Chapter 166 The War Drums Never Cease, The Drought Demon Meets the Mad Dragon

On Ping Mountain, the righteous path members who had retreated from the Battle of Han Hai were recuperating, while Buddha Sword Fen Shuo explained to everyone what Aniruddha had seen.

"What? The Otherworld is alive? And can move freely?" Jin Bazhen exclaimed in surprise upon hearing what Buddha Sword said.

"Given the fact that the Otherworld can transfer its entrances and exits, this is possible, but such a thing is too far-fetched." Tan Wuyu's expression was solemn. Although he had seen the true form of the Otherworld in this battle, it seemed to offer limited assistance to the troops attempting to break through the Otherworld head-on.

Lian Emei, who was standing to the side, finished her meditation and regained some color in her pale face. She slowly said, "The Otherworld Demon Realm exists in a special space. Perhaps there are special features that we cannot imagine. Hmm, besides that, what other special features are there?"

"The Demon Realm is shaped like a giant dragon, with a red dot in the middle," Buddha Sword Recalls. Tan Wuyu, who is standing next to him, brings paper and pen and asks Buddha Sword Recall to draw the shape of the Demon Dragon of the Otherworld.

Looking at the shape drawn by Buddha Sword, Tan Wuyu pointed to the dragon's head and said, "Judging from this layout, the entrance to the Otherworld should be the dragon's mouth."

“That red dot might be the key,” Lian Emei said. “Once my injuries have healed a bit, I might try to attack this place to test the Demon Realm’s reaction.”

“This plan is feasible.” Tan Wuyu nodded and said, “But the most urgent thing is for you to recover your strength as soon as possible. The Otherworld will not let go of the opportunity when you are injured. They will definitely launch the next wave of attacks soon. This battle will be very difficult. I think we can abandon the stronghold of the Realm of Nothingness.”

In the previous battle in the vast sea, even Tan Wuyu did not expect that the other side would still have the strength to launch a surprise attack on Wuzhijing. If it weren't for Wudao's presence, Yanmo Hanba might have succeeded. During this period of time, Tianxian Daozang and everyone else had developed a considerable friendship. If he were to be killed, it would undoubtedly be a great blow to the morale of everyone.

Now that the Boundless Realm has been exposed as a stronghold, coupled with the unpredictable attacks from the Otherworld Demon Realm, holding on would only become a weakness for the righteous path. Pingshan, as a righteous path, also needs to be constantly vigilant to prevent the Otherworld Demon Realm from launching a forceful attack with overwhelming military superiority. After much deliberation, abandoning the Boundless Realm may be the best solution.

“There’s no problem with doing it this way,” Kim Ba-jin readily agreed.

The righteous path is able to gather its forces at Ping Mountain, which will provide considerable protection for Lian Emei's safety, especially given that Lian Emei is still recovering from serious injuries.

“Yes, Yama Hanba will definitely attack Pingshan,” Buddha Sword Fen Shuo agreed.

“Tan Wuyu, I understand that you mean well, and Lian Emei will not refuse. However, in the current situation, there is another matter that requires your attention to investigate.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Wuyu frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

Lian Emei then slowly nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed the strange phenomenon of Blood Moon and Tears of the Sun. It seems that the Otherworld may have some means to slightly manipulate these two celestial phenomena. But excluding this possibility, since the celestial phenomena appeared, the gravity and earth energy of the Bitter Realm have been continuously affected. This matter should not be taken lightly."

"I understand. I will begin gathering information and conducting an investigation shortly. As for the main battlefield, I will leave it to you, Master and everyone else."

"As long as the Buddha's teachings are in effect, evil spirits will not be allowed to run rampant."

"Thank you all for your trouble." Tan Wuyu bowed and then turned to head down Ping Mountain.

……

……

Just as the righteous side was making intensive preparations to deal with the attack from the otherworldly demon realm, the Sin Pit, filled with heinous crimes, was shrouded in dark clouds and covered by demonic energy. It was the otherworldly demon realm that had arrived. Outside the Sin Pit, the villains, as if they had known all along, gave a grand welcome. A bright red carpet was laid out, and there was a great commotion of gongs and drums and firecrackers. It was more like a wedding than a welcoming party.

Yama Hanba was not surprised at all by the scene before him. During his previous meeting at Pingshan, he had sensed that the Lord of the Sin Pit was not an ordinary person, so it was not surprising that he would set up such a scene. He strode forward and walked forward surrounded by evil people. However, when Yama Hanba reached the end of the carpet, he saw that there was a wall in front of him with only a small door in the middle.

"Hmm?" Yama, the Drought Demon, exuded a chilling aura. A villain hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Pit of Sin is a place where villains gather. The entrance is narrow and low, too small for Your Majesty's imposing stature. Please, Your Majesty, bend down and enter."

"Oh?"

The Demon Lord neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a three-foot-long protective aura that passed through the wall, the powerful shockwave knocking over many villains present.

"With the arrival of this Demon Lord, the Pit of Sin will no longer need any side entrances!"

The villain standing to the side chuckled awkwardly, but had no choice but to make a thumbs-up gesture with his hand. "The Demon Lord is indeed quite imposing, please!"

Inside the Pit of Sin, in the main hall, Mad Dragon Laughing, wearing a strangely shaped hat, had been waiting for a long time.

"Reporting to the chief criminal, our distinguished guest has arrived."

"Ah, Little Baba, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!" With that, the Mad Dragon laughed and looked at the others beside him. "Hey, you country bumpkins really don't know any manners. Hurry up and prepare a chair for the Demon Lord."

"Yes, yes, as you command."

The villains from the Sinful Pit quickly brought over a chair for Yama Hanba to sit on. Yama Hanba sat down calmly, and then the Mad Dragon laughed and said, "Little Dragon, I heard that my elder sister opened up the mountain and invaded the Demon Realm with great momentum. Seeing that you are safe, I am relieved."

"Sister?" A strange light flashed in Yama Hanba's eyes.

Although he had discerned a connection between Kuanglong Yishengxiao and Lian Emei during the previous battle at Pingshan, he never imagined it would be this kind of relationship.

but……

Judging from Kuanglong's frenzied state and Lian Emei's attitude that day, it was clear that even if these two were siblings, their relationship was probably...

Kuanglong laughed maniacally, "Yes, yes, Xiaomei is my own sister. How about it? Aren't you envious? But it's no use being envious. I won't share Xiaomei with anyone else."

"What do you think of this mutually beneficial cooperation?" Yama Hanba didn't dwell on this point further, but instead asked.

"Cooperation?" Mad Dragon chuckled, touching the corner of his hat. "Cooperation what?"

"We share the same interests and the same goals. What do you think about joining the Emei sect?"

"Oh?" Kuanglong chuckled and winked, looking into Yanmo Hanba's eyes. "As long as the Demon Realm doesn't mess with the Sinful Pit, everything is negotiable. As for Xiaomeimei, she's mine. You're not allowed to touch her, or else..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Yama Hanba's eyes sharpened, while Kuanglong laughed, his face still bearing a smile that obscured his true thoughts.
