Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 237 - 160: Target of All, Return to the Demon Sect with Me_3
"Buzz!"
The Flaming Arrow shot into the Old Demon Child’s Ten Directions Ghost Realm, blossoming into a dazzling blaze, much like it destroyed the Spirit Devouring Array. In the flames, a golden Rune Mark appeared.
"Screech!"
The Chong Ghosts let out wails of pain.
Old Demon Child’s Ten Directions Ghost Realm was damaged, the black mist dissipated, and the Chong Ghosts returned to Old Demon Child’s body as if unable to withstand the golden rune’s brilliance, forcing Old Demon Child to retreat a hundred yards.
After the golden rune in the air disappeared.
A distant voice resonated from within the Imperial City: "Within the Imperial City borders, demons and monsters are forbidden to enter!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
This distant voice, carrying two golden halos, surged from within the Imperial City, crashing toward the Old Demon Child like two golden Sword Shadows.
"Who dares!"
Old Demon Child wielded a long blade, swiftly slashing twice, merging the powerful blade light with the strength of the Chong Ghosts, emitting a piercing ghostly shriek.
"Bang bang!"
Old Demon Child retreated again and again.
Retreating another hundred yards.
The tumultuous power of Chong Ghosts within him seemed corroded, and the once-middle-aged man with a head of black hair suddenly aged a decade, his temples turning white.
Clearly, he had not gained any advantage from the owner of the distant voice.
"Master, our Church Court is in the south, the Yun Gui Sect’s headquarters is closer to the Dragon Capital than ours. We should retreat quickly!"
Uncle Fu advised earnestly.
He knew their small strength couldn’t roam freely within the Imperial City, and if they didn’t leave, they might end up being accounted for here.
"Consider their luck, let’s go!"
After suffering a setback, Old Demon Child quickly calmed down, nodded, and with Uncle Fu and others, ran toward the South City Gate, wanting to distance themselves from this trouble.
Inside the Imperial City, a young man in white, seemingly aware of Old Demon Child and others’ fading figures, closed his eyes again while seated on the bed.
"How could this be, restrictions everywhere, Old Demon Child cannot possibly stay in such an environment for over twenty years, unless he was just here to condense the Ten Directions Ghost Realm!"
Liu Jinhu successfully entered the Underground Palace.
Unfortunately, there were many restrictions inside the Underground Palace. He could only circle the first layer’s periphery, only finding traces of Old Demon Child’s life, without any valuable items.
There weren’t even any records on the walls.
Aside from wall after wall, there were only layers of restrictions. He attempted to break through those restrictions, but even the foremost ones were not something his Celestial Profound Realm strength could withstand or break.
Could it be that after rushing back from afar, being the first to enter the Underground Palace, all he got were visible walls and unbreakable restrictions?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
As he circled searching for fortune, those Innate Powerhouses, who came from afar or were enjoying their retirement in Dragon Capital, also arrived one after another.
"Didn’t expect to lose sanity at this age. If there were truly some opportunity or treasure here, how would those people in the Imperial City let me enter first?"
"Presumably, even they can’t break these restrictions."
"Maybe they knew from the start that beneath the Zhenbei Prison lies an Underground Palace."
"Otherwise, why would they linger without leaving?"
Liu Jinhu gradually calmed down, his initially disappointed expression also gradually recovered. Seeing those Innate Powerhouses rushing in behind, a cold smile spread inside him, easing his depressed mood considerably.
After all.
There’s still a group of people as foolish as him under this sky.
Truly believing that there’s some treasure or opportunity in the Underground Palace, hastily rushing over, yet ending up empty-handed just like him.
"Liu Jinhu!"
"He’s the first who entered, the items must be on him."
"He must have already taken the opportunity, let’s join forces to make him leave it!"
"Liu Jinhu, share the treasure and opportunity with everyone, or don’t even think about leaving!"
This first layer’s periphery of the Underground Palace isn’t large, about two to three hundred square meters. Those who rushed in behind, just like Liu Jinhu, didn’t find the long-anticipated opportunity or treasure. Instead, seeing Liu Jinhu’s cold smile wanting to sneak away, prompted them to act.
"There’s simply no treasure or opportunity here, get out of my way!"
Liu Jinhu was startled, then angrily shouted.
"Don’t let him leave. If he escapes, it’ll be hard to get the opportunity or treasure from him again."
An old man with one eye in the crowd shouted.
He came in to fish in troubled waters with the crowd, and seeing the scene in the Underground Palace, he already had his answer. But recalling how Liu Jinhu and Xiao Zhan once troubled him in the Black Market, he took this chance to incite everyone to teach Liu Jinhu a lesson.
"You dare come back, tired of living."
