Uh … Du Feng was dumbfounded. He had been hoping for the essence beasts on the mountain peak, but now there was nothing to hope for. Perhaps the essence force loss was too great, and the trapped essence beasts were all drained. The so-called large number of level-nineteen essence beasts on the other side of the Jumping Tiger Stream was just a wish.
"Don't count on it. I've already sucked all the useful things around here."
Alright, so the essence beasts weren't turned into mummies because of the loss of essence force, but they were sucked dry by East Deity. Being able to suck essence force dry from such a long distance and with so many rocks and soil between them, the experienced Immortal Emperors were really scary.
Du Feng finally understood one thing. Even if he jumped to the other side and didn't fall, he wouldn't be able to escape from East Deity's clutches. Luckily, he did a good deed in the past and sent East Deity some delicacies with recuperation medicine. Karma really came quickly.
As for why East Deity was locked in this strange cave and wearing a numinous treasure level chain, Du Feng didn't ask. He also didn't ask why that table could deliver food. What he was thinking about now was how to break the chain.
Although his weapons were not bad, even the most powerful Dragon Riding Sword wouldn't work. Did he have to use his nails and wings to slowly grind the chain? If that was the case, he might as well use Cultivation to get out sooner or later. As long as Lu Yu kept coming here to trick people, he didn't have to worry about resources.
Another way was for Xiao Hei to go into hibernation immediately and break through to level-twenty when he woke up. That way, he would be able to help find good tools. Or he could climb down the cliff after breaking through and perhaps carry Du Feng out. However, Little Black often slept for months or even years, so this matter was not certain.
Oh right, Du Feng suddenly thought of something that he still couldn't fully control — the Heavenly Devil Ruler.
Thinking of this, Du Feng hesitated. The Heavenly Devil Ruler was a special thing after all, and he still couldn't figure out its secrets. Would he get into trouble if he took it out in front of East Deity? What if the original owner of the Heavenly Devil Ruler was the sworn enemy of East Deity?
"Old man, how did you get trapped here? Was it the work of a meditation cultivator or a demonic cultivator?"
Originally, Du Feng did not want to ask too much about this matter, but now he had no choice but to ask. Moreover, he had to ask in detail, hoping to find some clues.
"It's a long story. It's all my fault for making friends."
When East Deity talked about this, his face was full of regret. He was originally a forthright person, and he was also somewhat uninhibited. He was willing to make all kinds of friends. While he was out adventuring, he met a Monstrous Cultivator friend, and the two of them agreed to come to the Thunder Fall Forest for an adventure.
In the beginning, their cooperation was quite good. But then, this Yao cultivator suddenly plotted against him. With East Thearch's strength, even if this demon cultivator were to plot against him, it would be even easier for him to succeed. However, at this time, a human warrior suddenly appeared. This person's strength was tyrannical. Together with the demonic cultivator, they injured East Deity and placed numinous treasure-grade chains on his body.
"If that's the case, why didn't they kill you? Who was that person?"
Du Feng's question was very good. Since they wanted to harm people and won, why didn't they just kill East Deity directly? Also, there was a human warrior mentioned just now. In that era, there were not many warriors who could go against East Deity. Probably only the Five Emperors of the Celestial Court.
That human warrior had been wearing a bamboo hat and veil all along, not revealing his face. East Deity did not know who he was, but there were a few suspects. Frankly speaking, his thoughts were similar to Du Feng's. To be so strong, it had to be one of the Five Emperors of the Celestial Court.
Also, this person had a medium build and was a man. Therefore, he was not the Flame Emperor or the Le Emperor. He could only be between the Azure Emperor, the Celestial Thearch, and the Yellow Emperor.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … so East Deity was so strong back then. A Demon Thearch and another member of the Five Emperors of the Celestial Court had to sneak up on him to injure him. As for why the two of them only trapped him, but did not dare to kill him, it had to start from East Deity's state.
Because East Deity was at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperor back then. He had faked his death nine times and had been looking for a chance to break through again. If they attacked him, there would be two possibilities. One was to kill East Deity and destroy his soul. The other was to let East Deity die again and revive to break through to the legendary Immortal Emperor Realm.
If it was the second possibility, then the two of them who sneaked up on him would not be able to live. No one dared to gamble on such a possibility. Therefore, they simply trapped East Deity in this place that no one could think of and that was very difficult to reach. They used numinous treasure-grade chains to lock his spine and slowly deplete his essence force until he became a mortal. Then, his body would wither and he would die.
Actually, during this period of time, when East Deity's state was declining and he was unable to break through, the two of them thought of killing him. But due to the environment of the Thunder Fall Forest, they could not enter this place. After a long time, this matter was put aside.
After all, after such a long time, even if East Deity did not die, he would be a cripple. He was no longer a threat to demon thearchs and immortal thearchs.
East Deity had a small hobby, which was to make furniture. Some of the furniture he made were scattered in various auction houses or shops. A portion of it was used as a dining table by the tavern. Actually, he did something to every dining table. That was why he did not starve to death after being trapped in the cave for so long.
Previously, he had only eaten bits and pieces of rice scraps or leftover bones. This was the first time he had encountered someone like Du Feng who had sent him an entire pork knuckle or a whole roasted lamb. Moreover, he had even placed healing medicine in it.
While the environment of the Thunder Fall Forest had not changed, East Deity quickly recovered. After the big locust tree was removed, the environment of the Thunder Fall Forest changed greatly. Everyone could enter the central area again.
Actually, East Deity was very nervous during this period. He was afraid that his enemies would take the opportunity to find him again. If that was the case, he would have to suffer another round of torture. He might even be locked up in another place. Maybe they were busy or they had forgotten about this matter. In short, his two enemies did not come for the time being.
With the help of Lu Yu, East Deity recovered to his peak. Coincidentally, the person who was tricked today was actually Du Feng.
"That means they will come at any time?"
