolated now."

"I went to great lengths to find this tunnel, and today if you don't give me an explanation, none of you will pass!"

With these words, he took out a Gunpowder Barrel from his waist.

Gathering by the torchlight, it seemed as if it could ignite at any moment.

His experience in the pugilistic world was extensive; although he had not encountered the Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely, he had heard of the renowned Chongchenzi from the Qingcheng Sect.

Alone, he was no match.

He could only use threats in this manner.

"Wait, let's talk this out."

Sha Lifei quickly stopped him, chuckling, "If a senior is blocking our way here, it must be for a reason. Why not tell us what you want?"

The Young Master Wuxiang, hearing this, stopped wasting words and gritted his teeth, "What did you find at the Dragon Palace Water Mansion in Dujiangyan?"

"Found nothing!"

Sha Lifei replied speechlessly, "To be honest, we found nothing at Dujiangyan. King Shu played us all. The fog covering the entire Chengdu Prefecture is the Dragon Palace Water Mansion."

"They want to find the Nine Tripods, which are set in the courtyard of the Royal Palace. If we're late, the treasure will be taken away…"

The matter of the Nine Tripods had already been spread by Li Yan. Even the ordinary soldiers at the Chongqing Guard Station knew it, so it was no longer a secret,

Given that, it was better to use this information to lure away the Young Master Wuxiang, lest he ruin their grand plans.

"Nine Tripods?!"

Young Master Wuxiang's eyes lit up, finding it hard to believe.

But looking at everyone's expressions, they didn't seem to be lying.

With this thought, greed rose in Young Master Wuxiang's heart. He held the gunpowder barrel and slowly backed away from the group.

Then, he turned and ran, disappearing into the darkness.

"Finally left."

Sha Lifei happily said, "If he enters the Shu Prince Mansion, he surely doesn't know we're about to blow the wall."

"Let's go quickly, to avoid any further trouble."

The others took heed and continued on their way swiftly.

After moving through for the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, Lv San suddenly stopped.

"It's just ahead."

Raising their heads, they saw that ahead was no longer a tunnel with stone walls but a wall made up of skulls.

Though devoid of Sha Qi, it pressed heavily on their hearts.

"Chengdu really has such a thing?"

Even the Yin Yang Pen, Cui Bai, was surprised, "I've researched some records. In the past, Chengdu Prefecture had a great battle with the Golden Stick Wolf Country, with countless casualties, and turned the enemies into a 'Corpse Pile,' buried underground, to suppress Chengdu's Qi Fortune."

Next to him, Yue San'er shook his head, "It's all to fool the common people; this thing has no real use..."

He spoke while pulling out a Compass to check.

Finally, he slapped his palm on a dirt pit's side, "The Shu Prince Mansion was built making the ground solid, from here it's more suitable."

Without delay, Sha Lifei immediately secured the gunpowder packages he carried, winding and reinforcing them with a long fuse.

"Move quickly!"

The group sped away, watching the fuse burn with a hiss...

...

Outside the Shu Prince Mansion, the battle grew increasingly fierce.

The greatest threat was still the Black Feather Guards.

Their heavy-armored gunners possessed not only immense strength but also firearms thicker than others.

Cooperating several times, they even demolished a century-old establishment.

"Beat the drums! Exchange for armor-piercing arrows!"

Zhao XianDa, sensing something amiss, immediately gave the order.

The gears creaked~

The Chongqing Guard Station soldiers promptly complied.

In an instant, dense arrows whistled through the air.

With a series of thuds, those heavy-armored gunners turned as black as coal.

Rumble~

At that moment, the ground quivered slightly.

With a thunderous boom, the front gate of the mansion exploded into fragments, and even the surrounding walls began to collapse…

The time had come!

Li Yan abruptly opened his eyes and began rhythmically chanting incantations.

"Earth Spirits Commanders, the world's True Gods. Rulers of Earth Spirits, overseers of temples. Assist us with magic, illuminate the mighty premier. Purple-haired Demon King, Iron-faced great Judge…"

This was the Treasure Decree of Wen Lingguan.

However, reciting it several times bore no response.

Seeing the Qingcheng members growing suspicious, Li Yan grit his teeth, again invoking the spell, channeling his full power.

Rattle rattle!

Two Soul Hooks flew from his back, drawing in a large amount of Yin Sha Qi, enveloping him entirely.

This was Li Yan utilizing the "Divine Transformation Technique."

At this moment, shrouded in black mist, he commanded the magic platform, chanting incessant prayers.

Rumble~

In the dense fog overhead, lightning flickered.

It seemed as if a massive shadow raced swiftly through the clouds...
