Daoist Priest Daoyi was arrogant and domineering.
Not only did he want to kill Li Chengfeng, but he also wanted to nurture an inner demon in his heart, effectively crippling him and cutting his journey short in the cultivation world.
To do that, he wanted to break Li Chengfeng’s persistence. By that time, whether or not Li Chengfeng’s Dao heart would be damaged would depend on whether he was someone who had a steadfast and stable heart with immovable willpower.
The battle happened very fast. A huge mountain appeared with the flip of a palm, making the scene look extremely vast and majestic.
Especially when two domains appeared—the Sea of Mountains Domain versus the Heaven Burning Domain—the scene that unfolded was mind-numbing.
But in the end, Li Chengfeng still came out slightly inferior compared to Daoist Priest Daoyi.
The King of Rogue Cultivators was ultimately incomparable to a disciple from a prestigious orthodox sect.
Li Chengfeng knew that he had lost in terms of foundation.
The Sea of Mountains Domain might not necessarily lose to the Heaven Burning Domain, but Daoist Priest Daoyi’s domain had once been tempered by a Daoist Sect expert, greatly bolstering its might.
Trapped in place, Li Chengfeng could only silently pray.
Nothing must happen to Emperor De…
Otherwise, the peaceful world would instantly collapse.
The outcome of the battle spread like wildfire.
Many scouts watched from a distance and recorded everything clearly with their magical equipment. They were shocked by the conversation between the two, and they were also shocked by the battle that unfolded afterwards.
Heaven and earth collapsed with a flip of a hand.
When their massive domains spread out, they shocked everyone.
Especially when Li Chengfeng unleashed his Sea of Mountains Domain.
It was extremely terrifying.
The Sea of Mountains suppressed everything, but the domain couldn’t suppress the flames that could burn the heavens itself.
Ultimately, Daoist Priest Daoyi won.
But he didn’t kill Li Chengfeng.
No one expected him to spare Li Chengfeng’s life. Instead of killing the latter, he trapped him inside an array formation. Then, he leisurely rode the same ox forward in the direction of the Imperial Capital.
This time, he picked up his pace.
The green ox traveled day and night, rushing to get to the Imperial Capital.
The news quickly spread.
Emperor De’s trump card—the King of Rogue Cultivators—Li Chengfeng lost.
Not only did he suffer a loss, but he was also trapped in place.
Speaking of Daoist Priest Daoyi, he was now on his way to the Imperial Capital.
He wanted to kill Emperor De.
The world was thrown into an uproar.
Everyone was shocked.
Daoist Priest Daoyi was actually that terrifying?
If even the King of Rogue Cultivators was no match for him, then who could defeat him?
Would Emperor De really die just like this?
The news immediately caused everyone to erupt.
Everyone discussed, argued, and chatted to and fro.
Many of them wore excited looks on their faces.
Everyone was shocked speechless by Daoist Priest Daoyi’s display of might.
Of course, they were also looking forward to seeing if Emperor De had any other trump cards.
The Forbidden City!
Great Council Hall!
Emperor De and Princess Yulin were watching the scene captured by the scouts.
The magical equipment made from the eyeball of the Shadow Spider could capture moving images and store them for a long period of time. As long as the images were not overwritten or damaged, preserving them for eight to ten years wouldn’t be a problem.
The scouts had just arrived with the images of the battle.
Emperor De and Princess Yulin watched in silence.
The two of them expressed their opinions upon hearing the debate between Daoist Priest Daoyi and Li Chengfeng. But when Daoist Priest Daoyi talked about the true reason why he was trying to assassinate Emperor De, the latter’s face turned gloomy.
Princess Yulin’s face also darkened.
“He is simply terrifying! Do you have a way to stop him?”
Emperor De sat on the steps in the Council Hall, not saying a word.
Princess Yulin urged. “We must stop him from coming to the Imperial Capital. If he succeeds, the reputation of our Yuhua God Dynasty will drastically fall and the world will become chaotic with our downfall.”
“Do you think that I do not know that?” Emperor De sighed. “But the most powerful person I have has already failed in his mission. If I send out the others, I will only be sending them to their deaths.”
Over the years, Emperor De worked hard to recruit powerhouses under his banner.
Unfortunately, Human Gods, Martial Sages, and a few of those at the Grotto-Heaven Realm were the only ones that could be tempted by treasures. Upon reaching the Supremacy Realm, ordinary treasures weren’t enough to tempt these experts anymore.
