Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 812 Demon Chaos Across the Land
Thus, on the ruins of the Sixth Great Hell, a "peace negotiation" with a distinctly underworld flavor began.

The Black Mountain Demon's behavior was a prime example of "being able to bend and stretch"—

Three years ago, it was a dominant force, a tough and unyielding leader.
Three years later, it has evolved into a pragmatic player that asks, "What is face? Can you eat it?"

He immediately swore an oath to Heaven, his voice booming like a bell:
"I solemnly declare—I was not behind any of the previous conspiracies!"

"It was that damned bastard... (thousands of words of profanity omitted)... who did it!"

At the same time, he promised that his sphere of influence would not extend beyond the Sixth Great Prison, and that the so-called unification of the eighteen levels of hell and the conquest of Beiyin Mountain were all nonsense.

Perhaps they had such thoughts before, but they can no longer have them now. The ambition of a hegemon lasted only a few days from its inception to its end.

Finally, Black Mountain reluctantly parted with a portion of the Netherworld Cult Master's legacy, his heart bleeding as he handed over those bone fragments and jade slips that shimmered with ancient runes.

He roared inwardly, "I've been roasted alive by the sun's rays for over two years in the open ocean! And now they want to split me up?! I'm furious!!!"

And so, the underworld, which had been in turmoil for several days, finally returned to peace.

The Great Anathapindika King also broke free from the state of "fire rising from his head".

Its three ghostly faces were unusually unified at this moment, all wearing the same "doubting the existence of ghosts" expression.

Looking around, the Sixth Great Hell was a complete mess; bronze pillars lay fallen, the underworld soil cracked, and even the River of Oblivion had changed its course. A chaotic jumble of vengeful spirits from the Shady Mountain drifted about like a group of lost imps unable to find their way home; the remains of several unfortunate ghost kings still emitted wisps of smoke on the ground, utterly annihilated…

Suddenly, a thought struck me: "How come there are so many storms in this underworld all of a sudden?"

"Could this be the legendary 'calamity aura spreading throughout heaven and earth'?"

"Otherwise, why would I be so irritable?!"

After all, although it usually has a bad temper, it wouldn't be this impulsive.

When his gaze fell upon the dying Black Mountain Demon on the ground, King Anazha suddenly remembered his identity as a "half-Buddhist heretic".

It cultivates the Dharma Protector's Skill of Buddhism, although its cultivation is somewhat distorted, it can still be considered a semi-orthodox Ghost King.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Amitabha... Benefactor Heishan, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to."

Black Mountain Demon: "...Get lost."

At this point, Qilicha also followed the crowd and left the Sixth Great Hell, quietly returning to the mortal realm.

It felt a mix of emotions throughout the journey.

The fate of the Black Mountain Demon... was too tragic.

The mighty overlord of the underworld was first roasted into a skewer by the divine light of the sun's fire, then ganged up on until the mountain collapsed, and finally even his most treasured inheritance was forced to be given away to save his life...

"So, whether you're a human, a ghost, or a demon, never mess with those monsters who are 'born to face calamity'."

For example, a certain White Lotus Demon King...

"As the saying goes, 'The mind is never satisfied, and only desires more, thus increasing sins; Bodhisattvas are not like this, they always remember to be content, live in poverty and uphold the Way, and their only work is wisdom.'"

The Buddha's Discourse on the Eight Great Awakenings is truly excellent!

During this period, Qi Licha witnessed too many joys and sorrows with Xu Xuan, and also saw countless nameless angers.

It has seen mortals fall into the demonic path because of greed, and eventually their souls are scattered; it has also seen demons gain the opportunity to transcend because of a single good thought.

Gradually, I gained a deeper understanding of Buddhist scriptures, and I actually developed some of the qualities of a "guardian deity".

Of course, it is still a little inferior to its good brother, Qilishi.

That fool spends all his time squatting in the Bao'an Hall in Qiantang, peacefully protecting many newcomers, and his cultivation progresses rapidly. This is the difference between those on the path of cultivation.

Xu Xuan didn't have many feelings; he was thinking about something else at the moment.

It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage, not to be a famous scholar!
Black Mountain is in dire straits; it is time to strike!

As the first boss to appear, the Black Mountain Demon's "plot" and "character design" have evolved to their extreme.

