Chapter 1049: Chapter 371: The Greatest Sword of Great Tang (12,000 Words, Triple-Length Chapter) (Part 2)

However, the current situation in the Great Tang Dynasty is complex and ever-changing, so everyone remained cautious.

Compared to the Jingxiang Fang Clan, Xiao Hang of the Longwai Xiao Clan is more trustworthy.

With him guarding the Void Gateway with the Haoran Sword, everyone felt much more at ease.

"As you please." The "Chen Donglou" incarnated by Lei Jun spoke in a normal tone.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaotang already took the lead, charging into the Netherworld!

"Chen Donglou" summoned back the Seven-Star Sword, walked with hands behind his back, and likewise stepped into the Netherworld Gate.

Zhang Taigang immediately called on Ji Chuan and Xie Yiling to enter with him.

Led by Ye Dongming and Ji Dongquan, the Mount Shu Elders remained outside the Void Gateway with Xiao Hang.

Fang Jingsheng, Fang Shihan, and other Fang Clan experts also mirrored their actions.

.........

The Netherworld at this moment is far from peaceful.

War flames had already reached the mountain gate of the Inner Mount Shu Sect.

The High Merit Elder of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Tian Lingfeng, gathered the remaining disciples, sounded the Five Declines Great Path Bell, and combined with the sturdy Fengdu City, managed to keep the formidable enemies outside the city.

"Who has disobeyed the orders of the Sect Leader and secretly went to the Song Territory to gather exotic beasts?"

Tian Lingfeng, supporting Fengdu City, looked at his disciples with a displeased expression.

Everyone claimed they dared not.

Tian Lingfeng felt troubled.

Outside the city, two groups of people, like surging waves, were attacking Fengdu City.

One group consisted mainly of martial taoists, some riding, some refining their bodies, some striking weapons; their numbers were vast, and their exuberant vitality gathered together made the once-dead Netherworld less cold.

The other group was relatively smaller in number, but the sound of chanting reverberated everywhere, as the Dharma Essence of the Buddhist Sect circulated, resisting the approach of the deathly aura of the Netherworld.

They were all dressed like monks from the Western Regions.

But Tian Lingfeng knew these were not the Sumi Vajra Division that once clashed with Inner Mount Shu Sect of the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

They were descendants from another of the Five Vajra Sects in the Sumi Lotus Sect.

They hailed from the Song Territory.

Perhaps, it could no longer be called the Song Territory.

The Great Song Dynasty was already on the brink of extinction.

The Golden Khanate had successfully trampled the South, attacking the Song Territory.

The Sumeru Lotus Sect was indeed their aid.

The Inner Mount Shu Sect had earlier restrained its disciples from conflicting with the Golden Khanate.

Although the sacrifice and Warming and Nurturing of the Heavenly Birds and Terrestrial Beasts Mirror required a large quantity of exotic beast souls and flesh, the timing was currently not right.

The Inner Mount Shu Sect did not intend to simultaneously provoke the Tang Imperial Dynasty and the Golden Khanate.

If no one had secretly violated the prohibition, it must have been that during the unrest of the Song Territory, Inner Mount Shu Sect secretly absorbed a large population, which eventually drew the Golden Khanate’s attention.

As the Great Song Dynasty gradually became history, experts from the Golden Khanate and Sumeru Lotus Sect came to investigate.

Currently, the most fierce attackers of Fengdu City were two great experts, a monk and a martial artist, forcing Tian Lingfeng to keep highly alert.

"This place is truly annoying."

Ange Asel, leader of the Golden Khanate’s Wuda Division, coldly stared at Fengdu City before him.

Beside him stood Master Danta of the Sumeru Lotus Sect.

Master Danta said, "To the best of my knowledge, there should be more experts within the Netherworld’s Inner Mount Shu Sect..."

Ange Asel: "Attack first, it’s best to capture it. If not, hold the gateway and report to the Great Khan. How could we allow these rats to cause chaos behind our warriors as they conquer the frontiers?"

Although Master Danta believed that the prior chaos caused by Tang Dynasty Taoist cultivators in Sumeru was more of a significant threat, letting the Netherworld’s Inner Mount Shu Sect continue to harass the Tang Dynasty Human Realm might be better, but the Golden Khanate had other considerations; he did not oppose.

Therefore, he nodded: "Alright."

Then, Master Danta, together with the alien Martial Saint Ange Asel, attacked Fengdu City.

Inner Mount Shu’s Elder Tian Lingfeng, stationed at Fengdu City, with the Five Declines Great Path Bell by his side, could ensure safety for the moment.

However, in doing so, large areas of the Netherworld outside Fengdu City were within the enemy’s trampling range.

Considering critical park areas that could, if lost, severely impair Inner Mount Shu’s vitality, Tian Lingfeng could only quickly contact Ji Yao, Li Linsnow, and Lu Changpeng among other Mount Shu experts for support.

.........

Lei Jun, transformed into "Chen Donglou", entered the Netherworld, adapting to the environment here that differs greatly from the mortal world, while carefully surveying the terrain.

They closely followed Ji Yao, Li Linsnow, Lu Changpeng, and the others down to the Netherworld.

Even though they didn’t have the materials to set up something as formidable as the Great Yin-Yang Nine Palaces Immortal Array, the Tang Dynasty cultivators were still wary of potential ambushes or traps.

Lei Jun was likewise cautious but felt more assured than the others.

Considering the nature of an unpredictable enemy, chasing desperate foes is ill-advised, a logic Lei Jun also contemplated.

However, as he hurried to rendezvous with Tang Xiaotang to decide whether to pursue into the Netherworld, a light ball suddenly flashed in his mind, revealing writing:

[Wangchuan moves nine curves, friend and foe become uncertain.]

Subsequently, three different lots appeared:

[Moderately good lot: Enter the Netherworld, pass the Abyss of Still Water, handle wisely, opportunity to gain a third-grade chance, though the waves are turbulent, latent risk exists, handle with caution, auspicious.]

[Perfectly neutral lot: Do not enter the Netherworld, no extra gains, nor losses, peaceful.]

[Moderately unlucky lot: Enter the Netherworld, journey by paths other than the Abyss of Still Water, opportunity to gain a fifth-grade chance, but may face bigger risks, be extra cautious, ominous.]

Though I don’t have the Celestial Master Robe or Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat on me, coming down with my little senior sister, could a lot result in choosing an unlucky lot... Lei Jun mused.

According to the wording of the lot, this moderately unlucky lot isn’t extremely perilous, like a situation with narrow escape from death, caught between retreat and advance.
