Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Of course, with each level suppressing the next, even the Ten Kings of Hell have no say in the matter.

Below them are judges from various Yama courts who are responsible for specific tasks.

Previously, Judge Cui from Heaven was the person in charge of things in the Underworld.

At this point, Wenqu Xingjun naturally invited all the important figures in charge of the Nine Netherworld.

At the gate of Mount Tai, a divine general announced: "Great Emperor, the God of Literature is requesting an audience."

"Has the Star Lord arrived?"

Huang Feihu was shocked to hear this, for this was one of the civil and military officials serving the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven.

The status of Wenquxingjun (the God of Literature) is much higher than that of Taibai Jinxing (Venus).

Both in terms of status and cultivation, he is a top-tier immortal god.

Most importantly, Wenquxingjun represents the will of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the Central Heaven.

Such an important person must have something to ask me.

Huang Feihu felt a sudden jolt in his heart, sensing that something was about to happen.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think about what had happened. He hurriedly got up and led the Three Saints and Six Ministers out the door.

Huang Feihu spotted Wenqu Xingjun at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, saying with a smile, "Xingjun, what brings you to my humble temple today? Is there something you wish to discuss?"

Wenqu Xingjun returned the greeting and then said, "Your Majesty, something has happened, and I had no choice but to come."

Huang Feihu was taken aback, his heart pounding. He quickly asked, "Star Lord, please come in. What exactly happened?"

The two entered the Dongyue Temple first, followed closely by the others.

After both sides were seated, Wenquxingjun (the God of Literature) did not keep them in suspense and directly recounted the events of the day.

"What? Such a major event has occurred? Why hasn't anyone from the underworld come to report it?"

Emperor Huang Feihu of the Eastern Peak suddenly stood up, his face turning deathly pale, then flushed red.

He understood now: the Ten Kings of Hell didn't respect him and had gone directly to his superiors to report the matter!

The thought of this made Huang Feihu furious.

Unfortunately, he was of low aptitude, merely a fourth-generation disciple of the Jie Sect and a disciple of Wen Zhong.

Huang Feihu's current cultivation level is only that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If it weren't for the blessing of a divine position, which allows him to unleash the power of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he would be even more helpless.

Even some minor figures who have suddenly risen to prominence in recent years are not as good as him.

Such cultivation level is truly low.

The Ten Kings of Hell and Judge Cui naturally forgot about their superior and went directly to the Heavenly Court to ask the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor of the North Pole for help.

"Star Lord, what are the Emperor's orders? I will do my utmost!"

After a moment, Huang Feihu calmed down and immediately asked Wenquxingjun (the God of Literature).

Huang Feihu wielded immense power, controlling all the ghosts and spirits in the Nine Netherworlds.

All ghosts who pass the judgment of the underworld must first be registered and checked at the "Dongyue Temple". Only after Huang Feihu approves can they be sent to the six realms of reincarnation to be reborn or sentenced to the eighteen levels of hell.

Back then, the Jie Sect obtained this position.

Huang Feihu did indeed make a great contribution to the Jie Sect.

With such a person in charge of the review, whether a disciple of the Jie Sect has perished or has been reincarnated and started anew, as long as Huang Feihu has a stroke of his pen, he can immediately reincarnate into the Heavenly Realm or the Human Realm and receive the best treatment.

Now, it's time for Huang Feihu to step up again.

"Your Majesty, this time, our Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have clashed. Perhaps the people of the Chan Sect will take advantage of this situation. You will need to make a trip to clarify the relationship and prevent the people of the Chan Sect from turning the tables and falsely accusing the disciples of our Jie Sect."

The God of Literature chuckled and began to speak slowly.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Star Lord! I understand!"

Huang Feihu had once lived among mortals and held the high-ranking and powerful position of King Wucheng.

How could such a person not be cunning?

Wenqu Xingjun (the God of Literature) intended to use his position as the Lord of the Underworld to block the Chan Sect's attack and suppress them from the perspective of law and reason.

If the Chan Sect still obeys the Heavenly Rules, then this matter is considered closed.

If they disagreed, the Jie Sect would have the upper hand in public opinion and could use the pretext of suppressing a rebellion to carry out a purge against the Chan Sect.

In this way, the case was brought before the sages and the great figures of the Primordial Chaos, and even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable couldn't say anything.

Having figured this out, Huang Feihu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was filled with anticipation.

If the Jie Sect were to control the Nine Netherworld, it seems that he, as the nominal leader, could gain more real power.

This is great news for me!

After Huang Feihu agreed, Wenqu Xingjun led him on a hurried journey to the Nine Netherworld.

