Yuan Weiyang understood his meaning when she heard his words. After thinking for a moment, she said to Xiao Bo, "There will be changes in Jiuyi Mountain in the near future. Be prepared to leave at any time!"
Xiao Bo nodded silently.
In the following days, Xu Ying maintained a normal routine. During the day, he went to the Zhen Taixu Dongtian to cultivate, and at night, he returned to the Wutong Palace to rest. In his spare time, he deciphered the Jiuxiao Yangshen Xuantan Gong.
Time passed quickly, and without realizing it, more than ten days had passed. Xu Ying imagined that Zhou Qiyun's injuries had already healed. During these days, the Holy Emperor surprisingly did not send anyone to the underworld to collect Yang Qi, and there were no more sounds of angry smashing in the main hall of the Cangwu Sect. It was very calm.
After Xu Ying finished deciphering the Jiuxiao Yangshen Xuantan Gong, he copied the first half and handed it to Chen Gonggong, saying, "Tell the Emperor that the second half is with me. Let the Emperor exchange it with the Yujing Secret Technique for locating the dragon."
Chen Gonggong hurriedly left.
Xu Ying immediately informed Yuan Weiyang, and not long after, Yuan Weiyang had already packed up and arrived with Xiao Bo.
Shrinking their bodies to the size of noodles, they hid in Xu Ying's collar, while Da Zhong remained in Xu Ying's mind.
Everyone prepared themselves, and Xu Ying suddenly remembered Guo Xiaodie, thinking to himself, "She is from the Guo family. By now, the people from the Guo family should have received the news. I wonder if we will meet as friends or enemies."
Before long, Chen Gonggong hurriedly arrived and smiled, saying, "The Emperor has sent the Yujing Secret Technique for locating the dragon. Mister Xu, where are the second half of the scriptures and the golden book?"
Xu Ying took out the second half of the scriptures and the golden book that recorded the Jiuxiao Yangshen, and handed them to Chen Gonggong. Chen Gonggong handed over a small booklet and smiled, "This is the Yujing Secret Technique for locating the dragon, personally written by the Emperor. Mister Xu, the Emperor wants to meet you and personally reward you."
Xu Ying accepted the Yujing Secret Technique and bowed, saying, "Please lead the way, Gonggong."
Chen Gonggong led the way in front, heading towards the Cangwu Sect's main hall halfway up the mountain. Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang looked over and saw that there were many more Jinwu Guards guarding the dangerous area.
As they continued walking down the mountain, they saw dozens of stall masters being escorted up the mountain by two Jinwu Guards. One of the Jinwu Guards carried a sword box on his back, while the other held a white banner.
When Xu Ying and the others passed by, the Jinwu Guards made the stall masters kneel down in a row. Then, one of the Jinwu Guards slapped the sword box, and sword energy flew out, beheading each stall master one by one!
However, there were still experts among these stall masters. Three of them realized the danger and immediately used their martial arts to resist the sword energy, fleeing for their lives.
The Jinwu Guard shouted, "Think about your family! It's enough for one of you to die. If you escape, your entire family will be killed!"
The two skilled stall masters hesitated for a moment, but were pierced through the forehead by the sword energy and died. The remaining stall master, who was cunning and ruthless, paid no attention to anything else and continued to escape. Suddenly, he leaped into the air, and his blood and qi transformed into a white crane with a wingspan of several zhang, soaring into the sky!
However, there were already Jinwu Guards guarding other checkpoints. Sword energy shot out from the air, killing the stall master and causing his body to fall from the sky.
"A Ying" hid in Xu Ying's collar, trembling as he watched, and said in a trembling voice.

Da Zhong also made a muffled sound.
Xu Ying stabilized his mind and followed Chen Gonggong, while Yuan Weiyang pretended not to see anything and only Xiao Bo clenched his fists, but then relaxed them.
As they continued walking down the mountain, they encountered more Jinwu Guards executing dozens of stall masters along the way. After walking for half a mile, they encountered another group being executed. Some of the stall masters cried out, while others desperately tried to escape.
