Chapter 1898: Fighting Over and Over Again
On Hell's side, the army was moving chaotically. They were being oppressed by the strong cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Ji Chang stopped attacking. He proudly stood in the sky like a king and watched. Lin Feng and the others moved back. They saw many people die and fall from the sky. Their hearts were pounding violently.
"Don't try to protect yourself, just keep bombarding the atmosphere at the same time!" shouted Yang Mian furiously. If they didn't join hands and attacked chaotically, their power was limited. They had to join hands. They were losing too many people, and many of them were also being injured.
"We're going to lose the battle," said Lin Feng. The strong cultivators from Jalacandra Fairyland had underestimated the enemy. They were much weaker. On Hell's side, the losses were too important. The strong cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were slaughtering them.
Yang Mian looked furious. He moved his fists and a gigantic rotating imprint appeared, containing the vitality of the earth and sky. It shot forwards. At the same time, Yang Mian continued attacking. Dazzling imprints appeared and attacked another group.
"Die!" shouted Yang Mian explosively. He felt like an ant fighting against an army of lions.
"We'll lose if we move that chaotically. We have to make them disperse too then! Fighting chaotically can be good too!" shouted Yang Mian furiously and releasing death strength.
Lin Feng waved his hands and a powerful life and death pattern appeared. He didn't need to say anything, the strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland understood. They started releasing and condensing death strength at the same time. At the same time, Lin Feng moved his hands back and the life and death pattern grew to massive size and rained down.
"Condense the death strength in the lights!" shouted a strong cultivator of Jalacandra Fairyland explosively. Many people on Hell's side noticed the gigantic life and death pattern. They also started condensing death strength, which moved into the life and death pattern. It was more and more magnificent and spectacular. Then, it rolled out like a flying rug in the wind.
The strong cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were taken aback. Who controlled that life and death pattern? He could surprisingly absorb death strength!
"Die!" said Lin Feng. The life and death pattern turned into a deadly ocean of energies. The death strength was destroying the earth and sky. People from Hell were astonished and continued adding more and more death strength.
The gigantic life and death pattern streaked across the sky and enveloped a group of strong cultivators. The death strength started corroding their bodies, and they almost instantly collapsed and died. Instantly, the other army started moving chaotically as well, trying to get away from the pattern.
"Opportunity!" Hell's cultivators immediately understood there was an opportunity, so they released more death energy. The whole army of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was forced to disperse. If they didn't do that, they could die all at once!
Ji Chang frowned as he looked over at Lin Feng. He was surprised and blurted out, "It's him!"
Ji Chang had already seen Lin Feng once, when he had gone to the Godly Wood Valley and obtained the Heavenly Grace Godly Wood. Lin Feng had said he wanted the Heavenly Grace Godly Wood as well, and everybody had made fun of him. He had never thought back then that the next time he'd meet Lin Feng would be here!
Ji Chang was convinced that Lin Feng couldn't have become too strong. However, he didn't understand why Lin Feng was here.
Lin Feng's third eye didn't have an imprint, which meant that he was on the side of the people from the Milky Way battlefield, from Hell. How had he ended up in Hell? Even for him, a strong cultivator of the Ji Clan, there was only one other way to go to Hell: the legendary forbidden area of Jiu You! Few people knew about it…
There was another possibility, that the person wasn't Lin Feng, he just looked like him a lot.
Lin Feng sensed something and looked back at Ji Chang.
When Lin Feng looked at Ji Chang, his soul started shaking, and he had the sensation his soul was going to collapse. It started shaking violently.
Lin Feng's eyes glittered. Life energy started flowing throughout his body.
"Break!" shouted Ji Chang from the other side of the battlefield. The whole atmosphere shook violently. More energies surrounded Lin Feng, and his blood started boiling even as he shivered.
"Ji Chang's Dao is much more powerful than Juxiao's Dao. He is even stronger than the one with the immortal king body!" muttered Lin Feng, gritting his teeth. His life energies pulsed around him. Lin Feng and Ji Chang were now calmly staring at one another.
It was the first time Lin Feng was facing Ji Chang, Champion University's strongest disciple. Someday, he'd definitely become a Champion. Lin Feng had to surpass him! As they were staring at one another, the two armies moved even more wildly around them.
Finally, Ji Chang stopped looking at Lin Feng and back at his troops. Even though he was wondering why Lin Feng was there, he had to pay attention and remain vigilant. He needed to lead his army, or he wouldn't be able to win!
More Cyan Dragon Totems appeared. Ji Chang threw himself at Yang Mian, his Dragon Totems trailing streams of light. Someone tried to stop the dragons and died instantly. Nobody could stop Ji Chang!
Yang Mian noticed Ji Chang coming and glared at him furiously. This was going to be his main enemy!
Yang Mian did a knifehand strike, and a river of destructive strength invaded the atmosphere.
"Die!" shouted Ji Chang explosively. Two light beams emerged from his eyes, shooting for Yang Mian. However, at the same time, Yang Mian's third eye became dazzling and a disc imprint appeared. An ancient silhouette appeared behind him, majestic and imposing, and formed kingly hand seals.
The Dragon Totems roared, nine Cyan Dragon Totems baring their fangs. The now-gigantic ancient imprint collided with the dragons, the impact blinding.
