Chapter 1321 Entering the Demon Realm

“Hmm, moaning, I know that, but even a Divine Doctor has times when they can’t save someone. If you can save Brother Nangong and the others, I won’t peel off your skin,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

“Boss, you can’t be so harsh, I really have no choice, but I believe I can wait for you to bring back the Soul Mushroom. It all depends on whether you have the ability to bring it back from the Demon Realm.” Wei Qun rolled his eyes at Lin Feng, feeling this guy gave him no face at all.

“Alright, you all stop talking. Now that the Immortal-Demon War is over, you, as the commander, need to handle the aftermath. So many people were injured and killed, you have to comfort their families properly,” Fairy Lingxiao said at this moment.

“Lingxiao is right, as the commander, I don’t have extra time to stay here. Wei Qun, you stay here temporarily to take care of Brother Nangong and the others, and everyone else follow me to assess the casualties of this battle,” Lin Feng said.

Then the crowd left the tent. Lin Feng flew into the air and was shocked to see the soldiers’ bodies all over the ground. This war truly did not treat life as life. “Let people go and check the casualties of this battle. The severely injured should be helped back to the Immortal Realm, the lightly injured should go back on their own.”

After half a day, the result was tallied. In this Immortal-Demon War, more than two million soldiers died in total, among which more than one million seven hundred thousand Immortal Realm soldiers died, and the Immortal Beast army lost over nine hundred thousand. There were more than one million seriously injured. No matter which figure, it makes people feel disheartened.

Lin Feng saw his special team; although there were only thirty people, they had killed almost two hundred thousand soldiers of the Demon Realm, which was a terrifying number. However, thirteen of them died, and five were seriously injured in this battle.

“This time, although the Immortal Realm won, it was very tragic. Bury the fallen soldiers on the spot and record their names. If they have family, take care of them. If not, forget it. After the burial, the army will officially return,” Lin Feng loudly declared.

It took another day to bury the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. Every surviving soldier felt heavy-hearted; although the battle was won, many of the dead soldiers were their relatives, friends, and brothers in life and death. Seeing them buried here, one can imagine the inner pain.

The next day, the army returned to their respective cities, and the post-battle affairs were handed over to the city lords of the various cities. Lin Feng instructed the Golden Demon Vulture to take Xuanyuan Yueyan and Wei Qun back to the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace with Meng Ji and others, while he stayed with Fairy Lingxiao and the Jade Immortal Emperor.

For Lin Feng’s decision, Xuanyuan Yueyan and the Ice and Snow Fairy didn’t say much. She knew Lin Feng was going to the Demon Realm for Meng Ji and to find the Soul Mushroom; although the strongest in the Demon Realm was killed, it was still very dangerous. She didn’t want to become a burden. If she wasn’t injured, she could consider it, but now isn’t the time.

Watching the army return, Lin Feng felt quite heavy-hearted too. The Demon Realm’s entrance had not yet been sealed, and the general time for an entrance to remain open was around fifteen days. Now half of that time had passed, meaning Lin Feng and the others had only about seven days in the Demon Realm.

In these seven days, he must find Meng Ji’s soul and the Soul Mushroom. If this time is exceeded, he will need to break through the barrier, which is extremely difficult, and he was very aware of this.

Early the next day, Lin Feng, along with the Jade Immortal Emperor and Fairy Lingxiao, entered the Demon Realm. Upon entering, the two women felt quite uncomfortable, primarily because there was no Immortal Spirit Qi here, and the Demonic Qi had a repelling effect on their bodies.

“Are you alright? If you’re not comfortable, should you stay here? You must have Demonic Qi on you to move around the Demon Realm. I believe Jade can manage this since she can gather Nether Energy on her body, but I don’t know if you can, Lingxiao,” Lin Feng asked.

“No problem, we’re sure to have some discomfort entering the Demon Realm. Didn’t the Demon Realm army rest for a day or two after arriving in the Immortal Realm? They were adapting to the Immortal Spirit Qi there. Both Jade and I can adapt quickly, don’t worry about us!” Fairy Lingxiao replied.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s continue on our way. This Demon Realm is completely unfamiliar territory, no clue where the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is. Let’s also investigate clues about the Soul Mushroom, and the best place might be within the city,” Lin Feng said.

The three then flew swiftly in the air, not using Instant Teleportation to allow the two to adapt to the environment. Lin Feng used the Star Absorption Technique to cover himself with Demonic Qi, so anyone unaware of his identity would never guess he was from the Immortal Realm.

His Demonic Qi was denser than many in the Demon Realm, indicating a strong identity within the Demon Realm, making things much easier to accomplish. The two women envied Lin Feng for possessing such skills.

In truth, Lin Feng didn’t need to absorb this Demonic Qi; he only needed to use the Dark Transformation to achieve this, covering himself completely with Dark Element without anyone noticing. However, he didn’t think of this at the moment.

After half a day’s flight, the three eventually saw a massive city. In this time, Fairy Lingxiao and the Jade Immortal Emperor had fully adapted to the Demon Realm’s environment. Jade already showed significant Demonic Qi, concealing any flaws.

However, Fairy Lingxiao couldn’t gather Demonic Qi; whenever she tried to absorb it, her Immortal Spirit Power would instinctively disperse it. She tried many times, always with the same result, leaving her quite speechless.

“Lingxiao, this Demonic Qi is also a powerful energy. You need to feel, to communicate with it, understand its properties, and use it as energy. Since you have no Demonic Qi, you can’t enter the city. I suggest you wait outside. Do as I suggest, and I believe you’ll gather it quickly. When you do, come find us, and I’ll leave a trace of Divine Sense on you, so I’ll know once you’ve gathered Demonic Qi,” Lin Feng said.

“I understand, you two go on ahead, but be cautious. The Demon Realm isn’t the Immortal Realm; don’t alert the enemy!” Fairy Lingxiao advised.

Soon, Lin Feng and the Jade Immortal Emperor arrived at the city gates. Entering required Magic Stones, but neither of them had any. “Jade, stay here, I’ll go get some Magic Stones.”

After speaking, Lin Feng quickly used Light Transformation to conceal himself before entering the city, found a secluded spot, killed two Demon Realm individuals, and obtained some Magic Stones, then used Celestial Fire to dispose of the bodies.

The Magic Stones in the Demon Realm, like the Immortal Stones in the Immortal Realm and the Nether Stones in the Netherworld, could be used for cultivation or as currency. Lin Feng soon appeared before the Jade Immortal Emperor again, paid with Magic Stones, and entered this unfamiliar city…
