Slaying Demons and Fiends, Winning Heaven and Earth's Favor

The Xie Household's house was deathly silent.

Everyone's brows furrowed.

Should we comply with the demands of the Alliance of Immortals?

An old man said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, those extraterrestrials are wolves in sheep's clothing. If we give in just because of the Yu Tunzhou, we may suffer a backlash in the future."

"Patriarch, the Alliance of Immortals is a mixed bag. If we allow them to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, it will be detrimental to the Xie Household. While we must eliminate Yu Tunzhou, there's no need to provoke these other people."

"Hmph, those guys actually want to share the throne with my Xie Household! They're clearly trying to usurp our place!"

"A mere Yu Tunzhou, even with some strength, how could it possibly rival the Xie Household's millennia-long accumulation? It would be better to wait for the array spirit to revive, and then ask the Ancestor Shanyin for help. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Once one person spoke, the crowd echoed their sentiments, and the discussion gradually grew noisy.

Most people disagreed with joining the Alliance of Immortals because their demands were simply too unreasonable.

Regardless of what they say.

Xie Tao's expression remained cold and hard as iron.

The fact that the Immortal Ancestor could not be contacted was not made public within the clan; only he and a few core clan elders knew about it.

These guys have no idea how important Yu Tunzhou is to the Xie Household.

According to his deductions with several clan elders, the Immortal Ancestor was most likely assassinated by a powerful figure of the same level.

The most suspicious are the Daode Lineage that severed the incarnation of the Immortal Ancestor in the Heavenly Court, followed by the other Dao Lord.

Regardless of the truth, only by capturing Yu Tunzhou can we follow the clues and seize the initiative.

That's enough.

Xie Tao's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out all the noise.

He swept his gaze across the assembled crowd, his eyes like a deep well. " In the Dingbei City, Zhang Jiuyuan, the Taishang Elder of the Northern Mysterious Sect in the lower realm, also perished. According to the array spirit, he didn't even last three breaths."

The entire room changed color.

Although Zhang Jiuyuan cultivated the Immortal Dao, he was ultimately at the Peak External Scenery. What do you mean he didn't even last three breaths?

The Yu Tunzhou attack, at its Peak External Scenery, was accomplished in just three breaths?!

"This child—has he already broken through to the Dharma Aspect?" someone said in a hoarse voice.

"Impossible! He's only a few years old! Not even twenty yet! It must be that divine weapon!" someone exclaimed.

Xie Tao's gaze was sharp as a knife. "This boy has only cultivated for a few years, yet he already possesses the strength to fight Grandmaster head-on. Most importantly, his advancement speed is remarkable. Give him another year or two, and even the Ancestor Shanhe might not be his match."

"The Alliance of Immortals is certainly untrustworthy, but eliminating Yu Tunzhou is even more urgent!"

"Since our clan is unwilling to bear any more losses, then let's use someone else to do the dirty work and let the Alliance of Immortals take the blame for us."

The crowd exchanged glances, but no one dared to object; they had all grasped the speaker's meaning.

Yu Tunzhou's strength has reached a point where only the Ancestor Shanhe can suppress him!

Is this an attempt to weaken the Alliance of Immortals by using Yu Tunzhou" tactic, a classic case of using one wolf to devour another?

only--

An old man hesitated and said, "The Alliance of Immortals might not be as we wish, and they might not be at our beck and call. They're full of old monsters."

As far as they knew, the number of remnant immortal Immortals and Gods within the Alliance of Immortals exceeded two hands' worth!

Those who can achieve Immortals and Gods in the mortal realm or beyond are all cunning and ruthless.

"Just remnant souls. Even if they possess the original owner's memories, they're not at their peak anymore," Xie Tao said coldly. "Besides, they will make their move. Do you think we, the Xie Household, are the only ones who oppose the Daode Lineage?"

"Taking down Yu Tunzhou is the real purpose of this trip for some of the old monsters inside."

