Chapter 410 Counterattack on the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm
Finally, the matter was settled. During this period, Zhang Sanfeng lived in Emei. At the same time, Wudang Mountain sent some core disciples to the court to serve as officials. Zhang Sanfeng was also granted the title of Duke Protector of the State, which was definitely a high-ranking and powerful position.
Gu Yuchuan was just waiting for Ding Minjun to return so he could prepare to launch a counterattack against the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. He believed that Zhang Sanfeng would definitely bring him a pleasant surprise, as he trusted this peerless genius who could comprehend Tai Chi in the martial arts world.
Sunrise and sunset, clouds rolling and unrolling, a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Gu Yuchuan and Zhou Zhiruo have been working hard to cultivate. They are currently in a period of rapid improvement in their cultivation, and they cannot afford to waste any time.
At this moment, Ding Minjun also returned. She was covered in ghostly energy and was seriously injured. She had used two of the dragon scales that Gu Yuchuan had given her, which showed how dangerous this mission had been. However, she was very happy because she had done it.
She had investigated the geographical location and power distribution of the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm quite thoroughly, and even some information about the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor. Although it might only be some superficial information, it was enough to keep them from being completely clueless.
This Crimson Flame Ghost Realm is also a high-level minor world, but it was promoted three hundred years earlier than the Heavenly Sword Realm. Therefore, its strength is definitely much higher than that of the Heavenly Sword Realm.
The Crimson Flame Ghost Realm has two Nascent Soul stage experts, the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor and the Crimson Sky Ghost Emperor, who are brothers. Of course, the Crimson Sky Ghost Emperor has already died at the hands of Gu Yuchuan, and now only the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor at the fourth level of Nascent Soul remains.
His status in the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm was unparalleled; no one could defy him, and any ghost with a rebellious heart was killed by him.
Here comes the most crucial point: the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm belongs to the Underworld! It's the Earth within the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Every Great Thousand World must have the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man; having two of them signifies the possibility of advancing to a Middle Thousand World.
In other words, after the Blessed Land and the Heavenly Realm were integrated into the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm, the Lesser Thousand Worlds could basically be built up gradually.
When Gu Yuchuan received this news, his eyes turned red with pure greed. Even though he had seen too many good things, he still had a greedy heart for this small world that could be transformed into the underworld.
The value of this thing was so great that even the Demon Lord would turn against him. However, fortunately, both the Blessed Land and the Heavenly Realm were weaker than the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. The energy of the Ghost Realm, if divided equally, would be enough for both of them, so there wouldn't be any major problems.
Gu Yuchuan and Zhou Zhiruo exchanged a glance, both seeing joy and greed in each other's eyes.
"Ding Minjun, for your meritorious service, today we hereby bestow upon you the title of Earl of Crimson Flame in commemoration of your contributions in the attack on the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm."
Ding Minjun immediately knelt down and kowtowed. He was extremely obsequious. Having a title would greatly help his cultivation, and such a great gain was worthy of a title.
After she left, there was a moment of silence. The matter was of great importance, and the couple had different thoughts on it.
Finally, Gu Yuchuan spoke up: "Let's stick to the original plan. Things that have already been ordered shouldn't be changed arbitrarily. We are husband and wife. Whoever gains a little advantage and whoever loses a little, we shouldn't be too concerned. Anyway, our fates are intertwined. Whoever goes first should help the one behind them for their future cultivation."
Zhou Zhiruo also realized what was happening: "Then I thank you very much, my husband."
The two didn't say anything more, and Gu Yuchuan prepared to set off. Actually, there was nothing to prepare. It was the underworld, and bringing some human cultivators there wouldn't be of much use; they might even become the enemy's blood bags.
So three people went: Gu Yuchuan, Zhang Sanfeng, and Abbess Miejue. Abbess Miejue originally didn't want to bring anyone, but the Later Song Dynasty couldn't possibly send no one. They wanted to use this military achievement to see if they could help Abbess Miejue advance further.
Out of respect for Zhou Zhiruo, Gu Yuchuan would also take good care of Abbess Miejue.
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo's belly was already quite large, and she had been pregnant for more than a year. Unlike the demon race, even if a human has strong aptitude, they usually carry a child for ten months. This long pregnancy was enough to prove that their child must have excellent aptitude.
Gu Yuchuan was still a little worried about Zhou Zhiruo, and repeatedly told her to rest well and not to overwork herself before finally setting off.
Three days later, the three arrived at the entrance of the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. All three of them used methods to conceal their auras, and Gu Yuchuan even helped them become invisible.
After Ding Minjun went there, the other party must have become more cautious. There must have been some guards there, as they didn't want to alert the enemy.
In fact, what they had to do after they went in was quite simple: destroy the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor's forces, kill the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor, and kill all cultivators above the Golden Core stage.
Next, cultivators from the Heavenly Realm and the Blessed Land can come together to kill all the ghosts and then divide the essence of the Heavenly Dao equally. According to Gu Yuchuan's idea, this is a matter of pushing through the enemy without resistance.
Even if the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor were fighting on his home turf, he would absolutely be no match for him. His strength was such that even if Zhou Zhiruo were to activate her World Lord state, the outcome would be uncertain. Moreover, the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor was at most a World Child, far from being a World Lord.
After they stepped into the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm, the scene before them underwent a dramatic change.
The place was completely dark, with a crimson moon hanging in the sky. Its faint red light made the world even more eerie. Ghostly energy permeated the air, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air—an aura that the living found utterly repulsive.
All three of them were living beings from the mortal realm, and they all frowned.
Around this cross-realm, a Golden Core stage Ghost King was defending against a number of ghosts. Fortunately, they used all sorts of concealment techniques, which is why they were not discovered.
Abbess Miejue gripped her Heaven-Slaying Sword tightly, but Gu Yuchuan stopped her with a single glance.
What they need to do now is a decapitation plan. It wouldn't be good to alert the enemy. If the Crimson Flame Ghost King thinks he can't win and finds a place to hide, that would be a huge problem.
This is their home turf. If they can't beat you, they'll hide, and finding them will be extremely difficult.
Abbess Miejue sheathed her Heaven-Slaying Sword and stopped looking at the other party. She knew that she had to listen to the Dragon God. Although the other party was her disciple's husband, he was powerful and held a high position. Even for the sake of her disciple, she could not offend him.
Seeing the obedient Abbess Miejue, Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied. The three of them slowly moved forward. Their destination was the Crimson Flame Demon Palace, which was the territory of the Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor. It was said that the emperor was recuperating there.
