Chapter 217 This treasure is destined for me
During his time with Yan Chixia, Lin Yu had already learned the origin of the Xuanyuan Sword.

It is certainly not the genuine article from the Yellow Emperor, but a replica made by the First Emperor after he unified the world using the last piece of copper from Shoushan.

However, because this sword belonged to a holy king and was incompatible with the First Emperor, it was sealed in the treasury.

Later, when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and Xiang Yu burned Xianyang, the Xuanyuan Sword disappeared.

When Yan Chixia found it, it was in the hands of the statue of Zhenwu the Great, receiving incense offerings from all living beings.

Before this, Yan Chixia knew nothing about the history of the Xuanyuan Sword or who it had been handled.

That's why, after Lin Yu appeared, Yan Chixia thought he might be the former master of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Lin Yu was happy to accept this, and no matter how Yan Chixia guessed, he refused to reveal his true experiences.

After all, he didn't know enough about the Xuanyuan Sword at that time. If he really pretended to be the former sword master, he would easily be exposed in front of the current sword master.

But it’s different now!

Thanks to Yan Chixia's cultivation technique, Lin Yu has been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon during this period, continuously refining the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Today, he has mastered all the abilities of the Xuanyuan Sword.

This also includes the incense offerings from all living beings that were absorbed when the statue of Zhenwu the Great was in his hands!

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a sword cry like a dragon's roar, rays of golden light burst forth from Lin Yu's body, like a sun rising from the netherworld, sweeping outwards in all directions with overwhelming force.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light swept across the vanguard of the ghost soldiers below.

Wherever it went, all kinds of ghosts and monsters twisted and disappeared in an instant, like ice and snow melting under the scorching sun.

Especially those weaker ghost soldiers, faced with the sweeping golden light, didn't even utter a scream or a wail before being reduced to ashes in the dazzling golden light.

"Chichi-"

The dense black mist hissed as it was burned by the golden light.

Countless ghosts twisted and deformed in the golden light, then vanished completely.

In an instant, a third of the vast army of ghost soldiers covering the mountains and plains was wiped out by the golden light.

Looking from above, the densely packed army of ghost soldiers resembled a stain on a black canvas, with a blank space erased by golden light, leaving a semi-circular arc.

Upon seeing this, the ghost soldiers behind them paused, their faces filled with terror.

Yan Chixia stared wide-eyed at the scene, both astonished and delighted.

No wonder Lin Yu dared to lead him into the underworld. With such a majestic aura that can restrain all evil, not to mention a makeshift ghost army, even the real army of the underworld would have to avoid its sharp edge!
Lin Yu's body hovered in mid-air, radiating golden light without restraint. His pair of dark eyes stared directly at the skull formed from ghostly energy and black mist above the army, and he spoke calmly:
"You mere ghost, how dare you look down upon me?"

Before he finished speaking, beams of golden light surged forth, condensing into a dazzling golden giant sword in the sky behind him.

The next second, Lin Yu casually waved his hand, and the golden giant sword shot out instantly, like a golden beam of light, piercing through the skull formed by black mist and heading towards the towering black mountain in front of him.

Golden light spread, and the enormous skull, as big as a small mountain, trembled incessantly before exploding into a cloud of black mist with a loud bang.

The ghostly energy dissipated and evaporated in the golden light, affecting the ghost soldiers below, who let out mournful howls as their bodies dissipated into ghostly energy.

"what?!"

The golden giant sword shot towards them with undiminished force, and the Tree Demon Granny, her face filled with terror, hurriedly retreated to the vicinity of the carriage.

The eighteen ghost generals guarding the carriage roared angrily, their eyes flickering with ghostly fire. They swung their halberds forward, riding their skeletal warhorses through the air, the tips of their halberds pointing directly at the golden sword light attacking from the front.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the ghost general who had been flying through the air was crushed by the golden giant sword.

But the ghost generals behind him remained unmoved, continuing to rush forward and block the golden light.

One, two, three...

In just over ten seconds, a total of seventeen ghost generals were annihilated in the golden light.

The golden greatsword dimmed considerably as a result, and it remained locked in a stalemate with the last ghost general in the air.

Perhaps feeling the time was right, or perhaps feeling sorry for the seventeen trusted confidants who had died so easily, the tall ghostly figure in the carriage finally made a move for the first time ever.

Suddenly, he waved his hand, and a sinister black aura emanated from the carriage, transforming into a giant hand reaching for the golden sword.

"Click——"

Black energy spread, and cracks appeared on the surface of the golden giant sword.

The giant black hand clenched its fist and actually crushed the golden greatsword to pieces.

The shattered sword blade transformed into specks of golden light, which dissipated and vanished in the air...

Seeing this, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the tall ghostly figure in the carriage on Black Mountain, and then turned his gaze back to the remaining ghost general walking on air in front of him.

"Judging from your aura, you are dignified and upright, so you must be a registered and legitimate ghost messenger."

Lin Yu said calmly, "For righteous gods like you to actually obey the orders of the Black Mountain Demon, it seems that the Netherworld is indeed as I thought, overrun by demons and ghosts everywhere!"

"..."

The ghost general remained silent, merely concealing his ghostly aura. He brandished his long spear and, looking somewhat disheveled, strode through the air.

Lin Yu sighed, waved his right hand, and another golden giant sword condensed behind him, shooting forward.

Upon seeing this, not only the Tree Demon Granny, but even Yan Chixia, who was watching the show below, was startled.

What the hell?
Wasn't this supposed to be a powerful attack?

Judging from the way the ghost generals kept coming forward, he thought Lin Yu wouldn't be able to unleash a second one anytime soon!

