The northwest of the Human Realm.

The immortal soldiers are camped, their banners filling the sky; the great path is in turmoil, and the transcendent gather in the clouds.

The gods gather outside the Great Wall, while the mortals and immortals wait quietly in the mountains and forests.

In the dense forest, mountain streams, river valleys, plains, and villages... figures stand facing north or sit cross-legged, their auras intertwining, forming a second iron wall in the Human Realm.

The great battle is about to begin.

And this time, the confrontation between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace, the focal point of the battlefield is the position where the traitor Lin Nu Hao is currently holding his ground.

Betraying the Human Realm and defecting to the Heavenly Palace, regardless of the circumstances or whether it is the work of the Evil God, the people of the Human Realm are furious with Lin Nu Hao.

But at this moment, in a valley sealed off by a large formation, the most elite group of experts from the Ren Emperor's Pavilion have gathered here, with the deputy pavilion masters and elders sitting in rows among the crowd.

They were supposed to discuss how to plan the battle, but most of them don't look right at the moment.

A while ago, right here, the middle-aged Daoist who had been highly regarded by the elders here since he broke through his own sword path, was extremely disrespectful to them, cursing loudly:

"Why are there so many evil spirits in this vast world!"

"Why are there so many people living in such a hypocritical manner under the clear sky and bright earth!"

"Do you really have the courage to draw your sword against the gods? I see that your courage is all used to suppress the talented!"

Then, the Skyward Sword was pressed down and taken away to be detained.

Liu Bairen sat in the main seat, gently blowing on a cup of tea, showing no sign of joy or anger.

Beside him, an old man said in a calm voice, "Pavilion Master, the Skyward Sword is just a bit too upright. His anger is also due to his close relationship with the Lord of the Unfounded."

Another person said in a gentle voice, "We all know that the Lord of the Unfounded will not be in cahoots with Lin Nu Hao, but the Lord of the Unfounded is too close to Lin Qi. It's best for the Lord of the Unfounded to avoid suspicion in this matter."

"Yes, this time, in the battle against the Heavenly Palace and the eradication of the rebels, we old bones will go and fight.

The Lord of the Unfounded is deeply trusted by His Majesty and the Pavilion Master, and the future belongs to the young people."

"Cough."

Liu Bairen smiled and said, "Where were we just now? Do any of you have a good plan? Since it's not yet time for battle, you can all speak up and discuss it."

Everyone fell into contemplation, and soon someone spoke up.

They talked about marching and setting up formations, discussing military strategy;

They relied on the strength of the experts and the advantages of the terrain and the people.

The atmosphere here gradually became more lively, but there were always some figures whose faces did not look too old, and at this moment, their expressions were somewhat gloomy.

Many of them had participated in the battle in the southeast realm.

Before long, someone couldn't help but speak up:

"Why not invite the Lord of the Unfounded to come."

"Why were we able to win so easily in the surprise attack on the Cloud City in the southeast realm last time, and even killed three prehistoric gods like the God of Thunderstorm?

The sacrifices of the old predecessors are certainly the most important, but it is also related to the detailed plan formulated by the Lord of the Unfounded.

Before this, we rarely pulled the battle outside the Human Realm, and even less often had such detailed plans, even what to do at every moment after starting, was all carefully planned."

"Yes, what we are doing now is what we have always been doing.

But what we can do is no longer what we used to be able to do!"

"The Lord of the Unfounded may have another good idea."

"Alright!"

A middle-aged man spoke loudly, "All the adults have said that the Lord of the Unfounded must avoid suspicion this time. Do you not know how to fight the gods without the Lord of the Unfounded?"

The people who were about to speak up before could only remain silent.

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

The Pavilion Master smiled and said, "It's not a bad idea to have the Lord of the Unfounded come and give his opinion.

The Lord of the Unfounded is someone I absolutely trust, he is His Majesty's lifelong friend, and his understanding of the great path is unique. His control of the overall situation in the battle at the Cloud City was also quite extraordinary.

Young people, their ideas are not rigid, this is the most precious treasure of our Human Realm.

After all, in the future, this world will eventually fall into their hands."

With these words, many of the old people who had wanted to speak up on both sides remained silent.

The Pavilion Master's seemingly soft and weak words had actually settled the matter.

Liu Bairen said, "Since no one has any objections, send a few transcendent experts who are skilled in the path of the universe to bring the Lord of the Unfounded over."

A deputy pavilion master named Wang, who was sitting beside him, pondered for a moment and immediately said with a smile, "Pavilion Master, I have already sent someone to invite the Lord of the Unfounded."

"Oh?"

Liu Bairen frowned, his gaze suddenly sharp, and said calmly, "Old Wang, there are things that should be done and things that should not be done. You have been in this position for quite a long time, you should understand.

