Chapter 1611: Demons Arrive
For the past few days, the Great Zhou Immortal Palace had not only sealed off the gap leading from the buffer zone into their territory, but had also locked down the city gate that led out of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace's main city into the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region. Moreover, the security at this gate was in no way laxer than at the gap; if anything, it was even tighter. Not a single person was allowed to leave until the seven-day inspection of the buffer zone was complete.
Although the possibility of Lin Feng having already entered the Great Zhou Immortal Palace was extremely slim, they still had to acknowledge that such a possibility existed.
At this moment, the city gate was under strict guard. Over a dozen Martial Emperors of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace were personally stationed there. Given the enmity between Lin Feng and the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, they were determined to capture him. Furthermore, the Azure Emperor Mountain had issued an order to capture Lin Feng at all costs, so the Great Zhou Immortal Palace dared not be negligent.
However, at that very moment, a fierce wind suddenly rose in the distance. Sand and gravel flew through the air, and the clouds in the sky churned wildly. A series of gales, like terrifying storms, continuously approached.
"What is that?" A Martial Emperor with golden eyes gazed into the distance, his pupils suddenly contracting. A celestial anomaly? Impossible. At the center of this storm, there seemed to be a dark shadow, and it was approaching at a terrifying speed.
"Sir, the demonic aura is extremely strong," said a Low-rank Emperor beside him, his expression trembling. A terrifying demonic aura rushed toward them, growing stronger and denser by the moment. The demonic wind had already swept over them.
"It's a demon beast... a terrifying demon beast," the Mid-rank Emperor said, staring into the distance. The dark silhouette was now close, becoming clearer. It was a massive flying demon beast, its size horrifying.
Suddenly, the Mid-rank Emperor's body soared into the air, standing in the void, and shouted into the distance, "What business do you demon emperors have at our Great Zhou Immortal Palace?"
"Whoosh!" The fierce wind struck his body, making it impossible for him to steady himself in the void. The massive wind demon beast came to a halt, and then the Martial Emperors of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace saw many demon beasts and humans on its back. No, those should be transformed demon beasts, not humans. Their eyes were all eerily demonic, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
"Scram," the wind demon beast said coldly, its massive pupils sweeping over him. Then, its hundred-meter-long wings swept through the void, and it suddenly accelerated, charging forward like a streak of light.
The Mid-rank Emperor's body dove downward, looking up at the colossal wind demon that blotted out the sky. His heart trembled slightly. He seemed to realize something. In this endless region, the closest place to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses where demon beasts gathered was only one place: Demon Night Island.
"People from Demon Night Island have arrived," his heart trembled. Watching the massive figure disappear in an instant, he immediately stepped forward and rushed toward the Great Zhou Immortal Palace fortress. Something big was about to happen.
In the main city of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, demonic aura surged into the sky. A massive demon beast swept through the void, creating an oppressive atmosphere like dark clouds pressing down on the city. Countless people looked up, their hearts trembling. What a terrifying demon beast.
At the vast castle of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, many experts gazed at the colossal creature from above, their eyes fixed on it. As experts of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, they naturally knew who had arrived.
"Sir?" Many people stood behind a figure draped in a golden long robe, seemingly asking what to do.
"The main players this time should be the Azure Emperor Mountain and Demon Night Island. Let's wait and see," the figure said in a low, calm voice. Demon Night Island had arrived. As a member of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, the Great Zhou Immortal Palace could not afford to clash head-on with them. Otherwise, Demon Night Island's retaliation would be even more terrifying in the future. Now, it was a matter between the Azure Emperor Mountain and Demon Night Island. They would step aside and avoid the conflict.
The wind demon's speed was terrifying. It didn't take long for it to reach the gap. At this moment, the gap in the Great Zhou Immortal Palace was still being inspected one person at a time. But when the group of demons descended from the void, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. Their eyes were all fixed on the massive demon beast in the sky, their hearts twitching.
"Who are you inspecting?" At that moment, a demon ape stepped forward. Its body, like a black iron tower, resembled a dark mountain. Its massive pupils made the crowd feel a chill, and its thunderous voice echoed in their eardrums, reverberating endlessly.
The experts of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace were all stunned. They wanted to say something but found themselves unable to speak. Did they dare say they were inspecting Lin Feng?
These were people from Demon Night Island. Lin Feng, it seemed, was one of them.