What a powerful attack! Unless I use Dao strength, I can't really compete with them, especially in terms of soul strength. I am not qualified at all to fight against them!, thought Lin Feng when he saw them fight. He knew how strong he really was. Ji Chang could easily kill someone like Jumo. Lin Feng had managed to kill the members of the Ancient Demon Clan thanks to his deployment spells and the demon pond. However, there was still a significant difference between Lin Feng and these people!
The battle was frenzied and uncontrolled. There were people fighting everywhere. Someone suddenly threw themselves at Lin Feng. Lin Feng moved back to the strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland and they all released death strength at the same time.
"Destroy!" said Lin Feng raising his head. Death lights appeared and pierced through the man's body. He turned grey and died instantly.
Lin Feng picked up the corpse's items and gazed into the distance. Strong cultivators kept dying one after another. Lin Feng wondered, How come those people are dying so easily?
PMG Chapter 1899
Chapter 1899: Understanding the Dao
The two armies kept fighting. The Yellow Springs were filled with strong cultivators' corpses floating on the surface or drowning. Throughout history, trillions of people had died and fallen into the Yellow Springs.
Fewer and fewer people still had the strength to fight. Lin Feng and his friends from Jalacandra Fairyland were strong enough to continue fighting, and their strategy was good, too.
Lin Feng kept pulling back. Strong cultivators kept falling from the sky, dead. The Yellow Springs were turning red from all the blood.
The Yellow Springs were like acid rivers, the corpses quickly dissolved after falling into them.
Suddenly, a band of strong cultivators moved towards Lin Feng, a small group of attackers!
"That person controls death strength. Let's kill him!" said someone coldly. People converged on Lin Feng from every direction.
"Earth cosmic energy, release!" shouted someone coldly. A powerful strength surrounded Lin Feng and his friends. They could sense their blood and bones starting to ache from the pressure.
Lin Feng released a death pattern which moved forwards, and at the same time, the strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland released their death strength.
"Empty space cosmic energies!" shouted someone loudly. A golden hand appeared and surrounded the death pattern.
"Kill him!" said Lin Feng coldly. Death strength surrounded the one who had just spoken. A powerful black sword pierced through his body, inflicting a mortal wound.
An explosive strength suddenly turned into a dragon and shot towards the sword. However, at that moment, death strength surrounded him and ate away at his life.
"Destroy!" said a voice which seemed to come from Hell. Sword energies pierced through his head. His face was frozen in desperation. What had happened?… he fell down into the Yellow Springs and his blood tainted the waters below
"Back, attack with strength!" said Lin Feng. He released a Purple Tank, the others used death strength to attack and pulled back at the same time. Lin Feng suddenly directed some death energies to surround someone and said, "Kill him!"
Endless death strength surrounded his target again, and he died almost instantly. He was extremely strong, but he had died in but a heartbeat!
Lin Feng and his friends retreated further and further. They attacked at the same time, and people who got too close to them died instantly. Many people stopped chasing them, some others even retreated from them.
The outsiders realized that they couldn't fight against Lin Feng and his allies. They were too strong, especially Lin Feng. Lin Feng even killed some people who had turned around and had started running away!
The members of Jalacandra Fairyland took deep breaths. The only things Lin Feng was saying were die, kill, destroy! However, their people survived thanks to him. He was smart and had many ways to deal with the outsiders. In case of danger, he made move them back, and when there were opportunities, they attacked. They knew no matter which army won or lost, it would be difficult to defeat them with Lin Feng there!
The outsiders were furious. Fighting against Lin Feng was extremely frustrating. When they approached, he moved back, and when they retreated, he chased them. They knew that Lin Feng and his band were too strong. The terrifyingly strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland were all obeying Lin Feng's orders precisely!
At their level, if an individual wanted to destroy an army, it was extremely complicated. To do that, a cultivator likely needed a method to make everybody submit before him. Ji Chang had incredible powers, being the first student of Champion University and the leader of a big army of strong cultivators.
Even though nobody had made Lin Feng the leader of his group, things had happened naturally. People trusted him and found him strong enough for the role.
Very quickly, more strong cultivators attacked Lin Feng and the others again. The attackers fell down into the Yellow Springs one after another, dead.
However, Lin Feng could only influence the battle a little bit. They couldn't make their side win. The Hell side had already suffered too many losses, and couldn't get the advantage back. They couldn't reform a powerful army again.
The battle seemed to be lost already. Lin Feng had no interest in wasting his energy trying to win anymore. He could only stand in the air and watch the battle.
What a dangerous fight!
Ji Chang's path must be the Path of Destruction. With the power of his mind, he can probably destroy people easily. He can probably oppress my physical body as well. He can probably kill weak people just by glancing at them. If he became stronger, he'd have the power of his entire army too…, thought Lin Feng while watching Ji Chang fight against Yang Mian.
Nobody could prevent those two people from fighting, they were both far too strong. Yang Mian could prevent people from modifying their strength as they wished. It was a powerful ability.
Of course, neither of them had very high levels on the Path of the Dao, only basics.
"Yang Mian is one of the descendants of the Ten Yama Courts' kings. He's very strong, and even stronger than many people in Hell. Ji Chang is terrifying, he isn't weaker than Yang Mian," observed a strong cultivator of Jalacandra Fairyland.
