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

Of course, Chi You, the warlord, should also have been able to subdue Fei Lian, but unfortunately, legend has it that he died at the hands of the Yellow Emperor...

To get help from the Yellow Emperor, we would probably have to go to the upper realm of gods, which would take a very long time!

Li Moxuan composed himself and continued, "Have you found out anything about the other people?"

"No……"

Yan Fengzha shook his head and glanced at Cao Yanbing beside him, "But I found out that this guy is looking for the Tang Clan..."

Tang Clan?

Li Moxuan thought of Cao Yanbing's mother, Tang Xiaoxiao, whose bloodline came from the Great Thousand World. "Cao Yanbing, is that the Tang Clan that your mother told you about?"

"Um……"

Cao Yanbing nodded, unusually serious. "According to our information, the Tang Clan is an organization that hosts spirits..."

"That's called the God of Restoration, right?"

"It doesn't matter, their headquarters is not far from here anyway, I'm planning to go take a look!"

Why did you go to the Tang Sect if you had nothing to do?

Li Moxuan glanced at him. "You wouldn't be thinking of returning to your ancestral home, would you?"

"Stop talking nonsense. My family tree is separate, and they don't even deserve to let me acknowledge my ancestors..."

Cao Yanbing retorted, explaining, "My mother said she was an orphan since childhood, but her bloodline comes from the Great Thousand Worlds, so why would she appear in the Underworld?"

"I want to find out exactly what happened that caused her, who should have been in the Great Thousand Worlds, to end up in the Underworld..."

"Let's figure out what's important and what's urgent, okay?"

Li Moxuan was speechless. "You can figure these things out later. The most important thing right now is to find the other people. Aren't you worried about Xia Ling at all?"

"And do you know anything about the Tang Sect? Do you know which powerful Deity beings reside there? What if there's a God-King among them who can be entangled in blue silver?"

"...Are you afraid of being entangled by blue silver?"

"That's not the point. The point is that you should figure out the situation of the Tang Clan before you take any action, just like in war, understand?"

"Alright, alright, I got it..."

Cao Yanbing sighed. He was doomed to be defeated by Li Moxuan in this lifetime; he couldn't beat him in a fight, and he couldn't win an argument with him...

So hungry...

Su Xuanwei listened for a long time but couldn't understand what they were talking about. All he knew was that they wanted to go to the Tang Sect. The more he listened, the hungrier he got. Couldn't they eat and talk at the same time?

"Let's eat first! The food's getting cold..."

Cao Yanbing and the other three had been busy all day and were hungry, so they started eating immediately. Su Xuanwei, however, was still waiting for Li Moxuan to speak, since this table was ordered by Cao Yanbing and the others...

"Let's eat too, and then we'll find a place to rest!"

Li Moxuan took two new sets of bowls and chopsticks from the side and gave one set to Su Xuanwei. After taking the bowls and chopsticks, she thanked him softly and couldn't wait to start eating.

While eating, Li Moxuan pondered his next steps. Now that the team had six members, their speed of collecting spirit essence should be able to increase several times over.

Since both he and Cao Yanbing have more than one guardian deity, their names should spread quickly, and if they're lucky, others might even hear about them...

"Bang bang bang-"

A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Cao Yanbing thought it was a waiter, so he got up and opened the door. But what he saw was the man in sunglasses that Li Moxuan had met before.

Who are you?

"Ahem, who I am isn't important, what matters is that we met..."

boom--

Cao Yanbing slammed the door shut before he could finish speaking, muttering, "I can't believe we're still being sold out even in the Great Thousand God Realm..."

The man in sunglasses outside the door turned green upon hearing this. He, the dignified war god Chi You, was considered one of the top experts in the Great Thousand God Realm, yet he was being treated like a salesman.

He knocked on the door again, "Dude, I've already paid for this table in your room..."

To his surprise, the door opened instantly, and Cao Yanbing pulled him inside, saying enthusiastically, "Brother, why didn't you say something about something this important sooner? Tell me, what product are you trying to sell?"

"I'm not a salesperson..."

The man in sunglasses looked a little helpless and took off his sunglasses. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Mingxuan, and I am also a Deity..."

Chapter 316: The Decline of the Tang Clan

Jiang Mingxuan glanced at Li Moxuan without showing any emotion and continued, "I'm here to make a deal with you!"

"After all that, it's still just about selling things, isn't it?"

Feeling a bit bored, Cao Yanbing turned around and continued eating, but at least he saved money on a meal...

"I wasn't talking about this deal..."

Jiang Mingxuan coughed lightly and said, "I have been wandering in the Great Thousand God Realm for many years and have a good understanding of many forces, including the Tang Sect. I can help you..."

Cao Yanbing was taken aback, turned around, and frowned. "You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"Don't worry, I meant no harm. I just happened to be passing by and overheard..."

Jiang Mingxuan pulled up a chair and sat down in the corner, his gaze falling on Yan Fengzha. "Besides that, I can also help you resolve the demonic nature of the guardian deity within that young man!"

"Furthermore, I can also help you find out information about your companions in the Great Thousand God Realm..."

