Lord Yuxu walked up to Cangdi Fenglang and stood still.
After a while, he said, “There is a phoenix below. He is the enemy of evil creatures. We are not his match.”
Cangdi Fenglang sneered. “So what? Although the Phoenix can easily destroy evil spirits, he will eventually exhaust himself. One of the Nine Lands’ Pillar of Heaven has already collapsed, and it can easily form Heaven’s Wail now. There is plenty of evil Qi in the void. As long as evil Qi enters the Nine Lands through Heaven’s Wail, we will have a steady stream of helpers, so we can simply kill him after he exhausts his power.”
Cangdi Fenglang really did have a reason for his confidence.
Feng Jingyu soon found that he couldn’t completely destroy these evil creatures, no matter what. A phoenix is the evil creatures’ natural enemy. They can escape from evil creatures, but they can’t destroy all the evil creatures in the world. It would be fine if he was in the wilderness — a single breath of fire would make all the evil spirits within a hundred miles disappear. However, this was Northern Liang City. While killing evil creatures, his power could also evaporate the city on the spot. The gain was not worth the loss.
Feeling restrained everywhere, Feng Jingyu was about to explode.
After a while, Lord Yuxu saw the golden teal light from a sword cutting through the evil Qi. His eyes lit up and said, “That should be Lin Xuanzhi.”
Cangdi Fenglang sneered. “Good.”
Lord Yuxu said, “His moves have changed a lot compared with those ten thousand years ago. Chang Sheng’s sword style has never been fixed. He can do every move with ease.”
Lord Yuxu then saw Yan Tianhen, who was transforming evil Qi into animals and making a mess of the battlefield.
His eyes sank and said, “Fenglang, who do you think is the real Lingyu: me or Yan Tianhen?”
Cangdi Fenglang withdrew his gaze, which was staring at Yan Tianhen flitting in and out of the evil Qi with ease. He turned to Lord Yuxu beside him and said leisurely, “What does it matter whether it’s you or him?”
Lord Yuxu said, “Naturally it matters. If I really am Lingyu, then it doesn’t matter whether he’s Chang Sheng or Chang Sheng’s reincarnation; both of them should be mine. How can I easily give him to others? Chang Sheng must have been deceived and bewitched by that fake; that’s the only reason he would treat the fake that way. I will most certainly snatch Chang Sheng back.”
Cangdi Fenglang smiled. “And what if he’s the real one?”
Lord Yuxu also looked indifferent. “If he’s the real one, then Chang Sheng liking him has nothing to do with me. But I just don’t understand why I always feel like I’m Lingyu, even though my memory is still incomplete.”
Cangdi Fenglang looked at Lord Yuxu in silence for a moment. “It’s possible for there to be two Lingyu’s in the world. Both he and you are the real Lingyu.”
Confused, Lord Yuxu asked, “What does that mean?”
Cangdi Fenglang narrowed his eyes. “It’s just the art of splitting a soul. It’s nothing new.”
Lord Yuxu: “…”

With the participation of Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi, this battle, which originally looked like a one-sided battle, soon reversed its course. The two sides were evenly matched.

He did intend to take revenge on Yan Tianhen, but he didn’t want to fight senselessly. Cangdi Fenglang had always been a lazy person. He had been an evil Qi cultivator from the moment of his birth. The reason why nobody ever noticed was because he never used evil Qi to harm people.
However, the only reason he didn’t harm people was that he was too lazy. For Cangdi Fenglang, causing such a ruckus inside the Dagon Tomb Holy Land had almost consumed all of his enthusiasm.
He originally thought the Dragon Tomb’s seal had been destroyed, so the North Land would lose its defense against evil creatures. Thus, he thought he’d be able to easily conquer the northern border — a desolate, barren place lacking in spiritual Qi so close to the demon world. Unexpectedly, not only did he meet a stupid Phoenix, but even that scummy couple still pursued him relentlessly.
Cangdi Fenglang finally lost the last of his fighting spirit after the battle continued for a day and night.
“Let’s go.” Cangdi Fenglang turned around and flew towards the demon world.
The sky was getting dark, but the evil Qi was getting thinner and thinner. Finally, it dispersed. Yan Tianhen stopped his attack and looked further north. “Dage, Cangdi Fenglang ran away.”
Lin Xuanzhi sheathed his sword. “He’s heading towards the demon world.”
Yan Tianhen clapped his hands, then put Xiuxiu directly into the scabbard. “Since he’s in the demon world, he has nothing to do with us anymore. Let those Demon Venerables worry about him.”
It could be said that evil Qi cultivators were something both humans and demons wanted to kill. Not only could they stir up a mess in the world of mortals, but they could also flourish in the demon world.
Yan Tianhen hoped that Cangdi Fenglang wouldn’t live too peacefully after arriving at the demon world. He’d better stir up a lot of trouble. Only then would Yan Tianhen be able to cooperate with those Demon Venerables. Otherwise, dealing with those ruthless demons was no different than seeking skin from a tiger.
Northern Liang City suffered heavy casualties.
King Zhen immediately sent someone to appease the people and send them spiritual pills and miraculous medicines for healing. Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen met with Feng Jingyu and Yan Zhonghua under an old locust tree in the city.
Among them, Feng Jingyu’s expression was the ugliest. He gnashed his teeth with a dark expression. “I’ve inquired about that goddamned Longyao Xuan. This evil Qi cultivator originally went to the Longyao family’s Dragon Tomb Holy Land. However, he was released by the Longyao clan, and they even drove him to the northern border. Longyao Xuan clearly wants to find trouble for me.”
