At the same time.
In all prefectures and county yamen of the underworld.
From the ninth-rank Yin Officer.
Down to the first-rank Yin Officer.
All received a message.
A message issued from Fengdu City.
Upon reading it, everyone's scalp tingled, and a shiver ran down their spines.
The content of the message was simple.
The Imperial Tutor colluded with the Anti-Heaven Cult, murdered the son of a sworn brother king, and secretly harbored the Imperial Sword.
The content was not much.
But the amount of information was immense.
To the extent that it was difficult for people to accept in a short time.
After all, the Imperial Tutor had countless disciples.
He was deeply revered by the world.
Otherwise, he would not have held such a high position.
But who would have thought.
He would collude with people from the Anti-Heaven Cult?
If this message had not come from Fengdu City.
They would never have believed it, even if beaten to death.
After the shock.
They followed the order and publicized the crimes committed by the Imperial Tutor.
For a time.
Official documents detailing the Imperial Tutor's crimes were posted overnight on notice boards in various prefectures, county yamen, and towns in the underworld.
Guangling Prefecture.
Before a green lamp.
Yuan Zun sat quietly by the window.
Feeling the cold wind blow.
He then snapped back to reality from his shock.
He put away the Yin Officer's token.
A trace of admiration appeared on his face: "How many days has that guy been in Fengdu City!"
"I never imagined, in these short few days."
"He overthrew the Imperial Tutor."
Although the Imperial Tutor was destined to fall.
Although the intelligence he received had nothing to do with Chen Nan.
However.
Chen Nan's presence was everywhere in this case.
Because Yuan Zun knew well.
It was not the Imperial Tutor who had dealings with the Anti-Heaven Cult.
But Chen Nan.
Thinking of Chen Nan's methods.
He could only admit defeat.
------
Dazhao Temple.
Chen Nan's face was filled with disbelief.
He never expected Xuanwu to have arrived.
Ever since he awakened with the Water Law last time.
Xuanwu had disappeared.
But he never expected.
At this critical moment.
Xuanwu would appear at Dazhao Temple.
Xuanwu said in a faint voice, "You are, in a way, half my disciple. Now that my disciple is in trouble, how can a master stand by and do nothing?"
Immovable King's voice revealed intense anger: "Do you think you can protect this person?"
"Xuanwu."
"You should not have come here!"
As a Buddha from the Western Pure Land.
Immovable King naturally recognized Xuanwu.
If Xuanwu were not injured, with his strength, he did not believe he could defeat the opponent.
But now that Xuanwu was severely injured.
Even his avatar could suppress it.
Xuanwu replied, "I don't know if I can protect him, but I know I cannot let Buddhism suppress the seed of the three realms!"
Its voice was calm.
But exceptionally firm.
Because it knew the heavy burden Chen Nan carried.
It could not let Chen Nan be killed.
"You court death!"
Immovable King was furious. He formed hand seals.
A golden Buddha seal appeared in the depths of the nine heavens.
Exuding a destructive aura.
It fiercely descended towards the ground.
"I will block his attack for you, and you use this ancient divine artifact to its fullest!" Xuanwu spoke, and then emerald green radiance enveloped Chen Nan.
Xuanwu's skills were very simple.
No.
To be precise, its divine abilities were very passive.
It just lay there quietly.
Like a rock witnessing eternity.
Unafraid of wind and rain.
Even Immovable King's attack fell upon it.
It did not cause any substantial damage to it.
Chen Nan held his breath and concentrated.
Pouring his power into his right hand.
Wanting to draw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
But for some unknown reason.
The bow remained motionless.
Even though his right hand was bleeding from the bowstring.
It remained so.
"It's just a weapon from an old era."
"Do you think you can draw it?"
Immovable King's face showed disdain.
He also overestimated the power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Thinking it could threaten him.
Now it seemed things were not as he imagined.
That weapon belonged to the old world.
No one could draw it.
The next moment.
Immovable King launched another attack.
Although Xuanwu blocked his attack.
He could clearly feel that the tortoise shell Xuanwu was releasing was not as large as before!
If this continued.
Within five moves.
Xuanwu's defense would surely be broken.
"Open!"
"Open!"
"Open for me!"
Chen Nan let out an angry roar.
He exerted his greatest strength.
Using all his law power.
However.
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow seemed to be in slumber.
Giving him no response at all.
"Perhaps, it has truly fallen!"
"No longer possessing its former divine might."
Di Ting let out a soft sigh.
That era was too distant from the present.
Countless years had passed.
It witnessed the rise of saints.
It witnessed the establishment of the Heavenly Court.
It witnessed the change of eras.
And it witnessed the destruction of the Heavenly Court.
The fall of the gods.
Chen Nan looked at Guo Yu, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes vacant and his face contorted in pain, with a serious expression.
He said in a low voice, "No!"
"I can feel its extraordinary nature."
"It has fallen into a slumber."
"Waiting for someone who can awaken it."
"That person... is not me."
Chen Nan was the hope of the three realms.
He was the seed chosen by many saints.
On many occasions.
Many people, or things, would give him face.
For example, Di Ting.
Upon learning his identity, he followed him all the way and provided various assistance.
But the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was an ancient divine artifact.
When it existed, there were no saints in heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly.
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow did not care who Chen Nan was.
Even if he was the hope of the three realms.
It would not give him face.
It was waiting for its master.
In heaven and earth.
Only Guo Yu could draw it.
However.
Guo Yu was trapped in inner turmoil.
Chen Nan did not know if Guo Yu would accept the identity of Hou Yi.
Nor could he influence his opinion.
After all, everyone had their own path.
And this was Guo Yu's path.
It was his tribulation.
Only he could overcome this tribulation.
Boom!
Immovable King launched a fierce attack.
Two powerful Buddha seals landed consecutively on Xuanwu.
Xuanwu still lay there quietly.
But the tortoise shell it released had shrunk by two-thirds.
Its aura also rapidly weakened at this moment.
However.
Its eyes remained as firm as ever.
"Again!"
Immovable King formed hand seals again.
Golden palm prints descended from the depths of the nine heavens.
Carrying world-ending might.
They heavily struck the tortoise shell released by Xuanwu.
With the fall of the third Buddha's hand.
The tortoise shell instantly turned into nothingness.
Cracks appeared on Xuanwu's tortoise shell, and fresh blood seeped out.
Immovable King mocked, "To know it's impossible yet still try, is foolishness."
"You are the same as those people in the Heavenly Court."
"If not for the righteousness they held in their hearts."
"Why would they have fallen one after another?"
Xuanwu calmly asked, "If people had no righteousness in their hearts, how could they endure in heaven and earth?"
"And."
"Although they have fallen."
"They are not dead!"
"One day, they will appear in this world."
"Following Chen Nan's footsteps to rebuild the Heavenly Court!"
"One day, Chen Nan will lead all the gods to the Western Pure Land."
"To judge the sins committed by Tathagata!"
Immovable King's eyes flashed with intense anger, "Do you think he can survive today?" As he spoke, he let out a loud Buddha chant.
An ancient Buddha seal flew out from his mouth.
Exuding an aura that suppressed eternity.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
This move made Chen Nan and Di Ting feel despair.
And at this very moment.
A familiar voice sounded behind Chen Nan: "Brother, let the professionals handle the professional matters!"
Chen Nan turned around abruptly.
Who else could it be but Guo Yu?
