Strange Stories

Chapter 601: Purple Emperor Takes Action
Lin Jue took a step forward and was outside Yishan.

However, the hot spring had been dried up by the heavenly fire, and the reeds had been burned to ashes. Only a burning forest was left in the distance and a small lavender wild flower was nearby.

So he bent down and plucked out the floret.

The true gods, divine generals and warships inside were all gone.

Suddenly a voice sounded in my ears:

"You actually managed to hold back Lord Fuchi and invite Lady Yaohua here! It's a pity that Lady Yaohua seems to be in trouble. Otherwise, as long as the other emperors don't make a move, we should have a chance of winning!"

It came from that dense forest.

Lin Jue turned around and waved his sleeves.

Whoosh! The flames in the forest were like candle flames, they tilted to the side and went out, leaving only smoke drifting in the wind.

"I'm glad that you're okay, Senior."

"That's not right! How can I be fine after being burned by fire? It's just that I'm protected by your magic power, so it's not a big deal!"

The voice in the forest said, paused, and continued to talk about the business:
"However, the Purple Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven after all. It is not necessarily a good thing for you to invite Lady Yaohua out now. This may give him a reason to invite other emperors. Moreover, the Purple Emperor has great magical powers. He has been in power in the Nine Heavens for 170 years. He exterminates demons and monsters every 60 years. Now it is approaching the third time. Exterminating demons and monsters has attracted a lot of incense from the human world. With the nourishment of incense, even if you and Lady Yaohua join forces, you may not be able to win, let alone face his authority as the Emperor of Heaven."

"Has the avenue of Empress Yaohua been damaged?"

"Don't you see that there are only eight tails behind Lady Yaohua?"

"..."

Lin Jue looked up immediately.

As expected—

The woman looked at Fuyao, and there were eight tails behind her.

This made him frown.

"If you really want to defeat the Purple Emperor, I have a spell that may be of slight help."

"Ok?"

What spell can be used against a Celestial Emperor?
"This spell cannot be used before a fight, otherwise it will anger him. It cannot be used during a fight, otherwise it may drive him crazy. It can only be used when you have the upper hand or are close to winning."

"Why is this?"

"That happened more than two thousand years ago. Only a spirit like me who has lived long enough can know a little bit about it..."

A voice came into Lin Jue's ears.

After listening to this, Lin Jue thought for a moment.

A few words of conversation are just a snap of the fingers.

Then he took a step forward and reached the sky.

The eight-tailed white fox immediately turned its head, and its eyes lit up when it saw him. It then took a step in the air, running on the wind, its body light and graceful. While running, it turned its head to look at the woman in the distance, until it stopped beside him, still standing in the air, staring at that place with strange and seriousness.

The woman also looked at Lin Jue.

All the True Lords of the sky, spiritual officials, and heavenly soldiers and generals also looked over.

The senior and junior brothers and sisters from Fuqiu Temple, Taoist Xuanming, Taoist Bailuan, Taoist Moyu and several guardians from Fengshan all gathered towards him. Even the guardian of the mountain god came over to him. Everyone had injuries, some minor and some serious, but they were all recovering quickly under a divine power that had healing properties.

The Yishan battlefield was in complete silence at this time.

"Greetings to Empress Yaohua." Lin Juexian bowed to Empress Yaohua, "I finally get to see you."

"You're welcome." Lady Yaohua said calmly, "I didn't expect you could actually stop Lord Fuchi."

"It's just a fluke."

Lin Jue said, and then looked at the people around him:

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay." The younger sister came out first and said, "There was the protection of the mountain god in front, and later the barrier was broken, and the fifth brother's divine power secretly healed, so there is no serious problem."

"If the Purple Emperor hadn't taken action, it would be hard to say who would have won!" said the third senior brother.

"Fellow Daoist is finally here." Taoist Master Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"That's good."

Lin Jue nodded and looked up at the sky again.

The gods in the sky were also watching him.

"My fellow True Lords, Spiritual Officials, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Purple Emperor has lost the hearts of the people by his tyrannical behavior. You are all virtuous people. It is not easy to become a god or an immortal. You do not need to fight for your lives. Moreover, you alone cannot fight against me and Empress Yaohua. Those who are willing to retreat may do so."

Immediately, the true gods, generals, and great immortals looked at each other.

What made them wary was not only Master Lin and Lady Yaohua, but also Master Fuchi who went to intercept Master Lin. In the end, Master Lin came back but he did not.

He is the number one war god in the nine heavens.

The Long Snake God held up his sword and shouted:
"Great Master Lin! I respect you for conquering demons and helping the human world, but I never thought you would be associated with the Great Saint of the Demon Clan! Are you going to help the demons replace the human world and the Nine…"

Empress Yaohua looked at him calmly and waved her finger.

Brush it!
The mighty head of the Long Snake God disappeared, and was replaced by a stone tiger head, like the stone tiger head at the gate of the Zixiao Palace in the capital.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Qingtian came out and said:
"Please return my staff to me, Master."

Lin Jue looked at the fellow brothers and sisters around him.

Senior Brother Seven waved his sleeves, and a magic staff to subdue demons flew out and flew back into the hands of Lord Qingtian.

"I have been fighting fiercely for half a year and have been seriously injured. My divine power has also been severely depleted. This place is too far from the west and it is difficult to replenish it. I am really unable to fight again."

