Urban best double repair

Chapter 1739 Everyone has their own agenda

"You've got some skills, but you're really taking me way too lightly, aren't you?"

Shaking his head helplessly, the Evil Emperor raised his hand and wiped away the array pattern on the jade box with an Evil Clan rune. He then casually put the jade box into his small world, and with a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the direction of the Ghost Clan.

Inside the Tai Clan's Pill Array Hall, the disciple who delivered the pill returned to report: "Clan leader, the Cleansing Spirit Pill has been given to Xie Mo, and the array pattern imprint has also been attached."

Taiyan nodded, raised his hand, and a water mirror appeared in the hall, but the mirror was empty: "Hmm? The array pattern has been erased?"

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This Xie Mo seems to be just an outer sect patrolman in the early stage of Dao God, yet he was able to erase the array pattern mark of my Tai Clan. It seems that there are more secrets hidden in the Xie Clan than I imagined. An Yi, you follow him secretly and see where he goes next. Remember not to alert him."

A dark figure emerged from the shadows of the hall, bowed to receive the order, and transformed into a streak of golden light, silently chasing after the figure.

Meanwhile, the Evil Emperor had already arrived at the Ghost Clan's habitat.

The territory of the Ghost Clan is the most sinister of the nine clans. The entire area is shrouded in dense ghostly death energy. The sky is gray all year round, and the earth is cold black rock. Ghostly palaces stand in the death energy, with hideous undead patterns carved on the walls. The air is filled with the stench of decay and death energy, and you can hear the faint howls of the undead!

The disciples of the Ghost Clan were all dressed in black robes, with hideous ghost masks on their faces and soul bells hanging from their waists. As they walked, the soul bells rang softly, attracting the power of the undead around them. There were no disciples guarding the entrance, only two ten-foot-tall stone statues of undead. The statues' eyes flickered with eerie green ghost fire. If any living person approached, it would trigger an attack from the undead.

As soon as the Evil Emperor arrived at the entrance, the two undead stone statues suddenly moved, their stone fists carrying a dense aura of death as they slammed towards him. Wherever the fist passed, a black ripple appeared in the void.

The Evil Emperor neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his hand and struck out with a palm. A faint ink-like spiritual light wrapped around a trace of the Evil Clan's runes, and it landed lightly on the stone fist. The two undead stone statues froze instantly, and the eerie green ghost fire suddenly went out, turning into two pools of rubble!

"Who dares to trespass on my Gui clan's territory?"

A hoarse voice came from the shadows, and several figures in black robes slowly emerged. All of them were at the Dao God Realm. The leader was a man wearing a skull mask, who was none other than Gui Liao, the head of the outer sect of the Gui Clan and in charge of the Gui Clan's outer necromancy formation.

The Evil Emperor revealed the Evil Clan's patrol token and said in a calm tone, "Xie Mo, an outer sect patrolman of the Evil Clan, has come to visit the Ghost Clan Chief on the orders of the clan to exchange information on the border. Recently, an unknown force has been manipulating the undead to cause trouble on the border. Our clan suspects that it is related to other clans, so we have come to discuss with the Ghost Clan to investigate this matter together."

A glint of eerie green light flashed in the eyes beneath the skeletal mask of the demonic beast as it sized up the Evil Emperor. With a light shake of its fingertips, the Soul Bell sent a wisp of necromantic power silently probing toward the Evil Emperor, only to be quietly blocked by the Evil Clan runes surrounding him!

"A member of the Evil Clan? That's a rare guest. My Ghost Clan masters the arts of the dead; how could we possibly manipulate the undead to cause trouble? Fellow Daoist, have you chosen the wrong person?"

"It's just a suspicion, not a conclusion."

The Evil Emperor said calmly, "This matter concerns the safety of the borders of the nine great clans. I am only here on the orders of my clan to deliver this message. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to Chief Ghost. Please inform him that if Chief Ghost does not wish to see me, I will leave immediately."

Gui Liao remained silent for a moment, then gently shook the Soul Bell: "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the territory of the Ghost Clan. The Evil Emperor followed closely behind. Along the way, all they saw were wandering spirits, from the souls of ordinary people to the spirits of gods at the Dao God Realm. All of them were controlled by the Ghost Clan's Soul Bell and obediently guarded their respective places. The Ghost Clan's necromancy was indeed well-deserved!

The main hall of the Ghost Clan is called the "Netherworld Hall." There are no lights in the hall, only eerie green ghost flames burning on the pillars. Sitting at the head of the hall is a man wearing a black robe with gold patterns, wearing a pale ghost mask, revealing only a pair of eerie green eyes. He is none other than Ghost Clan Chief Ghost Ming, a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator who wields the Ghost Clan's strongest "Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Array." It can even summon the spirits of Emperor Realm dead from the Primordial Era, making it incredibly powerful!

On both sides of the hall stood several elders of the Ghost Clan, all wearing ghost masks and surrounded by a dense aura of death. When the Evil Emperor approached, they all cast scrutinizing glances at him.

"The outer guards of the Xie clan?"

Gui Ming's voice was hoarse like a ghost, carrying a trace of cold death, "Xie Wuji is in seclusion, yet the Xie Clan actually sent an outer disciple to my Gui Clan. This is far too impolite."

The Evil Emperor bowed respectfully, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Clan Chief Ghost is too kind. Although I am an outer sect guard, I hold the authority to patrol the border. I have come not to be impolite, but for a very important matter. Recently, a mysterious undead force has appeared on the border. The undead they summon all retain the cultivation of the ancient times and are not controlled by the Soul Bell. They seem to be controlled by a strange power. Our clan suspects that this power is related to the rules, so I have come to inform Clan Chief Ghost. I hope the Ghost Clan will be on guard and not allow the power of the undead to be used by the rules."

