C54 Underworld Wars Department Zhang Natural also Cut off

May 1943

After the bullets had been fired, the two sides engaged in a melee. The corpses of the two sides formed a mountain, and the battle was cruel. The Japanese and the Chinese army did not have enough time to collect the corpses before the next round of offensive and defensive battles took place.

Leading all the officers and soldiers, Hu Lian decided to sacrifice her own country. It could be seen from the situation of war at that time, that even the national army was not confident of defending the Three Gorges and preventing the Japanese from invading. They could only do it by hand and use their lives to protect the final dignity of the Chinese people.

Beneath the nearby Yangtze River, dozens of meters under the riverbed, in the Deep River ancient path, another battle was about to begin.

Mao Renfeng informed Zhang Tianrann that according to the news that was transmitted back to Chongqing via a spy hidden in the Yichang, Tong Duan had found an iron plate at the Zhouba River downstream of the Southern Jin Pass that allowed him to enter the ancient path, and was about to enter the ancient path.

The situation was critical, so Mao Renfeng immediately gave Zhang Tianrann an order: They must have the Underworld Warfare experts obstruct them inside the ancient path of the Three Gorges, they must not let Tong Duan open the ancient path, and let the Japanese army enter Chongqing.

Zhang Tianrann had a huge weakness in Mao Renfeng's hands, and this weakness came from his compromise when Nanjing was under house arrest. In the end, Zhang Tianrann broke away from the Japanese trying to rope him in and reached an agreement with Mao Renfeng, allowing him to draw up the army's dark battle plans. As for how Mao Renfeng controlled Zhang Tianrann, Zhang Mao and Zhang Mo had never mentioned it to anyone else.

After being forced by Mao Renfeng, Zhang Tianrann could only enter the ancient path from Ba Dong and stop Tong Duan at the underground river.

The mythical creature guarding the Ba Dong entrance were Hou and Bai Ze, both extremely ferocious mythical creature. Bai Ze in particular was a legendary mythical creature that once defeated the Vermillion Bird and the Azure Dragon.

Zhang Tianrann had been famous for a long time, so of course he could find a way to deal with Hou and Bai Ze. However, he needed someone to help him. Sun Ding was able to deal with the mythical creature and quickly find the entrance.

Sun Ding had a very high status in the Daoist Sect, because his family was a family of Star of Woe s that had been passed down for generations. Within the entire Dao Sect, only a few people knew about it. Only the Elders of the Dao Sect with high statuses had ever heard of this family.

Sun Ding was definitely capable, but being capable meant that he had a big problem, and that was Sun Ding's identity, he did not listen to Zhang Tianrann's recruitment.

Before Zhang Tianrann rushed to the Three Gorges, they had already invited Sun Ding. There weren't many people in the Dao Sect that could reject him, and there wouldn't be more than ten, but Sun Ding was one of them.

Zhang Tianrann reported Sun Ding's situation to Mao Renfeng, but didn't expect that he would arrive two days later. At that time, Sun Ding was only a middle-aged man in his thirties, so he was much younger than Zhang Tianrann.

Zhang Tianrann was curious, because he knew that with Mao Renfeng's abilities, he would definitely not be able to get rid of him. Thus, he tried to ask Sun Ding about it, but Sun Ding did not say who invited him to do so.

However, even if Sun Ding did not say it, it did not mean that he did not know what to say. As Zhang Tianrann thought about it, there was only one person who was most likely to be one of the core leaders of the opposition — Gu Chixiao.

It was just that Zhang Tianrann did not think that Gu Chixiao would help Mao Renfeng, or perhaps it was the Kuomintang. This was because although Gu Chixiao was also from the Kuomintang and was the father's trusted aide, he had once been the head of the administration at Huangpu Military Academy. But then he turned his back on Chang Kai-shen, turned his back on the dark and went to the Red Regime in the Nanchang Revolt, which was a very important position in Yan'an.

Zhang Tianrann could not ask anything. In any case, Sun Ding's answer was contradictory, saying that he was here to help Zhang Tianrann against the sun and save the country. However, when Zhang Tianrann first looked for him, he said that he was too old and didn't want to leave the mountain.

Since the situation was tense, Zhang Tianrann did not have time to pester these things constantly. Thus, he immediately began to enter the ancient path from Ba Dong.

Sun Ding's motive for coming was strange, but he had indeed come to do something. His sincerity was quickly expressed through his actions. He expressed that this time, he would absolutely follow Zhang Tianrann's instructions.

Thus, the Daoist magicians formed the following groups:

Leader: Zhang Tianrann.

Vice Leader: Sun Ding.

Staff Officer: Zhuang Chongguang, is Zhang Tianrann's trusted aide.

Clan members: Huang Tiehyan of Huang Family, Wei Yongqi of Wei Family, Ghaob Miel of releasing the Gu, Zhong Yifaang of Plowshare Witch Family.

Sun Ding found the location of the mythical creature Statue, it was located on the two sides of the Ba Dong River, called Shen Nong Xi and Shangguan Du. Zhang Tianrann ordered the servants to dig the mythical creature s that were buried underground.

