BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 - Save Me
Chapter 180: Save Me
Back then, Lin Jiufeng suppressed Demon King Jiao beneath the rain by the Wei River.
The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race were very arrogant back then.
Other than Demon Sage Pingtian, the other six were all planning to make a move against the Yuhua God Dynasty.
But after Lin Jiufeng suppressed Demon King Jiao, they no longer dared to do anything. They hid in the dark and decided to silently recover their strength while waiting for an opportunity for revenge.
Over the past few decades, the Yuhua God Dynasty’s rapid development never faltered.
The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race didn’t dare to cause any trouble at all.
But after hearing Emperor De’s words, Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but doubt.
“When the news that I was critically ill went out, the powerhouses of this world began to make their moves. The Seven Great Sages naturally didn’t want to be left out. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and save Demon King Jiao.” Emperor De explained.
This was the news sent by a scout from the dynasty’s Dark Net.
Emperor De discussed the news with Princess Yulin.
In the end, Emperor De personally came to ask for Lin Jiufeng’s help.
“The remaining six of the Seven Great Sages are going to rescue Demon King Jiao?”
Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He was a little surprised.
Back then, he gave Demon King Jiao a promise. As long as he broke the array formation with his own power, he would naturally be able to come out.
But Lin Jiufeng wanted Demon King Jiao to rely on his own capabilities, not to gather his brothers to break the array formation.
“Yes…”
“Our investigation confirmed that the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, the Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, the Great Sage of the Blowing Wind, the Great Sage of the White Clothed, and the Great Sage of the Dreaming have all made their appearances by the Wei River…”
“They have joined forces with the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, to break the seal and save the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao.” Emperor De reported.
“Is that it?” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.
Emperor De looked at Lin Jiufeng quizzically.
What did Lin Jiufeng mean by “is that it”?
“It’s understandable for them to save Demon King Jiao. There are many powerhouses in the world today, and I’ve suppressed that Demon King Jiao for decades. I can understand his feelings of wanting to be free.” Lin Jiufeng explained.
“If they are only here to save people, then there’s no need to worry about them. Let them save Demon King Jiao. What other matters are there?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“If they are only there to save their brother, then there is no need to worry about them. Let them save Demon King Jiao. What else?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
Emperor De nodded in understanding.
He cleared his throat and reported. “We haven’t discovered any abnormal movements from them yet. It’s just that the Wei River is only 10,000 miles away from the Imperial Capital. To these demon powerhouses, 10,000 miles isn’t that far…”
“They are still a huge threat to the Imperial Capital.”
“It’s fine…”
“Don’t you still have the war machine and even a group of subordinates under your command to protect the Imperial Capital? Monk Fusan is also here. There’s no need to worry about those so-called Seven Great Sages,” Lin Jiufeng said calmly.
“Big Grand-Uncle. I’m not worried about those Seven Great Sages, I’m worried about the other powerhouses that are bound to take advantage of the Seven Great Sages’ threat to take action against our dynasty…”
“I’m most worried about those powerhouses hiding in the dark.”
Emperor De shared his worries with Lin Jiufeng.
“With me around, this world will not fall into chaos!” Lin Jiufeng looked placidly at Emperor De.
His figure exuded boundless confidence.
“With Big Grand-Uncle’s words, there’s no need for me to worry anymore…”
Emperor De was overjoyed.
Lin Jiufeng waved his hand in dismissal. “Your body is still very weak. Your life force has been greatly damaged and you have to recuperate well. Don’t die young like your father. That will be a huge loss for the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
“With Grand-Uncle around, the Yuhua God Dynasty won’t fall into chaos…”
“What happens to me isn’t important as long as Big Grand-Uncle is around.” Emperor De said.
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and replied, “Don’t even think like that…”
“To the Yuhua God Dynasty, I’m just a passerby. I’m a cultivator who wants to pursue the summit of the cultivation world. If there’s a day where I have to enter seclusion for hundreds of years, the Yuhua God Dynasty will still have to protect itself against its enemies.”
“Protecting the dynasty is the responsibility of the Emperor, civil, and military officials.”
