Chapter 333: Chapter 256: Breaking Free, Seeking to Slay the Plague

Martial Mansion.

Underground.

“Taoist Brother Fusheng? Are you ready?”

Forced to adopt a dignified demeanor and communicate with the celestial position, with a reflection of a green lotus behind him, Emperor Tang asked in puzzlement.

Zhang Fusheng slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile:

“It’s ready.”

The illusory green lotus quietly dissipated.

Emperor Tang, somewhat at a loss, asked in confusion:

“What just happened? I… I seemed to feel gazes from unknown places staring at me.”

Zhang Fusheng waved his hand with a smile:

“It’s nothing. I went to call for reinforcements.”

The part of the altar he had just established, which connected him and Emperor Tang, was ’one-way’.

Naturally, he didn’t let Emperor Tang see the people and happenings in the bamboo grove.

“Reinforcements?”

Emperor Tang became somewhat interested:

“Where are the reinforcements from? Can they break the Yama Hall pressing above us?”

“Why break that thing? Let’s wait a little longer, and you’ll see.”

Zhang Fusheng spoke briefly, his gaze growing deep, still pondering the matters of the orthodox Church.

The Federal Orthodox Church was the sect recognized by the Federation.

According to the Golden Armored Creatures,

the Federal Orthodox Church could propagate openly, and the official authorities might even allocate some land as the sect’s ’Holy Land’.

Generally speaking, it’s at least the provincial government of a province.

“It’s here.”

Zhang Fusheng suddenly raised his head, and Emperor Tang instinctively looked up as well.

Above the rock layer, a faint gray mist suddenly gathered,

In the next moment, an ancient bridge emerged, spanning the mist from outside!

“Bridge of Helplessness??”

Emperor Tang was both surprised and uncertain:

“How did it come from outside?”

He was astonished. Looking closer, at the end of the bridge, two majestic figures blazing like the sun could be vaguely seen, resembling the Immortals and Buddhas of the past!

Zhang Fusheng let out a soft breath at this moment—it worked!

Previously, he had tried to let the Immortal Shadow outside activate the Bridge of Helplessness to guide the two people suppressed beneath the Yama Hall out,

Unquestionably, he failed.

The Bridge of Helplessness and Yama Hall seemed evenly matched, and he had no ability to truly control this ancient Underworld Bridge,

But with Golden Armored Creatures and Su Qiansuan to help, it became entirely different.

Zhang Fusheng entrusted the Bridge of Helplessness to Su Qiansuan and the Golden Armored Creatures, allowing the two deities to activate it,

And as expected, this time, the Bridge of Helplessness successfully broke the suppression of Yama Hall!

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Fusheng spoke softly, reminding:

“Remember, once outside here, you are not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nor the Celestial Khan, nor Li Shimin.”

“You are merely Li Erfeng—also, do not mention the Cyan Emperor, Emperor Ziwei, and such matters outside.”

Emperor Tang solemnly nodded and said:

“Taoist Brother Fusheng, rest assured, I understand.”

The two stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness, as always, Zhang Fusheng felt as if the entire Underworld was pressing on his shoulders, making it impossible to turn back,

But from the corner of his eye, he could see Emperor Tang casually looking around…

He still didn’t know whether it was because of ’Emperor Ziwei’ or ’Human Lord’?

Most likely, it’s the latter.

Though Emperor Tang was a mortal, he was no ordinary mortal.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly recalled the stone tablet standing outside the Taiji Hall.

’Immortal Gods must not enter without a decree’.

Passing through the chilling mist, as they descended from the Bridge of Helplessness, a bright scene unfolded before their eyes.

Emperor Tang instinctively closed his eyes, and upon reopening them, found himself in a lush bamboo grove.

“Junior Brother Zhang!”

A majestic creature clad in pale golden armor called out:

“Who is the person beside you?”

“A friend, named Li Erfeng.” Zhang Fusheng smiled, introducing each other:

“These two are Golden Armor and Su Qiansuan, also my friends—they have attained the Fruit Position of deities, surpassing even the Celestial Humans.”

The Golden Armored Creature and Su Qiansuan curiously assessed ’Li Erfeng’,

The middle-aged man appeared to have no cultivation—yet he walked alongside Junior Brother Zhang, so how could he be an ordinary person?

