Chapter 536: Perhaps This Is Fate

Hearing Lin Xun’s threat, Goudan scurried over to the frozen throne.

Goudan sniffed the left side of the frozen throne, then the right side.

Goudan searched very seriously for the throne’s switch.

Like a workaholic trying his best to impress his boss, looking as if he wouldn’t rest until he’d earned enough for the boss to buy a new car.

Actually, Goudan had also smelled the scent of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan on this throne.

This should be an exit.

Those members of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan must have come out from here.

Goudan wanted to deceive Lin Xun, for instance, by lying and saying there were no secret passages here.

After all, although he was an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, he still had some basic integrity, okay?

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be like a traitor leading the enemy into the village?

Although Goudan didn’t know what these “enemies” were.

Because he had only heard Lin Xun mention them.

But Goudan was certain.

These so-called enemies were definitely nothing good.

However…

Looking at Lin Xun, Goudan knew he wouldn’t be able to fool him.

Lin Xun’s intuition was extremely sharp.

Since he was so sure there was a door behind this frozen throne, he must have sensed something.

Lin Xun would never give up on finding the entrance just because of a few words from him.

Moreover, Lin Xun having him look for it was just because he didn’t want to waste time.

In reality, as long as Lin Xun was given some time, he could still find the entrance himself.

Goudan even felt that Lin Xun doing this was a bit of a test for him.

Therefore…

Goudan felt that rather than letting Lin Xun spend more time finding the exit…

It would be better for him to find it himself.

In any case, the end result was that Lin Xun would enter the village no matter what.

And if he led Lin Xun in, he might even be able to smooth over some of Lin Xun’s hostility and make up for his past mistakes.

Otherwise, heaven knows how this stinky human would treat him later.

It certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

As for what Lin Xun would do to the exit after finding it…

Goudan didn’t even need to think to know.

But Goudan could only silently apologize to them in his heart.

After all, it was already destined; he was just speeding it up by one step.

Furthermore, Goudan believed that given time, he would surely make up for this loss to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

He wouldn’t let this entrance go to waste.

The meticulous Goudan tapped on the throne with his tail.

Five minutes later, Goudan discovered the secret of the throne.

Immediately after, Goudan injected a wisp of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan’s demonic power.

With a “rumble”…

As the massive throne moved…

An entrance appeared beneath the massive throne.

Lin Xun looked down the entrance; he couldn’t see the bottom at a glance.

However, this entrance gave Lin Xun an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Lin Xun felt that the place this entrance led to was the gathering place of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

Lin Xun felt that if he wasn’t mistaken, all the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons in this Nether Abyss came from this place, and this exit had been open for some time.

Without a word, Lin Xun directly crushed the exit.

After crushing the exit, it would be impossible for those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons to come out of it again.

However, Lin Xun felt that this exit was only one such point.

Judging from this small part, even hundreds or thousands of years ago, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan had already existed in this Nether Abyss.

They had been continuously transporting Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons out from this cave.

So now, various entrances and exits must have already been opened; many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons must be scattered throughout the world, likely lurking in wait.

Without a doubt, in the distant future, the world might face a great war against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

Leaving the Nether Abyss, Lin Xun grabbed an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon sealed in an ice monument and a Skeleton Giant Soldier.

After putting them into his Storage Pouch, Lin Xun and Complete Tranquility left immediately.

Leaving the Nether Abyss, Lin Xun swept his spear, altering the terrain and completely destroying the Nether Abyss, forming a barrier.

Without the control of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan, the Demonic Beasts of the Nether Abyss wouldn’t emerge so easily; they would only live inside.

One could say that as long as a Magic Formation was set up and someone guarded it regularly, it would be fine; there was no longer a need for someone like Great Master Yuanming to turn their Physical Body into a golden form to suppress it.

When Lin Xun and Complete Tranquility flew out of the Nether Abyss, they saw Wang Chen waiting for them outside.

Seeing Lin Xun, Wang Chen happily flew to his side.

By this time, most of the Demonic Beasts that had escaped from the Nether Abyss had been destroyed by the monks.

Of course, there were simply too many Demonic Beasts that had escaped from the Nether Abyss.

It was normal for some to have slipped through the net.

However, monks and Daoists were already conducting a search.

They believe that before long, these Demonic Beasts would be rounded up and killed.

“I’m leaving first, I’ll come see you later.”

As more and more people flew toward the entrance of the Nether Abyss, Lin Xun glanced at Wang Chen, then turned and flew away without a word.

Wang Chen wanted to follow.

But she was surrounded by a blast of Lin Xun’s spear Qi.

Wang Chen couldn’t move forward and could only stare blankly as Big Brother Lin gradually distanced himself.

On the other side, Mo Wenwen also frowned slightly as she watched Lin Xun leave the Nether Abyss.

At this moment, Mo Wenwen’s heart was also filled with complex emotions.

Mo Wenwen wanted to chase after him, but ultimately she stayed her feet.

For Mo Wenwen, what if she did chase after him? What could she say to him?

She was the one practicing Supreme Detachment from Emotion, yet she was also the one who had fallen into emotion.

While he hadn’t been moved in the slightest, in the end, the problem lay with her.

With Lin Xun’s departure and the battle near the Nether Abyss gradually coming to an end…

Those monks and Daoists also gradually flew over.

Looking at the completely collapsed Nether Abyss, none of them knew what had happened, while only Complete Tranquility stood there chanting Buddhist mantras.

