Chapter 264 The Emperor Takes Action
Chapter 264 The Emperor Takes Action
Lin Zhao let out a long sigh, used the last bit of his spiritual energy to spread his Phoenix Wings and landed at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. He then noticed the people from the Phoenix Medicine Sect rushing over: "Junior Sister Lin?"
Song Tingning, who still looked haggard, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Zhao land safely. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Junior sister, the monsters in this cave have not been cleared out yet. I'll have someone take you to a safe place to rest."
Lin Zhao waved his hand and said, "I'll just take a break. There are demons at the Spiritualization Stage in that cave, so be careful, brothers and elders."
Song Tingning looked at her for a while, until someone called him over there, Song Tingning said: "Then be careful, Junior Sister."
Lin Zhao waited until Song Tingning and the elders of the Phoenix Medicine Sect came in, and then she practiced the Phoenix Pulse Technique to repair the tendons in her body that were on the verge of breaking. With the help of Nirvana, the injuries in her body recovered at an astonishing speed.
The leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect came out, and with his cultivation level close to the late stage of the tribulation, he firmly suppressed the two demons in the middle stage of the tribulation.
Because of the appearance of the leader, the situation took a big turn. The four demons who were originally sure of victory became fat lambs surrounded by wolves.
The leading demon gritted his teeth and took a few moves from the leader, then a golden light that fell from above his head completely locked him up.
Seeing this scene, the fighting spirit of the two fusion-stage masters brought by Chi Ling suddenly rose. Originally, the two could only fight on equal terms with the two fusion-stage masters of the Demon Clan, but now that their morale was boosted, they managed to defeat the Demon Clan's fusion-stage masters.
Seeing that the situation was getting bad, the remaining demons who were undergoing tribulation withdrew the blockade formation they had set up earlier and prepared to escape.
He didn't even remind the fusion stage demon who was in a tough fight over there, and he was about to escape by tearing open a space crack.
There are only four of them from the demon clan this time. If more people come, the disturbance caused in the northwest continent will attract the attention of the top leaders of the Zuhuang Continent.
Now two of them have been held back. If he doesn't run away and captures one, his entire army will be wiped out. He is not that stupid.
The space crack took shape in an instant, and he was about to disappear into it with a move, but in the astonished sight of the demons, a hand of Su Bai stretched out from the space crack he tore open and pinched him up.
The hand was pale and weak, obviously a woman's hand. It looked like it had no strength at all, but it was able to hold a demon in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
"How can the land of Zuhuang allow the demons to run rampant?"
This sound...
The demon in the Tribulation Crossing Stage went limp all over and no longer had the strength to resist.
The head of the Phoenix Medicine Sect also recognized who had made the move and bowed to the hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Only then did Lin Zhao realize that the hand that helped him break through the space rift was actually Emperor Zuhuang.
It seems that Prince Ling's loss of contact made the empress realize that something was wrong, and she directly tore open the rift to provide remote support.
At this time, Lin Zhao's injuries had almost recovered. She took out the Tiantong Mirror, saw the message on it, and released Yun Fei and Chi Ling without much thought.
The atmosphere between the released father and daughter was a little weird at this moment.
Yun Fei looked listless, and Prince Chi Ling, who looked pale next to him, also didn't look very good.
Lin Zhao wisely did not ask what the conflict between the father and daughter was about. She simply explained that the situation was safe now and what the empress had just done.
When Prince Chi Ling heard that Emperor Zuhuang had taken action, he couldn't help but glare at his good-for-nothing daughter for the first time.
Yun Fei knew that she was in the wrong, but it was the first time that her father had been so harsh on her since she was a child. She curled her lips and said, "Who knew that the Second Elder was a lunatic... I just followed him out of curiosity. Besides, I am fine, right?"
Prince Chi Ling was so angry at his daughter that he had nothing to say. After all, he was seriously injured and didn't want to say more to this spoiled girl. He frowned and said, "I don't care about you anymore. You follow Miss Ling'er to gain experience outside. You are not allowed to go home before the imperial election!"
Yun Fei widened her eyes when she heard that.
Lin Zhao was even more devastated than she was. She screamed at Prince Chi Ling who turned around and walked away: "No!"
She would rather be forced to do it by the neck again than have a little girl following her around all the time.
Unfortunately, Prince Chi Ling turned around and left, and she couldn't catch up with the speed of the tribulation. She could only look at Yun Fei with an ugly face beside her, and kept comforting herself, saying that after all, she was a rich woman, so she should just make do with her, there was no way she could get divorced.
Yun Fei pouted towards her father's back, then said to Lin Zhao, "I will follow you from now on."
Lin Zhao slapped her face and thought to herself, I know.
She looked at Yun Fei, who was wearing a pink dress and looked delicate and tender, and said, "Do you know why I didn't let Jin Ya follow me before, but asked you to follow me?"
Yun Fei: “?”
Lin Zhao said: "Little Princess, you are a cultivator in the Heartbeat Stage. You can't be afraid when you see the demons."
Yun Fei bit her lip and said, "But I have never been on the battlefield since I started practicing."
Lin Zhao said, “Then start with the low-level demons. If you don’t dare to fight against the demons in the Heartbeat Stage, fight against the Fusion Stage. If you don’t dare to fight against the Fusion Stage, fight against the Golden Core Stage. If you don’t dare to fight against the Golden Core Stage, fight against the Opening Stage. If you can kill a pair, don’t just kill one. Start first.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Yun Fei into the previous cave.
Yun Fei had been here before and knew the basic layout of the place, but when she saw the scene of the cave in complete chaos, her legs couldn't help but go weak.
Monsters that looked neither human nor demon were gnawing on flesh and blood, and more monsters were running out from deeper in the cave.
The Phoenix Medicine Sect did not dare to send cultivators below the Jindan stage, and almost all the cultivators that could be mobilized were dispatched to fight.
At this moment, everyone was shocked that the Second Elder raised so many monsters.
"That's the Seventh Elder?"
Someone exclaimed as they saw a monster emitting a terrifying aura walking out from the depths of the cave.
"Didn't he go on a mission and disappear?"
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces turned paler as they examined these monsters.
Apart from the prisoners who were labeled traitors by the Second Elder, most of these monsters were former disciples of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.
"Didn't they say they all went to carry out the mission?" someone asked in a crying voice.
When Song Tingning heard this, his face looked very ugly.
At this moment, everyone understood that these disciples and elders were not there to carry out the mission at all. Instead, they were transformed into demons by the second elder and were living a life worse than death in this cave without sunlight.
Although I know that the person in charge in recent years has been possessed by a demon, knowing it is one thing, and truly seeing his influence is another.
Among them, there are nearly half of the disciples and elders of the Phoenix Medicine Sect!
Lin Zhao sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, so he summoned the Heavenly Phoenix King and shouted, “If we don’t kill the demons, more Phoenix Medicine Sect disciples will be killed or injured.”
The loud shout and the shock brought by the appearance of the Sky Phoenix King brought many people back to their senses. There was no big problem with the Tao heart of the cultivators who could cultivate to the Golden Core stage. They quickly stabilized their emotions and started fighting again.
Lin Zhao chopped off the head of a completely possessed monster with a sword, and then took a look at Yun Fei's situation over there.
The little girl stabbed a monster in the enlightenment period to death with a pink sword, screaming as she stabbed.
It was as if the one being stabbed was not the monster, but her.
Lin Zhao sighed with a headache.
She kind of understood why Prince Chi Ling wanted to hand the girl over to her.
