Chapter 198 Lishan
It's too late to say, then soon!
A demon immortal dressed in a dark blue robe seized the initiative, swooping down like a hawk and unleashing three swirling blades of light, aiming to kill Li Shimin.

In order to protect the "Headband Curse," Tang Xuanci was severely injured in just one exchange. Two extremely deep cuts were made in the devilish muscles of his shoulders and back.

Fortunately, the two rogue immortals who arrived later were clearly not of the same ilk, and they immediately launched a sneak attack on each other and started fighting.

The blue-robed demonic assassin, with his attributes maxed out, remotely manipulated his blade to circle back, intending to attack Tang Xuanci from behind once more.

However, at that moment, another mage shot a magical weapon from afar, nearly blowing his head off and interrupting his skill.

In just a short while, more than a dozen immortals and demons rushed to Tang Xuanci's vicinity, and countless other figures appeared on the outer perimeter, engaging in a group battle.

Among them were those who wanted to kill him, those who wanted to kill Li Shimin, and those who wanted to capture him alive.

Some even went so far as to randomly unleash area-of-effect skills, attempting to kill Tang Xuanci, Li Shimin, the enemy, and even their teammates all at once.

Seeing that danger was imminent and it was all over.

Fortunately, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and an iron headgear with a Yin-Yang Ghost Mask suddenly appeared in the chaos!

He was less than 1.5 meters tall, but his combat power was at least one million. In the blink of an eye, he had already severed three heads with his Qingfeng sword.

He moved close to Tang Xuanci's side, forming the Great Luo Golden Light Seal with one hand, easily blocking all AOE damage.

He then flashed, leaving behind three streaks of azure light that instantly killed the four people nearby.

He then threw the sword back, knocking away the swirling blades that pierced the head of the blue-robed demon immortal.

He secured eight kills, achieving godlike status.

The other immortals and demons who noticed this scene were all shocked.

The Buddhist monks in black gloves thought to themselves, "Good heavens! The Taoist sect actually has such a powerful figure within the Tang Dynasty, and he arrived so quickly. Could the face under that iron mask be some kind of Great Immortal?"
The Taoists in black gloves thought to themselves, "Good heavens, who is this guy? Wearing a Taoist robe, and you're killing your own people?"
Although my brain was a bit off, my body reacted quickly, immediately becoming cautious and intentionally distancing itself from this expert.

Taking advantage of the gap in the encirclement, Tang Xuanci immediately accelerated and sped away.

Mount Li is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, not far from Chang'an, even a little closer than the former Xianyang city.

But the closer they got to the foot of Mount Li, the more black gloves appeared.

In the end, there were at least fifty people above the Immortal Realm, and countless people at the Nascent Soul Realm!
Even the City God of Chang'an, who was stationed at the border of his jurisdiction, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene from afar. He realized that there were so many gangsters within the Tang Dynasty's borders, and he had underestimated them before.

Among the immortals and demons, there were a few with exceptional supernatural powers. When the battle broke out, even the Iron-Headed Taoist Priest was having trouble keeping up.

Tang Xuanci was covered in wounds, his left arm was shattered, and there was a large hole in his abdomen, with his internal organs almost falling to the ground.

But he still protected his elder brother with all his might, a piece of his intestines dangling behind him, as he ran desperately!
Finally, he ran into Mount Li. There he saw:
The mountains are shrouded in mist and rain, a scene resembling a fairyland.

This place has been blessed with natural beauty and natural wonders since ancient times, and it is said that the First Emperor's mausoleum is buried here.

People saw that even Qin Shi Huang went up this mountain every day, so they knew how wonderful this mountain was.

Little did people know that he was able to become Qin Shi Huang precisely because he was able to climb this mountain.

The black-gloved men, blinded by rage and focused solely on completing their mission, and seeing the overwhelming numbers and chaotic situation, chased after the enemy into the mountains without hesitation.

Suddenly a sound rang out, like a whirlwind echoing through a valley, like a demonic chant entering the mind:
"Who dares to cause trouble at Mount Li? Get out of here immediately, or you will be punished for trespassing on a sacred mountain!"

