Chapter 106: Signing-In at the Demon’s Den Has Ended!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Lin Jiufeng defeated a Demon God today, he looked at the remaining five demons and said…
“I’ll let you all out in five days.”
As soon as these words came out, the entire demon’s den fell silent at first before it completely erupted.
One by one, the demons jumped up in shock.
Even the most aloof of demons lost their composure at this moment.
They really wanted to yell and shout.
Ten years!
Ten whole years!
Did Lin Jiufeng know how they’ve spent the past ten years?
One of them would be beaten up every day.
They were all collectively humiliated every day by proxy.
They watched as Lin Jiufeng became stronger every day.
In comparison, they never got stronger at all.
They also couldn’t absorb any spiritual energy.
Were they still the strongest demons in the world?
They felt that their lives were worse than a beggar’s.
They thought that these kinds of days would continue forever without end.
But when Demon King Pingtian was released a few days ago, Lin Jiufeng also promised that he would release them soon.
But how soon was soon?
Everyone guessed as hard as they could. They made all sorts of theories, but none of them were accurate.
But compared to the hopeless days before, they now had hope.
This group of the most powerful demons of the previous era was already a little afraid of Lin Jiufeng. They only wanted to leave this demon’s den as soon as possible. They wanted to get away from Lin Jiufeng as soon as possible.
In their eyes, Lin Jiufeng was the true demon!
Today, they received Lin Jiufeng’s promise—he would release them five days later.
Five days!
The demons became excited. Some demons with ulterior motives also became restless.
Inside the demon’s den, each of them celebrated.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t pay attention to their festivities.
After he made his announcement, he closed the seal once again.
Then, he left the underground palace.
“After releasing them, we must move this palace away and reveal the true appearance of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy,” Lin Jiufeng muttered after coming out of the underground palace.
Right now, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy that Lin Jiufeng saw was akin to that of an iceberg—an iceberg whose tip was only what could be seen.
Lin Jiufeng had heard of the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy from Demon King Pingtian.
It was a place where the top powerhouses of the previous era fought to the death.
There should be quite a number of corpses buried there, Lin Jiufeng wanted to see them for himself.
In that case, he could only release the demons in the demon’s den. Otherwise, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t be able to open the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy since the demons in the demon’s den were still suppressing it.
Therefore, even if Lin Jiufeng didn’t want to accelerate the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, he would still have to let them go.
“There are still five days, there’s no need to hurry,”
Lin Jiufeng muttered to himself as he continued his peaceful routine in the Cold Palace.
…
De Ming finally arrived in the Imperial Capital.
He disguised himself as a scholar and a young master that aimed to travel around the Imperial Capital.
He acted as if he came from a rural region of the God Dynasty.
He wandered around and toured the place.
He carefully examined every inch of the land that seemed suspicious in his eyes.
But even after a day, he only managed to tour about 1/30 of the Imperial Capital.
“I should be done in about a month.” De Ming became full of energy.
From this—one could see how vast the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was—and how difficult it was to detect places with extreme negative energy.
De Ming wasn’t alone.
Some people came to the imperial capital on the same day as him.
They were people from the demonic sects.
Not one, but a group.
The people of the demonic sects had been quite active in the past.
Following the emergence of Demon King Jiao and Demon King Dapeng that shocked the entire world, these people had also become arrogant as they cheered for the Seven Great Sages.
They thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty would finally be suppressed this time and they could finally restore the prestige of the demonic sects.
But who would have thought that Lin Jiufeng’s move would be so earth-shattering that he immediately shattered the ambitions of the demonic sects?
The demonic sects of this era hated Lin Jiufeng to the bone.
It was understandable since Lin Jiufeng had repeatedly destroyed their plans.
The first time was decades ago—before Emperor Yuan had succeeded the throne.
At that time, there were still very few Martial Sages in the world.
The battle at the top of the Forbidden City should’ve been the catalyst for the rise of the demonic sects, but it was stopped by Lin Jiufeng.
Then, next was during the conflict between the dynasty and the vassal lords supported by the demonic sects.
The result was that the vassal lords were annihilated by Lin Jiufeng.
Then, it was Demon King Jiao’s turn.
But he was instantly defeated by Lin Jiufeng.
Thus, the latter had destroyed the demonic sects’ plans once more.
The demonic sects themselves were tired of the repeated destruction of their plans.
“We have to find the demons and wake them up. This is the only way that I can see for us to save our demonic sects from decline,” A man with a hooked nose said firmly inside a house within the Imperial Capital.
There were more than ten people from different demonic sects around him.
They all watched him talk with solemn looks on their faces.
Although they came from different factions, they had a common goal.
Find the demon’s den that contained their seniors in the demonic path. Then, they would wake them up to save the demonic sects from ruin.
“Have you confirmed the exact location of that demon’s den?” A demonic man asked.
“Yes, it’s in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy!”
“We have been searching for the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the past few years…”
“But it’s really unexpected that such an evil place would actually be directly beneath the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
“In other words, the demon’s den is just below the imperial capital. As long as we awaken the demons inside, the entire Imperial Capital might instantly be wiped out and be completely destroyed,” a demonic man muttered in excitement.
“We cannot be careless! The Yuhua God Dynasty’s guardian is in this city. If he discovers us, then our plan will all be for naught.” A senior warned them.
“We all know that. Today, I met an arrogant young master. I didn’t even make a move and I have had to let him bully me. When we’ve awakened our demon seniors, I will go and slaughter his entire family,” A man with a grim-looking face said ferociously.
“That’s how it should be. Let’s bear with it for the time being and not cause any trouble. When our demon seniors come out, we will take our revenge.” The man with a hooked nose praised the others.
“Everyone, we should stay in the Imperial Capital and do our search as carefully as we can. We have to find the Land of Extreme Negative Energy as soon as possible.” Finally, the man with the hooked nose encouraged everyone.
Then, he got everyone to disperse and instructed them to contact each other if there was anything of importance.
The entire Imperial Capital had a population of tens of millions.
The dozen or so of them were just like adding drops of water in the sea.
They were simply inconspicuous.
On the first day, they started searching around the Imperial Capital.
Sometimes, De Ming would come across a demonic cultivator with a malicious look on his face.
However, he realized that the other party only looked ferocious.
The latter even nodded at him in a friendly manner.
De Ming nodded back as well.
He couldn’t help but sighed and said, “I really can’t judge a book by its cover in the future.”
The next day, everyone continued their search.
The Imperial Capital was still operating as usual.
On the third day, there was nothing unusual.
On the fourth day, the people scouring the Imperial Capital became busy with their own matters while searching meticulously in the capital.
And on the fifth day, those that participated in the search felt a sense of foreboding.
But they couldn’t put this feeling into words.
They felt awful.
They stopped their search for the demon’s den.
Instead, they began to search for the reason why their hearts felt terrible.
The fifth day was also Lin Jiufeng’s last day of signing in.
He resisted the urge to sign in during the day and waited until the night before he went to the underground palace to open the seal.
After opening it this time, Lin Jiufeng had no intention of sealing it again.
The final demon of the three thousand plus demons was a woman.
Lin Jiufeng hadn’t defeated her just yet.
Lin Jiufeng thought that everyone had intentionally placed her last seeing that she looked weak and fragile. But in reality, she was the founder of this demon’s den.
She was also the one who invited Demon King Pingtian to construct this demon’s den.
The demon’s den started with her and it was also about to end with her.