Xie Tao stood up and stood in front of the map of mountains and rivers. The map showed that the Northern Plains plains were vast, with the earth's veins winding and connecting like dragons and snakes, almost forming a single whole.

Only a few cities remain.

Suddenly, a node on the map that had been lit up slowly went out.

"This is----"

The Xie Lineage elder standing nearby exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Tao's expression grew increasingly icy.

He immediately gave the order, his voice completely calm. "Send men to Dingbei City at once to collect Zhang Jiuyuan's body and send it to the Alliance of Immortals. What those old monsters crave most right now is the physical body of Grandmaster like him."

"Tell them that Yu Tunzhou, the successor of the Daode Lineage, has entered the Northern Plains!"

The Yu Tunzhou hangs suspended above the city.

The grand formation that enveloped the entire city was shattered by his attack.

He was carrying the old man with the sword in his hand, and at his feet was another External Scenery cultivator who had fled here and collapsed in despair, as well as an External Scenery expert stationed in the city.

The latter, staring at the shattered formation, suppressed his shock and said with a fierce but weak voice, "Yu Tunzhou, this is a city protected by my Xie Household. What exactly do you intend to do by breaking through the formation and attacking the city? I advise you not to make a mistake!"

Yu Tunzhou temporarily ignored the shouts from below.

He was suspended in mid-air.

On his way here, he had a faint feeling of warmth coming from all directions, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silently blessing him.

This feeling was both familiar and strange to him.

Similar to being blessed with good fortune, but it is not simply a matter of luck.

More like----

Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person?

Yu Tunzhou, focusing its mind and senses, its Primordial Spirit merging with heaven and earth.

That warmth was all-pervasive, seeping into his limbs and bones from between heaven and earth, slowly merging with his Primordial Spirit and Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth.

The legal principles he could perceive became increasingly active.

It was as if the entire world was tilting towards him, transcending the realm of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, and more like "heaven and earth bestowing their favor."

"Could it be that I destroyed this great formation?"

Yu Tunzhou glanced down, but quickly rejected the idea.

Because, as he recalled it now, this feeling seemed to have appeared during the battle with the Golden Crow Formation Spirit, though it was initially very faint.

The precise timing should be after killing that lower-realm cultivator surnamed Zhang!

"Will killing those cultivators from the lower realms earn you the favor of Heaven and Earth?"

Yu Tunzhou aback.

He carefully considered and traced the source of this favor, discovering that a part of the Unseen seemed to originate from—

The Three Rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

"Human Dao Fortune?"

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself.

His current state is far superior to the favorable fortune he received when he was in the Divine Ability Realm, and even more so to the state of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person.

The Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person is when a martial artist uses their own energy to harmonize with the heavens and earth, thereby borrowing the power of the world, just as a stream flows into a great river.

But the heavens and earth bestowed their favor, and the great river voluntarily split off a tributary to feed the stream.

In this state, even the speed at which his Primordial Spirit Spirit Aspect his Inner Heaven and Earth accelerated.

"Could this be... a reward from Heaven and Earth?" Huntian suddenly asked in confusion, "Could it be that the Immortal Dao cultivator from earlier was marked as a 'demon' by the Heavenly Dao of the Central Plains?"

Yu Tunzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What does this mean?"

Huntian cautiously said, "To this day, the Human Dao is firmly imprinted in the Central Plains, which is one of the greatest achievements of the Human Emperor."

"Under these circumstances, any outsider who does not belong to the Central Plains could be labeled a 'demon.'"

Those who slay demons will be rewarded by Heaven and Earth.

Yu Tunzhou asked doubtfully, "This man surnamed Zhang, isn't Human Race?"

"They are Human Race, but not within the scope of the Central Plains Human Dao ' human way." The Chaotic Heavenly Dao, "is also among the demons. Those who come from the lower realms, unless they go through legitimate channels, like ascension, to gain recognition from the Central Plains Heavenly Dao ' Heavenly Dao, are all considered smugglers," and are categorized as demons invading the Central Plains.

"However, the fact that such a thing could happen suggests that the Great Dao of the Central Plains is indeed reviving."