He deliberately mentioned the rules to test Gui Ming's reaction.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word "rules," Ghostly Green's eyes narrowed sharply, and the deathly aura surrounding him surged instantly: "What did you say? It's related to rules?"

"It's true."

The Evil Emperor nodded. "When my disciples fought against that force at the border, they sensed a cold, ethereal aura, exactly the same as the aura of the rules during the great war at the end of the Primordial Era. The Ghost Clan controls necromancy; if the rules control the power of the undead, the Ghost Clan will be the first to suffer. I've come here to remind the Ghost Clan Chief to prepare early!"

Gui Ming remained silent for a moment, his eerie green eyes sweeping over the Evil Emperor: "I am aware of this matter, and my Gui Clan has its own way of dealing with it. Ling Hao will convene a meeting of all clans at the Spirit Clan's Heavenly Altar in three days. Go back and tell Xie Wuji that my Gui Clan will definitely be there. You may leave now."

His tone was cold, clearly implying that he wanted to get rid of him.

The Evil Emperor understood that Gui Ming must have also sensed the aura of the rules, but he was unwilling to reveal it to outsiders. He bowed and turned to leave the Netherworld Palace. As soon as he left the Gui Clan's territory, he sensed two auras secretly following him. One was the golden pattern aura of the Tai Clan, and the other was the undead aura of the Gui Clan.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. His figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light, and he sped towards the direction of the Divine Clan. At the same time, he deliberately slowed down so that the two tracking auras behind him could keep up.

The habitat of the God Clan is completely different from the gloomy Gui Clan; the entire area is shrouded in golden divine light!

The disciples of the Divine Clan all wore golden robes with golden patterns, had handsome faces, and were surrounded by divine light. They possessed extremely high talent for cultivation, and even the most ordinary disciples had a cultivation level above the Limitless Dao.

The Shen clan possesses divine marks and their cultivation talent surpasses that of the nine major clans. They have numerous powerful individuals. Although the Shen clan suffered losses in the great war at the end of the Primordial Era, they quickly recovered. Now, among the nine major clans, the Shen clan has the second largest number of Dao God Realm experts, second only to the Ling clan!

At the entrance, two disciples of the Divine Clan, wielding divine spears and surrounded by radiant light, stood with holy gazes. Upon seeing the Evil Emperor approach, they held their spears horizontally, the holy tips flashing with a golden light: "Who goes there? This is the territory of the Divine Clan. Those who are not of our Spirit Clan are not allowed to enter!"

The Evil Emperor once again revealed the Evil Clan Patrol Token, his tone calm: "Xie Mo, an outer sect patrol guard of the Evil Clan, has come to visit the Divine Clan Chief on the orders of the clan to exchange information on the border. Recently, a mysterious force related to the rules has appeared on the border, and I have come to discuss countermeasures with the Divine Clan."

The two disciples of the Divine Clan exchanged a glance. The disciple on the right raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a golden light swept across the jade tablet. After confirming that it was correct, he slowly put away his spear: "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the clan leader."

The Evil Emperor stood still, his divine sense quietly spreading out. The territory of the Divine Clan did not have a strong defensive formation, only a faint layer of divine light, which was easily broken through by his divine sense. The scene inside the main hall of the Divine Clan, the "Hall of Divine Spirits," was clearly presented in his mind!

The clan leader of the Shen clan, Shen Xuan, was a young man dressed in a purple-gold divine robe. He had a handsome face and was surrounded by nine layers of divine light. He was actually at the early stage of the Emperor Realm. Among the nine clans, he had the highest cultivation level!

He was the only Emperor-level powerhouse he encountered after arriving in the ancient era!

Inside the hall, Shenxuan was talking with an old man dressed in tattered divine robes. The old man was surrounded by the aura of an ancient god, a deity who had survived from the end of the ancient era, and possessed the cultivation of a peak Dao God.

"Clan Chief Shenxuan, that brat Linghao thinks he can command the nine clans just because he has seven Spirit Clan Marks. That's far too naive."

The old man sneered, "In the late Primordial Era, my God Clan was the ruler of the universe, but we ended up like this because of the Primordial Human Emperor. Now that the Human Emperor has fallen, the rules have just cleared away the damage caused by the war between humans and gods, and we are currently in a period of weakness. Your God Clan holds the divine mark. If you are willing to join forces with us gods, we can help you completely overthrow the Spirit Clan!"

"Moreover, you are the only Emperor among the nine clan leaders!"

"This seat should have been yours!"

Shen Xuan rubbed the divine mark on his palm with his fingertips, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "What the old god said is very true. However, the Linghao Palm has seven marks. Once one is broken, the next one will become even stronger. I have no way to deal with it. Moreover, once I make the first move, the other clans will definitely join forces. I obviously do not have the chance of winning against their combined forces."

"Don't worry, the Gui and Sha clans have long been dissatisfied with Ling Hao. With just a little provocation, they will turn to us."

The old man said, "The Spirit Clan's meeting at the Heavenly Altar three days from now will be the best opportunity. At that time, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, a disciple's voice rang out from outside the hall: "Reporting to the clan leader, Xie Mo, an outer sect patrolman of the Xie clan, requests an audience with the clan leader. He has come on the clan's orders to exchange information on the border."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shenxuan's eyes, and then he said to the old man, "Old God, please step back for now. I know what I'm doing."

The old man nodded, then transformed into a golden ray of light and disappeared into the shadows of the hall.

"Let him in," Shen Xuan said calmly.

The Evil Emperor slowly walked into the Divine Palace. The rich divine aura emanating from the palace rushed towards him. He bowed and said, "Xie Mo of the Xie Clan greets the Chief of the Divine Clan."
