Chapter 152: King of Rogue Cultivators

Daoist Priest Daoyi wanted to assassinate Emperor De.

Fortunately, the intelligence network that Emperor De established over the years was huge and it was practically all over the world. Every day, a vast amount of information would come from all over the world.

The more important pieces of information would then be reported to Emperor De.

Among them was that a member of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect walked out from the sect’s mountain and became a Mortal Realm Walker.

In the beginning, Emperor Yuan didn’t take this matter seriously.

It was just a Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, that’s all.

The current Yuhua God Dynasty was no longer the Yuhua God Dynasty from decades ago.

The Martial Temple and its countless branches had nurtured many powerhouses of the younger generation, and they were all starting to become people that the dynasty could rely on.

In recent years, Emperor De had also recruited many powerhouses of the older generation to further enrich the combat power of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Hence, the appearance of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect really wasn’t of much importance in his eyes.

But…

“Just how powerful is this Daoist Priest Daoyi?” Princess Yulin asked curiously.

“Very powerful.” Emperor De’s expression looked grave.

“How powerful?” Princess Yulin was really curious.

“As soon as the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect came into being, this Daoist priest rode an ox down the mountain and walked along the Qilu Lands. When he arrived at the sea, he split the sea with one stroke of his sword and broke the fog of that overseas immortal island,” Emperor De said.

“What immortal island?” Princess Yulin asked.

“The Penglai Immortal Island!” Emperor De softly replied.

“The Penglai Immortal Island where immortals live according to the legends?”

Princess Yulin asked in surprise.

“Yes!”

“But thanks to Big Grand-Uncle destroying the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower overnight—this matter paled in comparison to what Big Grand-Uncle has done. As a result, the news didn’t make any waves, but to be honest…”

“It is a matter of utmost importance.” Emperor De solemnly explained.

“To think that he would actually find the Penglai Immortal Island that no one has been able to find all this time. Moreover, he split the sea with a single stroke of his sword and directly found it, instead of searching for it indiscriminately. That proves that he is at least capable enough…”

Princess Yulin nodded.

“The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect… How troublesome!” Emperor Yuan frowned deeply.

“Brother Emperor, you just have to protect yourself well. This Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect won’t have the guts to assassinate you here inside the Imperial Capital!” Princess Yulin stated.

Emperor De looked calmly at Princess Yulin.

Without saying a word…

He kept on staring at her.

Princess Yulin raised an eyebrow and looked at Emperor De suspiciously.

“Don’t tell me that he’s already here?”

Emperor De sighed.

“After he split the sea with one stroke of his sword, he caught a powerful rogue cultivator overseas. He sent this rogue cultivator to come and inform me that he would come to the Imperial Capital in the near future to take my head. He also said that I should choose my successor as soon as possible.”

“He wouldn’t dare!” Princess Yu Lin’s face turned cold.

She looked valiant as she shouted coldly.

“Is the Imperial Capital of our Yuhua God Dynasty a place where he can act wantonly?” Princess Yulin added angrily.

“I will do my best in handling this problem. It’s about time to mobilize the powerhouses that I have recruited over the years,” Emperor De replied confidently.

The Yuhua God Dynasty covered a vast expanse of land and they also had a lot of excellent and special resources.

Emperor De himself took out many treasures to recruit powerhouses.

In the end, he had accumulated a large batch of powerful experts.

In addition, most of them were powerhouses from the previous era.

With this, Emperor Yuan remained confident that he could deal with the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

…

Following the ox-riding Daoist priest’s sword that split the sea, the Penglai Immortal Island appeared in the mortal realm.

Although this news was overshadowed by Lin Jiufeng’s extermination of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, some people still noticed its appearance.

It just didn’t spread like wildfire.

But every top faction and major forces in the world knew that the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect had come into being.

The Mortal Realm Walker of the current generation from their sect rode an ox to the seaside.

With a stroke of his sword, he split open the sea and opened a path to the Penglai Immortal Island that remained hidden for a very long time.

