1512 Desire to Go to the Underworld, Fengdu’s Condition, Zhong Clan Wants to Take Fengdu
Ancient legend had it that Emperor Qin was an ambitious man, and no one was able to match his achievements.
Not only did he want to restore the throne of the Human Emperor, but he even wanted to conquer the Immortal Halls and rule over the Underworld to become the one and only supreme ruler!
He cultivated the Five Dragons Dominion Art for his conquest, and his cultivation level almost reached the Embodier realm. With the Fore-Dragon qi with him, even common Embodier cultivators could not harm him.
On top of that, he trained millions of soldiers and cavalries powerful enough to challenge the heavenly soldiers from the Immortal Hall! Every general under his command was a peerless expert that could sweep the world with sheer power!
!!
Besides, he even secretly formed an army of Underworld Warriors army for his conquest of the Underworld.
Back then, the Qin Empire was so powerful that it had the power to threaten the Immortal Halls and Underworld.
Both the Immortal Halls were deeply afraid of Emperor Qin’s ambitions, causing them to scheme against the empire.
First, they sowed discord between Hundred Academy and the Qin Empire, causing them to suffer a fallout. It was to weaken the human forces.
Then, they plotted an a.s.sa.s.sination plan to kill Emperor Qin, which succeeded. The death of the emperor left the empire without a leader, hence indirectly ending the plan to restore the Human Emperor’s throne.
After Emperor Qin, no one was able to even come close to his achievements and wisdom, and his death marked the end of the Human Emperor.
Following Emperor Qin’s death, his generals and soldiers all perished gradually, except for the Underworld Warriors that he secretly forged to conquer the Underworld, which had never appeared.
The Immortal Halls sent their men to search for it and even asked a great one to deduce its location, but they failed to even secure a clue of its location.
The only one who knew the location of the Underworld Warriors was the Qin Clan, the direct descendant of Emperor Qin. The location of the Underworld Warriors was actually hidden on an ancient painting scroll.
The scroll was pa.s.sed down within the family for generations. Many of the Qin clan members tried to figure out the secret hidden within but never succeeded.
The clan was then captured by Holy Violet Immortal Emperor and forcefully moved to Holy Violet Emperor Planet, all chances were lost.
When Jue Wushen led an army to eliminate the Qin clan, Qin Tianya escaped the planet with the scroll and the scroll ultimately ended up in Chu Kuangren’s hand.
“The Qin clan has been holding onto this scroll for years, but they failed to understand the secret within. I believe even the Immortal Hall doesn’t know that the Underworld Warriors is hidden not on any planets but in the Underworld!”
Chu Kuangren smiled at the content of the scroll. With Lil Ai’s help, deciphering the secret of the scroll was not difficult.
No one expected that Emperor Qin, a living human being, would hide his Underworld Warriors in the Underworld.
“It seems like I have to go down to the Underworld,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
He left a clone behind to deal with all sorts of matters, and with Jue Wushen and the others around, no one would dare to cause too much of a problem.
A living being entering the Underworld was difficult, even an Arch Gilded Immortal would be affected. The only way into the Underworld without being affected was by possessing the t.i.tle of Ghost Emperor.
“I can also visit Hua Wuai as I promised, and I can deal with this along the way.”
Chu Kuangren then told Lan Yu about his intention to go down to the Underworld.
Lan Yu knew full well how ominous and terrifying the Underworld was. A living being would be heavily restricted down there, and not even a great one had the confidence to move freely.
Knowing that she might be a burden to Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu decided to return to the academy instead.
“Hm. I think this is my first trip down to the Underworld ever since I became the Ghost Emperor,” Chu Kuangren pondered as he scratched his chin.
Meanwhile, at Fengdu Underworld City, millions of Underworld soldiers patrolled the place, ensuring the law and order of the city.
Countless ghosts and souls would wander to the Underworld from all parts of the Immortal World to enter samsara. As the number of souls increased, Fengdu Underworld City seemed to flourish and grow stronger.
On this particular day, the entire Fengdu Underworld City faced an unprecedented quake.
The city saw a group of people standing outside of its gates. Everyone in the group wore iron armor and wielded sabers and axes as they descended from the sky.
The leading person was a middle-aged man in black robes.
Unlike the others around him, who were obviously Underworld soldiers, he was a living human!
Or more precisely, an Underworlder!
The biggest difference between a common living human being and an Underworlder would be their physique. The Underworlder’s physique has been a.s.similated by the Underworld’s environment, thus freeing himself from the influence of Yin qi.
There were quite a number of Underworlders dwelling in the Underworld.
After the Immortal World was reformed, they grouped together to form all kinds of factions. Some continued to serve under the three major Underworld cities, some formed their own forces.
In short, it was complicated.
The group that appeared before Fengdu Underworld City was a clan named the Zhong clan.
The Zhong clan was one of the biggest clans in the Underworld, as they seconded only to the three major Underworld cities. After the Immortal World was reformed, all three of the Underworld cities were destroyed, and Fengdu Underworld City suffered the worst among the three.
The name of the three major Underworld cities was gone following Fengdu’s total destruction, and only Yincao and Taishan were left.
However, Chu Kuangren revitalized the reincarnation mechanism in Fengdu and pushed its name back to the top three Underworld cities. The millions of Underworld soldiers even allowed Fengdu to make a stand for itself.
Despite having a million Underworld soldiers, the Zhong clan never gave up on Fengdu. They had always wanted to occupy it, and ultimately replace it.
The clan leader of the Zhong clan, Zhong Yun, led his soldiers on a siege of the city again.
Inside a pavilion of the city, two b.a.l.l.s of ghastly green flame rose and formed a skeleton.
Its eyes, which were the two b.a.l.l.s of green flame, stared into the distance and it grunted.
“The Zhong clan is here again. Persistent…”
With a step forward, the skeleton rose up to the sky.
Countless souls knew a fight was happening, but nothing seemed surprising to them.
One of the veteran souls told a newcomer, “It’s going to be fine. With General Skull1 and Lord Bai here, things will pa.s.s in a moment. Just go hide in Soul-Wandering Street for a while.”
Soul-Wandering Street was the place for the souls to settle down.
The souls quickly took shelter with the soldiers’ guide and when they settled down, they looked up to the sky.
Multiple figures started to rise to the sky from the city.
Each of them carried an extraordinary presence.
Some of them were Gilded Immortals, like Bai Mei, Ao Yue, and even the Eighty Demonic Generals.
“It’s them!”
Many of the souls calmed down after seeing the group in the sky.
When Zhong Yun saw the group of powerful Yin soldiers and generals, he felt deeply annoyed.
Fengdu was known as the weakest among the three major Underworld cities, but the speed of its growth was terrifying.
No one knew where the millions of soldiers and the Eighty Demonic Generals came from.
It was said that they were related to the Heavenly Champion, who was also the latest Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, up in the living realm.
“Zhong Yu, retreat at once, or don’t blame me for using force!” said General Skull as he summoned a scythe.
“General Skull, you really think I am here without confidence? I am prepared for this,” Zhong Yu laughed.
He revealed a pitch-black seal with samsara energy exuding from it.
The entire Fengdu trembled at its appearance.
Bai Mei, Ao Yue, and the others were shocked. “It’s the Samsara Emperor Seal!”
“It indeed is!”
Zhong Yun held the seal like a supreme emperor of the Underworld. He said, “I will take down Fengdu once and for all today!”
