Chapter 893: Chapter 917: Breaking Open the Entrance
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to leave. Princess Yiyi, Kong Feifei, and Zhang Lijuan were all feeling very low, continuously drinking at the banquet, trying to use alcohol to numb their inner pain, which made Chu Linfeng feel a pang of discomfort in his heart.
However, Zhang Lijuan, as the Human King, could not lose face in front of everyone, so she continued to greet everyone occasionally, though it was clear from her voice and tone that she was deliberately concealing her true feelings.
Chu Linfeng didn’t know what to say. This time he left hurriedly, not informing the Lord of Netherworld and the Netherworld Lord, but he left two letters for them, which Yiyi and Feifei would deliver if there was a chance. The banquet lasted half a day before ending, with Feifei and Yiyi both getting drunk on purpose because they feared seeing Chu Linfeng leaving, fearing they couldn’t bear the pain of farewell.
Liu Fengchen simply instructed Ouyang Hong to take good care of his granddaughter and left before Chu Linfeng and the others did. Perhaps he also wanted to avoid the pain of separation. In the end, Chu Linfeng took out most of the Nether Stones and some Martial Arts Manuals obtained from the Tower of Death Land from his Storage Ring and said to Zhang Lijuan:
"Lijuan, take good care of our child, and also the children of Feifei and Yiyi. When there’s a chance, I will definitely take you all away. You don’t have to see me off this time, to avoid everyone feeling bad. You better escort Yiyi and Feifei back to their rooms!"
"Lin Feng, we will wait for your return, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you!" Tears welled up in Zhang Lijuan’s clear eyes, which pained Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng said no more and spoke to Lin Ruoxi and Xiao Qiang, "Let’s leave from here. You can break open the entrance to the Netherworld anywhere. I don’t wish to be overly troublesome, hoping this time we can return smoothly!"
Saying this, he focused his mind and a dragon roar resonated through the heavens, the enormous Golden Dragon Body was fully revealed. At this moment, Chu Linfeng already had seven complete claws, with an eighth claw just emerging.
Following Chu Linfeng’s transformation into his Dragon Body, Feiyu also manifested the Black Tortoise Body, appearing as a huge turtle in the sky. The commoners in the Royal City were shocked by this celestial phenomenon, something they had never seen before.
Then Ouyang Hongye revealed the White Tiger Body, the large white tiger soared into the sky, and a tiger roar frightened the timid ones into their homes. Finally, Lin Ruoxi’s body emitted red light, a clear phoenix cry escaping her lips, as a fiery Vermilion Bird flew into the sky.
Instantly, the Four Holy Beasts in the sky astonished everyone, with Zhang Lijuan being the most shocked, not expecting the identity of the four to be so fantastical.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng shouted to the crowd below, "Quickly disperse, otherwise you’ll be hurt later." He now realized his decision was too rash; the sunlight from the Sun Shining Stone could harm many people and he had forgotten about it.
Nonetheless, with events already in motion, he could not worry about too much and could only proceed. After taking out the Sun, Moon, and Star Three Radiant Stones, he slowly threw them into the air, and the Four Holy Beasts infused their Holy Power into the three stones. For a moment, the light grew as bright as daylight.
Though Zhang Lijuan wanted to see how Chu Linfeng and the others would return, she heeded Chu Linfeng’s words and returned indoors, at least not adding to the pain.
Soon, the three stones began to spin, forming a Hexagram image identical to the one seen when entering the Netherworld. This is the most mysterious aspect of the Sun, Moon, and Star Stones, able to replicate formation layouts directly, with the current Hexagram image copied from before.
Otherwise, if Chu Linfeng tried to find the entrance back to Canglan Ancient Land, he might never locate it in the Netherworld. The Hexagram image started spinning faster, soon emitting a white light into the sky, and an opening about two meters wide appeared above the four of them.
Many from the Human Race, curious about this phenomenon, looked to see and unknowingly risked their lives. The intense light the Sun Shining Stone emitted was the nemesis of all Nether Race species, the reason why the Netherworld Lord feared the Sun Shining Stone in Chu Linfeng’s hand.
Upon seeing the opening, Chu Linfeng said urgently to Xiao Qiang and the completely shrouded Liu Qin’er, "Quickly enter the opening!"
Xiao Qiang glanced at the opening above and realized this broke open into the Netherworld’s space, so he quickly pulled Liu Qin’er into the opening with a flash, while Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi followed suit. Within breaths, the opening slowly closed, the space returned to calm, and the Sun, Moon, and Star Stones fulfilled their mission and vanished.
Inside the opening, a huge pull force emerged, strong though the group could withstand it. After a while, the pull force disappeared, everyone appeared in a clear blue sky, and they reverted to human form, feeling an undefined joy.
Chu Linfeng never imagined the Netherworld’s exit would be in the sky, and also the opening could accommodate dozens. Had he known, he would have let Princess Yiyi and Feifei accompany them, because inside the opening, the Demon Lord, who hadn’t spoken, now said:
"Lin Feng, you should have brought them back. The life in Canglan Ancient Land might not suit them, but they could adapt to my Demon Realm’s environment. Though my Demon Realm isn’t large, it’s a unique space, with no sunlight inside but plenty of vegetation, they could live there."
Not listening was fine, but hearing this made Chu Linfeng want to curse the Demon Lord; it was hindsight advice. At this point, what’s the point? Could he traverse the Netherworld again? Even wanting to is powerless; without the Sun, Moon, and Star energy stones, the Netherworld’s entrance can’t be breached, making Chu Linfeng feel the urge to beat the Demon Lord, the fool.
Later, they descended to the ground. Upon noticing the surroundings, Chu Linfeng said, "We don’t know what place this is either, perhaps we should find someone and ask?"
Ouyang Hong glanced at Liu Qin’er who was trembling, quickly removing his robe to cover her, "Lin Feng, your speed is fast, go check what place this is. I must take Qin’er back quickly; out here she cannot endure."
"Alright, everyone wait for me, I’ll be right back!" With that, he vanished in a flash before them...
