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

Sitting in the main seat, Huangfu Longdou stared at Ying Chengfeng and said slowly, "Don't worry, you're the only one here capable of using the Supreme Divine Pearl. I won't mind!"

Ying Chengfeng gave Huangfu Longdou a deep look and slowly said, "I did see the future, but due to the excessive consumption of spiritual energy, I did not see too far ahead."

"In the future, besides the Kingdom Organization with the Void Pearl, the Spirit Realm with the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl, and the Dragon Fighting Divine Martial Spirit Legion, Cao Yanbing, who possesses the Xihe Divine Pearl, will unite with two other Martial God Bodies to become the most threatening fourth force!"

Tie Zu asked in surprise, "You mean, Cao Yanbing will affect the balance of the three major forces?"

The sorcerer standing to the side said calmly, "As expected, we've raised a tiger only to have it become our own enemy!"

Snow Elephant even suggested, "Why don't we go and kill him right now!"

Unlike them, Xuanma noticed something amiss: "Did you forget to mention one faction? The Greedy Battalion, which is also a force under the Spirit Domain, is currently at its zenith."

"Moreover, the Greedy Camp has a Spirit Master with the strongest Human Martial Spirit, and there are quite a few other powerful Spirit Masters as well. Could it be that the Greedy Camp disappeared in the future?"

"That's what I find strange..."

Ying Chengfeng frowned, a look of confusion in his eyes. "In the future I see, the Killing Emperor of the Greedy Camp has appeared in the camp of the Hall of Heroes."

"Moreover, the Greedy Camp has never served the Spirit Realm; it has always remained neutral..."

After a brief moment of thought, Huangfu Longdou said, "Perhaps the current Greedy Camp is not truly loyal to the Spirit Realm. In the future, they may simply choose to extricate themselves from the chaos and not participate in the struggle!"

"As for that Killer Emperor, he was probably poached by the Hall of Heroes!"

Ying Chengfeng could only agree with Huangfu Longdou's guess. After all, how could the future seen by the Supreme Divine Pearl be wrong?

Moreover, if the future has already changed, then the Supreme Divine Pearl would have lost its luster long ago...

"I've been so busy talking about me. I heard you went to Luhua Ancient Tower, Long Dou. How did it go?"

"Everything is normal. As long as Xuanma can open a passage inside, we can easily get what we want!"

"And next month is the time when the Luhua Ancient Tower will appear. At that time, it will be in your hands, Xuanma..."

"Leave it to me..."

……

Demon Forest, Donglai Inn.

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the angel race and..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Inside the inn, Li Moxuan stopped the waiter who was pouring tea and glanced back at the forest behind him, which exuded an eerie aura.

"We've heard all of this before. Do you have any new information?"

"Yes, yes!"

Bai Shui'er took out a photo of Yang Qianhong, "Have you ever seen this person?"

"This person..."

The waiter stared at the photo in her hand, scratched his head, and pondered deeply. "Maybe... perhaps... possibly... let me think..."

Li Moxuan glanced at him and tossed a small bag of gold coins onto the table. "Now do you remember?"

"Cough cough..."

The waiter picked up the small bag, took out a gold coin, took a bite, and immediately smiled broadly before putting the coin away.

"Sir, this young lady did indeed come here a month ago. I remember she was accompanied by a one-eyed girl wearing an eye patch!"

A one-eyed girl wearing an eyepatch? That must be Yang Luoqi from the Hall of Heroes...

"What about them?"

The waiter pointed to the Demon Forest not far behind Li Moxuan, "They didn't stay at the shop for long, they just rested for a while before entering the Demon Forest!"

Did they explain why they had to go in?

"Sir, you are unaware of this!"

The waiter pointed to the high mountain in the center of the Demon Forest, "That mountain is called Seven Sins Ridge. If you want to continue westward, you must leave through the formation at the top of the mountain!"

"Originally, there was a flying dragon boat here to transport passengers, but two months ago, the flying dragon died of illness, and its offspring are too young to carry the flying boat, so the service has been temporarily suspended."

"Those who want to get there now either have to cross the Demon Forest and climb to the top of Seven Sins Ridge, or they'll have to take a much longer route..."

Li Moxuan roughly understood that Yang Qianhong and Yang Luoqi had most likely disappeared because they entered the Demon Forest.

He then took out a large bag of gold coins and threw it to the waiter, saying, "Arrange four rooms for us. We'll rest here for the night and then go inside to take a look!"

"No need, three rooms are fine!"

Bai Shui'er pulled Diao Lingyun's arm, "I'll sleep with Lingyun..."

