Capítulo 1336: Chapter 23: Uniting Forces

“So strong… It’s best if he can get rid of him…”

Lin Feng silently cheered for the mysterious corpse, hoping that if it could eliminate the demon fetus, those forces relying on it would be leaderless, destined to perish without a trace.

The mysterious corpse continued to step forward, launching another punch towards the demon lotus.

However, killing the demon fetus hidden within the demon lotus is not an easy task.

Just as the mysterious corpse’s blow seemed about to strike the demon lotus, a starry world appeared between the demon lotus and the mysterious corpse.

The mysterious corpse’s attack shattered the starry world.

But the demon lotus quickly retreated, enveloping everyone, and within an instant, escaped without a trace.

The mysterious corpse floated in mid-air, not chasing after it.

After the demon lotus fled, it returned to Burial Valley, transforming back into a corpse, lying there.

The escape of the demon fetus was within Lin Feng’s expectations.

So seeing the demon fetus leave, Lin Feng wasn’t surprised.

“Dozens of corpses, could it be that all those corpses possess such powerful strength?”

Lin Feng muttered to himself.

If that’s truly the case, then that Burial Valley is incredibly terrifying. What kind of terrifying beings are buried there?

…

The ghost ship drifted away, leaving the mountain range where Burial Valley was located, eventually arriving on the lake’s surface.

Lin Feng planned to leave; he wanted to return to East County Divine Land. Although the demon slave army controlled by the demon fetus hadn’t attacked any states apart from the Desert Domain yet, it was only a matter of time.

Lin Feng bid farewell to Luo Yan.

Then he returned to Lin City in East County Divine Land with the Pig-faced Blood Bat King.

Nowadays, East County Divine Land is also in a state of panic. After Lin Feng returned, the various families and forces of East County Divine Land quickly sent people to pay their respects to Lin Feng.

Evidently, everyone now regards Lin Feng as the backbone.

“Try to relocate family members to the overseas world…”

Lin Feng instructed the cultivators of the major forces.

A great battle is inevitable; preparations must be made in advance.

If the demon slave army is repelled, that would be great.

But if they can’t be repelled?

Relocation must be planned in advance; waiting until their defenses crumble to relocate would be too late.

Now, Shangguan Fei’er and others have also been relocated from True Martial Country’s Imperial City to Lin City.

Here, Lin Feng met many familiar faces, including mentors from Azure Dragon Academy and friends.

Xiao Yafei, Su Zimo, and others also came to Lin City.

Lin Feng ordered people to escort Shangguan Fei’er, Xiao Yafei, Su Zimo, and others by ship to East Sea Desire Kingdom!

This Desire Kingdom is the maritime empire built by Mrs. Qii.

Mrs. Qii teamed up with the Nine Great Pirate Kings, and with the recent emergence of the Heavenly Demon, many top forces don’t have the time to deal with Mrs. Qii, so she extended her power madly.

Now, Desire Kingdom has shown the posture of becoming a colossal force in both the East Sea and South Sea.

More and more loose cultivators are heading to Desire Kingdom to rely on Mrs. Qii.

Lin Feng sent Shangguan Fei’er and others to Desire Kingdom, which is temporarily safer.

After all, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Demon is, it’s only a dozen individuals.

Too few in number.

The Heavenly Demon mainly relies on the demon slave army to invade Heavenly Martial Continent.

The invasion of Heavenly Martial Continent’s Three Thousand States has just begun, and the Heavenly Demon naturally doesn’t have time to deal with maritime events.

Therefore, during this period, many forces in the Heavenly Martial Continent’s Three Thousand States are relocating assets and even moving some elderly, women, and children to the overseas world for refuge.

Although Shangguan Fei’er and others don’t want to leave, they know they can’t help much here and might even burden Lin Feng, so they departed by ship.

“Master, some members of the forces wiped out in the Desert Domain managed to escape and have now come to Lin City to seek refuge with you!” said Dugu Wutian.

