To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

"For an established Underworld like this, it’s quite normal to produce a Ghost Emperor, let alone a Yama,"

"If it truly is this type of Underworld, then the situation in the Southern Domain that has just stabilized, I’m afraid it’s going to change immediately."

Lu Yuan was clear about his own strength.

If he were only dealing with an Immortal Gate from the Nine Provinces, with the assistance of Qing Immortal Sect and the integration of the Southern Domain Immortal Gates, he still had the strength to fight the opposition.

However, if at this time another Underworld appeared in the rear area, with a Yama within the Yellow Springs Underworld, then Taiping Dao would immediately fall into the awkward situation of fighting on two fronts.

In such a case, let alone holding onto the Southern Domain, even personal safety would become an issue.

If that were to happen, he might as well not stubbornly persist and just give up Changqing Domain, following the example of his predecessors like Emperor Hua Guang, to find a suitable place and settle anew.

This broken Southern Domain, it’s fine not to have it.

"Therefore, the urgent task at hand is to first clarify the details of the Yellow Springs Underworld of Xiaye Country, understand the situation of this newly emerged fourth force, and then make countermeasures."

As Lu Yuan thought this, he immediately contacted Yi Dancheng with his divine sense, instructing them to immediately find Yang Jihua again.

At the same time, he also notified Che Shidao to send a message, to relay the news of Li Ruoqing’s entrapment directly to Dongyang Mountain.

The emergence of this Yellow Springs Underworld was not just a matter for Taiping Dao alone.

As the overlords of the Changqing Domain, Qing Immortal Sect and Dongyang Mountain, as the sect of Li Ruoqing, both Immortal Sects were inextricably linked.

He had no intention of shouldering all the responsibility alone.

If he could call on friends and gather reinforcements, then of course all arrangements should be made.

Otherwise, why would he ignore the advantage of having available help at hand? Would he be a fool?

Over there at Yi Dancheng, after receiving the notification from his true self, the response was very swift.

At this moment, he had just reached an agreement with Yang Jihua, and the two were discussing Tao while brewing tea in the mountains.

As they were engaging deeply in conversation, Yi Dancheng’s expression changed subtly; he set down his teacup and his smile faded.

Seeing his demeanor, Yang Jihua couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yi, what’s wrong?"

Yi Dancheng sighed, "I won’t hide it from Brother Yang. I just received a message from my junior brother that new trouble has arisen in our realm of the Southern Domain. If not handled properly, I fear the Nine Provinces may collapse."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jihua’s expression became solemn, and he quickly questioned, "What happened?"

"Previously, while I was exterminating demons in the Great Eye Kingdom, I encountered a true disciple from Dongyang Domain in the south..."

Yi Dancheng slowly explained the circumstances, concluding, "So now this Brother Li has been swept into the Yellow Springs Underworld that suddenly appeared in Xiaye Country by a Ghost Emperor that emerged there.

The sudden appearance of such an Underworld in Xiaye Country, with the presence of a Ghost Emperor, isn’t that a disaster?

If it can’t be dealt with promptly, once it spreads and in response to the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, I’m afraid that the fall of the Southern Domain is just a matter of days."

After hearing the reasons, Yang Jihua also became grave, and his brows furrowed deeply, showing that he too realized the severity of the situation.

Demons and monsters; these eight characters are what the Immortal Sect refers to those beings that do not follow our path, that are inharmonious with the Human Race and bear malice, the general term used for such different types.

The consequences of these beings appearing on the human territory and becoming active without any restraint can be understood by looking at the current state of the Southern Domain.

People cannot sustain their lives; it is a living hell. That describes it best.

Previously, in this region of the Southern Domain, just having some Great Demons equivalent to the Human Immortals leading them, turned this place into such a state.

Now, if a Yama equivalent to an Earth Immortal were to appear and unite those Great Demons, then in the entire region of the Southern Domain, the Human Race might as well wait for death.

The appearance of a Yama has the same significance for the demons as the appearance of Taiping Dao has for the Immortal Sects.

Both can integrate a region and form a strong power.

Since Taiping Dao appeared, the Immortal Gates of the Nine Provinces have been restless.

And now with the appearance of Yama, it’s Taiping Dao and Qing Immortal Sect’s turn to become restless.

"How could I allow someone else to sleep soundly by the side of my couch?"

Yang Jihua slammed the table and declared resolutely, "Evil ghosts wreaking havoc upon this world, the Underworld disturbing the Yang World, this is a calamity between Yin and Yang that must not be allowed to spread. The Yellow Springs Underworld of Xiaye Country must be eliminated early to prevent these malignant ghosts from causing harm."

This true person of Qing Immortal Sect immediately made his stance clear.

An extermination, it must happen.

The attitude was even more zealous than that of Taiping Dao.

Yi Dancheng understood the urgency of the other party, because although the area of Xiaye Country was part of the Southern Domain, it was also the border between the Southern and Eastern Territories.

In terms of geographical proximity, Xiaye Country bordered directly with the Qing Immortal Sect’s directly governed territory.

If a Yama were to appear here, the threat to Qing Immortal Sect would be even greater than the threat to Taiping Dao.

Should the Yellow Springs Underworld of Xiaye Country really take hold, the first to suffer would be Qing Immortal Sect.

If things get serious, Qing Immortal Sect might even have to open a new battlefront specifically to fight against these ghost cultivators in a ghost extermination battle.

The previously stable Eastern Territory and the last sanctuary of Qing Immortal Sect would also be affected by the war, no longer able to develop peacefully.

Under such circumstances, how could the other party tolerate it?

Therefore, it was imperative to extinguish it before the situation worsened.

If they waited until it spread, it would truly become uncontrollable.

Seeing this, Yi Dancheng also nodded repeatedly, "Brother Yi speaks truly. These ghostly beings, those gloomy dead things that shun reincarnation and linger in the world, are inherently violating the natural cycle of heaven.

Such dead beings, the most hateful towards us living people, cannot be left alone.

It’s just that it’s a newly emerged Yellow Springs Underworld, and we don’t know their confidence level, how many Ghost Emperors they have, and whether there is a Yama among them?

The Underworld is different from the Yang World—prosperous with turbid yin energy. As we cultivators of the clear and spiritual, going there, our magic power and divine powers will be reduced by a third right off the bat.

The disadvantage in fighting them is too great.

Although Taiping Dao wishes to eliminate them, I’m afraid we might not have enough power."

Hearing this, Yang Jihua immediately said, "We will not let Brother Yi’s sect take on the burden alone. I will report back to the sect and ask Earth Flower True Man to mobilize, to join hands with your esteemed sect to exterminate the Yellow Springs Underworld and ensure that the malignant ghosts do not rampage."
