Chapter 650: Chapter 650:News from Yinglan

"A name for myself?" The phantom woman thought for a long time but couldn\'t come up with anything, as if naming was a very difficult task.

"How about I give you one?" Zhong Shan offered with a smile.

"Sure, you suggest one, and I\'ll consider it!" the phantom woman replied, smiling.

"You can create heavenly demons, and these demons focus on illusions and allure. \'Ji\' is a term for a beautiful woman. How about \'Huan Ji\'?" Zhong Shan proposed after some thought.

The phantom woman thought for a moment, and her eyes gradually brightened.

"Huan Ji it is!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"What are your plans for the future?" Zhong Shan asked.

"I don\'t know! But, please don\'t dismantle the Hundred-World Cavern. Without it, I might revert to my original form!" Huan Ji said pitifully.

"Don\'t worry, the Hundred-World Cavern will never be dismantled. It will be your residence from now on," Zhong Shan assured her with a smile.

"Thank you!" Huan Ji smiled happily, but there was a trace of cunning in her expression that was hard to notice.

"But, people will continue to come here for the hundred reincarnations. Take care of them," Zhong Shan said.

"Don\'t worry. Since you\'re keeping the Hundred-World Cavern, I\'ll help your subordinates improve their mindsets!" Huan Ji replied confidently.

"Good."

Zhong Shan left the Hundred-World Cavern, reassured his court officials, and entered seclusion.

This breakthrough of the mind was greatly beneficial for Zhong Shan. Most astonishingly, due to the elevation of his state of mind, he broke through to the second stage of the Emperor\'s Extreme Realm.

Upon emerging from seclusion, Zhong Shan himself could hardly believe that his state of mind had reached such a formidable level. His cultivation had been elevated purely through the enhancement of his spiritual state.

Zhong Shan had two bodies: his main body with an alarmingly poor root quality, and his shadow body with exceptionally good root quality. Whenever his main body broke through, his shadow body immediately followed. Without the limitations of his main body, his shadow body would have long since become immortal.

Five years later, in the underworld, Changjing, Zhong Shan\'s study.

Lin Xiao, Yan Chongzhi, Mr. Corpse, and others stood silently on either side.

The two great empires had been pacified by Lin Xiao and Yan Chongzhi! The nation was stable. Da An had firmly established its powerful position among the empires of the underworld.

"Your Majesty, the battle between the Tian family and the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty seems to be nearing its end," Lin Xiao reported.

"No," Zhong Shan frowned.

"Oh?"

"The Dayan Heavenly Dynasty is already history, three months ago!" Zhong Shan said with a deep breath.

"The Dayan Heavenly Dynasty has fallen?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the latest intelligence. The Tian family forces descended upon the capital of the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty, launching a powerful assault. Within three days, they shattered the capital, destroyed the imperial court, dispersed the heavenly fate, and caused the complete collapse of the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty," Zhong Shan said, deeply furrowing his brows.

"A heavenly dynasty, one of the two in the underworld, destroyed by a single family? This is..." Lin Xiao said in disbelief.

"The Tian family is incredibly powerful, with extremely deep roots. They have existed for countless millennia. They generally do not participate in the struggle for dominion over the world, but once they do, their power is overwhelming," Yan Chongzhi said, frowning.

"Such a vast empire, and it has been destroyed just like that?" Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

"Although the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty was a heavenly dynasty, its foundation was not deep. Even Xing Tai Dou\'s cultivation was not invincible. Nangong Sheng once said that Xing Tai Dou was at the ninth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Naturally, the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty couldn\'t compare with the numerous heavenly dynasties of the Yangjian," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"The Tian family is indeed terrifying," Lin Xiao frowned.

"The Tian family has absolute control in the underworld. They are the strongest, but they usually don\'t make enemies with heavenly dynasties or holy lands unless someone is colluding with people from the great thousand world. They generally don\'t get involved in the struggle for supremacy," Yan Chongzhi reflected.

"But such a behemoth must be feared by countless people," Zhong Shan noted.

"Yes, everyone fears them, but no one dares to provoke them. No one knows the depth of the Tian family\'s power. Any major force that dares to clash with the Tian family has been wiped out. This time, the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty is no exception. A powerful heavenly dynasty was wiped out in just five years," Yan Chongzhi said with a wry smile.

"The overseers of the small thousand world? Hmph!" Zhong Shan sneered.

Seeing Zhong Shan\'s expression, Yan Chongzhi\'s eyelid twitched, showing a trace of horror. He could see the ambition in Zhong Shan\'s eyes.

The Tian family? His Majesty has grand ambitions!

"Your Majesty, did Xing Tai Dou die?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No, Xing Tai Dou is still at the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Killing him is difficult. He managed to escape," Zhong Shan replied.

"Escaped?" Lin Xiao found it strange.

"Yes, he fled to the Immortal Realm. The Tian family has even issued a statement demanding the Immortal Realm hand over Xing Tai Dou, or they will be accused of colluding with the great thousand world," Zhong Shan said with a cold smile.

"Accused? Does the Tian family really think they own the small thousand world?" Lin Xiao was indignant.

"They have the power, so they can make the rules," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded.

Indeed, if you have the power, you can dictate terms. This is the law of the strong, and the Tian family is strong.

At that moment, a guard suddenly rushed in.

Zhong Shan\'s face darkened. In Da An, it was a strict rule that no one could interrupt Zhong Shan during a meeting except for Gu Qianyou.