Lin Feng knew that Ji Chang was the first student of Champion University, and he also knew that he had the potential to become the Champion of the city. He was currently the second strongest student in the Holy City. Yang Mian could compete with him. Since he could compete with Ji Chang, it meant that he was probably amongst the strongest people of his generation in Hell.
Ji Chang's Dao can destroy the earth and sky. Yang Mian's Dao can turn into explosive vortex imprints. He can also use the strength of the ten thousand things of creation thanks to the Blue Uptala Lotus. How could I be restrained to the life and death pattern on the Path of Life and Death?, thought Lin Feng in a moment of inspiration. He waved his hands, and sharp sword lights appeared, all of them containing black sword lights. However, his sword lights quickly dispersed. Lin Feng sensed something as they did; his Dao was too rudimentary. He couldn't do the same thing as Ji Chang and Yang Mian.
"Life serves to save people. Death serves to kill people. On the path, I need to make my Death Dao intent into my attacks, and in Hell, death is black water." Lin Feng's eyes were glittering and flashing. He made a knifehand strike, and a black river containing death strength appeared.
The black water pulsed with death energy, looking very destructive. When Lin Feng saw that, he smiled. He had understood something! In the future, this would definitely help him when fighting. He wouldn't need to cast deployment spells all the time. Deployment spells were powerful, but they were static and required time.
PMG Chapter 1900
Chapter 1900: Dispersion
He's become stronger!?, thought the members of Jalacandra Fairyland as they watched Lin Feng. They were all amazed by his strength. Lin Feng's comprehension was incredible. He was supposed to be a medium-level emperor, but he was way too strong for that!
"Lin Feng, it seems Hell can't win this battle anymore," a strong cultivator from Jalacandra Fairyland said to Lin Feng.
"Those people were prepared a long time ago and came here, they were very organized. When we saw them arrive, we hastily formed an army. Who do you think had the best chance to win?" asked Lin Feng.
"The outsiders, of course. In the past, we always had the advantage, though!"
"Of course. Hell can quickly win again. A year's time isn't much. When the time comes, everybody will disperse and we'll be able to create an army in secret. Then, we'll come back and win!" Lin Feng said calmly.
The others nodded agreement. Indeed. That was fine too. This place was here to practice and become stronger in, anyway.
"What should we do?"
"We can't live together on the same battlefield. We have to make everybody disperse for real," Lin Feng said. Then, he pointed at a small group and said, "Let's go. Let's destroy that group. We'll also become stronger, and it'll be helpful for everybody else on our side."
Lin Feng was thinking of solutions which were good for him. During the coming year, he'd be able to fight and go to the other side to head back to the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He couldn't stay in Hell his entire life. He had also made an agreement with the Moon Group. Initially, they had three years, and now, less than two years were left. He had to get back to the Continent of the Nine Clouds during the coming year!
—
Lin Feng and the strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland gathered together and destroyed some small bands.
"Condense death strength!" shouted Lin Feng. His pattern appeared again, and they condensed death strength which moved towards the pattern. Some enemies attacked Lin Feng and the others at the same time.
Lin Feng waved his hands, life and death lights appeared and turned into a thread of death Qi. He waved his hands again, and black water washed out towards his opponents.
The black water and the death Qi surged towards the enemies who retreated quickly. However, Lin Feng waved his hands again and the black water surged crazily, drowning some people within. When the water disappeared, those people fell, dying.
The strong cultivators from Jalacandra Fairyland chased them and killed them before picking up their loot.
The outsiders pulled long faces. What a powerful black water! Lin Feng's attacks were extremely powerful with the help of his friends from Jalacandra Fairyland.
"Die!" said Lin Feng. Death strength turned into death swords and pierced through the air.
The strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland felt even better. Lin Feng's Dao power was becoming better and better. They could continue lending death strength to Lin Feng, and nobody would be able to resist them. Lin Feng's achievements on the Path of Life and Death were incredible!
—
The battle continued. It was constant and cruel, and corpses kept falling into the Yellow Springs.
Finally, the two armies resolved into a gigantic line. It was getting more and more difficult to find people fighting. They had truly dispersed, and the battle had lost all sense of organization. Lin Feng killed a strong cultivator with death strength and looked at the strong cultivators of Jalacandra Fairyland. "We should move!"
"Where are we going?"
"I need to practice for some time, and then I'll come back and continue fighting. In one year, we can form another army. You can also do what you wish. If you have other plans, it doesn't matter. But the best thing would be not to disperse. After all, we have to stay safe," said Lin Feng.
Everybody nodded., "We already did all we could. The battle is already broken up, and we can't do much more. At the same time, we should also inform other people. We need a bigger army, and then we can come back and kill them," one of the other cultivators spoke up.
"Alright. I'm sure other people think the same as you. It's better to be prepared, just in case," said Lin Feng. Their group started leaving the Milky Way battlefield. They had obtained many treasures and become stronger. They had to think about their own destiny too, though. This battle was too dangerous.
Lin Feng and the others noticed some battles here and there, but they didn't get involved, they didn't want to risk their lives. Sometimes, they bumped into some weak people and just killed them. When they left the Milky Way battlefield, they noticed some people who had fought with them against the outsiders. They didn't fight against one another anymore, they just glanced at one another. On Hell's side, the losses were too severe.
