Legend of Reborn Alchemist

0To Lin Cheng, this was certainly not good news. However, he wasn't too worried. If the Great Devil below Devil-suppressing Cliff was going to break out of its seal... It would definitely be a disaster for anyone. However... He was powerless to stop it.    

    

Lin Cheng knew very well that there was no need to talk about the devil below Devil-suppressing Cliff. Even if it's just an ordinary demon, he may not be able to defeat it with his current strength. Even if he wanted to completely suppress or even kill the devil in his heart. However, that was only his wishful thinking.    

    

Once the devil broke its seal, the only thing Lin Cheng could do was to flee to another province. If no one could defeat the devil in the end, he could only die in battle with Zhu Ziqiao. That was all.    

    

Therefore, regardless of whether the devil broke the seal or not, it didn't affect Lin Cheng's determination to find Zhu Ziqiao. In fact, it was because he knew that the devil was about to break the seal. Lin Cheng's determination to save Zhu Ziqiao only became firmer and firmer.    

    

Even if they were to die, the two of them would die together.    

    

After leaving the tavern, Lin Cheng went straight to the Heavenly Star Sect to investigate the situation.    

    

Now, he had confirmed that the Travelling Boat was in the Heavenly Star Sect. However, did Ming Danjing come personally? Did Zhu Ziqiao also come? Lin Cheng hadn't seen it with his own eyes yet. Besides, even if they had come, they wouldn't be able to see it with their own eyes. How could they get close to Zhu Ziqiao? This also required careful consideration.    

    

However, before Lin Cheng could reach the Heavenly Star Sect, he suddenly heard a piece of news.    

    

"Heavenly Star Sect has gathered the ten major sects of Dongzhou to discuss a major matter!"    

    

This news was sent to him by Zhou Chuan.    

    

Lin Cheng immediately asked, "Are you sure?"    

    

If this news was true, it meant that he might have a chance to get close to Zhu Ziqiao.    

    

Zhou Chuan said, "There is no doubt about it. This is the news from Le Xuannian."    

    

Lin Cheng immediately felt relieved. When he left Longevity Sect, he had mentioned Le Xuannian to Zhou Chuan. Now it seemed like the two of them had already contacted each other.    

    

Since this news came from Le Xuannian, it meant that it was true.    

    

"Lin Cheng, the ten great sects are going to discuss a major matter. I feel that something major is about to happen." Zhou Chuan asked, "Could it be that Myriad Sword Sect or Unification Sect are targeting you?"    

    

Lin Cheng couldn't help but laugh. Although he had offended the Myriad Sword Sect and the Unification Sect at the same time, it was absurd to say that the ten major sects of Dongzhou were targeting him.    

    

"Elder Brother Zhou, the devils in Devil-suppressing Cliff are about to break out of their seals. The ten major sects might have mobilized their forces because of this. If possible, you'd better return to Unification Sect."    

    

Lin Cheng sent a message to Zhou Chuan.    

    

Once the devil broke out of its seal, it would certainly be a disaster to anyone. The entire Dongzhou might become the Devil Domain. At this time, the strongest force in the Dongzhou would be the ten great sects. No, the Longevity Sect had fallen. At most, there were only nine great sects left.    

    

Although the Unification Sect wasn't the strongest, it was still considered the strongest force in the Dongzhou. It was a very powerful sect. Furthermore... The Unification Sect still had the Mountain-protecting Great Array. At least, from the current situation, Zhou Chuan had returned to the Unification Sect. It should be the safest.    

    

"I will never return to the Unification Sect. Lin Cheng, be careful." Zhou Chuan's tone was firm.    

    

Lin Cheng didn't try to persuade him anymore, because he didn't know either. * Hong Long...... * If the devil had gone straight to the most powerful sect, perhaps it would be a mistake for him to persuade Zhou Chuan to return to Unification Sect.    

    

A few hours later, Lin Cheng arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Star Sect.    

    

At the entrance of the mountain, Lin Cheng was stopped by a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect who was in charge of guarding the entrance.    

    

"A few Fellow Taoists, I heard that senior Ming Danjing from Southern Domain has come to Dongzhou. I am here to pay you a visit." Lin Cheng cupped his fists and said with a smile.    

    

"You are here to pay a visit to the experts from the Southern Domain?"    

    

A few disciples of Heavenly Star Sect looked at each other and laughed. They could see that although the energy waves of the Spirit Power on Lin Cheng's body were not weak, it was only an Incarnation Stage cultivator. Furthermore, there wasn't a single mark on his body. Clearly, he was a rogue cultivator.    

    

Such a person wanted to pay a visit to the experts of Southern Domain? He actually dared to say that he wanted to pay a visit?    

    

"How can you meet the experts of Southern Domain as you wish? Leave at once!" One of the Heavenly Star Sect disciples shouted angrily.    

    

"This..."    

    

Lin Cheng hesitated, but when he saw the disciple staring at him, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Sorry to bother you, I'll be taking my leave now!"    

    

Looking at Lin Cheng's panic-stricken back, the disciples of Heavenly Star Sect burst into laughter once again.    

    

"Another idiot who wants to reach the sky in a single bound!"    

    

"Ridiculous!"    

    

They did not know that their mockery had clearly reached Lin Cheng's ears. He could not help shaking his head and did not care. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.    