"Scoundrel! Do you not know that we are discussing state affairs? Who gave you the courage?" Yan Chongzhi barked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, someone holds the Nine Dragons Order and requests an audience with Your Majesty. I had no choice. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" the guard knelt immediately.

The Nine Dragons Order—seeing it was like seeing the Emperor himself. Who would dare to neglect it?

"The Nine Dragons Order? Bring them in!" Zhong Shan immediately ordered.

The Nine Dragons Order? Who in the underworld has the Nine Dragons Order?

"Your Majesty～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

A voice full of urgency called out as the black-robed man was ushered in and immediately knelt.

Yan Chongzhi had a peculiar expression. Who is this now?

"Tai Zhong, what are you doing?" Zhong Shan quickly moved to help the black-robed man up.

The black-robed man was Wei Taizhong, the chief steward of the Da An Imperial Court. He had accompanied Zhong Shan to the underworld before and had gone on his own to find Yinglan.

At this moment, Wei Taizhong looked exhausted and haggard, his hair turned a strange red. His face was filled with sorrow.

"Your Majesty, this old servant won\'t rise unless Your Majesty saves Yinglan!" Wei Taizhong knelt, refusing to get up.

"You found Yinglan?" Zhong Shan\'s face lit up with joy.

"Yes, Yinglan is imprisoned. I was unable to rescue her. Please, Your Majesty, save her!" Wei Taizhong pleaded sorrowfully.

"Bang!"

Zhong Shan\'s palm smashed down, shattering the desk into pieces.

"Who? Who dares imprison Yinglan?" Zhong Shan roared, his eyes emitting a fierce and murderous aura.

"It\'s the Tian family, from the Ten Thousand Zhang Hell," Wei Taizhong replied.

Upon hearing Wei Taizhong\'s words, Yan Chongzhi\'s eyelid twitched, his eyes showing an intense and strange expression. The Tian family? Are you asking His Majesty to challenge the Tian family now?

"Get up and explain slowly," Zhong Shan immediately commanded.

"No, I won\'t rise unless Your Majesty agrees to save Yinglan!" Wei Taizhong stubbornly insisted.

"Foolish words. Now that we know where Yinglan is, how could I not rescue her? Get up and explain everything clearly," Zhong Shan said, glaring at him.

"Yes!" Wei Taizhong stood up, his face showing a look of gratitude.

Wei Yinglan was Wei Taizhong\'s only family in this lifetime.

"Someone, summon the Director of the Yitian Bureau! Also, Yin Luoyue and Jiu Lao!" Zhong Shan called to the guard outside.

"Yes!" a guard immediately responded.

"What\'s going on? How is Yinglan in the Tian family? How did you get this information?" Zhong Shan asked, staring at Wei Taizhong.

"Over the years, I\'ve had some fortuitous encounters and made connections with some powerful individuals. While searching for Yinglan, I was fortunate to meet a ghost general who knew about her," Wei Taizhong explained.

"Oh?" Zhong Shan showed a hint of doubt.

"At first, I didn\'t believe him, but when I saw this record, I had to believe it. Your Majesty, this is the record," Wei Taizhong said, taking out a memory crystal.

Zhong Shan eagerly activated the crystal. Inside, a white-clad man was seen holding a small bottle, sucking Yinglan\'s ghost into it. The man had a \'Tian\' character embroidered on his chest, indicating he was from the Tian family.

"The Tian family?" Zhong Shan\'s eyes narrowed.

"Initially, I had doubts, but I went to the Ten Thousand Zhang Hell and found this man. He was indeed from the Tian family. He was collecting ghosts, including Yinglan\'s, and sending them to the Tian family. The ghosts were eventually sent to the Tian family\'s \'Jingbo Pool\' by their master. I tried to infiltrate but couldn\'t get in. When I confronted the Tian family members, they ignored me. Your Majesty, Yinglan is in the \'Jingbo Pool.\' You must save her!" Wei Taizhong pleaded.

"What is the \'Jingbo Pool\'?" Zhong Shan asked.

"I don\'t know! I even captured a Tian family member to interrogate him, but he didn\'t know either," Wei Taizhong shook his head.

Zhong Shan\'s brows furrowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, you\'re not really going, are you?" Yan Chongzhi asked anxiously.

"Since Yinglan is in the Tian family, I must go!" Zhong Shan affirmed.

"But, Your Majesty, the \'Jingbo Pool\' is so secret that even Tian family members don\'t know about it. The Tian family is unlikely to divulge its location. If you force your way in, it will be dangerous. I missed the encounter with the three great sorcerers at the Sinking Blood Sea, but I\'m certain that the Tian family is even more dangerous. Please reconsider!" Yan Chongzhi urged.

"No need to say more. If Yinglan is there, I will go!" Zhong Shan\'s tone was resolute.

Seeing Zhong Shan\'s determination, Yan Chongzhi could only sigh and step aside.

After a short wait, Nangong Sheng, Jiu Lao, and Yin Luoyue were brought in.

Reincarnation passages, the ultimate reincarnation passage—Zhong Shan\'s survival was a point of great curiosity for Yin Luoyue. After a period of recovery, he hurried to the Da An Imperial Court, filled with countless thoughts. Should the tiger clan fully support the Da An Imperial Court now that the treaty with Gu Qianyou had been renewed? Is the Da An Imperial Court worth our dedication? Yin Luoyue needed to assess.

But when Yin Luoyue arrived at Da An, he was shocked to see Nangong Sheng as a minister there. His mouth hung open for a long time. Nangong Sheng? A minister of Da An? What\'s going on? Am I dreaming?
