Chapter 357 The White Bone Lady's Request
Lin Fei felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he was already in his imperial study. Everything in the system space felt like a dream. Lin Fei even doubted whether he had ever left the imperial study at all.
"It seems that the system space is also a kind of illusion," Lin Fei pondered. It appeared that his physical body had not left the Imperial Study, but his consciousness had entered the instance space.
Of course, even if only his consciousness enters the instance space, if he dies within it, he is truly dead. And the most terrifying aspect is that no one will likely be able to determine the cause of Lin Fei's death. With the system's miraculous methods, even a master of the level of the Hidden Sword Elder would probably be unable to discern the truth.
Lin Fei was alone in the imperial study, but as the emperor, he certainly had people outside ready to obey his orders at any time. So Lin Fei asked, "What time is it now?"
No sooner had the words been spoken than Chief Steward Wang's voice came from outside the Imperial Study: "His Majesty has been in the Imperial Study for a day and a night. This servant dares not disturb His Majesty and can only wait outside."
Only one day? I stayed in the instance space for a full seven days.
It seems that the flow of time within this instance space is completely different from that of the outside world. Only one day has passed outside, but a full seven days have passed inside the instance space.
Lin Fei stretched and stood up from his desk. Just as he was about to leave the Imperial Study, a commotion suddenly came from the storage space, as if something was trying to rush out of it.
Lin Fei's storage space had experienced similar disturbances while he was inside the dungeon. However, he was unable to open it then and ignored it. Unexpectedly, the disturbances resurfaced from within his storage space as soon as he emerged from the dungeon.
Lin Fei opened the storage space, and a flash of white light appeared, followed by a powerful aura that rushed out from within.
"It's you!" Lin Fei was also greatly surprised when he saw the figure that appeared in front of him.
Before him stood a woman with a pale face but an absolutely stunning appearance. Lin Fei recognized her—it was none other than Lady White Bone, who called herself the Great Sage of White Bones!
The White Bone Lady was severely injured by Lin Fei's heavenly lightning that day, and was even unable to maintain her human form. She then hid back in the painting she possessed, which Lin Fei had casually tossed into his storage space.
If he hadn't met Lady White Bone today, Lin Fei would probably have completely forgotten about that painting. After all, Lin Fei is busy with many matters and has no time to worry about a painting possessed by a demon.
Lin Fei was also extremely surprised to see Lady White Bone appear. You must know that she was seriously injured by Lin Fei's heavenly lightning attack. The power of heavenly lightning is inherently restraining all demons in the world, not to mention that Lady White Bone had already suffered serious injuries before, and even had to absorb the yang energy of mortals to maintain her human form.
Even if that heavenly lightning didn't completely destroy her, it would probably take her three to five hundred years to recover.
The White Bone Lady who appeared before him had not only regained her human form, but the aura emanating from her was far more powerful than when Lin Fei had seen her before. So powerful that Lin Fei felt a sense of dread.
"That's right, it's me! What, you never expected this, did you?" Lady White Bone looked at Lin Fei, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes, and said with a sneer, "You think you can take my life with your half-baked Heavenly Thunder?"
Lin Fei's heavenly lightning attack nearly obliterated Lady White Bone, so it was perfectly normal for her to hate him. Lin Fei had even secretly prepared to draw the Xuanyuan Sword to completely eradicate this demon. However, Lady White Bone showed no intention of seeking revenge. Instead, she sighed and said sadly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of seeking revenge on you, and you don't need to be so nervous."
Lady White Bone's words left Lin Fei somewhat bewildered—when did this demon become so agreeable? Back then, he had only disrupted her attempt to absorb the yang energy of mortals, yet she threatened to kill him. Now that her power had increased so much, instead of seeking revenge, was she going to invite him for tea?
Seeing Lin Fei's puzzled expression, Lady White Bone continued, "Where did you go before?"
Upon hearing Lady White Bone's question, Lin Fei's heart tightened—the system was his greatest secret, something he absolutely could not let anyone know. Could it be that Lady White Bone had sensed something in the storage space earlier?
Thinking of this, a hint of fierce killing intent was already faintly revealed on Lin Fei's body—the secret of the system must not be known to anyone. If this Lady White Bone really noticed something, Lin Fei would have no choice but to kill her to silence her.
Seemingly sensing Lin Fei's thoughts, Lady White Bone sneered repeatedly and went straight to the point: "What, do you want to silence me? Let me ask you, did you ever visit Mount Ling before?"
From Lady White Bone's words, Lin Fei could tell that rather than Lady White Bone knowing something, her tone was more like a guess, and she seemed unsure whether Lin Fei had actually been to Mount Ling.
Lin Fei asked with a stern face, "How did you know that?"
"I will never forget the stench of those stinking monks!" Lady White Bone sneered repeatedly. "Although you sealed your storage space using some unknown method, I could still faintly sense the scent of those stinking monks. Later, there was even a strong death aura mixed with Buddhist energy. As a demon cultivated from white bones, death aura is the best tonic for me. If it weren't for that powerful death aura, my injuries would probably have taken hundreds of years to recover to their current state. Judging from the intensity of that death aura, it was probably left by a stinking monk of Bodhisattva level, wasn't it?"
No wonder Lady White Bone recovered from such severe injuries; it turns out she absorbed the death energy of Lingjipusa.
Lady White Bone then asked, "Even powerful beings at the Bodhisattva level are dead. It seems the destruction of Mount Ling is indeed not just a rumor. Let me ask you, is Mount Ling already dead?"
Lin Fei didn't refute, and simply replied, "So what if it is?"
"Good riddance! Those hypocritical, stinking monks should have died long ago!" Lady White Bone suddenly revealed a half-smile on her face, seemingly pleased yet mixed with a strange sadness. Suddenly, she knelt down before Lin Fei with a "plop": "Mount Ling has been gone for countless years. I have searched for its whereabouts, but I have not found a single trace. Although I do not know how you found it, since you have found the location of Mount Ling, I have a favor to ask of you."
