Unruly

As Hu Mang walked, he asked the question.

"What is this Lord Yama you just mentioned?"

Zhou Yu said, "Among the divine duties of the Prison-Subduing Official, there are records of higher-level divine duties. For example, above the Prison-Subduing Official are the Night-Wandering God, and above the Night-Wandering God are the Yamas of the Ten Courts."

So, this world has even gotten involved in reincarnation? In Heavenly Gate, this, High Antiquity mythology, is considered an urban legend.

Wow, that's pretty impressive, the Azure Mysterious Realm.

The downward passage didn't lead straight to the bottom, but connected with two other passages. After walking for a short while, Hu Mang saw another cave entrance, and footsteps sounded from inside. Soon, two figures emerged from the cave, and one of them's eyes lit up when he saw Hu Mang.

"Who do we have here? It's Brother Hu! I've been so worried about you! I was so concerned when you went missing. I'm so glad you're alright. Was it little girl Zhou Tong who looked for you? I knew it! I told you, Brother Hu, you have a kind heart and would never leave someone to die."

Compared to the enthusiastic Old Chen Sheng, Hu Mang's expression was somewhat strange. In fact, not only him, but also Zhou Tong and his sister had somewhat subtle expressions.

"Brother Chen, what's with your outfit?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask.

After the Prison-Subduing Official's power "canceled" with the Ghost Eye's, he regained most of the emotions he had previously lost.

No wonder he was so surprised. Old Man Chen was wearing a phoenix hairpin in his hair, a bodice, a pleated skirt, and embroidered shoes. He had managed to make four different styles of women's clothing look like four different styles, all very colorful and garish. The worst part was that it looked even worse on this shifty-eyed, heavily made-up old man.

"This outfit of mine is all from my old days when I was traveling the martial arts world. What, doesn't it look good?" Old Chen Sheng didn't seem to care and even struck a few poses like a woman.

It's not a question of whether it's good or bad, it's a question of whether it's even watchable.

Hu Mang silently complained.

Zhou Tong couldn't hold back any longer.

"Grandpa Chen, why are you dressed like this?"

"There's no way around it. I don't have Brother Hu's talent in weaponry, so I was wondering if dressing as a woman would blend in better with the Yin Makeup."

Hu Mang raised an eyebrow. "Yin Makeup, "So this old man really did touch up that female celestial soldier's makeup again." Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head.

From another passage emerged a monster with a human face and a snake's body, along with a man resembling a clerk holding an account book.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. The moment the Beauty Python saw Old Chen Sheng, her cold face contorted with rage, and she looked ready to pounce.

Without saying a word, the old man immediately hid behind Hu Mang and winked at him.

The clerk stopped the Beauty Python from doing so. Old Evil Hu looked Hu Mang up and down, and his gaze fell on the bright silver spear in Hu Mang's hand, causing him to shrink back.

"Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier!"

The golden demon-subduing mark on the Hu Mang's forehead also lit up. It sized up the demon and the human, made a sound, and gave a half-smile.

"Who do we have here? It's the Evil-Subduing Registrar and the Mysterious Dark Water Official. What, don't you know how to address your superiors?"

In this Demon-Subduing City, apart from the Thunder God, all other divine officials are of the same rank. However, even among those of the same rank, there are distinctions of rank. Within the divine dynasty system, military officials have greater authority than civil officials, and dispatched divine officials have greater power than garrisoned divine officials.

Therefore, from any angle, Hu Mang is clearly superior to his opponent.

Upon seeing that there was an additional Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier on the other side, and that this Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier's divine authority was clearly superior to his own, Old Evil Hu's face immediately stiffened. After a long while, he managed to force a smile.

"So you are the Devil-Subduing General! I've long admired your name."

The Hu Mang gave the other person a half-smile, then turned its gaze to the Beauty Python. Its dim, demonic eyes stared at the other person until a bead of cold sweat trickled down her snow-white forehead. Only then did it smile, turn around, and walk down.

The Beauty Python is not one of the protected Demon Beast of the Heavenly Gate.

Because Heavenly Gate doesn't have this thing at all!

It's true that with enough Spiritual Qi, anything can grow.

The Beauty Python was quite surprised to be stared at by the other party's demonic eyes.

Are they the same kind?

With Hu Mang backing him up, Old Chen immediately became more confident and assertive, especially since they also had two Prison-Subduing Official on their side.

Of the four strongest divine officials in the Demon-Subduing City, they had two on their side. So, when Old Chen looked around, he exuded an aura of dominance, as if he had no equal in the world, and his arrogance grew.

However, when he entered the fourth floor and saw Zhen'ezi, who had already transformed into a physical form, and a certain unique aura, his eyes widened again, and he blurted out.

"Ghost Immortal!?"

By the way, according to the information Zhou Yu obtained from the divine office, the prerequisite for becoming the Lord Yama is being Ghost Immortal.

And the Hu Mang finally met the person in question.

In fact, upon seeing the charred wooden puppet sitting next to him, he knew who the young cultivator opposite him was.

Old Evil Hu was still somewhat puzzled. He had assumed that the passage had been opened by the Prison-Subduing Official, but after seeing the Gourd Daoist, he became even more confused.

Ghost Immortal?

The Hu Mang took a deep breath, its fox eyes narrowing into two thin slits, from which only a faint, demonic light emanated.

