That Young Man!
The God-Seizing General's Manor.
Daoist Ironfeather followed behind the deity who called himself 'Gongyang Ye'. The General's Manor was heavily armed, exuding an aura of solemnity and authority. Daoist Ironfeather dared not look around, only wondering to himself, "The Thunder Ministry Spirit-Capturing Great General... could he be an old friend of the patriarch from the upper realm?"
He was making wild guesses.
He had considered that this Thunder Ministry Great General might be an old enemy of the Luofu Sword Sect. But then he thought, this deity was so polite, and if he had a grudge against the Luofu Sword Sect, he wouldn't have needed to summon him; he would have had many other methods.
In a short time.
My thoughts are in turmoil, and I can't seem to sort them out.
Fortunately, we have arrived at the General's Manor, and all my doubts will be resolved.
"Senior Tieyu, we have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time." Gongyang Ye led Daoist Ironfeather to a hall, gestured towards the hall ahead, and said.
"Thank you, God."
Daoist Ironfeather thanked him and then stepped into the main hall.
They entered the hall.
Seeing that no one was around, Daoist Ironfeather looked up and saw a handsome young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old sitting at the head of the table.
The young man was dressed as a Daoist priest, with his hair styled in a Daoist bun and a Green Bamboo hairpin inserted horizontally.
His handsome appearance became even more striking.
It makes him appear even more dignified.
Daoist Ironfeather dared not be negligent and immediately stepped forward, bowing deeply and saying, "Greetings, General."
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."
Lu Qingfeng, sitting at the head of the table, easily helped Daoist Ironfeather up, who couldn't bring himself to kneel. Regardless, Daoist Ironfeather had once been his disciple. Though he hadn't answered his questions, he had still been kind enough to teach him.
The Luofu Sword Canon and the Flowerstride were of great help to him.
This debt of gratitude has already been repaid with twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners, which is more than enough. But since we have such a fortunate coincidence in this battle, and he happened to witness it, it is not right for me to pretend not to know and ignore it.
Certainly.
The two had little master-disciple relationship in the past, having only met once on Fufeng Mountain. Furthermore, Lu Qingfeng was a reincarnated player, and having gone through more than ten lifetimes, he had no intention of continuing the master-disciple relationship.
"This general has some ties with your sect. My God-Seizing General's Manor still has a vacancy for the position of 'Mountain-Moving Sea-Turning Ironclad Supreme General.' I wonder if you would be willing to take on this task?"
Within the God-Seizing General's Manor, below the Spirit-Capturing Great General, there are five First-Rank Heavenly Generals, divided into the 'Four Supreme Generals' and the 'Spirit-Capturing Talisman Registrar'.
The former is divided into four categories: General Who Enforces Laws and Punishes Evil, Six-Auspicious General Who Devours Demons and Monsters, Daoist Longevity Who Mountain-Moving Sea-Turning Ironclad Supreme General, and General Wind-Stirring, Heaven-Shaking Red-Text Supreme General. Among them, the General Who Enforces Laws and Punishes Evil is held by the Daoist of Longevity, the Six-Auspicious General Who Devours Demons and Monsters held by Situ Qian, and there are two general positions remaining.
Firstly, he had a deep connection with Daoist Ironfeather; secondly, he was backed by the Luofu Sword Sect, which had many True Immortals; and thirdly, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Mahayana Dao Inquiry. In the next ten thousand years, if he had any fortuitous opportunity, he could break through to the Earth Immortal realm and add another Earth Immortal True Lord to his God-Seizing General's Manor.
The advancement from True Immortal to Earth Immortal is naturally difficult.
However, someone like Daoist Ironfeather, who has cultivated to such a level using only an Unorthodox Grade's "Luofu Sword Canon," even if he cannot break through on his own, will almost True Immortal break through to the True Immortal realm and advance to the Earth Immortal once Lu Qingfeng passes on the Orthodox Grade "Luofu Sword Scripture" and even uses the Yellow Court Great Method Enlightenment enlighten him.
In comparison.
It was much more difficult to elevate Ao Le was at the Nascent Earth Immortal Primordial Spirit Realm in the Immortal Qin Realm back then.
Lu Qingfeng pondered several things, his clear eyes looking at Daoist Ironfeather.
"I see!"
The Daoist Ironfeather was never confused.
