Although this was the deepest region of the Underworld, there was an enormous sun that was dazzling to the eyes. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a burning stone, scorching dry. The tea house said, ”This place is located in the 18 Hells, with 15,000 rats. The Red Rats are their general guards, but because they are not personally sealed by the Jade Emperor, they are called Elder Red Rats. If you want to visit, you must treat him with the courtesy of seeing a noble king. However, at this moment, we are here to be thieves. Since we are stealing the Holy Water, we don't need to meet with it. ” Qin Ying said anxiously: ”You speak so lightly, how can I get in?” The city was fifty to sixty feet tall and was very steep. The tea house smiled and said, ”Didn't you make a climbing claw? How can I refuse to use it? ” Qin Ying said: ”Earlier, you clearly said that it was a mansion belonging to the Red Rats, when did you ever say that it was a city wall? This mansion wall can be used to climb claws, so how should the city wall be used? ” The tea house said, ”How can I not use it? Let me show you. ” He reached out to take her rope and placed it in his hand, then as if he was deep in thought, he suddenly opened his eyes. With a loud shout, he saw that the rope had suddenly grown several feet. Without waiting for praise, he swung his arm and the rope flew straight up to the top of the wall. Qin Ying said happily: ”This is great, you will teach it to me in the future.” The tea house did not answer her and laughed: ”When have I spoken wrongly? Since this Hong Shu did not receive the title of Heavenly Emperor, how could he dare to own a city? Not to mention the many heavenly soldiers and generals that were sent down at that time, even Ten Yama Minamiya sent out the army of the Nether Realm's Yin Division, and they were able to raze this place to the ground within a moment. Therefore, it truly is a huge city. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Then, they came to a realization and said in unison, ”I never thought that there would be so many things to pay attention to.”
The tea house continued, ”Although you all have the ambition to steal treasures and steal water, unfortunately, none of you are capable of walking on walls. Just watch how I climb up, and you can just follow me.” Yang Qi laughed, ”Qin Ying is a miss of gold, Huang Song is an honest man, or both of them are not good at this technique. But I am very different from them. To move about freely and to climb and jump is nothing. However, this is the first time that I have no confidence in facing such a high wall. ” The tea house said, ”This is it. Don't tell me you want us to follow you until you are weak and fall down, pushing us down together?” He shook the rope to make sure it was secure. Then, with a slight force, his entire body was suspended on the rope. Huang Song couldn't help but feel apprehensive as he said loudly: ”Since you are an Earthly Immortal, you should fly into the city and open the gates for us. Why are you wasting so much time to enter?” The tea house climbed two steps and said, ”Since this is one of the realms, there are all sorts of restrictions on luck. How can one fly here and there? Not to mention me, an Earthly Immortal, even deities of all sizes within the 4th Heavenly Layer must not be allowed to live here freely and unrestrainedly. ” As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bunch of white lights flying towards him. They looked very fierce. The tea house silently cried out that things were not going well. In the end, it was too late to dodge. With a ”aiya” sound, it was knocked down.
As for the tea house, it was struck down by an unknown white light. The three of them hurriedly rushed over to help him up. The fall in the tea house was not light. After half a day, he regained his senses, groped around for something, and picked it up from the ground. Qin Ying asked curiously: ”What is this thing, could it be a mouse tail?” The tea house snorted and said, ”It's the spike on the demon's tail. Every time it shoots out a needle, it can instantly regenerate another one. It can be said to be endless. It's really annoying.” Ignoring the suspicions of the crowd, he shouted, ”Hey kid, if you use such a strange method to frame me again, don't blame me for being ruthless and bringing you into my tower.” However, he heard someone sneer from not too far away, ”That iron tower was originally a treasure that I forged over the years. If you're willing to let me live in it, I'll be overjoyed and be grateful to you.” When Yang Qi heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Qin Ying and Huang Song, and thought to himself, ”How is that three feet tall tower his property?”
The tea house's expression changed, and said: ”That day, you and I made a bet to see who could refine the Soul-Returning Incense earlier on. It could truly be called the number one ability of this party, the Earthly Immortal. He said that if I lost, he would give you his sword and he would never go back on his word. If you are unlucky enough to be defeated by me, then you must give that Heavenly Tower to me. This bet is clearly written, and you also admit your failure and move out of the tower. How can you still bear a grudge and look for opportunities to oppose me even after a long period of time has passed? ” He was dressed in a brocade robe, and a tail that looked like thorns and looked extremely strange appeared from behind him. It was none other than the Yellow Beaver Immortal, and snorted: ”You old Daoist who doesn't know what's good for you, I will protect you like this, but I am afraid that if you are trapped by the Immortal Breaking Rock on the wall above, you will blame me instead.”
