Chapter 279 The Deadly Chant

"Xingtian's whereabouts in the underworld have been determined, but to obtain his inheritance, someone from the Primordial Emperor Star must go there. To be on the safe side, Ling Xuewei and Liu Guiyuan should go."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan spoke.

Within the Dao Palace, he was in charge of searching for matters of the underworld. After the matter of reincarnation on Nan Yao Star, it took him a year to finally find traces of the underworld of Xing Tian Demon God!

"Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei are both rare geniuses of the highest level within the sect. Is this inappropriate...?"

There was a clear hint of reluctance in the eyes of the Peak Master of Thunder Peak.

After all, geniuses at the Supreme level are rare these days, and Liu Guiyuan is considered a core disciple within his Thunder Peak.

Many elders knew that once chosen, one would be offered as a sacrifice and blood offering in the underworld, and would be eaten by the evil spirits and corpses!

There is absolutely no chance of him returning.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "I've heard that the ancient divine body Li Lan is still on Heavenly Dao Peak. He can no longer cultivate. If he goes to the underworld, he should be better off than Liu Guiyuan and the other two!"

"I think so too."

The peak master of Tianshui Peak, an old woman who was also a Daoist, was equally unwilling for Ling Xuewei to die. Her face was cold: "The Dao Palace does not support idle people. What use is there in keeping an ancient useless body?"

Changsun Xu hesitated for a moment. He also wanted Li Lan to go, since Li Lan had been following Luo Chuan all along and he had no chance to take Li Lan's blood again!

Although Fan Yuzhi escaped, his and Helian Ba's desire for the Lesser Divine Pill remains unchanged!

However, he couldn't say it directly, so he said, "But now Li Lan is by the side of Elder Luo Chuan. If we send Li Lan, I'm afraid Elder Luo Chuan won't agree. That wouldn't be appropriate..."

Intentionally taking advantage of the crowd!

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, many peak masters and elders in the arena spoke up!

"We failed to obtain the inheritance of the Fighting Demon God, but the inheritance of the Xingtian Demon God is now our only hope. How can we let it be ruined because of one person?"

"What kind of person is the Supreme Lord Luo Chuan? He wouldn't be displeased because of such a lowly Li Lan!"

"You'd rather keep a cripple alive than send Ling Xuewei and Liu Guiyuan to their deaths? Don't you think that's unfair?"

Everyone agrees!

Even if the Supreme Elder holds a prestigious position, there is nothing that can be done when faced with the unanimous opinion of all the Peak Masters and Elders!

Seeing this, Liu Guiyuan, whose face had been extremely ugly, finally breathed a slight sigh of relief!

Although no one ever told them the truth about the Dao Palace after they entered, Zhou Xiang had been to the underworld, which was the transformed form of the Fighting Demon God, so he knew some things about it.

Once they go to the underworld, they become offerings!

Therefore, when he learned that he and Ling Xuewei might be sent there, he was furious... Why?

He always believed that the victims would only be people like Zhou Xiang, and it was impossible for him to be implicated. He had already become a true disciple of the Dao Temple and should enjoy a different life.

Beside him, Ling Xuewei simply sighed softly.

“In that case, I will go and ask Elder Luo Chuan for a discussion.”

Changsun Xudao.

Before he could finish speaking, an aged voice rang out: "No need to invite him, I will come myself!"

Everyone's gaze shifted, and they saw that Elder Luo Chuan had already led Li Lan into the main hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty,"

Changsun Xu stood up and bowed, and everyone else followed suit with a slight bow.

"Your Majesty, we are currently discussing the matter of Xing Tian's return to the Underworld, and we urgently need someone of outstanding talent from the Primordial Emperor Star to go there. Do you have anyone in mind?"

Guo Zhentian took the initiative to speak.

Luo Chuan coldly replied, "Since an agreement has already been reached, why beat around the bush?"

"You don't need to force me. Li Lan volunteered to go to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly startled and their gazes fell on Li Lan.

"Li Lan's righteousness is truly a testament to Elder Luo Chuan's guidance and kindness!"

Changsun Xu immediately stood up and smiled, saying, "In that case, let Li Lan handle this matter. Elder Guo and Elder Xuanyuan, you two will be fully responsible for this matter!"

"By the way, in order to ensure the success of this mission, in addition to having Li Lan as the leader, Ling Xuewei, Liu Guiyuan, and others should also come along, just in case. What do you all think?"

Xingtian Underworld... is the last chance for the Dao Palace to rise again, and it absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement!

……

Not long after.

Guo Zhentian and Xuan Yuantongxuan led the team, and Li Lan, Ling Xuewei, Liu Guiyuan, Zeng Rou, and others also came, and even Zhou Xiang came.

"Zhou Xiang, what brings you here too?" Li Lan asked, somewhat surprised.

Although Changsun Xu sent other disciples of the Primordial Emperor Star along, Zhou Xiang's status was special, as he was a direct disciple of the Supreme Emperor. Moreover, Luo Chuan had already sent Li Lan, so who would dare to ask Luo Chuan to send his direct disciples as well?

"I wanted to come here myself."

Although Zhou Xiang still has a full head of white hair, his spirit and energy have improved significantly over the past year, and his cultivation has also increased considerably. He said, "I don't know why you want to go to the underworld, but I believe that you are a true Kunpeng and can definitely change all of this."

"Whether you will die or soar to the heavens, I want to see you off on your final journey."

He is very sincere.

Li Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay!"

Not far away, Zeng Rou's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed, "Zhou Xiang!"

She took the initiative to greet Zhou Xiang, ignoring Li Lan, and said with a warm smile, "You're going too? I thought you were of such high status that you didn't need to go."

