Chapter 444: Truly Rich!
Inside the Holy Emperor’s Palace, Lin Fengmian’s sword qi surged around him, and no one dared to block his path. They could only gather troops outside and plan to set up formations to trap him.
As he rampaged through the palace, destroying everything in his wake, Lin Fengmian searched for the Moon Shadow Dynasty’s treasury and the escaped Fu Dayong.
If that old eunuch is hiding in some unknown corner and performing a blood sacrifice, things could get really messy!
With the help of the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi, Lin Fengmian’s divine sense swept across the vast palace, quickly locating two areas that his divine sense couldn’t penetrate.
He released his Evil God Domain and instantly appeared at one of the locations, destroying the formation inside with a single sword strike.
However, it wasn’t the Moon Shadow Treasury as he had expected. Instead, it was a secret underground prison.
Inside the prison, a number of powerful humans and demons were imprisoned, and when they saw Lin Fengmian, they all called out for help.
Since Lin Fengmian was here to cause trouble anyway, he was happy to make things even more chaotic.
With a single sword strike, he shattered all the prison cells, releasing the humans and demons inside.
The prisoners, now free, began to howl and kill the guards, creating a scene of utter chaos.
“Kid, thank you for freeing me! As a reward, I’ll make you my meal!”
One of the foolish prisoners howled as he lunged at Lin Fengmian, only to be instantly cut down by his sword.
Lin Fengmian coldly scanned the crowd and said, “I can release you, and I can kill you as well.”
“A Sword Saint?!”
This single sword stroke intimidated everyone, and no one dared to challenge him again, so they quickly fled the scene.
“Thank you, Sword Saint, for saving us!”
Some of the prisoners were still lucid. Among them was a scar-faced man from the Void Realm who solemnly bowed to Lin Fengmian.
“Zuo Pingzhi of Junyan thanks the Sword Saint. May I ask your esteemed name?”
Lin Fengmian waved his hand dismissively. “Who I am is none of your business. Just leave quickly.”
The scarred man solemnly said, “If the Sword Saint needs anything in the future, please send a message to the Taotie Association. Pingzhi will do everything in his power to assist you!”
He transformed into a streak of light and fled, leaving Lin Fengmian deep in thought.
A member of the Taotie Association?
But time was tight, and he didn’t have the luxury to dwell on it. He turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared, arriving at the other place.
This place was also underground, right under the Holy Emperor’s Palace. It was a hidden underground palace protected by a powerful formation.
The gates of the palace were tightly closed, and two stone statues stood guard at the entrance. As Lin Fengmian approached, they quickly came to life, emitting a powerful aura.
“This is the Moon Shadow Treasure Palace. Leave immediately!”
Lin Fengmian was surprised that even the dragon qi around him didn’t work here. He had no choice but to strike out with his sword, attacking the two stone statues.
Though the statues resisted for a few moments, they were eventually shattered by Lin Fengmian’s sword and fell to pieces.
Lin Fengmian began to attack the formation protecting the treasury. From inside, Fu Dayong’s voice rang out, filled with false bravado.
“I advise you to leave immediately! This is no place for you to cause trouble! The Holy Emperor will return soon!”
Lin Fengmian sneered, “So you’re here. Do you think I’ll be afraid when he returns?”
Fu Dayong fell silent, not knowing where he had run off to.
Moments later, the formation was broken and the massive stone gate was shattered by Lin Fengmian’s sword. He slowly entered the treasury.
Inside, the shelves were filled with jade boxes containing various rare treasures and rows upon rows of neatly arranged pill bottles.
On both sides, weapon racks were filled with dozens of immortal tools, each of which emitted a powerful aura, as well as countless magical tools.
Although Lin Fengmian had expected the Imperial Treasury to be rich, he hadn’t imagined that it would be this wealthy.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh. This place is really overflowing with riches!
He swept his Divine Sense across the treasury and noticed that Fu Dayong was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a small self-destructing teleportation array.
Many areas of the treasury had been emptied, probably by Fu Dayong.
But the most amusing part was that most of what he had taken were ordinary resources.
The top-tier resources were protected by formations and could only be accessed by the decree of the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor. In the short time he had, Fu Dayong couldn’t break through many of the seals.
Although he hadn’t found the old eunuch, Lin Fengmian detected the presence of a living being in one corner of the treasury and couldn’t help but smile.
“Did you think that hiding here would allow you to escape my detection?”
He teleported to the stone wall in question, which had an intricate mechanism and a flowing formation.
But to Lin Fengmian, these were mere illusions. With a single strike of his sword, he forcibly broke through the wall.
Behind it was a special water prison, with a massive golden cage suspended above the water.
Lin Fengmian flew up and saw a beautiful woman imprisoned inside, like a golden canary in a cage.
The woman had green hair and a delicate appearance. She was wrapped in a blanket, with only her small head peeking out as she looked at Lin Fengmian with caution.
Lin Fengmian sensed a faint demonic aura from her and frowned slightly.
This woman is actually a demon at the Soul Severing Realm!
He was puzzled. Since her demonic aura was so faint, why had the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor imprisoned her here alone?
“Who are you?”
The demoness shrank back and shyly said, “This little demon, Zhen Bai, greets the saint.”
“Zhen Bai?” Lin Fengmian was taken aback.
“It’s Zhen as in ‘selection’…” the demoness said weakly.
“Ah, I see. Why are you here?” Lin Fengmian asked curiously.
“I am from the Heavenly Leech Demon Clan. I was imprisoned here by Yue Yingchuan,” Zhen Bai replied honestly.
“The legendary Heavenly Leech Demon?” Lin Fengmian looked at Zhen Bai in surprise.
Zhen Bai nodded, even though she was scared. “Yes.”
Lin Fengmian suddenly remembered that Jun Lingtian had sought the help of the Moon Shadow Dynasty to purify the bloodline of Jun Yunshang’s mother.
It must have been this Heavenly Leech Demon!
He noticed that although the cage Zhen Bai was in was damp, the environment was decent. It seemed that the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor had treated her relatively well.
Lin Fengmian coldly said, “Stand up!”
Was this woman hiding something under the blanket?
Zhen Bai was startled, but obediently got out of bed and stood shyly in front of him.
Lin Fengmian noticed that the demoness was dressed quite revealingly, showing almost everything that should and shouldn’t be exposed.
He couldn’t help but sigh. She really is ‘Zhen Bai’ (truly white)!
The places that should be big are big, and the places that shouldn’t be big are also big?
What’s with the slightly bulging belly?
This demon is hiding a little one!
Zhen Bai covered her belly protectively, fearing that Lin Fengmian might do something to her unborn child.
Lin Fengmian didn’t bother to dig any deeper. With a single sword strike, he shattered the magical cage imprisoning her and calmly said, “You’re free to go.”
Zhen Bai was stunne”d and asked timidly, “Is the saint really letting this little demon go?
Lin Fengmian waved his hand. “What else? Should I keep you here to give birth?”
Zhen Bai blushed and bowed deeply. “Thank you, Saint, for saving me. May I know your esteemed name? This little demon will surely repay your kindness in the future.”
It was fine until she bowed. Now, I don’t know where to look! Lin Fengmian averted his gaze.
“It was just a small favor. You should leave now.”
Zhen Bai nodded, bowed respectfully once more, and then jumped into the water.
As soon as she entered the water, she transformed into a stream of liquid and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Fengmian’s Divine Sense couldn’t detect her whereabouts, and he was slightly amazed.
This ability is truly extraordinary!
No wonder the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor locked her in a metal cage and suspended it in mid air.