More importantly.

The two deities vaguely felt that the middle-aged man exuded an indescribably unique ’great dignity’.

“A Fruit Position above Celestial Humans?”

Emperor Tang, on the other hand, seemed accustomed to such matters, casually asking:

“Arhat or True Man?”

The Golden Armored Creature and Su Qiansuan exchanged a knowing glance, each silently thinking—indeed.

The former replied with a smile:

“Naturally the True Man Fruit Position, anyone can achieve the True Man Fruit Position, but the Arhat Fruit Position can only be cultivated by cultists within Buddhism.”

Emperor Tang furrowed his brows:

“Cultists?”

The Golden Armored Creature felt an inexplicable chill in his heart—although the other party hadn’t emitted any strong aura, it was merely a frown.

He became more cautious, concluding this middle-aged man was far from simple, and carefully explained:

“It’s just the cult as defined by the Federation, sometimes, it naturally might not be true.”

Emperor Tang clicked his tongue, knowing that the more he said, the more mistakes he might make, so he kept silent.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar.

Zhang Fusheng put away the Bridge of Helplessness, frowned, and looked into the distance, noticing a bubble among the many Bubble Heavens outside the bamboo grove shaking, slowly ’detaching’ from the cluster of bubbles.

“Chongyang,” Su Qiansuan said in a low voice, “The Chongyang Heaven and Earth is accelerating its separation from the Golden Province.”

As he spoke,

He pointed upwards.

Zhang Fusheng looked up, above, above the numerous bubbles, a vast land could faintly be seen.

“World Plateau.”

Su Qiansuan sighed softly:

“Chongyang Heaven and Earth is uncontrollably drifting towards the World Plateau, at the latest within three months, perhaps as soon as the next couple of days, it will descend into the World Plateau.”

After a pause, he reminded:

“Junior Brother Zhang, have you noticed the strangeness of Chang’an Town?”

With that, Su Qiansuan recounted the anomaly of the celestial secret,

The golden armored creature nodded:

“I have also sensed the violent disturbance of the celestial secret, announcing to all those who can perceive it, that in the Chongyang Heaven and Earth, in that remote small town, there will be a great opportunity.”

Zhang Fusheng and Emperor Tang exchanged a glance,

The former immediately said:

“Then perhaps I should depart.”

He bid farewell to the two deities, along with Emperor Tang:

“I must return to the Chongyang Heaven and Earth, lest I miss the matter of the Chongyang’s detachment…”

After pausing for a moment,

Zhang Fusheng gave a wry smile:

“After all, as Brother Su said, the World Plateau is vast and boundless, shrouded year-round with a fog that can obstruct divine thought…”

He exhaled a breath of clear air, his expression slightly tense.

Once Chongyang falls into the World Plateau, it will likely land in an uninhabited area, under the cover of a fog that obstructs divine thought,

Will it be possible to search for the Chongyang Heaven and Earth in the World Plateau then?

Difficult.

It would almost be like finding a needle in a haystack.

During this time, it is necessary to wait within the Chongyang Heaven and Earth… Of course, if I don’t return,

I’m afraid even my cenotaph will have been erected!

Su Qiansuan nodded at this moment, warning:

“I do not intend to get involved in the Chongyang change, you need to be careful as well, Junior Brother Zhang, people from various sects have already gathered in the Chongyang Heaven and Earth.”

“Once Chongyang falls onto the World Plateau, sects will definitely establish altars and other such things, summoning powerful individuals from their sects to contend for the unknown great opportunity in Chang’an Town.”

Zhang Fusheng looked at Emperor Tang, and smiled with meaning:

“Rest assured, Brother Su, I am naturally confident.”

The golden armored creature spoke at this moment as well:

“Junior Brother Zhang could consider keeping a low profile….. Have you never revealed some extraordinary to saintly capabilities?”

Zhang Fusheng nodded:

“Never have, to many people, many sects, I am but a grandmaster — at most just entering the innate.”

The golden armored creature nodded thoughtfully:

“This is a good thing, perhaps Junior Brother Zhang can indeed seize that great opportunity… For now, I will have a sparring match with Old Su, put on a show to promote orthodox matters… By the way, what is the name of the New Religion?”

