Chapter 470 Rescue
For three days in a row, there was no movement at the stone gate, and no one except the guards went in or out.

The two strange guards stared blankly at the azure sea.

This job, though easy and simple, is certainly quite boring.

"How boring, didn't that old man already give in?"

The young guard was still full of complaints.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged guard said, "They should be here soon, in the next couple of days. I heard that Lord Yueming will be coming in person this time! You better behave yourself, kid."

The young guard's expression changed slightly.

Empress Wu!
He had never seen a Martial Emperor before.

Moreover, according to legend, this Lord Yueming has lived for over a thousand years and is far more than just an ordinary Martial Emperor.

He was also a powerful figure among the Martial Emperors.

Although he only has a few years left to live, no one dares to provoke him easily.

"How long do you think Lord Yueming has lived? I heard it's been two thousand years."

"how could I know?"

Why don't you take a guess?

The two bored guards chatted idly.

They did not discover that a giant whale was lurking deep in the ocean, right under their noses.

Inside the whale's body, under dim lighting, everyone sat cross-legged, closing their eyes to rest.

After waiting for three days, apart from Dong Yunan controlling the sea monsters to monitor them, everyone else was quietly adjusting their state.

"coming."

As seawater rushed in, Dong Yunan, who had disappeared for a day, reappeared.

Everyone opened their eyes, stood up, stretched their limbs, and prepared for battle.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng asked.

Dong Yunan looked somewhat tired. She quickly said, "Twelve extraordinary people have arrived. Some of their faces are familiar; they are the Spirit King and the Martial King. The leader is an old man wearing a red robe. This old man is thin on the upper body and very bloated on the lower body. The others are very respectful to him!"

"The one who can command the respect of a king must be Yue Ming, who has lived for over a thousand years."

Bu Zheng guessed.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.

Although everyone knew about Yue Ming before the mission, they still harbored a glimmer of hope.

What if he wasn't there?

After all, it's understandable that an old man who is nearing death might have health problems or not like to go out.

The appearance of the moon instantly made the atmosphere heavy.

Despite their glorious record, they have never fought against an emperor.

Moreover, besides Yue Ming, there are eleven other kings, and although the exact number of other guarding forces is unknown, it is certainly not small.

This task is absolutely hellish in difficulty.

Zhou Yi looked bewildered, his body trembling slightly.

To him, a king was already a legendary figure, let alone an emperor.

Your Majesty!

Those are the top-tier combat force in China, the nation's most revered members. Only thirteen of them are publicly known, enjoying the respect of the entire nation.

He could hardly believe that this mission would involve him 'fighting' against the emperor.

This task is absolutely ridiculously awesome.

But if I tell you that, I'm afraid no one will believe me!

"I suddenly feel a little regretful," Ye Xing said with a wry smile.

"How to do?"

Bu Zheng looked at Lin Feng and asked.

The key to this mission is Lin Feng.

Only by using the 'Substitute' soul skill can Old Zhou be saved.

This god-level soul skill is also the main reason why they were able to obtain this mission.

"I'll adapt to the situation. Leave the Emperor to me, and you can handle the rest of the Kings."

Lin Feng said.

He had no plan.

Because this task was not planned at all.

He could only pray that Elder Zhou was not bound, so that the substitute soul skill could be used.

"That's all."

Lin Feng's calm tone gradually put everyone at ease.

“Continue to observe, Zhou Yi. Tell me as soon as your grandfather appears.”

Lin Feng said.

"Ah."

"know."

Dong Yunan and Zhou Yi responded simultaneously.

Upon discovering Lord Yueming and his entourage, the two guards immediately knelt down, pressing their heads firmly against the damp ground, not daring to look up.

The hierarchy in the Divine Martial Continent is very strict; given their status, they don't even have the right to look directly at someone.

"I didn't expect you to hide him here. No wonder the Chinese leadership gave up."

Flapping her spiritual wings, Yoruichi looked at the stone gate on the cliff edge with a somewhat surprised expression.

No force could be indifferent to Zhou Chengfeng, who possesses the most powerful brain, but who would have thought that he would be imprisoned in this endless sea?

It is still hidden within this cliff edge.

"Even if they knew, what could they do? They had no chance of getting close."

Moonlit floated in mid-air, its bloodshot eyes scanning the surroundings before looking down at the seabed, finding nothing unusual.

Hearing Yoruichi's words, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

He wasn't too worried about Zhou Chengfeng being rescued.

