Chapter 2387 - 2386: Immortal King Star in Trouble
On Penglai Island, Long Fei prepared a grand sea burial for Mu Hong, Ape Daoist, and Fisherman Daoist, collecting their remains.
All the Jade Island disciples gathered on the beach, solemnly standing with their eyes fixed on a drifting wooden raft in the sea.
Disciples from Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island all knelt on the ground, crying loudly, "Master Ancestors, your great revenge is fulfilled!"
Back then, when the Demon Race attacked the Three Islands, they not only killed the three but also made specimens of their skin and flesh to flaunt on the islands.
Long Fei watched them as the raft floated into the distance, holding a flaming arrow and shooting it towards the raft.
The rain of arrows carried flames, cutting a fiery path in the air and landing on the raft, igniting a raging fire.
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
Those who die at sea shall return to the sea.
"Rest in peace! I will carry on your orthodoxies; though you fell in battle, Penglai Three Islands will not perish."
Long Fei whispered to the flames, drew his longsword, and leading the disciples, shouted aloud, "I swear not to be human unless the Demon Race is destroyed!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"..."
The gleam of swords is like a forest, and the roar like thunder.
On Penglai Island, a burst of metal clashing was heard.
On the other side of the starry sky, the fires of war engulfed the land, plunging vast territories into slaughter.
On Immortal King Star, in the Celestial Realms Continent where Heaven-Piercing Palace is located.
The dark Demon Army surrounded the ground tightly, like an iron barrel.
The attack this time gathered elites from all walks of the Demon Race; nine Demon Lords came alone.
The ancients who were in seclusion everywhere on Immortal King Star all emerged, with clan leaders of various families, each over thirty or forty thousand years old, now donning armors.
Immortal King Star Monarch, Heaven-Piercing Palace Master Zhang Ziling presided over the Celestial Realms City, coordinating various forces.
Yaochi Sacred Land, Broad Cold Palace, all sent people to support.
Zhang Ziling personally received them, casually chatted about Long Fei’s matters.
Yaochi Sacred Land was overseen by Wu Xingyun, Zhang Ziling knew, Wu Xingyun had ventured far into Exotic Lands and gained fortune there, elevating his cultivation level explosively, now becoming an expert at the early Mahayana Realm.
In Wu Xingyun’s age, few could reach the Mahayana Realm.
Those reclusive elders, each at three or four thousand years old, were merely at the Mahayana Realm level.
Human Race Supreme doesn’t appear, so the Demon Race ran rampant.
Broad Cold Palace was led by Chang Xi, whose cultivation level had also rapidly grown over the years.
She likewise had gone to outer realms and returned not long ago.
Compared to Wu Xingyun, her progress was even more swift, already at the mid-stage Mahayana Realm.
Zhang Ziling’s loose-fitting gown still couldn’t hide the bulging belly inside.
With Li Jinxuan’s assistance, she came over, nodded and greeted Wu Xingyun’s and Chang Xi’s teams, cheerfully saying, "Thank you both for coming to help, I’m overburdened with matters, kept you both waiting awhile, please forgive me."
Wu Xingyun, seeing her speak humbly, felt joyful inside and said, "What toiled you speak of, you at the front lines resisting the Demon Race are the ones laboring. Us from Heaven-Piercing Palace, Broad Cold Palace, and Yaochi Sacred Land are intertwined and mutually dependent. If you lose, how can we fare better?"
Chang Xi followed with, "That’s right; at this juncture, our three families must join hands to resist the Demon Race."
"Exactly!"
Zhang Ziling nodded and sat down, asking Wu Xingyun, "Master, I’ve heard you went to the Exotic Lands some time ago; any news of my husband, Long Fei?"
Wu Xingyun and Chang Xi exchanged glances, nodding, "Yes, but it’s not good news."
Upon their return, Long Fei was still resisting the Demon Race in the Chaotic Sea, so rumors spread across the Star Domain that Long Fei was dead.
Zhang Ziling’s heart trembled as she inquired, "What happened?"
Wu Xingyun looked at Chang Xi, saying, "Chang Xi sister, I’m not good with words, you tell."
Chang Xi, lost in thought, said, "It’s said that Long Fei, leading others, went to the Ancient Heavenly Court seeking fortune. Yet, the Ancient Heavenly Court mysteriously exploded, forming a gigantic Chaotic Sea. All cultivators inside perished, even thousands of Celestial Venerables died, none came out. I also investigated for a long time on Tianshu Star before returning."
Zhang Ziling’s belly suddenly hurt, clutching the Dragon Chair, slightly sweating, said, "He carries great fortune, certainly he’ll be fine."
Behind Wu Xingyun, two female disciples began crying.
They were Su Yiyi and Wang Xiaoyun, who once met Long Fei in the Exotic Lands.
Later, they followed Wu Xingyun to the Yaochi Sacred Land on Yaoguang Star, and never met Long Fei again.
Wu Xingyun glanced at the two, lightly scolding, "Why cry; life and death are preordained. This time, the Demon Calamity descends, perhaps we’ll all perish. If there’s the Netherworld, we’ll meet then?"
Su Yiyi and Wang Xiaoya quickly shut up, thinking Master was indeed straightforward.
Zhang Ziling steadied her True Qi, said, "Let’s leave this aside, I believe he will return alive."
She instructed Li Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, find them a place to stay. Once all various elders and generals arrive, we’ll then deliberate a solid defense plan."
Li Jinxuan nodded, promptly directed Wu Xingyun and Chang Xi’s teams to withdraw.
Unable to hold back, Zhang Ziling covered her belly, reddening the eyes, quietly sobbed, "Where are you, I’m holding on here, feeling so hard, I’m afraid I can’t endure."
On Jade Island, Long Fei chose a good spot for the Star-Devouring Tree to root down, suddenly his finger twitched.
He abruptly opened his eyes, looking towards Immortal King Star.
Lin Yingying, guarding by his side, seeing his demeanor, quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Long Fei said, "Immortal King Star might be in trouble."
Lin Yingying knew, he worried about Zhang Ziling on Immortal King Star.
She didn’t get jealous; over the years, any jealousy evaporated.
She suggested to Long Fei, "If you must go, I’ll guard here for you."
Long Fei gazed at her, grasped her hand, said, "I’ve wronged you all these years."
Lin Yingying smiled gently, "Wronged how, I can at least see you. Compared to Little Ya, I’m much better off. That time, you were indeed ruthless, sending her alone to the Exotic Lands. If it were me, I’d certainly be reluctant."
Long Fei tousled her hair, embraced her closely.
The tactless Star-Devouring Tree suddenly piped up, "Master, I’m ready. Just need you to guide the direction."
Long Fei released Lin Yingying, took out the Eastern Emperor Bell and Xuanyuan Sword from the Storage Ring, handed them to Lin Yingying, "No suitable Magical Treasure for now, here are these two. If a Demon Lord comes, with these you can easily slaughter them."
Lin Yingying raised an eyebrow, "You won’t need them?"
Long Fei stood up, confident laughter, "To deal with these petty Demon Lords, don’t need these. These two things reserved for future God slaying."