Everybody in the Celestial Country started hearing about the great war. Many strong cultivators were terrified and tried to hide. At the same time, others gathered into small groups.
The strong cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds continued slaughtering people. A powerful strength pressured the strong cultivators from Hell. Everybody in the Celestial Country was terrified.
At that moment, Lin Feng and the others arrived in one of the hidden territories of Jalacandra Fairyland. There was nobody inside anymore. Lin Feng sat down cross-legged and started inspecting the items he had obtained in the Celestial Country.
He had killed many strong cultivators and had obtained many things, obviously.
Lin Feng spent one day sorting out everything. He was amazed at his spoils. Emperors were real heroes. They all had incredible treasures, Ancient scriptures, techniques, and talismans.
At that moment, Lin Feng recalled his godly awareness after having inspected a talisman. He was stunned.
Among the people from the Ancient Demon Clan, there was a technique used to make the body stronger. There was also a real demon pond which could cleanse demon cultivators' bodies in an incredible way. They were incredibly powerful.
In the talismans, there were legends and teachings from their ancestors. Maybe the Ancient Demon Clan had the Demogorgon Seriatim Symphony!
Lin Feng inspected everything and continued cultivating. He would have to reach the other side of the Milky Way battlefield someday. He had to be extremely strong at that time, but now he was still too weak.
——
In the outside world, the war was terrifying as it continued. The members of the Continent of the Nine Clouds' army were extremely strong, but everybody in Hell had already gathered. There was blood everywhere in the Celestial Country. All the strong cultivators from Hell couldn't wait for the year to be over. New people from Hell would arrive and avenge them!
——
Lin Feng left the mysterious place of Jalacandra Fairyland and rose up in the air. There were corpses everywhere. He sighed, thinking of the great war that had happened.
During this time, Lin Feng had already been cleansed a second time by waves of DevMara Kalpa strength. He also learned to control Life and Death Dao strength much better. He could carry out powerful life and death Dao attacks more easily now.
I'll head back to Hell, I wonder whether Officer Shichuan is still there or not. If he's there, he'll help me inform Officer Uptala and then I'll come back to the Celestial Country!, thought Lin Feng. Then, his silhouette flickered and he headed for the edge of the Celestial Country.
"Someone from Hell!" In the distance, some people noticed that Lin Feng had no imprint in his third eye. One of them waved his hands and red blood appeared. Lin Feng's blood started boiling, and he threw himself at those people.
"Die!" said Lin Feng, releasing empty sword energies. The outsider's faces changed drastically. Lin Feng just grunted coldly. Black death energies suddenly surrounded the outsiders as Lin Feng continued moving forwards. He had also put fire into his attack now! The flames immediately burned them alive, and their charred corpses fell down. Lin Feng continued on!
PMG Chapter 1901
Chapter 1901: The Secret Is Out!
As Lin Feng reached the periphery of the Celestial Country, Lin Feng realized that the battle had already reached every corner of this realm. He still saw some people with imprints in their third eye, which meant they came from the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
In the distance, a new silhouette appeared. Lin Feng found that he had arrived at the very edge of the Celestial Country. The strong cultivators of Hell had gathered near the boundary. Random groups from the Continent of the Nine Clouds couldn't attack so many people gathered together.
"Lin Feng." At that moment, a strong cultivator from Jalacandra Fairyland flashed forwards and landed in front of Lin Feng. He said, "You came even later than us!"
"I was meditating in seclusion in our territory. Nobody disturbed me. How's the situation?" Lin Feng asked.
"Not sure. There are battles everywhere in the Celestial Country. It's been a tragedy for Hell. But soon one year will have passed, and we'll have the opportunity to get our revenge. The outsiders are about to gather together, I guess to fight against us."
"I see. The next year won't be calm, either. Another terrifying battle will happen!" agreed Lin Feng.
The other man laughed. "Not only next year, the years after it as well. Such terrifying wars can't be that short."
"You're right!" Lin Feng nodded. As he did, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Golden threads flowed into existence, dazzling to the eyes.
The golden lights started dispersing as everyone watched. A meteor fell from the sky. A year had passed. The passages of the Celestial Country were going to open once again!
"Everybody, let's go out at the same time, then let's tell our clans and so on, and come back with the most heroic and talented cultivators of Hell within three days. Then, we'll need to conquer the Celestial Country again!" cheered someone.
Everybody nodded, calling out in return. Some people flew forwards as quickly as they could.
—
In Hell at the entrance, dazzling golden lights had appeared as well. There was a big crowd there waiting, and finally, the passage was open again!
However, at the same time, people frowned. They were surprised. So many people, how come so many people were coming out at the same time?
"What's going on?" The people in the crowd didn't understand. So many people coming out together at the same time was very unusual…
As an incredible number of people came out, the crowd heard a voice calling out, "In the Celestial Country, there is a great war against the cultivators from the other side of the Milky Way battlefield. I hope that everybody can come to help conquer the country again!"
"A great war over the Milky Way battlefield?" The crowd was shocked. Many of them naturally didn't understand what it meant, and asked their teachers. Many people's expressions changed drastically and their conversations soon reached a healthy buzz.
Some of the strong cultivators who had just left the Celestial Country stayed, while some others immediately left to go and inform their clans.
