Little Yama took away the Three Guillotines, while Liu Daoist continued to single-handedly hold off the underworld ghost army under the Nine Halls Yama, fighting with great difficulty.

"Impressive, truly worthy of being Lady Houtu's clone."

King Zhuanlun, Cui Qingwu, sneered coldly, invoking the Twenty-four Array Heavenly Books. This treasure, an Immortal Artifact from the Cui Family, reportedly originated during China's Great Tang era as an immortal artifact of the military immortal Li Jing, containing twenty-four array diagrams.

Xia Huaijin also retracted the Green Sheep Treasure Umbrella, Zhang Ruoshu the Heavenly River Star Sand, Gu Huaiyuan invoked the Heaven and Earth Bridge, the Ma Family ghosts summoned the Dragon Beard Whip, the Zhai Family ghosts the Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Box, and the Gao Family ghosts summoned the Kui Dragon Drum.

Numerous immortal artifacts unleashed overwhelming immortal might, even pressing the Gao Gang lower and lower.

Together they moved toward the Gao Gang, preparing to harness the power of the immortal artifacts to invade the Goddess Temple!

Lady Houtu remained inside the temple, not coming out to battle.

The Nine Halls Yama neared the temple, when incense fire qi began drifting toward them, flowing into the ribbons around King Dushi Xu Luoying, King Chuanjiang Li Tang, and King Qinguang Yang Tianhe.

The incense was from the people of the Xu Family, Li Family, and Yang Family, accompanied by various thoughts from the three families. These thoughts were all calls for help!

At the same time, the ghostly forces besieging the Liu Daoist also received incense fire from the three families, immediately becoming aware of the sieges at Lingzhou, Quanzhou, and Court State!

Yang Tianhe frowned, halting his steps, hesitating.

The Yang family's pleas for help indicated their perilous situation!

If the Yang Family were annihilated, the ghosts would become rootless floaters.

"Brother Yang, let's first capture the Goddess Temple and flatten the Imperial Capital!" suggested King Chuanjiang Li Tang.

Yang Tianhe was undecided, and even King Dushi Xu Luoying hesitated, knowing that the mortal Xu Family had been destroyed, fearing that the underworld Xu Family's forces might be left without successors.

Emperor Song Gu Huaiyuan spoke solemnly, "This is a strategy to rescue Zhao by besieging Wei! The traitor Chen Shi intends to prevent us from cooperating, breaking us one by one! Fellow Daoists, let's first capture the Goddess Temple, destroy the Imperial Capital; the forces attacking your families will crumble without us needing to act!"

Xu Luoying's expression was uncertain. Suddenly, he turned and left, laughing, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Xu Family's immortal artifact, the Sun and Moon Bead, remains in the mortal Xu Family's possession. If the Xu Family fails and this treasure falls into enemy hands, it will be more disadvantageous for us! I'll be back soon!"

He ascended on the wind, commanding, "All Xu Family warriors, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Thousands of Xu Family ghosts rose, landing in the hell of one Xu Family Judge after another, as six great Xu Family Judges sprinted to catch up with Xu Luoying.

Xu Luoying frowned; fourteen Judges had come from the Xu Family, yet only six arrived, with the remaining eight Judges bound and hung by Liu Daoist from a tree.

"This Daoist is indeed formidable, like the immortal tree before the Goddess Temple!"

He couldn't worry about much else, immediately leading the six great Judges, leaped with a crack, as a Yin Thunder rolled by, and they vanished.

"Your Majesty!"

A Li Family ghost cried out, "The mortal Li Family is also asking for our aid, claiming that the skeleton king of Heavenly Pond Ghost Country has invaded the underworld, breaking all nine hells! Should we return?"

King Chuanjiang Li Tang's expression wavered, undecided.

He wanted Li Xiaozai, the current family head, to suffer greatly, but didn't wish for the Li Family to be uprooted.

But the matter at hand was also critical; without him, capturing the Goddess Temple would be uncertain!

"The Li Family is urgent!"

He suddenly resolved, forcing a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Li Family's immortal artifact, the ancestor Daoist robe, is not with me but in the mortal Li Family. I must also leave, lest Li Xiaozai loses the battle and this artifact aids the enemy!"

He immediately flew up, gathering many Li Family judges and ghosts, and hurried away.

Commander Zhang Ruoshu eyed Yang Tianhe, saying, "Brother Yang, you have no reason to return, right? This time we must complete the operation in one go; if even you leave, the Twelve Families may be destroyed by Chen Shi one by one!"

Yang Tianhe resolved, speaking deeply, "The Yang family's martial prowess is exceptional; I don't believe Chen Shi has such power to simultaneously attack three Great Families, flattening them!"

Upon his words, the Yamas were uplifted in spirit.

If Yang Tianhe had left, there would have been no need to attack the Goddess Temple.

"Rest assured, Brother Yang, I have already commanded Xia Family warriors to support the Yang Family!"

Xia Huaijin said, "The Twelve Families are like intertwined branches, sharing glory and loss; we won't sit by idly through Chen Shi's atrocities."

Ghosts from other families also commanded their mortal families to support the Yang Family.

Yang Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, taking the lead toward the Goddess Temple, saying deeply, "This battle determines survival; to live, we must courageously kill the enemy!"

All the ghosts followed him, charging toward the Goddess Temple.

Quanzhou's Li Family.

"Why haven't Li Tinglan and the others come to support?"

Li Xiaozai battled Little Dun Fairy alongside two Li Family elders, yet suffered repeated injuries.

He was the main force in this battle, confronting Little Dun Fairy's attack, using the ancestor Daoist robe artifact as a shield, yet was gravely injured by her within a short time!

If not for his desperate defense, his father and grandfather might have perished at first contact with Little Dun Fairy.

The delayed arrival of the underworld ghost army worried him; in his haste, his Primordial Spirit glanced at the underworld's Puming Palace Nine Hells, and his heart sank deeper.

"I miscalculated, believing Chen Shi would certainly target the mortal Li Family this time, thus instructing King Chuanjiang Li Tang to leave the Nine Hells to protect the Li Family. I didn't expect Chen Shi's skull body to lead Heavenly Pond Country's army, directly targeting the Nine Hells. It's over, the Li Family has completely lost."