Zhang Fusheng pondered for a moment:

“For now let’s call it New Religion….. I will make a trip back to Chongyang, leave a path marker, to ensure that even if I miss the detachment of Chongyang, I can still find it in the World Plateau.”

“And then, there are two things that I need you two brothers to help with.”

The golden armored creature and Su Qiansuan exchanged a glance, the former said:

“As always, Junior Brother Zhang’s matters are my own, speak freely!”

Zhang Fusheng gave the golden armored creature a deep look, smiling:

“The first thing is, there is a certain place, I plan to integrate it into my Divine Realm, but there is an evil strange peach tree within it, I need your help to suppress it.”

“As for the second thing…”

Zhang Fusheng’s gaze suddenly deepened, lowering his head, he gazed at the Jiangzhou Bubble beneath the bamboo forest.

He squinted his eyes, speaking calmly:

“Since Brother Golden Armor is assisting, there is no longer a need for this ’Kou’ raised by Governor Su, right?”

Su Qiansuan’s expression tensed, knowing that this Junior Brother Zhang still held a lingering resentment over the events in Jiangzhou.

He fell silent for a moment, then softly said:

“There are some things that must be done, I will explain to Junior Brother Zhang in due course.”

Zhang Fusheng did not answer, only said:

“I want to cut down the God of Plague.”

Su Qiansuan nodded:

“Not difficult, the divine embryo of the Plague that descended into this world is still only beyond Celestial Human without reaching the true Divine Spirit Domain, it can be easily cut down…”

Before finishing, he was interrupted by Zhang Fusheng:

“I mean, the true God of Plague.”

The bamboo forest suddenly fell silent, Su Qiansuan, the golden armored creature’s pupils contracted violently, even Ruan Yutu, who was obediently waiting on the side, widened her eyes.

Only Emperor Tang remained very calm.

Zhang Fusheng said calmly:

“Rest assured, when the time comes, Miss Mingyue will descend from the stars to aid us.”

Su Qiansuan and the golden armored creature exchanged a look, the former couldn’t help but remind:

“The true form of the God of Plague is in a Different Dimension, and He is a deity beyond Great Power, seated on a Celestial Position…”

Zhang Fusheng glanced at him without explaining, just smiled:

“I have my methods, right here in Jiangzhou, I can devour this God of Plague.”

Devour??

Su Qiansuan and the golden armored creature became even more puzzled, naturally, Zhang Fusheng would not explain further.

Initially, Miss Mingyue’s plan was to have Niu Dali, who ’devours all’, come to [Devour the God].

Reverse devour the [Celestial Position] by following the descending form of the God of Plague.

And now, having become Celestial Human, once I retrieve the painting scroll from the Peach Tree, and have Miss Mingyue return…

This matter can be revisited.

It’s just that, the one devouring the god will not be Niu Dali, but myself.

Zhang Fusheng no longer spoke, bidding farewell, taking Emperor Tang with him far away, to return to Chongyang — the urgent matter is to deal with the matter of his spirit hall.

Of course.

And also that Yama Hall.

After leaving the bamboo forest, the sound of roaring echoed from behind, a divine war was erupting, Golden Armor and Old Su were putting on a show for the Federation to see.

“Speaking of which, you have a descendant, currently in Chang’an Town.”

On the way, Zhang Fusheng said to Emperor Tang.

……

Outside Chang’an Town.

“The Seal seems to be heating up…” Meng Xiaoshi spoke softly, worriedly glancing at those Celestial Principle Cultists,

These people seemed able to pinpoint the general location of herself and Old Zhao, systematically checking the surroundings.

Sooner or later, they would find their way here.

Zhao Shanhe did not answer, just gently squeezed Meng Xiaoshi’s hand, then whispered:

“The Seal seems to bring a heavy [fortune], capable of turning danger into safety, even avoiding the pursuit of Celestial Humans….. Rest assured.”

Meng Xiaoshi silently nodded, watching the couple personally placing the coffin into the pit,

The photo on the tombstone looked indeed very young, a delicate young man, yet sadly, died young.

Meng Xiaoshi sighed:

“The world is becoming more chaotic, ordinary people like this, their fates are never their own.”

Zhao Shanhe also sighed softly.

The coffin was buried.

(Tomorrow will not be late again….. If late the day after tomorrow, I will continue to add more, sigh)
