Old Liu closed his folding fan and said, "General Jiang Chen, Empress, you can take them away. The Emperor's remains, you can also take them and grind them to dust. I only ask that you leave the Emperor's Will to help my lord break through the Tiangang realm."

"Impossible!" Ying Gou roared before Jiang Chen could speak, "How important is the Emperor's Will? How can it be given to Li Po? We cannot agree to this condition."

Old Liu laughed: "The Emperor's Will may be priceless to others, but it is not so for you two."

"General Jiang Chen disdains inheriting the Emperor's Will. As for General Ying Gou? The Emperor's Will is a deadly poison to you."

Ying Gou gasped when he heard this.

Although Jiang Chen had always been a general and minister, he was an arrogant person.

Jiang Chen rebelled against the Emperor for a beautiful woman, certainly meaning that he loved beauty more than the name of a loyal minister. However, in his heart, he wanted to compete with the Emperor.

Jiang Chen would never inherit the Emperor's Will. By doing so, he would become the Emperor's successor and would forever live in the Emperor's shadow. That would not only be a shackle for Jiang Chen, but also an insult.

Jiang Chen would never accept it.

As for Ying Gou, such a weathercock, when he encountered the Emperor's Will, he could only be shocked by it. How could he claim kingship?

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that the person who understands me is actually Master Liu, whom I have never met!"

"I agree to your condition."

"However, I want to see Nie Xiaochun first."

Old Liu nodded: "Of course, that is what should be."

"I will have Wang the Butcher and Feng Ruoxing escort Nie Xiaochun from the demon realm into the Yin-Yang Inn. That happens to be diagonally opposite the demon realm."

Jiang Chen looked into the distance, his killing intent burning like fire: "Then open up the two realms."

Jiang Chen's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, shaking thousands of miles.

The demons who were still watching the situation, in an instant, felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and began to gather in one direction.

With just one sentence, Jiang Chen forced the demons, who were originally scattered like sand, to band together.

"General, wait!" Old Liu stopped Jiang Chen and said, "Finding Nie Xiaochun is important, but the Emperor's body is equally important."

"If the General trusts me."

"I can plan for the General."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Speak!"

Ying Gou was shocked: "My lord, do you really believe him? What if..."

Jiang Chen laughed: "People with a purpose are worth believing. Besides, he must rely on me now."

"Li Po and Ye Yang are top figures among the younger generation, but in this Yin-Yang Inn, they are not enough to be seen. Without my help, they cannot leave any realm."

"I am not afraid of any conspiracy they have!"

"Any conspiracy is vulnerable in the face of absolute strength."

Ying Gou dared not say more and could only retreat to the side.

Old Liu said, "The General can take us through the Central Realm, but after the Central Realm, only Black Night Owl and I will continue forward with the General. The Four Great Earth Masters will all stay behind to excavate the Emperor's tomb."

"When the General returns to the Central Realm to meet Nie Xiaochun, we should have already opened the tomb door."

Jiang Chen responded: "This general does not need you to follow. You stay and help the Right Four Guards excavate the tomb!"

"Ying Gou, prepare the army and set off!"

Ying Gou's eyes turned blood red in an instant, followed by a long roar like a horn, and dozens of humanoid demon corpses stood up from the mountain of corpses, neatly arranged behind Ying Gou.

The demonic energy on the corpses themselves, mixed with the corpse energy after their zombification, filled the air, and unbridled killing intent raged on the dozens of zombies.

Jiang Chen took a step forward, and the sound of footsteps like war drums shook the earth. Jiang Chen roared: "Ying Gou, lead the army to open the way, directly to the Central Realm. Those who obstruct will be killed without mercy!"

Ying Gou stirred up a storm between his roars, leading the zombies to speed towards the Central Realm.

From behind, all the zombies except Ying Gou were running wildly on foot. The momentum brought by dozens of zombies was like thousands of troops and horses, and the demons who did not have time to retreat were instantly crushed into a rain of blood by the charging zombies.

Ying Gou waved his hand, stirring up blood and pushing forward.

Ying Gou charged forward all the way, and the blood he stirred up gathered into rolling waves, also following him all the way forward, forcibly pushing open a bloody path in the demon realm.

Ying Gou did not slow down until he reached the edge of the demon realm.

Jiang Chen walked slowly to the edge of the demon realm with his hands behind his back: "Why are you stagnant?"

Ying Gou whispered: "My lord, I feel that there are unknown spaces hidden nearby, I am afraid... I am afraid there is an ambush."

Ying Gou's feeling was not wrong. The Central Realm of the inn was protected in countless spaces. Even if the other party was as strong as Ying Gou, he would not dare to easily touch the taboo of space.

Jiang Chen waved Ying Gou away, his feet suddenly sank into the ground, and the earth under his feet suddenly exploded outward. As cracks as wide as arms spread outward, countless branches and vines also surged out of the cracks in the ground.

That was the ancient tree that Jiang Chen brought out.

He wanted to use the ancient tree to open the closed space.
