  Lin Jiufeng disappeared from the city walls.

  It was because he discovered that many people were running over, wanting to kneel down and worship him.

  Most importantly, the majority of them were women.

  And they all had fervent looks on their faces.

  They seemed to be even crazier than those people who chased after idols in his previous life.

  Lin Jiufeng could only choose to leave given the circumstances.

  But he didn’t return to the Cold Palace for he still had something to deal with tonight.

  The Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.

  It was because of this woman that the past Lin Jiufeng was sent to prison and died back then.

  Without her, the current Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t be able to occupy this body.

  He thought that he would never see her again in this life, but who would have thought that she would actually lead an army of 200,000 here and threaten Lin Tianyuan to let him go?

  What kind of plot development was this?

  Lin Jiufeng couldn’t understand it.

  It has been more than 30 years since they last interacted with each other.

  In the beginning, she didn’t think about repaying the debt of gratitude that she owed him.

  But after 30 years, she suddenly remembered it?

  Wasn’t the time period a little too far apart?

  Lin Jiufeng wasn’t impressed at her attempts to free him.

  He just found it absurd that this Holy Maiden was so unreliable in doing things.

  Lin Jiufeng came to look for her this time because he wanted to make things clear and end this ill-fated connection between her and the previous owner of his body.

  And so he paid her a visit.

  He even brought the white cat along with him too.

  …

  A 200,000 strong army camped at the place where the Great Yan Dynasty’s army was stationed.

  But the 30 Human Gods were all looking at the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  The thick demonic energy, the chilling sword intent…

  The grotto-heaven that blotted out the sky, and the calm and peace that followed…

  All of these stunned the 30 Human Gods.

  “They… they are all so powerful,” Daoist Liu Yun said bitterly.

  Just by looking at the battlefield with his own eyes, regardless of whether they were demons or that Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty, they were all very powerful.

  At the very least, they were stronger than them, the 30 Human Gods here.

  They all thought that by breaking through to the Human God Realm, they would be at the pinnacle of the martial path.

  But from the looks of it, they only reached the summit of a small hill.

  “Is that senior we met last time, the one who defeated those demons?” Monk Qingyun asked.

  He was a clever monk and it was easy for him to guess the answer to their questions.

  Daoist Liu Yun and the Daoist Haiyu fell silent.

  Back then, Lin Jiufeng had suppressed them with a flick of his finger.

  But now, it seemed that he had gone easy on them.

  The towering man mumbled, “How did he cultivate to become that powerful?”

  Yes…

  All of them wished to find the answer to this question of theirs.

  They were all humans, but why was Lin Jiufeng so outstanding than them?

  Lin Jiufeng was going to make things awkward for them if he was so excellent.

  It felt like they were incompetent in comparison to him.

  Boom!

  As they were grumbling in their hearts, a beam of sword energy directly shot over.

  The distance of a thousand miles disappeared in a flash.

  The 30 Human Gods instantly felt the arrival of death.

  All their hairs stood on end.

  The sensation truly was terrifying.

  They could do nothing other than to watch in horror.

  But this sword energy disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

  The 30 Human Gods had no idea where it went.

  The sword energy was naturally Lin Jiufeng himself.

  He was only giving the 30 Human Gods a show of strength.

  Lin Jiufeng saw the two Daoist priests, the young monk, and the towering man amidst this group of Human Gods.

  Lin Jiufeng finally understood.

  They were that same group who explored the Cold Palace last time under Miss Hong’s orders.

  Lin Jiufeng thought a lot about it back then.

  Who was Miss Hong?

  There was no answer all this time.

  He had never come into contact with the so-called Miss Hong before.

  But today the answer finally came.

  Miss Hong was the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.

  She was the woman released by ‘Lin Jiufeng’ back then.

  After several decades, this Holy Maiden suddenly took the initiative to find him. Lin Jiufeng had no idea what her motives were, as a result, he took the initiative to look for her this time.

  In the camp, Lin Jiufeng saw the Holy Maiden who was in the middle of checking her compass.

  No one knew that he was here.

  He prevented others from seeing him.

  The Holy Maiden examined the compass.

  The many rivers and seas of the world were depicted on this compass.

  It also depicted a lot of hidden places.

  The Holy Maiden was studying it carefully as she murmured…

  “This shouldn’t be the case. It doesn’t make sense for so many demons to come into being at the same time. This is only the beginning of the world’s spiritual energy recovery. How did these demons calculate the time so accurately?”

  Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and watched on calmly.

  He suddenly understood that this Holy Maiden belonged to the previous era just like the demons.

