The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 114 Blood Coffin Elder

The capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, the Golden Palace.

The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Emperor Chu Kuangren of the Great Chu sat on the dragon throne, his face equally gloomy.

The ministers below all bowed their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

"Eighteen cities!"

Chu Kuangren slammed his hand on the dragon table.

"In just half a month, eighteen cities have fallen!"

"That good-for-nothing Xiang Kuang not only died himself, but also ruined my elite troops!"

"They're practically at our doorstep now, why don't you say something! Aren't you all usually so talkative?"

The ministers looked at each other, none daring to speak first.

At this moment, an old man dressed in a gray robe slowly walked out.

The old man had a withered face, sunken eyes, and exuded a sinister aura.

This person was none other than the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu State, and also the spokesperson for the Yin Sha Sect in the Great Chu State.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

The Imperial Advisor's voice was hoarse, which was very unpleasant to listen to.

"Lu Tianxing's sudden breakthrough into the Returning Origin Realm was indeed a huge variable, and it is understandable that General Xiang Kuang was no match for him."

"However, Your Majesty need not be too alarmed."

"Since our Yin Sha Sect has agreed to help, we will naturally not sit idly by."

Chu Kuangren's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

"Grand Preceptor, could it be... that your sect has more experts coming?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor let out a sinister laugh.

"That's natural."

"In order to deal with Lu Tianxing, the sect leader specially sent an outer sect elder."

Outer sect elders are experts at the Returning Origin Realm!

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gust of cold wind swept up at the entrance of the main hall.

Then, a dark figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

He was a middle-aged man who looked to be only in his forties, wearing a black Taoist robe, carrying a black coffin on his back, and surrounded by a dense aura of malevolence.

The moment he appeared, the temperature inside the entire hall seemed to drop several degrees.

"Greetings, Elder Blood Coffin!"

Upon seeing this person, the Imperial Preceptor immediately bowed respectfully.

The man known as the Blood Coffin Elder ignored the Imperial Advisor and merely glanced indifferently at Chu Kuangren, who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"You are the Emperor of Great Chu?"

Chu Kuangren felt a terrifying aura emanating from the other party, and his heart trembled. He quickly stood up.

"It is indeed I... I wonder how to address you?"

"This Blood Coffin is one of the elders of the Yin Sha Sect."

Elder Blood Coffin's voice was cold.

"I've come here to take Lu Tianxing's dog life."

Chu Kuangren was overjoyed upon hearing this: "With an elder taking action, Lu Tianxing is surely dead!"

"but……"

Elder Blood Coffin changed the subject.

"Lu Tianxing is, after all, a Guiyuan Realm expert. If we were to fight head-on, I would not be afraid, but I would inevitably suffer some injuries."

"Moreover, he has a large army protecting him, so killing him won't be that easy."

"Therefore, this time we can only outsmart them, not attack them head-on."

Chu Kuangren was taken aback.

"What brilliant plan does the elder have?"

Elder Blood Coffin sneered.

"Lu Tianxing is currently riding high on his success, and he is bound to become arrogant."

"Send someone to feign surrender and lure him to Luofeng Slope."

"The terrain there is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the yin energy is extremely heavy, making it the perfect place for me to set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Array."

"Once he enters the formation, even if he's at the Returning Origin Realm, he won't be able to escape!"

"When the time comes, I will make my move and surely refine it into an unparalleled corpse puppet!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up immediately.

"Great plan!"

"I... I'll make the arrangements right away!"

……

On the other side, in the Great Yan army camp.

Lu Tianxing sat in the command tent, looking at the map in front of him with a slight frown.

Although they were unstoppable during this period, capturing eighteen cities in succession.

But the Great Chu was, after all, an old and powerful nation with a profound history.

The deeper they went, the stronger the resistance they encountered.

Moreover, he felt that the battles of the past few days had been going too smoothly.

"Your Majesty, an envoy has been sent from the Great Chu, saying they are willing to surrender."

Just then, Wang Ji lifted the curtain and walked in, a hint of joy on his face.

"surrender?"

Lu Tianxing raised an eyebrow.

"They are willing to cede all the cities west of Luofengpo, only asking that Your Majesty withdraw your troops."

"Moreover, in order to show our sincerity, the Madman of Chu specially sent the Crown Prince to personally deliver the letter of surrender, and he is waiting for His Majesty at Luofeng Slope."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes.

Luofengpo...

He knew this place very well; its terrain was treacherous, making it an ideal spot for an ambush.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a trap?"

Although Wang Ji was pleased, he did not lose the caution expected of a commander.

"The Chu royal family has always been cunning. This time, they even chose Luofeng Slope as the location for the surrender ceremony. I'm afraid they have no good intentions at all."

Lu Tianxing pondered for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

But so what if it's a scam?

He is now at the Returning Origin Realm. Who in the Great Chu can harm him?

Even if a trap is laid, he can break it with his own strength.

Moreover, it's a great opportunity to completely crush them.

Of course, it would be best if they actually surrendered.

If it's fake, then we can take this opportunity to first capture the Crown Prince of Chu, and then wipe out the entire Chu royal family.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianxing stood up, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

"Send the order! The army shall break camp and head to Luofeng Slope!"

"I want to see what this madman Chu is really up to!"

……

Luofengpo, located in the heart of the Great Chu, is an extremely long and narrow valley.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, and only a narrow path in the middle can be passed through.

At this moment, the valley was very quiet, without even the sound of birds chirping.

Lu Tianxing led 30,000 elite cavalrymen into the valley in a grand procession.

"Your Majesty, the surrender ceremony is just ahead."

Wang Ji pointed to an open space in front of him and said.

There was indeed a high platform there, with an incense table and altar on it, and several people dressed in the official robes of the Great Chu Dynasty standing there.

However, Lu Tianxing soon sensed something was wrong.

It's too quiet here, and the yin energy in the valley is excessively strong.

"stop!"

With a wave of his hand, the army came to an instant halt.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Wang Ji was somewhat puzzled.

Lu Tianxing didn't speak, but stared intently at the high platform, his divine sense spreading out instantly.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically.

There was indeed an ambush!

"Retreat! Retreat first!"

Although there was an ambush, it was actually within his expectations, so he wasn't too worried.

His strength at the Returning Origin Realm gave him great confidence.

However, the moment he finished speaking, the previously clear sky suddenly turned dark.

Rumble!

Countless jet-black beams of light rose from the cliffs on both sides of the valley, quickly forming a huge light shield that enveloped the entire Falling Phoenix Slope.

Then, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from all directions.

Countless hideous ghosts rose from the ground and rushed towards the Great Yan army.

"Hehehe... Lu Tianxing, you've finally arrived!"

A chilling laugh echoed through the valley.

On the high platform, several officials of the Great Chu suddenly exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Instead, there was a middle-aged man carrying a small, black coffin on his back.

It was Elder Blood Coffin!
