Chapter 724 - Crisis Resurgence (1/2)

Lord Yuxu walked up to Cangdi Fenglang and stood still.

After a while, he said, “There is a phoenix below. He is the enemy of evil creatures. We are not his match.”

Cangdi Fenglang sneered. “So what? Although the Phoenix can easily destroy evil spirits, he will eventually exhaust himself. One of the Nine Lands’ Pillar of Heaven has already collapsed, and it can easily form Heaven’s Wail now. There is plenty of evil Qi in the void. As long as evil Qi enters the Nine Lands through Heaven’s Wail, we will have a steady stream of helpers, so we can simply kill him after he exhausts his power.”

Cangdi Fenglang really did have a reason for his confidence.

Feng Jingyu soon found that he couldn’t completely destroy these evil creatures, no matter what. A phoenix is ​​the evil creatures’ natural enemy. They can escape from evil creatures, but they can’t destroy all the evil creatures in the world. It would be fine if he was in the wilderness — a single breath of fire would make all the evil spirits within a hundred miles disappear. However, this was Northern Liang City. While killing evil creatures, his power could also evaporate the city on the spot. The gain was not worth the loss.

Feeling restrained everywhere, Feng Jingyu was about to explode.

After a while, Lord Yuxu saw the golden teal light from a sword cutting through the evil Qi. His eyes lit up and said, “That should be Lin Xuanzhi.”

Cangdi Fenglang sneered. “Good.”

Lord Yuxu said, “His moves have changed a lot compared with those ten thousand years ago. Chang Sheng’s sword style has never been fixed. He can do every move with ease.”

Lord Yuxu then saw Yan Tianhen, who was transforming evil Qi into animals and making a mess of the battlefield.

His eyes sank and said, “Fenglang, who do you think is the real Lingyu: me or Yan Tianhen?”

Cangdi Fenglang withdrew his gaze, which was staring at Yan Tianhen flitting in and out of the evil Qi with ease. He turned to Lord Yuxu beside him and said leisurely, “What does it matter whether it’s you or him?”

Lord Yuxu said, “Naturally it matters. If I really am Lingyu, then it doesn’t matter whether he’s Chang Sheng or Chang Sheng’s reincarnation; both of them should be mine. How can I easily give him to others? Chang Sheng must have been deceived and bewitched by that fake; that’s the only reason he would treat the fake that way. I will most certainly snatch Chang Sheng back.”

Cangdi Fenglang smiled. “And what if he’s the real one?”

Lord Yuxu also looked indifferent. “If he’s the real one, then Chang Sheng liking him has nothing to do with me. But I just don’t understand why I always feel like I’m Lingyu, even though my memory is still incomplete.”

Cangdi Fenglang looked at Lord Yuxu in silence for a moment. “It’s possible for there to be two Lingyu’s in the world. Both he and you are the real Lingyu.”

Confused, Lord Yuxu asked, “What does that mean?”

Cangdi Fenglang narrowed his eyes. “It’s just the art of splitting a soul. It’s nothing new.”

Lord Yuxu: “…”

With the participation of Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi, this battle, which originally looked like a one-sided battle, soon reversed its course. The two sides were evenly matched.

He did intend to take revenge on Yan Tianhen, but he didn’t want to fight senselessly. Cangdi Fenglang had always been a lazy person. He had been an evil Qi cultivator from the moment of his birth. The reason why nobody ever noticed was because he never used evil Qi to harm people.

However, the only reason he didn’t harm people was that he was too lazy. For Cangdi Fenglang, causing such a ruckus inside the Dagon Tomb Holy Land had almost consumed all of his enthusiasm.

He originally thought the Dragon Tomb’s seal had been destroyed, so the North Land would lose its defense against evil creatures. Thus, he thought he’d be able to easily conquer the northern border — a desolate, barren place lacking in spiritual Qi so close to the demon world. Unexpectedly, not only did he meet a stupid Phoenix, but even that scummy couple still pursued him relentlessly.

Cangdi Fenglang finally lost the last of his fighting spirit after the battle continued for a day and night.

“Let’s go.” Cangdi Fenglang turned around and flew towards the demon world.

The sky was getting dark, but the evil Qi was getting thinner and thinner. Finally, it dispersed. Yan Tianhen stopped his attack and looked further north. “Dage, Cangdi Fenglang ran away.”

Lin Xuanzhi sheathed his sword. “He’s heading towards the demon world.”

Yan Tianhen clapped his hands, then put Xiuxiu directly into the scabbard. “Since he’s in the demon world, he has nothing to do with us anymore. Let those Demon Venerables worry about him.”

It could be said that evil Qi cultivators were something both humans and demons wanted to kill. Not only could they stir up a mess in the world of mortals, but they could also flourish in the demon world.

Yan Tianhen hoped that Cangdi Fenglang wouldn’t live too peacefully after arriving at the demon world. He’d better stir up a lot of trouble. Only then would Yan Tianhen be able to cooperate with those Demon Venerables. Otherwise, dealing with those ruthless demons was no different than seeking skin from a tiger.

Northern Liang City suffered heavy casualties.

King Zhen immediately sent someone to appease the people and send them spiritual pills and miraculous medicines for healing. Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen met with Feng Jingyu and Yan Zhonghua under an old locust tree in the city.

Among them, Feng Jingyu’s expression was the ugliest. He gnashed his teeth with a dark expression. “I’ve inquired about that goddamned Longyao Xuan. This evil Qi cultivator originally went to the Longyao family’s Dragon Tomb Holy Land. However, he was released by the Longyao clan, and they even drove him to the northern border. Longyao Xuan clearly wants to find trouble for me.”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

The one who did all that seems to be me.

Yan Tianhen coughed softly and said, “The Dragon Emperor doesn’t know you’re in Northern Liang City.”

Feng Jingyu accused, “You’re actually taking his side!”

Yan Tianhen immediately apologized, “The Dragon Emperor really is wretched. He didn’t have the ability to kill Cangdi Fenglang, but just had to drive him north.”

You Ming glanced at Yan Tianhen. “That evil Qi cultivator is called Cangdi Fenglang?”
