Whenever someone asks, Wolfu silently hands over the waist tag. If the person continues to inquire, he simply uses the Enchantment Technique to confuse them.

Normally, he wouldn't act so recklessly.

As he approached the Eastern Six Palaces, Wolfu looked up into the distance.

In front of the main hall of the Prince Mansion, lights were bright, illuminating the snowy mist in the night sky. Although it was obscured by the hall, Wolfu knew that this was King Shu, along with his elite subordinates, setting up a ritual on the magic platform.

He gritted his teeth, not daring to linger, quickly moved to a small courtyard beside the Eastern Six Palaces, and climbed over the wall to enter.

The courtyard, although within the Royal Palace, was very simple, with only a low one-story structure, looking completely unremarkable.

These courtyards are usually where the eunuchs of the palace reside, typically having at least seven or eight people, but at this moment it was very desolate.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wolfu smelled a strong scent of blood, his face changed drastically, and he rushed into the main house.

Inside the room, it was pitch black, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged meditating, his face pale, and his chest stained with blood.

"Divine Lord!"

Wolfu became anxious and rushed forward.

But at that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, dark with a shimmering glow, cold and majestic.

"Forgive me, Divine Lord, for my inefficiency!"

Wolfu was startled, quickly kneeling on one knee.

The middle-aged man was Li Wenyuan, the immortal who privately descended from the Netherworld using the River God's Dragon Soul, reincarnated.

Seeing that Li Wenyuan was fine, Wolfu sighed in relief internally.

He certainly knew Li Wenyuan's identity, otherwise, he would not have abandoned such promising prospects to follow him and serve him.

The descent of an immortal is no easy feat.

If not for the spiritual charm of the River God, he would still be in a daze.

Could it be that the other side also failed?

Wolfu felt somewhat perplexed.

Li Wenyuan, sitting cross-legged, looked at him with a fleeting hint of killing intent but quickly restrained it and said coldly, "Why did you fail?"

"Li Yan was outside Qingyang Palace, wandering…"

Wolfu quickly explained the situation.

"That was the Flower God's tour."

Li Wenyuan, worthy of being one who once ascended to divinity, quickly deduced the reason, saying solemnly, "The Dragon Lady's true form has ties with the Flower God, using her incense to re-coalesce the Divine Soul."

"This technique was likely divulged by the Dragon Lady herself."

Wolfu grit his teeth, "Divine Lord, is there a remedy for this?"

"Wishful thinking."

Li Wenyuan coldly replied, "The River God is lingering at death's door, originally should have been replaced by the Dragon Lady years ago, only to be revived by my Secret Technique. Now, what's done is done, there is no chance."

"This…"

Upon hearing this, Wolfu's expression became more troubled.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, he turned to look out the window.

Outside, there was the sound of dense footsteps, the door squeaking open, a person stepping into the courtyard, dressed in a yellow dragon robe, crowned.

It was "King Shu" Xiao Qipan.

He gazed at the dark room, his aged face expressionless, calmly saying, "Li Dao You, I've told you before that this method is different. I wonder if now, you're still willing to cooperate with me?"

Li Wenyuan, sitting cross-legged on the bed, heard this, his eyes clouded, after a long period, he slowly rose and walked out of the room.

In the wind and snow, the two faced each other coldly.

"King Shu" Xiao Qipan suddenly smiled, raised his hand slightly, "Everyone, step back a hundred paces, anyone who eavesdrops shall be killed without mercy!"

With a clatter!

At his command, the surrounding soldiers immediately moved away.

Wolfu frowned, turning to look at Li Wenyuan.

"You should leave too!"

Li Wenyuan's expression was cold, nodding.

"Yes, Divine Lord."

Wolfu carefully handed over a cloth package before leaving.

After leaving the small courtyard, he also retreated a hundred paces, looking at the surrounding soldiers who were watching like hawks, with a cold snort, his eyes full of gloom.

He knew the identities of the two inside.

One was a famous Fangshi from the Qin Dynasty, hiding in the Human World, reincarnating several times, plotting something great…

The other was Shen Wentai's disciple, famously recorded in the Immortal Chronicles, ascended to divinity yet privately descended…

The two cooperated at first, then turned against each other.

There must be a colossal secret behind this.

It's a pity that despite risking life and limb, he still struggled to gain trust.

Thinking of this, Wolfu felt full of resentment…

In the courtyard, "King Shu" Xiao Qipan suddenly formed a hand seal, his facial muscles and bones twisted, transforming into a thin male figure, completely devoid of his earlier aged appearance.

It was the true form of Lu Sheng, the Fangshi from the end of the Qin Dynasty.

"With Daoist friends, it's best to meet with honesty."

He gave a slight smile, his demeanor becoming more refined.

Li Wenyuan saw this, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "You acquired the Immortality Elixir, it seems everyone has been deceived by you."

