At this moment, even Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan were tense.

Years of planning hinged on this moment.

And outside the palace, on the top floor of Zhuangyuan Tower, the people of Qingcheng also witnessed this scene.

"Everyone, prepare!"

Li Yan gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

He had decided to use Wen Lingguan to push away the Dragon Palace Water Mansion.

This move was initially intended to deal with the enigmatic Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan, but the Nine Tripod was the real trouble.

At this point, a choice had to be made.

The people of Qingcheng heard this and all began Stepping on Gang and Chanting.

Li Yan, meanwhile, released the spell he had been holding, bit his fingertip, used the blood as ink to draw talismans in the air, and then enacted a mantra, finally imprinting it on the "Bing Ding Ghost Talisman."

Summoning Wen Lingguan not only requires someone to set up a magic platform in coordination, but also involves a lot of preparations. For example, the incense burner needed to be piled with vermillion, sulfur, Thunderstruck Wood, and other objects, and it must be spiritual objects from temples long offering tribute.

Fortunately, these items are common consumables in the performance of spells and can be easily gathered.

Boom!

With Li Yan's spell, the incense burner instantly ignited in an explosion.

With the pungent odor of sulfur, tongues of flame shot three zhang high, casting a red glow on Li Yan's body.

Without hesitation, he continued to perform the Astral Step and recite: "Heavenly Fire and Earth Essence, Bing Ding Illuminates! Fengdu North Shade, all gods heed..."

"Wen Lingguan, swiftly reveal your true form! I invoke the decree of Emperor Fengdu..."

Having said this, he pointed the Bing Ding Ghost Talisman towards the sky.

"Execute!"

With a loud shout, a fierce wind arose all around, and a vision appeared in the sky.

Above Chengdu, dark clouds churned, with flashes of lightning and thunder.

The dense fog was torn open by the lightning, and the massive black shadow that had been hesitating suddenly dispersed.

Whoosh!

A spark fell from the sky.

When it landed on the ground, it immediately smoked.

Soon, streaks of fire fell from the sky like meteors.

A shower of fiery meteors fell on the snow, emitting a sizzling sound as they quickly melted large patches of snow, with green smoke rising.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

It was somewhat like the smoke at the end of a fireworks display.

Wen Lingguan, also known as Wen Qiong, is a "Great God of the Unrestrained Sky" of the Heavenly Court, holding the "Unrestricted Sky" gold badge, rumored to freely enter and exit the South Heavenly Gate.

His divine positions are numerous, with power represented by Thunder Fire, referred to as the "Hunter of Hidden Evil Spirits on Earth" by the Mystical Sect, with "flaming fire and molten gold, nurturing all beings."

These phenomena are all manifestations of his descent.

Even the ashes of the fire from the incense burner in front of Li Yan, when they land on the ground, vaguely form the shape of a trident, corresponding precisely to Wen Lingguan's weapon, the "Fire-tipped Spear."

These fiery meteors are not just for show.

They carry with them the intense and fierce Innate Astral Qi.

At this moment, the gate in front of Chengyun Hall had been blasted open, and reinforcements from Chongqing and the Black Feather Guards inside were shooting at each other through the gatehole with firearms.

On the city walls, the Southwest Evil Cultivators also used various Evil Techniques to repel ground forces.

When the fiery meteors fell, they were immediately in trouble.

The howling yin souls were struck and turned directly into green smoke.

The laughing paperman puppets were incinerated directly by the fire feathers.

In the face of the Spiritual Official's Divine Fire, the spells of these demons were nearly instantly broken, many suffered backlash, coughing up blood continuously.

Some were even struck by the fire rain, their bodies' Yin Sha Qi ignited, green smoke billowing from their seven orifices, screaming as they rolled on the ground...

"Run!"

Many were utterly broken and turned to flee.

Even the Blood Nuo Masters hurriedly retreated, unable to stop them in time.

And the visions in the sky were just beginning.

Boom!

In the night sky, a thunderous roar sounded.

On the square in front of Chengyun Gate, a massive footprint appeared, crackling with flames.

Boom! Boom!

The ground shook as the footprint moved toward Chengyun Gate.

Wherever it passed, the snow instantly vaporized.

The burning footprint was extinguished by the gusting snow, yet it left a web-like scorch mark on the bluestone slabs.

Mortals cannot see the invisible yin souls.

Even the most adept Daoists cannot see Wen Lingguan.

The reason is simple; his "Flame Law" and Bing Ding belongs to fire, with Divine Power leaking as fire Qi.

