Chapter 668: Chapter 377: Patrol, Mount Li, Serendipitous Encounter (Part 4)
"I understand."
Then he asked some questions about the Lingyue Kingdom, to which the local land deity answered everything in detail.
After asking, he casually took a peach from his pocket and tossed it over:
"That’s all, you may go back."
The local land deity instinctively caught the peach, eyes wide open, and hurriedly bowed:
"Thank you, Immortal Envoy, this old man thanks the Immortal Envoy."
After expressing gratitude several times, he left with his land shrinking ability.
"Let’s go and take a look at Lingyue City."
Su Yu waved his sleeve and soared into the air, flying in the direction of the Lingyue Kingdom’s royal city as pointed out by the local deity.
Soon he reached near Lingyue City, concealed his presence, and approached the palace, sensing that there were cultivators inside and outside the palace. Although their levels were not high, mostly Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, there were only two Celestial Immortals and one True Immortal, who was presumably the Sovereign of Lingyue Kingdom.
Su Yu landed on the palace square, and in less than ten seconds, he sensed something. He turned around to see a middle-aged man in a bright yellow brocade robe walking towards him, indeed a fellow clan member.
"As soon as I saw the situation in this Lingyue Kingdom, I knew there was someone from our clan here. Are you the Sovereign of this Lingyue Kingdom?"
The man nodded with a smile:
"I am indeed Li Lingfeng, the Sovereign of Lingyue Kingdom. It’s been a long time since a fellow clan member came here, I apologize for not greeting you from afar."
"I am just passing through."
Li Lingfeng asked with curiosity:
"Passing through?"
"Yes, I was just transferred to the Celestial Court, serving as a Patrol Envoy in the Northern Dipper Star Palace. My first patrol mission is the Li Mountain Range."
"So you are a Patrol Immortal Envoy, you have accomplished great things at a young age, Dao You."
"It’s just average."
"By the way, Dao You, your cultivation is quite profound. Why are you here in a mortal kingdom acting as a sovereign?"
"Bound by karma."
Li Lingfeng explained:
"In my youth, by chance, I strayed far from the Cyan Immortal Domain and arrived at Dongsheng Shenzhou, where I was saved by the then Sovereign of Lingyue Kingdom. Later I became his disciple and married his daughter. Ten thousand years ago, before the Sovereign passed away, he entrusted Lingyue Kingdom to me, and I have held this position ever since."
"I see."
Su Yu nodded in understanding, then asked:
"Li Dao You, have you not returned in all this time?"
"I cannot find the time."
Li Lingfeng replied with a bitter smile:
"Lingyue Kingdom is surrounded by mountains, and outside the kingdom, there are monsters everywhere. Many Demon Kings come from time to time to eat our people. If I return, it would take at least five or six years. Once I leave, no one can resist the Demon Kings, and who knows how many of our clan would be killed by these monsters."
"Hmm..."
Su Yu frowned and asked:
"Haven’t you sought help from the clan?"
"There is Celestial Pillar Mountain in the Li Mountain Range. You can offer a reward there or write a letter to seek help from the clan."
Li Lingfeng nodded at first, then shook his head and said:
"I have sought help, but this approach only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. The clan has sent several experts to clear out the surrounding Demon Kings, but there’s an endless number of monsters and spirit monsters in the mountains. They cannot all be killed. After a few decades, new Demon Kings will emerge again, it’s an unending battle."
"Is there any way to treat the root cause?"
Rarely encountering a fellow clan member, and a True Immortal at that, Su Yu decided to help him.
Li Lingfeng’s level is very high, currently at level 481, belonging to the late stage of True Immortal, very close to Profound Immortal, with the potential to advance. He is considered top-tier strength in the clan.
If he can be freed, he will be a great asset when the civilization war begins.
The outcome of the civilization war and whether humans can reclaim the protagonist of destiny is crucial for Su Yu. He is confident that he will eventually advance to Da Luo and certainly be the strongest of the Human Race. If the Human Race wins and reclaims the destiny protagonist, he stands to gain the most.
This civilization war could give birth to a new Saint. If his strength is sufficient, he will undoubtedly be the first choice for the feedback of civilization’s fortune.
He can’t completely rely on repairing the Chaos Beads to prove his path. One cannot rely on things not yet achieved.
Who knows if the remaining Dinghai Beads can all be acquired? This is not a complete certainty.
Besides, even if it’s certain, it wouldn’t prevent him from proving the path of Hunyuan besides proving the way with power.