After hearing his words, Freud and the others fell into deep thought, their gazes falling on Li Moxuan in unison, since he was now the backbone.

Li Moxuan didn't rush to refuse. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "You've covered the benefits, now what's the price?"

"Actually, it's not that serious, it's not much of a price to pay..."

Jiang Mingxuan stared at Li Moxuan and slowly said, "I want you to take me to retrieve Chi You's corpse!"

Chi You's corpse? How would I know where that thing is?

Li Moxuan suddenly remembered what Tu Shan Jiu'er had once told him: according to legend, after the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You, he buried his body in Qingqiu...

Could it be that Chi You was really buried in the Wasteland of the Desolate Gods?

He now understood why Jiang Mingxuan had targeted him; it was probably because he had spent a long time in the Wasteland of the Desolate Gods and had picked up some of his aura, but...

"What do you want Chi You's corpse for?"

"It's very simple!"

Jiang Mingxuan didn't hide anything, "I am Chi You's guardian spirit, and finding the corpse is only to make his power more complete..."

The divine being who serves Chi You, the God of War, seems to have an even higher level of divinity. No wonder I can't see through him. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be an evil person at the moment...

Li Moxuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you intend to storm the God Realm to seek revenge against the Yellow Emperor?"

"No, I'm more interested in the god who defeated him than that..."

Jiang Mingxuan leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed and legs crossed, sighed, and said, "It's just a pity that guy disappeared five years ago, and I've been searching for him for so long without any news..."

Five years ago? Wasn't Su Xuanwei's older brother, Ji Haoxuan, also missing five years ago? Could it be…?

"What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Ji Haoxuan..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanwei was stunned for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal. She was unaware that Jiang Mingxuan had recognized her and didn't want to expose her identity and cause trouble for Li Moxuan...

"Alright, you guys think this deal over carefully!"

Jiang Mingxuan got up and walked towards the door. "I'm staying in room 201 of the inn across the street. If you've thought it through, you can come find me tomorrow!"

After saying that, he left the room and closed the door behind him.

As soon as Jiang Mingxuan left, Cao Yanbing couldn't wait to ask, "Hey, you don't actually know where Chi You is buried, do you?"

Li Moxuan glanced at him and continued eating. "Why are you asking this? You don't mean you want to become a tomb raider and rob people's graves, do you?"

Cao Yanbing coughed lightly, "How could that be? Am I that greedy?"

Li Moxuan rolled his eyes and told him to figure it out himself, then slowly said, "It should be in Qingqiu in the Wasteland of the Desolate God, but I don't know the exact location."

"His terms are indeed quite good, but if we can't find the place where Chi You is buried ourselves, then we'll have to take him into the Wasteland of the Desolate Gods to look for him..."

"As for him, we don't know anything about him, and I'm not comfortable taking him into the Wasteland of the Desolate Gods rashly..."

"Then let's go find it ourselves!"

Cao Yanbing seized the opportunity to speak up: "Why don't we just ask him for some clues, and then call the Imperial Advisor from the Underworld to help?"

"With all those tricks up his sleeve, finding a grave shouldn't be a problem for him..."

Cao Yanbing's words weren't entirely unreasonable. Li Moxuan pondered for a moment, "Hmm... I'll think about it carefully when I get back tonight, and we'll discuss it again tomorrow..."

"Row……"

Soon, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Since this inn was just a restaurant, they still had to find a place to stay on their own.

There was an inn right across the street, but Jiang Mingxuan was staying there. Everyone was still worried about this stranger and decided to find another inn to stay in.

However, after looking around, all the other inns in the area were already full, and it seemed that quite a few people from the Deity Realm had gathered here in a short period of time...

From the innkeeper, Li Moxuan and his companions learned the reason: three days later, people from the Tang Clan would be coming here to recruit new members.

Those who successfully join the Tang Sect as a "Soul Reaper" will receive the sect's protection and can also take on assassination missions within the sect to kill other Soul Reapers and acquire more Spirit Radiance.

Most of the spirits who have recently arrived here are preparing for this...

With no other option, Li Moxuan had to head back, and on the way, he asked Su Xuanwei about his understanding of the Tang Clan.

According to her, the Tang Clan was once a notorious assassination organization in the Great Thousand God Realm.

Rumor has it that they even assassinated the legendary swordsman. In that battle, almost all of the Tang Clan's high-ranking members died, but they also successfully severely injured the swordsman's guardian spirit.

This led to the complete decline of the Tang Sect, whose strength decreased significantly. However, it was still a force to be reckoned with in the Great Thousand God Realm, and basically monopolized the assassination market.

In addition, members of the Deity Sect can earn Spirit Radiance by accepting ordinary missions at various branches of the Tang Sect in different regions.

Those who join the Tang Clan receive more preferential treatment and can take on assassination missions with higher rewards, making them essentially VIPs.

It has to be said that the Tang Clan is really ruthless. They even assassinated a Sword God who hadn't yet ascended to godhood. I wonder how much money the people behind them paid them.

Cao Yanbing didn't suffer a complete loss at the hands of Tie Zu at the Luhua Ancient Tower, after all, his family had a grudge against Tie Zu...