    

Through the words of these disciples of Heavenly Star Sect, he could already confirm that Ming Danjing and the others were in Heavenly Star Sect. However, he still didn't know whether Zhu Ziqiao had come or not.    

    

However, Lin Cheng wasn't in a hurry anymore. Since Ming Danjing was in Heavenly Star Sect, he still had a chance.    

    

After that, Lin Cheng left Unification Sect.    

    

One day later.    

    

When Lin Cheng woke up from his room in the inn, he suddenly realized... The news of the devil breaking the seal had become widely known. Even the pedestrians outside were in a hurry. There were people discussing in the lobby of the inn from time to time, and their voices were filled with nervousness and fear.    

    

Originally, they were only legendary evil devils, but now, they were suddenly going to appear in Dongzhou. This made many people nervous, especially those Adventurer and rogue cultivators who had no reliance on them.    

    

Lin Cheng didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly, as if everyone knew about it overnight. However, he soon realized that this was perhaps the news that the sect had deliberately released.    

    

After all, for the sect, breaking the seal of a great devil meant the arrival of a powerful enemy. However, it was a huge disaster for ordinary people. There were more than billions of people in Dongzhou. There were only ten sects. Even if all of them were powerful experts, they wouldn't be able to protect every single one of them.    

    

The reason why they spread the news at this time was probably to raise the vigilance of the people, or to think of a way to leave Dongzhou as soon as possible.    

    

However, how big of an effect would this have? Lin Cheng had some doubts. It was not so easy to pass through Prefecture Boundary. Even with his current Cultivation Level, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to pass through the Prefecture Boundary safely. Not to mention the trillions of ordinary people.    

    

As long as he didn't leave the Dongzhou, what difference would it make if the devil broke out of its seal?    

    

Furthermore, even the sect itself might not be able to take care of themselves, so how could they care about the trillions of people?    

    

As time passed, in just a few days, the entire city was filled with bustling crowds. Most of them were rogue cultivators, and there were also quite a number of Cultivating Warriors.    

    

The faces of these people faintly revealed a blank and nervous expression. Lin Cheng realized that this should be the panic and anxiety caused by the news that the Great Devil was going to break the seal.    

    

Obviously, these people had come to the vicinity of the Heavenly Star Sect to inquire about the accurate news. After all, what they had heard was just a rumor. The Great Devil breaking the seal was just too terrifying. This news was simply earth-shattering. To anyone in the Dongzhou... This news was definitely bad news.

Of course, it might not be the case for those people from those sects. After all, if the experts of the sects attacked at the same time... They would naturally be able to safely cross the Prefecture Boundary and head to another province... Avoiding the Great Devil.    

    

However, Lin Cheng had some doubts in his heart. Since the Great Devil of Dongzhou was about to break out of its seal, what about the other provinces?    

    

Zou Qingqi had once told him that when Emperor Yu refined the Nine Cauldrons, it was actually to suppress the Great Devil. If that was the case, then there should be a Great Devil suppressed under every Great Tripod. What would happen to these Great Devils?    

    

In Lin Cheng's opinion, if he was the Great Devil that was about to break out of the seal... Once he broke through the seal of the Great Tripod, the first thing he had to do was... It wasn't a massacre in the Homo Clan of Dongzhou, but a trip to another province. He had to rescue all the other devils.    

    

In this way, if the nine devils attacked at the same time, not only would it cause great trouble for the experts of the Homo Clan, it would also prevent them from being killed by the experts of the Homo Clan.    

    

Although the devil was about to break through the suppression of the Great Tripod, it would still be suppressed by the Great Tripod for a long period of time. No matter how terrifying the devil was, it would never be able to remain unharmed.    

    

Furthermore, the Great Tripod was refined by Emperor Yu. Since it was able to suppress the devil back then, it naturally indicated that the power of the Great Tripod was definitely greater than that of the devil.    

    

In such a long period of time, the Great Devil's strength had probably declined tremendously. Furthermore, the suppression of the Great Tripod would definitely not be so easy to break through. In order to break through the suppression of the Great Tripod, the Great Devil would have to pay a hefty price.    

    

Under such circumstances, as long as the experts of Dongzhou joined forces, they might have a chance to suppress the devil or even kill it.    

    

Lin Cheng believed that since the war in Ancient Times until now, the sects of Dongzhou must have obtained a lot of magic treasures left behind by the Most Powerful Person of Ancient Times. Those magic treasures might not be as good as Emperor Yu's Great Tripod, but they could also increase the combat strength of the sect's experts.    

    

Under such conditions, the Homo Clan in Dongzhou might be able to defeat the Great Devil.    

    

Furthermore, if they knew that the Great Devil of Dongzhou was about to break through its suppression, they believed that the sects of the other provinces wouldn't be indifferent to it. Ming Danjing coming to Dongzhou was the best proof.    

    

"This might be too one-sided."    

    

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. If the ten great sects of Dongzhou could get rid of their past grudges... If they joined forces, they might still be able to fight against the Great Devil. However, this was only the ideal situation. Lin Cheng knew that... It was virtually impossible for those sects to combine their strength.    

    

Judging from the actions of the Unification Sect and the Myriad Sword Sect, it was certain that they had already known about the instability of the Devil-suppressing Cliff. However, under such circumstances, the Myriad Sword Sect had actually schemed against the Longevity Sect and almost killed them.