"Everybody, I'm sure many ministers are among you in the crowd. Please go and inform the ten cities of Hell about that, tell them to make many strong cultivators come here to form an army. We don't have much time. We must act as soon as possible!" someone else declared extremely loudly.
The passage between Hell and the Celestial Country was only open for three days. They had to find extremely strong cultivators and get them to the Celestial Country's entrance within a very short length of time!
Lin Feng rose up into the air and gazed into the distance. He saw a silhouette come up to him and smiles. It was Vice Minister Shichuan!
Lin Feng floated over to him and smiled, "Minister Shichuan, have you been guarding the area the whole time?"
"I haven't been here for such a long time. Lin Feng, come, we're going back to the Great Imperial Song City," said Minister Shichuan, smiling at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was startled. Had Vice Minister Shichuan been waiting for him in particular? Back then, many people had gone to the Celestial Country along with him. Why wasn't Vice Minister Shichuan waiting for them?
"Minister?" asked Lin Feng. He remained motionless.
Vice Vice Minister Shichuan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Minister Shichuan, I hope you can tell Minister Uptala that I want to stay here and continue practicing in the Celestial Country. I might never come back to the Great Imperial Song City," Lin Feng said to Minister Shichuan. He wanted to go back to the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Even if it didn't happen within a year, he would wait and become stronger in the Celestial Country. He would try his luck every year.
"You're not coming back?" asked Vice Minister Shichuan, surprised. But then he smiled, "Lin Feng, why would you stay there? You will have many opportunities to go back there."
Vice Vice Minister Shichuan put his hand on Lin Feng's shoulder, and Lin Feng's expression changed. He had told Vice Vice Minister Shichuan that he wasn't going back. He understood something wrong was going on.
"Minister, what's that supposed to mean?" Lin Feng asked. Vice Minister Shichuan released some strength which started flowing into Lin Feng's body. He was a great emperor, he could kill someone like Lin Feng in the blink of an eye with the power of his mind. However, Lin Feng had never thought Vice Minister Shichuan would ever mean him harm.
"Lin Feng, come back with me to the Great Imperial Song City. Minister Uptala wants to see you," Vice Vice Minister Shichuan gravely.
Lin Feng pulled a long face and said, "Minister, why can't you tell me the reason?"
"When we arrive in the Great Imperial Song City, you'll know. I didn't want things to happen this way either," said Vice Minister Shichuan. Without another word, he dragged Lin Feng with him and left the area.
Lin Feng's face turned deathly pale. What was going on? Would he be able to go back to the Celestial Country? Would he have to wait for a year? If he missed the next opening, he wouldn't be able to reach the continent for two years!
He'd miss the Moon Group with whom he had agreed to meet within three years!
Lin Feng saw Minister Shichuan's solemn and respectful expression. What had happened? Minister Uptala had asked Shichuan to come and pick him up personally, so he understood that it was about something serious.
Lin Feng thought of something… it probably had something to do with Wang Zhuo's death! The secret was out, maybe Minister Uptala was asking Lin Feng to explain his crime!
"Minister Shichuan, I respect Minister Uptala. I hope you can tell me what this is about. Otherwise, I won't go back to the Great Imperial Song City with you," Lin Feng said calmly. Vice Minister Shichuan's grave face looked both perturbed and pensive.
Vice Minister Shichuan didn't realize that Lin Feng had already thought of a plan. If Vice Minister Shichuan kept forcing him to go back, then Lin Feng would risk his life and imprison him in his small world.
"Lin Feng, do you remember Jian Mang?" asked Minister Shichuan.
Lin Feng frowned and nodded. Of course he remembered Jian Mang, the extremely strong blind swordsman.
"Initially, Jian Mang also wanted to go to the Celestial Country. However, he didn't leave the Great Imperial Song City before he was kidnapped by someone," explained Minister Shichuan. Lin Feng didn't look surprised, it matched what he thought was going on.
"Wang Xiao is as strong as Minister Uptala, and he's one of the descendants of Great Emperor Song. Of course, he has another position, he's Wang Zhuo's father." Lin Feng had already understood. Back then, he had noticed that some people were spying on him in the city. Vice Minister Shichuan had taken him to the Celestial Country, so it was Jian Mang that was kidnapped.
"Jian Mang and you aren't really close friends. He knew why Wang Xiao captured him. Besides, Wang Xiao also knows a technique to read people's memories. Therefore, Jian Mang didn't wait for that and told him how you had killed Wang Zhuo back then. Otherwise, Wang Xiao would have killed him. Now he says he will release him only if he gets you," said Minister Shichuan.
"Minister Uptala doesn't want to see me just because Jian Mang is in danger, right?" Lin Feng asked, feeling there was more to it.
"Of course not, Minister Uptala really likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent me to pick you up," said Vice Minister Shichuan, sighing. "The kings of the Ten Yama Courts have many Ministers, and there are tensions between some of them. The relationships between Great Emperor Song and his descendants are complex. You probably can imagine what I mean. You're a guest in the city, and there are tensions between Wang Xiao and Uptala. Therefore, Wang Xiao is using you to get Minister Uptala involved."
"Minister Uptala can leave the Great Imperial Song City," Lin Feng pointed out.
