In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Only after the Daoist heart had cultivated the demonic seed to its full potential, coupled with the Zhang family behind the Queen Mother of the West, did the Queen of the West gain the trust of the other party.

Otherwise, it would be almost like asking a tiger for its skin.

However, since things have come to this point, there is naturally no need to refuse.

Moreover, this time they are two top experts joining forces, so they naturally have absolute confidence.

"Lu Miaozi, be sensible later."

If we don't return to Ghost Street within an hour, Shang Xiuxun's fate will be far worse than being torn to pieces!

"Humph!"

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

Lu Miaozi naturally knew the cruelty of these demons; otherwise, he too would have been controlled by them.

The only people who went into the water were Empress Zhu Yuyan and Queen Mother Li Lingyue.

The other experts stood guard on one side, vigilantly watching all directions.

After all, the most dangerous beginning will only come once the Queen Mother of the West and the Empress Yin obtain the relic of the Evil Emperor.

Then, those lurking wolves will gradually surface.

Even now, those hidden masters were keeping a close eye on the demonic sect masters guarding the banks of the Luoshui River.

With guidance from Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the major righteous sects split into three groups:

One group waited patiently here; another group set a trap at another exit; and yet another group ambushed and killed Yin Hou and Xi Wangmu at Yang Gong's treasure vault.

If the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen of the Underworld were to appear, they would use the 'Cloud Piercing Arrow' as a signal to summon their helpers.

Another route involves Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heading to Ghost Street to rescue people.

Only after rescuing Shang Xiuxun were Ghost Street freed from having any leverage over Lu Miaozi.

Furthermore, the two were also worried that Ghost Street would kill them to cover it up afterward. After all, the Demonic Sect was ruthless and such things were commonplace. In other words, it was truly rare for the Demonic Sect to keep its promises.

Half an hour later, a figure burst out of the water.

However, Empress Zhu Yuyan held a black crystal that looked like a dragon ball. Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and even the experts from the Demonic Sect had greed in their eyes.

"Leave behind the Evil Emperor's Relic!"

The two who made the move were Jiangnan Yue and Shangguan Wan'er, who simultaneously stepped onto the Luo River and rushed towards Empress Zhu Yuyan.

On the contrary, the commander of the Plum Blossom Guards not only did not try to seize the Evil Emperor's Relic, but also directly dived underwater, worried about Li Lingyue's life or death.

After Emperor Wu committed suicide at Qianling Mausoleum, their only mistress was Princess Taiping.

As for the other members of the royal family?

Because they had previously served Emperor Wu, and their glory belonged to the Empress.

During that period, they suppressed members of the Li family, even though they obeyed the emperor.

Moreover, besides the Plum Blossom Inner Guard, the Empire also has another group of secret guards—

Bad Guys!

Undoubtedly, compared to the Plum Blossom Guards, the Bad People were the direct descendants of the Li family.

Moreover, after the empire's collapse, the members of the Li clan, under the cover of the Bad People, slowly retreated and hid in the Nine Provinces, waiting for an opportunity to restore their kingdom.

In comparison, Princess Taiping was undoubtedly their best choice!

Therefore, most of the Plum Blossom Guards were dispersed into smaller groups, hiding outside the capital. Their three commanders followed Li Lingyue.

"Princess!"

Inside Yang Gong's treasure vault, Princess Taiping, now disguised as the Queen Mother of the West, is entangled with the four holy monks.

With his unparalleled mastery of the Demon-Planting Technique, he was evenly matched with the four holy monks in their combined attack, which allowed Empress Zhu Yuyan to escape.

However, apart from Zhu Yuyan, the four holy monks also thought they had entangled the 'Queen Mother of the West', little did they know that this was just the beginning of a conspiracy.

Meanwhile, the original Lu Miaozi had already escaped through another secret passage.

With the relic of the Evil Emperor appearing and the Yang Gong Treasure Vault being exposed, Lu Miaozi naturally lost his value, and neither the Queen Mother of the West nor the Yin Queen paid him any attention.

As for the Evil Emperor's Relic?

In reality, the true relic of the Evil Emperor is still in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, while the relic of the Evil Emperor in the hands of Yin Houzhu is merely a high-quality imitation.

