Chapter 350 -212: The Ninth Transformation Immortal Descends to the Mortal World, Loses to the Dragon Cavalry with a Lift of the Spear
The wind rose and then ceased, making the pond full of lotus flowers sway.
King Wu smiled kindly and waved, “Let’s go, time to eat.”
“This is just the beginning, many more interesting things are to follow.”
“But those are merely trivial matters, far from the grandeur of the King’s Battle of the past.”
Xuanping took a deep breath, unable to help but worry for Chen Qing.
According to what King Wu said, Chen Qing needed to personally defeat many monarchs with Royal Decrees to qualify for the throne of the Lord of the Dead World, gain recognition from the Six Dao Ghosts, and become the Crownless King.
They still had a long road ahead to achieve kingship.
Immediately, she regained her composure.
The path had brought them this far, so she would give her all to help Chen Qing win.
“Alright, let’s go eat, I’ve been craving the palace food for a long time.”
At the guard palace, Yan Sisi had seen off Wushang as he set out again, and once she had some free time, she waited at the doorway.
After three days, she finally awaited someone’s arrival.
The person was clad in red, carrying a crimson long sword on his back, garbed in an ancient Daoist robe.
He seemed to blend seamlessly with the world, his actions effortless and harmonious.
He arrived at the door, looked around for a moment, then turned toward Yan Sisi with some confusion and asked, “Who are you, and why do you have my sword talisman?”
Yan Sisi dismissed the guards on both sides, stepped forward, and said, “Is it Brother True Yang before me?”
True Yang nodded slightly, “And you are?”
Yan Sisi said, “I am the sister of the owner of the sword talisman, my elder brother has ventured into the Death Realm, so he left the sword talisman with me.”
True Yang took a close look at Yan Sisi, “No wonder your brother thought of himself as an abnormal person, turns out you are one too.”
Yan Sisi invited him, “Please Brother True Yang, come inside for a detailed discussion!”
After discussing recent events involving Chen Qing with True Yang, he looked up at the moon and sighed, “Truly, the world is ever-changing. I always knew your brother was no ordinary person, but I hadn’t expected he’d create such a monumental foundation.”
“Are you seeking me to follow me to the immortal mountain?”
Yan Sisi shook her head, “I wish to embark on the path of cultivation, to sever this life, and assist my elder brother.”
True Yang smiled wryly, “This path is difficult and not for the faint-hearted.”
Yan Sisi replied, “What could possibly be more arduous than being an abnormal person?”
True Yang immediately recalled his own experiences, empathizing, “Indeed.”
“Very well, I shall teach you the path of cultivation!”
Yan Sisi bowed respectfully, “Please, master, teach me how to cultivate while continuing to possess the abilities of an abnormal person!”
True Yang said with utmost seriousness, “You must make your body a Gu, your Lifebound Gu!”
“The first thing you need to do is transform yourself into a Gu.”
“This is a path of no return. Once you begin, there is no turning back.”
“Are you sure about this?”
Yan Sisi nodded, “I am sure.”
She looked at True Yang earnestly, with a touch of wistfulness, “Actually, Master.”
“We never truly had a choice, did we?”
True Yang fell silent.
He had no words to offer.
…
At that moment, Chen Qing felt an urge to curse.
“Ji Dang really is something else, isn’t he!”
“This guy actually executed a scorched-earth retreat!”
In the vast lands, Chen Qing couldn’t find a single Merit Token.
He had secretly infiltrated three cities and docks, getting discovered twice, but luckily, thanks to his Undying Body, he managed to escape.
None of these cities stored any merit.
Ji Dang had such a hold on the merits that every piece had to be meticulously accounted for.
And now, except for the Heavenly Dragon City guarded by Li Chonghuan, there was virtually no Merit Token left in the entire Da Yan territory.
Chen Qing returned once more among the Dragon Cavalry, Lu Shenglong quickly stepped forward to inquire, “Lord Wen, how did it go?”
Chen Qing shook his head, “Ji Dang has seized control of all available merit, and now, if we want to acquire merit, we must escort souls to the White Bone River in the Death Realm.”
But everyone knew that in the current state, Ji Dang wouldn’t possibly give them such an opportunity.
Chen Qing said, “Prepare, we’re heading to Naihe Bridge.”
Chen Qing led the army forward for a while, only to find several scouts ahead, not many, just two or three.
And they all had excellent agility, with powerful Escape Techniques.
“Upon discovery, extinguish them immediately!”
Xuan Mang said, “Lord Wen, doing so will slow down our march.”
“Kill them anyway!”

“I dislike operating under the enemy’s watchful eye.”
Just then, about three hundred men suddenly appeared ahead, each clad in white armor, resembling Heavenly Soldiers.
At the forefront stood a young general in white robes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright starry eyes, radiating an unusual presence.
Amidst the mist, Chen Qing mounted his Green Bull and shouted, “That young general there, do you know who I am, and yet you dare to block my way?”
The young general rode forward, “It is precisely because I know Lord Wen is ahead that I must come.”
“Lord Wen should also know, orders, like mountains, are not to be defied.”
Chen Qing rather admired this young general, “State your name!”
The young general, with his right hand, drew his sword and saluted Chen Qing slightly, “Heavenly Master Mansion’s Yan Xingchen, requesting guidance from Lord Wen.”
Chen Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You are the most outstanding person in the current Heavenly Master Mansion, famed as the Ninth Transformation Immortal descending to the mortal world, reposing across eight thousand acres of the starry river, Yan Xingchen.”
Yan Xingchen said solemnly, “Just a mere reputation, nothing compared to Lord Wen.”
With the eight hundred Dragon Cavalry now present, the opposing force didn’t seem like elite troops, Chen Qing immediately judged, “Ji Dang is near.”
Lu Shenglong asked, “Is Lord Wen saying these people are risking their lives to hold us because Ji Dang is approaching?”