"Indeed, Minister Uptala can leave the city. Wang Xiao knows that perfectly well. Therefore, when Minister Uptala was away, he also captured Qing Qing! They knew that you had gone to the Celestial Country, but they didn't come to capture you themselves because they knew that if you saw them you might just go back to the Celestial Country and hide there. And if Minister Uptala and I attacked them, we'd certainly lose," explained Shichuan slowly.
Lin Feng remained silent for a few seconds. Minister Uptala could offend Wang Xiao and Wang Zhen because he was a Minister. However, Lin Feng had killed a descendant of Great Emperor Song, which was completely different!
PMG Chapter 1902
Chapter 1902: The Exchange
In Hell, there were ten main cities and Ten Yama Courts. Yama City was controlled by King Yama. Just like Great Emperor Song, very people had ever seen him, including his descendants.
However, there were some exceptions. Two people had just arrived in Yama City. These people were both extremely strong and had reached the top of the Hell Huang Qi layer. In comparison with King Yama, they weren't strong, but they could still see King Yama. This young man and woman were extremely famous in Hell, especially that young man.
Yama Hua was a descendant of King Yama. She was a princess in Yama City, a high-level Hell emperor and understood Dao strength. She was monstrously strong. In Yama City, everybody knew about her, and many young men wanted to marry her. However, she didn't get married to a young man from Yama City, but to someone from another clan.
Many young men from Yama City were furious, but nobody dared say anything because she had gotten married to a member of the Ancient Demon Clan… Juzi!
The Ancient Demon Clan was legendary, and had existed for generations. Juzi was the strongest cultivator of his generation. But that wasn't sufficient reason to explain why King Yama received her. Juzi had another position, he was a member of the mysterious Hell Shrine. He had become a disciple of the Hell Shrine and had benefited a lot from it.
—
At that moment, in the main hall of a palace, King Yama was seated upright and looking at Yama Hua's big tummy. He smiled and said, "Ordinary woman are pregnant for ten months, but your pregnancy has lasted for three years. The baby will probably become an incredible cultivator!"
Everyone heard King Yama, and they didn't think he was exaggerating. They already knew Juzi was the father, and he was an incredible cultivator. The crowd could already imagine how strong Yama Hua's baby would become!
"I really don't deserve so much praise, Master!" replied Juzi. He was wearing a black robe and his eyes were completely black.
"Juzi, I just learned that the Continent of the Nine Clouds had invaded the Celestial Country. We've lost the first battle already. It's an opportunity for you!" said King Yama calmly. He looked like an ordinary old man.
Juzi looked at Yama Hua with love in his eyes and smiled. "Our baby will be born soon. She needs me at her side. I won't leave Little Hua before our baby is three years old, especially for a full year."
Juzi sounded calm and serene, but also firm.
"What a romantic guy!" King Yama smiled. "I'm happy for you. When the baby is born, come and visit as often as you want."
"We will!" Juzi nodded. However, at that moment, he frowned. Yama Hua looked at him, he looked stupefied, and she asked, "Juzi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Juzi said, smiling broadly. "The Ancient Demon Clan just informed me that all the cultivators of the Ancient Demon Clan who were in on the Milky Way battlefield have been killed. They're also asking me whether I can go to the Celestial Country or not."
"So what will you tell them?" asked Yama Hua in a low voice.
"I don't need to accept. I know they won't dispute me," Juzi said indifferently. He had a very high status in the Ancient Demon Clan.
In the Great Imperial Song City, in Uptala's ice world, Minister Uptala was standing at the top of an iceberg. His skin was as white as ice. Some people were in front of him, all wearing armor… troops of Uptala!
"Everybody, I might be forced to leave Uptala Hell, in which case I wouldn't be your Minister anymore. The Great Imperial Song City will send another Minister to take care of Uptala's zone. I hope you will take care of yourselves if that happens!" said Minister Uptala calmly. Since Qing Qing had been kidnapped, and Wang Xiao and the others had threatened him, he had no reason to stay on as a Minister anymore. Leaving was a logical consequence.
"Minister, you've been ruling over Uptala Hell for so many years, we know that Wang Xiao is threatening you because of what happened with Lin Feng! However, if you leave, we are willing to leave with you! We can't let you down!"
"Indeed, Minister. We want to stay with you!" said many people.
Minister Uptala looked gravely solemn as he said, "Everybody, it's not as simple as you think. If you want to follow me, you'll just give Wang Xiao and the others a reason to say that Uptala Hell's peoples are traitors, and they'll destroy you all! I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I'm not staying in the Great Imperial Song City then!" many people sighed.
When Minister Uptala saw their expressions, he said, "If you don't want to stay here, then wait for Vice Minister Shichuan to come back and leave with him. Go to another city. I'm sure the Great Imperial Song City won't harm those who want to stay."
Minister Uptala then left and went back to his Ministry, where he closed the door and waited patiently.
—
Someone finally arrived near Minister Uptala's office, and not someone he wished to see. It was Wang Zhen. He opened the door rudely and saw Minister Uptala seated cross-legged in a pond. He sneered, "Minister, did you capture him or not?"
"Maybe that Lin Feng didn't want to come back to Hell and stayed in the Celestial Country," snorted Minister Uptala after opening his eyes.