Sometimes, don't think too much, just think about the Human Realm in your heart."

The deputy pavilion master Wang hurriedly said, "I understand what the Pavilion Master has pointed out."

"Well, be polite to the person you sent," Liu Bairen said, "If the Lord of the Unfounded doesn't want to come, don't force it."

"I will send a message..."

"No need."

A somewhat cold female voice suddenly sounded in the large formation.

The sky seemed to darken, the light wall of the formation was activated, and the valley was covered by a semicircular light wall.

And above the light wall, a figure stood quietly.She was dressed in a simple long dress, which wrapped her graceful figure in the robe; her long hair was simply tied up, and the wooden hairpin inserted at an angle exuded a casual charm.

Her slender phoenix eyes swept below, and the coldness at the corner of her mouth seemed to be mocking.

Evil God, Hissing Snake.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of experts below were almost simultaneously inspired by the great path, and dozens of people subconsciously wanted to soar into the sky.

But then, a high-ranking official from the Punishment Hall said, "Everyone, don't make a move. This is the new mount that Master Wuwang has just acquired!"

The breath of the people below stagnated at the same time, and they naturally remembered that the Hissing Snake had already been subdued by Master Wuwang.

Someone asked, "Lord, should we close the big formation and let her in?"

"In that case, close the big formation."

Liu Bairen spoke, and before his words fell, the Hissing Snake's figure flashed, and she had already appeared under the formation wall.

The rich aura of the great path emanated from her body, and even the immortals with slightly lower cultivation felt a bit uncomfortable at this moment.

She lightly tapped her slender fingers, and the two doors on both sides of the great path slowly opened, and figures fell out of them, smashing into the open space in the valley like dumplings.

Before long, a small mountain appeared under the Hissing Snake's feet.

The Hissing Snake, wearing high-heeled wooden clogs, although her enchanting figure was covered by a thick skirt, at this moment, as she walked down from mid-air, she could make some pure-hearted 'young men' fantasize even more.

Several old men who had been tied up like zongzi fell out of the cracks in the great path, and rolled down from the small mountain, looking extremely embarrassed as they fell to the ground, but they happened to roll in front of Liu Bairen and several deputy pavilion masters.

The deputy pavilion master surnamed Wang's face changed drastically.

The Hissing Snake swayed her slender waist, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became even colder.

"The Human Realm is quite amusing."

"What does the Evil God mean?"

An old man frowned and said, "It seems that you don't need to interfere in the affairs of our Human Realm."

"Liu Lord," the Hissing Snake smiled charmingly, "my master asked if he could come here and participate in the discussion at the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion."

Liu Bairen nodded and said seriously, "Master Wuwang is the Lord of the Punishment Hall, and the Punishment Hall is under the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, so he can come at any time."

"Thank you, Lord Liu."

The Hissing Snake blinked slightly, and Liu Bairen frowned.

Then, she turned and took a few steps.

Perhaps because her arches were too high, or perhaps because she was not good at walking with a snake tail, when she walked, she seemed to be floating in mid-air, and her swaying figure was mesmerizing.

With a flick of her jade finger, a door appeared out of thin air.

She lowered her head and stepped back, and her arrogant expression had completely disappeared, with her hands behind her back.

The Evil God had no choice.

Looking back at the door, Wu Wang stepped forward with a smile on his lips, and a green bird perched on his shoulder.

Following behind were figures, most of them with young faces.

Ji Mo in a blue robe, and Le Yao in a green skirt, the two of them walked hand in hand, not showing any weakness in front of the many senior elders;

Ling Xiaolan in a white dress like snow, holding a jade flute and covering her face with a light veil, the immortal light isolated her from the mundane world, and her bright eyes were like rippling autumn water.

Xing Tian, the burly man in a cloak, was now full of anger and looked somewhat intimidating.

As Yang Wudi and Mao Aowu, two unimportant onlookers, walked out, the enchanting elder in a black veil almost stole the limelight from Ling Xiaolan.

Who wouldn't love the charming and affectionate witch?

The Great Elder and the teacher of Xing Tian deliberately appeared last, and when Lin Suqing led Immortal Mu to walk behind Wu Wang, the two Transcendents finally took their place at the back.

The doors of the great path closed, and the Hissing Snake was already standing behind Wu Wang.

Ji Mo looked around and saw that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive in various places, and said with a smile, "Brother Wuwang, there are indeed many senior experts here."

"After all, this is the front line," Wu Wang smiled, "good afternoon, everyone."

The many figures around all showed a smile.

Regardless of whether this smile was genuine or fake, everyone was getting along well, bowing and greeting Wu Wang, exchanging pleasantries.

But Wu Wang kept his hands behind his back, not greeting with a smiling face as he used to.

