It was dusk and the setting sun shone down from the west. But when Lin Muyu flew into the Heaven's Gorge, she found that it was like another world. The sun hung high in the sky, scorching hot. How was it dusk? Indeed, the Heaven Reaching Gorge didn't belong to the Shattered Cauldron Realm in the first place. It was an existence that was connected to another dimension!
"Pa Pa … Pa Pa … Pa Pa …"
Behind him, there was a huge hole in the World Wall. Sparks were coming out from the edge of the hole and the fire was spreading. If there was no power to repair it, the hole would only get bigger and bigger.
Lin Muyu flew rapidly above the forest and quickly entered the gorge. What came into view were dozens of cities in the gorge, and there were even more in the distance. No one knew how big the Heaven's Gorge was, but to be able to nurture an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of demons, it must be a fertile land.
No, I have to find out where Tang Xiaoxi is being held.
After landing on the ground, Lin Muyu hid herself in the grasses. She saw a group of people slowly walking towards her from afar. Over 30 armored demons were escorting almost 200 humans. These humans were as skinny as a match with their hands tied with ropes. They should be demon craftsmen. Demons lacked human craftsmen the most. Therefore, they always gained advanced forging ability by suppressing humans.
If there were more than thirty Armor Demons, it would be easy to deal with them.
Moreover, there was a high-level demon among them, which made things even easier. They could keep him alive and interrogate him about Tang Xiaoxi's whereabouts.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Muyu abruptly jumped out of the grasses as she rushed towards a team of armor demons in the distance like a small storm mixed with green grasses.
"Steel Barre!"
The group of Armor Demons was dumbfounded. The only high-level demon who escorted them shouted, "Quick, block that thing!"
Three Armor Demons roared and rushed forward. However, as soon as the sword light flashed by, these Armor Demons were all split into halves. Lin Muyu almost raised the speed of her Falling Star Steps to the extreme. She flew through the crowd like a bolt of lightning. Three seconds later, she suddenly stopped. Behind her, the Armor Demons could not move at all. Their bodies were tied up by visible whirlwinds.
Lin Muyu clenched her fist lightly. "Peng, peng, peng." The group of Armor Demons were all cut into pieces by the wind blades.
"Who … who are you?"
The only surviving high-level demon looked at her in fear. This high-level demon had never seen a human kill more than 30 adult Armor Demons so easily. Moreover, the power she used was not like that of a human at all. It was more like that of a god who could summon wind and rain!
Lin Muyu approached him step by step, and the invisible pressure of the Supreme God's domain pressed down on him, causing beads of sweat to drip down his face.
"As long as you answer one question of mine, I won't kill you." Lin Muyu smiled slightly.
"Ask … ask … I will definitely answer."
"Where is Tang Xiaoxi imprisoned?"
"I …" The high-level demon's face suddenly turned pale. "Witch Tang Xiaoxi, she … the place where she's imprisoned is the highest secret of the Divine Race. I'm just a two-star demon ancestor. I don't have the qualifications to know this place. I … I really don't know …"
Lin Muyu slowly raised his palm, and a golden energy enveloped each of his fingers. He abruptly grabbed onto the shoulder of the high-ranked demon, and in an instant, his bones were crushed. His golden eyes stared at the high-ranked demon, who was already stunned by the pain. Lin Muyu calmly asked, "Speak, where is Tang Xiaoxi? Otherwise, you will die."
"I really don't know …" The high-level demon cried.
"If I knew, I would definitely tell you, but I really don't know … If you really want to find out, you can ask His Majesty the God Emperor and the Saint Sovereign. They must know."
"Where is the Divine King?"
"In the Shen's Capital."
"Where is it?"
"You can see it after climbing over that mountain. The Shen's Capital is the largest in the Sky Gorge. And … there are countless guards inside and outside the Capital. Don't … don't kill me …"
"Alright."
Lin Muyu knocked the high-ranking demon out with a backhand slap. Then, with a jolt of his divine power, the ropes that bound the human craftsmen were torn apart. He said lightly, "Everyone, leave quickly if you can. There's a big hole in the sky towards the south. If you run there, you might be able to survive. Hurry up and go."
Everyone remained motionless. They had long been scared silly by the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Devil Race. How could they still dare to move? Until an old man walked out from the crowd and respectfully saluted, saying, "May I ask this young hero … you … who exactly are you?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "My name is Lin Muyu."
"Ah, King Qin? You are King Qin? " The old man trembled and quickly knelt down. "His Highness King Qin has finally come to save us … His Highness King Qin has finally come to save us …"
The other craftsmen knelt down as well. Their faces were full of gratitude.
Lin Muyu felt guilty. In reality, he didn't come to save them. But … as long as he defeated the demons in the Sky Gorge, he would indeed save these imprisoned humans.
"Hurry up and leave. You don't have much time. I still have things to do."