"Minister, no matter how long Lin Feng stays in the Celestial Country, he will come back someday. And I've heard that Vice Minister Shichuan has already captured Lin Feng," Wang Zhen smiled darkly.
Minister Uptala looked surprised, but he had already expected that Lin Feng would come out. He wasn't reassured since he had sent Vice Minister Shichuan alone to pick up Lin Feng.
"If I had news from Shichuan, I would tell you," said Minister Uptala calmly.
Wang Zhen sneered again, "I hope you're not plotting anything dodgy. If you betray Great Emperor Song, Qing Qing will be considered a traitor, too!"
Wang Zhen turned around and left, slamming the door behind him. Minister Uptala's eyes were glittering daggers. He looked after Wang Zhen with murder in his eyes.
—
Three days later, Minister Uptala brought some people outside of the city. They arrived in a boundless mountain range with very few inhabitants. After a short time, Shichuan and Lin Feng also arrived.
Lin Feng calmly looked at Minister Uptala and greeted him softly, "Minister."
It was impossible to understand what Minister Uptala thought when he saw Lin Feng. He looked at Shichuan and said, "Shichuan, bring all of those people who wish to go to Yama City. Find Minister Yugang there, he will help you."
"Minister, I want to stay here." said Shichuan. He was stunned at the command.
"Go. They're here already," said Minister Uptala, waving his hands. In the distance, a terrifying army appeared, led by Wang Xiao. He was holding onto a chained Qing Qing.
"Minister Uptala, you're ordering the Uptala Army to leave? Doesn't that prove that you're a traitor?" shouted Wang Xiao furiously, his strength rising in challenge to the Minister.
"After I hand Lin Feng over to you, I will take Qing Qing away with me out of the city. If they don't want to stay, it's their problem. I won't force them to leave or to stay, but I still have to guarantee their safety. Besides, they have nothing to do with me. If you attack them, it will prove you are traitors!" Minister Uptala replied scornfully.
"I don't care about them, they can leave or stay!" sneered Wang Xiao icily. Then he looked at Lin Feng. That man had killed his son!
"Minister, we'll be waiting for you!" Vice Minister Shichuan knew that he couldn't afford wasting time, so he took Uptala's army away. Wang Xiao didn't mind. He wanted Lin Feng! If Minister Uptala did anything dodgy, he'd kill them all!
"They're gone! Give us Lin Feng, now!" demanded Wang Xiao icily. He wanted to show Lin Feng how cruel Hell truly was!
"Only Lin Feng is left. Give me my daughter Qing Qing, Wang Xiao!"
"We can exchange at the same time!" Wang Xiao agreed slowly.
Minister Uptala nodded and looked at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I, Uptala, am very sorry."
"Seems like I'm doomed," Lin Feng sighed as he walked forwards.
Wang Xiao smiled coldly. He was surprised, he hadn't thought this would be so easy.
"Go!" said Wang Xiao, and freed Qing Qing, before releasing a terrifying strength which surrounded Lin Feng like a web.

Chapter 1903: Difficult To Escape
Lin Feng looked at Wang Xiao icily. Wang Xiao smiled coldly and looked at Minister Uptala. "I wouldn't have thought that things would happen this easily. If you want to stay, you can go back to your headquarters, we are not cruel people."
Inside, Wang Xiao was annoyed. He had thought that Minister Uptala would cause troubles, and that way he would have been free to kill him. His Wang Zhuo was dead! He hated Minister Uptala just for that. If Minister Uptala had paid attention, Wang Zhuo wouldn't have died! In any case, he had just captured Lin Feng, things were far from over.
"Why would I go back there? I'm off. See you," said Minister Uptala calmly. Then, he departed as quickly as he could.
"Go?" Wang Xiao looked at Lin Feng evilly and sneered icily, "I will show you how cruel Hell can be!"
Then, he waved his hands and everybody else left. However, after a short time, Wang Xiao's expression changed drastically and he shouted extremely loudly, "Stop!"
Everybody stopped. Wang Xiao looked at Lin Feng icily. He had just obtained some pieces of information. Apparently, Vice Minister Shichuan and the people he had taken away had divided into two groups. Qing Qing and a young man were leaving together, and that young man looked like Lin Feng!
Wang Xiao released a terrifying energy which converged on Lin Feng's brain… but suddenly, Lin Feng disappeared right in front of him! Wang Xiao's expression changed drastically. The others were dumbfounded.
"How's that possible?" asked Wang Zhen. Cloning? How could Lin Feng's clone look so real, though? He wasn't nearly strong enough!
"Minister Uptala, I will teach you what pain is!" shouted Wang Xiao furiously. Luckily, he had taken his own precautions!
—
Lin Feng and Vice Minister Shichuan were heading in different directions. Lin Feng had come back with Shichuan. When they saw him, it meant it was his clone already. Actually, at that moment, Lin Feng and Qing Qing were on a boat and were flying quite low to be discreet. Vice Minister Shichuan and the others were trying to draw people's attention away.
"Qing Qing, I'm sorry for the troubles I caused to you and your father. I hope they didn't do anything bad to you?" Lin Feng said to Qing Qing.
Qing Qing looked at Lin Feng and smiled gently, then shook her head, "They wouldn't have dared harm me before capturing you. They just prevented me from traveling."