The sound of pleasantries around gradually quieted down.

At this moment, Wu Wang turned to Liu Bairen and said with a hand gesture, "Lord, am I a bit late in coming here?"

Liu Bairen smiled and said nothing, picking up his teacup and just drinking his tea with his head down.

Wu Wang had a good idea in his heart, and turned to the several deputy pavilion masters and the old men with not-so-good expressions on their faces.

"I heard that some people here think that I am colluding with the Lin family to rebel and want to punish me for treason?"

The entire valley fell silent.

Wu Wang took a few steps forward, suddenly laughed, and said again:

"I also heard that some people think that I have a close relationship with Lin Qi, and now I must avoid suspicion and resign as the pavilion master."

Several old men wanted to speak but wisely chose to remain silent.

Wu Wang murmured, "I didn't expect that I would have a group of parasites from the Human Realm in the Four Seas Pavilion, and now, in the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, I have to face a group of hypocrites.

The two words 'private desire' are truly the driving force of living beings, but also the flaw of living beings."

"Master Wuwang, your words are a bit too harsh."

An old woman standing at the back said coldly, "The four words 'hypocrites' and 'parasites' are too much for me to bear."

This hit the nail on the head.

Wu Wang glanced over and smiled, "Are you anxious to speak up, senior? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Old woman!"

"I am the Lord of the Punishment Hall, and in front of me, you should address yourself as a subordinate, not an old woman."

"You!"The old woman tightened the wooden staff in her hand and said firmly, "Wu Wang, if you are angry today, you can let it out. There's no need to be so aggressive. We are all here to protect the Human Realm!"

"I'm not angry."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "I was just in the middle of closed-door cultivation, trying to figure out how to kill the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, when I was suddenly disturbed by these people. They said they were going to take me away.

I had already touched upon that realm, but my understanding was abruptly cut off.

Elders, please don't use the name of righteousness to suppress me. Anyone can say a few words with a mouth. Right, Deputy Deity Wang?"

The Deputy Deity mentioned suddenly stood up;

He had an ordinary appearance, but his aura was quite strong, although not as strong as Liu Bairen.

Deputy Deity Wang smiled and said, "Wu Wang, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I only sent someone to invite you over, but did they offend you with their words?

If so, I apologize on behalf of them to you, Wu Wang.

We are all serving the Human Realm, so why don't we put this matter aside and think about how to deal with the current situation."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Deputy Deity Wang, are you indirectly saying that I'm making a big deal out of nothing?

If I am taken away by them, the situation will be unpredictable. By then, when I meet Deputy Deity Wang again, we might be separated by the walls of a dungeon."

"Deputy Deity Wang."

Deputy Deity Wang frowned slightly and looked at Liu Bairen's expression, feeling a bit uncertain.

But at this moment, Wu Wang's intentions were very obvious. He was clearly looking for trouble, and he would not allow himself to be captured.

Deputy Deity Wang said, "Our concerns are actually not unreasonable. We are all aware of the relationship between Wu Wang and Lin Qi.

We trust Wu Wang, but we can't ignore the rumors in the Human Realm.

The Lin family is rebelling, and we want Wu Wang to lay low for a while, for his own consideration."

The old elder sneered.

Lin Suqing muttered softly, "This person is really good at talking. When he hits you, he originally wanted to knock your teeth out. But when someone stops him, he turns around and says it's for your own good.

Young Master, they are so old, we can't argue with them."

Deputy Deity Wang's face darkened, and a middle-aged man behind him immediately reprimanded in a low voice, "Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here as an unknown person?"

Lin Suqing turned pale, and Dongfang Mumu immediately stood in front of her, hands on her hips.

"Looking for trouble? You can't even reach Transcendent, and you're still acting arrogant in front of us!"

The man became furious, "You brat!"

Someone nearby reminded in a voice transmission, "This is the disciple of the Wind Pavilion Master of the Four Seas Pavilion, and the granddaughter of the former Pavilion Master. After failing to transcend the tribulation, her temperament changed drastically, and her strength is comparable to a newly promoted Transcendent."

The anger on the man's face instantly turned into a smile, "You're really charming!"

But Wu Wang didn't even look at the man, he just stared at the Deputy Deity in front of him and said, "Suqing is straightforward and outspoken. Deputy Deity, please bear with her. But what she said is not wrong. Deputy Deity, you are both standing and acting, indeed very shrewd."

Le Yao asked Ji Mo on the side, "Husband, what does 'standing and acting' mean?"

"This," Ji Mo pondered for a moment, "It probably means wanting both this and that, appearing very noble on the surface, but secretly wanting everything."

"Wow," Le Yao exclaimed, "You really are knowledgeable, my husband."

"You guys, that's enough!"