"By the way, this is the Purple Sudan, made from the spiritual herbs I personally cultivated. It can turn your hair white, so you can look younger in the future."

She took out a jade box from her bosom and handed it to Zhou Xiang with both hands, looking just like a young girl in love, gazing at her long-admired idol.

Clearly, she had been preparing this gift for a long time.

"no need."

Zhou Xiang responded indifferently, completely ignoring her.

"Zhou Xiang!"

Zeng Rou gritted her teeth.

“Zeng Rou, don’t you think it’s laughable that you start with ’arrogance’ and then become ‘respectful’?” Li Lan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Li Lan, you're a dying man, what right do you have to laugh at me?"

Zeng Rou's face was extremely ugly. Having been hit where it hurt, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Heh, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you really think that by voluntarily dying in Xue Wei's place, she will have feelings for you again? You two are from two different worlds now. In this lifetime, you have no right to touch her again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lan burst into laughter, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Not far away, Liu Guiyuan saw this scene and said coldly, "Xuewei, don't worry about him. Li Lan's sacrifice is the decision of the Dao Hall, and it has nothing to do with us!"

Ling Xuewei remained completely calm and said, "I know."

She seemed completely oblivious to the conversation between Li Lan and Zeng Rou, and instead murmured, "The underworld...should we go to Baiyun City first?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiyuan frowned slightly...

Baiyun City is not within the sphere of influence of the Dao Palace, but belongs to the Mingguang Sect!

He knew that Ling Xuewei seemed to have a special feeling towards a genius from the Mingguang Sect, and that genius also seemed to be from the Primordial Emperor Star...

This made his heart sink.

……

The group stepped onto the teleportation array and left the Dao Palace.

They moved quickly, and the next day, they were already in a city.

"This is Baiyun City."

Xuanyuan Tongxuan spoke, and everyone stepped out of the formation.

"How fortunate we are to have the Daoist friends from the Dao Palace here!"

People in the city were already there to greet them. An old man came up and said, "Fellow Daoist Guo, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, Madam Baixue of my sect has prepared a banquet to welcome you!"

Guo Zhentian said, "In that case, I'll trouble you—"

--The Dao Palace had already made arrangements with the Mingguang Sect before setting off.

After all, this is on the territory of the Mingguang Sect, and it involves Xing Tian, ​​the ancient demon god of the Primordial Emperor Star. Without the Mingguang Sect's approval, the Dao Palace cannot monopolize it.

Led by the old man, the group entered a grand hall in Baiyun City.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Xue, how have you been?"

Lady Bai Xue was already waiting there. Guo Zhentian stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and Lady Bai Xue nodded, asking, "Is your palace ready?"

Guo Zhentian said, "Everything is ready, but the incense money still needs to be refined in your esteemed place."

"No problem."

Madam Bai Xue looked behind Guo Zhentian and suddenly her gaze fell on Li Lan. She exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Body Li Lan? The Dao Palace is actually willing to let him out to train?"

Back on Nan Yao Star, she had competed with Chen Hua, Marquis Wei Wu, and others for Li Lan, so she naturally had a deep impression of him.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, although this child possesses a special physique, it is an ancient divine body, which prevents him from cultivating."

Guo Zhentian sighed and said, "The details are a long story, but he is a key figure in this exploration of Xing Tian's underworld!"

Lady Snow White understood instantly, and couldn't help but sigh softly, seemingly with a hint of sympathy, saying, "I understand, this is everyone's fate."

"Yao Yi, you take the disciples of the Dao Hall to rest first. I will discuss this with Elder Guo and the others."

She spoke, and immediately, a young man in white walked up behind her.

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up. This young man was handsome and refined, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His gentle smile was like a spring breeze. He said, "Fellow disciples, please follow me!"

His gaze also swept over Ling Xuewei and the others. When he saw Ling Xuewei, he smiled and nodded slightly, clearly as a greeting.

Li Lan and the others followed the other party and entered a garden.

Emperor Guangzong of Ming made thorough preparations and hosted a banquet here. Yao Yi entertained everyone with proper and elegant manners, quickly creating a lively atmosphere.

Indeed, he is no ordinary person.

"Is this Brother Li, the Divine Body?"

Yao Yi toasted everyone one by one, and when he reached Li Lan, Li Lan said, "I am just an ancient useless body, I dare not accept such praise."

Yao Yi, however, said solemnly, “The ways of Heaven change, and true dragons hide in the abyss. This is the will of Heaven, which cannot be altered by man. But Brother Li remains calm in the face of honor and disgrace, and is even able to stand up for his compatriots. This is true chivalry. Yao Yi admires you. Brother Li, please drink a cup!”

His expression was sincere and genuine, and Zeng Rou and the others beside him all showed admiration. They all felt that Yao Yi's respect for Li Lan, a cripple, was truly unparalleled.

"Such a fine wine would be a waste for Li Lan to drink it; let's forget about it."

Li Lan spoke coldly, then looked at Zhou Xiang: "Brother Xiang, I want to go out for a walk and buy some meat buns. Do you want to come?"

Zhou Xiang was puzzled when he heard this. What was going on with Li Lan?

The banquet hosted by Emperor Mingguang was so lavish, with rare delicacies like spirit wine and medicinal cuisine, yet Li Lan insisted on buying meat buns from outside... This was rather disrespectful.

But thinking that Li Lan might be under too much pressure and feeling down, he didn't care and said, "Come on, I'll go with you!"

"Perfect timing! I haven't had a big meat bun in years, I'll have a taste!"

Regardless of what others thought, he followed Li Lan.

The elegant Yao Yi, holding a glass of wine, stood there awkwardly, and the atmosphere became somewhat stiff. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
