Chapter 747: Resolving Yue Mo

The Yinyue Dynasty has lasted for seven generations and is the holy land for all demons in the world.

The Yinyue Dynasty has a Zangshu Hall; while one cannot say it has collected every unique technique in the world, the richness of its collection can certainly be called vast.

Apart from the righteous martial arts they have plundered, only a few demonic ultimate arts are worth a look from Yu Liancheng.

After taking over the Yinyue Dynasty, Yu Liancheng entered the Zangshu Hall under the guidance of Qiye.

His cultivation is profound, and the True Qi within his body circulates day and night without rest; he does not need to absorb the True Qi of heaven and earth to strengthen himself, so things like sleeping have become almost dispensable to him, and he spent the whole night reading in the Zangshu Hall. When the first ray of sunlight spilled down the next day, he was still full of spirit, closed his book, and strode toward the sleeping palace of the Yinyue Empress Dowager.

"Most demonic ultimate arts are rather extreme, such as this Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, which gathers all the demonic Qi of the body into a single sword strike. Once the sword is swung, it leaves no room for the opponent, nor does it leave any room for oneself; it is either you die or I perish. If someone with a shallow foundation were to practice this Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, I fear that after swinging it once, their own cultivation would be practically ruined."

While lost in thought, Yu Liancheng had already arrived before a magnificent sleeping palace.

Looking up at the palace, he sensed that trace of eerie, netherworldly demonic Qi, his expression turning slightly solemn.

It is time to resolve the worry of Yue Mo.

When Yu Liancheng stepped into the sleeping palace of the Yinyue Empress Dowager, the first thing he saw was the Yinyue Empress Dowager sitting in the Liangji Crystal Coffin, lost in thought; she was wearing palace attire like clouds and mist, her long, pitch-black hair spilling over her shoulders and into the crystal coffin like flowing clouds, her exquisite and beautiful face carrying a dazed look, as if she had only just awakened.

Qiye, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, stood beside the Yinyue Empress Dowager, recounting to her what had happened while she was unconscious.

After listening to Qiye's account, the Yinyue Empress Dowager sighed softly and gently stroked Qiye's cheek with her hand: "Child, it has been hard on you; this position of Holy Monarch, it is better not to hold it."

Then, the Yinyue Empress Dowager turned her beautiful eyes to look at Yu Liancheng: "This concubine has met Holy Monarch Yu; from now on, my orphan and widow will live under the protection of the Holy Monarch."

"Easily said, easily said." Yu Liancheng smiled slightly.

While speaking, his eyes scanned the Yinyue Empress Dowager inch by inch.

Under Yu Liancheng's gaze, which felt almost tangible, the Yinyue Empress Dowager felt entirely uncomfortable, feeling as if the clothing on her body had turned invisible, seen through completely by him, and all her own secrets had nowhere to hide under this pair of warm, moist eyes.

Although she felt slightly uncomfortable, the Yinyue Empress Dowager still wore a smile, gently smoothed her long hair with her hand, and said: "Is Holy Monarch Yu not going to eradicate Yue Mo? I wonder when you will begin?"

"It has already begun; I am checking the restrictions Yue Mo left on your body." Yu Liancheng remained expressionless, his tone calm: "Yue Mo does indeed have some tricks, but in the end, she is just a demon who manipulates the human heart; if we truly speak of cultivation, she is not considered very powerful. It is only because you, Empress Dowager, left a flaw in your heart that she was able to take advantage of the void."

Suddenly, Yu Liancheng's body rose into the air, floating into the Liangji Crystal Coffin, his palm pressed against the Empress Dowager's back: "Are you ready? I am going to start."

"Please do your best, Holy Monarch Yu." The Yinyue Empress Dowager nodded gently, her eyes flickering with longing.

"Good." Yu Liancheng smiled slightly, and his Guizang True Qi merged into the Yinyue Empress Dowager's body.

"Mm..." The Yinyue Empress Dowager only felt a warm current surge into her back, which a moment later spread like lightning throughout her entire body, making her feel warm and tingling all over. This comfortable sensation even made her unable to suppress a lazy moan.

Just as she felt completely at ease, Yu Liancheng's True Qi, which had fused with the "God-Startling Dao," had already traveled through her body once, then quickly retracted; yet, within the True Qi was wrapped a strange, cold object, like fish and shrimp scooped up in a fishing net, struggling within the True Qi, but to no avail.

"Alright, I am going to completely eradicate Yue Mo; Yue Mo is too tightly entangled with your soul and flesh, as if she has become a part of your body and soul." Yu Liancheng said calmly: "So at the moment of eradication, it might be a little painful, but I will try to be as gentle as possible."

The Yinyue Empress Dowager's eyes shifted, looking at Qiye to the side, and she smiled slightly: "As long as Qiye is here, I can endure any pain!"

