Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

"It's okay to tell you, this matter is related to the overall movement of our Tiandao League."

"You should improve your strength as quickly as possible. Our Tiandao League... is about to launch a large-scale war against the demons!"

After saying that, Xiahou controlled the flying sword and soared into the sky.

"What? Are we about to officially start a war with the demons?"

When everyone heard this, a look of surprise first flashed across their faces, and then excitement followed.

Killing demons and eliminating evil can not only help the country, but also use demon pills to exchange for cultivation techniques and talismans and magic weapons, which are all things that can enhance one's own strength.

For the public, protect the people of the world; for personal gain, exchange for skills and treasures to improve one's own strength.

No matter what the reason is, the people of Tiandao League will not back down!

For a time, teams of black-robed men walked through the human world, heading towards the areas controlled by demons.

All the demons along the way were killed by the people of Tiandao League, and the demon clan fell into panic.

Kyoto, Gokokuji Temple!

A lama was holding a secret letter in his hand. After reading the contents, his face changed drastically.

"Oh no! Humans have actually united to hunt our demon race. The demon race in three areas has even been eliminated by humans."

"If this continues, all of the State Master's plans will be in vain."

"No, we must report this to the Imperial Master immediately!"

The little lama was a direct disciple of the imperial master of the dynasty. At this moment, his face was no longer calm as before, but full of panic.

After passing through the main hall, strolling through the corridor, and crossing the backyard, the little lama came straight to a rockery.

After carefully observing the surroundings and seeing that no one was watching, the little lama pressed the mechanism on the rockery.

Rumble!

As the mechanism was pressed, the entire rockery began to move, and after a moment a passage leading underground was revealed.

The little lama dived into the passage and walked forward in the darkness until a moment later, when the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

I saw an underground cave thousands of feet in size appearing before my eyes. In the center of the cave was a centipede thousands of feet in size, with thousands of legs moving in the air from time to time.

The air flow was filled with a strong fishy smell, and the stone walls of the cave were corroded by the poisonous mist emitted from time to time by the centipede.

Corpses were scattered around the thousand-foot centipede. These were the human bones that it had devoured, but they had already turned black and brittle due to the corrosion of the poisonous fog.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a devil's den in Kyoto.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm in seclusion?"

The thousand-foot-long centipede slowly opened its hundreds of eyes, and its overwhelming pressure filled the entire cave.

"Master, I have something important to report. It concerns the future of our demon race!"

The little lama knelt hurriedly, big drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face was full of fear.

The Thousand-foot Centipede stared at him for a moment, then slowly said, "Speak!"

"Master, a force suddenly appeared half a year ago, called the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"This force is mostly composed of warriors. Since their appearance, they have been hunting down our demon race everywhere."

"I don't know what forces are behind them. Every warrior has talismans and magic weapons, and the strength of these warriors is getting stronger and stronger. Today, there are many masters and even celestial beings in the Tiandao League."

"My demon race has suffered heavy losses!"

"Master, this matter is of great importance. I dare not make the decision on my own. I can only wake you up!"

The little lama quickly finished his story and then waited quietly for the response from the Thousand-foot Centipede.

The thousand-foot-long centipede's body circled in the cave, then slowly shrank, and finally turned into an old lama wearing a cassock.

"Hmm? The Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"How dare you hunt down my demon race? You're courting death!"

The old lama waved his hand, and all the secret letters in the young lama's hand fell into his hands. He quickly read the contents, and then a sneer appeared on his face.

"Humph, you are just a mere underworld force, yet you dare to go against my demon clan."

"It doesn't matter whether you are a warrior or a cultivator. My demon clan now controls half of the high-ranking officials in the court. There is no need for my demon clan to personally deal with you."

"I'm aware of this matter. I'll go to court and meet the Emperor tomorrow!"

The centipede demon didn't say much about what he wanted to do when he met the emperor, but the little lama had already guessed it. He knew that the Tiandao League would not be able to remain arrogant for long.

The next day, the centipede demon led a large group of lamas under his command and marched towards the palace in a mighty manner. The guards guarding the palace along the way ignored them.

Ever since the centipede demon appeared a few years ago, the emperor of the time appointed him as the imperial teacher, allowing him to enter and leave the palace freely and not to bow when he saw the emperor.

Even the prime minister of the current dynasty has never had such an honor.

"Humph, the demon is a disaster for the country!"

However, there were still people in the court who could not stand the other side's behavior, and the Minister of War Fu Tianchou was one of them.

Looking at the centipede demon and his entourage marching into the palace, he couldn't help but wave his sleeves and curse.

"Master Fu, be quiet!"

"This demon is now powerful and deeply trusted by His Majesty. If you offend him, I'm afraid you will suffer the consequences!"

Several colleagues pulled Fu Tianchou's sleeves, signaling him not to be too impulsive.

"Hmph, if he has the guts, go and sue me before His Majesty!"

"He's just a charlatan. I'll see what kind of skills he has."

"Ever since he was appointed Imperial Master, the world has become increasingly chaotic, with evildoers everywhere harming people. I even suspect he's a demon in human form!"

Fu Tianchou glared at the centipede monster and its group that passed by him, and cursed without any concealment!

"Huh? Fu Tianchou, it's that bastard again."

"Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish!"

"That's perfect. I will report to His Majesty and let you lead the troops to suppress the Tiandao League!"