Soon, these monks and Daoists continued to Seal the place.

They planned to set up a new Magic Formation and then select monks to guard the area, ensuring everything was well-fortified.

From the outbreak of the monster tide in the Nether Abyss to its end, less than two days had passed in total.

Within these two days, everything had been settled.

Of course, it was fortunate to have Lin Xun’s help during this time.

To be honest, without Lin Xun’s help, no one knew what the Nether Abyss would have turned into.

They even seriously doubted whether they could have continued to suppress the Nether Abyss at all.

It was highly likely that those Demonic Beasts from the Nether Abyss would have escaped.

This would have ultimately led to the collapse of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land and the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent; by then, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan would have become even more arrogant, and that exit would not have been closed.

So, even if many people didn’t say it aloud, they were very clear in their hearts.

This time, the one most responsible for dealing with the Demonic Beasts of the Nether Abyss was Lin Xun.

Without Lin Xun, everything would have been incredibly troublesome.

It could be said that these people, especially those of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent…

Had received a great favor from Lin Xun.

If another operation to surround and suppress Lin Xun were to be launched in the future, it was likely that no one from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent would participate.

After all, for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent to participate in suppressing Lin Xun again would be an act of repaying kindness with enmity.

This was certainly unacceptable to the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent.

“Pass down my order: the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land are to stop and reorganize here, and assist in setting up the Magic Formation. Once finished, they will return with me to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land.”

“Yes!”

At Complete Tranquility’s command, all the monks set aside their complex thoughts and began to reorganize on the spot, preparing for the upcoming Magic Formation.

A month after the events at the Nether Abyss, news of what had happened at the Dragon Cry Holy Land also reached the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent.

Word spread from one person to ten, then to a hundred; soon, the events at the Dragon Cry Holy Land were known throughout the Myriad Laws World.

Countless people heard of the existence of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan and were shocked.

However, many expressed disbelief.

After all, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon species only existed in legends; how could they truly appear in reality?

There must be some mistake.

But soon, the various Sects of the Dragon Cry Holy Land issued a joint statement confirming the reality of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan, which forced more and more cultivators to believe it.

After all, if it were just one Sect, the existence of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan would still be in question.

But with so many Sects simultaneously claiming their existence…

Even if it were just a rumor made real by repetition, one would have to believe it was true.

For a time, the Myriad Laws World fell into a small panic, worrying whether Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons existed around them as well.

After all, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was a creature that could occupy others’ bodies through their Divine Soul.

Who knew if the people around them had been possessed by an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?

However, after another three or four months of this minor panic, many people were no longer so afraid of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

Because during these months, everyone had been living fine, and nothing had happened at all.

In their eyes, only a small handful of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had escaped, and they had already been completely dealt with.

And even if some Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons still existed, they didn’t need to worry too much.

After all, there were so many people with high Realms in the Myriad Laws World.

Furthermore, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan had existed in this world for so long without causing any major waves.

That also meant their power was limited, so why should they worry?

As for Lin Xun, after leaving, he headed directly for the Extreme Cold Province.

The Extreme Cold Province was located in the northernmost part of the Myriad Laws World.

The area of the Extreme Cold Province was extremely vast, but it was sparsely populated.

It was the best place for the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan to hide.

Lin Xun felt strongly…

That there must be something in the Extreme Cold Province.

After all, that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had made his palace one of ice and snow, so there must be a reason for it.

Moreover, in a place like the Extreme Cold Province, with its millions of miles of frozen land, many things would be buried beneath the ice and snow.

Thus, no one knew if some kind of existence was sealed in the Extreme Cold Province.

Regardless, Lin Xun intended to go and take a look; he wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

And just as Lin Xun stepped into the icy world of the Extreme Cold Province…

In the Demon Race World, the Demon Emperor had already set out with his army to resist She Qiqi’s forces.

Leading an army of a million, the Demon Emperor marched directly toward a continent controlled by She Qiqi.

For the Demon Emperor, this time he was bound to have a fight to the death with She Qiqi—his own daughter.

However, looking at the vast wilderness, the Demon Emperor couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.

He never could have imagined…

That his next military campaign would be against his own daughter.

“Perhaps this is fate!”

Mounted on a Fire Spirit Warhorse and holding the reins, the Demon Emperor looked up at the immensely high sky.

Meanwhile, in She Qiqi’s courtyard, a scout delivered news of the Demon Emperor’s advance into her hands.

Seeing the news, She Qiqi also shook her head and couldn’t help but sigh.

She Qiqi was already fully prepared in her heart for her father to personally come and suppress her.

She Qiqi had long anticipated this, as it was the most important and effective method.

Otherwise, if her father allowed her to keep winning and building momentum…

In the end, her army would grow stronger with every battle, while the imperial army would completely lose confidence, and by then, it would truly be beyond saving.

Thus, the imperial family didn’t want to make peace with her, and she didn’t want to make peace with the imperial family.

The only way left was for her father to personally lead the troops and suppress her.

Although her father hadn’t fought a war in many years…

No matter what, her father was the hero who had conquered the world back then.

She Qiqi was very certain of this.

After all, when she was a child, the teacher who had first taught her tactics was the Demon Emperor.

Putting down the intelligence report…

She Qiqi slowly said to a female general beside her:

“Go and fetch my military uniform. It won’t be long before Father and the others arrive at Dragon Bone Pass.

As his daughter, how could I not go and personally welcome him?”
