Chapter 317 Rescue

Chapter 317

Upon hearing Lin Fei's voice, Yuan Yi and Yuan Wu suddenly opened their eyes.

Yuan Yi thought she had misheard, after all, Lin Fei had long been expelled from the Jade Emperor Sect, so how could he appear in this place now?

But when Yuanyi opened his eyes, he found that the person standing in front of him was indeed his disciple who had long been expelled from the sect.

A look of excitement first appeared on Yuan Yi's face, but then her expression darkened, and she sighed, "How... how did you get caught up in here too?"

Yuanwu flew into a rage and said, "Didn't the old man already tell us that as long as we were willing to be tortured, he would let you go? Did Yuanzhen, that petty-minded man, take it upon himself to go down the mountain and capture you?"

It turns out that the two of them believed that Lin Fei had been captured by the Jade Emperor Sect and imprisoned in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm.

Lin Fei explained to the two, "Master, I wasn't captured by the Jade Emperor Sect. Instead, I reached an agreement with the Sect Leader. It was the Sect Leader who allowed me to enter the Stone Tablet Demon Realm."

Yuan Yi frowned and asked, "Oh? The Sect Leader let you in? What exactly happened?"

Lin Fei then told Yuan Yi that he was now the emperor of Southern Tang and had reached an agreement with Master Yongcheng.

After listening, Yuan Yi's expression was complicated. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I never imagined that you would become the ruler of a country so soon after we parted!"

"Master, this is not the place to talk. Let me rescue you two first." Lin Fei said, and was about to start rescuing the two from the lotus platform.

Before Lin Fei could make a move, Yuan Yi hurriedly said, "Don't act rashly, this lotus platform is extremely dangerous!"

Yuanwu, who was standing to the side, quickly said, "Kid, we appreciate your kindness. The black energy on this lotus platform has the effect of corroding a cultivator's cultivation. Even with our combined cultivation, we can't do anything about it. Don't waste your energy. You might accidentally get yourself involved."

Lin Fei carefully sensed it and, just as the two had said, the black energy on the lotus platform had the effect of corroding a cultivator's cultivation.

The black aura on this lotus platform appears to originate from the same source as the demonic aura within the demon realm.

The demonic energy within the Demon Realm of the stone tablet already has the effect of suppressing cultivators' cultivation levels. However, the demonic energy emanating from this lotus platform is far more concentrated than that of the Demon Realm itself. It seems this thing was specially created by the Demon Lord to deal with powerful outsiders like Yuan Yi and Yuan Wu.

However, this thing, which is difficult for others, is not difficult for Lin Fei.

Through the information transmitted to him by the divine soul of the True Martial Emperor, Lin Fei already knew the essence of the demonic energy in the Demon Realm of this stone tablet—it was the force that caused that great chaos in ancient times.

The True Martial Emperor created the Six Paths Incarnation Technique precisely to deal with this power that ordinary cultivators could not handle.

However, later, due to some unknown accident, the ancient demonic sect still caused the ancient gods to perish one after another, and the ancient era came to a complete end.

The True Martial Emperor also sealed the demonic energy that had disrupted the Six Paths of Reincarnation into six stone tablets, which were then passed down along with the Six Paths Incarnation Technique.

It can be said that the Six Paths Incarnation Technique is the best way to deal with these demonic energies.

Lin Fei chuckled softly, "Master, don't worry, I naturally have a way to deal with this demonic energy."

As he spoke, Lin Fei sank his divine sense into his inner world, activating the power of the primordial embryo to make contact with the black lotus platform.

Within Lin Fei's inner world, the Beast Dao Embryo emitted a strange power, drawing the black demonic energy on the lotus platform towards Lin Fei's inner world.

For the nascent soul, the black demonic energy that ordinary human cultivators feared like a tiger was like nourishing nutrients. In a short time, the surging demonic energy on the black lotus platform was completely absorbed by the nascent soul.

“This…” Yuanwu and Yuanyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that both of them were top-tier figures at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, yet even they were completely helpless against the demonic energy on the lotus platform. However, Lin Fei seemed to have resolved the demonic energy with minimal effort.

After a long silence, Yuanwu suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile, "Senior brother, you've really taken on a good disciple! The younger generation surpasses the older, it seems we two are truly getting old!"

Yuan Yi looked at Lin Fei with great satisfaction and sighed, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've already grown to this extent. Good, your teacher was right about you."

After rescuing Yuanyi and Yuanwu from the black lotus platform, Lin Fei formally bowed to them.

With a thud, he knelt down directly in front of the two men, burying his head on the ground: "Disciple greets Master and Uncle!"

Logically speaking, Lin Fei is now the supreme ruler of a nation, and there is no need for him to perform such a grand ceremony for anyone else. Even the Jade Emperor Sect's leader, Master Yongcheng, is not worthy of such a gesture from Lin Fei.

But the two people in front of him were different; Lin Fei bowed to them so deeply, entirely of his own free will.

Without Master Yuanyi's meticulous guidance and Uncle Yuanwu's instruction in the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, I wouldn't be where I am today. Not to mention, if they hadn't risked being suppressed for a hundred years to rescue me from Jade Emperor Mountain, I would probably have had my cultivation abolished long ago, and at best, I would have been imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Tower.

Seeing Lin Fei perform such a grand ceremony, Yuan Yi hurriedly helped Lin Fei up, saying, "Get up. You are no longer a disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect, but the ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom. There is no need for you to perform such a grand ceremony for us."

Yuanwu, who was standing to the side, also said, "I only taught you some skills that you didn't need back then. Your current success is entirely due to your own abilities, so you don't need to thank me."

Yuan Yi helped Lin Fei up, and Lin Fei whispered to Yuan Yi, "Uncle!"

Yuan Yi was slightly taken aback, then her expression dimmed, and she sighed, "You already know?"

Besides being Lin Fei's master, Yuan Yi was also Lin Fei's maternal uncle. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. When Lin Fei first joined the Jade Emperor Sect, Yuan Yi took special care of him and accepted him as one of only two disciples. What he valued was not Lin Fei's high cultivation talent, but the familial relationship between the two.

Lin Fei nodded and replied, "Yes, Uncle, I have already met my maternal grandfather in the capital of Southern Tang. He has already told me about your identity."

Mentioning the Divine Might Marquis Su Lie, Yuan Yi's expression darkened even more. After a long while, she asked Lin Fei, "How is he now?"

Mentioning Marquis Su Lie, Lin Fei's expression also darkened: "My grandfather has already passed away."