In any case, only the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen of the Underworld had seen the real Evil Emperor Relic. Even Lu Miaozi knew that the Evil Emperor Relic was hidden here, but he had never seen its true appearance. When he saw Zhu Yuyan take out the Evil Emperor Relic from it, he also thought that it was the real Evil Emperor Relic.

In reality, those relics of evil emperors are extremely malevolent because of their special materials. Once infused with power, they will backfire on the recipient.

After all, Ghost Street is full of rare treasures, but this item is rare and not very useful.

choke!

Suddenly, a bright light shone into the secret cave of the treasure vault, and sword light and shadow overlapped. In an instant, a vast amount of sword energy surged in.

The four holy monks sensed the murderous intent emanating from the sword energy, which was as sharp as frost, and quickly retreated.

However, the sword aura was cold, and a sharp, murderous intent shot straight at the Holy Monk Buchen. In addition, the newcomer's martial arts were also at the pinnacle, approaching the peerless realm.

In a one-on-one fight, he's even superior to those four holy monks!

Great Immeasurable Finger!

Faced with the overwhelming sword aura surrounding him, Bu Chen used the Buddhist beads in his hand as a hidden weapon and shot them out.

As a series of sharp, piercing sounds came from the air, the clanging of their attacks blocked the powerful sword strike from the Grand Commander of the Inner Guard.

"Princess!"

"Okay, back off."

The four holy monks looked at the commander of the Plum Blossom Guard, exchanged glances, and decided to leave.

At this point, the Queen Mother of the West had already left, and given that the commander of the Plum Blossom Guards was quite skilled in martial arts, there was no need for them to get entangled with the 'Queen Mother of the West'.

Moreover, given the Queen Mother of the West's identity, they hadn't fully committed their attack before; they had only intended to keep her occupied.

Ultimately, the other party is an imperial princess. Even if the country has fallen 2.0, there is no need to exterminate them all.

Moreover, the other party is backed by the Zhang family, an entity they cannot afford to offend.

"go!"

Princess Taiping naturally did not want to get entangled with the four holy monks. The reason she did not kill them earlier was to have the four holy monks testify for her.

Only by having the four holy monks entangle her could Empress Zhu Yuyan of the Underworld seize the relic of the Evil Emperor.

If she goes out now, no one will suspect that the evil emperor who will make a move later will become her, the 'Queen Mother of the West'.

She was at an unparalleled level; her martial arts skills were already more than sufficient.

But the Evil Emperor is a Grandmaster, and a Grandmaster at the level of the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart. The two are definitely two different people.

"Queen Mother of the West!"

"The Four Great Holy Monks!"

At this moment, a chaotic battle had already broken out outside. After the Evil Emperor's Relic was born, the experts from various forces no longer concealed their abilities and made their moves.

Besides the righteous monks Wang Faming, Fan Qinghui, and Ning Daoqi, there are also the evil king Shi Zhixuan, the Underworld Emperor, Jiangnan Yue, and alien masters Bi Xuan, Zhao Deyan, and Shi Le...

Nearly a hundred top experts and a dozen unparalleled masters from both the righteous and demonic paths fought a fierce and evenly matched battle.

At this time, the "Queen Mother of the West" and the "Four Holy Monks" who appeared were another powerful force.

Chapter 601 Bloodbath and the Fall of a Master

"Four bald monks? How did they get out of Yang Gong's treasure vault?"

Upon seeing the four holy monks emerge together with the 'Queen Mother of the West', everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

It turns out that the Four Holy Monks had entangled the Queen Mother of the West; otherwise, how could the Queen Mother have so easily obtained the relic of the Evil Emperor and escaped?

But that's no longer important.

With the Evil Emperor's Relic in the hands of Empress Zhu Yuyan, the fighting escalated from a direct assault to a chaotic melee, with everyone fiercely battling. They were determined to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic, now only facing two more powerful forces.

Despite the overwhelming attack, Zhu Yuyan remained the focal point of the attack.

However, relying on the Heavenly Demon Technique, he repeatedly evaded the deadly combined attacks of the crowd.

However, this would put her in a desperate situation. Thinking of this, Empress Zhu Yuyan looked at Fan Qinghui, a master of the righteous path, to the side.

