Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"That won't do. The alchemy room isn't very well ventilated; I can't stand it..."

"So you came here to torment me?"

"You can sleep somewhere else!"

"Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served? Besides, this has always been my nap spot. If you want to switch, you can move..."

"Are you two bickering again?"

Hua Qingning, who had just cleared away the evil spirits near Xuanlong Street, walked over. She put the blood-stained red-tasseled spear aside and looked in the direction of Sun Zhantian's room.

"After all this time, Tiger Lord still hasn't been able to master the power of the Martial God Transformation?"

I think so!

Ji Yanhua stretched and said, "I overheard Li Moxuan cursing Tiger Lord before, saying that Tiger Lord's last guardian spirit was Zhou Yu. I guess it's because he wasn't cooperating..."

Hua Qingning frowned, a little unhappy. "You mean Tiger was scolded by that Li Moxuan?"

"Please, is that the point?"

Ji Yanhua was speechless. "The important thing now is how to help Tiger Lord control the power of the Martial God transformation, isn't it?"

Zhu Tong, who was busy refining medicine, glanced at Ji Yanhua and asked, "What? You think you can be of any help?"

"Of course, if the opportunity arises, I can try to persuade Zhou Yu..."

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Tong couldn't help but laugh, "With your IQ, you can't even beat Han Yuanqing at chess, yet you went to persuade Zhou Yu..."

Ji Yanhua's face darkened. "Zhu Tong, what do you mean by that? Do you think I have a low IQ?"

"It's very low..."

"you……"

Seeing the two of them arguing again, Hua Qingning felt a little helpless. Why were these two acting like children...?

Inside the room, Sun Zhantian closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and his mind was already immersed in the Hidden Dragon Temple.

Sun Zhantian sat in front of a stone table with a chessboard on it. Zhou Yu sat opposite Sun Zhantian and was playing chess with him.

Unlike Sun Zhantian, who struggled to make a move, Zhou Yu seemed to be in complete control, quickly placing his pieces each time, while Sun Zhantian had to think for a long time before each move.

"Sun Zhantian, you've lost again..."

Zhou Yu slowly placed a white piece, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. "Want to play another game?"

"Zhou Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Sun Zhantian had lost the will to continue playing chess. Some time ago, Zhou Yu told her that as long as Sun Zhantian beat him in chess, Zhou Yu would do his best to help her, no matter what she chose.

The terms were very tempting, so Sun Zhantian agreed. But after so many days, she hadn't won against Zhou Yu even once.

This is clearly unfair. Strategy was Zhou Yu's forte, while her forte was combat.

This is like asking Zhang Fei to play chess against Zhuge Liang; it would be a miracle if Zhang Fei won...

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Zhantian, stood up with his back to her, and asked, "Sun Zhantian, do you know what happened recently?"

Before Sun Zhantian could speak, Zhou Yu said to himself, "Because of your decision, Bo Fu actually came to me and tried to persuade me to comply with your decision."

“We are all soldiers of the Sun family of Jiangdong. Bo Fu didn’t have to do this, but he respected my decision and simply explained the pros and cons to me…”

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Sun Zhantian, his gaze calm and indifferent.

"Sun Zhantian, tell me the truth. Did you give up on conquering the world because there was no chance of winning, or because you didn't want to put Li Moxuan in a difficult position?"

This……

Sun Zhantian hesitated for a moment, "I don't want to hide it from you, so both of the reasons you mentioned probably apply..."

Okay, another Sun Shangxiang...

Fortunately, the other party wasn't a decrepit old man this time; otherwise, let alone Zhou Yu, even Sun Ce wouldn't have agreed...

Zhou Yu looked up at the sky. If he hadn't felt it was too presumptuous, he really wanted to ask where Sun Jian was buried, and whether he had been buried in a place with bad feng shui.

“Zhou Yu, if you’re not really willing, you don’t have to force yourself…”

Over the past few days, Sun Zhantian has come to terms with it. "Whether I can become a Martial God or not is the same. I will always be the Thunder Emperor!"

Zhou Yu shook his head. "Now that Liu Yuchan and Cao Yanbing have both entered the Martial God realm, if you can't, doesn't that mean the Sun family is weaker than the other two families?"

"So...you agree?"

"It's only a temporary agreement..."

Zhou Yu turned around and said, "When I see Li Moxuan next time, I'll see if he's really worth the Sun family risking everything for him..."

"As for you, you can try to transform into a Martial God in the next few days. After transforming, Li Moxuan will be another matter, but at least you can't be weaker than Cao Yanbing and Liu Yuchan. Don't bring shame to the Sun family!"