Regardless of whether the other party was a low-end version, a flawed version, or an unascended version, Hu Mang once again encountered something he had never seen before in the Heavenly Gate.

Theoretically speaking, Ghost Immortal is higher than Void Refinement.

Zhen'ezi smiled, about to say something, when suddenly his expression changed, and his smile deepened.

Suddenly, rolling black clouds emerged from the Hu Mang's body. Without even using the Immortal Weapon Shattering Thunder, the rolling black clouds and lightning overflowed from its body and quickly covered the entire fourth level.

Whether it was Zhou Yu, Chen Sheng, or even Old Evil Hu and Beauty Python beside them, they all felt a strong sense of dread, as if they were facing the calamity clouds in the sky.

Meanwhile, an increasingly loud rumble of thunder rose from the dark clouds.

Those with profound divine authority are capable of controlling the celestial phenomena of this realm.

The dark clouds rose upwards, transforming into a tornado over ten zhang long. Golden lightning continuously flashed from the thunderclouds, each flash seeming as if a golden Heavenly Eye was peering down upon all living beings.

This move incorporated all of Hu Mang's cultivation insights gained upon entering the Demon-Subduing City. The next moment, as daylight filled the world, everyone's vision blurred, and burning tears streamed down their faces.

When they came to their senses, they saw that Hu Mang had already sat down opposite Zhen'ezi, and neither of them showed any signs of injury.

"What are you doing, fellow Daoist?" Zhen'ezi asked with a smile.

"You're asking for it," Hu Mang said bluntly.

If you don't dare to draw your sword against enemies of a higher level, how can you have the courage to step into a higher realm?

Or, to put it another way, how do we have the courage to overcome even higher-level challenges?

Of course, this view does not align with the cultivation philosophy of Heavenly Gate, and most likely it also does not align with the cultivation philosophy of the Azure Mysterious Realm.

This wasn't Hu Mang's own idea; it was Boss Gu's exact words during a conversation.

Hu Mang's assessment at the time was. "Commendable courage, but courting death!"

Now he's courting death.

It can only be said that people who are not of the same ilk will not enter the same door. There is a reason why some people can get along together.

But there was nothing he could do; he was just too curious about Ghost Immortal and immortals.

The test results were also very clear and straightforward.

In front of the other party, I can't even open my "Heavenly Eye".

The opponent's "Heavenly Secrets Evolution" was simply too powerful; his entire being was a small world in itself.

Since it is a microcosm in itself, it cannot open its Heavenly Eye unless others allow it.

Unless you risk opening the Dragon Eye yourself.

But that's unnecessary. It's not like we're really going to fight. Besides, not every righteous person is a hot-tempered guy.

After all, it's the right path, Hu Mang couldn't believe he was so unlucky.

If they're really that unlucky, the other side should probably change their name to "The Demonic Path."

As expected, the other party did not take Hu Mang's offense to heart; on the contrary, his eyes showed even more admiration.

"Although the divine calling is not the orthodox path of cultivation today, gaining the recognition of the divine calling is an ability in itself, especially here."

Rogue Person Yunxiu laughed and said, "Defying fate, usurping the work of heaven, daring to seize creation from the heavens; conforming to the natural order to become human, defying the natural order to become immortal, unafraid of the changing seasons and the passing of time."

Another cultured person.

Hu Mang sighed.

"I am Zhen'ezi of the Thunder Sect, greetings to all fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Even the Old Chen Sheng, who was known for his carefree wanderings in the martial world, gaped wide-eyed, not to mention the rogue Rogue Cultivator present.

Even the Beauty Python couldn't help but lower its head slightly at this moment.

The prestige of the Seven Sects of the Righteous Path is self-evident.

Only Hu Mang was present, still immersed in the imagery of the poem.

Rogue Person Yunxiu was satisfied with the reactions of everyone present, and continued, "I have invited you all here today because I need your help with something, not only to help us, but also to help you all save yourselves."

Then, Rogue Person Yunxiu recounted the situation in the Demon-Subduing City, omitting some important information, such as the fragments of the Five Thunders Devil-Subduing Great General's consciousness. He emphasized that this false god was extraordinary, with at least five Thunder God incarnations. If the false god wasn't suppressed before its main body emerged, the situation would be hopeless.

Then Zhen'ezi displayed his sect token, which, once activated, evolved into a unique Thunder Dao evolution belonging to the Thunder Sect.

Upon seeing the token, the Old Evil Hu had no more doubts and was practically bowing down in worship.

There was no other way; he had originally intended to escape, but the current situation was that if this false god could not be suppressed, no one could leave this place.

No wonder that Thunder God's Shrine couldn't be destroyed before.

With the power of five Thunder God suppressing it, even the most dilapidated Thunder God's Shrine is indestructible.

After some hesitation, the Beauty Python also chose to submit.

The Demon Race is in a weak position in the Azure Mysterious Realm and has little say. Compared to the demonic path's ruthless exploitation, the righteous path is at least more reasonable, at most engaging in species discrimination.

Next, Zhen'ezi turned his attention to Hu Mang. Among those present, only Hu Mang showed no change in his attitude towards the Thunder Sect's identity.

Zhen'ezi had some understanding of this person's temperament; indeed, as Rogue Person Yunxiu had said, he was somewhat unruly.
