"Zhou Xuanmen, we meet again!"

The Divine Monarch Guobao looked towards Zhou Xuanmen, his face revealing a sneer but ignoring Xiao Mu standing behind him.

Lord of the Nether River appeared to be exceedingly polite, giving a fist-palms salute to Zhou Xuanmen and laughing, "Brother Zhou, long time no see, Yu Tong greets you with respect."

He paused for a moment, then continued with a laugh, "We have long known Brother Zhou would come here, and have specifically waited for your arrival."

Zhou Xuanmen's gaze shifted from the Divine Monarch Guobao to Lord of the Nether River, speaking coldly, "Guobao, Nether, spare me the pretense. Do you really think I'm unaware of your intentions? If you wish to besiege me, the two of you alone are hardly qualified."

"Brother Zhou is indeed well-informed, to know that we plan to besiege you," said Lord of the Nether River Yu Tong with a slight surprise, "But knowing our intentions, you still dared to come. Isn't that a bit too bold?"

Zhou Xuanmen placed his hands behind his back, responding indifferently, "A stray dog only barks loudly; upon facing someone daring to strike, it immediately flees with its tail between its legs. Why would I be afraid?"

"You..." The Divine Monarch Guobao was furious, glaring angrily at Zhou Xuanmen.

Lord of the Nether River Yu Tong waved his hand to stop the enraged Guobao, persuading with a smile, "Let the man who faces death bark a few times, what harm is there?"

Hearing this, the Divine Monarch Guobao's rage stopped abruptly, but his malicious gaze remained fixed on Zhou Xuanmen, as if he had already fallen into their trap with no escape.

Lord of the Nether River turned to Zhou Xuanmen again and laughed:

"Brother Zhou sure has a quick tongue, but it means nothing. On the battlefield, the might of a warrior prevails; the weaker can curse all they want, but they are destined to be trampled beneath the feet of the strong."

"Today, Brother Zhou, you are cornered by me and Brother Guobao. Do you truly believe you still have a chance of survival?"

Seizing the opportunity, Divine Monarch Guobao roared, "Zhou Xuanmen, your end has come. Brother Yu and I have meticulously planned this, to ensure your capture. If I were you, I'd start preparing for death."

"Your voice, in my ears, is but the barking of a dog."

Zhou Xuanmen cast a disdainful glance at Divine Monarch Guobao, "I am not fated to die, so why would I prepare for it? Guobao, Nether, to think I would come alone, without any preparations, upon receiving word of your ambush—how laughable. Brother Wu, please show yourself."

As he spoke, Zhou Xuanmen turned to look westward, and with a respectful gesture of his hands, saluted the depths of the western clouds.

"Haha! Hahahaha! Brother Zhou, you're too kind. Wu is on his way!"

From the western sky, a cluster of white clouds suddenly turned a dark hue, and from within the darkness, exuberant laughter could be heard. Amidst the laughter, the dark clouds rapidly approached the side of Zhou Xuanmen and Xiao Mu.

Above the clouds exuded the imposing pressure of Reincarnation. The dark clouds swooped in at a speed nearly impossible for the eyes to catch, stopping close to the grayish-white clouds near Zhou Xuanmen.

Senior Zhou has even sought assistance, and it is a True God.

Xiao Mu looked towards the dark clouds in surprise and disbelief, immediately recognizing the man standing atop them.

He was of average stature, with a strong physique and a demeanor both resolute and unyielding. On and above him, the virtual images of Reincarnation Seals could be seen everywhere.

Numerous images of Reincarnation Seals floated around him, supporting his body.

A True God of the Reincarnation System, this person, just like Lord of the Nether River, hailed from the Reincarnation System. Ruminations filled Xiao Mu as to where Senior Zhou could have found such an ally.

Amazed, Xiao Mu watched the recently arrived Wu Yang, harboring incredulity in his expression.

He couldn't comprehend why a Divine Spirit from the Reincarnation System would assist Zhou Xuanmen, siding with their own.

"Guobao, Nether."

Zhou Xuanmen with a smiling face, looked relaxingly over Lord of the Nether River and Divine Monarch Guobao, his calm gaze full of disdain.

Finally, sweeping his gaze around, it settled on Xiao Mu, and he casually introduced, "Xiao Xiao, let me introduce someone to you. This is none other than Wu Yang, Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead. Under the command of Emperor Miaoyi, Wu has come to lend his aid from the Human world, to assist in capturing both Nether and Guobao."

The Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead, this one is the Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead!