Huntian suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Xuandu Du, what a great opportunity! The Great Dao of the Central Plains is reviving, and we've also caught up with visitors from beyond the heavens and the lower realms. This is the perfect time to vie for the favor of Heaven and Earth and lay the foundation for gaining an advantage in the Great Dao in the future!"

Yu Tunzhou understood immediately. He couldn't help but guess. "Sect Master Yan and the Shaolin monk Liaose have both killed a Immortals and Gods from beyond the heavens. They must have already sensed the changes the Unseen."

"In that case----"

He suddenly laughed and said, "There's no need to worry too much."

"Once the news spreads, those who have been committing evil deeds in the Central Plains will be eagerly targeted and dealt with."

In this world, righteousness ultimately doesn't move people as much as self-interest.

Moreover, this is something that is helpful for spiritual practice.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is simply our duty."

Upon hearing this, Huntian coughed lightly. "Fellow Daoist, forget about demons. Humans and demons are one family, both worshipping Emperor Wa as the Mother of All Primordial Beings."

Yu Tunzhou remains silent, and does not argue with Huntian about this issue.

He looked up and roughly understood the source of this favor.

This man surnamed Zhang claimed to be a high-ranking Daoist School, yet he used the lives of all living beings as resources for his cultivation. Such behavior hardly befits Daoist School cultivator, and he was burdened with karmic debts. By killing him, I was essentially acting on behalf of Heaven, and thus received a "gift from the Unseen."

Thinking of this, Yu Tunzhou felt a pang of regret.

In the Heavenly Court, he triggered a Heavenly Thunder Array to kill over a hundred External Scenery experts; this achievement was essentially wasted.

"Among this favor from heaven and earth, there is actually one of the Three Rankings— " Yu Tunzhou whispered, "It seems that the Three Rankings left by the Human Emperor are deeply connected with the Central Plains. An Ruyu obtained the method to control the Three Rankings in the Eastern Wilderness, and also obtained something in Jade Pool. What is this woman's next step—could it be the Human Dao Fortune of the Great Yan?"

He gradually regained his composure and his gaze returned to the city wall.

Let's put the matter of that demoness aside for now.

The Xie Household set up a grand formation with the Northern Plains vein as its core, and even allied with "demons" from beyond the heavens to plot their great cause in the Central Plains.

If Heaven and Earth truly intend to "slay demons and eliminate evil," then he has even less reason to hold back on this trip to the Northern Plains.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze fell upon it.

Sensing his gaze, the External Scenery fierce but inwardly weak guard panicked. He had already secretly contacted his clan, but had not received a response.

The Immortals and Gods set up by the clan can be deployed to any location in the Northern Plains within ten breaths by the array spirit!

But this person broke the formation well over ten breaths ago, so why hasn't the Golden Crow Formation Spirit arrived yet?!

Seeing Yu Tunzhou looking at him, he forced himself to say, "Yu Tunzhou! My Xie Household knew you were coming. I have already sent word to the clan, and experts will arrive to help in no time—"

"Noisy."

Yu Tunzhou had no time to waste words with this person.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the old man in his hand struck the man like a cannonball.

The latter had no time to react; a powerful expert at the External Scenery realm was instantly stunned by the astonishing force.

As soon as Yu Tunzhou landed, he reached out and grabbed the man, using his Nature Cultivation of Nature-Seeing Heaven to suppress his Primordial Spirit.

As expected, this person also had protective barriers in his Niwan Palace.

A thought struck him, and he released the Rogue Immortal Youyin from the Niwan Palace.

This person is Ghost Immortal immortal who has attained enlightenment, specializing in the primordial Primordial Spirit. He is quite skilled in breaking through restrictions.

A short while later, the man trembled, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was completely different, filled with a hint of flattery and respect. "True Person, this person is named Xie Huashuang, with a cultivation level of the External Scenery First Layer. He is the garrison commander of the Northern Plains Xie Household in this area."