However, all the checkpoints were guarded, so where could they escape to?
Xu Ying and the others walked for more than ten miles and saw over a thousand stall masters being executed. Some of these stall masters were disciples and elders of the Cangwu Sect, while others were captured from other martial arts sects.
They used to be useful, as they could collect Yang Qi from the underworld for the Emperor's alchemy. But now, they were no longer useful.
Being useless meant that they had no reason to live. For the Emperor's reputation, they had to die.
They continued forward, and ahead, they saw someone fighting. It was the Sect Master of the Cangwu Sect, who was being besieged by three Jinwu Guards. This Sect Master's skills were extraordinary as well. He cultivated some unknown secret technique and had six great Dongtian realms. He was already an extraordinary expert in the martial world!
But under the siege of the three Jinwu Guards, he was also in danger and could die at any moment.
Ahead, the main hall of the Cangwu Sect came into view.
Chen Gonggong suddenly sighed and whispered, "Xu Xiaoge, the books given to you by the Emperor are just blank paper. Can't you see it? Hurry and leave."
Xiao Bo lowered his voice and said, "Thank you."
He suddenly made a move, hitting Chen Gonggong on the shoulder. Chen Gonggong spat out blood and tumbled down the cliff, shouting in mid-air, "Quick, capture the traitor!"
Xiao Bo was taken aback. "I didn't hit him so hard. Why is he spitting out so much blood?"
"Let's go!" Xu Ying shouted, taking a step forward. Sword energy revolved under his feet, and in an instant, it surrounded him. With a swoosh, it turned into a streak of sword light and broke through the air!
Another streak of sword light caught up with him, and it was Yuan Weiyang.
The two dared not fly into the air, so they flew close to the ground. The sword energy surged, and the grass, trees, and broken stones on the ground shattered under the overflowing sword energy!
The Jinwu Guards had already noticed this scene. With a slap of their sword boxes, more than ten sword energies flew towards the two, slashing at the large streaks of sword light.
Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang were unable to actively counterattack in the midst of the sword energy. The ten-plus sword energies collided with the sword energy surrounding them, instantly slowing them down.
Suddenly, the sword energy around Xu Ying dissipated, and he leaped into the air. A cloud ladder appeared under his feet, allowing him to jump again. At the same time, the sword box on his back made a clattering sound as it split apart, revealing seven hidden compartments, each containing a streak of sword energy.
With a wave of Xu Ying's finger, the seven streaks of sword energy flew out one after another from the box, clanging and cutting off the incoming sword energies!
His sword box was a treasure of Yuan Tiangang, and the sword energy inside had been nurtured for thousands of years. It was extremely sharp and far superior to the Jinwu Guards' sword boxes!
At the same time, the protective sword energy around Yuan Weiyang gradually thinned. She leaped into the air, her divine sense soaring, finding a foothold in the air, and used her sword to cut off the sword energy attacking her!
On the other side, Xiao Bo was running wildly in the mountains, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, rushing towards the checkpoints along the way, killing or throwing down the Golden Guards stationed there!
The seven sword auras returned to the sword box, and the sword box closed with a clatter, still together.
Xu Ying's sword aura surrounded his body, transforming into a thick sword light that stuck to the ground and another thick sword light diagonally pierced through, it was Yuan Weiyang, passing by him.
The two of them suddenly disappeared in the mountains, each roaring, and in just an instant, they resolved the strong enemies guarding there and flew away on their swords again.
Shouts of killing came from the mountain, and the Golden Guards and the experts from the Guo family were mobilized, cutting off all the paths.
Finally, Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang rushed towards the cliff of the Cangwu Abyss. There were already experts from the Guo family guarding the cliff, led by Guo Yue and Li Yingzhu, with Guo Xiaodie among them.
The group of people exuded a murderous aura, standing in a strict formation.
