Chapter 471: The Anger of the Summer Emperor

Why did Li Hui want to build an altar at the peak of Mount Tai? Because sealing this mountain required an unending supply of talisman power, so that the Boundless Cliff Thunder Peak Talisman could withstand it. Otherwise, disasters would inevitably arise.

“Right here; let’s call it Peace Peak from now on!” He began to set up, using his current abilities. Despite lacking treasures in hand, he simplified the process to a great extent, drawing symbols on a few stones, which held significance. Then, he devised a way to bury the altar within the mountaintop.

In the future, if he traveled far, this high altar could provide an accurate location, like establishing a lighthouse, preventing him from becoming lost.

The area around Zhuang Mountain cleared up; all the mist dissipated, revealing a majestic mountain that rose high into the sky, with its peak out of sight.

After arranging everything, Li Hui shot down from the peak like a bolt of lightning.

The Ghost Emperor had already broken free from underground and was battling the Bull Demon King fiercely, still cursing loudly. He was truly enraged today.

That winged monster fish circled around the Stone Stele, gathering a large body of water from who knows where, and reformed a lake at the foot of the mountain.

The Inkui Demon Claw Fish had returned as well, merging dark energy and demonic energy into the lake, rapidly creating an environment suitable for their growth. It seemed highly territorial, not allowing other evil spirits or demons to approach.

Li Hui glanced over and thought, “This winged monster fish must have been summoned by the Great Xia’s national fortune. These Inkui Demon Claw Fish are likely left behind by the cultivators who previously used this stele, trying to counteract the murky qi with poison.”

“Kid, you’re dead for sure! This emperor will exhaust all my strength to eliminate you today!” Zhao Yuxi roared.

“Talking about fate with me, Ghost Emperor? Oh, I understand now.” Li Hui’s eyes were incredibly keen. With a slight gaze, he discerned the hidden secrets and chuckled, “I see there’s a dragon vein here, and not just one! You drew Dragon Energy to cultivate and became a Ghost Emperor, and you also possess a Jade Seal from who knows where, which keeps your corpse intact. Thus, you are both a Ghost Emperor and a zombie. However, you caused chaos before and suffered heavy injuries from my sect’s true disciples, and now you look no more than mid-stage Bosa in cultivation.”

“Damn it! It’s Jin Tian Sect again!” Zhao Yuxi was exasperated. However, this disciple from the Jin Tian Sect was too cunning, releasing a terrifying Bull Demon using a jade symbol. The club in its hand was intimidating; even if he wanted to charge at his opponent for a mutual demise, it was impossible.

Li Hui made his move, lightly grabbing, causing a loud explosion around the Ghost Emperor.

“No, how can this be…” Zhao Yuxi was taken aback, utterly shocked by the unexpected turn; all the Dragon Energy he had painstakingly consumed flowed away from him.

Li Hui held a ball of golden light in his hand, along with a large jade seal.

“Boom!” As he grasped the jade seal, it shattered, revealing a copper seal the size of a baby fist. Li Hui nodded, saying, “I thought the aura seemed familiar! It truly is the official seal of the Ancient Dynasty. No wonder you can control thousands of miles of land and gather all nearby spirits; you once aspired to establish the dark court.”

“Return my Jade Seal!” Zhao Yuxi reached out, but his body collapsed. All his cultivation vanished overnight, unable to even retain his mid-stage Bosa abilities. The Bull Demon King grabbed him by the neck and violently swung him, releasing his ghostly soul.

Li Hui pressed the golden light into the ground, commanding, “Return from where you came, nourish this land, and ensure life flourishes here.”

“Boom, boom, boom…” The Dragon Energy returned to its place, and tiny flowers and grasses rapidly sprouted on the ground. In no time, the once-bare Mount Tai became lush with greenery.

“Spare me, great one! Please, for the sake of our lineage that studied the stele, spare my little emperor!” Zhao Yuxi knelt and pleaded for mercy. A wise man does not suffer unnecessary losses; only by surviving can he rise again.

“Dissipate the dark energy; I want to see your origin.” Li Hui grabbed the ghostly soul and took a step forward, his form already catching up with the Surveillance Pavilion. This was the power of the void escape using the Ideal Body.