This cliff is shrouded in an array. If an outsider tries to force their way in, he can sense it instantly. Moreover, there is only one entrance to this place, which is the stone gate.

Even if someone manages to force their way in, all they'll get is Zhou Chengfeng's corpse.

Yueming and the others landed in front of the stone gate, not even glancing at the two kneeling guards.

“Leave five people to guard it.”

Yue Ming said.

Although he didn't think there would be any problems, he still remained cautious.

After all, Zhou Chengfeng is very important and cannot be lost.

Only when the stone door opened and everyone disappeared did the two guards dare to raise their heads.

"Everyone has entered the stone gate."

Dong Yunan said.

"Then let's begin preparations."

Lin Feng said, while opening his mouth and spitting out bubbles. The transparent bubbles flew towards everyone, quickly growing larger and enveloping them.

Inside the bubble, people can breathe freely without being immersed in seawater, although their movement is somewhat slow.

Huge bubbles floated out of the whale's mouth, drifting ten meters below the surface.

The atmosphere was slightly tense as they waited; the battle was about to begin, and this time it was a battle against the emperor.

in the cave.

"grown ups."

The eighteen guards who were watching all knelt down and respectfully said.

"grown ups."

Jiu Xing approached Yue Ming and bowed slightly.

Yue Ming ignored him and looked at Zhou Chengfeng instead.

At this moment, Zhou Chengfeng's body stiffened slightly. He turned to look at Yue Ming, who was walking slowly towards him, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred and fear.

"long time no see."

Yue Ming approached Zhou Chengfeng and said with a smile.

He didn't care about Zhou Chengfeng's gaze; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied.

He enjoys seeing the hatred and fear on the enemy's face.

Yoruichi's gaze swept over Zhou Chengfeng, her eyes gleaming. This scholarly old man didn't seem particularly special, but he was a top talent coveted by various countries and major powers around the world.

Obtaining him means possessing all kinds of top-tier cultivation techniques and martial arts, as well as the evolution paths of various demon spirits.

This is only one aspect of Zhou Chengfeng's value.

Such talent is far more important than an emperor.

If he could, he would want to kidnap it directly.

Therefore, he was willing to break ties with Yue Ming.

But clearly, he couldn't do it, which is why Yue Ming dared to let him follow.

"It would have been so much better if you had done this sooner. Why suffer all that pain and torment?" Yue Ming asked with a smile.

"If you want me to extend your life, you must first sign a soul contract. Once it is successful, you will set me free. You are not allowed to make any threats, nor are you allowed to use the lives of other humans as a threat. This is the premise for me to extend your life."

Zhou Chengfeng said in a firm tone.

He did this on purpose.

Although he couldn't extend Yue Ming's life, he didn't want Yue Ming to suspect his sudden change.

"Your value is to extend my life. If I succeed, there's no need to imprison you." Yue Ming nodded slightly.

That's absolutely true.

He was also worried that Zhou Chengfeng wouldn't give it his all, knowing that he didn't have more than two years left to live.

Zhou Chengfeng was his only hope for a successful prolongation of his life.

Seeing that Yue Ming agreed, Zhou Chengfeng glanced at the corpses scattered not far away, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Even though he had agreed, Jiu Xing did not stop the game.

Three days later, everyone was dead.

The two young children were no exception.

"As long as you succeed in extending your life, no one else will die because of you."

Noticing Zhou Chengfeng's gaze, Yue Ming spoke.

"Haha, you're so kind."

Zhou Chengfeng sneered, his mockery obvious.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to an adult! Kneel down!"

Jiu Xing suddenly rebuked Zhou Chengfeng.

He was used to doing this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He was about to step forward and teach Zhou Chengfeng a lesson when Yue Ming slapped him, interrupting him: "Don't be so loud, it's not good to scare him."

At this moment, Yue Ming only wanted to successfully prolong his life, not to provoke Zhou Chengfeng.

"Yes."

Having been slapped, Jiu Xing lowered his head, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

The others watched coldly, some with sneers on their lips. They thought, "Even if you want to curry favor with an adult, you need to use your brain."

"Since you've agreed, let's go," Yue Ming said to Zhou Chengfeng.

"Kill him, and I will extend your life!"

Zhou Chengfeng stood up, looked at Jiu Xing who had just reprimanded him, and said with a smile.

