Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"I was wondering why members of the Rakshasa Race would appear nearby."

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and said, "Turns out they came for Elder Lin."

"What? Members of the Rakshasa Race are nearby?" Kuang Yunshan's face suddenly changed dramatically.

Flame Shadow frowned and asked, "Gu Chenfeng, did you sense them?"

"Yes." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "Shortly after arriving in Celestial Immortal City, I sensed a faint bloodline aura, precisely of the Rakshasa Race."

Lin Zhentian frowned fiercely, "I didn't expect that just after coming out of Nether Immortal Valley, they would find this old man."

"The Rakshasa Race is extremely powerful." Gu Chenfeng said indifferently, "The Rakshasa Race has existed for tens of thousands of years, counting as one of the Ancient Races, and they possess Bloodline Power that surpasses Immortal Power."

"The Rakshasa Race, though not numerous, is essentially strong in every individual, incomparable to any ordinary great power."

Kuang Yunshan looked at Gu Chenfeng in shock, unbelievably saying, "Brother Gu, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Rakshasa Race. Have you battled with them, Brother Gu?"

"More than just battled?" Flame Shadow smiled slightly, "If they hear the name 'Gu Chenfeng,' they'd be scared witless."

"So powerful?" Kuang Yunshan's eyes widened.

Gu Chenfeng continued, "The methods of the Rakshasa Race are cruel and cold-blooded. If Elder Lin survived, it's either a miracle or they didn't intend to annihilate everyone."

"What Young Master Feng says is correct." Lin Zhentian nodded, "The Rakshasa Race did not annihilate everyone, partly fearing ridicule from the Immortal Realm for bullying the weak, and partly because they didn't obtain the complete Relic Key."

"Elder Xing almost perished in that battle, and over the years, the Rakshasa Race has been secretly suppressing the Lin Family."

Kuang Yunshan continued, "As far as I know, many great powers have also taken the opportunity to suppress the Lin Family."

Gu Chenfeng looked at Lin Zhentian and said sternly, "Elder Lin, tell us what's really going on."

Lin Zhentian's expression was grave as he said solemnly, "Years ago, my Lin Family accidentally discovered a mysterious ancient relic and obtained the Relic Key."

"The relic contained endless Ancient treasures and powerful Ancient Immortal Technique Manuals. Originally, we thought it could allow my Lin Family to rise, but the information about the ancient relic was leaked to the Rakshasa Race, and they set their sights on it."

Flame Shadow frowned and asked in confusion, "How could such an important matter have leaked?"

Gu Chenfeng also frowned and asked, "Didn't the Lin Family keep the secret of the ancient relic?"

Lin Zhentian smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Young Master Feng, my Lin Family naturally wanted to keep it secret, but a traitor in the clan leaked the information to the Rakshasa Race."

"The Rakshasa Race sent people to coerce us into handing over the Relic Key, but my Lin Family naturally refused. Why should the ancient relic discovered by my Lin Family be given to them?"

Flame Shadow's eyes widened in anger, gritting his teeth, "The Rakshasa Race is so shameless! To think they are of the Ancient Races, pfft!"

Lin Zhentian took a deep breath and continued, "Seeing that my Lin Family wouldn't yield to pressure, the Rakshasa Race falsely accused my Lin Family of colluding with the Demon Realm to overthrow the Immortal Realm."

"How could my small Lin Family have such capabilities? Who would believe it except fools? This old man was almost infuriated to death back then."

"Not long after, the Rakshasa Race gathered many experts to launch a large-scale attack on my Lin Family. That battle was incredibly tragic."

At this point.

Lin Zhentian's eyes flickered with grief and indignation, his mind constantly replaying the images of Lin Family disciples being slaughtered, his heart wrenching in pain.

Lin Zhentian forced down his grief and anger, clenching his fists as he said furiously, "Many of my Lin Family disciples resisted courageously, but the strength of the Rakshasa Race was too overwhelming. Their Bloodline Power was far more powerful than Immortal Power, its might staggering, causing heavy casualties among my Lin Family disciples."

Kuang Yunshan gnashed his teeth, "These beasts!"

Gu Chenfeng frowned and asked, "Where exactly is the Relic Key?"

Lin Zhentian shook his head, "The Relic Key was divided into several parts, each held by different Elders in the clan. The Rakshasa Race hasn't obtained the complete key, and that's why they haven't wiped out my Lin Family."

Flame Shadow clenched his fists, saying angrily, "The Rakshasa Race is too oppressive! Relying on their strength, they dare to commit such shameless acts."

Lin Zhentian's eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent as he spoke ruthlessly, "Over the years, although my Lin Family has suffered suppression, we have secretly gathered strength, seeking an opportunity for revenge."

"Although the Lin Family struggles under the pressure from major powers, for the sake of the Lin Family, I, Lin Zhentian, will never easily yield. At worst, we'll perish together."

Lin Zhentian's emotions were a bit agitated, an intimidating aura involuntarily burst forth.

Everyone in the tavern was frightened and fled.

Gu Chenfeng furrowed his brows slightly, gravely saying, "The Lin Family's situation is extremely dangerous, and the Rakshasa Race is exceedingly powerful with determined interest in the ancient relic."

"Once the Rakshasa Race loses patience, the Lin Family is in grave danger."

Flame Shadow squinted, saying fiercely, "What's there to fear? One comes, we kill one; two come, we kill a pair. No matter how strong the Rakshasa Race is, if all of our great powers unite, are we afraid of them?"

"Do not underestimate the Rakshasa Race." Gu Chenfeng shook his head, "Over the years, the Rakshasa Race likely has individuals who have stepped into the Demigod Realm; with our strength, we simply cannot contend with them."

"Demigod Realm!" Flame Shadow's face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Demigod Realm?" Kuang Yunshan frowned in confusion, "What is that realm? Is it stronger than the Immortal Venerable? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"What Young Master Feng says is quite right." Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, worried, "The Rakshasa Race has always been cunning; we cannot let our guard down."

Gu Chenfeng drank a glass of wine, worriedly saying, "What I worry most about is the Lin Family Elders being captured by them. If they can find Elder Lin, they can naturally find the Lin Family Elders."

"At that time, if the keys held by the elders fall into the hands of the Rakshasa Race, they can use them to threaten Elder Lin. Elder Lin would find it difficult to choose and might eventually have no choice but to hand over the keys."

Lin Zhentian frowned and said, "Young Master Feng need not worry. I've set up a Barrier in the Lin Family. If it is breached, I will immediately destroy the key. The Rakshasa Race dares not act rashly."

"Even if they act, their target will be this old man."

"That would be best." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Nearby, Flame Shadow spoke, "Elder Lin, why not join the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion? The Rakshasa Race wouldn't dare act rashly."

"Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion?" Kuang Yunshan's expression shook, incredibly excited, "Brother Flame Shadow, I also want to join the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion!"

"As long as Young Master Feng does not disdain it, I would naturally be willing." Lin Zhentian smiled bitterly, "But I'm afraid I might bring cataclysmic disaster to the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion."

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly and said, "As long as Elder Lin is willing, it's fine. I've seen disasters far more terrifying; the Rakshasa Race is nothing."
