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

"Fine, whatever you want..."

Chapter 342: Words Become Law

"However, there's something I need to remind you of..."

Shi Mo's expression turned serious. "Li Mu and the others are currently helping the Yellow Emperor find a suitable host deity..."

Jiang Ciyou remained calm; she had anticipated this all along. Although the Yellow Emperor supported her, his subordinates might not be so happy.

Once they find a suitable host for the Yellow Emperor, the so-called Yanhuang Alliance will probably disintegrate, and they might even become rivals.

Jiang Ciyou had no solution to this problem. She had too few capable people under her command, and the only strong one was Xing Tian. Moreover, she had not yet found a suitable host god.

Even Shi Mo, who was standing in front of him, was strictly speaking from the Yellow Emperor's camp. His reminder was probably out of consideration for their past relationship, so that he could prepare in advance.

Jiang Ciyou understood all this. Her desire to bring Li Moxuan into the fold was also a preparation for the future disintegration of the Yanhuang realm, as the Great Thousand God Realm could not accommodate two kings...

"Uncle Shi, if the Yanhuang Alliance really disbands in the future and we meet on the battlefield, will you attack me?"

Shi Mo sighed and looked up, "Jiang girl, I hope that day will never come..."

After saying that, he turned and left the room, having given his answer.

Jiang Ciyou, leaning against the window, sighed softly, a little frustrated. "Starting from scratch is really difficult. I really don't know how the Hongwu Emperor managed it..."

Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang) started with a bowl and gradually rose to the throne.

While I'm not that bad, judging from the chaotic state of the Great Thousand God Realm and my opponents, I'm not far off either...

The following day, Li Moxuan, Jiang Ciyou, and Shi Mo arrived at the Emperor's Fall Mountain Range. This entire mountain range was within the Ghost Domain, and the outer perimeter was inhabited by demonic creatures of the Forging Realm level.

According to the plan, Shi Mo, who was at the Immortal Realm 3, would attract the attention of the demons from the outside, while Li Moxuan and Jiang Ciyou would take advantage of the demons' attention to enter the interior and try to evacuate.

Shi Mo walked directly to the group of demons guarding the outer edge of the Emperor's Fall Mountains. These world-forging level demons were nothing to him, but he needed to make a big enough commotion...

"Cangjie, time to get to work!"

Behind Shi Mo, Cangjie, with his four eyes and an elegant robe, slowly appeared. Looking at the surging demons, he held the Imperial Brush in his hand and wrote the character "arrow" in the air.

The character "arrow" flew into the sky, instantly transforming into countless divine arrows that indiscriminately fired at the demons below. Each arrow exploded upon impact, creating a devastating bombardment...

Immediately afterwards, Cangjie wrote down the character "dragon," which instantly transformed into a white dragon soaring into the sky.

After a dragon's roar, it unleashed its breath on the approaching demons, which were instantly engulfed in flames...

"That's amazing?"

Li Moxuan clicked his tongue, somewhat surprised. This was practically a case of words becoming law! He wondered what would happen if he wrote the word "death." Would the other person die instantly?

Jiang Ciyou, who was observing the situation ahead, waved to Li Moxuan, "Alright, we've made enough noise, let's sneak in quickly!"

"They're here..."

The two infiltrated the Ghost Realm, and as they expected, almost all the demons in the Ghost Realm were alerted and were coming to their aid from all directions.

Their movements were orderly, and they were wearing armor, carrying various weapons, and pushing crossbows, just like a group of soldiers.

It's highly likely that the immortal-level demon is directing things from behind; ordinary demons wouldn't have this kind of fighting mentality...

"Can your uncle handle it?"

Li Moxuan couldn't hold back any longer as he watched a group of demons riding griffins across the sky. How come they even have an air force?

Jiang Ciyou was quite relieved, "There shouldn't be any problem. He's at the third level of the Immortal Realm. These demonic creatures are at most creations; they won't pose any threat to him..."

The two continued forward and soon arrived at the center of the Ghost Realm, where a strange and cold black palace stood, guarded by scattered demons from the four realms of creation.

Hiding behind the rock, Jiang Ciyou turned to Li Moxuan beside her and said, "It doesn't look like much. Are you confident you can handle it?"

Li Moxuan remained silent, donned the Myriad Forms Mask at his waist, drew his sword, and stood up. The space behind him shattered, revealing the figures of those demonic creatures.

To Jiang Ciyou's astonishment, he dispatched the group of unsuspecting demons with just two or three sword strikes...

Standing on the other side of the spatial passage, Li Moxuan sheathed his sword and waved at her, "All done, come on over!"

Jiang Ciyou walked through the spatial passage and arrived in front of the palace. She asked curiously, "You can shatter space... Is this the power of your guardian deity?"

No matter where you are, manipulating space and time is utterly treacherous, and the Great Thousand God Realms are no exception...

"That's it!"

Li Moxuan didn't want to explain too much about this. He pushed open the palace gate and stepped inside, where he was greeted by another group of demons dressed in fine armor.

Although these demons were all at the fifth level of the Creation Realm, it was commonplace for Li Moxuan to fight beyond his realm, let alone these who were just minions...

Jiang Ciyou also entered the palace. Looking at the monster corpses scattered all over the ground, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't we agree to infiltrate?"

"Those who knew we were coming are all dead. What's the difference between this and infiltration?"

Li Moxuan just wanted to finish quickly, eat, and leave as soon as possible. "Which side are you searching?"

