Urban All-Round Master

This is a question that is puzzling to everyone. Even Lin Zifeng has passed away, so why do Taishang Sect and Bright Sect still protect the Holy Hall so fiercely? Besides, as long as the Holy Hall exists in the Mortal World, it threatens the status of Taishang Sect. Although Taishang Sect isn’t the top sect in Huaxia, it is at least considered the number one sect in Jiangzhou.

Yet, the existence of the Holy Hall further threatens Taishang Sect’s position in Jiangzhou. The power of the Holy Hall spans across the three major areas of Zhonghai, Yanjing, and Jiangzhou, which are the largest regions.

Even the Taihuang Demon, whose cultivation has recently increased greatly, finds it difficult to understand why Sect Hierarch Supreme Emperor is so protective of the Holy Hall, given that the grievances between Taishang Sect and the Holy Hall are not a matter of one or two days.

Moreover, Taihuang Demon has narrowly escaped death at the hands of Holy Hall’s people more than once. If her fate wasn’t strong enough, she might already be dead now, yet the Sect Hierarch not only does not avenge her but protects the Holy Hall like this.

This is something Taihuang Demon cannot comprehend at all. She personally went to Supreme Emperor to express her concerns, and Supreme Emperor’s answer was simple: he owes Lin Zifeng a life; without Lin Zifeng, he would be dead now.

Upon hearing this news, Taihuang Demon was silent for several days, and finally, she gave up on her determination to assassinate those of the Holy Hall.

Although the Sect Hierarch did not elaborate, she could guess some of the underlying motives.

But how could Taihuang Demon’s grudges with the Holy Hall just disappear like this?

To regain her lost face, Taihuang Demon went to the Holy Hall late at night and inscribed words on the main gate with a sword, stating that the Holy Hall owes her and that one day she would make them return what they owe.

Even though it was just a statement on the surface, like an empty threat check, it at least proved to the world that she had come to the Holy Hall.

Proving that Taihuang Demon would eventually make the Holy Hall pay her back, but not now...

...

Meanwhile, in the distant Dark Prison, Lin Zifeng, who was plunged into the depths of Hell’s eighteenth layer, had disappeared for several dozens of days.

When he truly woke up, he found himself amidst a desolate vast mountain range. Surrounding him was a barren wilderness, quiet and eerie except for the occasional large bird swooping across the sky above.

At this moment, as Lin Zifeng just regained consciousness, a chilling breeze blew through, carrying a piercing coldness with a faint scent of blood.

Lifting himself up slowly, Lin Zifeng felt as if all his bones were scattered, even standing up was extraordinarily painful.

After struggling to recover some strength, he realized he was truly in a wilderness.

He thought that by perishing collectively with the king of Hell’s eighteenth layer, could this place be the Third Parallel Universe behind Hell’s eighteenth layer?

When Lin Zifeng inspected his body internally, he found that the Hand Demon Bracelet was still with him, but he did not find little Luobo. He entered here together with little Luobo, could it be that little Luobo had already died?

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng felt deeply uncomfortable, searching desperately around, but no matter how he searched, he could not find little Luobo’s figure...

”Where is this place? Where on earth is this place?” Lin Zifeng searched all around, yet he couldn’t figure out where he was.

Suddenly, he was so anxious that he roared skywards continuously...

......

”Huh! How could there be someone’s cries here?”

In a distant forest, a group of young adventurers walked briskly among the woods.

The voice came from a fair and pretty girl, wearing a snow-white dress that accentuated her graceful figure prominently.

”Dongfang Xiaohuang, have you been dreaming a lot lately? In this ghostly place, not to mention people, even ghosts probably wouldn’t come here.”

Among the group, a sharp-eyed, monkey-like youth grinned.

Indeed... in a desolate ghostly place like this, not to mention people, even ghosts wouldn’t want to come.

If it weren’t for the academy’s wilderness training, they would never have come here.

”Ning Yunlong, what do you mean? I clearly heard someone’s voice, I’m so young and pretty, do you think there’s something wrong with my ears?”

The girl named Dongfang Xiaohuang was immediately displeased, especially being mocked by Ning Yunlong, the annoying guy in front of her, made her even more furious.

”Dongfang Xiaohuang, you should know very well what kind of place this is. Except for the gimmicky wilderness training conducted by our school, even if they brought eight sedan chairs to carry me, Ning Yunlong wouldn’t come.

Oh, had I known I’d suffer in this ghostly place, I wouldn’t have come. Finding any random place to rest would have been much better than this wretched place.” Ning Yunlong started to complain.

”What are you two arguing about? Don’t you know this place is very dangerous?”

While the two were arguing, a slim, shapely and seductive woman came by, dressed in a deep red fitted long dress, appearing like an immortal from a novel.

”Ms. Zhou, I really heard someone shouting, didn’t you hear it?” Dongfang Xiaohuang blinked her enchanting spiritual eyes and looked at the woman before her with grievance.

Clearly, she indeed heard someone’s cry, didn’t they hear it? It was not scientific, she was so young, and besides, she didn’t have any hearing problems, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be wrong.

”Someone shouting? Really?” The woman furrowed her delicate brows.

She hadn’t heard any sound.

”Xiaohuang, are you imagining things?” Ms. Zhou asked curtly.

”No, I truly heard someone shouting, Ms. Zhou, Xiaohuang wouldn’t lie.” Dongfang Xiaohuang pouted innocently.

”Alright, alright, the training time is almost over, today’s the last day, Xiaohuang, once today passes, tomorrow you can go back.” Ms. Zhou lovingly patted her little head.

Soon, they continued their way forward.

However, after less than an hour of travel, they discovered a man hanging from a large tree, covered in blood, looking extremely battered.

And this man was in a terrible state, bloodstained and looked like he had undergone a major battle, the man being none other than Lin Zifeng, who had recently fought a large bird.

After waking up earlier, due to unfamiliarity with this strange domain, Lin Zifeng encountered a fully-grown bird, taller than a person. As Lin Zifeng had already sustained some injuries, after a fierce battle, he finally killed the bird.

He ate the bird’s blood and flesh to recover strength, perhaps due to a tremendous energy drain, he had found a large tree to rest. If he rested on the ground, there was fear he might be eaten by some beasts.

When he was discovered by the group, Lin Zifeng was soundly sleeping, completely oblivious to their peculiar gazes upon him.

”Ms. Zhou, this man looks so strange, just look at his clothes, really odd.” Dongfang Xiaohuang pointed at Lin Zifeng resting on the big tree, exclaiming.

(Apologies everyone, today I went for a photo shoot, preparing for wedding photos, so there was a delay. Also, originally I didn’t plan to write about the Third Parallel Universe, but many readers hope for this plot, a bit of fantasy, not sure if you all like it, anyway, Huahua will write well as much as possible, won’t write too long in Parallel Universe.)
