80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 139 - Slaying Demonic Creatures

Chapter 139: Slaying Demonic Creatures

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Receiving the Death Surrogate Puppet as a sign-in reward was a pleasant surprise for Lin Jiufeng.
It was rare for him to receive something like this.
This was because these types of items all had miraculous effects, and they were all heaven-defying. Hence, it was very difficult for him to receive something like this as a sign-in reward.
For example, the Death Surrogate Puppet could die for someone once.
This effect alone was heaven-defying.
But…
It seemed to be useless for Lin Jiufeng.
He probably wouldn’t be able to use it, but keeping it was still good.
After signing in, Lin Jiufeng began to size up the underground cave.
The cave was hundreds of feet long and wide. It was huge, bottomless, and shrouded in darkness.
Even with Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, he could only vaguely see some demonic creatures inside.
It was no wonder that 36 Buddhist monks were needed to suppress the creatures in this place.
If one wasn’t a supreme powerhouse, it would be very difficult to suppress such a huge underground cave.
Fortunately, the array formation that Miss Hong had set up back then was created by the members of the Heavenly Dao Sect by combining the world’s energies into the array formation.
Its ingenuity made it so that it was still effective to this day.
As Lin Jiufeng was staring at the demon’s den, a demonic creature was also staring at him.
Their eyes met.
The demonic creature’s eyes were bloody, terrifying, and filled with killing intent.
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were indifferent, calm, and emotionless.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng remembered an adage.
When you stared into the abyss, the abyss would stare back at you.
Roar!
All of a sudden, the demonic creature let out a loud roar and directly rushed forward, repeating its previous actions from earlier.
The surging demonic energy it radiated coalesced into a skull.
But it was obvious that it was slightly weaker than the previous skull earlier.
This demonic creature was not the same demonic creature as before.
Rumble!
The demonic creature rushed forward once again, shocking the monks of the Dalin Temple.
The exhausted 36 old monks were dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?”
“Doesn’t this only happen once every seven days?”
“We’ve just suppressed it, yet it’s already charging at us again?”
“Enough talk! Hurry up and suppress it!”
The old monks sat in their corners one by one.
Ignoring their exhaustion, they executed their Buddhist divine abilities.
But it seemed to be too late.
The demonic creature was about to rush over.
The old monks were apprehensive.
They couldn’t let the demonic creature rush up to them. If they didn’t suppress it in time, it might directly rush to the seal.
The seal was already unstable to begin with, it couldn’t withstand that kind of impact anymore.
If the demonic creature rushed at it a few more times, the seal would break.
When that happened, no solution could be done anymore.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the anxious old monks and the ferocious-looking demonic creature that was about to rush up to the seal.
He calmly stepped forward.
Dong!
A terrifying force rushed out from beneath Lin Jiufeng’s feet.
The force passed through the seal and directly collided against the demonic creature.
Boom!
The demonic creature was directly vaporized. It didn’t even manage to let out a scream.
The quaking demon’s den immediately became silent.
The old monks who were busy mobilizing and gathering their True Qi looked at each other in confusion.
What happened?
Why did the demonic creature disappear?
The True Qi that they had just mobilized, should they continue to gather them or not?
They didn’t know what to do!
The 36 old monks were bewildered.
But the onlooker, Monk Qingyun, had an inkling of what had just happened.
He looked in Lin Jiufeng’s direction, his eyes were filled with shock. He had seen it clearly just now. Before his Uncle-Masters could gather their energy together, a huge force came crashing down and directly vaporized the demonic creature.
There was definitely someone else here!
Monk Qingyun casually stated. “Uncle-Masters, you guys have worked hard today. Now that the underground cave has become quiet once again, you should hurry back to rest and recuperate. I will guard this place. If there are any problems, I will inform you all.”
The old monks looked at each other in confusion.
But under the urging of Monk Qingyun, they soon left one by one.
Lin Jiufeng watched Monk Qingyun’s every move without saying a word.
He knew that Monk Qingyun had guessed that there was someone else around.