The Guo family was a prestigious family, although not as large as the Zhou family, it was more ancient and had a deeper heritage. They had already formed a formation. As long as they were blocked by them, there would be only a dead end!
"Lord Zhong—"
Before Xu Ying's voice fell, a large bronze bell flew out from behind his head, buzzing and rotating. The bell wall emitted a radiant light, and suddenly the outer wall of the bell emitted a layered light, forming an even larger light barrier!
Outside the light barrier, runes circulated, and inside the light barrier, all things competed and grew, exuding a terrifying power!
"Clang—"
The large bell trembled, and the outer light barrier of the bell also trembled. The terrifying power shook the cliff, and the experts from the Guo family had already activated their formations to resist the power of the bell. Their momentum was like an impregnable fortress, with a copper wall and an iron barrier, directly confronting the large bell!
In the next moment, the sound of the bell shattered the city. The experts from the Guo family were all shaken, each spitting out blood. The imposing bell rang for the third time, and the formation of the Guo family's many experts was instantly broken, and they were sent flying in all directions!
"Ah Ying, I can't hold on anymore!" Da Zhong shouted, and the light barrier suddenly retracted. Da Zhong shrank into Xu Ying's head and disappeared.
Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang had taken the opportunity to rush to the edge of the cliff. As long as they leaped off the cliff, they could fall into the lake and dive into the Cangwu Abyss, using the underworld to escape!
At this moment, above the main hall of the Cangwu Sect, a celebratory cloud suddenly floated towards them.
That celebratory cloud was a symbol of imperial power. Even before it arrived, the voices of the people praying had already made them dizzy and their consciousness blurred!
However, before the celebratory cloud reached the cliff, it seemed to encounter an insurmountable obstacle and stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward at all!
Under the celebratory cloud, a young man with white eyebrows stood quietly, looking at the main hall of the Cangwu Sect, his gaze flickering, as if calculating Xu Ying's value and whether it was worth tearing his face with the Holy Emperor.
"Zhou Ancestor, I left a copy of the 'Nine Heavens Sun God Mysterious Altar Technique' for you in the Wutong Palace!"
Xu Ying suddenly shouted loudly, "This technique can solve the shortcomings of the Tuoyu Immortal Book and allow you to cultivate without hindrance!"
Zhou Qiyun's mind shook greatly, showing an incredulous expression, and turned his head to look at Xu Ying.
"Xu Ying, this is your second attempt to escape."
He turned his head, facing the main hall, his voice indifferent, "You can go, don't let me catch you."
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, leaped off the cliff, and fell into the emerald lake. At the same time, the Golden Guards and the experts from the Guo family also leaped off the cliff one after another, using their cloud ladder techniques to chase after Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang in the air.
Xiao Bo leaped down like a fierce tiger, landing on the back of a Golden Guard, punching and exploding the Golden Guard, then grabbed the sword box and slammed it, causing the sword box to explode. Countless sword auras shot out in all directions, forcing the Golden Guards and the experts from the Guo family to defend themselves!
Suddenly, Guo Yue leaped over, with a wave of his hand, the sky changed dramatically, and he collided with Xiao Bo.
Xiao Bo grunted, and five hidden realms appeared behind him, but he was still shaken and spat out blood, falling down.
Guo Yue was about to kill him when Xu Ying leaped over and caught Xiao Bo, shouting loudly, "Lord Zhong!"
The large bell flew out and shouted, "I have no strength left!"
Xu Ying swung the large bell and smashed it on Guo Yue. The bell made a loud noise and shouted, "I told you I really have no strength left, don't you believe me."
Guo Yue blocked the large bell with one hand, feeling that the power of the large bell was not as strong as before. Obviously, it was at the end of its strength. He was overjoyed and without thinking, he reached out with his other hand and grabbed Xu Ying's throat.
At this moment, a small snake crawled out of Xu Ying's collar and bit his throat.
Guo Yue's entire hand instantly lost sensation, and then his arm lost sensation as well. He was filled with fear and kept shouting, "Yingzhu, Yingzhu, come and save me! I've been poisoned by the strange snake!"