Hou in the official ferry, Bai Ze in Shen Nong Xi. The Hou was one hundred and ten feet deep in the ground while Bai Ze was seventy feet deep. It took a lot of manpower and resources to raise the two stones to the ground.

The two stone statues were back in the light of day, but the commoners couldn't understand it. They only thought it was two rough stones. Then, Sun Ding began to use his powerful technique to transport the two mythical creature to the heart of the Yangtze River.

At that time, the Yangtze River was filled with raging winds and torrential rain. The flow of the river suddenly changed, forming a huge whirlpool. The boat carrying the two sculptures spun in the middle of the river.

Hou and Bai Ze were enemies. Once they drew near, they would kill each other.

Sun Ding immediately ordered his men to throw the two stone statues into Jiang Xin's heart. Immediately afterwards, the boat left the center of the river and docked at the shore.

For an entire day and night, the center of the Yangtze River bubbled continuously. Lightning flashed on the surface of the river, and at dawn, the bubbling turned red. Only then did the river surface calm down.

Sun Ding had already said that both the mythical creature had suffered injuries on both sides and had fallen into the bed of river bottom. They no longer had the strength to guard the entrance to ancient path. They then entered a remote cave about seven or eight kilometers away from the Yangtze River. In a forked cave in the cave, they found a stone wall marked with a picture of a Triones. Sun Ding told Zhang Tianrann that this was the entrance indicated by his predecessors.

Thus, Zhang Tianrann blew up the stone wall. Behind the stone wall was a downwards tunnel, so Sun Ding led the group of people into the ancient path s, and followed the ancient path s downstream. When they arrived at the boundary of the Cyan Beach, they met Tong Duan who was rushing upstream, as well as the Japanese Yin Yang Master led by Tong Duan.

In the history of Taoism in China, people believed that ancient path of the Three Gorges was the path to hell, and the opening was in Fengdu, which was located in the Sichuan Province upstream. Thus, Fengdu was known as China's only ghost capital.

In ancient times, many Daoists could walk in the ancient path and travel back and forth between the rivers.

Also, many dangerous battles had occurred within the ancient path. The price was that people gradually forgot about the entrance to the ancient path of the Three Gorges, and most of it was because in the struggle between the Daoists, the experts took the initiative to close the entrance.

By the time of the Republic of China, only the entrance to Zigui river section was left, which could still be found by the Daoist magicians. There was also the entrance to Ba Dong and the entrance to Qiaomen.

Zigui of the mythical creature Proud Sky and Bianchi love to move, thousands of years, slowly downstream. This gave Tong Duan the chance to find it.

When one enters the ancient path, one must alert the guardian mythical creature. Once the mythical creature is not under control, they will destroy the entrance, which was also why the entrance was becoming fewer and fewer.

Back to the main topic.

After Sun Ding led everyone else and entered the ancient path, due to the fight between the Hou and Bai Ze, which exhausted their energy, the two mythical creature had sunk into the river bottom. It was impossible for them to get anything out of it, so Barton's ancient path was immediately sealed.

The current situation was that Sun Ding and Zhang Tianrann still had a group of people, and they could only fight with the Japanese Tong Duan to the death. After defeating Tong Duan, they left the ancient path stage. Or they would be defeated and retreat to the Kui Gate.

And the latter, was the result that Mao Renfeng had ordered for her to do so. Mao Renfeng had also hinted that if they couldn't separate Tong Duan in the Western Tomb Gorge, he would break the entrance and exit of Kui Gate. Zhang Tianrann thought that the person who could be at the Kui gate preparing to close the entrance at any time could very likely be Gu Chixiao.

Gu Chixiao's reputation in the Taoist world was not worse than his, but Zhang Tianrann understood that his abilities were definitely not inferior to his. It was at least stronger than the Star of Woe.

Therefore, these Warlocks led by Zhang Tianrann were the same as the army on the ground, the Hu Lian Clan.

The place where the Chinese and Japanese Warlock experts met was right below the Green Beach. This Qingtan area was a fault in the Three Gorges region.

The ancient path was extremely wide here. The underground rivers gathered here to form a huge underground lake. At the end of the lake, there was a stone door. On both sides of the stone door, there were two carvings of carp leaping over the dragon door. It was unknown which generation of Warlocks from before had carved this door after entering the ancient path. I wonder what the purpose of carving these two carp is.

Although they were separated by a lake, Zhang Tianrann and the others could see clearly that because of the two carp statues, two streams of water spouted out from their mouths.

Not only that, Zhang Tianrann and the others saw that behind the stone door, there was a giant mythical creature's skeleton sitting on the stone wall. This kind of mythical creature was a big fish, the fishbone and fangs on its head were rugged, and half of its body's bones were exposed outside the stone wall. If the big fish were alive, his body would probably be much larger than the average ship.

Although the few Warlocks had long since mentally prepared themselves for this strange phenomenon, they could not help but be secretly alarmed and even become restless.

Zhang Tianrann calculated the time and ordered everyone to rest in place for a while. Their meaning was obvious, the place to fight with Tong Duan, was here. Thus, everyone followed the instructions of their sects and sat cross-legged on the wet ground to meditate and rest.
