Chapter 718 - Dragon Scabbard
Edited by Ea
“How come?” Lin Xuanzhi asked.
“It’s no use.” Yan Tianhen’s eyes reflected a purple black crack and said, “Once the Dragon Tomb’s seal is broken, there’s no possibility of sealing it again. If I was still at Sky Realm cultivation, there is a possibility that I could repair the Dragon Tomb, but now…”
But it is impossible now.
The enemy was strong and he was weak. There was a big difference like an ant trying to shake a big tree. However, nothing in this world was absolute.
Yan Tianhen suddenly flew up without warning, and the rolling purple black Qi carried him straight to the sky. He came to stand in front of Cangdi Fenglang.
“Youngest Shidi, long time no see,” Yan Tianhen said softly, staring at Cangdi Fenglang’s face.
Cangdi Fenglang narrowed his eyes and stared at him greedily. “You have changed so much. No wonder I didn’t recognize you at first. I just didn’t expect you to dare come and see me.”
Yan Tianhen smiled. “I still want to meet you. After all, we’re still old acquaintances. I haven’t seen you for years, Shidi. Why do we have to start fighting as soon as we meet? Why don’t we discuss it?”
Cangdi Fenglang smiled contemptuously and said, “Let’s discuss? You’re just a waste now. What can you discuss with me? If you want to stall for time, you should save it. When I destroy the Nine Lands, I’m going to start with the North Land!”
Yan Tianhen said, “Even if you start from the North Land, this is not the northernmost region of the Nine Lands. The real north is at the Northern Liang City on the northern border, which is the junction between the demon world and the Nine Land’s North Land.”
Cangdi Fenglang suddenly stared with big purple eyes about to pop out.
When Yan Tianhen saw his reaction, he laughed. “Fenglang ah, Fenglang, isn’t it uncomfortable? I knew you would be so upset, so I deliberately set the Dragon Tomb in such a position.”
The biggest weakness of Cangdi Fenglang was that he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. When he first went to the Spirit Sect, he must arrange the green beans neatly when eating, and then eat the leftmost one first and work his way over. When planting spiritual herbs, he must also arrange the seeds evenly, and even the spiritual plants that grew up should be packed neatly and in the same direction, otherwise he would pout for a long time.
Cangdi Fenglang really felt uncomfortable. He clenched his fist, pressed his forehead, and his veins stood out. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to strangle you!”
With that, he attacked Yan Tianhen. Yan Tianhen had been on guard for a long time. He suddenly took out the sword hidden inside the dragon skin scabbard, and slashed it towards Cangdi Fenglang.
Some time before, the blood rust on Xiuxiu had already been cleaned. The four finger wide sword had turned into three fingers wide, shining with white light, which seemed both holy and murderous. Yan Tianhen held the sword in a carefree and calm manner, looking like a wild crane walking around in a leisurely court. He looked very skilled.
While mobilizing the evil spirits on his side to entangle with the evil spirits of Cangdi Fenglang, he waited for an opportunity to fight and secretly threw the scabbard towards the entrance of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land–
A dragon roar sounded across the heavens and the earth, and the scabbard turned into a golden dragon at the moment of touching the entrance, staring viciously with its mouth open, and rushed into the entrance of the Dragon Tomb.
“Shit!” Cangdi Fenglang cursed. The waves of evil spirits behind him turned into a monster with a big open mouth. It raised its body up and lunged at Yan Tianhen.
Yan Tianhen stumbled with his feet and nearly fell from the cloud. He didn’t have a weapon in hand anymore. Cangdi Fenglang had probably used up 80% to 90% of his entire power in that one strike. Seeing that the giant evil spirit was about to devour him, a sword broke through the sky and pierced the purple mass, rushing directly to strangle the evil spirits into pieces.
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was ashen. His lips pursed and his face looked bloodless.
He first looked at Yan Tianhen with extremely complicated eyes, then held his Zhige sword in hand, let his own blood slide down the blade, and then used his bloodstained finger to draw a seal. Lin Xuanzhi chanted silently. The sword was pushed toward the seal, and a crimson seal gradually became larger, which gathered Cangdi Fenglang into it.
Cangdi Fenglang was caught off guard. When this move hit him, he immediately screamed. He glanced at the situation below him between enemy and allied forces, then suddenly turned into a mass of evil Qi and flew away towards the northernmost part of the North Land.
Behind him, the evil spirits jumped after him one by one.
Seeing this, Lord Yuxu frowned and looked at Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen. Then he waved his sleeves and quickly retreated. His body was hidden in the rolling purple of evil Qi and was no longer seen again.
Yan Tianhen wiped the cold sweat on his face and just fell to the ground. The sword made of bones in his hand slipped down carelessly.
Yan Tianhen first stared at Lin Xuanzhi’s bleeding hand for a moment, then swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He did not dare to lift his head. He said with a trembling voice, “Dage, I…”
Yan Tianhen finally said, “Your hand is bleeding.”
Lin Xuanzhi didn’t speak for a long time.
Now his brain was chaotic, very chaotic, almost bursting.
“Shixiong, does it feel good?”
“Dage, other people want to climb up my bed, but none of them have this chance. You are the first person in history. How about I make you my Demon Empress? You’ll only be under one demon but above ten thousand demons; you only need to serve me.”
“Shixiong, didn’t you eat? If you can’t satisfy my appetite, I will find someone else to play with.”
What was that?
What exactly were those?
Lin Xuanzhi pressed his temple, feeling the impact from an onslaught of memories.
