Chapter 414: Got You, Kid!
The people in the city were baffled, unsure why the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign had suddenly descended or why he was so furious.
Many of the ordinary people fell to their knees trembling and begging, “Sovereign, please calm your anger!”
The cultivators didn’t dare to act out of line either, bowing respectfully to the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign in the sky.
At the city gate, Cao Zhengyu’s face turned pale and he trembled uncontrollably.
What had he done to deserve this? How had his arrival in Junlin City alarmed the Sovereign?
Jun Yunshang stood in midair, her divine sense quickly scouring the city, but she found no trace of that familiar person.
She didn’t know whether to be disappointed or relieved. She looked up and said, “Sovereign, please calm your anger!”
“That was just the sword’s bloodlust acting out. It’s not because that person appeared. We sincerely apologize for disturbing you.”
The Heavenly Fiend Sovereign, who had been awakened from his slumber, couldn’t find the familiar aura and slowly retreated.
The pair of crimson eyes in the sky gradually closed, and the oppressive pressure that had enveloped the city vanished.
But as one act ended, another began. Just as the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign left, a mysterious shower of starlight fell from the sky.
Opposite Jun Yunshang, a graceful figure appeared – a woman bathed in starlight.
The woman wore a golden robe, her entire body radiating brilliant starlight, holy and majestic, her aura as vast as the sea of stars.
“Empress Fengyao, why is the Sovereign so angry? Is there any news of that person?”
Jun Yunshang’s cold gaze fell on the woman from the Immortal Pavilion. She indifferently replied, “His sword unexpectedly went berserk and disturbed the Sovereign. That’s all.”
Yiyun’s divine sense quickly swept over Junlin City. She chuckled softly and said, “I understand. Then I won’t bother you anymore, Your Majesty.”
Her figure turned into a shower of starlight and disappeared into the air, as if her appearance had been nothing more than an illusion.
Jun Yunshang’s expression was complex as she looked at the city. Eventually, she turned into a streak of light and descended into the Imperial Palace.
She had to go to the sealed area of Zhen Yuan to find out what had happened.
Why had Zhen Yuan, who had been calm for so long, suddenly gone crazy? Could it be that he had really returned?
Junlin City was quiet again, and everything had returned to normal, as if the earlier turmoil had been nothing more than a dream.
The people looked at each other, confused by what had just happened.
Although Lin Fengmian’s heart was in turmoil, he quickly calmed down and rushed towards the downtown area.
He had to reach the downtown area of Junlin City before Cao Zhengyu could react.
At the city gate, Cao Zhengyu finally managed to enter Junlin City after waiting in line.
When he felt that Lin Fengmian was getting farther and farther away, he immediately gave chase.
Flying was forbidden in Junlin City, so he could only run along the city streets like Lin Fengmian.
As Lin Fengmian raced along the streets, the Soul Pursuit Seal on his body became hotter and hotter.
Just as the inner city gate came into view, someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.
A voice filled with gnashing of teeth and a cold laugh rang out, “Got you, kid!””
Imperial Palace, Underground Chamber
Jun Yunshang stood in mid-air in the middle of the chaotic underground chamber and looked at Zhen Yuan standing quietly.
Without Lin Fengmian’s call, Zhen Yuan had returned to its calm state, as if it hadn’t just gone berserk.
Jun Yunshang reached out and gently pressed her hand in front of Zhen Yuan and asked softly, “Did you feel something?”
Of course, Zhen Yuan couldn’t answer her. It remained silently embedded in the ground, with runes flowing across its blade.
Jun Yunshang looked at the marks on the sword and smiled bitterly, her expression incredibly complex.
Zhen Yuan was a bait set out in the open, but wasn’t she also a piece of bait?
“Even if your master returns now, if he can’t slay the Sovereign with his sword, he probably won’t be able to take you away.”
She took out the Flame Emperor Sword, tightly gripped it, and slowly ran her hand along the blade.
Golden blood dripped from her hand, transforming into golden runes in the air before falling onto Zhen Yuan.
She reinforced Zhen Yuan’s seal once again, preventing it from going berserk and triggering the seals of the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign and the Pavilion of Immortals.
“You better behave yourself. If he really does return, your actions will only get him killed.”
Looking at Zhen Yuan, now sealed by her blood, Jun Yunshang’s eyes gradually grew more determined.
Ye Xuefeng, if you really have returned from the Immortal Realm, don’t come back.
One day, I will break out of this cage and find you.
When that time comes, we’ll settle our scores properly!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
When Lin Fengmian heard the voice filled with deep resentment, he wasn’t alarmed – instead, he was overjoyed.
He quickly turned around and saw a woman wearing a black V-neck dress with a high slit, her ample bosom boldly on display, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Shangguan Qiong wore a black veil, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. Paired with the black dress, she looked both noble and coldly elegant.
Under the veil, her lips curled into an alluring smile as she looked at Lin Fengmian with a cold laugh.
“Kid, you’ve made me search for you for so long.”
After receiving Lin Fengmian’s message, even though she wasn’t sure if it was genuine, she didn’t dare to delay for a moment.
This kid was her and Yu’er’s last hope!
Shangguan Qiong rushed to the nearest city with a teleportation array, Hai Ning City, and spent a fortune to teleport to Junlin City.
The exorbitant teleportation fee made her heart ache.
If Lin Fengmian was playing her for a fool, she’d skin him alive when she caught up with him.
But just like Cao Zhengyu, Junlin City was struck by a sudden disturbance the moment she arrived.
After the disturbance subsided, Shangguan Qiong relied on the scent of the Lingering Poison Insect to catch the kid running wildly toward the inner city gate.
She had expected him to panic, but instead, he looked at her with teary eyes and hugged her excitedly.
“Sect Leader, I’ve missed you so much! You’ve finally come!”
Shangguan Qiong was stunned, staring blankly as Lin Fengmian buried his face in her chest, rubbing back and forth, unable to react.
Lin Fengmian enjoyed the moment of “washing his face” in her bosom, thinking about how safe he felt in her embrace.
After a while, Shangguan Qiong finally snapped out of it and pushed away the kid who had taken advantage of the situation.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Lin Fengmian, stop pretending to be crazy and foolish. Do you think you can fool me?”
Lin Fengmian glanced regretfully at his “facial cleanser” and sighed.
“Sect Leader, I’m not pretending. This Cao Zhengyu is about to catch up.”
Upon hearing Cao Zhengyu’s name, Shangguan Qiong looked around and quickly pulled Lin Fengmian toward downtown.
As they moved, she asked in a low voice, “Is that guy alone?”
“Yes, he’s been chasing after the airship for two days now. Even if he has others with him, they probably couldn’t keep up,” Lin Fengmian replied.
Shangguan Qiong’s eyes lit up and she asked urgently, “You’re saying he’s been chasing the airship for two days?”
Lin Fengmian understood her meaning and nodded his head. “He’s been running at full speed without a break.”
Shangguan Qiong’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Come with me!”
She grabbed Lin Fengmian and the two of them turned into a streak of light, speeding through Junlin City.
Moments later, they quickly flew out of the northern city gate, leaving Junlin City behind.
Cao Zhengyu, who was chasing after Lin Fengmian with the mark, was stunned for a moment.
Has this kid lost his mind?
He dares to fly out of the city?
Is he trying to play tricks?
Without any hesitation, Cao Zhengyu chased after them.
Kid, no matter what tricks you’re playing, your next stop will be hell!