"Don't worry! I'm Tiger Lord!"

Sun Zhantian was clearly in a good mood. Once she could skillfully use Martial God Transformation, she could go to the Greedy Camp to spar with Li Moxuan...

……

Shuiyun Street.

"I had long heard that Shuiyun Street was connected to the outside world through four small islands, and that these four islands were guarded by four spirit masters."

"Among them, the guardian of the Wind Path is Zhuge Yixin, who is known as the 'prodigy', and the guardian of the Forest Path is Han Yuanqing, who is skilled in troop formations."

"The guardian of the mountain path is a girl named Fan Tianyin, while the guardian of the fire path is 'Ice Child' Liu Yuchan..."

Xuanma withdrew his gaze from the four small islands. "Our main target this time is Liu Yuchan, but we don't know which of these four islands he is guarding..."

"That's easy!"

Tie Zu stepped forward and looked at Lei Pao, Zhou Shi, and Xue Xiang beside him. "There are exactly four of us. If we split into four groups, someone will surely encounter Liu Yuchan and eliminate him!"

What do you guys think?

"I have no objection..."

Without saying a word, Lei Pao shouldered the cannon and headed towards a small island, saying, "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day!"

"A good suggestion..."

Zhou Shi also chose a small island, Xue Xiang walked silently to another small island, and now only one small island remained.

Xuanma glanced at Tie Zu, "Shall we go together?"

"You're not human, so you should just stay on the sidelines and watch the show!"

After finishing speaking, Tie Zu flew directly on his sword towards the last small island, leaving Xuan Ma alone in the same spot.

"Still so cold and heartless when you speak!"

Xuanma shook her head slightly. Although Tie Zu was telling the truth, she was indeed not human, but was transformed from the ancient divine beast, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Without much thought, Xuanma waved her hand, and a spatial passage formed behind her. She then stepped into it.

This operation involved not only Huangfu Longdou's Iron Soldiers, but also Ying Chengfeng's Shepherds and others, though their target was not Shuiyun Street...

Chapter 174: Invasion

The Spirit Realm.

Although many palaces here had been burned down, Xiang Kunlun still chose to make this place the new headquarters of the Hall of Heroes and left people to guard these surrendered spirit envoys.

“Su, we are, after all, imperial guards of the Great Emperor, yet Xiang Kunlun actually made us his watchdogs…”

The Seventh Left Envoy stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the outer city gate, complaining to the Right Envoy of the Palace who was standing on the other side.

"If you ask me, with our strength, Xiang Kunlun should give us a portion of the Hall of Heroes' territory to govern!"

The Right Envoy shook his head at his far-fetched idea, "It is precisely because we are the imperial guards of the Great Emperor that Xiang Kunlun would never give us an important position..."

How could Xiang Kunlun dare to give an important position to someone who could easily betray even his own master?

"Ha, but wasn't Xiang Kunlun quite willing before?"

The Seventh Left Envoy's eyes flashed, "Anyway, I'm not willing to just be a watchdog!"

Seemingly sensing Seventh Left Envoy's thoughts, Right Envoy advised, "Seventh, the Underworld is currently in chaos; you'd better not act rashly..."

"But troubled times breed heroes, don't they?"

"seven……"

The Right Envoy paused, turned his head, looked ahead, and frowned as four figures approached.

"Is this where the King of the Underworld resides?"

Feng Xiang glanced around. "I thought the air quality would be better than in other places!"

"After all, it's the lower realm, so it's normal to have more turbid air!"

Yu Shi's gaze fell on the Seven Left Envoys and the Right Envoy of the Palace, who were leading a group of soldiers forward. "It seems we've encountered the enemy..."

Who are you?

The Right Envoy drew his sword and stood in front of the soldiers, declaring, "This is the Hall of Heroes; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"

"The roadblock's here, anyone want to go?"

The soldier completely disregarded the Seven Left Envoys and the Right Envoy, and asked the three people behind him.

Feng Xiang shrugged. "I have no interest in this bunch of trash!"

Yu Shi nodded in agreement, "They're just two kids, not worth my time!"

"Who are you calling a brat?!"

The Seven Left Envoys' faces immediately darkened. Even the former Great Emperor would not dare to underestimate them so much. How dare these four cowardly fellows be so presumptuous?

"Hey, kid, you're angry!"

Mu Bing turned slightly and said to Yang Che at the very back, "Yang Che, I'll leave the outer perimeter to you, how about it?"

Yang Che did not respond, but simply dragged his huge body forward, clearly agreeing to Mu Bing's arrangement.

"Don't rush to make a move!"