From a tyrant of the underworld to a stray dog; from a desperate escape to a "triumphant return".

From "the return of the king" to being ganged up on until the mountain collapsed.

It has been hammered by the Pride of the Pure Land, plotted against by the Great Benevolent Xu, and even witnessed the entire army of the Ghost Kings of the Underworld mobilized.

It's still alive!

Such resilience, such a knack for surviving against all odds... even the White Lotus Demon King would have to be wary!

He squinted and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

"Even a powerful overlord like the Yin-Yang Dharma King can die, so why is Black Mountain still alive?"

Seeing this, Qi Licha became even more respectful. Our boss truly hasn't forgotten his original aspirations.

While Xu Xuan was scheming against others, someone was secretly watching him.

In the Shu region, deep within a secluded cave.

The blood pool churned and filled with a foul stench. The long-browed Taoist sat cross-legged on the pool, with the Haotian Mirror floating in front of him. The mirror's surface rippled like water, reflecting the trajectories of countless stars.

He made hand seals with his fingertips, continuously drawing spiritual energy from the Little Star Sea and pouring it into the mirror to deduce the secrets of heaven.

Stars shift, spiritual energy ebbs and flows, and the fortunes of dynasties change...

Countless complex data intertwined in the mirror, eventually transforming into a clear pattern that revolved around Yangzhou, seemingly spying on something.

The long eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

He didn't even dare to directly calculate Wu County, for fear of disturbing that being.

Of all Xu Xuan's enemies, Changmei was definitely the most cautious and cunning.

Because he knew very well that he was facing no ordinary cultivator at the third realm, but rather:

The ruler of a powerful force; a monster cursed with calamity; an abyss of unfathomable depth; the "singularity" of celestial calculations.

Even more terrifying was the blurry white figure that appeared in the Qiantang River in a fleeting glimpse.

As a leader of the righteous path, and also from the Shu region, he could guess who that person was.

Born in Qingcheng Mountain, Bai Suzhen was a disciple of Lishan.

I just didn't expect the other party's cultivation to be so incredibly high. What is the purpose of their stay in the mortal world?

What I didn't expect was why the other party would want to get involved with Xu Xuan. I could see that the monster was entangled in karma and couldn't escape it, so how could Bai Suzhen not see it?
The fog that shrouded the Qiantang River was terrifying.

"We cannot defeat them by force..."

Long-browed man took a deep breath, suppressing the chill in his heart.

"Only by relying on the secrets of heaven can we have a sliver of hope of victory..."

Gazing at the fading stars in the Haotian Mirror, his knuckles turned slightly white. The Three Heroes and Two Clouds were about to be born.

The transition between the old and new fortunes of Mount Shu will be his greatest tribulation!

If Xu Xuan cannot be dealt with before then, he may be forced to reincarnate and start over due to the backlash of his luck.

But in this life... he has no way out.

In his first life, he became a disciple of Master Chusanzi. Although he was exceptionally talented, he risked his life to vouch for his junior brother's sins and was thus reincarnated.

In his second life (this life), he cultivated swordsmanship and Taoism, studied the divination of heavenly secrets, and eventually became a grandmaster, even touching the threshold of the celestial realm...

But prosperity inevitably leads to decline.

If one is reborn a third time, Heaven will not give them another chance.

He would forever remain below the celestial beings, reduced to an ordinary mortal. Therefore, for the sake of his own path, he must become an immortal in this lifetime.

Therefore, it is understandable that the methods used are somewhat harsh.

Thinking of this, I glanced down at the bunch of useless, misfits below and felt a little tired.

Meanwhile, a row of evil spirits and heretics sat by the blood pool, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere was subtle and awkward.

The surviving demons had only one thought in their minds at this moment:
Damn it, how did things suddenly turn out like this?

Wasn't it supposed to be an era where the righteous would decline and the demons would rise, allowing us to roam freely? How come we've been thrown here in just a few days?

Could it be that this demonic cultivation has taken root in Long Eyebrows?

Besides the already deceased leader of the Tibetan Demon Sect, there was also the unlucky Green Robe and the leader of the Naked Demon Sect, all of whom had perished.

Most of the villains that Xu Xuan mentioned when he told Yan Chixia about the ten defeats and ten victories of Mount Shu are here.