In his mind, the status of this Spirit-Capturing Great General was not only incomparable to his own, but also to the entire Luofu Sword Sect, so there was absolutely no need for him to scheme against him.
At the end of one's rope.
The road ahead stretches out once more.
Daoist Ironfeather was overjoyed and wanted to agree immediately, but then a thought struck him, and he hesitated, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, General. However, I wonder, after I enter the General's Manor, what will happen to the Luofu Sword Sect— "
He had cultivated at the Luofu Sword Sect since childhood, and his affection for the sect was naturally beyond that of ordinary disciples. This could be seen from his willingness to forgo ascension rather than allow the Luofu Sword Sect's lineage to be severed. If he were to enter this General's Manor as a high-ranking general, the Luofu Sword Sect would have to be merged into it, Daoist Ironfeather would rather not accept it.
"Fellow Daoist, please handle this yourself."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand. His actions were for two reasons: first, to honor their past ties, and second, to recruit experts for the General's Manor. He didn't think much of the small Luofu Sword Sect and wouldn't use it to blackmail them.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Ironfeather was overjoyed and accepted the order.
From then on, he transformed into the "Mountain-Moving Sea-Turning Ironclad Supreme General" under the Thunder Ministry God-Seizing General's Manor!
The return of the third general to his post in the General's Manor sparked a discussion.
However, neither Daoist Ironfeather nor the other heavenly generals believed that Lu Qingfeng had a close relationship with a certain patriarch of the Luofu Sword Sect, to which Daoist Ironfeather belonged. As for which patriarch it was and the nature of their relationship, Lu Qingfeng did not reveal it, and no one dared to inquire.
It's irrelevant.
Daoist Ironfeather was appointed General and returned to the Chiyan Realm to handle the affairs of the Luofu Sword Sect. He also took the opportunity to select True Immortals and Primordial Spirit disciples to bring to the General's Manor. For the long years to come, he would have to work hard in the God-Seizing General's Manor and find a suitable opportunity and place to rebuild the sect.
Lu Qingfeng ignored these matters.
He remained at the General's Manor, continuing his arduous search of ancient texts and scrolls for information about the Immortal Qin Realm. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of scrolls was overwhelming, offering no clues and yielding little result. Even the celestial soldiers and generals he dispatched during their downtime were unlikely to make any progress in the short term.
As for the Oxhead Yin Deity, they had interacted more than 20,000 years ago, but there has been no response to their request regarding this matter. It is unknown whether they have forgotten about it or have simply not yet discovered it.
Both roads are blocked.
Even with his mature and composed nature, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Just then.
The 'Records and Prohibitions Examiner Envoy,' responsible for recording and interrogating evil gods, Ge Nie and reported, "The case of the Saha Demon Cult Sect in the Chiyan Realm has been recorded. The True Immortals, the Eighteen Demon Envoys, and the Sect Leader Du Jiuyou have all been interrogated. The former do not know much, and the source of the Demonic Sect's sudden rise lies entirely with Du Jiuyou. However, no matter how the skilled interrogators in the Examination and Examination and Interrogation Office interrogate him, Du Jiuyou will not confess anything. The examination period is approaching. In three days, it will be transferred to the Marshal's Manor. This is the record book. Please have the Three Kings affix their seals before it is filed."
Du Jiuyou, by his own power, led the rise of the Saha Demon Cult, almost causing the collapse of both the immortal and divine paths in the Chiyan Realm, repeating the old disaster of millions of years ago. His guilt is not small.
He must be hiding a big secret.
Unfortunately, this person was quite extraordinary, and no amount of torture could get him to talk.
As a result, the Examination and Interrogation Office them for many days without obtaining any information.
To lose a great deal of merit for nothing.
"Du Jiuyou."
"The Saha Demon Cult".
Lu Qingfeng was pondering the progress of the Immortal Qin Realm, the Oxhead Yin Deity, the General's Manor records, and so on, when he suddenly heard Ge Nie's report. His heart immediately stirred. "According to the records, this is closely related to the Du Jiuyou and the Saha Demon Cult, and to a demon god in the Nine Netherworlds Demon Abyss?"
Cases like those involving the Saha Demon Cult Sect are now all handled by generals like Daoist Longevity and Situ Qian. Lu Qingfeng only intervened personally because the two were incapable, hence his lack of understanding of the situation. Previously, when reviewing case files, his attention was mostly focused on the Chiyan Realm and the Luofu Sword Sect.
