Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 127 Gathering of the Gods

Naga was betting that the group wouldn't be able to get rid of the spiritual energy in those demons in a short time, but Fang Xiu's recent performance made him somewhat wary.

In order to obtain Qing Ning, Naga has gone completely mad. He attacked Mo Sheng and other demons who had a close relationship with Lao Jun, all to let Lao Jun know his determination.

Naga is pursuing multiple fronts, intending to attack several demons simultaneously. While it's difficult to cultivate multiple clones, Naga's main body is within the domain, and with the passage of time, the number of clones has accumulated considerably over time.

However, most of his clones missed their target.

Knowing full well that Naga harbored ill intentions, how could Fang Xiu allow Laozi to leave such a flaw? Those demons had already been transferred into Laozi's spiritual space, except for two places: one was with Mr. Mosheng, and the other was with Wuxian.

After Laozi relayed the message, Fang Xiu spent a considerable amount of time successfully devouring the divine spirits from the Ming King's subordinates. The price was that the aura of the group visibly weakened considerably.

After arranging various matters, Laozi used the Blue Jade Disc to lead everyone to a green mountain surrounded by mist and clouds.

Here stands a stone table, surrounded by seven stone stools, and on the stone table are neatly arranged tea sets.

Laozi closed his eyes and concentrated, while Mingwang held a white porcelain cup and sipped the tea inside.

Before long, Laozi and Mingwang turned their heads and saw a long, narrow streak of fire cutting through the horizon, scorching and distorting the surrounding space.

The next instant, the flames crashed down towards the group like a meteorite, violently shattering the surrounding rocks.

Terrifying flames, accompanied by a violent heatwave, rose and swept towards everyone!

Laozi and Mingwang remained unfazed; the fire waves that could incinerate ordinary demons were nothing more than a gentle breeze to them.

The faint light of the Qiongyuan Shield appeared, protecting Qing Ning, who had the lowest cultivation level. Xuan Li patted the flames that were splashing around him and secretly curled his lip. With the other party's control, it must have been intentional.

The sparks disappeared before they even reached Fang Xiu's vicinity, as if there were invisible openings around him.

"Long time no see."

Looking at the flames gradually subsiding before him, Laozi's lips curled slightly as he spoke.

As the flames completely died down, the newcomer's face was fully revealed to everyone.

He was a boy with delicate and cute features, and his long, black hair was tied into two very distinctive buns.

It was Nezha, one of the gods of this world.

"Hmph, it can't be anything good."

With his hands on his hips, Nezha snorted coldly, shifting his gaze to the Ming King beside him, and asked, "Hmm? What's this guy doing here?"

Raising an eyebrow, the King ignored Nezha, simply closing his eyes to drink tea, completely oblivious to Dangdang's words.

"Oh?"

The King ignored him, and Nezha didn't care either. His attention quickly shifted back to Xuanli: "The little puppy has grown so big?"

"I've never been younger than you!"

Xuan Li spoke up, somewhat unconvinced.

"Who are these two?"

Ignoring Xuan Li's resentment, Nezha turned his head to look at Qing Ning and Fang Xiu. These were the only two completely unfamiliar faces present. One was a complete stranger, and the other had an unfamiliar appearance but a strangely familiar aura.

"Qing Ning, a disciple of Laozi."

Qing Ning bowed respectfully to the young man before her and said softly, "Greetings, Lord Nezha."

"Sure, sure, what about you?"

Nezha smiled and responded to Qing Ning. Then, he looked at Fang Xiu with some curiosity. This person looked more and more familiar. Which demon had he seen before?

Just as Nezha opened his mouth to ask, a pale blue flame appeared beside him.

Then the flame suddenly swelled, slowly outlining a faint, short, stout human figure in mid-air.

A halo of light floated behind the newcomer's head, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and sacred appearance.

"Yo."

But the moment he opened his mouth, that otherworldly feeling was instantly shattered.

"It's so lively."

"We've been waiting for you."

Laozi smiled at the deity before him; the newcomer was none other than the oldest living deity in the world—Emperor Yan.

Unlike the others present, Emperor Yan specializes in the fire element within the Spirit Control system, and his mastery of the art of fire has long been unparalleled.

Looking at the Yan Emperor, whose kind face concealed a hint of irritation, Yan Ming silently turned away.

Go to your face.

"Wow, it's been that long."

Yan Ming's subtle movements were naturally noticed by Emperor Yan, who chuckled and teased him.

"Xiao Ming, you still hold a grudge?"

Because Mingwang cultivated the path of necromancy, he clashed with Yandi many times and suffered repeated losses until he became a god, at which point his situation improved.

At that moment, upon hearing Yan Di's nonsensical address, Ming Wang's forehead veins bulged, and he couldn't help but want to slap the teacup on Yan Di's face.

However, King Ming held back and said in a cold voice.

"Get to the point, then get out."

"Ugh—why is he still like this?"

Emperor Yan was not particularly concerned about the Ming King's resistance, and his smile remained unchanged, while Laozi recounted the story of Naga in detail.

After a moment, having heard the whole story, Nezha, the most straightforward of the gods, said coldly.

"That guy is so shameless!!"

If Naga were right in front of him, Nezha wouldn't mind beating him up.

Even so, the gods present had to admit that Naga's move was indeed very effective, especially against Laozi.

Fortunately, there is now a solution, so things won't get to the worst possible outcome.

but----

"So it's a Taotie, no wonder it looked so familiar."

Emperor Yan, who picked up the automatically heated tea and was instantly filled with steam, exclaimed that not only Nezha, but also Fang Xiu looked familiar. After hearing Laozi's words, he naturally learned Fang Xiu's identity.

Being able to precisely devour the spirits of gods without harming the demons themselves is something the previous Taotie couldn't accomplish. After all, while the previous Taotie was strong, it lacked intelligence and couldn't manipulate things with such precision. If the previous Taotie were here, it would probably have just eaten the victim along with the demon.

"Since you already have a solution, why did you call us over?"

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Yan asked slowly and deliberately.

"There is a plan that we hope you, Emperor Yan, will join us."

"Oh? What plan? Tell me about it?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan became somewhat interested. Knowing Laozi as he did, this wasn't Laozi's character. Could it really be...?

Did the Naga provoke you?

"Let's make this clear first: if the goal is to kill Naga, then there's no need to say anything."

Emperor Yan was very confident in his strength. Outside the domain, he could defeat Naga with one hand, but it was hard to say what would happen inside the domain. The domain was equivalent to an external spiritual space, and fighting inside it would be too oppressive.

"Of course not—"

Lao Jun shook his head; he would not force others to get involved in his feud with Naga.

"I would like to invite you to join the Fairy Guild—"