Sure enough, after persuading the old monks to return, Monk Qingyun walked in.
He cupped his fists solemnly and stated. “Monk Qingyun of Dalin Temple greets the senior. Senior, please show yourself!”
Lin Jiufeng replied faintly, “Are you sure that you want to see me?”
Back then, Monk Qingyun was quite frightened by Lin Jiufeng.
When Miss Hong asked him to deliver all sorts of books to him later on, he only dared to place them in front of the Cold Palace’s gates before leaving in a hurry.
Did Monk Qingyun become bolder after all these years?
“Senior, please show yourself,” replied Monk Qingyun firmly.
Lin Jiufeng dispersed the veil of the Great Dao and no longer concealed his figure.
Qingyun’s body visibly stiffened.
He recalled his determination just now and felt ashamed.
Was it too late for regrets?
The biggest shadow of Monk Qingyun’s life was when he was suppressed by Lin Jiufeng in the Cold Palace back in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
The scene was still vivid in his mind.
Despite already being a Supremacy Realm expert, Monk Qingyun still found the scene of him being suppressed by Lin Jiufeng as terrifying. It was his scariest encounter with someone else to date.
Because at that time, he really had no ability to fight back against Lin Jiufeng.
He was just like an ant facing a god high up in the sky.
That kind of fear had been engraved in Monk Qingyun’s heart.
Monk Qingyun looked at Lin Jiufeng.
He squeezed out an awkward smile and said, “Greetings, Senior.”
Especially Lin Jiufeng’s face, which hadn’t changed much in decades.
His aura, which had become even more unfathomable, also made Monk Qingyun uneasy.
He worked hard and eventually arrived at the Supremacy Realm.
After ascending to the Supremacy Realm, Monk Qingyun started to think that he was already a powerhouse.
But despite all of that, he still couldn’t see through Lin Jiufeng.
The Lin Jiufeng in front of him was like an immortal that had descended unto the mortal realm.
He was peerless and unrivaled.
Just at what realm was this terrifying senior at?
“It’s been decades since we last met. Do you still remember me?” Lin Jiufeng teased.
Qingyun was ashamed.
He truly wanted to forget Lin Jiufeng.
But how could he forget Lin Jiufeng?
The latter had already become a shadow in his life—an inner demon to be precise.
“Senior, what brought you here?” Monk Qingyun hurriedly changed the subject.
Lin Jiufeng pointed at the demon’s den.
It was obvious.
“How old is this thing?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
Seeing Lin Jiufeng’s calm expression, the anxiety in Monk Qingyun’s heart lessened.
He replied in a low voice, “It has been a thousand years since our Dalin Temple discovered it. We found out its existence in the previous era. When the ancestors of the Dalin Temple discovered it, the seal was already very weak. In order to protect the common people, we built the Dalin Temple here…”
“Furthermore, the eminent monks of the past generations have tried their best to maintain the stability of the seal.”
“But unfortunately, a few decades ago…”
“The recovery of the world’s spiritual energy started and the seal was broken.”
“When the demonic creatures emerged, they were about to wreak havoc in the Jiangnan area. But they were stopped by Miss Hong who appeared at that time and suppressed the demonic creatures.”
“She then set up a great sealing array which lasted until now.” Monk Qingyun explained.
“How many demonic creatures are there underground?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“I didn’t count them in detail, but according to the statistics from the past thousand years, there should be around a thousand of them.” Monk Qingyun said with uncertainty.
Basically, there were a lot of them.
“If these 1000 demonic creatures broke out from the seal, the common people of the world will definitely suffer,” said Monk Qingyun with a sigh.
Lin Jiufeng nodded. Monk Qingyun was right.
The demon’s den that he suppressed in the Cold Palace was filled with beastly demons, but they were clear-headed.
Most of those beastly demons weren’t existences that would kill wantonly.
But the demonic creatures here were different.
Lin Jiufeng had seen their bloodthirsty looks just now and he knew at one glance that they were up to no good.