“Hmm, summon the leaders of those forces. I want to meet them,” said Lin Feng.

“Yes!”

Having received the order, Dugu Wutian sent people to notify the escaped cultivators from the Desert Domain.

The cultivators of the Desert Domain mostly suffered the destruction of their homes and families.

Now, many hearts are filled with endless hatred.

If utilized well, the cultivators of the Desert Domain can be a significant aid.

Soon, leaders of more than a dozen forces from the Desert Domain came one after another.

The Desert Domain doesn’t have exceptionally powerful forces, with the most powerful being the Four Great Ancient Forces and the Ten Great Ancient Families.

Lin Feng had some unpleasant experiences with Star Cloud Pavilion, All Laws Sect, and Divine Sword Manor in the past.

But that’s all in the past.

Now, the Heavenly Martial Continent faces the invasion of the Heavenly Demon.

Life and death.

Personal grievances are trivial compared to this.

“Young Master Lin…”

The leaders of more than a dozen forces from the Desert Domain all saluted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng recognized some familiar faces, like the Great Ability Zong Yun from Star Cloud Pavilion and Elder Zhong Limei from Azure Cloud Sect’s Spirit Array Peak.

Lin Feng said, “I understand everyone’s feelings now; the chaos caused by the Heavenly Demon has led to the tragic deaths of millions of cultivators and ordinary people in the Desert Domain, including your relatives, friends, teachers, or descendants. This hatred cannot be washed away even by the water of the seas. I will have Dugu Wutian arrange for you to integrate into Lin City. Soon, there will be new organizational structures. Since you’ve chosen to rely on me, remember, never let thoughts of betrayal breed, or don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Everyone replied, “Yes!”

Lin Feng had Dugu Wutian organize the integration of cultivators from these forces, leaving a few elders from Azure Cloud Sect and the Great Ability Zong Yun from Star Cloud Pavilion to stay behind.

“How many people from Azure Cloud Sect managed to escape?” Lin Feng asked.

Elder Zhong Limei’s eyes quickly reddened, and he said in a low voice, “Only over two thousand escaped.”

Over the years, Azure Cloud Sect has grown steadily, with about sixty thousand outer disciples, plus inner disciples, core disciples, stewards, elders, odd jobs workers, great elders, etc.

Altogether, nearly a million people.

Only over two thousand have managed to escape.

This is nearly an extermination of the sect.

Thinking of the tragically deceased Grand Elder Zhaang Quan, Grand Elder Guo Yan, and Grand Elder Qiao Yunqiu, Lin Feng also felt a deep pain.

When he first joined Azure Cloud Sect, the grand elders treated him well.

But in the end, they died tragically in the sect’s destruction battle.

Lin Feng resented Huangfu Qingtian deeply; had it not been for Huangfu Qingtian’s treachery against five great ancestors, Lin Feng could have arrived in time to suppress the demon fetus. But everything is now a done deal.

“Several elders should rest for now; I’ll make time to check on the cultivators of Azure Cloud Sect,” Lin Feng said.

“Yes!” Elder Zhong Limei and several elders rose, saluted Lin Feng, and departed.

After Zhong Limei and the others left, Lin Feng turned to Great Ability Zong Yun, saying, “Mr. Zong! Do you know if Yu Fan and Han Shuo escaped?”

Great Ability Zong Yun said with a heavy voice, “Han Shuo died in that battle, Yu Fan vanished without trace, I couldn’t take care of them, I failed my responsibilities in the past, I am guilty.”

Lin Feng said, “It’s not your fault, besieged by armies, life and death are determined by fate. Mr. Zong, please depart.”

Great Ability Zong Yun saluted Lin Feng and also withdrew.

Lin Feng thought of the past moments with Yu Fan and Han Shuo, letting out a sigh.

Every event of yesterday seems like it still happened yesterday, but now it’s already separated by life and death.

Life is really so fragile.