The tea house asked in surprise, ”What did you say? There really are Divine Punching Stones on it?” The Yellow Monk Immortal disagreed, saying, ”You live in the Iron Tower everyday and live in peace. Naturally, you cannot know about the changes that have occurred here. A few days ago, the Red Rat Elder obtained many Divine Striking Stones from who knows where and they were all socketed within the city walls. They released auras that intertwined with each other and formed an inescapable net of immortals and ghosts. ” Seeing that he was suspicious, he shook his tail and a thorn shot out like an arrow. Halfway through the wall, he saw a flash of light and the end of the tail was nailed to the brick, no longer able to move. Yang Qi sighed, ”No wonder there isn't a single guard on top of the city walls. With these stones, it would be comparable to a magnificent army of thousands. They are definitely unbreakable.” Qin Ying asked curiously: ”What is the origin of this Immortal Fighting Stone? It is actually this powerful.” Immortal Yellow Beaver said, ”Who can fight against immortals? They are neither Celestial Emperor nor Demon God, but the Heavenly Dao. Most of the Path of Heaven was colorless, tasteless, and odorless, but a small part of it became tangible. The essence of it is the Origin Energy Pearl, which can be used to refine countless Magic Treasures and weapons, and the remainder can be used to refine Immortal Stones. ” Qin Ying clapped his hands: ”So these stones actually have these kind of benefits. We also need to find a way to break off a few pieces from the wall and bring them home for a good collection.” Her eagerness didn't seem like a joke. The Yellow Monk Immortal shook his head. ”I can't do that. This Immortal Slaying Stone is very different from the other treasures. Once embedded, it can no longer be easily removed. Otherwise, it'll just be a useless, ordinary item.”
Yang Qi saw that the stones were the same color as normal ones, and felt depressed. He thought to himself, ”These stones are so powerful that even the Golden Immortals of the Great Firmament Medicinal Herbs can't easily pass through them. What should we do?” The tea house looked at the three of them as their faces turned red: ”Don't be so anxious. Although the divine striking stone is powerful, it is still something that can be broken.” Qin Ying did not believe him and said: ”Then you should come up with a viable method.” The tea house stuttered for half a day, but it could not utter a single word. ”You can't think of a way, but I know of a way.” Stretching out the tip of his foot, he drew a circle on the ground. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he was in no hurry to explain. He took out a small ladle from his bosom and gently scooped into the circle. However, as if he was scooping up water, he actually scooped up half a bucket of dirt. Qin Ying clapped his hands and laughed: ”Immortal like you are truly amazing. With this level of magic treasure, it won't even take the time for a cup of tea to boil before digging a tunnel. Walk further down into the city.
The tea house yelled, ”Do you want to take them to their deaths? That day when the Elder Red Rat was building the city, he exchanged many bitter black teeth from the Western Sea Alligator Pool and buried them at the foot of the city wall. These crocodile teeth were incomparably poisonous. The moment they came into contact with a living creature, they would turn around and tear the invader into pieces. With your Half Immortal Body, you can escape, but with the three of them being mortals, how could you possibly have the ability to escape? ” He shook his head and sighed. ”When have I ever said that I would bring them into the city from the underground? It's merely to see that the Pioneer Dust Ant Battalion is about to leave this place. In order for everyone to survive, I'll have to dig a hole here.” The tea house said in surprise, ”You said the dust ants' army is coming?” Immortal Yellow Beaver waved his arm a few times, and not too long after, a large hole appeared in the ground. He sighed. ”If you don't believe me, just wait outside.” He jumped down. The Yang Qi trio looked at each other, and upon seeing the solemn expression on the Yellow Monk Immortal's face, they did not seem like he was joking as they followed him into the cave. After the tea house was broken, he opened his sleeves and wiped away the dust on his mouth. From the outside, not a single trace could be seen.
Everyone was still in the midst of their bewilderment when they heard the sound of explosions in the distance. Gradually, they got closer, and it seemed as though thousands of men and horses had arrived. Someone shouted as they formed the formation. Countless footsteps stopped as they shouted, their might shaking the heavens. The tea room took out a bronze mirror from his bosom, called the ”mirror of isolation”, and for a moment the cave was as bright as day, making it hard to open one's eyes. The mirror, however, was mystical. If one looked carefully, one would see rippling waves and faint images. When the images became clear, they would clearly reflect the scene outside the cave. Yang Qi and the other two were very curious as they watched the huge squadron of iron armored ants stand in formation outside the city walls. Their long spears and short sabers were all dazzling, causing people's hearts to tremble. Yang Qi sighed, ”Even though we can see it clearly, it's a pity that we can't hear anything.” Immortal Yellow Beaver said, ”How hard is that?” He removed a fan from his waist. The tea house snorted and said, ”Although you have quite a few items with you, it's a pity that you don't have many that can be considered true magic treasures. They are merely minor Dao items.” ”Although it can't compare to a divine artifact like the Nine Heavens, it is still very practical. ”My sons and daughters, you must listen to the voice. This will be the voice you will hear.” He waved the fan to the left and right. The air in the cave instantly turned pale. When the white light slowly faded, he actually heard the noise outside.