"Honored demon emperors, it is our great honor to have you visit the Great Zhou Immortal Palace..." a Mid-rank Emperor said, his face full of smiles. But before he could finish, the demon ape roared, "I asked who you are inspecting!"
The expert's voice was completely drowned out. His mouth twitched slightly, as if feeling the powerful and terrifying demonic aura. His heart pounded wildly.
"Brother Black, it seems they don't care much about you," a woman in a red robe said with a light smile, her eyes full of seduction. Many below were momentarily dazed. This enchantress was definitely a fox spirit who could ruin men.
"Honored demon emperors, we were entrusted by someone to inspect Lin Feng," the man said, trembling as he saw the demonic breath emanating from the demon ape's mouth.
"Roar!" The demon ape let out a demonic breath, then suddenly leaped down from the wind demon's back. Its mountain-like body pressed down from the sky, causing the crowd to flee in panic.
"Run..." The Martial Emperors of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace fled in all directions. But the demon ape's massive hand suddenly slapped forward, turning into a series of sky-covering mountain ranges that pressed down from the heavens.
"No..." Some experts roared in desperation, staring at the mountain-like palm prints descending from the sky. The stone mountain palms, formed from boulders, covered the heavens, leaving no escape.
With a thunderous explosion, the ground cracked in a crisscross pattern. The stone ape's body landed on the ground, causing another terrifying explosion. The entire gap was shattered. Where his stone mountain palm had passed, the bodies of a few Martial Emperors who had been slow to flee were no longer flesh and blood but had been crushed into piles of stone.
"Thump, thump..." The demon ape charged forward. Every step caused the ground to crack. Despite its seemingly clumsy body, each stride it took covered a distance that would take a person a long time to fly. Everything on the ground was trampled. The crowd fled like madmen. Facing such a monstrous demon ape, even Venerable Martial cultivators were no different from ants, and Low-rank Emperors were just slightly larger ants. This was a meat grinder.
The demon beasts on the wind demon's back leaped down one by one, flying through the void of this buffer zone. Although they did not trample the humans below, they still scared them half to death. Without needing orders from the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, they fled like mad toward the nine gaps.
"Lin Feng, come out!" the demon ape roared, as if trying to shatter their eardrums.
"They're looking for Lin Feng. It really is Demon Night Island," the crowd thought, their hearts trembling at the rolling sound waves.
At the gap of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, many experts from the palace rushed over. Seeing the demon group wreaking havoc in the buffer zone, they swallowed their saliva and dared not mention revenge. In this world, there was no reason, only martial power. Demons were even more so, revering strength. This was only a small force. It was hard to imagine the scene if thousands of demons from Demon Night Island descended.
"Retreat. All of you, return to the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. Do not involve yourselves in this matter anymore," an expert said. The crowd nodded in agreement. Let the Azure Emperor Mountain and Demon Night Island fight it out. The Great Zhou Immortal Palace could not afford to provoke them and could only hide.
At this moment, Lin Feng walked out of his house. Seeing the demon beasts dancing in the void, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. The people from Demon Night Island had finally arrived.
"Brother Lin Feng," a clear, seductive voice pierced through the space. Lin Feng looked into the distance and saw a familiar figure in a red robe.
Removing his mask, Lin Feng's body soared into the air. Fox Moon spotted him and immediately stepped forward. Her red robe wrapped around Lin Feng, pulling him to her side.
"Brother Lin Feng, you've made your sister look for you for so long," Fox Moon said, smiling at Lin Feng. His smile immediately fell, and he said bitterly, "Sister Fox Moon."
Being wrapped in her embrace was not a pleasant feeling. But Fox Moon seemed to enjoy teasing him, leaving Lin Feng speechless. He couldn't beat her, and escaping this situation would probably require many more years of hard cultivation.
"Who bullied you? Tell your sister, and I'll go settle the score with them," Fox Moon said, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Can you let him go and talk properly?" A figure in a black robe stepped forward. It was Divine Feather Martial Emperor. Seeing Fox Moon wrap Lin Feng in her red robe, he was at a loss for words.
"Mind your own business," Fox Moon glared at Divine Feather.
"Uncle Feather," Lin Feng smiled. In the void, the hurricane raged, and the wind demon descended. Below, the ground cracked, and the stone ape also arrived.
"Uncle Wind, Uncle Stone," Lin Feng called out to the demon emperors, gratitude shining in his eyes.