"Yes, Your Highness! Then … then we'll go … "
The newcomer turned around and led a group of craftsmen into the dense forest without looking back. This was a rare opportunity for them to escape. As long as they entered the borders of Skyspan Province and avoided the demon scouts, they might be able to escape back to Winterridge Province. As long as they reached the steel walls and saw the imperial army, it would be equivalent to escaping with their lives.
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. He leaped into the sky. The higher the better. It was the safest way to get away from the demon scouts and enter the Divine Capital.
… …
The Divine Capital was resplendent. Large amounts of resources were transported from Lingdong Province and Tongtian Province back to the Divine Capital, allowing the royal members of the Demon Race to live a luxurious life. Even the entire palace was washed with gold lacquer, making it look dazzling. No matter how much the Demon King tried to whitewash himself as a Godking and a supreme god, in the end, it was all for the sake of glory, splendor, wealth, and rank.
Inside the palace, the Demon King wore a golden royal robe and held a dazzling longsword. He sat calmly on the throne. The Sagemaster stood beside him in a black robe. Below him were a few demon generals and the gorgeously dressed princess, Feng Jing 'er.
"Jing 'er, tomorrow is your wedding day with Marshal QianFeng. Is everything ready?" The Demon King asked with a smile.
"Everything is ready. Don't worry, Father."
"Haha, that's good. You must serve Marshal Qian Feng well in the future and live in harmony with your husband. Only then will you live up to father's expectations!"
"Yes, your daughter understands." Feng Jing 'er blushed.
"It's a pity …" The Demon King sighed, "It's a pity that your sister Ning 'er is still in Winter Frost City. Sigh … In order to get her back, we've lost nearly fifty thousand armored demons. I wonder how she's doing in Winter Frost City. She's the princess of our race, but she's been imprisoned for five years. It's such a waste."
QianFeng cupped his fists and said, "Father, don't worry. Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing are both scholarly generals. Even if they fight against our race, they won't humiliate His Highness Ning 'er. Don't worry about that. As long as this subordinate's new strategy is developed, our army will be able to crush the steel walls, flatten Winter Frost City, capture Lin Muyu, and rescue His Highness Ning' er."
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Marshal QianFeng."
"Then, this subordinate will take his leave to prepare for tomorrow's wedding."
"Good!"
… …
Feng Jing 'er held onto QianFeng's arm with a blissful expression. The two turned around and left. The rest of the generals also left, leaving only the Demon King and the Sage Sovereign in the hall.
"Sage Sovereign, how's the refinement of the Witch's demonic energy?" The Demon King suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, the Witch's demonic energy is very powerful. We've refined more than a hundred bottles of it, but … it's still far from enough to deal with the war."
"A hundred? That's not bad. How's the Witch Tang Xiaoxi? Has she woken up? "
"No."
"She's been unconscious for four years. Why hasn't she woken up?"
"Your Majesty …" The Sage Sovereign paused and said, "Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin grew up together. The two of them are like sisters. Under the bewitchment of Yaoji in Bai Ling City, Tang Xiaoxi lost her mind and killed Qin Yin. This is a fact that she doesn't want to face. After many years of observation, Tang Xiaoxi's strength and spiritual sense have recovered to their peak, but she's still unconscious. The only explanation is that she doesn't want to wake up."
"This …" The Demon King narrowed his eyes. "What should we do?"
"We need a reason for Tang Xiaoxi to open her eyes."
"A reason?"
The Demon King suddenly laughed. "That's simple! Among the people that Tang Xiaoxi cares about, Tang Lan and Qin Yin are already dead. Only Lin Muyu is left. And Lin Muyu is now in Ling Dong Province. If we tell her this news, will she wake up? "
"Perhaps she will, it's worth a try."
"Good!"
But at this moment, the Demon King suddenly looked up at the hall and shouted, "Someone's coming, get out here!"
With a wave of his palm, the blood-colored Grandmaster Devil Force rushed straight to the base of the hall like a blood chain. With a "bang", it pierced through the base of the hall. Countless bricks and tiles fell, while the blood chain entangled a golden light like a poisonous snake and forcibly pulled it down.
* Weng! *
The golden light swirled around Lin Muyu, who was being held back by Xue Lian. After pondering for a moment, Xue Lian entered his Divine Transformation Battle Form, his eyes flashing a golden light as he unsheathed his sword. The Seven Luminaries Immortal Gourd and God Binding Chains quickly disintegrated and fused into the Seven Luminaries Immortal Sword.
* Cha cha cha … *
In the blink of an eye, the Demon King's Blood Refinement was turned into pieces while Lin Muyu rushed towards the Demon King and shouted, "Where is Tang Xiaoxi?"
"Hahahaha …"
The Demon King laughed loudly, "You're finally here!"
The Nephilim Emperor's palms formed a shield as he channeled all the divine energy in his body. In an instant, his strength was raised to its peak as he slammed his palms against Lin Muyu's sword!
