Chapter 608 - 602: Message from Xi Huang
Mysterious World.
Above the East Sea.
Chishiniu was trapped in an encirclement and has turned into a heap of flesh, dead beyond revival.
"The Golden-Winged Roc cannot die in vain; I have finally avenged him!" The Black Bear Spirit said with tearful eyes.
He felt extremely guilty for not taking care of the injured Golden-Winged Roc.
At this point, the battle against the Outer World People was nearing its end.
However, when counting the numbers, Lin Yuan realized that the Peacock Great Ming King was missing.
Earlier, during all the fighting, there was no time to think about such things.
Now, realizing the Peacock Great Ming King was missing, Lin Yuan’s brow furrowed intensely.
Among all those on guard, the Peacock Great Ming King was the strongest. Why was he missing?
"Where is the Peacock Great Ming King?"
"He shouldn’t have, run into any unexpected situation, should he?" Lin Yuan asked everyone.
When Lin Yuan raised this question, everyone was momentarily stunned.
In terms of strength, the Peacock Great Ming King was stronger than any of the Four Great Demon Kings.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for him to run into trouble.
Soon, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, "The Peacock Great Ming King chased Demon King Bosun into the Void to avenge the Golden-Winged Roc."
"That’s right, Indra went along as well."
Upon hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva’s words, Elder Bai’s expression immediately changed: "Foolish, the Peacock Great Ming King is foolish!"
"The Void is vast; ordinarily, going in is no big deal."
"But now, this battle is crucial; the Four Great Primordial Spirits are surely watching our situation."
"Demon King Bosun and Indra aren’t much, but the Demon Lord of the Four Great Primordial Spirits must be in the Void, ready to strike, right?"
"By entering the Void at this time, isn’t the Peacock Great Ming King just walking into a trap?"
After Elder Bai finished speaking, everyone’s faces changed immediately.
Without a doubt, the Peacock Great Ming King had fallen into the enemy’s trap.
"What should we do about this?"
"Elder Bai, can you make a decision?"
"How can we rescue the Peacock Great Ming King?"
....
....
Everyone started speaking over each other, turning the surrounding area into a noisy market.
Looking at Chishiniu on the ground, who had been bombarded into a pulp, Lin Yuan deeply regretted killing him!
If he hadn’t killed him, perhaps they could have used him as a bargaining chip. Now that he’s dead, they had nothing left.
"A solution?"
"What solution can there be now?"
"If my guess is correct and the Demon Lord has already made a move, the Peacock Great Ming King is in grave danger now."
"The only hope is that I’m wrong, and after killing Bosun and Indra, the Peacock Great Ming King returns safely." Elder Bai said gravely.
However, with Elder Bai’s words, everyone understood.
The likelihood of the Peacock Great Ming King returning safely was nearly zero.
In short, whether the Peacock Great Ming King lives or dies now is up to luck.
"We can’t just wait around like this!"
"I’ll go see what’s happening in the Void!" Lin Yuan said as he prepared to cut open the Void with his sword.
Seeing this, Elder Bai grabbed Lin Yuan: "Are you crazy too?"
"You don’t know, the Demon Lord, Wa Huang, Buddha, and Daoist Ancestor might be watching us right now?"
"They can’t come in, waiting for you to go out? Once you go out, you’re falling into their trap."
"If you get caught too, what will we do about the battle in nine days?"
Following Elder Bai’s words, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder and others quickly tried to dissuade Lin Yuan.
"The Void is the home ground of the Four Great Primordial Spirits; under no circumstances should you go in!"
"Yes, you mustn’t go!"
"With the battle imminent, we can’t take risks!"
...
...
Everyone tried to persuade him, leaving Lin Yuan in a difficult position.
On one side was the greater good, on the other was his soon-to-be father-in-law.
Knowing the Peacock Great Ming King was in danger but doing nothing, how could Lin Yuan explain this to Kong Mengmeng?
Just as Lin Yuan was torn, the Void suddenly tore open.
Feeling the intense energy wave, everyone was overjoyed.
"The Peacock Great Ming King is back!"
"It must be the Peacock Great Ming King!"
"Looks like the Peacock Great Ming King had a stroke of luck and didn’t encounter the Four Great Primordial Spirits."
...
...
Everyone was ecstatic, but emerging from the Void was not the Peacock Great Ming King.
Instead, it was an old man in hemp clothing.
An old man in hemp clothing?
Upon seeing this person, everyone immediately became vigilant, assuming a combat stance.
The old man in hemp clothing had been mentioned by the Peacock Great Ming King.
It was said he was an extremely powerful being from the Outer World.
Among the Outer World People, the old man in hemp clothing’s strength far surpassed the Four Great Demon Kings under the Demon Lord, or the four disciples under Buddha.
While Lin Yuan’s side was tense and nervous, the old man in hemp clothing looked at ease and relaxed.
"Don’t be nervous; I’m not allied with the Demon Lord or Buddha; I don’t plan to fight you." The old man in hemp clothing said, noticing Lin Yuan in Human King Armor and holding the Human King Sword.
He scrutinized Lin Yuan and said, "Boy, you’ve obtained the Human King’s inheritance?"
"But you’re too weak, unlikely to achieve great things."
"The World Honored will achieve enlightenment in nine days. Even with the Human King’s inheritance, it will be difficult to stop him. Nine days is too short a time."
"If granted nine hundred years, you could indeed challenge the World Honored."
From the old man’s words, it was clear that his respect was for the Human King Armor and Human King Sword, not Lin Yuan.
Upon arrival, the old man in hemp clothing gave Lin Yuan a critical assessment.
"Senior, why have you come this time?" Lin Yuan asked.
The old man in hemp clothing didn’t mince words, asking, "Who is Lin Yuan?"
"I am!" Lin Yuan responded.
The old man in hemp clothing looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Your father-in-law, the Peacock Great Ming King, asked me to give you a message. He’s fine, very safe, and asked you to take care of Mengmeng."
"Additionally, he will come for the battle in nine days."
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Elder Bai: "?????"
Everyone present: "?????"
Everyone looked bewildered, wondering what on earth happened to the Peacock Great Ming King.
Speaking for the group, Lin Yuan voiced everyone’s doubts: "Where is my father-in-law now?"
"Why hasn’t he returned?"
Logically, since the Peacock Great Ming King was not in mortal danger, he should have returned!
Xi Huang didn’t hide anything and recounted the events to Lin Yuan truthfully.
Even the wager between the Peacock Great Ming King and Wa Huang was disclosed.
To Xi Huang, there was no reason to hide such matters.
Hearing that the Peacock Great Ming King was trapped in Wa Huang’s Palace, yet was still trying to join the battle in nine days to lend a hand, Lin Yuan felt deeply moved.
To save the Peacock Great Ming King, a bold idea emerged in Lin Yuan’s mind.
