Boom!
With a flick of his finger, Lin Jiufeng defeated a demon.
Then, he closed the seal.
“Sign in!”
[Sign-In successful. Received a Grotto-Heaven Great Pill!]
It was this pill again.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the pill in his palm for a moment before putting it away.
When the white cat made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he could then give her these pills for her to consume.
The Grotto-Heaven Great Pill was no longer useful to Lin Jiufeng.
After signing in, Lin Jiufeng left the underground palace.
“There are only a few days until the final sign-in…” Lin Jiufeng murmured.
Of the 3,000 plus demons, there were only a few of them left.
After the sign-in at this location ended, this demon’s den would completely become useless to Lin Jiufeng. At that time, Lin Jiufeng would release the demons inside into the world.
There was no reason for him to keep suppressing these demons inside.
After all, they had provided him with more than 3,000 treasures.
Since they had no value to him anymore, he might as well release them.
1
Days passed…
Lin Jiufeng would go and sign in once a day.
The rest of his time was spent in the Cold Palace as he continued to stabilize his cultivation base.
He paid no attention to the outside world at all.
His attention was always focused on how he could improve his cultivation base.
Staying true to his heart and without being swayed by the exciting world outside.
Outside the Imperial Capital, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had become even more low-key in recent days.
They were located deep in the mountains, quite a distance away from the Imperial Capital.
Standing on the highest mountain peak—they could see the vast, prosperous, and imposing Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was the largest city in the world today.
“If this city became ours, how good would that be?” Sect Leader Luo Yu stood on a tall mountain and looked down at the Imperial Capital as he mumbled.
“Sect Leader, have you found the location of our war machine yet?”
A young man behind him asked.
“The location of our war machine is actually very easy to find. Do you know why I’ve settled down close to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?” Sect Master Luo Yu asked.
The young man shook his head.
“After the war in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy ended back then, every major sect and factions in the world wanted to go in to investigate and occupy that place. Our Zenith Heaven Path Sect was no exception…”
“After all, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is the best place to seal yourself. Therefore, the previous Sect Leader brought the war machine there,” Sect Leader Luo Yu said.
“I didn’t know about these things.”
The young man had never heard of this before. Thus, he listened attentively.
“You were just born at that time, it’s normal that you don’t know about these,” Sect Master Luo Yu replied with a smile.
“The old Sect Leader brought the war machine with him because he wanted to rely on its powerful strength to occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Then, he wanted to turn the Land of Extremely Negative Energy into our territory and let the Zenith Heaven Path Sect sleep in that land, so we could tide over till the end of the era.”
Sect Leader Luo Yu explained. “As for the other exploration matters concerning the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, they weren’t as important as this.”
“Then?” The young man asked.
“Then? Of course, he failed.” Sect Leader Luo Yu’s expression turned ugly.
“The old Sect Leader was beaten to death, the war machine was lost, and it disappeared without a trace. The Zenith Heaven Path Sect also almost collapsed. Luckily, we disassembled the sect and made arrangements with the various seniors through our hidden channels…”
“After that, I brought the younger members such as yourself and fought for a place to seal ourselves for thousands of years.” Sect Leader Luo Yu let out a sigh.
If the Zenith Heaven Path Sect managed to take over the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, the entire sect would’ve sealed themselves in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and slept for thousands of years.
Unfortunately, they failed.
The old Sect Leader died in battle.
Back then, Sect Leader Luo Yu succeeded in the position of Sect Leader and became the new Sect Leader.
The first problem he faced was finding suitable locations to seal the Zenith Heaven Path Sect’s powerhouses.
The better mountains and rivers were chosen one after another and the sect seniors sealed themselves in succession.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect then disappeared without a trace.
It was only now that they slowly recovered under Sect Leader Luo Yu’s leadership.
But the powerhouses that had sealed themselves in different regions have yet to return.
The young man behind him was one of the people that Sect Leader Luo Yu had personally nurtured. The young man was sealed before he could fully mature, and now that he was unsealed, his true age was only about 20 years old.
Despite his age, he was already at the peak of the Human God Realm.
This was also the reason why Sect Master Luo Yu thought highly of him.
Geniuses were of foremost importance!
“Sect Leader, why didn’t you take revenge?” The young man frowned and asked.
“Do you know who occupied the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?”
Sect Leader Luo Yu asked wryly.
The young man shook his head.
“Nearly half of the powerhouses of the demonic path united together. Monsters, demons, Demon Kings, Demon Gods, and so on were amongst them.” Sect Leader Luo Yu said bitterly, “The powerhouses of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect added together aren’t even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.”
The young man choked, unable to speak.
“Thousands of demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods. With the joint forces of these demons and monsters, not only did we suffer a loss in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, but the other factions also suffered losses and were no longer able to compete for it…”
“Therefore, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy naturally became theirs.”
Sect Master Luo Yu explained.
“Then, the war machine…” The young man asked.
“Yes, the war machine is lost in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.”
Sect Leader Luo Yu nodded.
“Where is the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?” The young man asked. “If I know where the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is, I can go and dig out the war machine on my own.”
Sect Leader Luo Yu pointed and said, “It’s in that Imperial Capital.”
In a surprise, the young man exclaimed, “A capital city built above the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?”
Wasn’t that akin to seeking death?
Sect Leader Luo Yu said, “If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t have noticed it, right?”
The young man nodded. “That’s true. There’s no evil aura at all…”
“In the first five years, I didn’t discover anything either, let alone you. I only discovered some clues after comparing the maps from thousands of years ago and the maps of today’s time,” Sect Leader Luo Yu said bluntly.
“Why?” The young man asked, puzzled.
“Because more than 3,000 powerful demons built a demon’s in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. They buried themselves in it and hid the original appearance of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. The evil energy was then suppressed.”
“Even the founding emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty didn’t even notice it…”
“This was why he managed to choose to build the Imperial Capital above it.” Sect Master Luo Yu replied.
“If that’s the case, then we just need to search carefully in the Imperial Capital, we can just find a suspicious place, and then secretly dig it out. Won’t that do?” The young man asked.
“What you said isn’t wrong, but there’s a terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital right now. The elders and I can’t go, we have to be careful. Thus, this matter will be your responsibility.”
Sect Leader Luo Yu smiled at the young man.
“De Ming, are you willing to accept this mission?”
“I’m willing!” The young man, De Ming, agreed without hesitation.
“Remember, be careful. Don’t cause any huge trouble. Also, don’t let anyone find out who you are. With your realm as a Human God, ordinary people won’t be able to discover your true identity. Instead, the one you should fear is that terrifying fellow.”
Sect Master Luo Yu looked worried.
“Sect Master, don’t worry. I will definitely be careful. I will carefully search every inch of the Imperial Capital. I won’t let anyone find out who I am.” De Ming reassured him.
“Well… there’s no need to search the Forbidden City. That terrifying existence is very likely to be living in the Forbidden City. Never provoke him at all cost.” Sect Leader Luo Yu instructed.
“I understand…” De Ming turned around and left for the Imperial Capital.
Another day passed.
On this day, Lin Jiufeng went down to the demon’s den once more.
After defeating a demon, he announced.
“In five days, I will release all of you into the world.”