When the two arrived at the Netherworld, the war was still raging and had become even more intense, to the point that the seal had been broken.

As soon as the Celestial Master Sa arrived, he led the four Celestial Masters Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, Qiu Hongji, and Ge Hong to attack Jiang Chen.

In this way, there were as many as twelve powerful beings besieging Jiang Chen.

In this situation, there is virtually no chance of survival.

"Damn it! You people from the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect, how shameless you are!"

The Zombie King Jiang Chen roared repeatedly, his face flushed red, and he could barely breathe.

After fighting for so long, he was constantly suppressed, and even his true form, which was comparable to the Ancestral Witch, was covered in wounds.

Even a master like Jiang Chen was rapidly depleting his magical power.

Normally, the higher a great cultivator's level of cultivation, the faster they can recover their energy, and their magical power is boundless and inexhaustible. Even if they fight for hundreds of thousands of years, they will not run out of energy.

However, Jiang Chen, like an ordinary person, took a deep breath, his breathing sounding like a bellows, and white steam rose from his head, shooting straight into the sky.

This indicates that your mana has been depleted to the extreme.

This situation would never occur unless one is completely exhausted.

"General Jiang! Surrender immediately! That way, you might save your life!"

With reinforcements arriving, Yuan Hong's spirits soared, and he unleashed his extraordinary powers of "following the laws of heaven and earth" and "having three heads and six arms."

Yuan Hongding was at the forefront, and his every move was extremely fierce.

However, Jiang Chen was truly ferocious. No matter how terrifying the attack was, it was as if it had struck divine metal, only causing sparks to fly out.

Meanwhile, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi surrounded Jiang Chen from the other three directions, and the four demonic apes kept smashing at Jiang Chen's body from all sides.

Outside the four demonic apes were the Three Great Emperors, who formed the Three Talents Formation and surrounded Yuan Hong and his three companions, as well as Jiang Chen, ensuring that they could not escape.

Meanwhile, the five great celestial masters, Sa Tianshi, Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, Qiu Hongji, and Ge Hong, set up another "Primordial Five Elements Grand Array".

This great formation severed the connection between the thirteen powerful beings and the Nine Netherworld, allowing them to fight freely in this Five Elements World without worrying about damaging the Nine Netherworld.

Now, all twelve powerful cultivators looked frustrated. They hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be so "tough." They had no power to fight back, yet they still couldn't kill him!

This feeling was particularly profound for Yuan Hong and the other four protectors. They were known for their combat prowess, but they never expected that they would use Jiang Chen as a target and still fail to kill him after so long.

The Five Celestial Masters and the Three Officials were unhurried; they were there to provide support. Jiang Chen was certain he couldn't escape and would be doomed sooner or later. Their only concern was ensuring their own safety during the battle.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

"This cannot continue! If it continues like this, I fear I truly will not be able to hold on."

Jiang Chen's face turned pale and then red, while he unleashed a series of fierce and ruthless killing moves. He continued to rouse his remaining strength, constantly driving back Yuan Hong, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi.

However, before Jiang Chen could get away, the Three Officials Emperor blocked his way again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Hong's four protectors launched another attack, suppressing Jiang Chen once again.

"Protector Yuan Hong! Seal him off first, and deal with Jiang Chen when you have time! The people from the Chan Sect are coming soon, don't cause any unnecessary trouble!"

Suddenly, Yuan Hong heard the voice transmission of Master Sa, which startled him.

"Foolish!"

Yuan Hong cursed himself, then immediately transmitted his voice to the others. The twelve great supernatural beings understood and simultaneously unleashed their "Five Elements Seal" supernatural power.

With a flash of five-colored divine light, the twelve great supernatural beings each used their own "Law of Metal," "Law of Water," "Law of Earth," "Law of Wood," and "Law of Fire" to form beams of brilliant light that continuously swirled around Jiang Chen.

"Ah...open it for me!"

Jiang Chen roared, his veins bulging, his blood vessels bursting, his power reaching its peak, and even his bones creaking.

However, it was of no use. The twelve powerful beings no longer confronted Jiang Chen's "immortality" head-on, but instead used sealing techniques to deal with him, rendering Jiang Chen's physical advantage completely useless.

In no time, a five-colored divine mountain, ten thousand feet tall, appeared within the circle of twelve powerful beings.

"Celestial Master's Talisman, may it be so at your command!"

The five Celestial Masters—Sa Tianshi, Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, Qiu Hongji, and Ge Hong—made their move once more, their hands flashing with celestial talismans as they affixed them to the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.

The mountain was covered with countless talismans, and the mountain itself was solidified, like an ancient divine mountain, with no trace of Jiang Chen's struggle.