Deputy Deity Wang shouted, "A few juniors here are speaking arrogantly. What about the rules of the Human Realm? What about etiquette? Is this how the Ji family behaves?"

Wu Wang said, "What, rebelling against the Lin family isn't enough, now you want to frame the Ji family as well?"

Deputy Deity Wang immediately said, "There's no such misinterpretation, but Wu Wang, we are both subjects of His Majesty. I am one rank higher than you. Are you being too aggressive today, showing too much sharpness?"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Are we starting to talk about official positions now?"

Deputy Deity Wang waved his sleeves and said coldly, "What exactly do you intend to do, Wu Wang? The enemy is at the gate. Please don't continue to shake the military's morale!"

Wu Wang's smile faded, and he said coldly, "I want you to bow, apologize, and show respect here."

Deputy Deity Wang was furious at the words.

An old man frowned and said, "Liu, Wu Wang is too disrespectful today!"

Liu Bairen just lowered his head and looked at the porcelain cup in his hand, as if he had lost his senses.

An old woman stood up and scolded, "Wu Wang, who do you think you are to make a respected Deputy Deity bow and apologize to you?"

"Bow and apologize?"

Xing Tian muttered from the side, "If someone does something wrong, they should apologize. Why should they bow and apologize? This Deputy Deity sent people to the sect to arrest someone for no reason. Shouldn't he apologize?"

Ji Mo said coldly, "This should be considered an abuse of power."

Le Yao said seriously, "Husband, you should say a few less words. This Deputy Deity has the support of several major sects and families behind him. We can't afford to offend them."

Ling Xiaolan's immortal light shimmered around her, and she stepped forward half a step, saying coldly, "Senior, you are really imposing your authority."

"The Ji family, the Mysterious Female Sect, and the young master of the North Wilderness, hehehe."

Deputy Deity Wang laughed twice and said calmly, "Indeed, they are all forces that I can't afford to offend."

"Deputy Deity Wang's meaning is that I can suppress you today because of the power of my friends?"Wu Wang advanced slowly, with the Hissing Snake following closely behind.

"Then I shall elaborate a bit more, lest you harbor any resentment.

Today, I made Vice Hall Master Wang bow his head, not because of my own power, but because you have done wrong, because you have lost your conscience; because I have faced the Heavenly Palace, shattered the Evil God thrice, outwitted mighty gods, and raised the prestige of the Human Realm!

Is that enough?"

Vice Hall Master Wang involuntarily took a half step back, his complexion somewhat unsightly.

Wu Wang's gaze was slightly icy, devoid of any anger, his voice calm from beginning to end.

"Not enough?"

Wu Wang tossed out a jade token, upon which a large character for 'Xing' was inscribed, floating in front of Vice Hall Master Wang.

Vice Hall Master Wang murmured softly, "Hall Master Wu Wang..."

"Still not enough?"

The corners of Wu Wang's mouth twitched slightly as he patted his chest, and a pale white flame suddenly flew out from his chest, condensing into a fist-sized white jade seal in the firelight.

The Yan Emperor's Command.

The Yan Emperor's Command that was about to complete its final transformation!

The essence of the Great Dao of Fire rippled from the seal, causing the figures who were originally seated to stand up abruptly, with more eyes turning towards this place.

Even Liu Bairen was taken aback, setting down his teacup to stand up and gaze intently at the seal in front of Wu Wang.

Vice Hall Master Wang's face turned pale, retreating several steps and collapsing into his original seat.

Wu Wang's voice remained unfluctuating, indifferently saying:

"With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, some are scheming for petty gains here, only thinking about whether their own positions are secure. How are these people any different from the likes of Lin Nuhao?

Am I colluding with the Lin family to rebel? Do I need to avoid suspicion for this matter?

Vice Hall Master Wang, stand up, bow, and apologize."

Vice Hall Master Wang trembled all over, and at this moment, he was being simultaneously scolded and urged by several Voice Transmissions, forcing him to stand up, yet for a moment he forgot how to perform the proper courtesy.

Wu Wang's mind was continuously pondering, but at this moment, he had to maintain the right to speak within his own camp, only then could he naturally intervene in the development of the situation later on.

Whether his Yan Emperor's Command was exposed or not was no longer of great consequence.

— Because of the Heavenly Maiden Ling Xiaolan, and the previous rumors about the little golden dragon, Wu Wang had already been identified as a highly suspected successor to the Human Emperor.

Today, by taking out this command, Wu Wang was essentially acknowledging this identity.

As for whether he would succeed the throne later, that was a different matter.

The few people behind him were either smiling or had a sudden realization, showing little surprise, except for Xing Tian, who was a bit puzzled, looking down at his own chest.

His Yan Emperor's Command, why was it just a wooden token?
