Chapter 272 Intimidating the Demons
Qin Zhongshan's resentment towards Lin Fei was a long-standing issue, not something that had arisen overnight.
He was the most outstanding young figure among the eight evil paths, a potential future Demon Emperor, and even the Demon Masters held him in high regard. It could be said that Qin Zhongshan had been virtually invincible since embarking on the path of cultivation, overcoming countless obstacles. However, he repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of Lin Fei, as if Lin Fei were his natural nemesis.
The proud and arrogant Qin Zhongshan was naturally unconvinced. Now that this kid had transformed into the emperor of Southern Tang, Qin Zhongshan was even more displeased. He decided to show the kid his power before the enthronement ceremony officially began. After all, once the enthronement ceremony officially started, all the righteous people in the world would gather, and even Qin Zhongshan would have to restrain himself at that time.
The people who came with Qin Zhongshan this time were all elites among the elites of the eight evil paths, carefully selected and trained by the demon master. Qin Zhongshan believed that with his current strength, he would definitely make that guy look bad.
He turned to a woman in white and asked, "Bai Lian, I heard that when you were chasing Ji Lianxing that day, you saw that kid once. What is that kid's cultivation level now?"
What worried Qin Zhongshan the most was that Lin Fei had obtained some tremendous benefit from the Three Sovereigns Ruins, allowing his cultivation to advance greatly. And those treasures in the Three Sovereigns Ruins should rightfully belong to Qin Zhongshan.
The person Qin Zhongshan asked was the newly appointed Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect. Her face remained expressionless as she calmly replied, "Young Master Zhongshan, because we were in the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I was wary of his status and did not engage him in battle. Therefore, I cannot say for sure what his current strength is."
The people from the Eight Paths of Evil this time were all young talents personally selected by the Demon Master from among the eight paths, and many of them were even people Qin Zhongshan had never seen before. If someone had spoken to Qin Zhongshan in such a tone before, he would have been furious. But now, Qin Zhongshan simply nodded and said, "Alright, let's go and see what kind of skills this kid has now!"
……
Qin Zhongshan led a group of unorthodox people straight to the prince's residence where Lin Fei was currently staying. Of course, Lin Fei had already received the news as soon as they entered the capital.
When the group arrived outside the prince's residence, the gates were wide open, but there was no one to greet them. Even the soldiers and guards standing guard at the gate had been removed by Lin Fei.
"It seems the Southern Tang emperor knew we were coming all along!" the fat monk sneered. "It seems this young emperor doesn't take us seriously at all! He doesn't even have a single guard. We've really been underestimated!"
"Hmph, I'd like to see just how capable this Southern Tang emperor really is!" A man with bloodshot eyes stepped forward and suddenly shouted, "The Eight Paths have come to pay their respects to the new ruler of Southern Tang. Please show yourself!"
His roar unleashed visible ripples of crimson spiritual energy that spread towards the prince's residence. This person was also someone who had opened up all seven orifices and reached the Seven Orifices Exquisite Realm.
This roar also has a name, called "Blood Demon Chaos Sound", which is a martial art of the Blood Slaughter Sect among the eight evil sects. Those who hear this sound will have their minds affected. At best, they will fall into a state of madness and bloodlust, and at worst, they will die from blood flowing backward and bleeding from all seven orifices.
The purpose of this Blood Demon Chaos roar was to demonstrate his abilities.
A voice, as loud as thunder, immediately rang out from within the prince's residence: "Before the official commencement of the enthronement ceremony, I will not receive any guests. Please return!"
This single sound actually brought the previous Blood Demon Chaos Sound back to life. The Blood Slaughter Sect expert's face flushed red, and he staggered back several steps, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".
"What formidable cultivation!" The Blood Slaughter Sect expert clutched his chest, his face pale. He had intended to use the Blood Demon Soul-Disrupting Sound to intimidate Lin Fei, but he hadn't expected to be no match for Lin Fei at all. He had been severely injured by Lin Fei's thunderous tongue.
The others who witnessed this scene dared not underestimate Lin Fei in the slightest.
"His tongue is like thunder in spring, his voice like a thread, what a formidable figure!" Another person stepped forward, holding a long sword in his hand, and said, "However, we have come from afar. If we are not even allowed to see them, wouldn't that be a breach of hospitality?"
As he spoke, the longsword in his hand flashed, drawing a huge red "kill" character in the air: "Destroy the Dao Sect, Feng Buping, please enlighten me!"
As the man walked out, a murderous glint flashed in Qin Zhongshan's eyes—this man was a newly promoted expert at the Acupoint Realm in the Extinction Dao Sect, and he wasn't particularly convinced of his abilities. He was a hidden threat to Qin Zhongshan, the young master of the Extinction Dao Sect.
The blood-red character for "kill" grew larger and larger until it shot out towards the prince's residence. If the prince's residence were hit by this character, at least half of it would be destroyed.
Just then, a cold snort rang out from inside the mansion: "A mere trick, yet you dare to make a fool of yourself before me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light also shone from the prince's residence. That sword light was as bright as the sun, and the blood-red character for "kill" instantly dissolved into the sun-like sword light.
And that's not all. A sword light surged toward Feng Buping, its sharp sword energy seemingly about to devour him whole.
Feng Buping's expression changed, and he hurriedly used his sword to block. With a few soft clanging sounds, the long sword in his hand was actually shaken into several pieces by the sword energy and fell to the ground.
The sword light vanished, and Feng Buping's face turned pale, his previous sharp and imposing demeanor completely gone—because he clearly realized that if the person in the mansion hadn't stopped in time, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.
He and the person who had just unleashed the sword light were on completely different levels. To rashly come and provoke them was simply insane.
At this moment, Lin Fei's voice drifted back from within the mansion once more: "Brother Qin, if you wish to test my abilities, the opportunity will naturally arise once the ascension ceremony begins. For today, Brother Qin, please return! I have already prepared lodgings for you in the Tongtian Pavilion. Brother Qin, you should go and stay there first!"
Qin Zhongshan's expression was uncertain. He knew Lin Fei had already opened the Heavenly Gate, and although his group was powerful, they were no match for him. However, he never expected Lin Fei to be this powerful, able to defeat two Seven Aperture Exquisite cultivators without even revealing himself. His strength far exceeded Qin Zhongshan's expectations.