In the sedan chair, the centipede demon naturally heard Fu Tianchou's curses, and anger rose in his heart.

Half of the high-ranking officials in the court have been possessed by the demons under his command, and Fu Tianchou is one of those who has not yet been possessed.

Ever since he was named the National Master, Fu Tianchou has been against him. If he had not been afraid of making it too obvious, he would have killed Fu Tianchou long ago.

Faced with Fu Tianchou's repeated provocations, the centipede demon could no longer tolerate it.

When Centipede Jing thought of the Tiandao League that was killing demons everywhere, he couldn't help but come up with the idea of ​​killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Chapter 270: Traitors are in power

As the morning court session began, the emperor arrived late.

He yawned and sat listlessly on the dragon throne.

"Huh? The Imperial Master actually came to attend the morning court today. This is truly rare!"

The emperor glanced and saw a figure sitting on his left. It was the imperial teacher he had personally appointed.

For a moment, the emperor's eyes lit up, his face full of surprise: "Master, do you still have the elixir you gave me before?"

"I finished the elixir a few days ago, and my energy hasn't been as high as before these past few days!"

Hearing the emperor's question, the centipede demon smiled and said, "Your Majesty, of course we have the elixir."

"I have been in seclusion for this period of time in order to refine the elixir for Your Majesty."

"Before entering the palace, I have brought all the elixirs with me. I will give them to Your Majesty after the court is dismissed!"

The emperor's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even more intense.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Imperial Master. With you here, I will surely be able to achieve immortality!"

The emperor was in his forties, which should have been the prime of his life, but he looked listless, as if all his energy had been drained.

Minister of War Fu Tianchou became more and more angry as he watched. He stepped forward to impeach the evildoer for harming the country, but the centipede demon spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I am in seclusion this time and it will take some time before I come out."

"However, yesterday I had a feeling that a rebel force was about to rise."

"That is why I will come out of seclusion early to report this matter to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty make the final decision."

The centipede demon's words caused the emperor to raise his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise on his face: "What? There are rebels?"

"Under my rule, the world is now at peace, the people live and work in peace, and everyone has enough food and drink. Yet, there are still rebels?"

The emperor was in disbelief. After all, in his opinion, the world was now a peaceful and prosperous place.

"Hahaha, a peaceful and prosperous age? What a peaceful and prosperous age!"

"Your Majesty, please open your eyes, go outside and take a walk and see for yourself!"

"The world is in such a state of chaos these days. Bandits are everywhere and the people are suffering terribly. Bones are everywhere in the fields and people are even eating their own children."

"Your Majesty, this is what you consider a peaceful and prosperous age. Absurd!"

"Your Majesty, you have been blinded by these treacherous ministers and evildoers..."

The Minister of War Fu Tianchou knelt on the ground and burst into tears!

"Ok?"

The emperor's face suddenly changed. He stared intently at Fu Tianchou, who was kneeling in the hall, and said in a cold voice, "Minister Fu, what did you say?"

"You said the people under my rule are suffering miserably. Where does that come from?"

Even though the emperor is stupid, he has been in a high position for a long time, and his temperament is still extremely terrifying.

"Your Majesty, I impeach the Minister of War, Fu Tianchou, for inappropriate behavior in front of the palace!"

"Your Majesty, I am also impeaching Fu Tianchou for his nonsense and for distorting right and wrong."

"Your Majesty, the people of the world are now living and working in peace and contentment, and everyone is grateful for your grace. This Fu Tianchou actually said such treasonous words, he deserves death!"

"I second the motion. Your Majesty, please execute Fu Tianchou!"

Figures stepped out one after another, and they all impeached Fu Tianchou.

Obviously, these are people whose bodies have been possessed by evil spirits. They have long become demons in human skin.

As for those who have not yet been possessed, they are now huddled in the crowd, trembling and not daring to make the slightest sound.

"You...you treacherous villains..."

"My colleagues, please say something."

"Master Chen, Master Li, you both know the situation in the world, why don't you speak frankly in front of His Majesty?"

Fu Tianchou looked at the officials whose bodies were possessed with fiery eyes, and then turned back to look at his "colleagues" behind him, his eyes full of disappointment.

Facing Fu Tianchou's disappointed eyes, and looking at the intentional or unintentional look of the National Master, the group of ministers instantly lowered their heads like quails.

"Humph, Fu Tianchou, I am so disappointed in you!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Fu Tianchou.

Everyone else is praising the prosperous era under his rule as the emperor, but only Fu Tianchou stands out and sings a different tune. What does he mean?

"Come here, bring Fu Tianchou..."

The emperor was furious and was about to confiscate Fu Tianchou's property and exterminate his entire clan, but the centipede demon spoke at the right moment: "Wait a minute!"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the traitor I mentioned?"

"This rebel force is called the Heavenly Dao League. They use the name of "acting on behalf of Heaven" to slaughter innocent people all over the world."

"As far as I know, many innocent people have been killed by them, including officials from many places."

"Your Majesty, Lord Fu Tianchou, as the Minister of War, has worked diligently for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has made great efforts. Why not order him to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?"

"After we destroy the Tiandao League, we will let them atone for their crimes and pardon their death penalty."

"This can be regarded as Your Majesty's sympathy for the old minister, showing Your Majesty's kindness!"

The centipede demon had a wise smile on his face and spoke eloquently!
