Coming to the Door, Catching Them All in One Net!

The talisman shattered completely after a few turns, revealing the clear Karma connections within it.

With a single Divine Eye, Qiu Yan clarified the Karma. Then, with a flick of his finger, this Karma was reorganized, manifesting a route connecting to the Mountain Underworld Office.

Outside, the entire Stove Mountain was enveloped by a rich Humanistic Divine Power, cutting it off from the outside world. Lightning could be faintly seen flashing, and the Divine Sense for help sent by Yunshang God was intercepted and destroyed before it could even be transmitted.

Having done all this, Qiu Yan moved his feet and cast his gaze out of the palace, landing on a spot on Stove Mountain.

"The Humanistic Divine Path has been established, and it should be continuously improved in the future. All things related to Human Path should be incorporated into it to make it more and more perfect."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the entire Stove Mountain began to shake. At the summit of Stove Mountain, there was a large hole that ran through the mountain, from which flames flickered and deep within lay the Black Abyss Heavy Water, all of which were now trembling.

Then, flames rose and surged forth— the Human Path Flame that had condensed in Wuxin City!

Flames, like dragons, snaked through the air before hurtling towards Qiu Yan, pouring into his Divine Body. Within his Divine Power Space, they trembled and merged with the Humanistic Fire Seed from the Land of the Divine Remains of the remnants!

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled from the Subordinate Deity body, and from the Core Talisman, a sun-like light shone forth, seemingly capable of distorting space and time and shaking the universe!

Then, an invisible pressure emanated from Qiu Yan, causing his robes to flutter and spreading throughout the palace. The demons, led by the golden-haired man, were affected by this pressure and immediately trembled like leaves, feeling as if they were being pressed down and unable to move!

In their eyes, Qiu Yan's figure shifted and twisted, creating all sorts of illusions, unlike a single person, but rather like a high mountain, a long river, and stars!

They were subjected to double oppression, both physically and mentally. If Qiu Yan hadn't infused them with vital Qi and Blood, they would have been unable to endure it at all!

Even so, after a few breaths, some demons were still on the verge of collapsing. Their willpower, which had not yet broken down despite repeated torture, was showing signs of crumbling, and they were about to reveal their true forms.

Demons who have achieved mastery in cultivation will not easily reveal their true form. This is similar to how they alter their physical structure. Even if they are unconscious or lose consciousness, they may not reveal their true form unless they suffer severe physical and Divine Striking, which would cause their demonic bodies to exhibit a tendency towards ancestral reversion.

At this critical moment, Qiu Yan's imposing aura instantly subsided, and the aura that was about to break through the barrier dissipated from his body.

"It's not the right time yet. We lack the foundation and experience. Most importantly, once we break through that barrier, there won't be a suitable time to plan for Donghua..."

On the other side, the demons were panting heavily. After the previous heavy pressure, the Qi and Blood and qi that had been integrated into their bodies had been tempered and, together with the potential of their demonic bodies, had been integrated into their muscles, bones, and skin, allowing their injuries and vitality to recover considerably.

In that instant, they understood.

"So it turns out that the master used external force to help us clear our chest congestion and condense the parts of the external Qi and Blood and qi that are incompatible with our own constitution."

This condensation helps to eliminate impurities, but it is not a panacea. The Qi and Blood that Qiu Yan transformed with divine power is ultimately subject to external forces and contains impurities, which will affect the future cultivation of demons.

But they were all on the verge of death before, and if they didn't do this, a demon would die. In other words, in a crisis, one must act expediently and prioritize tasks.

On the other side, Qiu Yan's gray robe billowed and gradually subsided. He then turned to the golden-haired man and the others and Human Path, "Tear down this palace and wait for me on the mountaintop..." His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if a star was dancing within them, and then he was about to leave.

The blond giant stepped forward and said, "So that you may know, sir, not long after you left, deities invaded. The lord of Panluo Mountain was captured by them, and not long ago they even took the talisman, turned him back to his original form, and imprisoned him in the Prison God’s Netherworld Prison! As for Lord Lingxiu, his whereabouts are unknown, his fate is uncertain, as are several other lords..."

"Huang Jue was treated like this?" A cold glint flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes. "Even the Prison God was involved? Very well!"

The so-called Panluo Lord and Lingxiu Lord refer to Huang Jue, the Panluo Mountain God, Bai Shi, the Lixiu Mountain. Because demons cannot call them by their names directly, they are referred to as "Lord".

Finally, the blond-haired giant said, "Also, after the master left, Miss Ao said she would find someone to bring him back. Before she left, she instructed her subordinates to pass on this information to you if the master returned on his own."

"Ao Ling?" Qiu Yan nodded. "I've remembered these things, and I'll definitely seek justice." With that, he vanished from the spot.

Staring at the empty throne, the demons were stunned for a moment. Finally, they looked at each other and saw shock and joy in each other's eyes, as if in a dream.

"We thought we were doomed, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better! We are loyal and righteous, and the master will certainly not treat us unfairly!"

"What level of cultivation do you think the master has reached? Is he as powerful as that Mountain Envoy?"

"That's hard to say, but don't you know why our master left? According to Miss Ao Ling, the one who attacked was a Star Lord, a giant who ruled over a Continent!"

