308: The way home

With the fall of the Flame Demon Heavenly King, the Flame Demon Clan, one of the One Hundred and Eight Clans of the Weird, completely became dust in history.

Perhaps a small number of clever Flame Demons escaped during this process, but they were merely stray dogs, no longer able to form a significant threat.

Night fell.

Inside the Holy City, lights blazed brightly.

Countless natives in the city were celebrating this hard-won victory. This was a scene they had fantasized about for countless days and nights, never expecting that one day, their dream would actually come true.

Many wept tears of joy, laughing wildly in the streets. At the same time, quite a few knelt devoutly before the palace at the highest point of the Holy City, mumbling words, as if giving thanks for something.

Above the palace, Lin Yang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the joyous scene in the city below. The contrast with the fear and unease of the people when he first arrived was like heaven and earth, and he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Just then, a fragrant breeze drifted from behind him, gently placing a loose robe onto his shoulder.

"Young Master, with matters here concluded, you must be leaving soon, right?"

Xiao Rongyu walked over slowly, returning the robe Lin Yang had lent her for cover, and asked softly.

"Mm."

Lin Yang nodded noncommittally. Now that the Flame Demon disaster was eradicated and the three lives stone was in hand, there wasn't much point in staying here any longer.

"Oh."

Hearing this unsurprising response, Xiao Rongyu's pretty face couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, as expected.

Seeing the hint of disappointment on Xiao Rongyu's face, Lin Yang thought for a moment and placed a jade token into her hand.

"After I leave, if other powerful enemies invade again, you can send me a message through this jade token."

Cross-realm voice transmission, this was a method of a Heavenly Immortal expert. The previous Lin Yang was only Earth Immortal Great Perfection, and did not yet possess such ability.

But after fighting with the Flame Demon Heavenly King, the surviving heroes of the Sea of All Things used their last strength to help Lin Yang Breakthrough that barrier, successfully advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Moreover, if not for the assistance of those heroes, Lin Yang might indeed have fallen into the hands of that Flame Demon Heavenly King earlier.

To repay the kindness of those heroes, Lin Yang, shortly after the battle, forged this jade token capable of cross-realm voice transmission, which he now handed to Xiao Rongyu.

Xiao Rongyu took the jade token as if it were a treasure, and the gloom on her pretty face vanished, replaced by a refreshing smile.

"Young Master saved the sentient beings of my Sea of All Things, and now leaves behind an item to save my life. Rongyu truly has no way to repay you..."

"Could you please tell me your specific origin, Young Master! Once I settle things here, I will personally seek you out. At that time, even if I have to be your slave for life, I will repay this kindness!"

Hearing Xiao Rongyu's words, Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Little Yu, you are too polite, there's no need for that..."

However, at Xiao Rongyu's insistence, Lin Yang eventually revealed his origin... Lingxiao Heaven.

Eastern Divine Continent.

On a stone hall in a remote area, a crooked plaque reading "Yang God Hall" hung.

Inside the hall, a disheveled young man was drinking wine.

The man's face was flushed, as if he had drunk three hundred cups, and his eyes were hazy.

After another cup of strong liquor, the young man suddenly collapsed onto the table and cried loudly: "My good brother, how could you die so young..."

Just then, a graceful woman in a white dress walked in from outside the hall. Looking at the man inside, a hint of heartache flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Kunchang, drink less."

"Feifei, don't blame me, Big Brother is dead, my heart hurts..."

This man and woman were none other than Ji Kunchang and Bai Feifei.

Previously, after Lin Yang was burned by karmic fire and disappeared from the Shen Clan Immortal Clan, Ji Kunchang and the others thought Lin Yang had been reduced to ashes by the karmic fire.

Since then, Ji Kunchang's temperament had changed drastically. He lost his ambition, neglected his Cultivation, and spent his days drowning himself in alcohol, unable to extricate himself.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, Ji Kunchang leaped like a tiger, pinning Bai Feifei beneath him.

Seeing this, Bai Feifei was slightly startled at first, then slowly closed her eyes, preparing to silently endure Ji Kunchang's outburst.

By now, this had almost become their daily routine.

The Ji Kunchang who once vowed to conquer the world with his good brother was gone forever.

It was as if living a drunken dream in this remote place was their ultimate destination.

Thump! Thump!