"Indeed, the wicked must be tormented by the wicked!"

"Even if you are one foot superior in virtue, you can't withstand this old monster's ten feet superior in evil!"

Yan Chixia grinned maliciously, then turned his gaze and locked onto the terrified tree demon on Black Mountain.

At the same time, a golden sword light ripped through the sky, passing over the skeleton ghost general almost without hesitation. The Black Mountain Demon could no longer sit still; he immediately stirred up a thick black mist filled with ghostly energy and rode it into the sky.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a torrent of black mist, accompanied by the wails of countless wronged souls, which transformed into a giant black hand to meet the golden sword light that was hurtling towards him.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the black giant hand and the golden giant sword collided in mid-air.

As the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, the black mist hissed as it was burned by the golden light, while the golden light gradually dissipated under the erosion of the black mist.

"Not bad, you've got something."

Lin Yu looked appreciative as his body floated forward, surrounded by golden light.

With this action, the sweeping golden light continued to advance forward.

Under the dazzling golden light, all the ghosts that had been swept away disintegrated and vanished.

Seeing this, the remaining ghost soldiers lost their will to resist and fled in terror.
In an instant, the entire Black Plain was filled with the howling of wolves and the scurrying of ghosts as ghost soldiers fled in all directions.

Enraged by this, the Black Mountain Demon roared, and billowing black mist surged from his body, covering the entire Black Plain.

As the black mist emerged, the giant black hand gradually solidified.

The golden giant sword on the other side was slightly weakened and was eventually completely swallowed by the black mist, disintegrating into streaks of golden light.

After crushing the golden giant sword, the Black Mountain Demon did not press his advantage. Instead, he hovered in the air, enveloped in black mist, his ghostly eyes beneath his black robe fixed on Lin Yu opposite him.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Seeing that no one was around, Lin Yu dropped the pretense and immediately said without any politeness, "None of your business!"

The Black Mountain Demon's face darkened, and he said in a sinister tone, "I respect your methods, yet you are so rude. Do you really think I don't have the means to control you?"

"None of my business!"

"you……"

The Black Mountain Demon was furious, clearly having been broken down by those two simple sentences.

However, his cultivation over the past thousand years has not been in vain; even though his defenses were breached, he did not immediately launch an attack.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Does Your Excellency truly wish to be my enemy?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

The Black Mountain Demon was slightly taken aback, then his heart leaped with joy. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Yu continue, "If you give me your cultivation techniques and all your power, along with your territory and army, I might be able to spare your life!"

What the hell is left for him?!

The Black Mountain Demon was enraged and finally couldn't hold back any longer, stirring up the black mist and roaring:
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll make you my first meal after my transformation!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Black Mountain Demon roared and exploded into a cloud of black mist.

...what do you mean?
Lin Yu opened his eyes wide, staring at the black mist in front of him with a look of astonishment.

He wanted to see what tricks the Black Mountain Demon had up his sleeve, but he never expected that the guy would actually self-destruct!

Just then, the black hill below suddenly began to shake violently.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and looked down, only to see the Black Mountain rumbling and trembling incessantly.

Huge cracks suddenly burst forth from the mountainside and spread rapidly along its slopes.

"boom!"

In the next instant, Black Mountain crumbled, and a colossal black city slowly rose from the crack, revealing its true form.

The towering city walls are covered with mottled black stone bricks, interspersed with black skulls and withered bones. Densely packed ghost soldiers guard the city streets and walls, carrying green ghost lanterns and holding soul-binding chains that swallow ghost whips.

Dense black mist rose from the ghost soldiers, gathering in mid-air to form a black curtain that blotted out the sky.

The wails of countless vengeful ghosts, the cracking of chains and whips, and the weeping of wronged souls echoed between heaven and earth.

The fleeing ghost soldiers seemed to have found their leader and rushed towards the city.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the gate decorated with white bones.

Above the door, three large, dark characters were prominently engraved—

The City of the Wrongfully Dead!
No wonder the Black Mountain Demon talked about being reborn, and no wonder those genuine ghost messengers had to obey his orders. It turns out that he had already abandoned his Black Mountain body and refined this infamous City of the Unjustly Dead!

"Hahaha!"

"I, the Imperial Guard, am here. You ignorant coward, why don't you surrender immediately?"

A wild laugh echoed from the City of the Dead, reverberating like thunder throughout the heavens and earth.

Sensing the terrifying, vast ghostly aura and hearing the deafening, arrogant laughter, Yan Chixia, who was searching for the tree demon amidst the chaos of battle, couldn't help but feel despair, thinking that he was probably really going to be doomed this time.

Just then, a loud laugh, even more arrogant than that of the Black Mountain Demon, came from the sky.

Yan Chixia was slightly taken aback, then quickly turned to look, only to see Lin Yu beaming with joy, clapping his hands and laughing:
"Good good!"

"It's actually the City of the Wrongfully Dead!"

"Treasures have always belonged to the capable. This city is destined to belong to me, and it is fitting that it changes hands today!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu waved his hand, and an even more dazzling golden light surged out, condensing into thousands of golden phantoms in the sky behind him, no less impressive than the two giant swords from before.

Countless golden giant swords were densely arranged in the sky, aimed at the City of the Dead below.

The laughter from the City of the Unjustly Dead abruptly ceased, and Yan Chixia's thoughts also stopped turning, staring blankly at the golden sword shadow that almost covered the entire sky.

...What the heck?!
Is this also a way to use and utilize the Xuanyuan Sword?

What were those things he used before? Fire pokers?!
