If it’s not the Chen Dynasty, then what is it?
Liang Xiao didn’t know and was very curious.
Wuhua smiled faintly and said, “The poor monk doesn’t know either and is just waiting to see.”
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Liang Xiao’s life had returned to normal.
The mobilization had already been carried out, but the war had not yet arrived.
Everything quietly passed in a state of calm yet not calm.
Guo Bei was under martial law, forbidding entry and exit, which caused unrest among the surrounding areas, but it quickly returned to silence.
The rituals had become routine, and although the offerings were abundant and the expenses were vast, with the foundation of the Guo Bei Academy, they could fully support it, and the common people had no complaints.
Just like that, forty-nine days passed, and it was the thirty-third day.
Mount Jilei, Mingxiao Taoist Temple!
Before the Mana Altar, Xu Yang opened his eyes.
“It’s here!!!”
In the center of his forehead, Spirit Light burst forth, revealing an indifferent, emotionless pupil of the Heavenly Eye that penetrated the Three Realms.
The Heavenly Eye illuminated, Mysterious Light penetrated the deep, revealing a shimmering golden dragon shadow within the boundless sea of clouds, speeding through the sky with astonishing velocity.
It was the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat made from the True Dragon’s Molt.
The Divine Ferry soared through the sky, the Treasure Boat broke through the void, heading straight for Guo Bei.
Inside, aside from Chu Gonghou, Sword Demon Ape, Shocking Thunder Jiao, True Monarch Xunlong, there were also hundreds of Demon Kings, thousands of Demon Generals, and tens of thousands of various Demons.
That was the Demon Army that Chu Gonghou had assembled by traveling around the world and uniting all sides during this period.
Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
As an Old Demon of a thousand years, he naturally knew the terror of Righteous Daoist cultivators fighting on their home ground. Even as a Demon Emperor, a forceful attack would likely end badly.
A large army was needed to attack Guo Bei, disrupt their formations, and then they might have hope of success.
Therefore, after the Mount Mang Conference, he spent quite some time traveling to all corners, threatening and enticing, uniting the Demons from various places to form this mighty army, which had now finally come to attack.
The moment of decisive victory had arrived, and they were determined to achieve victory in a single battle!
“Humph!”
Watching the imposing advance of the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat, Xu Yang said nothing else and turned to leave the hall, heading to the altar of the grand ritual.
With a flick of his dust whisk, the five-colored cloth was removed, revealing the clear blue sky in an instant as heaven and earth seemed to merge.
Although it was only the thirty-third day, and the merit was not fully realized, it was enough to cope.
Xu Yang put away his dust whisk, donned his ritual robes, and stepped onto the Nine Ceremony High Altar with the Big Dipper steps.
First, he offered three sticks of incense, then he bowed deeply, and disciples on both sides beat the ritual drums, sounding twenty-four tones.
Amid the drumming, Xu Yang took out his magic sword, stepped with the Big Dipper steps, and began to chant and cast spells.
“Qingyang reflects the void, the sun’s spirit returns, the divine tiger wards off evil, the flying heavenly bell rings, crushing treachery and destroying tests, binding all demons, the Nine Microcosms return to the Way, the eight Majestics absorb essence, thousands verify the records, the Three Elements cleanse, the Left Roar commands the Central Yellow, the Right Strike commands the Six Dings, revolving and uniting, rotating the heavenly script, sanctifying and towering, the Three Paths proceed smoothly, Qing Yun flows wide, merging into the Huang Ting…”
“Supreme Three Heavens’ Mysterious Origin begins, from one breath comes life, before Laojun, The True Infinite Way of the Three Pure Ones, the Hao Tian Golden Palace, the Supreme Jade Emperor!”
“The disciple respectfully requests, first to light the Spirit Light, second for the Taoist moon to shine brightly, third for grace to declare to the nine lands, fourth for sincerity to reach the nine heavens, fifth for all True Spirits to gather, sixth for the Taoist breath to spread, seventh for heaven to open wide, eighth for hell to be destroyed, ninth for the Mysterious Skill to be universally applied, tenth for riding the scene to fly through the sky, eleventh for all under heaven to embrace virtue, twelfth for the Way to transform without action.”
“I sincerely beseech, the Supreme of the Three Realms, the Saints of the Ten Directions, the Jade Capital’s Golden Palace, Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Truth, the Saints of the Ten Directions, the Officials of the Three Realms, all powerful spirits!”
The chanting of the mantra proclaimed, urging on the spells!
Heaven and earth changed, the wind and clouds moved!
In an instant…
“Boom rumble!”
A thunderbolt in the clear sky, a giant tremor shook heaven and earth.
The winds changed and the clouds transformed, as they howled mightily in all directions.
Outside Guo Bei County, within the sea of clouds, the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat came flying.
Inside the Treasure Boat, a world unto itself, holding tens of thousands of Demon Soldiers.
“Guo Bei is in sight, my children, charge in! Blood and feast to your heart’s content, and you shall achieve the Great Way!”
A giant wolf with silvery-grey fur standing erect let out an earth-shaking howl, the original form of Chu Gonghou.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The Demons howled, and their Demonic Qi shot up into the sky.
At that moment…
“Eh!?”
The expression on the Shocking Thunder Jiao’s face suddenly changed as he looked up in alarm and surprise.
Immediately…
“Boom rumble!”
With a loud bang, heaven and earth trembled; then, a torrential rain began to pour down.
Thunderstorm, another thunderstorm!
Heaven’s timing was assisting them!
But it wasn’t a natural occurrence; it was the grand ritual of Luotian Dajiao in practice, conjuring wind and rain, manifesting the Divine Skills of summoning thunder and controlling lightning.
“Boom rumble!”
The downpour was relentless, the thunder and lightning were dazzling, and brilliant flashes of lightning tore through the sky. With the Power of Thunderbolt, they struck heavily upon the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat.
Even if it was a True Dragon’s Molt, even if it was an ancient Magical Treasure, faced with such a force of nature, it couldn’t withstand the attack, and the True Dragon let out a mournful cry as its shadow solidified and it fell from the sky.
“Boom rumble!”
Inside the Divine Ferry, within the Treasure Boat, a tremendous shake ensued. The tens of thousands of Demons inside were rocked by the impact of the thunder, trembling and shaking.
Chu Gonghou was filled with shock and rage, “What’s happening?”
“It’s an ambush!”
“Damn it!”
“How cunning!”
The three Demon Emperor True Monarchs, including Shocking Thunder Jiao, were also full of shock and anger, grinding their teeth with hatred. But they dared not take risks at that moment, and could only turn to Chu Gonghou and say, “The situation has been exposed, the enemy is hidden and we are exposed, the situation is unfavorable, retreat!”
“This…”
Chu Gonghou clenched his teeth tightly, extremely reluctant to give in, but ultimately did not let rage cloud his judgment. He roused his mana, controlled the Divine Ferry, and was about to turn into nothingness and fly away.
The True Dragon’s Molt, an ancient Magical Treasure with the ability to turn solid into void, to disappear into nothingness, was unstoppable, and had helped Chu Gonghou escape death numerous times.
This time, there would be no exception…
“Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, the disciple respectfully requests the assistance of the Nine Heavens’ Responsive Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, to erect an iron fortress today, to turn this place into a prison of thunderbolts, invisible from all directions, as deep as a wall of bronze and iron, where golden light blinds and thunder descends, where Yang Yun covers the heavens and brings down thunderbolts, causing Demons and evil spirits to stand unsteadily, frightening the souls of Evil Spirits. I invoke the supreme Jade Pure Divine Soldiers with an urgent command as decreed by law!”