Liu Jinhu immediately recognized the one-eyed old man, his anger flaring as he thought the one-eyed old man and Uncle Fu were both Demon Sect members, always troubling him, so he couldn’t contain himself and attacked the one-eyed old man first.
"The item is in his clothes!"
"It’s a golden saying left by a true person, I saw it, it’s a scroll."
The one-eyed old man calmly pointed at Liu Jinhu’s chest, shouting convincingly.
"Grab him!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
"You won’t take what the true person left behind!"
Liu Jinhu cursed aloud, getting swamped in the crowd, charging through the crowd with all his might, trying to break out.
The one-eyed elder chuckled softly, slowly backing away, took a careful look at the restrictions within the underground palace, and then left Zhenbei Prison.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Liu Jinhu seemed to go berserk, killing four Innate Powerhouses of Primordial Realm consecutively and severely injuring two masters of True Essence Realm before finally cutting a bloody path through. Disheveled and filled with resentment and anger, he dashed out of the prison and climbed onto the tallest pavilion nearby, hoping to spot the one-eyed elder.
In the end, he didn’t see a single trace and could only return to Imperial City to heal in frustration.
Successfully slaughtering his way out, the price he paid was even more severe than the injuries inflicted by Xiao Zhan. Staying near the prison, if surrounded again, would surely be a deadly trap.
Ultimately, he gained nothing and ended up heavily wounded.
Moreover, everyone believed he took the chance treasures within the underground palace; henceforth, many who face bottlenecks and cannot break through may scheme against him.
Outside the South City Gate.
Jiang Feng didn’t know Liu Jinhu had suffered such a huge loss.
The disciples of Yun Gui Sect were killed, leaving only two to escape into the Imperial City.
At this moment, where he stood, the wind was calm, and everything was fine. He couldn’t help but feel inclined to return and take a look to see what was happening over there.
"Hmm? Someone’s coming out."
"What a powerful aura."
Just as he was pondering.
More than ten figures rushed out from within Dragon Capital, easily leaping over the city walls, heading in his direction.
"Uncle Fu?"
"People from the Demon Sect."
"Better hide!"
Jiang Feng saw Uncle Fu.
Immediately, he concealed his aura, blending into the world, hiding within the grass, making it impossible for anyone to detect him.
"Hiss!"
On Old Demon Child’s shoulder, a Chong Ghost let out a ghostly screech.
"Who’s hiding over there?"
Old Demon Child gathered information from the mouth of the Chong Ghost.
From afar, he slashed toward Jiang Feng’s hiding place.
"Oh, come on!"
Jiang Feng shouted in surprise, truly disaster struck from the skies.
He didn’t expect that hiding well would still lead to detection.
He only intended to avoid them.
Seeing the black blade light filled with Chong Ghosts baring claws and fangs, he hurriedly dodged aside while launching two consecutive Wind Palm strikes to counter the blade light and repel the Chong Ghost.
"Courting death!"
Old Demon Child was stunned, not expecting Jiang Feng to withstand his strike, even though from a distance, his power was not something an average Innate Powerhouse could endure.
Having suffered at the Imperial City.
He was holding a grudge.
Now, he couldn’t lose face to an Innate Powerhouse.
He must kill him.
"Master, I recognize him, he is not from Yun Gui Sect."
Uncle Fu squinted to see.
Jiang Feng had disguised himself as a rough man, yet he quickly recognized him as Jiang Feng.
"Master, I mentioned him to you; he’s just a Little Prison Chief."
Uncle Fu hurriedly said.
"Oh, good boy, not bad in strength, a good seed for my Demon Sect, come, follow me back to the Demon Sect."
Old Demon Child immediately understood.
He was hiding in the underground palace, any external news Uncle Fu would tell him, sometimes to relieve boredom, Uncle Fu would mention many people from Zhenbei Prison to him, Jiang Feng being frequently mentioned.
Little Prison Chief possessing Innate Cultivation.
Hidden and cunning.
Secretly stirring up prince disputes.
Initially hearing about him, he developed a keen interest in Jiang Feng, feeling Jiang Feng was a talent, the future rising star of the Demon Sect.
"Xiao Jiang, come with us to the Demon Sect, you have outstanding talent, calm disposition, surely great prospects."
Uncle Fu urged.
"You’ve got the wrong person."
Jiang Feng wouldn’t go with them.
Swiftly executing the Monkey Escape Technique to leave.
"Hey, don’t go!"
Uncle Fu didn’t expect Jiang Feng to resist joining the Demon Sect.
"No one can refuse my recruitment, don’t follow me back, and die!"
Old Demon Child was infuriated; Jiang Feng was too disrespectful toward him.
