Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 224: All Gathered in Wu Gui City

"Gather all our experts as soon as possible and make haste for Wu Gui City."

Lu Zhanyu’s order was issued rapidly. Faced with Azure Dragon Hall's abnormal behavior, the two actual rulers of the dynasty and sect in the East all made similar decisions.

‘Since Yan Xiaoxiao wants a decisive battle, then a decisive battle it is!’

Something like a decisive battle was absolutely not a loss for the two forces in the East.

The reason was very simple. Their people weren’t afraid of death at all. Death was just a matter of sending a new group of reincarnators here and arranging for the reincarnators who died to do work outside of Immortal Demon World.

But any death in Azure Dragon Hall meant a permanent reduction in their numbers. How can those who fear death beat those who don’t fear death? What's more, Azure Dragon Hall wasn’t even strong enough to win against them.

As for whether Azure Dragon Hall might play some tricks and turn to attack other places, they weren’t afraid of this at all.

As long as the strength in their hands wasn’t damaged, they could retake their lost territory in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t difficult to understand the logic of saving people instead of land so that the saved people could later retake the lost land.

"Y-You can't go there…" A slightly frightened voice sounded. It was the Smiling Gentleman who was shouting loudly at Lu Zhanyu.

At this time, the Smiling Gentleman looked so miserable that he wasn’t even worthy of being called a “Gentleman” anymore.

All the major joints of his body were accurately pierced by 26 bone nails, and his power of law was completely sealed. No matter his body or his soul, none of them could move at all.

This grand Void Cutter powerhouse was currently nailed to a wooden cross like a dead mouse and could only helplessly shout at Lu Zhanyu.

"Oh? Why?" Lu Zhanyu bent down with a smile, looking at the Smiling Gentleman’s profile. "Your Excellency Wang Bomian, the Smiling Gentleman from Starry Ocean Pavilion?"

Smiling Gentleman Wang Bomian’s pupils contracted, and another drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

‘This woman even knows my real name. She’s clearly not not a simple character. It’s just that I don’t know who's behind her and why they would intervene…’

But Wang Bomian knew he couldn’t afford to hesitate.

If he couldn’t give enough valuable information, then this woman who was surrounded by a dangerous aura would definitely kill him without hesitation.

A dead Void Cutter powerhouse wasn’t much different from a dead ordinary person.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Immortal Demon Meeting," Wang Bomian tried to calm his tone and tried to say mysteriously.

He hoped to show his own value, or else Lu Zhanyu would definitely kill him before she left.

"Immortal Demon Meeting?" As expected, Lu Zhanyu revealed an interested look, and her hand movements also paused slightly.

"That's right!" Wang Bomian's voice also rose a little. "This plane is the battlefield of the ancient Immortal Demon War, and it’s also the astral world[1] of an extremely powerful Star Ruler."

"You're talking about the half-immortal, half-demon existence who almost took over Star Realm, right?" Lu Zhanyu seemed to say casually, without any fluctuation in her voice.

She picked up a bottle of medicinal powder in her hand and sprinkled it gently in front of Wang Bomian, where a small array had already been drawn.

Wang Bomian's eyes gradually showed a bit of horror, and his entire body trembled slightly. "W-Who in the world are you?"

"I'm just a trivial small fry." Lu Zhanyu smiled. "Only the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara—a Buddha who became a demon—will be interested in the Immortal Demon Meeting, isn’t that right?"

Wang Bomian was completely speechless. He felt as if he had just escaped from the tiger's jaws only to enter the wolf's den.

But at this time, Lu Zhanyu’s array had already been fully activated, and a blurry, oddly-shaped figure gradually appeared in front of Wang Bomian.

It was a strange flower whose bloody mouth was wide open, its edges lined with sawtooth-shaped barbs.

"At the very least, you were once a Void Cutter cultivator. Can’t let you go to waste.” Lu Zhanyu smiled and said, "Then you can take it from here, Lord Stephen."

After pronouncing the odd-sounding name, Lu Zhanyu turned around and walked away, where a gate was shining faintly with a golden light.

Wang Bomian’s last sentence was full of terror, "Astral Gate… You are…"

……

The mainland’s three major forces were all heading for Wu Gui City in the center of the continent, so without needing another reason, this city soon became the focus of everyone's attention.

Even the people in White Mist involuntarily paid more attention to this place while collecting and confirming information, so there was a lot of information about the central part of the continent.

And it was precisely because of this that a valuable piece of information was dug up.

"Land’s center, Immortal Demon Encounter, souls will return to their place…"

A prophecy that only gave eleven words and looked incomplete still revealed enough information to be taken seriously by Gu Nan.

This sentence came from ten thousand years ago, and even the words it used were barely translated by White Mist. The meanings might not even be correct. And there must be more to the prophecy, but that had already been lost.

But these eleven words had already revealed the most important information—the location!

‘If "land’s center" refers to the center of the continent, then the so-called "Immortal Demon Encounter" is probably what I’m looking for!’

“Wu Gui City?" A smile appeared on Gu Nan’s face, and his figure suddenly vanished.

……

There was a strange atmosphere inside Wu Gui City at this moment because the owner of this city, Ye Chen, who claimed he would build a country belonging to children of destiny, was ignoring his duties a little and doing something else.

"Boss Ye, this is it," a young man stood beside Ye Chen and said, pointing to some ruins in front of him.

He was one of the first children of destiny to follow Ye Chen and could be considered one of Wu Gui City’s higher ups. The reason he came here this time was because something strange appeared in the ruins.

"It's a statue." The young man explained to Ye Chen, "We don't know what it is, but when we looked at it, we felt our hearts tremble in fear."

"Fear?" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He also used to be a child of destiny, so he knew very well that those blessed by fortune should look down upon everything and have no fear. ‘What in the world can make their hearts tremble in fear?’

Step by step, the two walked into the center of the ruins. The young man suppressed his heart's pounding and said instead, "Boss Ye, Azure Dragon Hall’s army will arrive at our city gates tomorrow. What do you…"

"No matter," Ye Chen said without looking back, as if he didn’t take the famous Azure Dragon Hall seriously at all.

And he really wasn’t concerned about them. As someone who was once one of the world’s top Dao Lords, even if his strength hadn’t fully recovered yet, he still had the confidence to face any enemy.

‘A mere Azure Dragon Hall—I alone can sweep away all of their top-level fighters. What's there to fear?’

What he truly cared about was what that shadowless woman said.

‘She’ll probably appear only after I find that item, right?’ Ye Chen subconsciously cast a glance at the sky, his eyes flashing with blurred feelings.

The next moment, he saw the statue his companion mentioned.

It was an odd-looking stone statue, which seemed like two halves of children’s statues had been pieced together, with a girl on the left and a boy on the right—the boy's expression was gentle; the girl’s expression was crazy.