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "Does he know about the Northern Plains Grand Formation?"

"Reporting to the True Person, the Northern Plains Grand Formation was built by the Xie Household using the Northern Plains veins. The nodes are mostly cities. This person doesn't have much information, but I found a map of mountains and rivers in his memory—it should be the layout of the core of the grand formation!"

"Oh?" Yu Tunzhou smiled. "Very good. Send me the map of mountains and rivers."

"True Person!"

The two mortals who witnessed this External Scenery were terrified.

Those who can go to the External Scenery must at least be in Pure Land for cultivating their Nature Cultivation. Even if Heavenly Demon from beyond the heavens wants to invade, it must find the right opportunity.

Not to mention the Xie Household, a powerful and long-standing clan of immortals Immortals and Gods, who place far greater emphasis on the Primordial Spirit Rogue Cultivator.

But this person----

In the blink of an eye, it took over Xie Huashuang's body and even invaded her Primordial Spirit, gaining control of all of Xie Huashuang's memories—such methods are practically the legendary Ghost Immortal's path of specializing in the primordial Primordial Spirit!

A map of mountains and rivers slowly appeared before Yu Tunzhou's eyes, clearly marking the locations of each node of the great formation.

Everything is clearly visible.

"The core lies in the various county towns."

Yu Tunzhou glanced at the array and immediately grasped the key point. He then asked again, "How can we determine if the nodes of the great formation have been completely destroyed?"

The Rogue Immortal Youyin quickly replied, "Each node has been equipped with an array platform; we only need to destroy the platforms."

Yu Tunzhou looked up, his Primordial Spirit flowing like water, and found the "array platform" mentioned by Youyin.

With a thought, the array platform shattered.

"That's simple."

Suddenly, Yu Tunzhou sensed that the divine favor the Unseen seemed to have intensified.

This Northern Plains Dai—this demonic formation is indeed the source of all chaos!

He looked at the map of mountains and rivers in front of him.

Next, it's a race against time.

In today's world, for any top power, a supreme expert is something to be wary of, but not something to fear. What is truly frightening is the latter's unbridled and unrestricted nature.

While he couldn't travel a thousand miles in the blink of an eye like the Golden Crow Formation Spirit, his speed was more than enough to travel back and forth between the various county cities!

The closest point between the two prefecture cities is probably only a hundred miles away. If the route is right, he can break through four or five important nodes within an hour!

Yu Tunzhou kept track of the time in his mind. In addition to breaking the formation, he also needed to suppress the Golden Crow Formation Spirit every hour.

He seized the initiative last time, and with the help of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, things might not be so easy next time.

However, with the Vajra Bracelet present, the opponent's fire magic was still rendered useless, effectively crippling one of their arms.

We also need to be wary of reinforcements from the Xie Household.

In a situation where he only attacks and doesn't defend, considering that he can't continue fighting the Golden Crow Formation Spirit indefinitely and needs to rest—Comprehensive 2

The rotation will take at most a few days!

He could completely overturn the situation that the Xie Household had built up over many years!

After considering his options, Yu Tunzhou turned his gaze to the remaining two External Scenery cultivators.

He too is burdened by karma, just like that man surnamed Zhang.

Yu Tunzhou frowned slightly. Why were all these cultivators from the lower realms and beyond the heavens burdened with karmic debts?

It's clearly the Immortal Dao cultivation!

He had also seen many martial artists from the Central Plains, such as Xie Huashuang, the elder of the Xie Household's External Scenery realm, whose karmic burdens were far less heavy than those of the two men.

He speculated that this might be determined by the cultivation methods in the lower realms and beyond.

He couldn't help but ask, "What do you rely on for sustenance when you cultivate in the mortal realm?"

Suddenly, he paused, then said calmly, "Never Youyin, Youyin, take a look at me."

"By the decree of the True Person," Xie Huashuang suddenly collapsed to the ground and fell silent.

The old man who wielded the sword suddenly changed his expression, his whole body trembled, and the next moment his face changed completely.