The remaining five or six great demons meditated and glared at Xu Feiniang.

The resentment in her eyes was almost tangible: "It was this bitch who brought Longbrow here!"

Xu Feiniang, however, remained calm and composed, studying the "Wutai School Heart Sutra" that Changmei had personally revised, and was too lazy to pay any attention to these idiots.

She knew perfectly well: What time is it?

Three of the Five Demon Lords are dead, and these people are still thinking about fighting amongst themselves?

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

If you don't cling to a powerful figure now, are you just waiting to be exorcised?
Of course, there are benefits to seeking refuge first.

The Long-Browed Immortal was learned in both ancient and modern times, integrating the best and worst, and blending the righteous and the demonic. Even a few casual words of guidance were of immense benefit to Xu Feiniang.

She had lived for hundreds of years, and only now did she truly understand why the major righteous sects could become the mainstream of the world... This treatment was indeed comfortable!
Of course, the lifestyle is still a bit difficult to get used to.

For example, these demons who usually kill without hesitation and always eat "two-legged sheep" at their banquets are now sitting cross-legged, obediently absorbing spiritual energy.

Forget about blood food, there wasn't even a smell of blood anymore, and the once-pleasant aura of the evil blood pool was no longer foul.

It's practically a proper Buddhist temple.

I've been practicing Buddhism for hundreds of years, and I've never lived such a simple life before...

But wasn't that they were incorporated into the government?

All of Changmei's actions are aimed at breaking the shackles between heaven and man, so he will give up the old Shu Mountain and confront Xu Xuan for the sake of the Three Heroes and Two Clouds.

At the same time, it will also restrain the group of evil spirits and heretics he has recruited, lest they fail to cause trouble and instead leave him with weaknesses.

In this war, we are at a disadvantage.

Just then—Long Eyebrows suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!

The secrets of heaven are in chaos!
It was as if an invisible hand was forcefully disrupting the trajectory of the world's evolution, and even... reversing it!

"How dare you?!"

Enraged, he immediately activated the Haotian Mirror by performing a hand seal. The mirror shone brightly, illuminating the heavens!

The Three Tombs and Five Classics, the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era, the Great Ren Formula of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady... all kinds of deduction methods are used, and the light and shadow in the mirror change rapidly!
"Um?!"

Before you could even see the whole picture, an ancient and violent demonic aura rushed towards you!

The demonic aura, carrying an undying and indestructible resentment, crashed into the present Heavenly Dao like a monstrous wave!
The moisture in Kyushu instantly went berserk!

Calamity hangs in the blue sky, leaving hundreds of millions of people in sorrow and despair.

Rivers are flowing backwards, clouds and rain are rising in reverse, and even the seasons are starting to go out of order... Is this a reversal of the natural order?!
Long-browed man's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately withdrew his soul from the rules of heaven and earth!

"It's not advisable to look at it for long!"

Although he had only glimpsed one or two tenths of the truth, he already understood that the horror of this matter far exceeded his imagination!

There are signs that demons are wreaking havoc on the land!

From ancient times to the present, countless people have attempted to bring about this calamity, but all have been suppressed by the laws of Heaven and humanity.

But if it is a time when the Way is waning and demons are rising, when the human world's fortunes are declining...
More importantly... this force is most likely targeting Xu Xuan as well.

As an enemy, he naturally knew about Bao'an Hall and was also aware of the battle at Dongting Lake.

They even considered the possibility of starting from there, but when the crucial moment arrived, a constellation of stars appeared, and they realized that the person behind this matter would absolutely not allow any external force to bully the weak.

But at this moment, things are very different.

An even more terrifying force is getting involved.

If it were a typical villain, they would probably be overjoyed at this moment and take the opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

But who is he? Ren Shou! The Long-Browed Immortal! The former leader of the righteous path!

How can we follow in the footsteps of others?!
Moreover... humans and demons cannot coexist!

He coldly surveyed the demons below, his voice like cold iron: "From this day forward, no more demonic calamities are permitted in the Shu region."

One of the demons muttered under his breath, "Then what should we eat..."

puff!

A wisp of sword energy swept past, and the demon was instantly decapitated!
Long-browed man slowly withdrew his sword-finger.

The number one swordsman in the mortal realm is not a kind-hearted person.