Just then, a dull thud of footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Ji Kunchang, the Immortal Alliance Elders have said that the establishment of a divine hall requires the Immortal Alliance's approval. For the sake of the Moonlight Divine Hall, we have been patient with you time and again. Now, quickly take down this broken plaque. Do you really think we have good tempers?"

A middle-aged man in a Daoist robe, accompanied by two white-robed guards, walked slowly from outside the hall. Each step he took was like a drumbeat, deafening.

All three were masters, and the leading middle-aged man was even an Emperor Realm Peak existence!

Hearing the shout, the two inside the hall hastily dressed and were about to go out when they saw the middle-aged man ordering the two white-robed guards to take down the plaque inscribed with the words "Yang God Hall."

"Put it down, you hear me! Establishing my own force in the Upper Realm was my Big Brother's dying wish. Whoever dares to touch this plaque will pay with their life!"

Ji Kunchang roared, charging out, his dual pupil power bursting forth, shooting out two beams of light that directly knocked the two white-robed guards flying.

"Ji Kunchang, how dare you! You dare to lay hands on someone from my Immortal Alliance. Even if this Venerable One kills you today, no one will have anything to say!"

The middle-aged man was furious at this sight. He immediately struck out with a palm, raising a fierce gale that sent Ji Kunchang flying back into the hall, where he crashed heavily.

"Feeble and incompetent!"

The Daoist-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly, strode forward, and personally took down the plaque inscribed with "Yang God Hall."

Looking at the words "God Hall" on it, the Daoist-robed middle-aged man casually glanced at the fallen Ji Kunchang, then sneered coldly, "A place without even a single Immortal, yet it fantasizes about establishing a divine hall. Truly a fool's dream, only inviting ridicule!"

Crack~

With that, the Daoist-robed middle-aged man slowly applied force with both hands, intending to snap the plaque in half.

"I'll fuck your mom!"

Seeing the glaring cracks appear on the plaque, Ji Kunchang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared.

This was a phrase his good Big Brother Lin Yang had taught him before: when encountering an unbeatable opponent, unleash this phrase.

Although he still didn't understand what it meant, in this situation, Ji Kunchang instinctively shouted it out.

"Hmm?"

The Daoist-robed middle-aged man paused at the words, looking coldly at Ji Kunchang.

He also didn't understand the meaning of that phrase, but from Ji Kunchang's ferocious expression, it clearly wasn't anything good.

"You're courting death!"

The Daoist-robed middle-aged man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a sinister grin, he directly hurled the plaque, sending it fiercely towards Ji Kunchang's forehead.

On the plaque, there was a dense ball of light, emanating an extremely dangerous glow.

This was the Daoist-robed middle-aged man's technique; if it hit, Ji Kunchang would either die or be severely injured today.

Evidently, Ji Kunchang's actions just now had enraged him, and he wanted to teach Ji Kunchang a lesson.

"Do not harm my husband!"

Just then, Bai Feifei suddenly stepped forward, blocking in front of Ji Kunchang.

"No! Feifei, get out of the way!"

Ji Kunchang's pupils instantly widened. Bai Feifei was carrying his child in her belly.

This strike could very well result in two deaths from one body.

Ji Kunchang endured the intense pain, scrambled up, and rushed forward, pulling Bai Feifei into his embrace.

However, at this moment, the plaque was already close, about to strike both of them simultaneously.

The power of a Great Emperor Peak expert striking in anger was unimaginable.

Even if the two of them combined their strength, they would undoubtedly pay a heavy price today.

"Feifei, I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being so useless!"

At this moment, Ji Kunchang was filled with regret. What had he been doing all this time?

Since Big Brother's death, he had wasted his days neglecting Cultivation, indulging in wine and women, and now he had even implicated his wife and child in suffering.

Was he even a man?

"Big Brother, if you have a spirit in heaven, please help your little brother one more time!" Ji Kunchang called out Lin Yang's name in his heart.

Buzz!

Just then, the space beside them suddenly rippled violently. A fair, slender hand reached out from within, swiftly grabbing the plaque like lightning, holding it firmly.

Following closely, a familiar voice emerged, sending shockwaves through the hearts of Ji Kunchang and Bai Feifei.

"A mere Immortal Alliance Great Emperor dares to lay hands on my brother. Get back! Call your Immortal Alliance Leader!"
