Chapter 318 Escape
Upon hearing that Divine Might Marquis Su Lie had passed away, Yuan Yi was shocked and incredulous.
"What? He was a supreme master of the Celestial Realm, how could he have passed away?" Yuan Yi blurted out, asking in a trembling voice, "What exactly happened?"
Lin Fei then recounted to Yuan Yi how the Demon Master had reappeared and wreaked havoc in the capital of Southern Tang, and how Marquis Shenwei Su Lie had fought valiantly to the death to protect the Southern Tang dynasty from falling into the hands of evil.
"Demon Master!" Yuan Yi said through gritted teeth, "I will never let you live under the same sky!"
Yuan Yi was a highly skilled cultivator. Even though he was imprisoned in this Stone Tablet Demon Realm for a hundred years, he could still remain calm and composed.
Since meeting Yuan Yi, this was the first time Lin Fei had seen his master with such an expression; it was as if he wanted to devour someone.
Why Yuan Yi ran away from home to become a Taoist priest on Jade Emperor Mountain was something that her maternal grandfather, Su Lie, never mentioned to Lin Fei.
In public, whenever Yuanyi was mentioned, Grandpa Su Lie would always look disappointed and even couldn't help but curse. But in private, he would often sigh to himself, and before Lin Fei returned to the capital, he would spend his days drinking and ignoring worldly affairs.
The father-son bond between Divine Might Marquis Su Lie and Yuan Yi was still very deep. Upon hearing the news of Su Lie's death, Yuan Yi even lost control of his emotions.
Seeing that Yuan Yi was on the verge of losing control, Yuan Wu suddenly put his hand on Yuan Yi's shoulder and said, "Senior brother, guard your Dao heart and don't let your years of cultivation be lost in one day!"
The Jade Emperor Sect is a legitimate branch of Taoism, and what it fears most is an unstable Taoist heart. This is especially true for Yuan Yi's cultivation of the Taiyi Salvation Golden Body, which requires a heart full of compassion and universal salvation. If one's killing intent is too strong, one is bound to suffer from demonic possession.
Yuanwu continuously channeled his true energy into Yuanyi's body to help him stabilize his Dao heart. After a long while, Yuanyi took a deep breath and said, "Junior brother, I'm alright."
At this moment, Lin Fei spoke to Yuan Yi, saying, "Master, the reason I came up the mountain this time is to invite you to the capital of Southern Tang. Now that Southern Tang has changed dynasties, it is beset by the Northern Han Kingdom, which is eyeing us covetously, and the Eight Evil Paths are stirring up trouble within. I would like to ask you to come out of the mountains and lend me a hand."
Lin Fei came to rescue Yuan Yi, hoping to persuade her to leave Jade Emperor Mountain and become his assistant in the capital of Nantong. Especially now, in order to suppress the power of the righteous sects, he has allowed the eight heretical sects to establish themselves within the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Those unorthodox methods are all formidable, and it is precisely the time when a master like ours is needed to keep things under control.
Yuan Yi nodded noncommittally: "I'll think about it. You can stay on Jade Emperor Mountain for a few more days, and I'll give you an answer then."
Seeing that Yuan Yi was somewhat disoriented, Lin Fei did not continue speaking.
……
After rescuing his master and uncle, Lin Fei successfully completed all his objectives in coming to the Stone Tablet Demon Realm. Moreover, he had another fortuitous opportunity, obtaining the inheritance left by the ancient True Martial Emperor and learning one of the Six Paths Incarnation Techniques.
This trip to the Demon Realm has been incredibly profitable for Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stayed in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm for another two days, waiting for the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle to completely subdue the Demon Lord.
It must be said that the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle truly lived up to their reputation as ancient mythical beasts who had served the True Martial Emperor. It's unknown what methods they used, but they managed to subdue the Demon Lord in just two short days.
Finally, the Demon Lord swore an oath with his soul before Lin Fei, promising never to cause trouble behind Lin Fei's back again, and asked Lin Fei to place many restrictions on him.
This Demon Lord was a figure from the ancient times who reached the Celestial Realm. Although his cultivation is now far inferior to what it once was, he still possesses the strength of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
In particular, the demonic energy he uses has a strong restraining effect on the true energy of human cultivators. If a real fight were to break out, even a cultivator at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm would probably be no match for the Demon Lord.
With this Demon Lord as an ally, Lin Fei's subordinates' strength has increased significantly.
……
After finishing all the matters concerning the Stone Tablet Demon Realm, Lin Fei contacted Master Yongcheng through a trace left by Master Yongcheng within his soul, asking him to release him.
In fact, even without Master Yongcheng taking action, Lin Fei can now freely enter and leave this Stone Tablet Demon Realm.
The core power of this Stone Tablet Demon Realm is the power of the Animal Path Reincarnation left behind by Zhenwu, and that power has now been obtained by Lin Fei. It can be said that Lin Fei is now the true master of this Stone Tablet Demon Realm, and can travel freely within it.
However, in order not to attract too much attention or suspicion from the Jade Emperor Sect and Master Yongcheng, Lin Fei still contacted Master Yongcheng and asked him to let him out.
Meanwhile, the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle produced another stone tablet from who-knows-where. Using a secret technique left by the True Martial Emperor, they secretly transferred the space of the Demon Realm from the stone tablet into the other stone tablet.
In other words, the moment Lin Fei emerged from the Demon Realm of the Stone Tablet, the stone tablet inside the Jade Emperor Sect's Demon-Subduing Tower was already just an empty shell. The true Demon Realm had been secretly transferred to Lin Fei's own hands.
The secret technique left behind by the True Martial Emperor is extremely well-hidden and deceptive. Even a master like True Man Yongcheng, who is at the Heavenly Realm, cannot detect it.
……
At the Jade Emperor Sect, atop the Demon-Subduing Tower, Master Yongcheng and Du Qingmu once again arrived at the very top of the Demon-Subduing Tower.
The last time they came, it was to send Lin Fei into the Stone Tablet Demon Realm. This time, it's to release Lin Fei from the Stone Tablet Demon Realm.
Du Qingmu had been waiting on Jade Emperor Mountain for many days and was already quite impatient. If it weren't for the fact that Master Yongcheng's cultivation was slightly higher than his own, preventing him from forcibly breaking in, the old man would probably have already stormed into the Demon-Subduing Tower, smashed the Demon-Suppressing Stone Tablet, and rescued Lin Fei.
Therefore, upon hearing the news that Lin Fei had contacted Master Yongcheng to escape from the Demon Realm of the Stone Tablet, the old man couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly pulled Master Yongcheng up to the Demon-Subduing Tower.
At the top of the Demon-Subduing Tower, Master Yongcheng waved his hand, and the chains that had been locking the Demon-Suppressing Stone Tablet simultaneously dispersed, causing the stone tablet to gleam with light.
Before long, three figures appeared in the light.
The three people who came out of the Stone Tablet Demon Realm were Lin Fei, who had entered the Stone Tablet Demon Realm, and Yuan Wu and Yuan Yi, who had been imprisoned in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm for violating the sect rules.
Seeing Lin Fei safely escape from the Stone Tablet Demon Realm, Du Qingmu, who had been worried sick these past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