"If you're safe and sound then it's good. I hope we still have time." Lin Feng replied, staring at her beautiful white skin. At that moment, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed. "How fast! They found us!"
Qing Qing's eyes flashed with fear. However, Lin Feng still looked calm. He said, "Qing Qing, keep calm. They won't find us."
Qing Qing nodded but at that moment, death strength flew past them, and her face turned grey.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng frowned. Why was Qing Qing turning grey?!
"Life!" Lin Feng put his hands on Qing Qing, and the death strength turned into life strength. However, Lin Feng progressively realized that there wasn't only death Qi involved. Qing Qing's beautiful face was also distorting!
Lin Feng's heart started pounding. He understood what was going on, Qing Qing was being possessed by someone who had a strange skill!
"Uptala, bring him back or she'll die!" Qing Qing's lips said icily. Lin Feng was terrified.
Qing Qing's face then became white again and she whispered, "Lin Feng, let's keep going."
At that moment, Lin Feng stopped the boat. There was a destructive strength in Qing Qing's body and with what she had just said, Lin Feng wasn't reassured at all.
"Bastard!" Lin Feng said icily. Those people were from the same city as Qing Qing, and they dared use such spells on her!
Someone shouted out. It was Minister Uptala, who had established a connection with his daughter to find her easily.
"Qing Qing!" Minister Uptala realized that Qing Qing was acting strangely and his face turned deathly pale.
"Dad, I'm alright. Let's continue!" Qing Qing smiled.
Lin Feng looked glum and said, "Minister, go back with her. She's been cursed!"
"Lin Feng!" said Qing Qing to Lin Feng, she shook her head and said, "Dad, they cast a spell on me, which means that they fully intended to kill me. If we go back, they'll kill me as well."
Minister Uptala was devastated when he saw Qing Qing's smile. How could he let his daughter die?
"Minister, I can go back with you if it's my destiny," Lin Feng said. He was furious and releasing death Qi.
Minister Uptala looked at Lin Feng guiltily and said, "Lin Feng, you're right. We must accept our fate. I can guarantee you something: even if we're doomed, you will die after me."
"Minister!" Lin Feng was stunned. The Minister was a Celestial Emperor, and surprisingly he was ready to die!
"I wouldn't have thought that the Great Imperial Song City would be such a place. Qing Qing, I'm sorry, my daughter," said Minister Uptala caressing her face in remorse.
Qing Qing smiled, "Dad, I'm worthless. I don't want you to give up."
"Life!" Lin Feng said. At the same time, Minister Uptala stretched out his hands and embraced Qing Qing.
"Little girl, we have to try. How could I let you die?" said Minister Uptala gently. He would never let his daughter die for him!
"Let's go!" said Minister Uptala, waving his hands. The three of them turned around. Wang Xiao and the others were naturally going to wait back there. Wang Xiao smiled coldly when he saw that Uptala was coming back.
"Minister Uptala is a traitor. He's protecting the one who killed my son! Very good!" said Wang Xiao icily.
Minister Uptala was furious and said, "Wang Xiao, I've already brought Lin Feng back. You better release my daughter, she has nothing to do with that."
"First, show me that this is the real Lin Feng. Jian Mang, go!" ordered Wang Xiao icily. A blind man came out of the crowd.
"Checking whether I'm real or not?" Lin Feng suddenly rose up into the air. His eyes were all black and contained life and death strength.
"Die!" shouted Lin Feng explosively. Whistling sounds cut the air, and Jian Mang frowned. A death sword was shooting towards him!
Dazzling lights streaked across the sky and collided with Lin Feng's invisible sword. Lin Feng jumped and released destructive strength, which made space itself bend violently.
"Dad, Lin Feng is very strong and talented!" Qing Qing told Minister Uptala. She was stunned to see that Lin Feng controlled Dao strength!
Jian Mang released his own sword energies. They cut through the black water in the air in straight waves. He pierced through the black water and threw himself at Lin Feng.
Light cosmic energy, his sword moves as fast as light! He's so fast!, Lin Feng thought.
Jian Mang landed in front of Lin Feng and his sword energies shot out at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng released Kalpa sword energies, and didn't move back a single inch. He used his Nihility Sword and attacked Jian Mang.
A blinding light stabbed in the direction of Lin Feng's eyes. Jian Mang suddenly opened his eyes, and brilliant lights emerged from them. Lin Feng couldn't open his eyes in the face of such a powerful burst of light!
"Lacerate!" shouted Jian Mang furiously. The lights thrust at Lin Feng's eyes.
"They're both insane. Jian Mang's eyes…!" Those watching were stupefied and shaken. Those two people were incredibly strong.
"Die!" shouted Wang Zhen, and he jumped forwards, releasing death Qi. Oppressive energies surrounded Lin Feng and Jian Mang.
"Freeze!" shouted Minister Uptala. In a flash, the atmosphere around them started freezing, including Lin Feng and Jian Mang's bodies. Minister Uptala stretched out his hands and took Jian Mang and Lin Feng out of the ice.
"You guys are not enemies and you are both extremely strong. You don't need to fight to death. Jian Mang, you probably understand that as well," said Minister Uptala. Jian Mang's eyes returned to normal again, losing the light within. They were just now just empty white, the sign of his blindness.