Everyone was startled, realizing that the entire mountain seemed to be covered in a dark red blood color, and countless ravens appeared in the sky, with no indication of where they came from.

Out of caution, most people stopped and slowed down their pursuit of Tang Xuanci;
However, more than a dozen immortals and demons were still fighting while moving around, destroying mountains and forests, with an impact on a very wide area.

"presumptuous!"

With a cold snort, dozens of ravens circling in the air suddenly transformed into black flames and attacked several immortals and demons who were fighting.

Two immortals were caught off guard and were approached by the fire crow. One of them was engulfed in flames and plummeted into the valley with a scream.

One of them had only his right arm on fire. Although he tried to extinguish the flames with his magic, he could not do so. He had no choice but to decisively sever his own arm to save his life.

All the immortals and demons stopped fighting, separated into small groups, and stared intently at the open space surrounded by peaks.

An elderly woman dressed in palace attire stood amidst a dozen or so people, riding on clouds. Who else could it be but the Old Mother of Lishan?
However, today's mother is quite different from what I've heard or remembered.

Although she had a full head of silver hair and wrinkles on her face, she still looked plump, with her old breasts heavy but not droopy, soft but not collapsed.

"Immortal Ying, that demonic monk massacred Chang'an and even captured the Tang Emperor. Does Mount Li intend to protect him?!"

Seeing Tang Xuanci lead Li Shimin into the deep valley in an instant, the leader with the highest cultivation level in the Buddhist faction couldn't help but shout.

He immediately led the two forward to negotiate, using telepathy to tell the Old Mother of Lishan not to be swayed by the monks but by the Buddha, and to refrain from opposing the Western Paradise and the South Sea!

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the names of Buddha and Guanyin, the Old Mother of Lishan did not hesitate for even a second. Instead, with a hint of anger on her face, she replied:

"With the Emperor of the Great Tang here, I cannot allow you to run amok. Get out of the mountain immediately!"

The leader of the Buddhist sect had a gloomy expression, his mind racing. He felt that the Bodhisattva's messenger had already anticipated that Tang Xuanci might run towards Mount Li, so there were significantly fewer people from the Taoist side at present.

There is still a chance.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful aura and commanded in a thunderous voice:
"The spiritual veins of Mount Li were severed more than 800 years ago, so there is nothing to fear here."

"Attack together! Whoever kills Li Shimin will be rewarded with a six-stage golden pill; whoever captures Tang Xuanci will be rewarded with a seven-stage golden pill!"

"If the task is accomplished, everyone else can live forever!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Taoist sect, not to be outdone, immediately dropped the pretense and retorted:
"...Whoever kills Tang Xuanci will be rewarded with an Eight-Turn Golden Elixir..."

Upon hearing this, the group of black-gloved men were all fired up again and continued their pursuit into the deep valley where Tang Xuanci had run into.

But then they heard the Old Mother of Lishan coldly call out:

"Great Sage Sun, didn't you come here to ask for a Golden Elixir? Help me subdue this group of wicked demons, and I'll give you a First-Rank Golden Elixir."

Ah this?

The Monkey King?

Although the group of black-gloved individuals were prepared to encounter Sun Wukong, they were still taken aback upon hearing this.

A rough, high-pitched voice, tinged with a childlike quality, immediately rang out from the deep valley:

"Oh? Are you serious about this?"

"I never break a promise."

"Alright, alright, I've been itching to use my skills, so I'll just play around with these sticks."

A small, thin figure somersaulted and landed beside the Old Mother of Lishan. It was the monkey who had removed its iron head, taken off its Taoist robe, and even taken a bath to get rid of the smell of blood.

Because it was afraid of revealing its identity, it couldn't go all out. It was also worried that something might happen to Tang Xuanci. It was really holding back some resentment!
But now it's different.

Although Mount Li is very close to Chang'an, it is also private land—similar to some mansions and royal gardens next to the Xuanci Mother Star Palace.

Now that these people have trespassed without authorization and do not have the status of celestial beings, according to the Heavenly Laws, the Old Mother of Lishan has unlimited right of defense.

Killing them is right; not killing them is tragic!

Hiring thugs to do the work is like beavers and tortoises.