The beautiful woman was about to capture Yuan Weiyang, but upon hearing this, her mind was in chaos. She hurriedly came to save him. Seeing that the black energy was about to invade his shoulder, and by then it would enter his heart, lungs, and brain, it would be difficult for even immortals to save him. She had to bite her lip and cut off his entire arm!
"Husband, rest assured, I will avenge you by killing that demonic king Xu!"
Li Yingzhu helped him stop the bleeding, and the two of them saw Xu Ying and Xiao Bo rushing into the emerald lake and entering the Cangwu Abyss, so they followed suit.
In the Cangwu Abyss, the couple saw a group of Golden Guards and experts from the Guo family fighting fiercely along the abyss. Sword lights collided endlessly in the sky above this great abyss, and there were constantly falling bodies, dying tragically.
Xu Ying's eyes turned red, and he also used Yuan Tian Gang's sword box to kill people. The sword box flew in the air, sometimes opening, and sword auras flew out, increasing in power, cutting people like vegetables. Sometimes, clusters of sword auras danced around Xu Ying, withstanding the attacks of the crowd, and he rushed into the crowd, instantly causing limbs and arms to fly!
Li Yingzhu and Guo Yue watched with red eyes and shouted sternly, "Make way!"
The couple used their cloud ladder techniques and quickly caught up. Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang shook off the crowd and turned into two sword lights, fleeing at high speed.
The couple gradually surpassed the others and chased after them. Suddenly, a sword light flew over, blocking their way. In the sword light, a voice came, it was Guo Xiaodie, shouting, "Auntie, Uncle, don't chase them!"
Li Yingzhu saw the sword aura surrounding her and knew that she had obtained the true transmission of Xu Ying's sword technique. She stomped her foot and said, "Xiaodie, did he pass it on to you? What was the price?"
Guo Xiaodie bowed and said, "There is no cost! He saw that I didn't understand and directly transmitted it!"
Li Yingzhu was stunned, turned her head to look at Guo Yue's severed arm, and said dejectedly, "This is the price our Guo family paid for the Imperial Sword Art."
Guo Yue's face turned pale from the pain, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He whispered, "Madam, I know a few experts from the Zhou family who can grow it back."
Li Yingzhu's complexion improved slightly and she said, "Could it be that our Guo family obtained the Imperial Sword Art for nothing?"
Guo Yue nodded gently.
Li Yingzhu was overjoyed and smiled, "Then we really shouldn't have been so ruthless. Xiaodie, you still need to maintain appearances, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor. Leave them a way out."
Guo Xiaodie was delighted and turned to look, but Xu Ying and the others had already disappeared without a trace in the vast underworld.
Xu Ying, Yuan Weiyang, and Xiao Bo encountered several more pursuits and finally managed to shake off their pursuers with the help of the geography of the underworld. However, the underworld was vast and boundless, and they didn't know where they were.
Unconsciously, Xu Ying suddenly looked up and saw a towering statue standing among the mountains in front of them, surpassing the mountains and surrounded by incense. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That was the Yin Court.
Now that they had arrived at the Yin Court, the Heavenly Temple was not far away!
Shortly after, the three of them arrived at the Heavenly Temple. Under the gaze of many eyes, they carefully passed through this ancient temple and surprisingly walked through it safely without any blame or interrogation.
Outside of Gui Zi Ridge, Yuan Weiyang stopped and smiled, "Xu Demon King, let's part ways here. I should also go back and report to my mother."
Xu Ying stopped and felt reluctant. He said, "I will also go and search for my origins. Now that we part, I don't know when we will meet again."
Yuan Weiyang hesitated for a moment and smiled, "I enjoyed the time I spent with you. If you come to the capital, I will introduce you to my sister."
Xiao Bo was dumbfounded and looked at Yuan Weiyang in confusion, wondering, "Isn't the young master an only child? Where did the sister come from?"