Upon hearing Ge Nie's report, he, who had been feeling melancholy, suddenly had a flash of Radiance.
Upon hearing this, Ge Nie nodded and said, "That's right. However, the account given by the celestial official is not detailed, and the case file does not record which demon god from the Demon Abyss it was."
"Nine Netherworlds".
"The Demon Abyss".
"Demon God".
Lu Qingfeng's eyes suddenly brightened. "The Nine Netherworlds are the extreme of the earth, where gods Gods and Devils, Buddhas, monsters, and ghosts mingle. The Demon Abyss is as vast as a galaxy, containing countless great and small worlds, and demon gods often peek at the countless worlds above the Nine Netherworlds. For example, the Five Directions Realms were almost dragged into the Nine Netherworlds Demon Abyss by the Heaven's Retribution Asura of the Blood Sea Lineage. Another example is the Evergreen Realm, which was once plagued by Evil Dragon, causing it to teeter on the Evergreen Realm of collapse, and ultimately becoming the Demon Abyss."
In that case, perhaps there are methods within the Nine Netherworlds Demon Abyss to spy on all realms, or even news of the Immortal Qin Realm.
Regardless of whether it actually exists or not, it provides another way to find the Immortal Qin Realm, in addition to the Oxhead Yin Deity, the God-Seizing General's Manor, and even Yellow Wind Ridge.
It was on my mind.
Lu Qingfeng immediately stood up, "Let me go and meet this Du Jiuyou!"
The Spirit-Capturing Great General has the power to establish his own government and headquarters, and therefore sets up many Yamen and departments. The 'Examination and Interrogation Office', which is in charge of the Records and Prohibitions Examiner Envoy, is one of them.
This is equivalent to the 'Censure Office' that Lu Qingfeng once controlled in the Immortal Qin Realm, which was responsible for imprisonment and interrogation.
Stepping into the Examination and Interrogation Office Purgatory finds a formidable inferno, where lightning intertwines into chains that hang across the void, binding all criminals both inside and outside the prison. No matter how powerful one's abilities, escape is impossible.
Having not been there for a long time, stepping inside, Lu Qingfeng immediately recalled the scene of interrogating demons in the Five Hells back in the Immortal Qin Realm. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he was now back to his old ways.
Inside the prison, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and flames surged, accompanied by the roars, pleas for mercy, and curses of evil gods, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Ge Nie led Lu Qingfeng inside, and when they arrived at a prison that looked like an abyss, he stopped and said, "Du Jiuyou is here."
Lu Qingfeng peered inside.
Dozens of lightning chains pierced through Du Jiuyou's limbs, waist, abdomen, and collarbone, binding him tightly and making it difficult for him to break free. The demonic sect leader remained silent, neither roaring nor begging for mercy. He endured the severe torture inflicted by the officials of the Examination and Interrogation Office Bureau on either side of him, a smile even appearing on his face.
Born into a demonic sect, he cultivated the "Life-Slaying Dao." The methods of these divine officials were like tickling him.
Lu Qingfeng jumped down, with Ge Nie following closely behind.
"Greetings, General."
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Upon seeing the two, the prison officials hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Du Jiuyou also looked up, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
"Step down."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, dismissing the group of officials.
He immediately stepped in front of Du Jiuyou, and seeing a mocking smile on his face, he didn't say much and directly used the 'Toxic Torture: Lock-Bone-Piercing Little Asura Method' that he hadn't used for a long time.
Half an hour later.
Ge Nie followed Lu Qingfeng out. Ge Nie, who rarely showed any expression, had his face twitching at this moment, obviously having suffered a great shock.
Then look at the prison behind.
Du Jiuyou was completely exhausted, sprawled on the ground in a puddle of water, his eyes empty and filled with fear. His hair was disheveled and his lips trembled slightly.
Where is the former leader's former prestige?
Meanwhile, outside.
Lu Qingfeng stepped out of the Examination and Interrogation Office, his eyes flashing with a strange light, while a scene flashed through his mind—
In the vast starry sky.
A meteorite drifted aimlessly, and on it, a young man in brocade robes knelt on the ground, his brows furrowed with fierce anger, his eyes filled with sorrow, and tears streaming down his face.
Contradiction.
Sorrow and loneliness.
It eventually disappeared into the boundless darkness.