There was a lot of noise around, and everyone was in fear just now. They were still in shock. There were still some residual evil spirits to deal with, especially to prevent the evil Qi cultivators from making a comeback. During this time, no one had time to care about these two at all.
However, no matter how noisy the voices were, they couldn’t reach Yan Tianhen’s ears at this time.
Inside this white bone sword, what was sealed was the memory of Chang Sheng that he never wanted to remember.
Most of the humiliation Chang Sheng suffered in his life were in those years.
Yan Tianhen couldn’t hear Lin Xuanzhi’s voice, so he whispered in a trembling voice. “You said…. you won’t care about the past.”
He knew he made a mistake.
Made an enormous mistake.
This was the thing he regretted the most. However, time couldn’t be reversed, and he couldn’t change what he had done.
What Yan Tianhen feared the most was Lin Xuanzhi’s recollection of Chang Sheng’s past, which was full of decadent erotic depravity.
Therefore, he never used Xiuxiu and never allowed the blood cypress sap to play its role.
But, today, he had to use it.
“Dage, even if you blame me, you still can’t ignore me. We had a deal.”
“Ah Hen,” Lin Xuanzhi finally spoke, and although his voice was very light, Yan Tianhen was caught red-handed.
“Huh?” Yan Tianhen looked up immediately, and saw Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes as black as the abyss.
Lin Xuanzhi said, “It hurts.”
He pointed to his heart. “It hurts here.”
Yan Tianhen froze on the spot, watching Lin Xuanzhi pick up the sword that fell to the ground and then pass him by.
Yan Tianhen suddenly turned around and shouted, “You said you won’t care about the past. You can’t break your promise!”
Lin Xuanzhi’s voice came with the wind. “I also said that you need to take responsibility for your actions.”
………
Zhan Fengting fell to the ground and recovered his human form. Hai Kuanglang watched Lord Yuxu run away and didn’t pursue him. Instead, he hurried to the ground to see Zhan Fengting’s injury.
Unexpectedly, he just spoke a sentence of “Shixiong”, and was slapped in the face. With a slap, Hai Kuanglang looked shocked.
“Willful and reckless! Selfish!” Zhan Fengting was so angry that his face turned white and even his fingers trembled. He pointed to Hai Kuanglang and said, “Do you know what you have done? Do you know how many people will be killed by your actions?”
“How many people will be killed by this? What does that have to do with me?” Hai Kuanglang held a drop of blood in his mouth and his lips trembled, before they curled up, showing a ferocious smile. “You’ve been lying to me from beginning to end — fine, I accept that. You’re willing to throw away your life for the world — fine, I’ll also accept that. But since you think I can’t control you and have no right to control you, then similarly, you can’t interfere in what I want to do either. That’s right– I wanted to disrupt your plan and change your decision. I am not doing it for you; I’m doing it so that you will also have a taste of how miserable it feels!”
Then he turned and left. He didn’t walk towards the Dragon Palace, but in the other direction.
“Little Lang!” Zhan Fengting was also worried. He had just closed the seal on the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. However, just when he was about to succeed, Hai Kuanglang broke through the barrier and pulled him out of it, which caused the serious consequences of opening the Holy Land Dragon Tomb again. If it hadn’t been for Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen just now, the entire North Land would’ve already been devoid of life.
Everything fell short.
In a moment of desperation, Zhan Fengting talked irresponsibly and even hit Hai Kuanglang.
When he looked at Hai Kuanglang’s departing figure, his heart felt like it had been whipped and he regretted it. He wanted to catch up and say something, but Zhan Fengting was stopped by the Dragon Emperor.
“Ah, I let him in.” The Dragon Emperor touched his nose guiltily and said, “I told him the way to summon the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. If you want to blame anyone, blame me.”
Zhan Fengting gently sighed and looked at his biological father, whom he had never been close to but whom he also wasn’t enemies with. “Now that it’s come to this, it’s meaningless to pursue it again. Let’s try to find a way to destroy the evil spirits.”
Yan Tianhen came over quickly and said, “Youshan Lingyu and the evil spirits are definitely going to the northernmost part of the North Land. You might as well light a beacon first, so that those who guard the border in the north can know the situation and make preparations in advance.”
The Dragon Emperor nodded. “I just saw the evil Qi sweeping towards the north, and I already sent people to deliver the message. I wonder how the northern border will respond.”
Yan Tianhen looked up. “There is a phoenix in the north. Evil spirits are most afraid of phoenix fire, so they’ll be throwing their lives away by going there.”
The Dragon Emperor was stunned. “Is it the West Phoenix Monarch, Feng Jingyu?”
Yan Tianhen said, “That’s him.”
The Dragon Emperor was not too shocked. “They all said that he had already passed away and disappeared. I didn’t expect that he would be at our northern border. If the news spread to the West Land, I’m afraid the bird clans will have a shock again.”
Zhan Fengting asked, “What is the West Phoenix Monarch doing in the north?”
Yan Tianhen narrowed his eyes. “He probably went… to seek justice.”
He was probably going to seek justice for Ling Chigu, who had been kicked to the side by King Zhen after he was no longer useful. He probably also wanted to seek justice for all the times he wanted to vent his suffering over the years but couldn’t.
As soon as Feng Jingyu and Ling Chigu arrived at the Nine Lands, Yan Tianhen had gotten the news. Anyway, he had a contractual relationship with Ling Chigu. As long as Ling Chigu was in the Nine Lands, he could sense where he was.
