Chapter 218: Hell Transformation Map, Decisive Battle

On the white wall of the Zhao Jinggong Temple, countless ink marks twisted, and faint ink colors painted dots of bright red, smearing countless red lotuses on the mural. Amidst the red lotuses like flames was the burning Changancheng.

Wu Wu Daozi held his beloved magic treasure brush, staring blankly at this scene.

Beside him, a man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, who looked to be over thirty but had a refined and elegant demeanor, also frowned slightly, staring solemnly at the self-evolving painting wall. Only the Ear-Dao God, with legs like bean sprouts, watched ignorantly from the side.

Until the shadow of the three-headed, eight-armed figure in the mural bathed in the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the countless dark red ink marks and red lotuses on the entire painting wall transformed into a lotus flower that covered the painting wall. The lotus flower bloomed, and the Changancheng within it manifested as a three-headed, eight-armed young demonic god.

That demonic god suppressed hell, stepped on the lotus flower, and stood on the bottomless abyss under Changancheng. In the city were countless evil ghosts and demonic heads painted by Wu Wu Daozi, Wang Wei, and the Ear-Dao God, firmly suppressed by this demonic god. Its eight arms held the eight cold and eight hot hells, and it stepped on the lotus flower, standing on the Yu Yu Jiuyou Uninterrupted Hell.

These various hell images were even more vivid than what Wu Wu Daozi had painted.

Especially the despair, hatred, resentment, sorrow, anger... the various images of despair of living beings revealed by the demonic heads slaughtering Chang'an, were close to the Dao!

Wu Wu Daozi looked at the Changancheng suppressed by the demonic god, almost unable to breathe under the heaviness revealed by the images of hell and the demonic heads slaughtering Chang'an.

Wu Wu Daozi and Wang Wei stared at this scene for a long time, until the god-demon slowly faded, Chang'an gradually disappeared, and the Hell Transformation Map reappeared, before they came back to their senses.

The Ear-Dao God's eyes had lit up the moment that young god-demon appeared. The entire demon jumped up, pointing at the mural and babbling, and it wasn't until it discovered that Wu Wu Daozi and Wang Wei were both immersed in the tragic, painful, and majestic aura of the demon god in the mural, with no time to pay attention to it, that it scurried off toward the Pear Garden Palace.

Anyway, this mural had already been drawn by itself, and it was no longer needed.

When the Ear-Dao God went over just now, it didn't observe carefully, but now that it thought about it, it felt that the golden and silver boys and the large yellow chicken had stolen some good things behind its back.

A clear and spiritual scent was drifting in the palace.

It was going to settle the score with Brother Qian Chen!

Wang Wei finally opened his mouth and said: "Wu Wu Daoxuan, will the person who asked you to paint this painting also appear at the Thousand-Autumn Banquet tonight?"

Wu Wu Daozi said embarrassedly: "Wang Mojie, I really can't say!"

"I know!" Wang Wei took one last look at the white-line drawing on the white wall, but what appeared in his mind was the scene of Changancheng being broken and becoming a living hell when the mural was evolving on its own. He turned and left...

Wu Wu Daozi called out from behind: "Wang Mojie, where are you going? Don't you want to take this incense?"

Wang Wei said: "Go to the Hua'e Xianghui Tower to attend the banquet!"

The points of fire light floating from the Karma Fire Red Lotus landed on Liu Liu Luogu, refining his divine soul. The tragedy within made even Zhong Kui unable to bear to look. This cruel karma fire burning the soul completely destroyed Liu Liu Luogu's demonic heart.

Now everyone knew that as long as they asked him any question, even at the risk of soul dissipation, Liu Liu Luogu would answer obediently.

But Brother Qian Chen didn't want to ask at all. Under the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the vicious restrictions hidden in Liu Liu Luogu's divine soul were refined together. His soul was engraved with various demonic path restrictions and was refined into a Yin Demon of the demonic path in front of everyone.

Brother Qian Chen didn't even erase his self-consciousness.

This time, without Brother Qian Chen having to force him, Liu Liu Luogu couldn't help but confess everything he knew.

