Chapter 1315: Back to Zifeng Valley

Chapter 1315: Back to Zifeng Valley

I suddenly remembered Qin Dao and Liang Zhao’s faction.

Since the Handa Alliance had collapsed and its influence was waning, even if there were some remnants left, they would be swiftly eradicated. Without the Handa Alliance backing them, it was only a matter of time before Qin Dao and his crew fell apart.

With Su Kexin, the descendant of the Valkyrie, on our side, it’s not like saving the world is beyond her capabilities, right? Her great-grandmother, Ling Qi, once saved the Sacred Realm from the clutches of demons.

Of course, Lin Nuo wished she’d refrain from using her powers too much.

After all, Ling Qi had completely overextended herself and left this world in tears.

“So, how has Qin Dao expanded his influence during my absence?” Lin Nuo asked.

“They’ve already swallowed up most of the Refining Demon Sect’s power, practically encompassing all the demons in the world,” Qin Zhu said with concern.

“That’s a fast pace. No worries, they won’t last long.”

Lin Nuo replied casually. However, with the puppet technique of the demon mage Liang Zhao reaching unparalleled heights, every clash meant dealing with his puppets, while his true body remained a mystery.

But that wasn’t too much of a problem. If he was on the decline, even if his true form remained, the chances of a resurgence were slim; death was just a matter of time.

“Senior Martial Brother, what should we do now?”

“Let’s go find them.”

“But, Senior Martial Brother, you’ve exhausted yourself too much in the Demon Realm. I can see you’re really tired. You should rest a bit.”

Su Kexin gently brushed her hand across Lin Nuo’s face, filled with concern.

“With all this chaos outside, how could I possibly sleep? Honestly, it’s fine; in the Demon Realm we managed to hold our ground. Coming back to the mortal realm should be a piece of cake.”

“I can go, just rest a bit, Senior Martial Brother.”

“Your abilities are powerful, but you know that Ling Qi succumbed due to overexerting herself. So, I don’t want you to misuse them either. If I rest, I can’t guarantee you won’t go overboard.”

“I won’t, Senior Martial Brother.”

“Let’s go; I’ll keep an eye on you so you don’t misuse your power.”

Lin Nuo summoned his flying sword, soaring into the air.

“Lord Qin, do you know where they have gone?”

“To Zifeng Valley, the land of the immortals.”

“Okay, speaking of which, where’s the Spirit Cat Dao Yuan?” Lin Nuo suddenly recalled the intriguing cat.

“It went with Shi Li.”

“Alright.”

“Oh, okay?”

That unfamiliar term left Qin Zhu a bit confused.

“Let’s move.”

With that, Lin Nuo rode his sword toward Zifeng Valley.

Zifeng Valley, a celestial mountain, would likely prove uncomfortable for someone like him, a demon.

However, having spent time in the Sacred Realm, he felt he could endure the discomfort.

Remembering the past, when reaching Zifeng Valley would require navigating through fierce storms, now it was a straight shot. It seemed the celestial spells of Zifeng Valley had been broken.

“Ah? Senior Martial Brother, so many corpses…!”

Su Kexin gasped in shock as they neared Zifeng Valley, spotting a heap of corpses, including demons, immortals, and various practitioners.

“What on earth has happened here…?! They’re heading straight for Zifeng Valley!”

“There’s nothing strange about that. Didn’t Zifeng Valley face an internal riot back then? You were there too. Don’t think these celestial mountains are safe; they can have their own troubles.”

Lin Nuo scoffed. Now, Zifeng Valley was a mix of celestial and demon energy, a chaotic sight of devastation where once stood natural beauty.

At this moment, Lin Nuo’s approach was detected by a group of demon practitioners. They immediately unleashed their demon powers. Various waves of energy surged toward him but were swallowed up by Lin Nuo’s dark vortex and sent flying back.

“They’ve got quite a few troops on the outer perimeter. Where are all these demon practitioners coming from?”

Lin Nuo was astonished; did the remnants of the Handa Alliance migrate here after their defeat?

Though he had taken down many demons, a constant stream of them kept pouring into Zifeng Valley, much like pesky cockroaches that wouldn’t die.

“Senior Martial Brother, I too…!”

“Put your sword away. It’s not your turn to act.”

Lin Nuo stopped Su Kexin, not wanting her to unleash her power. He wanted her to survive well, not exhaust her life and future.

“Let’s move inside.”

Lin Nuo quickly pushed through. Inside, the immortals and supporting practitioners were fighting valiantly, but the sheer number of demons made their situation dire.

Upon seeing Lin Nuo approach, the resisting immortals were filled with despair.

“Is that Lin Nuo?! Is he coming to kill us?!”

“Damn demon! We once thought he was a promising candidate for cultivation, only to find him here to slaughter us! We swear not to yield!”

These immortals mistook Lin Nuo for a demon practitioner leading an assault, raising their weapons to cast spells against him.

“Lin Nuo, even if we die, we won’t let you get closer!”

“If you want to die, then go ahead. Have you ever seen me fighting your kind? Killing demons the way you do won’t work on me.”

Lin Nuo shook his head and tossed a demon ball into the sky. The ball split apart like a meteor shower, raining down upon a large cluster of demons.

As far as group damage and one-on-one combat were concerned, he could handle it easily, leaving the immortals dumbfounded.

“Though I’m not particularly keen on helping you, these demons threaten my peaceful life. I might as well rescue you for now. Of course, if you still think I’m here to slaughter you, your thinking skills truly don’t deserve to be living.”

Lin Nuo shouted at the group of immortals. In the past, he might’ve even come to wipe out the entire Zifeng Valley.

“This…”

The immortals hesitated, momentarily unsure if Lin Nuo was friend or foe, especially since he had wounded many of them before.

“Let him in.”

At that moment, a male immortal stepped forward. It was Zhao Zhou, a friend of Su Lingjiang, who had initially recommended Su Kexin to the Zifeng Valley for training.

“Long time no see, Lin Nuo.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here; I never expected to see it in such disarray.”

Lin Nuo remarked dryly, not in the mood to be polite with these immortals, even if they shared some connection with Su Kexin.

Still, if they were relatives, wouldn’t that make them his relatives too, in a way?

“Are Li Ruo’er, Liu Shuqin, Qin Shili, Ling Meng, Mu Yiting, and Luo Xiaoxue here?” Lin Nuo asked Zhao Zhou.

“Li Ruo’er, Liu Shuqin, and Luo Xiaoxue are here, but the others you mentioned are unfortunately not present.”

Zhao Zhou responded, gazing at Lin Nuo with a mixture of sentiment and concern.

“Lin Nuo, what brings you here this time?”

“Very simple; to put an end to this demon chaos.”

“I don’t understand. You’ve already embraced the demon path, why would you want to quell the chaos?” Zhao Zhou asked, puzzled.

“You don’t need to understand. Can I go in now?”

“Go ahead.”

Zhao Zhou still chose to trust Lin Nuo, allowing him entry.

Soon, Lin Nuo and Su Kexin stepped into the depths of Zifeng Valley. Immortals were shocked as they saw Lin Nuo, the traitor they considered a scourge, walking confidently within Zifeng Valley.

Did Zifeng Valley already concede to the demons?

“This is? Young Master! It’s Young Master! He’s back!!”

Upon seeing Lin Nuo’s arrival, Li Ruo’er was thrilled and rushed to embrace him.