"Indeed, our master was able to exchange blows with the Star Lord and return unscathed. Isn't that even more formidable? Look at that Yunshang God, he once swept across the mountains and valleys, suppressed Lord Panluo, and forced Lord Lingxiu to leave. He seemed invincible and unparalleled in the world, but in front of our master, he couldn't even withstand a single move!"

"Judging from Yunshang's appearance, he may have been utterly annihilated. And what did the master say earlier? Was he going to go and cause trouble for that Mountain Envoy?"

"It can't be that bad. The Mountain Envoy sounds like a big shot, and our master is a big shot too. Would people like that fight openly? They'll probably go through a roundabout way, testing each other, and eventually compromise, right?"

As Qiu Yan left, the atmosphere in the palace gradually relaxed. The demons who had escaped their cages and torment began to talk, their words filled with a sense of relief at having survived a calamity. When they mentioned Yunshang God, they were filled with hatred, and when they said that his soul had been scattered, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure.

As a result, he also developed a growing sense of awe and respect for Qiu Yan.

However, after they said a few words, the blond giant suddenly rebuked them, forbidding them from speaking ill of their lord. This silenced many of them, and they obeyed the order to dismantle the palace.

The palace was already on the verge of collapse after the battle.

However, though they didn't say it aloud, all the demons, including the golden-haired giant, were still very curious about Qiu Yan's whereabouts.

The thoughts of the demons became a thread of hope, settling in Qiu Yan's heart, allowing him to understand their minds.

"Human hearts are like demons, treacherous and unpredictable. After being enlightened, demons also develop thoughts similar to humans... no..."

The Divine Body flew at breakneck speed, weaving through the mud without any hindrance. Suddenly, a Divine Radiance flashed from the depths, and a celestial general clad in armor appeared before him, proclaiming, "Halt! This is the Mountain Underworld Office. State your name, you who come..."

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of divine Divine Radiance shot out and pinned him to the spot!

Qiu Yan remained completely unmoved, still pondering the question.

"No, rather than saying that demons become similar to humans after they become spirits, it's more accurate to say that their thoughts are inherently like this; however varied, there are still underlying patterns..."

In the blink of an eye, several more beams of light flashed ahead, and numerous Celestial Soldiers and warriors appeared, trying to block Qiu Yan's progress. However, Qiu Yan simply turned his Divine Body and passed by them. But they did not give up and gathered from all directions through the soil!

Within the entire cross-section of the soil, centered on Qiu Yan, a large number of soldiers were charging towards him.

"With your fighting strength, coming out is just suicide. I have no need to kill you to show off my strength, so go!" Qiu Yan said softly, flicked his sleeve, and the Humanistic Divine Power roared out, turning into individual characters that arranged to form a Daoism article. It was quiet and inactive, and scattered out, blending with the surrounding soil and Earth Veins.

The next moment, the soldiers' consciousness went blank, and they all stopped moving.

Whoosh!

Qiu Yan did not linger, but walked straight through. In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the Underworld Main Hall. From afar, he could see the Yang Qi rising and falling within it. The huge palace was half solid and half illusory, existing between the two realms.

At this moment, outside the palace, deities were scattered everywhere, activating their respective Domain of Law, which spread out and combined with the aura of the entire Underworld Office to form a net that stretched from heaven to earth. Qiu Yan's location was also surrounded, and an invisible pressure enveloped him, about to suppress and seal him!

Although these deities are of different ranks and radiate different divine power, their Divine Office are quite similar. Once their divine power is activated, it merges into a net with few flaws, and their auras are connected. Under the stimulation of the Underworld Main Hall, it bursts out with astonishing pressure!

"Min Yuan!"

At this moment, a deep, majestic voice emanated from the palace. Under the watchful Divine Eye, the Mountain Envoy slowly stepped out, his azure divine Divine Radiance standing out from the crowd.

The gods spontaneously made way for him, which was quite impressive.

Taking a few steps forward, the Mountain Envoy coldly stared at Qiu Yan, raised his hand in a grabbing motion, and activated his formation to completely suppress him. "You've got the road to heaven but you refuse to take it, you've barged into the gates of hell! You blocked Yunshang God's Divine Sense for help earlier, probably trying to take advantage of the chaos and pull off some trick, right? Unfortunately, I won't give you that chance!"

The surrounding deities had long since become accustomed to this and remained indifferent. In recent days, whenever the Mountain Envoy personally took action, the opponent's fate was always extremely miserable. Therefore, their gazes towards Qiu Yan were not without a hint of pity, but also a touch of schadenfreude.

These deities were also vaguely aware of Qiu Yan's reputation, and dared not wait any longer. Knowing that Qiu Yan was coming, they set up a formation, using the power of the entire Underworld Office to suppress Qiu Yan, and then had the Mountain Envoy action to capture Qiu Yan in one fell swoop.

However, even though the formation was set up, the gods took pity on Qiu Yan, and the Mountain Envoy made his move, Qiu Yan's side remained completely still.

"Hmm?" The Mountain Envoy's eyelids twitched slightly.

Qiu Yan then said, "When I returned, thunder pierced the heavens and earth; why would I need to hide? The blocking of my Divine Sense for help was merely incidental. The real purpose of sealing off Stove Mountain was to prevent you from seeing certain sights and scattering, thus depriving me of the opportunity to capture you all in one fell swoop."