A dust ant general with a silver phoenix wings and a silver helmet, who was wearing a shiny silver armor, waved his metal pestle and shouted, ”Scoundrel, quickly bring out my young master with the gift of an axe. If you dare to say half a no, then the time when my army is ready will be the time for you to break out of the city.” A deputy general made of dust ants came out from behind and cupped his fists as he said, ”Iron-headed vanguard, if they don't get to see the power of our army, they will definitely not listen to us.” He took down an iron carved bow and drew out another arrow. He drew the string and shot it out, but he only heard a boom as he inserted the arrow into the middle of the words ”Red Rat Manor” above the door. All the ants cheered and cheered. The iron-headed vanguard looked on coldly from the side and said, ”Lieutenant General Black Cove, you are the King's nephew. Of course, you have the King's heroic prowess as well.” ”However, this place is not a place to show off our talents. Please step back a bit. If the arrows on the city wall were to hit you and injure your body, how can I explain this to the King?” He saw that on the city wall, there were many rat soldiers standing. They were all big swords and round shields, and their expressions were quite nervous. Behind each mouse soldier was another archer standing behind, but he was using a crossbow. This weapon was slower than a bow, but its power was much greater.
The deputy general sneered, ”Since the general is so concerned, your subordinate can only obey.” Not long after returning to the formation, someone reported to the vanguard, saying that Black Cove was extremely angry and had actually caused the main army to retreat and set up camp about thirty miles away. General Iron Head said, ”I have my elite troops here. Taking down the Red Rat Mansion is as easy as flipping my palm. Black Cove thought that it would be difficult for me to break into the city, so they hid behind the walls in order to watch the show. When the central army arrived, they would attack together with the marshal to establish their military exploits. ”Hehe, I'm afraid that this plan of mine is going to fail.”
The group of rats and soldiers gathered around the memorial hall and looked around, then said loudly: ”General Ironhead, you and I are dust ants, yet why did you bring so many soldiers and horses here today to brag and cause trouble for no reason? Aren't you afraid of disturbing us for three years, and of offending the Jade Emperor?” The Iron Head General laughed loudly and turned around to the soldiers, ”He kept saying that he was the Jade Emperor, but I don't know what benefits he would get from that old man, he didn't even receive a title. It's extremely ridiculous. This kind of pedant person, if you do not kill him today, you will be treated as a new land for me, an ant, and everyone will be free and happy from then on. ” A Black Ant field officer pulled out a monster from behind. It looked like an ant in three parts, and a tiger in seven. With a large bridle on its head, he said, ”General, since we are fighting, we might as well ride this Ant Tiger Beast.” Yang Qi could see everything clearly from below. He said, ”These ants are half human, half ant, with quite a few legs, why would they need to ride a horse?” Qin Ying pricked his ears and said: ”This is not a horse, it's just riding a weird wild beast.” Noticing her disapproval, the tea house said: ”This Ant Tiger Beast is different from ordinary war horses. When it becomes angry, even ten soldiers cannot stop it.” Immortal Yellow Beaver laughed. ”What you just said is far from true. Let alone ten soldiers, even eleven soldiers wouldn't be able to do anything to it.” He and the tea house were quarreling with each other on the side. The three of them only focused on the commotion outside.