Xiao Mu was astonished and delighted upon hearing Zhou Xuanmen's introduction. He had thought the Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead had perished during the Ancient Great War and was no longer of this world.

More than that, this powerful being had come to the Human world in a time of crisis, to assist the Human world in their battle against the Heavenly Court.

"Xiao Mu pays respects to Elder Wu."

Xiao Mu stood on the clouds and gave Wu Yang a clasped-hands salute. Facing a strong character of the True God Level, he had to show respect.

"Xiao Xiao, so you are Xiao Mu. I have heard the Emperor mention you. The Emperor seldom praises anyone, and yet he complimented you for being young, talented, and greatly gifted, destined to become one of the strongest."

Wu Yang carried himself with extraordinary composure, revealing an appreciative smile to Xiao Mu.

"Senior Miaoyi flatters me too much."

Xiao Mu smiled upon hearing this, and casually asked Wu Yang, "Senior Wu, how is the Emperor doing now? Has his injury improved at all?"

"The Emperor is doing okay; he just misses you a bit, friend Xiao Mu. When you have some free time, you should go and visit him again."

Wu Yang paused for a bit, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before continuing.

"The Emperor actually has me in his thoughts, such a minor character."

Xiao Mu was delighted and astonished, and quickly said, "Please tell the Emperor on my behalf, after the matters of Twilight Forest Village are resolved, I will definitely go to visit him."

"Alright, Xiao Xiao, friend Wu, now is not the time for reminiscing. The affairs between you can be discussed after the battle; it is not too late."

Zhou Xuanmen suddenly couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Mu and Wu Yang's conversation.

Xiao Mu gave an awkward smile, and Wu Yang, with great etiquette, gave Xiao Mu a nod and then turned his head to look at the Lord of the Nether River and Divine Monarch Guobao, no longer saying much to Xiao Mu.

"Guobao, Nether, let me introduce someone to you, this friend is Wu Yang, the Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead, just like the two of you, one of the True Gods of the Heavenly Court. The difference is, this friend has not betrayed us, and still loyally follows Emperor Miaoyi."

Zhou Xuanmen turned back to face Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River, reintroducing Lord Wu Yang of City of the Unjustly Dead.

"Wu Yang, Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead!"

Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River's glance simultaneously converged on Wu Yang.

"Fellow Daoists Guobao and Nether, Wu Yang greets you. Knowing that you intended to ambush friend Zhou, I've specially come to join."

Wu Yang, with a smiling face and full of grace, gave a clasped-hands greeting to Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River.

"You two laid a trap wanting to kill Zhou, did you think Zhou wouldn't set one in return?"

Zhou Xuanmen sneered, fixing a hard stare on Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River, "Friend Wu, please step back to assist my formation."

"Friend Zhou, it's better to be cautious."

As he spoke, the Illusion of the Reincarnation Seal drifted around Wu Yang, who slowly retreated behind with clouds of light surrounding him.

"Nether, Guobao, which of you will come first?"

Zhou Xuanmen roared, his sharp True Force burst forth from his mouth, the surrounding clouds scattered, and then he stepped on the light of clouds, striding forward with overpowering momentum, directly confronting Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River.

As the progenitor of curses, relying on his strength, whether it's Divine Monarch Guobao or the Lord of the Nether River, both paled in comparison to him in one-on-one fight.

Now, with Wu Yang on hand to oversee one of Guobao and Nether, Zhou Xuanmen feared no one.

Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River appeared to be startled, first retreating, but then quickly lunged forward, closing the distance with Zhou Xuanmen in the blink of an eye. The three were now less than ten miles apart, extraordinarily close.

Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River still positioned themselves in pincer formation, one to the south and one to the north, one to the left and one to the right, blocking Zhou Xuanmen.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

Both Divine Monarch Guobao and the Lord of the Nether River burst into arrogant laughter, Divine Monarch Guobao's face filled with murderous intent, the Lord of the Nether River's face showing cunning, and bellowed at Zhou Xuanmen with laughter, "Zhou Xuanmen, if not for this, how would you dare to appear?"

"Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead, haha, under the Power of Destiny, even though you're a True God, you can't escape the scheming—turn around and see, see where your Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead is."

Xiao Mu's face turned darker than Zhou Xuanmen's, and at this moment, as the Lord of the Nether River Yu Tong waved his hand, the figure of Wu Yang, Lord of City of the Unjustly Dead, disappeared, leaving only a cluster of grayish-white brilliance in its place, faintly emitting the fluctuations of Destiny.