  This compass of hers depicted the locations of those who had sealed themselves deep underground.

  “Sigh, I wonder what’s the reason behind this… I can’t make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and I also can’t awaken my senior brothers and sisters. It’s difficult for me to deal with them on my own…”

  “My Divine Soul isn’t complete either, and I have to look for that dethroned Crown Prince of the Yuhua God Dynasty for the chance of recovery.” The Holy Maiden sighed continuously as she eventually bit her lips out of frustration.

  “You wanted to see me?”

  Lin Jiufeng’s clear voice suddenly sounded as he revealed himself.

  The Holy Maiden retreated a few steps in surprise as she raised her hand to defend herself.

  But when she saw Lin Jiufeng’s appearance, she was dumbfounded.

  “You… How did you… It’s been more than 30 years, but you’re still so young…”

  “You haven’t changed at all.” The Holy Maiden stuttered.

  Lin Jiufeng’s appearance didn’t change much.

  What changed the most was his temperament.

  But his temperament caused subtle changes in his appearance.

  However, the Holy Maiden still managed to recognize Lin Jiufeng at a single glance.

  “It’s the same for you. You didn’t change much,” Lin Jiufeng replied calmly.

  The current Holy Maiden was similar to the Holy Maiden in Lin Jiufeng’s memories.

  Of course, her temperament also underwent a huge change.

  Thirty years ago, the ‘Lin Jiufeng’ of this world had interacted with the Holy Maiden.

  At that time, ‘Lin Jiufeng’ was obsessed with her. He gave up his position as the Crown Prince and also his life in exchange for the safety of this Holy Maiden.

  The current Lin Jiufeng was no longer the ‘Lin Jiufeng’ of the past.

  He had no designs nor feelings for this Holy Maiden at all.

  “Your cultivation base…” The Holy Maiden sized up Lin Jiufeng.

  Suddenly, she covered her mouth in surprise as her pupils dilated.

  “You are the one who defeated the demons in the Imperial Capital?”

  The Holy Maiden asked in shock.

  “Yes. So, you’ve sent people to find me twice. What exactly do you want?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

  “This…”

  “Didn’t you save my life?”

  “I heard that you were imprisoned in the Cold Palace all this while and that is why I wanted to save you. I wanted to give you the Great Yan Dynasty’s throne. Back then, I am the reason why you lost the throne of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Now, I am giving you what you’ve lost.”

  “I hope that you can forgive me for taking so long…”

  The Holy Maiden took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.

  “You are being insincere. You are only thinking of repaying the debt of gratitude that you owe me for the sake of your Divine Soul’s completion.”

  Lin Jiufeng decisively pointed out the Holy Maiden’s lie.

  The Holy Maiden blinked in embarrassment.

  “Before you discovered the flaw in your divine soul, you probably couldn’t even remember me at all. That’s why you’ve made such a big fuss. You’re feeling guilty and you want to cover it up. All of these are nothing but for yourself, you don’t have to put me on a pedestal.”

  Lin Jiufeng pointed out the Holy Maiden’s thoughts.

  “I’m sorry.” The Holy Maiden apologized pitifully.

  “There’s no need for that. Bring your army and go back. Don’t alarm the common people.” Lin Jiufeng rejected coldly.

  “What should I do for you to forgive me? Give me a chance, my Divine Soul really has to be completed.” The Holy Maiden begged Lin Jiufeng.

  Lin Jiufeng thought about it rationally and asked, “Are you from the previous era?”

  The Holy Maiden nodded and said, “I was born at the end of the last era.”

  “All right…”

  “Then, prepare every book and every information that you have of the previous era that you know. They must be very detailed. Have Monk Qingyun deliver them to the doors of the Imperial Capital’s Cold Palace…”

  “After I’ve received them, I will definitely forgive your long abandonment of me in my heart.” Lin Jiufeng made a request.

  “No problem, I will have them prepared for you.”

  The Holy Maiden’s spirits were lifted as she smiled and agreed.

  Lin Jiufeng turned around coldly as he left directly.

  The Holy Maiden incident was caused by this world’s ‘Lin Jiufeng’.

  After ‘Lin Jiufeng’ died in prison, he was already gone.

  The Lin Jiufeng who transmigrated here had never interacted with this Holy Maiden before.

  This was why it would be good for both sides if he handled this matter properly.

  Lin Jiufeng got what he wanted.

  The Holy Maiden obtained his forgiveness.

  The common people were also spared from a full-blown war.

  Both Lin Jiufeng and the Holy Maiden were satisfied.

  They each took what they needed.

  Throughout the entire process, only the white cat was confused by the whole process.