Seeing this, the twelve powerful beings finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong made a hand seal and used the "Great Immortal Technique of Universe in Sleeves" to put away the "Five-Colored Divine Mountain".

"Thank you for your hard work, five Celestial Masters and three Great Emperors!"

At this moment, Yuan Hong and his three junior brothers quickly stepped forward to thank the reinforcements.

Master Sa said, "Fellow Daoist Yuan Hong, there's no need to be so polite. Subduing demons and monsters is the duty of us, and with the decree of the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, we should come to assist you, fellow Daoist of the Jie Sect."

"Please, we can talk about politeness later. I sense that the people of the Chan Sect are approaching the Underworld. Everyone, quickly deal with the rest of the zombies and resolve the chaos. Then we can discuss things with the people of the Chan Sect!"

At this moment, the Six-Eared Macaque had an idea and quickly said.

The Six-Eared Macaque possesses an extraordinary talent: the ability to listen to information from all four realms.

The immortals of the Chan Sect were heading towards the Nine Netherworld, and he naturally discovered their whereabouts perfectly.

"Yes! Fellow Celestial Masters and Great Emperors, you go and wipe out the zombie race. We, the disciples of the Jie Sect, will go and fight against the Chan Sect."

Upon hearing his junior brother's words, Yuan Hong's expression turned serious, and he quickly addressed the eight top experts of the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Wenqu Xingjun and Huang Feihu, seeing that the battle had stabilized, also flew over.

"Very well! Fellow Daoist Yuan Hong, we will not interfere in the affairs of your Jie Sect and Chan Sect. We are subjects of the Heavenly Court, and our only responsibility is to slay demons and eliminate evil!"

Master Sa, equally solemn, agreed.

Thank you!

Before Yuan Hong could say much, he quickly sent a telepathic message to the six quasi-saints: Zhao Gongming, Fairy Bixiao, Fairy Qiongxiao, Fairy Caiyun, Su Daji, and the Old Mother of Lishan, instructing them to leave together and not to get entangled with the zombie clan.

Upon receiving the information, Zhao Gongming and the others retreated. The Three Officials and the Five Celestial Masters took over from them, continuing to lead the underworld's ghost messengers and spirits to eliminate the remaining zombie army.

At this moment, Huang Feihu, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, came into play and immediately took over all power in the Nine Netherworld.

With the assistance of the God of Literature, the Three Officials, and the Five Celestial Masters, the situation was quickly stabilized.

At this moment, the ten Quasi-Saints of the Jie Sect stood in the way of Huang Quan.

Before long, Guang Chengzi, Grand Master Xuandu, and twenty other powerful figures from the Chan and other sects appeared opposite them.

"Yuan Hong! You dare kill my clone! Do you disregard the Heavenly Court's rules and regulations?"

When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. When Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun saw the four guardians of the Jie Sect, his eyes turned red. He was the first to step forward and loudly question them.

"Hmph! Taiyi! Your clone has colluded with the zombie clan, wreaking havoc in the Nine Netherworld. Your sins are heinous. We are acting on the orders of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, the Benevolent Sage, to execute this traitor! Taiyi, now that you're here, what do you have to say? Have you come to relieve Jiang Chen's siege?"

Yuan Hong smiled coldly, pointing his "Star Staff" directly at Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, and began to speak eloquently.

"Yuan Hong! You shameless bastard! How dare you slander this Heavenly Venerable?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was so angry that his face turned red, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He never expected that Yuan Hong, this brainless beast, could turn the tables on him.

"Hahaha! Taiyi, the evidence is conclusive, how can you accuse me? You colluded with the zombie clan, attempting to overthrow the Nine Netherworld, and you've been caught!"

Seeing Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's anger, Yuan Hong laughed heartily, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Yuan Hong! We're all sensible people here. Does your Jie Sect really intend to do this?"

Seeing that Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was about to speak, Guang Chengzi stopped him, stepped forward, looked coldly at Yuan Hong, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmph! Guang Chengzi, what do you mean?"

Yuan Hong naturally denied this, and said, "The entire Nine Netherworld is under the leadership of the Eastern Peak Heavenly Emperor and the Fengdu Northern Yin Emperor. We are here by order of the Eastern Peak Heavenly Emperor to stop the zombie race's invasion of the Netherworld. We are acting openly and justly. Don't try to distort the truth and slander my Jie Sect!"

"Indeed! You people of the Chan Sect are adept at distorting the truth. But know this, we of the Jie Sect are not to be trifled with!"

Wuzhiqi cackled. (End of Chapter)