General Iron Head was quite pleased with himself as he mounted the Ant Tiger Beast and ran a few laps back and forth. All the soldiers behind him shouted, ”The general is invincible in this world! Defeating the Rat City, slaughtering the Limitless. ” Elder Red Rat's face was pale as he climbed up the plate. He waved his hand and said, ”If everyone has something to say, then we can talk about it. Why are you flaunting your martial arts like this?” General Tie Yu's face darkened as he sneered, ”It won't be difficult for us to let you live. We only need to escort our young lord out and offer him some rare jewels before retreating to the camp. We won't even touch a single blade of grass from you.” Qin Ying said in a strange tone: ”This Red Rat Elder is really incredible. If he doesn't let go of his young lord, his family will certainly send troops to rescue him.” Can't he just let that kid go? ” The tea house said, ”Elder Red Mouse is a loyal person, he would never hand over Young Master to his death.” Seeing Yang Qi and Huang Song's eyes widen, he was puzzled, and said: ”In the surrounding six hundred miles, immortals and demons are called Earth Splitting Class, and they were formed from the crevices of the earth. The Yin and Yang mixed together and attacked, becoming Evil Qi instead. Therefore, since he could not live as a deity, he was afraid that he would be clouded by yin energy, and he could not live as a Demonic Ghost either. He was afraid that he would be transformed by yang energy. Later, the Jade Emperor invited Mother Nuwa of the Eighth Heavenly Layer to bring out a piece of the Heaven Mending Rocks. She used the power of a hundred Immortals to burn it into a small sun, hanging it on the top of a fissure in the sky before fusing the Yin and Yang together to create life. Gradually, three cities were built. One was the Red Rat Manor, the other was the Ant Prefecture Manor, and the last one was the Flying Bat Courtyard. The three cities were divided into three parts, each with three out of ten territories. In addition, there was an area of land located in the center of the city where the great Lord, the Bamboo Flute Immortal, resided. Because of his efforts in cultivation, he was finally bestowed the title of Earth Splitting Spike by the Jade Emperor. He was assigned to the three cities here, and the three city lords were still dressed in cloth. After that, the mayor of the Ant Prefecture, Feng Jianxue, was bewitched by some unknown person. He took advantage of Immortal Bamboo Flute's illness to present a fossil pill, claiming that it was made from the leaves of a Peach of Immortality in Yao Chi and could be used to treat various illnesses. Lord Ci Shi did not know that there was a trick, after swallowing, he immediately turned into a stone statue. He was completely oblivious and could not move at all. The Wind and Rain Grand Scholar sealed up the Sting Manor and sent people to capture Young Master Qingyi. He desired to cut the grass and root out the grass, and in the future, he would exterminate the red mice and flying bats.
Qin Yin was skeptical: ”Since that's the case, why do they want the elder of the Red Mouse to gift the cyan clothes in an extremely polite manner? With all his heart, why do you have to be so courteous? ” The Yellow Monk Immortal said, ”The Wind and Rain Grand Scholar's personality is the strangest. If he were to reprimand you, the more vicious he is, the safer he would be. Only his trusted aides would be like this. ”The more joyous he is to you, the greater it becomes. He is extremely solicitous and grand. In other words, he is going to take your life.” Yang Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought to himself, ”What a strange and tyrannical giant ant.”
He heard the Red Rat Elder say, ”Since the lords have been restrained by us, we shall allow all of you to live freely and happily in this Earth Splitting Class. Why must we eliminate Qingyi so quickly?” ”Please tell the Grand Scholar brother that he is to be spared one of his lives, and that I will take good care of him and not teach him how to do whatever he likes.” As soon as he finished speaking, General Tie Yu raised his spear with one hand and slapped the body of the Ant Tiger Beast with the other. He shouted, ”You want to bargain with me, but I don't have the patience to listen. If you are able to live in a little while longer, it will not be too late for you to personally go and discuss it with my master. ” The Ant Tiger Beast's nose spewed out flames as it grimaced in pain. It wanted to pounce on its prey, and was truly ferocious. Ant soldiers shouted in unison. Step by step, they moved forward until they reached the base of the city wall. He staggered and was about to fall, but he was supported by his servants. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a trembling voice, ”How dare you traitors act so arrogantly? If the Heavenly Emperor knows of the truth and sends his heavenly soldiers down, how can you resist? Even my city walls are protected by many layers of Divine Stones, so what can you do to me? ” Qin Ying looked in the mirror and saw that the situation was critical. He could not help but stamp his feet and said: ”You are indeed a pedantic rat. The Seventh Peak Shrine had been taken over by the evil spirits, and it was still on the ground, but the Jade Emperor was still unwilling to save it. If you are in the depths of this underground world, do you still think you can count on Heaven Class reinforcements? ”
General Tie Yu laughed loudly and said: ”Interesting, interesting! You think too much of the heavens' chosen one, but I can't see any heavenly soldiers at all!” I, Ant Soldiers, have an infinite number of enemies. When it comes to war, I am not afraid of death or death. With a loud shout, many of the ants struggled to climb up the wall. Soon, they heard the sound of burning and burning. Countless ants touched the dragnet and fell to the ground. The wounded wail and cry, the wounded and the lightly turned over and got up, and still to go to the meridian. The Yang Qi trio were shocked to the core. They were stupefied, suppressed by that tragic spirit, unable to speak for a while. The tea house and the Yellow Monk Immortal also shook their heads and sighed, forgetting to argue with each other.