Qingtian Zhenjun took the staff and immediately flew up to the sky, standing with Qingmiao Zhenjun who was higher up. He also took the Emperor's will into consideration and did not leave directly, but he also made his position clear and said he was unable to fight anymore. Also flying up to the sky and leaving the battlefield were a group of heavenly soldiers and generals that he brought with him.

As a true warrior under the command of the Western Miaoming Emperor, he has done his best to be able to achieve this because of an order from the Emperor of Heaven.

"Please return my sword to me, Master."

Senior Brother Seven waved his sleeves again and a golden knife flew into the hands of True Lord Qingmiao.

The two True Lords both took a stance of watching the battle.

……

At this moment, above the Nine Heavens, all the gods felt a sinking heart. They turned their heads to see the expression of the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor was no longer there.

When I looked at the celestial mirror again, it had also gone dark.

"Where did your Majesty go?"

"Your Majesty hates evil and must have gone to the human world."

"Quickly summon the Western Miaoming Emperor and the Eastern Qinghua Emperor, tell them that Empress Yaohua has returned, and ask them to help."

"..."

On Mount Yishan on earth, there was a loud thunder as if the sky was collapsing. Even the heavenly soldiers and generals could not help but cover their ears as if their ears were about to be shattered.

The entire sky was filled with clouds and wind, as if it had become a curtain, revealing the face of an emperor dressed in purple and wearing a crown. He looked extremely majestic, as if he occupied the entire sky and overlooked the entire world.

All the great True Lords, Spiritual Officials, Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals saluted toward the heaven.

A voice like thunder sounded:

"Yaohua... haven't seen you for many years..."

"Purple Emperor." Empress Yaohua said calmly, "It seems that you have followed in the footsteps of Emperor Ming."

"You were shattered by Emperor Ming Tianweng, your cultivation was abolished, and your nine tails were cut off. Now you still dare to fight me?"

"Are we just going to sit there and wait for our demise?"

"Then destroy them in advance. Since you have revealed yourself, I will accompany you." The Purple Emperor said with a face that filled the sky. He turned his eyes and looked at Lin Jue again. "It is understandable that a real person in the human world associates with monsters, but now you are colluding with the Great Saint of the Monster Clan. This is a rebellion against the Nine Heavens and the human world. I must destroy you together."

"The way of the Emperor is just tyranny, not the right way." Lin Jue said, "What we are doing is just resisting tyranny."

"Humph! You were not born in ancient times, nor in the north. You have never seen great monsters enslaving people or evil demons swallowing the sky. How do you know what the right path is?"

The Purple Emperor's voice was deafening, but the Taoist responded calmly:
"So, the reason why the Emperor entered the Nine Heavens after I was born and there are no more great monsters raising people or evil demons swallowing the sky is also nothing to do with the Emperor and his behavior."

"You will know right from wrong."

"Nothing is right or wrong, and nothing can compare to my Fuyao."

"Where is the floating pond?"

Lin Jue did not say that Lord Fuchi was defeated by him, as that would be detrimental to Lord Fuchi's reputation, nor did he say that he was trapped by himself, lest the Nine Heavens Gods try every means to find him. He just said:

"He can't come."

"Humph!"

The Purple Emperor snorted coldly: "The powerful are fighting each other, and the lives of the people are suffering. Why don't you come to the Nine Heavens?"

Lin Jue looked at Empress Yaohua.

Empress Yaohua smiled slightly:
"Why not?"

The Purple Emperor said nothing, and the face in the sky disappeared.

In an instant, the five-colored divine light was dazzlingly bright. Empress Yaohua took a step forward, and with just one step, she reached the sky above.

Lin Jue also soared into the sky without hesitation.

When Fuyao was struggling, she suddenly heard a female voice:
"You come too."

It scratched its head, thought for a moment, and then took a step and ran vertically towards the sky.

It was getting colder and colder around me, with the sound of wind filling my ears. I couldn't remember how long I had been running or how high I had climbed. I only knew that there were layers of clouds in the sky. The white clouds closest to the earth were those brought by the gods, and they were very messy. The layer above that was a natural layer of clouds, with occasional high mountains peeking out. Going higher, there were more layers of clouds, but the clouds at this time were different.

Above the clouds, there are occasionally palaces, towers and government offices, and the gods are looking at them in horror.

There were nine layers of clouds like this.

Those were white clouds that spread out over thousands of miles, as vast and boundless as the sea, and as solid and undulating as the ground. The clouds in the distance piled up and formed a mountain. Going up along this cloud mountain, one could see a golden palace, which stood at the highest point of the nine-day clouds, with fairy music playing all the time and singing and dancing every day.

The three parties have already started fighting, causing the sun and moon to flicker frequently and the yin and yang to be unpredictable.

The fox saw Lin Jue at a glance, and also saw the woman with eight tails beside him.

Glancing across, he saw the Emperor standing with his hands behind his back.

The fox looked up at the sky again.

The sharp and pretty fox face was sometimes dark and sometimes pale, sometimes the hair was shining in the light, and sometimes it was plunged into darkness. The pair of eyes as pure as glass amber reflected the scorching sun in the sky, which was also moving at a very fast speed, sometimes falling to the west, and sometimes rising from the east.

It's just that its speed of falling to the west is obviously faster than its speed of rising from the east, so that in comparison, it seems difficult for it to rise in the east.

The fight at this time is a real fight.

Lin Jue stood at a distance and opened his mouth to blew.

"call……"

A gust of spring breeze blew across the sky and blew onto the Emperor.