At this moment, Fan Qinghui's sword energy was like a rainbow, and a sword light pierced straight towards him.

"then!"

Zhu Yuyan used the Evil Emperor's Relic as a hidden weapon and threw it directly at him.

Since it's a high-quality replica anyway, and her situation just now was a life-or-death zone with concentrated firepower, even if Zhu Yuyan throws out this Evil Emperor Relic, no one will doubt its authenticity, and no one will have the opportunity to examine it closely.

Instead, Fan Qinghui, who received the Evil Emperor's relic, instantly became the target of everyone's attack.

There was no time to carefully examine the authenticity of the Evil Emperor's Relic before streams of true Qi surged forth like a tidal wave.

Fortunately, she was extremely skilled in martial arts, and her figure leaped four or five zhang like a wisp of smoke, avoiding the many killing intents of the crowd, while exchanging a palm strike with Zhu Yuyan who was following closely behind.

boom!

With a powerful palm strike, Fan Qinghui used the recoil to retreat from the battlefield.

Divert trouble to the east!

Knowing full well that this was Zhu Yuyan's scheme, Fan Qinghui still couldn't resist the temptation and opportunity of the Evil Emperor's Relic.

He turned around and tried to escape with the Evil Emperor's Relic in his hand.

Because she was not just one person, but also had four great monks, including the monk king Faming and the hermit Ning Daoqi who were covering the rear.

Moreover, unlike the Demonic Sect just now, even Yin Hou's subordinates Bian Bufu and An Long were among the experts who besieged Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan.

Therefore, seeing that Fan Qinghui wanted to escape, everyone quickly chased after her.

However, at this moment, the monks Faming, Ning Daoqi, and the four eminent monks blocked their way.

"Amitabha!"

The four holy monks, with their indestructible bodies, stood in front of the crowd, blocking their way.

"The bald donkey is looking for death!"

Zhu Yuyan launched a fierce attack, unleashing a powerful palm strike with her slender hand.

This was not a one-against-four situation. At this moment, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan's Undying Seal Technique, Bi Xuan's Blazing Spear, the Underworld Emperor's Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, Jiang Nanyue's Three Thousand Feet of White Hair, and the 'Queen Mother of the West's' Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique all launched a powerful attack simultaneously.

In an instant, even with six against six, both Monk King Faming and Ning Daoqi felt immense pressure.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

In less than three breaths, the monks Faming and Ning Daoqi were at best evenly matched with their respective opponents.

However, the four eminent monks were all severely injured by the Underworld Emperor, Bi Xuan, and others, their massive bodies being directly blasted away by the attacks of the four peerless masters.

Moreover, the attacks from a group of martial arts masters surged forth like a tidal wave, and the four holy monks, unable to dodge in time, all perished on the spot. The wandering monk Ning Daoqi and the others were also caught in the crossfire of these indiscriminate attacks and retreated temporarily.

If they can seriously injure or kill one person, they will have one less opponent.

Therefore, not only Ning Daoqi and others were given special attention, but also Empress Yin, Shi Zhixuan and others were treated the same.

Seeing the numerous experts chasing after them completely enraged Ning Daoqi and Monk King Faming.

As for Zhu Yuyan and the others, they used their lightness skills to the extreme, directly passing by everyone and chasing after Fan Qinghui in the direction she had left.

After all, Shi Zhixuan, Zhu Yuyan, Xi Wangmu, and others possessed top-tier lightness skills, coupled with their unparalleled cultivation levels, allowing them to quickly surpass a group of early-rising, top-tier masters.

Bang!

Upon catching up with the figure, the monk Faming directly shattered the expert's internal organs with a powerful Arhat palm strike.

At the same time, Ning Daoqi used the Eight Styles of Sanpu to shatter the meridians of the expert in front of him with a single palm strike.

Undoubtedly, the deaths of the four holy monks thoroughly enraged the two great Buddhist masters, who decided to unleash a massacre.

Meanwhile, Jiangnan Yue, Mingdi, and Bi Xuan, whose lightness skills were inferior to Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, were also furious that these people had not only failed to pursue them but had actually tried to kill them to reduce their competitors. Therefore, they caught several experts along the way and killed them without hesitation.

This terrified many experts, and many of them even changed course and fled.