Yu Liancheng smiled, his True Qi forming a net to trap Yue Mo, then he gripped with his five fingers, a powerful suction force generating in his palm, and he suddenly pulled Yue Mo out from the Yinyue Empress Dowager's body.

Yu Liancheng clenched his five fingers, and in his hand appeared a mass of thick black Qi.

The black Qi was filled with resentment, malice, and hateful negative emotions, making one's heart fluctuate just by looking at it.

And within the black Qi was a human face, constantly crashing about, yet it could never escape Yu Liancheng's five fingers.

Because Yue Mo and the Yinyue Empress Dowager's body had been fused for too long, the two were almost one; at this moment, as Yue Mo was eradicated, the Yinyue Empress Dowager immediately felt intense pain in her body and soul, her face instantly turning deathly pale, her forehead dripping with sweat, and her delicate body helplessly collapsing into Yu Liancheng's arms.

Yu Liancheng trapped Yue Mo with one hand and pressed his other hand against the Yinyue Empress Dowager's flat, smooth lower abdomen, injecting vigorous True Qi into her body.

Qiye, standing to the side, watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitching, wanting to speak but stopping.

The Yinyue Empress Dowager's delicate body trembled slightly, twitching lightly from time to time; after a long while, she finally calmed down completely, a trace of color gradually returning to her pale jade face, and she managed to prop herself up and sit up from Yu Liancheng's arms: "Th-thank you, Holy Monarch Yu, for resolving this monstrous disaster for me; this grace of rebirth is truly impossible to repay."

"It is nothing; after all, I am the Holy Monarch now, so naturally, I must eliminate the culprit who nearly caused the dynasty to collapse."

Yu Liancheng clenched his five fingers, and the thick black Qi dissipated with a boom amidst screams. Yue Mo's true strength was not strong, but she was too good at stirring up the human heart. For such an opponent, one must strangle and crush her in one go to avoid endless future troubles.

Qiye was just about to say something when he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of heart-palpitation and oppression. This alarm and oppression originated from the heart and was the instinctive intuition of a Martial Dao expert; his entire mind was shaken, and he became inexplicably panicked. He raised his head to look at the firmament, his expression solemn, as if the sky were collapsing.

The Yinyue Empress Dowager looked at Qiye's expression and frowned: "Qiye, what is wrong?"

Before Qiye could speak, Jing Wuyuan had already hurried over, cupping his hands and saying: "Lord Holy Monarch, the Yinshi Youquan is about to erupt."

"What!? The Yinshi Youquan is about to erupt?" The Yinyue Empress Dowager's expression changed: "The Yinshi Youquan has been suppressed for nearly three hundred years; it is finally going to erupt after all."

The so-called Yinshi Youquan is the place where the most cold and evil Earthly Fiend demonic Qi of the three realms gathers; it has existed in the human world since the beginning of heaven and earth. Legend has it that the deepest part of the Youquan can lead to the underworld of hell; once it erupts, it will be an unimaginable disaster, and all living things will vanish, with the three realms destroyed together.

From ancient times to the present, the righteous and demonic paths have always been at odds, but for the sake of the human world and their own safety, they have often joined forces to carry out various seals and suppressions on the Yinshi Youquan to prevent the demonic Qi from erupting.

The reason there has been no news of the Yinshi Youquan erupting for the past two hundred years is that the peerless eccentric Su Tianxin threw the righteous Moye Precious Sword into the Yinshi Youquan, preventing its next eruption and allowing the human world to enjoy nearly three hundred years of peace.

"Teacher Jing, can you calculate the specific location of the Yinshi Youquan?"

"If I have not calculated wrongly, it should be the Wangqing Forest."

At the same time, in the Tianchi of the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect.

The Sheng Nü of the three realms opened her deep, clear eyes, which were unstained by a single speck of dust.

"Sheng Nü of the three realms, have you detected the location of the Yinshi Youquan?" Jinguang led the Xuanxin Four Generals to the Tianchi in person.

Although the Yinshi Youquan had not yet erupted, the fluctuations it caused were too strong; any expert who had achieved success in cultivation would feel that fear of a catastrophic disaster.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it is in the Wangqing Forest."

"Can you calculate the exact day the Yinshi Youquan will erupt?"

"At most one month; if the Yinshi Youquan cannot be suppressed and sealed, then in one month, the demonic Qi of the Yinshi Youquan will sweep through the three realms and destroy all living things; except for a very few powerful cultivators, none will be spared."

Jinguang nodded with a solemn expression. After leaving the Tianchi, he took out the magic treasure Liangji Arrow, a flash of brilliance passing through his eyes: "With the eruption of the Yinshi Youquan, people from the Yinyue Dynasty will appear, and Yu Liancheng will certainly come in person; this time is the perfect opportunity for me, Jinguang, to uphold the righteous path."

The human world.

Above the nine heavens, the gale howled, shrill as ghosts crying and gods howling.

Masses of ink-black clouds gathered, rendering the world like the nine-nether hell; accompanied by lightning and thunder, bean-sized raindrops poured down, and before long, shallow puddles had accumulated, the world dim and dark.

