Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Facing this "Mo Wen Dao," Zhou Xilai instantly felt an overwhelming sense of danger.

"Not good!"

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and his expression suddenly changed.

Without hesitating, Zhou Xilai's right hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly produced a Spirit Communication Jade Token.

In an instant, a Divine Thought poured into the jade token.

At the same time, Zhou Yingze, who was in Zhou City, suddenly noticed his waist jade token flashing.

His face drastically changed as his Divine Sense instantly probed into the jade token, and in a moment, a stream of information rapidly filled his mind.

After reading the information, Zhou Yingze felt a chill in his heart; he was extremely shocked and, disregarding the demeanor of a Family Head, shouted out to the elders, "Quick, activate the Defensive Array! An enemy is attacking!"

...

After sending out the information, Zhou Xilai felt slightly relieved.

However, he did not notice that Mo Wen Dao on the opposite side had quietly done the same thing.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a large mass of Fire Clouds burst forth from under Zhou Xilai's feet, expanding rapidly and forming a blazing inferno that protected him while illuminating the surrounding hundred miles of the void.

Meanwhile, Hua Xin Yan had a Six-Eyed Purple Gold Hammer in his hand, all gilded. The six vertical pupils on the hammer blinked, shooting out beams of scorching light, seemingly capable of melting the surrounding void.

"Brother Hua!"

Zhou Xilai called out and quickly moved closer to Hua Xin Yan.

Seeing this, Hua Xin Yan lifted his Magical Treasure Purple Gold Hammer and lightly smashed it down, causing the hammerhead to spray out dozens of molten golden light beams.

The beams of light formed a net of light, intercepting Zhou Xilai.

It was only then that Hua Xin Yan's voice rang out in the air, "Hold on!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xilai exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Hua, can't you see that all of this is a plot by the Mo Family?"

At this moment, Mo Wen Dao suddenly coldly sneered, "Ridiculous! If I had wanted to deal with the Zhou Family, I would have acted long ago. Why would I wait until today!"

"If it weren't for your Zhou Family constantly bewitching the Crown Prince, causing him to lose his mind and commit such a heinous act, why would I end up like this?"

After Mo Wen Dao finished speaking, a sinister and terrible aura emanated from him, causing both Zhou and Hua to take notice.

Zhou Xilai scoffed, "Heh! All old foxes who've lived for hundreds of years, why put on an innocent act here! Everyone knows the intentions of your Mo Family!"

"Heaven may permit some wrongdoings to survive, but those who bring disaster upon themselves cannot live! Planning rebellion is a sin unforgivable by any of the ten evils, and all of it is your Zhou Family's own fault!"

Just after Mo Wen Dao finished speaking, Hua Xin Yan impatiently said, "I don't care whether you are Mo Wen Dao or not, nor if you are human or ghost. Anyone who dares target the Dragon Ball will be beaten to death by me!"

Zhou Xilai's face showed bitterness; he was about to reveal that the Dragon Ball had already been destroyed.

Just then, he suddenly turned his head to look north, his face showing an extremely angry and shocked expression.

Because at that moment, a great fire had suddenly been lit in Zhou City, a hundred miles away, illuminating the night there with its flames.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Xilai, furious and alarmed, now realized that not only was he delaying time, but Mo Wen Dao had the same idea.

But the result was that the Zhou Family was one step behind, allowing the Mo Family to gain the upper hand.

"I will have your life!"

Zhou Xilai, driven by extreme anger, forgot his apprehension towards Mo Wen Dao and the watchful Hua Xin Yan.
Your journey continues on empire

In an instant, he unleashed a boundless Fire Sea. The scorching waves of fire, like a heavenly curtain overturned, roared towards Mo Wen Dao like a mountain collapsing and the sea surging.

In that instant, the surrounding night was ignited, turning patches of white clouds into red.

...

Night fell, and the sky was filled with stars.