Jiang Ciyou understood what he meant and shook her head, "Let's go together! It's too dangerous to go alone!"

She needed to see what Li Moxuan's guardian spirit would do; she couldn't lose track of it. After all, someone who could manipulate space was definitely not simple...

"Alright then, just don't hold me back..."

Jiang Ciyou's face immediately darkened. He was at the initial stage of Immortal Realm, who was going to hold him back? It seemed he had to demonstrate his strength!

Soon, the two encountered another group of monsters. This time, Jiang Ciyou stopped Li Moxuan, who was about to make a move, and said, "I'll show you my strength!"

She did not appear before the demon. With a stomp of her foot, divine power flowed into the ground and surged towards the demon, transforming into thorny vines that pierced through the earth and entangled it.

Before these monsters could even break free of the thorny vines, they foamed at the mouth, collapsed to the ground, and slowly turned into corpses...

Jiang Ciyou snorted, "See that? That's what you call infiltration. They died before they even saw the enemy!"

"sharp……"

Li Moxuan gave a perfunctory reply and continued to advance into the palace, leaving Jiang Ciyou feeling somewhat powerless. Did this guy only care about money?

However, she still remembered the purpose of her visit. Making money was secondary; her main goal was to find out the background of Li Moxuan, the guardian deity.

However, these demons were only at the fifth and sixth level of the Creation Realm, which Li Moxuan could handle on his own. He didn't even see his guardian deity have a chance to intervene.

Hopefully, the monsters later on will be stronger...

Chapter 343: Lord of the Ghost Realm

To their surprise, they did not encounter any more monsters after that. However, although the palace looked small, it was actually quite complex inside, like a maze.

Li Moxuan and Jiang Ciyou searched for a long time, but not only did they fail to find the room where Linghui was hidden, they also couldn't find their way out.

"Strange...we seem to have been here before. Have we gotten lost again?"

"It's probably not as simple as just getting lost; we're trapped inside a formation..."

Even if Li Moxuan were stupid, he should have realized by now that they had entered a formation, just like Yuan Xichen's Heavenly Calculation Maze. The two of them were already lost within the formation.

It seems the leader of this group of monsters is quite intelligent...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyou immediately realized what he meant, her delicate brows furrowing. "Then what should we do? Should we just tear down all these walls?"

She had heard of formations, but had never broken one, so she seemed a bit at a loss...

"Foolish! Using brute force to break through an array is always the dumbest method. Unless your strength absolutely overwhelms the person who set up the array, you'll only trap yourself!"

Li Moxuan had entered and broken through formations before, and had also learned some formation techniques from Yuan Xichen, so he had some experience in breaking through this kind of maze.

He bent down, closed his eyes, and placed his hands on the ground. Divine power surged into the ground and flowed in all directions through his hands. With the help of the power of the Xihe Divine Pearl, Li Moxuan began to observe the surrounding space.

"This is a Qimen formation..."

Li Moxuan quickly noticed something was wrong. The surrounding space was changing every few minutes, which was clearly a characteristic of the Qimen Formation!

This formation isn't difficult to break. Just find the direction of the exit gate and keep walking until you can get out of the formation...

Using his keen spatial awareness, Li Moxuan quickly found the direction of the exit. "Follow me..."

Jiang Ciyou didn't doubt Li Moxuan and followed him forward. There were no familiar places around, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You can actually break formations!"

"I learned it from a friend; what I have is nothing compared to what he has..."

Jiang Ciyou coughed lightly, "Then could you introduce your friend to me?"

Li Moxuan was stunned. This person wanted to poach him right in front of him, and even asked him to help introduce him.

He resolutely refused, "Don't even think about it..."

"You...you're not making up friends out of thin air, are you?"

"..."

As they spoke, the two arrived in front of a huge bronze palace gate. Jiang Ciyou examined the bronze palace gate and asked, "Is this the exit?"

"no……"

Li Moxuan pushed open the palace door. Inside, both sides of the hall were piled high with glittering spirit coins. Directly opposite him stood a person wearing a black robe, with only a pair of scarlet eyes visible.

At this moment, a group of fully armed demons emerged from behind Li Moxuan and Jiang Ciyou, their general cultivation levels around the fifth realm of creation.

Clearly, this red-eyed, black-robed figure is the leader of this group of demons, the Lord of the Ghost Realm...

Who are you?

The Lord of the Ghost Realm did not rush to let these demons capture the two people, but instead asked in a deep voice.

Li Moxuan ignored him and asked Jiang Ciyou beside him, "You can have this guy, and I'll take care of the rest, okay?"

"It should be fine... right?"

Jiang Ciyou's expression showed a slight surprise. The Ghost Domain Lord's realm was different from the intelligence. Judging from his undisguised aura, he should be at the second level of the Immortal Realm.

I am only at the initial stage of Immortality, and I am more inclined to support rather than engage in direct combat. Fighting across realms is not so easy.

The higher one's divine realm, the lower the possibility of fighting across realms. It's not as some master said, that there are no useless guardian deities, only useless host deities...

The battles between the gods largely depend on the strength of their guardian deities. After all, no matter how strong the gods are, they are still just humans, and humans are the limit!

Simply put, the lower limit of the host is determined by the host, and the upper limit is determined by the guardian deity. To exceed the upper limit, it depends on the level of understanding between the two.

Fortunately, although I'm not good at head-on combat, my opponent is also a demon without a guardian spirit. Even if I'm a small realm lower than it, I should still be able to fight it...

"Emperor Yan, can we fight him?"