Unless it was an exceptionally rare treasure, it was impossible to recruit them.
Even Emperor De didn’t have a lot of those kinds of treasures in his hands.
Moreover, for some truly powerful powerhouses like the King of Rogue Cultivators, Li Chengfeng, treasures were no longer important for them.
What they cared about was the Dao—the things that could further improve their cultivation bases, not worldly possessions.
Emperor De was able to recruit Li Chengfeng because of what he had done for the common people.
It was in line with the principles that Li Chengfeng had in his heart.
As for other cultivators in the same realm as Li Chengfeng, Emperor De wasn’t able to recruit any of them.
“Do you want me to get the son of the Millennium Sword God to act?”
Princess Yulin asked anxiously.
“You are being desperate. We can’t make such rash decisions. That person was severely injured by Big Grand-Uncle. Even if you want him to take action, it doesn’t matter since he isn’t in the state to do so anyway,” Emperor De replied.
“That’s right, Big Grand-Uncle!” Princess Yulin exclaimed in surprise.
“Big Grand-Uncle is in Jiangnan. He just annihilated the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. There’s no need for us to trouble him about this matter.” Emperor De shook his head and directly rejected Princess Yulin’s suggestion.
He earnestly asked Lin Jiufeng to go down to Jiangnan.
Lin Jiufeng had done so, resolving Jiangnan’s chronic illness.
If he were to encounter trouble now and called his Big Grand-Uncle back, then what kind of person would he be treating his Big Grand-Uncle as?
The babysitter of the Yuhua God Dynasty?
“But this is about your safety…” Princess Yulin said worriedly.
“If this calamity truly befalls unto me, then so be it. There is no need to trouble Big Grand-Uncle. I am the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, not him. If he has to take action every time something happens, then the Yuhua God Dynasty might as well let Big Grand-Uncle be the Emperor instead of me.” Emperor De insisted.
“Brother Emperor, what solution do you have then?” Princess Yulin asked.
.
“If push comes to shove, I will forcefully manifest the Yuhua God Dynasty’s Golden Dragon of Destiny. I’ll hand it over to you and you’ll use it to deal with that Daoist Priest Daoyi.” Emperor De said these words amidst gritted teeth.
“The Golden Dragon of Destiny…” Princess Yulin said in surprise, “that’s too dangerous! If we aren’t careful, the Yuhua God Dynasty can be directly destroyed! If the Golden Dragon of Destiny breaks, the destiny of the Yuhua God Dynasty will also follow it to its demise!”
Manifesting the Golden Dragon of Destiny was equivalent to fighting Daoist Priest Daoyi with everything that they had.
Princess Yulin imagined…
She was holding a sword that was basically the amalgamation of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s destiny. To fight a superior foe with a sword made out of something so important—would she even be able to focus on the fight?
“That’s our last resort. Let’s observe the situation for now.”
Emperor De was also helpless in this matter.
Daoist Priest Daoyi got closer and closer to the Imperial Capital as the siblings observed. The big green ox walked day and night without stopping.
Although it couldn’t walk fast, it constantly walked without any signs of exhaustion.
It was slowly but surely closing the distance between Daoist Priest Daoyi and the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
And during this period of time, Daoist Priest Daoyi’s victory against Li Chengfeng had also spread throughout the world.
Jiangnan!
Once Lin Jiufeng and the white cat were done with their sightseeing, they continued on their way to look for more interesting sights. On the way, the two of them happened to overhear a passing businessman talking about this major news.
They were talking about the battle between Daoist Priest Daoyi and Li Chengfeng.
It was an intense fight, but since Daoist Priest Daoyi was more powerful—he won.
Daoist Priest Daoyi didn’t kill Li Chengfeng and chose to seal him in place instead.
Then, he headed straight for the Imperial Capital.
He wanted to kill Emperor De and supervise the world afterwards.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat followed behind them, listening quietly.
“I didn’t expect that Daoist Priest Daoyi to be so powerful,” Lin Jiufeng lamented.
“Aren’t you worried about Emperor De’s safety at all?” The white cat asked curiously.
This Daoist Priest Daoyi was about to fight his way to the Imperial Capital.
Even so, Lin Jiufeng was still not going to make a move?
“There’s still the monk, isn’t he? Monk Fusan should be able to fulfill what he promised to me.”
Lin Jiufeng replied unhurriedly.