"----Reporting to the True Person, this person's name is Zou Yuan, from the Crimson Rosy Cloud Realm, which is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Mysterious Sect. They use pills like the Clear Heart Pill to aid their cultivation. This pill gathers innate Qi and innate spirit, but due to the great changes in the world and the scarcity of resources, it can only be obtained from people."

"Select from among the people?"

Youyin explained, "Every Human Race is born with a small amount of innate energy and innate spirit."

Yu Tunzhou looked deeply and said, "No wonder."

Qin Lie on the other side was already terrified out of his wits. He opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but his voice suddenly stopped.

Yu Tunzhou withdrew his hand, letting the man's body fall to the ground.

As another elderly swordsman fell...

Yu Tunzhou had already made his judgment.

Just as Huntian had predicted.

This is truly a blessing from heaven and earth, a reward for "slaying demons and eliminating evil."

Under the favor of heaven and earth, the speed at which one's primordial Primordial Spirit Spirit Aspect the Inner Heaven and Earth has accelerated considerably.

Thus, the move to the External Scenery Third Layer will be brought forward.

"My True Person, I humbly beg you, may I possess this body and remain by your side, at your command, to serve you?"

Youyin smile played on her lips, tinged with a hint of trepidation.

Yu Tunzhou glanced at him. "I just discovered that killing you extraterrestrial visitors will earn me the favor of this world. What do you suggest I do?"

The Youyin suddenly changed color, the old man's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, while the Youyin had already taken the initiative to escape into the Niwan Palace the Yu Tunzhou Boat.

"---- True Person, I was out of my mind just now----"

Yu Tunzhou had already risen from the ground, its figure flashing out like a startled swan, heading directly towards the nearest county town.

More than three hundred li.

The image of Yu Tunzhou is no longer far off.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The outline of Dingxiang Commandery gradually appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

The Yu Tunzhou without concealing its form.

He was incredibly fast, swooping down from the clouds.

"Who?!"

The city seemed to have been alerted beforehand, as an External Scenery guard was stationed there. At that moment, a furious roar erupted, "Remnants of the Tuoba Household?"

Dingxiang Tuoba----

Yu Tunzhou sighed softly to himself.

When he impersonated a member of the Luo Household to enter the Human Emperor Grotto-Heaven in the past, he bore some of the karma and had become an enemy of a woman from the Tuoba Household.

Today, the entire Tuoba Household has been wiped out by the Xie Household, with only a few members remaining who have fled.

Even a Aristocratic Clan from the Northern Plains that had taken in more than a dozen members of the Tuoba Household was completely eradicated by the Xie Household.

Such methods are far too domineering.

The Yu Tunzhou, raising its hand.

A punch landed.

A resounding, booming sound echoed through the air.

With a single punch, the protective array that enveloped the entire county city actually developed dense cracks!

The guard below was horrified and incredulous, exclaiming, "You are—you are—"

Yu Tunzhou narrowed his eyes.

Okay.

The city-level formation was indeed far superior to the defensive formation of the county town.

It actually requires----

The second punch.

"Boom!"

The protective array above Dingxiang Commandery, powerful enough to keep even Grandmaster out for a short time, could no longer withstand the force of the fist that could shatter mountains and break through peaks, and it shattered completely!

The External Scenery on the city wall, bathed in a shower of shattered light, had no time to react; it felt as if a mountain had crushed it.

from head to foot.

The Yu Tunzhou, landing in the city atop a shower of shattered light.

His blue robe fluttered in the breeze, yet he remained calm and composed.

In the city.

Disguised as a beggar, Tuoba Yu looked up and stared blankly into the distance.

It was as if I saw a divine being in green robes descending from the heavens.

He pressed down with both fists.

The world is clear and bright.

The entire city, a million living beings, all looked up, all fell silent.

This person alone possessed Martial Intention that soared to the heavens, acting lawlessly and recklessly.

His domineering manner was so great that you could hear a pin drop in the entire Dingxiang Commandery, yet no one dared to move or speak out.