Then, this Daoist Priest Daoyi defeated a rogue cultivator overseas with a strike of his sword and sent him to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to inform Emperor De that he should establish a crown prince while he still had the time.

Moreover, he announced that he was going to kill Emperor De!

This couldn’t even be considered to be an assassination anymore.

He planned on directly going to the Imperial Capital to kill the Emperor.

This matter spread along with Lin Jiufeng’s extermination of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, causing a heated discussion among the powerhouse of the current and previous eras.

Many people began to pay attention to the Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. At the same time, they wanted to see how the Yuhua God Dynasty would respond to their blatant threat.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was in the limelight in the Jiangnan area right now.

The dynasty had wiped out a major force.

Everyone currently had their eyes on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

In the past few decades following Lin Jiufeng’s seclusion, the Yuhua God Dynasty had always kept a low profile. It didn’t stand out and quietly developed to improve itself.

Just when the sects and cultivators of the world thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn’t as powerful as it was decades ago, Lin Jiufeng came out of seclusion.

His first move shook the world and silenced the hubbubs.

Those who originally wanted to make a move on the Yuhua God Dynasty chose to remain silent. They decided to continue their observation.

The appearance of Daoist Priest Daoyi gave them hope.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was one of the major sects of the world.

It wasn’t any worse than the Quan Zhen Sect that had produced an immortal in the past.

But the Mortal Realm Walker in this generation wasn’t very famous.

Even in the previous era, Daoist Priest Daoyi didn’t have that much of a reputation.

Hence, when he appeared in the world and rode an ox down the mountain, he didn’t cause that much of a stir.

But after he split the sea with his sword and found the Penglai Immortal Island that no one had been able to find for several generations, he became famous all of a sudden.

People began to pay attention to his movements.

They also paid attention to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

All sorts of news spread like wildfire.

[The Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has reached the Shanhai Stronghold!]

[He stopped at the Shanhai Stronghold for a day. Then, he headed towards the Taihang Mountains. He is now very close to the Imperial Capital.]

[Daoist Priest Daoyi is sleeping on an ox. The green ox is walking leisurely. It will probably be more than ten days before he arrives at the Imperial Capital.]

Over the past few days, news after news had been passed around.

People gradually began to look forward to the confrontation between the two forces.

The Mortal Realm Walker seemed to be very powerful.

It made one look forward to the fight between the two titans.

The key was that no news came from the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty in the face of such a situation.

The current Emperor—Emperor De—sat steadily in the Forbidden City as if he didn’t know anything.

People looked forward to Forbidden City’s response.

Just as Daoist Priest Daoyi arrived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, the Imperial Capital responded.

[The King of Rogue Cultivators from the previous era, Li Chengfeng, left the Imperial Capital and is now headed for the Taihang Mountains.]

As soon as this news came out, the entire cultivation world boiled over.

“Li Chengfeng, he is a big shot! How was he recruited by the Yuhua God Dynasty?”

“I’m also very curious. Li Chengfeng has been a lone wolf all his life. He didn’t join any organization and is regarded as the King of Rogue Cultivators. Every major sect and faction couldn’t do anything about him, so why would he join the Yuhua God Dynasty?”

“Li Chengfeng also wants to maintain his reputation as the King of Rogue Cultivators, but he really has no choice. The Yuhua God Dynasty has tempted him too much.”

“The Yuhua God Dynasty has a lot of treasures and resources in their hands. If the Yuhua God Dynasty offered me the same as they did to Li Chengfeng, I will be willing to help them too.”

“This is going to be a good show! The King of Rogue Cultivators and the Mortal Realm Walker are about to fight. I can feel it!”

…

Following Li Chengfeng’s appearance, the cultivation world itself became fervent in their discussions.

Even Lin Jiufeng who was currently in a quaint peach blossom village in the Jiangnan area managed to hear about these recent events.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat soon understood the entire thing from the very beginning.

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng speechlessly.

Lin Jiufeng was right.

Someone was going to kill Emperor De.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat’s speechless expression and laughed out loud.

“Don’t worry, since I said that I won’t go back, I won’t go back.”
