This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 343 Chi You's Underworld

Jin Ruohong held Li Lan in utter contempt, and for a moment, Jin Cheng, Jin Chengyun, and the others all showed anger on their faces.

But Li Lan remained calm and said, "The rise and fall of the Great Dao is not determined in a moment."

Jin Ruohong sneered and said, "So, the rise and fall of the Great Dao is not something that can be decided in a short time. Where is the sun that the clan asked you to prepare? Take it out."

Li Lan replied, "The clan only told us to prepare the sun to receive the old god-king, but there was no order to hand the sun over to you, was there?"

Having experienced countless power struggles from the underworld to the mortal realm, Li Lan knew very well that the opening of the Chi You Secret Realm and the imminent birth of the Old God King presented an opportunity for all the major factions within the Golden Crow Clan.

Whoever can rescue the old God King and gain his favor will likely rise rapidly in rank and become the successor to power.

Therefore, how could Li Lan possibly give them strategic resources like the sun?

Although Li Lan is not a member of the Golden Crow Clan and has no feelings for them, he is currently acting under the identity of "Xiaoyao Hou" and will be heading to the Divine Realm in the future to seek a higher position and more resources, which will greatly benefit him.

"Jin Ruofeng, your cultivation has fallen to such a state that you don't even have a single Divine Fire level expert under your command, yet you still dare to defy me?!"

Jin Ruohong's face darkened, and she spoke directly.

Li Lan said calmly, "Do you want to take it by force?"

Jin Ruohong was speechless, her eyes blazing with anger.

However, he didn't dare to actually lay a hand on Li Lan.

After all, the two are of the same generation and status, so it is perfectly reasonable for the other party not to give it to him. If he were to take action against his own clan because of this, it would be a major taboo.

"Very well, then I'll wait and see what you can do in Chi You's underworld!"

Jin Ruohong turned and left.

"My lord, Jin Ruohong is coming with great force, so we must be careful."

After they left, Jin Cheng spoke with considerable concern.

"It's alright."

Li Lan remained calm.

……

"Father, this man truly doesn't know what's good for him!"

After they left, a young man with an extraordinary aura spoke up beside Jin Ruohong, saying, "We should have attacked him directly just now and taught him a lesson!"

He is Jin Zhennan, the biological son of Jin Ruohong.

"Although this person's cultivation has declined, he is still a member of the same clan and a noble. How can we easily attack him?"

Jin Ruohong said calmly, "Zhennan, you have great talent, but you still need more experience in political maneuvering. You must not act rashly."

Jin Zhennan nodded and said, "However, their lineage is now finished."

Jin Ruohong replied, "No!"

A hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes as he said, "Throughout history, only two predecessors of the Golden Crow Clan have walked the path of pure Yang in the human body. These two predecessors have left behind illustrious names in the history of our Golden Crow Clan."

"Therefore, we must not underestimate Jin Ruofeng!"

Jin Ruohong said, "You mean..."

"When the Chi You Secret Realm opens, find an opportunity to kill him. Only the dead are truly harmless!"

Jin Zhennan nodded solemnly.

"None of our Golden Crow clan members have been chosen by the Hall of Reincarnation. Only by obtaining the Mortal Scripture can we participate in that grand feast... and ensure our future glory!"

Jin Ruohong sighed softly again and said, "Take some people to hunt down some suns in the mortal realm. This time, the underworld of Chiyou has opened, and that demon god might still be alive. We must not make any mistakes."

……

The news that the Chi You Secret Realm was about to open spread far and wide.

For a time, many powerful forces were plotting and preparing.

Two months later.

Li Lan also personally set off for the Devil's Plain.

……

Devil's Plains is located amidst towering mountains in the southern part of the Big Dipper Starfield. The mountain ranges are undulating and desolate, making Devil's Plains stand out at first glance.

It was as if someone had used a celestial blade to slice away the mountains, leaving behind an endless plain. The plain was covered with desolate sand, like a terrifying scar amidst the green vegetation of the mountains, where not a single blade of grass could be seen.

Life was extinguished.

"This place is extremely ominous!"

"Chi You's Secret Realm must be here. This plain was created by the terrifying power of ten thousand soldiers, which is why it was upgraded to an abyss and became a dead zone!"

"This place is too astonishing. When I unleash my divine sense, I seem to feel an unbelievable, terrifying, and ferocious power. Could it be that Chi You is still alive?"

People from various factions arrived one after another, and were all shocked when they saw the Devil's Plain.

Even on a clear, cloudless day, if a powerful cultivator were to use their divine senses to investigate, they would immediately sense that the empty plain had transformed into a terrifying place where howling winds raged, and that taking a single step there would mean certain death.

Conversely, those with lower cultivation levels cannot sense it.

"Chi You was once revered as the first demon king, with overwhelming ferocity. He even had the feat of killing other god kings in the ancient war. If he were still alive, it would be too amazing."

"After all, it is the ancestor of all weapons. Once it appears in the world, it will probably cause a great bloodbath, and the divine realm may be plunged into disaster again."

"If he were still alive, we would be throwing our lives away here!"

Many powerful people were shocked.

At that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Devil's Plain.

"Qin Zhong, the God-King?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

In an instant, all the major powers in the Divine Realm paid their respects.

"Greetings, God-King!"

"Greetings, God-King!"

That person was Qin Zhong.

Li Lan was also in the crowd at this moment. He concealed his aura and kept his head down without saying a word.

Having fought Qin Zhong before, Li Lan's perception at this level is terrifyingly powerful, so he needs to be cautious.

"Is the Golden Crow clan ready?"

Qin Zhong, the God-King, spoke calmly.

Immediately, Jin Ruohong stepped forward and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, this is what you need."

A beam of light flew directly toward Qin Zhong, the God King, from his hand.

Qin Zhong, the God-King, nodded and said, "Alright."

"I will keep my promise and intervene once to rescue your Golden Crow Clan's Yaogu God King."

"But who gets the scriptures is up to you, it's up to your own abilities, I won't interfere."

Clearly, the two sides reached some kind of deal.

His words immediately shocked everyone.

"The Radiant God King?"

"This is the old god-king of the Golden Crow clan. Is he still alive?"

"It is said that back then, the Yaogu God King and the Changqing God King of the Teng Clan chased after the Emperor Star, but neither of them returned. There are rumors that the two perished together with the Demon King Chiyou..."

This news is shocking.

At the same time, many people felt a chill in their hearts. If Yaogu God King was still alive, what about Chiyou Demon King?

They all sensed that a major battle might be about to break out.

"Burn incense!"

At this moment, the God King Qin Zhong spoke calmly.

People from various factions immediately stepped forward, and massive amounts of incense money and yin-connecting incense were lit. In an instant, the smoke surged towards the Devil's Plain like a tide.

Boom!

Suddenly, amidst the vast smoke, it was as if a thunderclap had exploded, yin and yang clashing, unpredictable changes occurring, and a grand world vaguely appeared before the world...

Everyone strained their eyes to see what it was: in that world, dazzling flames soared into the sky, terrifying demonic shadows stood tall, the Great Dao trembled violently, and all sorts of magic and supernatural powers permeated the entire world...

The aura of battle emanated from the mountains, causing them to tremble throughout the southern part of the Big Dipper Starfield.

"The great battle is still ongoing?!"

"The great battle is still raging in the underworld!"

"This is incredible! Has this great war continued from ancient times all the way to the present day?!"

Everyone was utterly shocked.
