Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

In fact, ever since the death of the White Lotus Sect's leader, they have subconsciously ignored this issue.

What if there are other Celestial Realm beings in the Underworld?

The atmosphere here suddenly became quiet, even though the White Lotus Cult members were all a bunch of lunatics.

But they were also afraid of dying!

At this moment, the Grand Master stood up and looked down at the crowd with an imposing gaze.

"What's there to be afraid of? Do they have as many Celestial Realm cultivators as we do?"

"I do not believe they could have two more peerless Celestial Realm experts!"

The guarantee from the Shattered Realm greatly boosted their confidence.

The Dharma King continued his instructions:

"There are a total of 125 strongholds in the northern neighboring state of the Underworld, most of which are innate realm, and only a few are guarded by purple mansion realm."

"For this battle, each branch will send two Dharma Aspect Realm experts to lead the team!"

"We will execute the people of the Underworld stronghold by slow slicing in front of all the cultivators in the world!" As he spoke, the murderous aura in his tone could almost affect the minds of ordinary cultivators.

"In this battle, the entire Northern Barbarian Prefecture branch will participate, while the other branches will deploy two Dharma Aspect Realm experts and five Grandmaster Realm experts!"

This shows just how terrifying the strength of the White Lotus Sect's Great Xia branch truly is.

Each branch has eight or nine Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators and nearly twenty Grandmasters, with even more below the Grandmaster level.

This is the overlord force that spans five cycles of reincarnation!

The Underworld has no shortage of high-end combat power, but its foundation is ultimately still somewhat shallow.

...

Because of the existence of the teleportation array, the White Lotus Sect could move very quickly.

However, all of this was discovered by the imperial court.

The teleportation arrays within the Great Xia territory were all established by the imperial court, and the members of the White Lotus Sect are basically all recorded in the imperial court's records.

Soon, many governors received intelligence about the unusual activities of the White Lotus Sect.

At the governor's mansion in the neighboring state to the north, Zhou Yuanshan's expression turned somewhat serious after reading the intelligence report.

"This is troublesome. What exactly does the White Lotus Sect want?"

"No, we must report this to the imperial court immediately!"

If only one state has an anomaly, it might be overlooked, but what if it's more than thirty states?

The news quickly reached the palace. Xia Hongwu listened to the report from Han Tianye, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Han Tianye, what do you think is the White Lotus Sect's purpose in doing this?"

Han Tianye, the commander of the Jinyiwei headquarters of the Great Xia Dynasty, is at the early stage of the Celestial Realm. However, the Jinyiwei's foundation should not be underestimated.

After each commander retires, he goes to the royal ancestral land to cultivate. It can be said that the Embroidered Uniform Guard can produce more than ten Celestial Realm cultivators at any time!

"Your Majesty, after analyzing their routes, I've discovered they're all heading towards the Northern Barbarian Continent!"

In the Northern Barbarian Prefecture, everyone present looked puzzled.

"Could it be that the remains of some powerful figure have appeared in the Northern Barbarian Continent?" Eunuch Lu asked uncertainly.

Even now, no one could have imagined that the White Lotus Sect's purpose was the underworld.

Since the Underworld now has many branches, who would have thought that the White Lotus Church would specifically attack one of them?

However, some people just happened to guess it.

Suddenly, Wu Ji, who had been deep in thought, looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I now understand the White Lotus Sect's purpose!"

Huh? Everyone looked at Wu Ji, the head of the Eastern Depot.

"If I'm not mistaken, the White Lotus Sect's target is the underworld!"

The underworld!!

The name reappeared in everyone's ears. If Bai Yujing's birth previously gave people a feeling of nobility and amazement,

So the impression that the underworld gives people is death and arrogance.

"The Underworld!"

"A vengeful ghost snatches away souls, and the unpredictable dead claim lives."

"I've heard they have two sayings circulating: 'If the King of Hell calls you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn!'"

Xia Hongwu's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

In the land of Great Xia, only the rapidly rising power of the Underworld dares to be so arrogant.

If you weren't arrogant, how would you dare to take on a job to assassinate an elder of the White Lotus Sect?

How dare you kill even one of their Dharma Kings!

"Hehe...The White Lotus Sect wanted to send someone at the Shattered Realm before, but I refused."

"I thought they would give up on revenge, but I didn't expect them to choose to take revenge on the underworld at this time."

At this moment, Han Tianye suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Commander Wu's guess is correct."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been investigating intelligence about the Underworld, and although they haven't made any major gains yet, they know that their branch in the Northern Barbarian State is the weakest!"

...

"So, the White Lotus Sect is using the attack on the Northern Barbarian Prefecture branch of the Underworld to lure other branches here?"

Xia Hongwu immediately realized the White Lotus Sect's purpose.

Everyone nodded, and then Eunuch Lu couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, should our court secretly notify the Underworld?"

Everyone originally thought that His Majesty would inform them, but the result was unexpected.

"Why notify the underworld?"

It can be said that Emperor Xia's decision really surprised everyone.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Xia Hongwu got up and walked down the steps.

"You think that just because I suppressed the White Lotus Sect a few times before, I should help the Underworld this time too!"

"If the Underworld suffers heavy losses this time, do you think it will choose to retaliate fiercely against the White Lotus Sect?"

"Wouldn't it be better to let them fight like dogs?"

In Xia Hongwu's mind, he didn't care how many people died, as long as they weren't part of the imperial court system.

Even if the underworld is destroyed this time, he will only feel a little sorry.

As a qualified emperor, he always made decisions with the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty in mind.

...

The night was as dark as ink. The Northern Barbarian Continent was once the territory of the demon race, and there are still descendants of humans and demons living here.

After tens of thousands of years of development, these transgender people gradually integrated into the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, these groups have always been disliked by both humans and demons.

Mo Yang appears to be an ordinary martial artist, but one can tell from his ears that his ancestors were descendants of a human-demon hybrid.

In reality, he was an assassin on the outskirts of the underworld. With his cultivation at the early stage of the Innate Realm, he became the person in charge of the Three Yang City stronghold and was also given the title of Yin General!

Tonight, he had just completed an assassination mission and was returning to the stronghold when he suddenly held his breath and hid in the shadows!

At this moment, he was trembling all over, his eyes fixed on the stronghold building, where flames were raging and his fallen subordinates were everywhere!

These subordinates are now being cruelly tortured to death.

The arrogant laughter and unbridled killing of the White Lotus Cult members made Mo Yang's eyes turn bloodshot, and the demon bloodline within him began to awaken.

However, even though his clenched fist was bleeding profusely, he showed no sign of letting it out!

Mo Yang knew that coming out was tantamount to suicide!

Because among those people from the White Lotus Sect, there were more than a dozen whose strength he couldn't sense at all!

"Haha...you little assassin from the underworld, tonight you'll know what fear is!"

A martial artist from the White Lotus Sect captured a post-natal realm assassin from the underworld.

He cruelly tore off the assassin's limbs, then pierced the man's chest with his sword and hung him in front of the stronghold.

Even worse, some people captured assassins from the underworld and began skinning them from head to toe.

A perfectly intact human skin fluttered in the wind above the gate of the stronghold!