Step! Step! Step!

Yu Liancheng led the demon army, carrying monstrous demonic Qi, and arrived before a city, intending to rest there for a while. According to the map, it was another ten miles to the Wangqing Forest.

"Holy Monarch, something is wrong." Jing Wuyuan reined in his horse, looking at the city in the torrential rain, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Oh?" Yu Liancheng raised an eyebrow.

"In this city, I cannot sense a single breath of life, not even a trace."

Jing Wuyuan said, "This place is only ten miles from the Wangqing Forest. I suspect a surge of Demon energy once enveloped this city, stripping away the lives of all living beings."

"Not a single trace of life?" Qiye frowned. "Is the surge of Demon energy truly that terrifying?"

"Whether it is or isn't, we will know once we go in and take a look." Yu Liancheng spurred his horse forward, and with a loud boom, he smashed open the city gate and entered the city, with the crowd of demons following closely behind.

Upon entering the city, they immediately saw a scene that shocked all the demons and monsters.

Inside the city, people were coming and going, bustling about; it was clear this had once been a lively and prosperous city. But regardless of age or gender, everyone seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell, standing perfectly still. More importantly, they no longer had any breath of life, their eyes dull; they were clearly nothing more than shells without any essence.

No!

They were not even shells.

Yu Liancheng flicked his sleeve, stirring up a violent gust of wind that instantly swept through every part and every corner of this county town.

Subsequently, an even more terrifying scene appeared: the hundreds of people on the street before them suddenly crumbled into dust, and from the dust, a mass of Demon energy drifted out, disappearing into the heavens and earth in the blink of an eye.

"As expected, they are all dead." Yu Liancheng shook his head. "Whether human, bird, beast, or even plant, all these living things have been infected by the Demon energy and turned into dust."

Hearing Yu Liancheng's words, the demons behind him all changed color.

Although the legend of the Yinshi Youquan was terrifying, most demons still did not take it to heart, believing that no matter how strong the Yinshi Youquan was, it would only destroy the mountains and rivers of the human world; how could it possibly affect the Demon Realm? And the demons in the Demon Realm had bodies stronger than humans; even if it could reach them, it had never been able to wipe them out.

But seeing this scene before them, they could not help but change color one after another.

"Is this the Demon energy of the Yinshi Youquan? Truly terrifying." Qiye's expression was solemn.

"I hope we can suppress the Demon energy again, otherwise the three realms will be destroyed in an instant," said Jing Wuyuan.

"This eruption of the Yinshi Youquan is extraordinary; it requires the righteous and demonic paths to join forces to suppress it." After Yu Liancheng finished this sentence, he suddenly let go of the reins and reached for the Yixi Sword at his waist.

"However, it seems Golden Light Sect does not have much interest in joining forces."

Twelve brilliant and dazzling rays of Jinguang suddenly lit up from the void in all directions of the street, forming a cage of Sword Qi that sharpened the heavens and earth, cutting even the air with a hissing sound, intending to hack Yu Liancheng, who was at the center of the Sword Qi, into pieces.

Facing these twelve extremely dazzling rays of Sword Qi Jinguang, Yu Liancheng let out a cold snort, and a brilliant, peerless blood-colored sword light erupted from his hand; the majestic and vast Sword Qi instantly shattered all the sword light. Twelve streaks of blood light appeared, and twelve corpses fell from the sky, all of them decapitated.

"They are death warriors of the Xuanxin Sect."

Jing Wuyuan glanced at the clothing on the corpses and sneered, "The Xuanxin Sect prides itself on being the leader of the righteous path, yet it still trains death warriors and treats human life like grass; I see they are no different from our Yinyue Dynasty."

"Wrong, wrong." Just then, a clear and bright voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. It was the leader of the Xuanxin Sect, Golden Light, leading the Xuanxin Four Generals and a group of Xuanxin disciples as they walked toward Yu Liancheng and the others. "They are not death warriors, but warriors and righteous men with firm and unwavering faith in the righteous path, who do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to seek the Dao and defend the righteous path of the human world."

"Your so-called righteous path is still as hypocritically nauseating as ever." Jing Wuyuan shook his head.

"Hmph, your so-called demonic path cannot understand that great and noble faith at all." A cold sneer appeared on Golden Light's fair and handsome face, and his gaze turned back to Yu Liancheng. "National Master Yu, you are a dignified National Master of a country; why are you mingling with the Yinyue Dynasty? Could it be that you have also fallen into the demonic path?"

"Wrong." Yu Liancheng shook his head and smiled slightly. "It is not that I have fallen into the demonic path, but that I am now the King of Ten Thousand Demons, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Monsters. Besides National Master Yu, you may also address me as Holy Monarch Yu."

"Holy Monarch Yu!?" Golden Light's pupils constricted.

"Correct, Holy Monarch Yu."
