Chapter 403: Chapter 271 Luzhou in the North

When considering the actions of Demon King Mara, it’s hard not to speculate that the Jade Emperor and this western Demon King have some plans afoot.

"It seems a storm is brewing in the Three Realms," Lin Fang murmured as he gazed at the brilliant lotuses blooming in the pond.

During this period, he had been hiding in the Demon Realm, keeping a low profile, firstly to sort out his practice of cultivation and to strengthen his own foundation.

After all, with the future of the Three Realms being so unpredictable, with various forces taking their turns to enter the fray, and with the inevitable battle between the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court, he had to hurry to strengthen his own power; otherwise, facing the very top experts of the Three Realms, he would be no different from seeking death.

Although he didn’t want to get involved in these conflicts, "the tree longs for peace but the wind keeps blowing," and his relationship with Feng Jiu had already determined that he could not stay out of it.

Moreover, having made it to this world, if he couldn’t have a face-off with these top experts, it would be something he’d regret for life.

Now, having heard about the changes at Mount Ling, he quickly realized that the Supreme had made a move.

As expected, the Jade Emperor was still the same, a Hidden Dragon in the depths; when he made a move, it was a death blow. At least for a short while, it won’t be easy for Buddhism to recover its vitality.

Sitting firmly on the throne of the Lord of the Three Realms was indeed not a reputation for nothing. Facing such a person as an enemy, Lin Fang felt a twinge of fear and a tinge of excitement.

"Buddhism is too weak, aren’t they? They’ve been taken down so quickly."

Sitting beside Lin Fang was a small Cat Demon, who at the moment was wearing a comical straw hat on its head and holding a bamboo fishing rod, intently fishing in the pond. It said in surprise, upon hearing Lin Fang’s murmuring.

Bashan Tiger definitely had a psychological shadow about the Buddhist Sect. In those days, his group was chased by the Buddhists with no escape to heaven and no door into the earth; those life and death experiences were the most dangerous times in his life.

There was a moment when he even thought that he and the boss would die there. Yet Buddhism, so powerful, was now brought to such a state, which he found hard to accept for a moment.

"It’s not that Buddhism is weak, but that the Jade Emperor is too powerful. He orchestrated everything, using Mara’s existence to inflict heavy damage on Buddhism, so that it won’t be able to contend with the Heavenly Court for a while," Lin Fang said with a sigh.

The more he understood about the Supreme of the Three Realms, the more inscrutable he found him to be, like an endless abyss, no matter how one tried, one couldn’t glimpse the true face hidden in darkness.

"However, Buddhism won’t be so easy to deal with. Just watch, before long, Buddhism’s retaliation will follow," Lin Fang said with conviction.

But before that, the Supreme will probably be focused on Luzhou in the North. After all, among the Buddhist Sect, Heavenly Court, and Demon Court, the Heavenly Court is the strongest, Buddhism is next, and the Demon Court is the weakest. If he seizes this moment well, he could potentially eradicate the Demon Court, allowing him to fully concentrate on dealing with the Buddhist Sect.

"I hope Feng Jiu and the others can hold on," Lin Fang said with some worry.

He could imagine that Luzhou in the North was about to face a thunderous assault. This time, the Heavenly Court would not be all bark and no bite as in the past, it was sure to be a vast war.

For the monsters of Luzhou in the North who had just achieved unity, it was undoubtedly a terrible disaster. They had just started to live peaceful lives when a terrifying destruction loomed over this land that had suffered so much.

"Boss, are you saying that the Heavenly Court will next deal with Luzhou in the North?"

"Naturally. Otherwise, why would he go to the trouble of dealing a heavy blow to Buddhism, if not to free up his hands to concentrate on Luzhou in the North?"

"Why Luzhou in the North though!" Bashan Tiger protested loudly.

Although the Buddhist Sect was also an enemy, why not pursue their victory and instead turn around to deal with our side?

"Who’s to blame when we are weak?" Lin Fang said with profound meaning. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In this world, being weak meant having fewer choices, only able to drift with the current, and the Heavenly Court clearly wanted to make a swift and decisive move, taking the opportunity to annihilate the Demon Court before it could develop.

"Should we go help out?" Bashan Tiger asked with concern.

"No need to rush, the existence of the Demon Realm cannot be exposed; it is our foundation. As long as the Demon Realm exists, we always have the possibility of rising anew. Let the Jade Emperor go attack Luzhou in the North; we can take this opportunity to figure out the origins of this mysterious Mr. Mo."

Lin Fang believed that Feng Jiu could handle such a situation nowadays, and if the Jade Emperor underestimated her this time, he would surely suffer a great loss.

Meanwhile, in Luzhou in the North, where the Demon Court resided, the city, once destroyed by war, had revived after a period of development.

Under the Demon Court’s strategy of recuperation, the monsters of Luzhou in the North had been living well for a while, and the Demon Capital had started bustling again.

Countless monsters would visit this great city in their spare time to see the Demon Court as it was now.

Feng Jiu, accompanied by the Demon Master and others, walked casually down the streets of the Demon Capital, their presence disguised by mana, and as a result, the surrounding monsters paid them no attention.

Feng Jiu looked around curiously at the surroundings and said with a smile, "Who says the Demon Clan lacks creativity? Look, in such a short time, the Demon Capital has gained so many new things."

"These are imitations from the Human Clan; the things truly belonging to our creation are very few. However, as long as we continue to develop, one day our civilization will indeed be on par with the Human Clan," the Demon Master said with a sigh.

No matter how many times he saw this peaceful scene, he would never tire of it.

Once, such scenes existed only in his dreams, but now the dream had turned into reality, and the feeling of personally realizing dreams was exceptionally wonderful.

Therefore, the seemingly aged old man always wore a satisfied smile, like a friendly neighbor.

"Of course, by that time, I will surely make Lin Fang take a second look," Feng Jiu said somewhat proudly.

Being able to achieve such results in a short time was largely related to Lin Fang. If not for hearing so many examples from him, she wouldn’t be able to handle these matters as adeptly as she did now.

She also wondered how that guy was doing in the Heavenly Court and whether he was safe.

At that moment, Feng Jiu somewhat regretted having asked Lin Fang to go to the Heavenly Court to inquire about news of her old friend.

Just then, a woman holding a flower basket appeared on the street. The woman was dignified and beautiful, radiating a compassionate aura that made anyone seeing her feel a sense of goodwill.

As the woman walked down the street, the surrounding crowd would subconsciously clear a path for her, and she slowly made her way toward Feng Jiu and the others, her face adorned with a merciful smile.

"What could a Bodhisattva from Buddhism be up to, skulking about like this?"