"An Lushan wants to become the leader of the demonic path, and by doing so, replace the Li Tang and become the supreme being in the world. Under the five ancient capitals including Chang'an and Luoyang, there are cracks left by the Yu Yu Jiuyou Demonic Realm during the Five Demon Calamity of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the past, the Empress could borrow the endless demonic Qi of the Nine Nethers to break through. If An Lushan can blood-sacrifice the tens of millions of people in Chang'an, he might even prove the Dao of a demonic lord and achieve the Supreme Supreme Supreme Tian Mo."

"From then on, not only will he possess infinite power, but he will also be able to rule the human world and possess supreme power."

"And to capture Chang'an, he needs to make the Xiao Xie Xuan Emperor unable to use the supreme treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Li family—the Shangqing Pearl—and destroy the Morning Bell and Evening Drum and the Divine Capital Great Formation, and even more so, lift the Zhang Tian Shi's magic seal that suppresses the Yu Yu Jiuyou cracks in Chang'an and Luoyang!"

"An Lushan sent me to Chang'an to destroy the Divine Capital Great Formation and lift the Zhang Tian Shi's magic seal! For this reason, he engraved a certain restriction in my sea of consciousness, which can be used to command the many ghosts and gods who lurked in Chang'an during the demonic path years. I have used various means to threaten and win over most of them, and the remaining small half, even if they are unwilling to participate in this matter, will be unable to help themselves under the urging of the restriction."

"Three days after the Thousand-Autumn Banquet, when Yang Yang Guozhong moves to open the Yu Yu Jiuyou cracks, he will start the arrangement, ordering the thousands of ghosts and gods in Chang'an to make trouble together, destroy the Chang'an Great Formation, suppress the Zhang Tian Shi's magic seal, and open the Yu Yu Jiuyou cracks. This will turn Chang'an into a demonic domain and blood-sacrifice the tens of millions of people in the city together! Helping An Lushan prove the Dao of the Primordial Spirit, and even advance to a demonic lord!"

"An Lushan sent me to Chang'an specifically to destroy the Divine Capital Formation of Chang'an and uncover the Zhang Tian Shi's Talisman! For this, he carved a certain seal in my sea of consciousness, which can be used to coerce and restrain the many ghosts and gods who have been lurking in Chang'an since the old days. I have already used various means to threaten and win over the majority; the remaining small half, even if they are unwilling to participate in this matter, will be unable to help themselves under the activation of the seal."

"I thought An Lushan just wanted to capture Chang'an and rebel!"

"I didn't expect this person to have no humanity at all! Tens of millions of people! What sin did the common people have? What sin did the common people of Chang'an have?" Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen trembled with anger, roaring at the sky: "Use all the means of the Daoist sect! Don't care about the imperial court and the Emperor anymore! Call Jianzhen back and join forces with the Buddhist sect! Contact the Three Immortal Islands, notify all the Primordial Spirit True Immortals of our Daoist sect, and thoroughly cleanse all the demonic cultivators in the world and the many border generals of the three towns in Hebei!"

"Those involved in this matter, kill without mercy!"

Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen was red-eyed with anxiety, shouting crazily without any demeanor.

Li Guinian knelt down and trembled: "Disciple... disciple didn't know the demonic calamity was so dangerous, and was still hesitating, which is truly unforgivable. Please give the Zhang Tian Shi's decree, the Supreme Edict, and allow us to die for the Great Tang."

At this time, old and young musicians with gray hair, and dancing girls who were not yet fourteen or fifteen and had not yet established their foundation, all gathered in front of the palace gate. Among the palace maids who were eavesdropping, the older woman, who had traces of wind and frost on her beautiful face, lifted her skirt and came before Brother Qian Chen and the others, bowing deeply: "Zhang Tian Shi, all you experts, we are all willing to die to assassinate this demon!"

A slight bow, but it already showed a heart of certain death.

Liyuan musicians, whether they were of the Daoist sect or not, all brought their most beloved musical instruments and crowded in front of the palace gate.

Teaching workshop dancing girls, the youngest not even fourteen or fifteen, not yet established foundation, the oldest already a Liyuan instructor who had not performed for a long time, with gray hair. These female courtesans, carrying pipas and wearing festive costumes, also came to the front of the palace.

Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen said: "Li Guinian, rehearse the Rainbow Feather Garment Song!"

