Chapter 543: Chapter 459: Great Battle in the Underworld, Four Quasi-Saints_2

Wang Yang said with a smile, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation govern the life and death of all beings in the Three Realms and are the foundation of the Three Realms! I presume Daoist Wutian also knows that the Underworld was originally formed from the body of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, bearing the merit of heaven and earth, thereby creating this mystical land."

"The Demon Clan’s Heavenly Demon calamity had already lost its celestial secret, and the calamities dissipating fate were all overcome with our help to achieve your success! But now, does the Demon Clan still wish to provoke a great calamity in the Three Realms?"

"To start with, reaching out hands towards the Underworld, Daoist Wutian, is it truly fitting for you to come over and blame us concerning right and wrong?"

As Wang Yang spoke, his face had already turned cold.

He knew that all this was orchestrated by the Demon Clan, which Wutian belonged to. Originally, he did not want to see Wutian again, but if he did not stop Wutian here, he feared that in the next moment Wutian would rush to the Underworld.

At such a time, Wang Yang naturally would not gratify his wish.

"Daoist Wang Yang, our cooperation in the battle of Beiju Luzhou was quite pleasant. Why obstruct my way now?"

Wutian’s expression was gloomy, "Moreover, what does the state of the Three Realms have to do with you? You are neither from the Daoist Sect, nor from Buddhism, nor from the Cutting Teachings Sect. If you help me, I believe you could gain much more! Would that not be beneficial?"

Wutian looked at Wang Yang, attempting to persuade him.

"Indeed, I am not from any faction of the Three Realms, but I certainly do not like making deals with a tiger!"

"Wutian, the battle in Beiju Luzhou was set in Beiju Luzhou and did not affect the Three Realms, but now the Demon Clan’s appetite is too great, even thinking about occupying the Underworld and affecting the operation of the Three Realms, which fundamentally destroys the Three Realms."

"Now that I am aware of this, how can I allow you to succeed easily!"

"Perhaps you do not know, but as early as when an anomaly appeared in Hell, Daoist Friend Tongtian had already sent people to investigate. Now the Ten Yama Kings have sealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, your calculations have come to an end!"

Wang Yang looked at Wutian with a sneer. As of today, their relationship had completely ruptured.

The battle in Beiju Luzhou back then, those who could influence the battle had not passed many years before they found themselves on opposing sides.

"If I’m not mistaken, Ksitigarbha Pusa is perhaps also a person from your Demon Clan?"

"Unexpectedly, your Demon Clan really had a premeditated plan, placing such an important role within Buddhism."

"No wonder Ksitigarbha forever guards the Underworld and does not make an appearance, not seen helping Buddhism in the Beiju Luzhou struggle over fate."

"Truly a grand scheme indeed!"

Upon Wang Yang finishing, Wutian’s expression changed.

He was frightened by Wang Yang’s words, who in fact only knew that Ksitigarbha had visited Mount Meru and even then, Buddha’s light brightly followed him on his comings and goings.

As for being from the Demon Clan, Wang Yang was not certain at all.

However, seeing the sudden change in Wutian’s expression, Wang Yang realized he had guessed correctly.

"Daoist Wang Yang, I truly underestimated you! Among those in the Three Realms, I fear even the Saints are not as clever as you!"

"However, it’s a pity that someone as clever as you cannot be utilized by my Demon Clan, I fear there’s only the path of death and disappearance left for you."

Wutian looked coldly at Wang Yang, while a black lotus appeared in the sky nearby.

"Haotian, Yaochi, you must also have been persuaded by now. Since you are against me, you wouldn’t have come alone, would you?"

Wang Yang was unafraid, his title as the foremost under Heaven not simply an idle boast, but truly indicative of his strength.

"Daoist Wang Yang, long time no see!"

Haotian appeared from the space beside them, the Haotian Mirror in hand, and Yaochi, holding a peach branch, with the three Quasi-Saints faintly encircling Wang Yang, ready to make their move at any moment.

"That’s more like it, but do you really think that’s enough to take me down? Wutian, Daoist Friend Tongtian is nearby too!"

Wang Yang watched the three calmly.

"We naturally will not make a move against you, Daoist Friend."

Wutian’s expression fluctuated between grim and sunny, eventually smiling as the black lotus disappeared and he bowed to Wang Yang, saying, "Now that we stand opposed, since you refuse to join my Demon Clan, our next meeting will surely be merciless."