Yan Tianhen: “…”
The one who did all that seems to be me.
Yan Tianhen coughed softly and said, “The Dragon Emperor doesn’t know you’re in Northern Liang City.”
Feng Jingyu accused, “You’re actually taking his side!”
Yan Tianhen immediately apologized, “The Dragon Emperor really is wretched. He didn’t have the ability to kill Cangdi Fenglang, but just had to drive him north.”
You Ming glanced at Yan Tianhen. “That evil Qi cultivator is called Cangdi Fenglang?”
Yan Tianhen nodded. “If I’m not wrong, that should be his name.”
You Ming asked, “How did you know?”
Yan Tianhen blinked and thought, It’s not like I can tell You Ming that he’s my Shidi in a past life and even someone I killed personally.
So he answered instead, “It’s probably because he’s too naive. Before attacking, he just had to introduce himself, as though that would make him more imposing.”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Yan Tianhen but didn’t expose his white lie.
Yan Tianhen wasn’t afraid to talk about the past, but it was too troublesome to explain clearly, nor could it be explained in a few words.
You Ming was still suspicious, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing was also normal.
After all, it would be too nonsensical if two strangers fought to the death but still didn’t know the enemy’s name.
Yan Zhonghua said, “Since you’ve all come to Northern Liang City, we might as well meet that ambitious brother of mine.”
Feng Jingyu snorted coldly when he heard that. “You can tell at first glance that Yan Huaizhen isn’t anything good. I feel ill when I see him. You guys can go; I’ll sit this one out.”
“But isn’t Ah Gu still there?” Yan Tianhen looked at Feng Jingyu innocently. “You really won’t go and see Ah Gu?”
Feng Jingyu: “…”
So four people and a bird walked towards Northern Liang Palace.
An ash-gray bird’s head poked out from the collar of Yan Tianhen’s clothes. Feng Jingyu looked left and right. His small head turned around quickly. It looked like he was full of curiosity about the world.
Yan Tianheng asked, “What are you looking at?”
Feng Jingyu chirped twice and said, “I’m looking at the soldiers patrolling around. After the battle, the number of soldiers patrolling the city has actually increased. Their backs are straight and they hold swords in their hands. They patrol the streets with such neat and uniform movements.”
Yan Tianhen looked back and said, “What’s there to see about this?”
Yan Zhonghua glanced at the soldiers around him and suddenly said, “Something seems wrong.”
“What’s wrong? How come I feel it’s quite normal?” You Ming carelessly swept his gaze over the patrolling soldiers. Suddenly, his expression changed. “Something really is wrong. I’ll take a look.”
Yan Zhonghua said, “Be careful.”
Yan Tianhen was confused. “What’s the matter?”
Yan Zhonghua said, “Your dad and I have been lurking here for some time, observing the guards’ routes and schedules inside the city. Because this place is close to Northern Liang Palace, we especially memorized the faces of three patrol groups.”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help looking towards those people as well.
“I remember that several of them already died in the hands of evil creatures when the battle began. But why are they still patrolling now?” Yan Zhonghua frowned.
Yan Tianhen felt his back turn cold. He saw that You Ming had come to the front of the patrol. After he stood still, he stood with his hands behind his back.
He raised his eyes and stared at the expressionless patrol member at the front. “Stop, I want to see your King Zhen.”
The patrol member raised his head and stared at You Ming silently.
You Ming frowned slightly.
As soon as he was about to speak again, a patrol member came up from behind and said impatiently to You Ming, “There are hundreds of people who want to see our King Zhen. What kind of thing are you? If you don’t want to die, then get lost.”
Immediately after, he murmured, “Why stir up trouble now? How unperceptive.”
The patrol member turned and wanted to return to the team. However, You Ming raised his hand this instant and used his palm to hit the head of that expressionless patrol member in the front. His momentum didn’t slow. He just slapped the man away. The person hit the wall and bounced back a few feet.
“What are you doing!” Several patrolmen jumped out at the same time and surrounded You Ming, pointing their long spears at his body and looking at him warily.
You Ming’s sight, however, fell on the patrolling soldier who was lying on the ground and twisting his body in pain. As soon as he raised his hand, a protective barrier appeared around him. The soldiers could stab him, but they always missed their mark.
From beginning to end, You Ming’s gaze was fixed on that person on the ground.
The soldier’s face was full of pain and ferocity, as if he would die soon, but he struggled extremely violently. Even if he was pressed down by three companions, he still broke away from their suppression and jumped up.
“Ahhh–” The soldier roared loudly. The sound was like the howling of wild animals; he didn’t sound like a human being.
The three soldiers who suppressed him were thrown aside. Before they could react, one of them felt a strong force coming at him. His sight turned dark for a while. Suddenly, his neck felt cold and painful. In his sight was the blood gushing outward and upward.
The other soldiers: “!!!”
Thanks for the chapter ❤
Are they affected by evil qi???
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Yeah, it seems that Han Su or Tu Feng is also able to do what Cangdi did. He let the evil qi possessed the living! I wonder if this Tu Feng is the real mastermind? 🤔
Eso… Está muuuuuuuy raro…
Gracias por actualizar~~
Uhm …. ¿cómo es que el alma de LY se separó ?, lo que me parece ilógico es que CF esté con él, ¿por qué estar con la mitad del alma de la persona que más odia? … hummm