At this moment, he seemed to have torn away the refinement of a scholar, his expression revealing a hint of ruthlessness and madness.

Jiu Xing's expression changed, and his gaze toward Zhou Chengfeng was filled with murderous intent, but he dared not make any move.

"What, you want to kill me?" Zhou Chengfeng asked.

Nine lines of silence.

By then, he had already regretted it.

Yue Ming didn't move, she just stared at Zhou Chengfeng.

Although he agreed to sign the soul contract, he had no intention of following in Zhou Chengfeng's footsteps.

"You've already made a condition."

Zhou Chengfeng flicked his robe, sat back down, and laughed, "Is that so? Then that's the second condition. If anyone else provokes me, perhaps there will be a third condition."

Yue Ming suppressed her smile, and Zhou Chengfeng appeared fearless at this moment.

That's incredibly arrogant!

But this arrogance completely dispelled his doubts.

"Do you threaten me?"

Yue Ming asked, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Zhou Chengfeng nodded very seriously: "Yes, don't doubt it, I'm threatening you right now."

Faced with Zhou Chengfeng, who seemed to have fallen into madness, Yue Ming's expression was indifferent, but she felt helpless.

If anyone else had defied him and dared to speak to him like that, he would have killed them long ago without wasting a word.

But he was truly helpless when faced with Zhou Chengfeng.

He doesn't have much time left; he can't afford to drag this out.

He needs Zhou Chengfeng's willing cooperation to prolong his life.

If Zhou Chengfeng is unwilling, there's nothing he can do.

This human was incredibly tough; he had tried various forms of torture against him before, but all had failed.

At this point, he didn't want to take any further action against Zhou Chengfeng, as it wouldn't do him any good.

He didn't want anything to go wrong.

Thinking of this, Yue Ming looked at Jiu Xing, who had spoken earlier.

At this moment, Jiu Xing's body trembled slightly. He was filled with extreme regret. If he had another chance, he would never have scolded Zhou Chengfeng.

He knew this was Zhou Chengfeng's deliberate revenge, retaliation for the torment he had inflicted on him in the past.

But without that reprimand, perhaps nothing would have happened.

"Then you only have yourself to blame..."

Yue Ming spoke slowly. Jiu Xing's face turned pale, and he took a step forward, instinctively wanting to run away, even though he knew there was no way he could escape.

Sure enough, before he could take a step, a two-meter-long arm covered in jet-black scales pierced his heart.

This arm, like a venomous snake, pierced Jiu Xing's heart and then, like a bolt of lightning, retracted into Yue Ming's abdomen and disappeared.

The next second, a clear chewing sound could be heard.

Clearly, that mouth was now devouring the heart.

Seeing their companions die tragically—three kings dying in just one day—caused the expressions of the others to change repeatedly.

Although they disliked Jiu Xing and were not saddened by his death, as fellow rulers, they also felt a sense of shared sorrow for his passing.

"It's so fast!"

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Yoru's eyes.

In order to prolong his life, Yue Ming underwent a comprehensive transformation of his body, which is why he has been able to live to this day.

In retrospect, the results of this renovation are surprisingly good.

The speed of that arm's attack was so fast that it surprised him.

"Are you satisfied?"

After killing Jiu Xing, Yue Ming looked at Zhou Chengfeng and asked coldly.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Zhou Chengfeng stood up and said with a smile.

Taking down a top-tier player ahead of schedule is an unexpected bonus.

"Stay with me."

Yue Ming said, and Zhou Chengfeng did not resist. He came to his side, less than a meter away. The others surrounded the two of them and walked towards the cave exit.

In the dimly lit cave, the group walked slowly. Zhou Chengfeng followed behind Yue Ming, and behind him was another king.

"How to do?"

Zhou Chengfeng's face remained calm, but he was extremely anxious inside.

He is ready.

He could sense that his descendants were less than a hundred meters away from him.

In this anxious and tense mood, Zhou Chengfeng followed Yue Ming out of the stone gate. He saw the sky, heard the sound of the waves, and smelled the sea.

This was the first time in five years that he had seen the outside world.

He looked somewhat excited at that moment.

Yue Ming had been watching Zhou Chengfeng closely. Seeing his excited expression, she smiled and said, "This is the taste of freedom, as long as you can extend my life."

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Ming's expression suddenly changed, and a black shadow shot out. But Zhou Chengfeng had already disappeared, and a strange human youth appeared in front of him, his right hand gripping his arm.