Lu Sheng slowly straightened his chest, the bones of his spine creaking, making his posture more upright.

He smiled faintly, "Where in this world is there such a thing as an Immortality Elixir?"

"Back then at Kunlun Mountain, The Queen Mother of the West was divine, Zhou Muwang was human, the Ten Sorcerers served as mediums, all those legends merely symbolize the Ascension Path."

"Since Yu the Great Flood Control, the Heavenly People's path was severed, Hou Yi sought Spiritual Medicine but did not get to consume it himself, leaving it to Chang'e…"

"What I obtained as an Immortality Elixir is nothing more than the lingering charm of the Great Wilderness, capable of turning back the clock, a rebirth."

"People in the Human World are oblivious, but surely Daoist you are aware."

Li Wenyuan retorted coldly, "We agreed initially that if found, you'd give it to me. Had I taken it, I wouldn't be in such dire straits."

Lu Sheng chuckled mutely, "Wasn't it Daoist who broke the agreement first?"

"Hmph!"

Li Wenyuan snorted coldly, "What you intend to do now was not planned before, why bother arguing with me?!"

"Hahaha..."

Lu Sheng burst into laughter, shook his head slightly, and lamented: "Daoist Li has spent so many years in the Human World, surely you have heard, Cheng Jianxin caught a glimpse of the Ascension Path, chose to destroy his own Dao rather than become an immortal."

"If this path were truly good, why would he go to such lengths?"

"Following your method would only lead to repeating past mistakes, why not join me in taking a different path?"

Li Wenyuan heard this, and immediately his face was filled with sarcasm, "Where do you get the courage?"

"When there is no retreat, the courage comes naturally."

Lu Sheng's eyes carried a hint of amusement, "Daoist Li is now a fugitive of the Heavenly Court, surely the Thunder Department will send someone to capture you. Do you think those people will truly stand by you?"

"This reform of the Human Dao is our opportunity."

"Is it not also Daoist's opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyuan's eyes immediately became indecisive.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and took out a wrapping of the Bronze Nuo Mask, speaking deeply, "Your plan is flawed, surely someone will come to oppose. When Dragon Lady replaces River God Grand Duke, the Dragon Palace can be breached."

"This object can deal with Erlang, causing his mind to fog…"

"Moreover, Xiao Jinghong's wife has been cursed by me to infiltrate the Mortal God that Shu Prince Mansion offers tribute to, accelerating the progress…"

"Hahaha."

Lu Sheng smiled, "I knew Daoist would have a backup. Today, once we leave with the treasure, we shall rendezvous with other Daoists."

Li Wenyuan nodded, still showing a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Doing this, it might create much karma..."

"Daoist, you jest."

Lu Sheng remained indifferent, looking at the mist-filled sky, "Heaven and Earth are not kind, all things are mere ants."

"Mortal lives are as ephemeral as morning dew, destined to die, how does it concern us?"

Soon after, the two walked out of the small courtyard once more.

Lu Sheng had reverted to the image of King Shu, leading his troops and Li Wenyuan to the foot of the grand hall.

In front of them, on the square, two towering magic platforms had already been erected.

On one platform, Netherworld Stage shrouded in black mist, Situ Qian had returned to his Ghost Zhongkui appearance, holding a Magic Sword and Magic Umbrella, retracing the Astral Step, singing dark plays...

On the other platform was Zhao Jie, who had fled earlier, dressed in a black Magic Robe, hair disheveled, holding a Compass, staring fixedly at the sky with anticipation…

......

Outside Chengdu Prefecture, Li Yan and others came to the edge of the dense fog.

"Alright, we can leave from here!"

Sha Lifei pointed forward and shouted loudly.

Behind them, thousands followed closely, all the citizens of Chengdu Prefecture who had earlier participated in the roaming deity.

Though their faces were pale, they had ultimately regained clarity, looking around in horror.

Upon hearing Sha Lifei's words, some stepped doubtfully forward, only to find the scene around them changed abruptly, the night wind mildly cold, with no more thick mist or strong wind, even the flying snow had stopped.

Turning around, they saw behind them only a vast white expanse.

More and more people left, they cried tears of joy, kneeling on the ground.

"Immortal~"

Among the crowd, an old man suddenly knelt on the ground, tears on his face begging: "The elderly in my family are still in the city…"

"Please, Immortal, save our families!"

Upon hearing this, many citizens also knelt on the ground.

"Rest assured everyone, proceed quickly."

Li Yan's expression was solemn, nodding slightly.

Honestly, with Chengdu in such a state, he wasn't entirely sure either.

Just then, his ears twitched, and he smiled.

Woof woof woof!

In the distant snowstorm, countless sounds of dogs barking arose.

In the snowy ground, dense plum paw prints appeared…