Thirty li north of Boiling Spring Valley, in a cave, Zhao Sheng, He Ying, and Bao Yu'er were all sitting with their eyes closed, meditating and waiting for the operation to begin.

The night wind poured into the cave from the entrance, the silent breeze lifting particles of dust from the ground, bringing with it a hint of chill.

At that moment, a streak of light with a long tail flame shot into the cave from outside, instantly illuminating the dark surroundings, before finally entering He Ying's forehead.

He Ying suddenly opened his eyes and flashed a grin, swiftly standing up from the ground.

Seeing the inquiring looks from Zhao Sheng and the others, Old Man He smiled and said, "The Mystic Nether guards have already arrived, the operation is starting ahead of schedule."

"Hehe, these guys are really quick!" A flicker of excitement passed through Bao Yu'er's eyes.

Zhao Sheng was startled, having heard of the formidable reputation of the Mystic Nether guards during his many years in Da Yong.

Similar to the Fire Wolf Army of the Zhou family, the Mystic Nether guards were not only Imperial Guards but also an elite Daoist Soldier Corps.

Also a Daoist Soldier Corps, the Mystic Nether guards were far superior to the Fire Wolf Army, with guards having a minimum cultivation of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining and leaders being at least Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while the chief leader of the Mystic Nether had Golden Core level capabilities.

Moreover, the Mystic Nether guards totaled a full eight hundred men.

To annihilate the Zhou family, even the Mystic Nether guards had been dispatched by the Mo Family, which seemed like using a cleaver to kill a chicken.

It should be noted that the strength of the Zhou family had already been reduced by at least half.

Just in the matter of the coup by the Crown Prince alone, the Zhou family had lost six Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a hundred Qi Refining Clan Members.

Additionally, due to its rapid expansion of influence over the past two years, the Zhou family had had to station multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators across various regions.

Now, with the situation having taken a drastic turn, they were scattered far and wide, not only unable to return in time but also getting sequentially eliminated by the Mo Family cultivators.

Moreover, with one side having prepared in advance and the other caught off guard, it could be said that unless a miracle occurred, the Zhou family's demise was already sealed.

Zhao Sheng followed He Ying out of the cave.

Standing at the entrance and looking northward, he saw the sky a hundred li away illuminated by a blazing heavenly fire, casting a bloody hue.

At the same time, faint sounds of yelling and screaming were carried into Zhao Sheng's ears by the wind.

Bao Yu'er's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! These goddamn Mystic Nether guards, they really never change! Even if they want to steal the credit, this isn't how they should do it. They simply don't see us from the Black Ice Platform as worthy!"

He Ying gave a cold laugh and said, "We from the Black Ice Platform are meant to do the dirty work; the chief leader of the Mystic Nether guards is a senior of the Holy Emperor and also doesn't get along with the Envoy. It's normal that they don't regard us."

While he said this, Zhao Sheng could see a fierce light flashing in He Ying's eyes.

Bao Yu'er asked, "Fourth Master, what should we do now?"

Looking towards the fire over Zhou City, He Ying waved his hand decisively and said, "Let's leave Zhou City to the Mystic Nether guards. We'll head to Boiling Spring Valley."

"But…" Bao Yu'er was very reluctant.

He Ying explained, "Don't worry, we won't come out at a loss! Don't forget that Wushuang is currently lurking in Zhou City. He is of royal blood, closely related to the current Holy Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

Following slightly behind, Zhao Sheng and Bao Yu'er also quickly looked up, turning their gaze toward Boiling Spring Valley.

At that moment, under the star-filled sky, the night over Boiling Spring Valley was suddenly... ignited!

The night was set ablaze, and the sky over Boiling Spring Valley suddenly resounded with several thunderous booms.

From a distance, the fiery night abruptly extinguished for the most part, replaced by a cluster of cold white Cloud Mist. The Cloud Mist, reflecting off the surrounding firelight, shimmered with streaks of silver-white cold light, making it appear like an iceberg standing in the night sky.