"In memory of our past friendship, I urge you to take care!"

"Take care of yourselves!"

Wang Yang said coldly and unceremoniously to the three of them.

Haotian was somewhat angered and wanted to make a move but was stopped by a look from Wutian.

In the end, Wutian looked at Wang Yang and ultimately left without saying a word.

Wang Yang did not say much further, confirming that Wutian had left and the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld were closed, then he too returned home.

...

"Wutian, why didn’t you act just now?"

"Can’t we take down Wang Yang? At worst, we could spare someone to go to the Underworld and stop them from closing the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Having just returned to Western Cow Hezhou, Haotian spoke with dissatisfaction.

In his view, Wutian’s performance had been a profound disappointment, their conflict was already apparent, no need for courtesy, it was time to strike and kill the opposition.

"Act? If we had acted, could the three of us have safely returned? It’s an unknown."

"Frightening a Saint Taiqing into fleeing, truly slaughtering a Quasi-Saint, could the three of us take him down?"

"Besides, do you really think we could handle Wang Yang before the Leader of the Tongtian Sect reacts? If we get stalled, the three of us might really end up staying there!"

"And, Tongtian might just be nearby watching everything, once we make our move, the Slaying Immortals Sword Array would descend, are you confident?"

Wutian retorted to Haotian.

Wutian spoke with a grave expression.

After all, the people on Wang Yang’s side were not to be trifled with.

However, he was still unaware that Sun Wukong was also watching this matter; once they made a move, Sun Wukong would not hesitate to join the fray.

"Ah!"

Haotian sighed, initially thinking that joining Wutian’s camp might give them the initiative and even some chance of victory.

But in reality, they were at a disadvantage and had exposed themselves instead.

"But now with the situation in the Three Realms, you can rest assured, Tongtian doesn’t have the time to deal with you!"

Wutian seemed to perceive what Haotian was thinking and spoke up to reassure him.

...

In the Underworld, the presence of Empress Houtu and Xingtian, two Quasi-Saints, stopped King Taiyou and the Prison-Suppressing King of the Demon Clan.

The Ten Yama Kings were thereby able to enter Reincarnation City, gathering around the Samsara Pool, the Seal Decrees accelerating, and the seal slowly descending upon the pool.

An hour later, the seal completely settled over the Samsara Pool.

The dense seals suppressed all traces of the aura of reincarnation emanating from the pool, to the extent that even the Ten Yama Kings standing beside it could not feel the slightest power of reincarnation.

Meanwhile, changes were also occurring in the Underworld as the Samsara Pool was sealed.

The path to the Yellow Springs gradually became unclear, even the regular Underworld Envoys were now unable to find the route to the Naihe Bridge.

And the Naihe Bridge, usually guarded by Meng Po, was now completely submerged by the waters of the Yellow Springs, impassable to both the ghostly Underworld Envoys and the Ghost King Yin Marshal.

"Hmph, King Taiyou, see this? The Six Paths of Reincarnation are now closed, your Demon Clan’s plots and schemes will never succeed!"

Upon witnessing this, Houtu couldn’t help but look delighted, and after repelling the Taiyou Sword with her Samsara Circle of Bitter Sea, she spoke to King Taiyou.

At this moment, the ghosts outside Fengdu City were nearly wiped out; even if the Six Paths of Reincarnation were reopened, there weren’t many left to undergo reincarnation!

"This matter isn’t over yet, the Demon Clan will eventually dominate the Three Realms! Then, you all can prepare to accompany the Three Realms in burial!"

King Taiyou, knowing today’s efforts were futile, dropped a fierce remark, withdrew the Taiyou Sword, and turned to leave.

Empress Houtu did not pursue, just watching the direction King Taiyou was leaving, fearing he might suddenly strike back.

"Xingtian, today’s events, this seat will remember!"

From the skies above the Underworld, the enraged roar of the Prison-Suppressing King echoed.

Today, their Demon Clan’s plot against the Underworld had utterly failed, and although unwilling, they were powerless to change it.

With injuries already on him and facing the war god Xingtian in further combat, he might even end up captured by him.

With King Taiyou having decisively left, he would be a fool not to follow.

"Empress Houtu, how capable is this Demon King of the Demon Clan?"

After the two had left, Xingtian appeared beside Empress Houtu and asked.

"Quite formidable, even I cannot suppress this King Taiyou."

"However, how did you get here?"

Houtu looked on in surprise