“I’ve helped you stabilize the Yuhua God Dynasty on account of your Grandpa and Father Emperor.”
“You have to work hard on your own too…”
“Don’t take my help for granted.”
Lin Jiufeng pointed out a fatal flaw in Emperor De’s mindset.
Emperor De’s expression turned serious. “Actually, I’ve been working hard on what you just said. The Martial Temple is the place where I will nurture the future of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
Emperor De’s expression turned serious.
“I’ve been working hard all this time, Big Grand-Uncle…”
“The martial temples I’ve built shall be the foundation of the Yuhua God Dynasty and its greatest aide to its future survival.”
“You’ve done well.” Lin Jiufeng nodded. “All right, you should go back now and rest.”
“Goodbye, Big Grand-Uncle.” Emperor De got up and said goodbye.
He left obediently.
In the huge Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng was left alone—
—with a cat.
“Meow, are you really going to let that Demon King Jiao go?”
The white cat asked and jumped onto the table.
“Of course…”
“Haven’t you realized that the world’s spiritual energy recovery rate has slowed down yet again over the years?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
The white cat shook its head in confusion. “I don’t think so…”
“I’m already at the Grotto-Heaven Realm and I even have my own domain now.”
“The world’s spiritual energy recovery rate has surely reached its peak, right?”
“No, the recovery rate has become slower compared to 30 years ago when I was still in the Cold Palace.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
Back then, when the world’s spiritual energy recovery rate increased, the upper limit of cultivation also increased to the Martial Sage Realm.
Then to the Human God Realm, Grotto-Heaven Realm, and the Supremacy Realm.
In just a few decades, the upper limit broke through three realms.
But in the 30 years that he spent in seclusion and signing in silently in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, the upper limit only increased by one realm.
The Boundless Realm!
This was what Lin Jiufeng meant when he said that the world’s spiritual recovery rate has slowed down.
Even Lin Jiufeng himself had yet to make a breakthrough to the peak of the Boundless Realm.
It was easy to understand that the world’s spiritual energy recovery rate has indeed slowed down.
“So that is why you want to let that Demon King Jiao go?” The white cat paced back and forth on the table. Her figure looked elegant, her fur was snow-white, and her eyes were as brilliant as the starry sky.
“Demon King Jiao has always wanted to reintroduce the true strength of the monster race to the world. I think I should let him give it a try. As long as he doesn’t create trouble for the Yuhua God Dynasty, I can turn a blind eye to his actions and let him leave.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.
…
Thousands of miles away from the Imperial Capital, there was a healthy and wide river.
Wei River.
In the past, Wei River wasn’t that famous.
Both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River were much more famous than it.
But decades ago, a ferocious flood dragon that could control the clouds and rain was suppressed beneath the Wei River. The sight of the flood dragon itself was magnificent enough, and it was bound to attract tourists that bolstered the Wei River’s reputation.
Those who knew the story behind the flood dragon in Wei River knew that the Yuhua God Dynasty was the one who did all of these to the flood dragon.
Hence, they didn’t dare to approach.
But even those that didn’t know the story behind the flood dragon’s suppression also didn’t dare to approach.
Because in the Wei River, there was an extremely powerful bull demon that easily trampled a Supremacy to death.
Moreover, the Supremacy it defeated was a Supremacy with a domain.
This made everyone stay away from the Wei River.
Whenever merchant ships passed by occasionally, the passengers would always cower in fear.
It was because they could see that in the vast Wei River, a green Heaven Raising Bull would occasionally appear on the surface of the water to absorb huge amounts of spiritual energy from the world.
Fortunately, as long as the merchant ships didn’t deliberately cause trouble, the bull demon didn’t bother them.
But the Wei River has become turbulent recently.
With the appearance of—Demon King Jiao, Demon King Dapeng, Demon King Gui, Demon King Yuan, Bai Zilong, Yun Shanhai—and Demon King Pingtian.
The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race were finally reunited.
But in contrast to the freedom that the other six enjoyed, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao couldn’t move at all.
“Hurry up and pull these swords out so I can be free!” Demon King Jiao barked impatiently.