No mortal, however skilled, can withstand the radiance of the "Thunder Fire Dharma Form," as noted in the "Daoist Magic Origin":

"Divine might restrained, exterminating evil in the unseen."

Mortals can only sense his presence through various phenomena.

It aligns with the Mystical Sect's idea of "the grand elephant has no shape."

Those affected are not just these Evil Cultivators.

A massive flame footprint passed by Immortal Master Erlang, who stood motionless, his face bearing the Nuo Mask, and some red "Evil Spirit Qi" directly dissipated into wisps of smoke.

The might of the Spiritual Official is evident.

Li Yan was shocked by such terrifying power, while also inwardly lamenting.

Inviting Wen Lingguan, even though he had the Bing Ding Ghost Talisman and the assistance of the Qingcheng people, the pressure was immense.

He could feel his internal organs burning as if scorched by flames.

Not only him, but even the Qingcheng people all had flushed faces, trembling slightly underfoot, with the surrounding snow quickly melting away.

Nevertheless, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

Boom!

As soon as the flame footprint stopped, a muffled sound echoed in the sky. The meteor fire shower halted and then hung upside down before converging in the air, forming a gigantic shadow of a fire-tipped spear.

In an instant, it seemed as if a great hole was burned in the sky.

The dense fog quickly dissipated, and even the Dragon Palace's shadow gradually faded...

"Kill!"

The people below instantly had their morale boosted.

First, Immortal Master Erlang appeared for this battle, then a true god descended, creating such a spectacle that it was akin to the tales in the tea house about divine and ghostly exploits.

As long as they survive, they'll have stories to boast about for a lifetime.

The magic platform in front of Chengyun Hall was similarly affected.

As the fiery rain fell, the surrounding rotating white clouds, appearing like cotton, were pierced with large holes.

Seeing it couldn't sustain itself, Li Wenyuan hurriedly chanted a spell, and the Five Directions Flag whirled vigorously, desperately drawing Sha Qi to defend.

"Quick, use the talisman!"

His face twisted, he roared at his side.

Lu Sheng, upon hearing this, painfully drew an item from his bosom.

It was a Yellow Silk Scripture Banner Scroll, approximately nine inches long, with gilt yellow silk on the outside and dark silk lining, densely embroidered on the front with small characters:

Sincerely offering homage, in Qingling Cave, within Beidou Palace...

It was precisely the Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree that Li Yan had seen before.

This item was precious, and Lu Sheng, joining that organization, only received two, having already used one before.

But now, he had no choice but to act decisively.

"Command!"

Lu Sheng chanted a mantra and directly hurled it into the air.

Whirl!

The scroll unrolled, fluttering wildly in the fierce wind.

The fire-tipped spear formed from the meteor fire shower also began to dissipate, albeit slowly, as if unwillingly...

In this moment, the forces of both sides reached a stalemate.

The Dragon Palace Water Mansion's shadow stabilized once more.

Not it again!

Upon seeing it, Li Yan's scalp tingled.

His mood was quite unpleasant.

It felt like he had painstakingly invited a superior, only for someone else to issue a paper command, nullifying all his efforts.

Thinking of this, a killing intent arose in Li Yan's eyes.

Within the Daluo Law Realm,

who on earth is aiding these demons?!

Just then, the situation changed.

It was Li Wenyuan's Five Directions Flag unable to withstand the fiery rain anymore, with a stream of flames breaking through and landing on Zhao Jie.

"Ah—!"

Originally entranced, Zhao Jie suddenly woke up.

Having long fallen into the Evil Dao, practicing countless Evil Techniques, the resentment and Yin Sha Qi on his body immediately suffered.

Such is the Bing Ding Fire of Wen Lingguan.

It can both exterminate evil and nurture warmth.

Ordinary people hit by it only feel slightly warm, ultimately becoming enveloped in heated energy, impervious to the fierce winds and harsh cold around.

But Zhao Jie, such a demon, felt like ice encountering a magma, shrieking repeatedly, with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Good!

Li Yan could hardly restrain himself from cheering.

Without the thief, let's see how they can fish the Nine Tripod!

Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan also saw this, their expressions changing drastically.

However, everyone was unaware that as this happened, someone else hid in the Eastern Palace's attic, secretly watching outside through a window.

It was none other than the previously infiltrated Nameless Young Master.

Holding the Dragon Palace Jade obtained from the Plum Mountain Brothers, he gazed at the Dragon Palace shadow in the sky, filled with uncertainty and suspicion.

Soon, drowsiness overwhelmed him, lowering his eyelids, and he fell into a deep sleep...