The leading woman said proudly: "We all know this song by heart; there is no need to rehearse!"

"Then practice the Ziyun Song!" Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen said decisively, and thousands of Liyuan people shouted in unison: "Follow the Zhang Tian Shi's decree!"

Brother Qian Chen and the others gave up the Liyuan Palace, and only the widest hall could accommodate so many people to rehearse. Tens of thousands of Liyuan people moved in unison. The moment the Rainbow Feather Garment Song was played, even Brother Qian Chen's Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli and Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Red Lotus were too heavy to operate.

The Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli clashed with the dance and music formation set up by these tens of thousands of people, and even fell into a disadvantage, suppressed and unable to operate.

This was the first time Brother Qian Chen had seen a power that could suppress the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Tianmo Sheli.

Brother Qian Chen turned to Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen and said: "Notifying the righteous path of the world is a backup plan! Gathering the righteous path of the world will take at least seven days. Now, to stop the demonic calamity before it happens! We can only rely on ourselves..."

"An Lushan's arrangements not only include Chang'an, but also Luoyang! Chang'an has us, so there will definitely be no major events, but Luoyang is already too late! If the assassination of An Lushan fails today, all the arrangements in Chang'an will be broken, and there won't be a major event, but Luoyang will be in unexpected danger!"

"Zhang Guo Lao's cultivation is even better than mine, but Luoyang is a Buddhist stronghold, and its power is far greater than our Daoist sect. With the Buddhist sect's interference, the previous attempt to suppress the demonic heads failed. If An Lushan makes a move, it is indeed in jeopardy!" Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen said worriedly.

"So..." Brother Qian Chen handed over Liu Liu Luogu, who was sealed in a Karma Fire Red Lotus, and said: "Use this person's soul memory to convince the Buddhist sect. In this karma fire, I have sealed some of the Great Tang's national destiny, which can be used to calculate the calamity and heavenly secrets."

"Monk Yixing is a master of calculation, and the Esoteric Sect has his successors!"

Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen said: "With this as evidence, I will definitely be able to convince them!"

"Originally, I should have gone to the Qinglong Temple to talk to those monks, but now Luoyang is more dangerous than Chang'an. Chang'an has us, so there will definitely be no problem! But I am really worried about Luoyang."

Brother Qian Chen bowed to Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen: "Then I'll trouble Master Sima Ziwei!"

"The Daoist friend is flattering me!" Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen said solemnly: "Even if we are smashed to pieces, we will protect the common people of Luoyang."

At this time, Princess Princess Yuzhen's maid, a female Daoist who was lurking in the Daoist sect, reported: "The Emperor has returned to the Xingqinggong and is greeting the ministers and commoners on the Qinzheng Wuben Tower, celebrating with the whole city. Envoys from various countries, princes and dukes have all arrived."

"The Emperor sent someone to ask where the Princess is?"

Brother Qian Chen stood up and said: "Let's go! The success or failure of this calamity depends on this one move!"

Si Si Qingguo nervously gripped her magic treasure, finding there were too many, and she couldn't hold them all with two hands, so she had to gather these scissors, rings, seals, hairpins, and jewelry in her arms, her little legs trembling with nervousness. Fortunately, there were many Liyuan women and Daoist sect female Daoists who were trembling with her.

It wasn't that embarrassing...

Ning Ning Qingchen didn't have so many magic treasures, but she was also constantly refining the Guanghan

Si Si Qingguo nervously gripped her magic tools, finding there were simply too many; she couldn't hold them all with two hands, so she had to gather these scissors, rings, seals, hairpins, and jewelry into her arms, her nervous calves trembling. Fortunately, many Pear Garden women, and even Daoist nuns, were trembling along with her.

It wasn't so embarrassing after all...

Ning Ning Qingchen did not have so many magic tools, but she constantly honed the Guanghan Ice Soul Outer Pill gifted by Brother Qian Chen, refining the Bagua Cloud Light Kerchief and the Purple Haze Treasure Sword in her hand.

Yan Shu's fighting spirit soared in his eyes; he picked up the wine jar he had brought along and drank a cup.

The Big Huang Ji hid in Si Si Qingguo's carriage, and soon the group of undercover Daoist nuns set up the ceremonial guard, escorting the few toward the Xingqinggong...