“Eh?” Ruan Xingxing did not expect that, after just leading the spiritual farmers and cultivators out of Zhuang Mountain’s territory, this mysterious fellow who dared to laugh in front of her would chase after them. She still couldn’t discern his abilities, and in such a short time, he seemed to have changed.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Xingxing, for rescuing everyone.” Li Hui expressed his sincere gratitude. If these people had still been near Zhuang Mountain, they would have either been buried under the earth or crushed under the stone walls, with none surviving.

“Hmph, you still call me Senior Sister; I ought to be your Senior Sister!” Ruan Xingxing placed her hands on her hips and declared, “Stop talking nonsense; hand over the benefits!”

“Alright, what has Chuchu been busy with lately?” Li Hui casually asked, waving his hand to release a pile of miscellaneous items, cluttering the upper platform of the Surveillance Pavilion. These things were naturally taken from Zhao Yuxi.

“Haha, so you’re a big shot!” Ruan Xingxing laughed her iconic laugh. “Chuchu has been very busy lately; she wants to break into the hundred-people list and is preparing to fight in the demon lair.”

“The sect plans to take action against the demon lair?” Li Hui was astonished.

“Are you really one of us from Jin Tian Sect? After the position of Sleepy Moon Ridge was revealed, the court sent troops to garrison it. Those old bones from the Qintian Monitor have calculated that the demon lair is allied with the Yin Moon Dynasty and have taken precautions. The Summer Emperor was cursed, suspected to be the work of the demon lair, and the royal family has repeatedly invited Jin Tian Sect to take action. Other sects are probably in the midst of intense battles right now.”

“It seems many events occurred while I was in seclusion for months, and the Summer Emperor’s curse actually spread so quickly?” Li Hui turned and walked away. He needed to head to the demon lair, as he could not shake the worry for his sister-in-law Ji Mengxue.

“Wait, I’m coming too.” Ruan Xingxing shouted as her figure vanished from sight.

Void escape, vanishing into the void!!!

The Qi of Taiqing surged high, as the Ideal Body measured the land. The Seize the Day Talisman accelerated the flow of time, and before long, Li Hui reached the outskirts of the demon lair, landing at Demon Feather Mountain.

The area was left in ruin, dotted with massive pits wide as a hundred zhang, remnants from several Masters from the All-Manifestation Realm who had forcibly attacked this mountain.

From a distance, countless bright golden palaces floated in the sky. A booming voice resonated throughout the land: “This emperor Lu Dun, since taking the throne, has not been diligent, causing the world to fall into deep waters and burning fires. Now, faced with a great calamity, my life might soon end; yet even in death, I will drag the demon lair into hell.”

His words were filled with boundless Hatred. Li Hui understood that this generation’s Summer Emperor wanted to wash the rivers and mountains in blood before dying, starting with eliminating the demon lair, this malignant tumor. If Zhao Yuxi were still around, he would afterward flatten Zhuang Mountain and likely clash with the Yin Moon Dynasty’s army to ensure the ancestral estate was safely passed down to future generations.

“Kill! Today, I shall taste the fury of an emperor bloodied by the sea!” A roar echoed from the grand hall. The high and mighty emperor had been schemed against, with death near at hand. One could imagine the extent of his anger as he summoned masters from various sects to exterminate the demons.

Li Hui asked Zhao Yuxi, “Where are your armies? You’ve waited many years, and you can’t possibly only have this little bit of foundation in Zhuang Mountain, right? When I observed the celestial phenomena, I noticed your fate was intertwined with the Yin Moon Dynasty.”

“Don’t mention it. This emperor is gravely injured and feared that my subordinates would notice and ride on my back. So the Ghost Fox Sect approached me, and I took the opportunity to send all my ghost generals and ministers away. Speaking of which, I definitely used the stele incorrectly; otherwise, Zhuang Mountain wouldn’t have only grown five hundred zhang over the years.”

“Do you blood sacrifice that many people each time you cultivate?” Li Hui was already preparing to strike Zhao Yuxi down.