"This one……"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Sir, I suggest you rest in our shop for a while longer, and then travel together when there are more customers..."

"What's wrong?"

Li Moxuan glanced at him. "Could it be that there's a big tiger in the woods?"

"No... ptooey, not a worm, it's a demon!"

Chapter 39: The Second Knight of the Kingdom Organization

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, angels..."

Li Moxuan tapped the table to interrupt him, "Get to the point!"

"Ahem, sir, you may not know this, but this forest is called the Demon Forest because the souls of many demons who died at the hands of angels are trapped here, unable to reincarnate!"

"No one who has gone in has ever come out, which is why the flying dragon boat was set up here. Now that the flying dragon boat has stopped operating, many people are taking the risk of going in, but no one has been able to reach the top of the mountain!"

"A group of spirit mediums did go in earlier, but not long after, only one spirit medium, covered in blood and driven mad, ran out. He died after running out..."

"So, sir, you'd better be patient. Either wait until more people travel together, or you can take a detour!"

"It's better than losing my life!"

The group of spirit mediums he mentioned was probably the same group that Old One sent out. Were they all dead...?

"No need, just listen to me, you won't be shortchanged!"

They came to find Yang Qianhong, so why would they take a detour?

"This……"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then sighed and could only go upstairs to clean the room. This group of people was just like the previous group; they wouldn't listen to advice!

"Xi Chen, what do you think?"

"I can't see..."

Yuan Xichen yawned, "But it sounds like they either died inside or are trapped inside. We'll find out when we go in!"

"By the way, do you want this?"

He took out a crucifix. "Since it's a demon, this thing might be useful..."

Bai Shui'er was a little embarrassed. "Xi Chen, how can a Taoist priest like you use a Western cross?"

"Yes, that's not all. I've made thorough preparations!"

Yuan Xichen opened his backpack and emptied its contents, which included not only a Bible, a religious icon, and an exorcism dagger, but also garlic…

"You must have picked these things up from a roadside stall? They don't seem as good as your peach wood sword..."

Li Moxuan picked up the Bible, flipped through it briefly, and tossed it to Yuan Xichen, who caught it and put it back in her backpack.

"Everyone has their own expertise, and Taoist priests aren't specifically tasked with dealing with those Western demons!"

The difference between Western demons and Eastern monsters is huge, just like the Western dragon and the Eastern dragon are not the same creature at all.

He looked at Bai Shui'er and Diao Lingyun, "Would you two like to choose one to defend yourself?"

"No, I don't like it!"

Diao Lingyun hurriedly waved her hand, and Bai Shui'er also indicated that she did not need it.

"I suggest you keep it for yourself!"

Li Moxuan took out the last two substitute puppet talismans, "Shui'er, Lingyun, stretch out your hands!"

The two exchanged a glance, and although they didn't understand, they obediently extended their hands.

Li Moxuan gathered his spiritual power at his fingertips and swept it across, leaving a wound on each of their fingers. Blood dripped down their fingers and landed on the two substitute puppet talismans.

A flash of golden light appeared on the talisman, then slowly dissipated, turning into golden specks that merged into the bodies of the two individuals.

Bai Shui'er and Diao Lingyun carefully examined their bodies but didn't feel anything. "Brother Mo Xuan, what is this?"

"This is a substitute puppet!"

Li Moxuan picked up a cup of tea. "When you are in mortal danger, this thing will automatically trigger, leaving behind a lifelike puppet to help you escape..."

"You have such a good thing and you didn't even give me one..."

Yuan Xichen was filled with resentment. It was the first time he had ever seen such a talisman. He wished he could study it...

"With so many 'sacred relics' in your possession, why covet this little trinket of mine?"

"Brother Moxuan, if you give this to us, what will you do?"

"Don't worry, I have plenty of good stuff on me!"

For example, the four divine beads in my hand, although they are imitations, have the same effect as the real ones.

When the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl is unleashed at full power, it can even put up a fight against Huangfu Longdou.

"Alright, I'm going upstairs to rest now. We'll set off tomorrow morning!"

Watching Li Moxuan's retreating figure as he walked towards the stairs, Diao Lingyun felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Perhaps... it wasn't such a bad thing after all...

The next morning, the four of them stepped into the Demon Forest.

Stepping into the forest, a stench of decay hits you, and underfoot lies a thick layer of fallen leaves that rustle softly underfoot.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional strange bird calls, sharp and piercing, seemingly issuing a warning or cursing every intruder.

"I hate the smell here..."
