Chapter 2493: The New Situation of the Continent of the Nine Clouds

Edited by RED

Icefire had appeared in the world, defeated Lin Feng, and all the Shrines had acknowledged allegiance to him. It shook the entire continent.

Lin Feng and his allies had lost the decisive battle, Icefire had won. The Fire Shrine and Ice and Snow Shrine Leaders had fused together after studying yin and yang.

The very next day, Icefire proclaimed himself king of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Even the Supreme Animal World was afraid.

The Roc Clan and the Dragon Clan had also participated in the decisive battle. If Lin Feng hadn’t fought against Icefire, many people wouldn’t have been able to escape, and would have died.

However, Icefire still terrified most people in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The news that the Fortune Shrine had disappeared spread everywhere in the continent. They were now in hiding. Everybody understood that they had no choice. With the insane supreme cultivator Icefire in the world, people couldn’t do anything, since the Fortune Shrine wasn’t willing to submit.

On the fifth day, the Earth Shrine and the Celestial Sound Shrine Leaders went to the Fire Shrine to acknowledge allegiance to Icefire.

On the sixth day, the news that Icefire had taken back control of the Fire Shrine spread in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He wanted to make the Fire Shrine the strongest Shrine in the world.

On the seventh day, the influential groups of the Continent of the Nine Clouds chased the World Clan’s members and captured a peerless Saint, joining hands and killing him. However, everybody knew that Icefire wanted to kill Lin Feng above all else, and he gave everybody the order to capture people who were related to Lin Feng to force him out. He was ready to do anything, regardless of the price.

At the same time, people were fighting everywhere in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The Shrines had ceased to exist except in name, but their members continued fighting. The influential groups also started fighting to conquer territories and become stronger.

Icefire didn’t care about such minor events, he just wanted to be the strongest cultivator in the world. Nobody dared attack his people. People didn’t know about the battles in the ancient past, but they knew about the battle which had propelled Icefire to the rank of strongest cultivator in the Continent of the Nine Clouds: the King of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

Icefire was wildly ambitious. He also wanted the Buddha Shrine, the Demon Shrine, and the Life Shrine to submit and pay allegiance to him. They couldn’t go against his will. He created the Supreme Shrine and built a Supreme Shrine palace. He organized a ceremony on a flight of stairs with a thousand steps. He stood at the very top and looked down at the crowd and the Shrine Leaders among them.

“I am not the King of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. That’s the destiny of the continent! I will become a real god!” shouted Icefire grandly. He was in a good mood.

People shouted back, “Congratulations, supreme cultivator Icefire!”

“No need to be polite,” said Icefire, waving his hands and smiling. He frowned suddenly and shouted furiously, “Why isn’t the Demon Shrine Leader here?”

People frowned. The Demon Shrine Leader wasn’t there?

Icefire was at the apex of his power, nobody could resist him!

Someone slowly flew up in the air. He was wearing a demon robe. He looked at Icefire and said slowly, “Today, the Demon Shrine Leader officially paid respects to his master! At the same time, he invites everybody to come and congratulate him! Everybody is here, so everybody can go! Supreme Cultivator Icefire, you can also go if you wish!”

“Insolent!” shouted someone furiously. However, that person’s expression didn’t change.

Icefire frowned. “I think the Demon Shrine Leader’s behavior is strange. Whom could he acknowledge allegiance to, apart from me? I’m curious to see who can still compete with me in the Continent of the Nine Clouds!”

“Bring those people here first,” said Icefire coldly. Two people were brought over. Those people were from the Divine Wrath Shrine, one of them was Zi Zhu.

“Today, I’ll kill you first, and then I’ll go to the Demon Shrine personally,” said Icefire glancing at Zi Zhu.

Zi Zhu turned to Icefire, looking fearless. He said icily, “Will you dare kill me? Do you know who my teacher is?”

“Eh?” When the crowd heard Zi Zhu, their faces changed, looking amused. Zi Zhu was a member of the Divine Wrath Shrine, formerly part of the Three Great Alliances, and used to be the leader of the Black Bamboo Alliance. He had a teacher? How strong was his teacher?

“Who?” asked Icefire, unimpressed.

“Master Icefire, you really think you’re the king of the Continent of the Nine Clouds? You’re really funny,” said Zi Zhu, equally unmoved. “These years, all the Shrines ruled over the Continent of the Nine Clouds, but have you all forgotten about Sealed Imprint Mountain in the Lost Country?”

“Feng Mo the supreme cultivator!” the crowd murmured. Sealed Imprint Mountain had incredibly strong cultivators in the ancient past Few people knew how strong that guy really was.

“I’m Feng Mo’s disciple, Zi Zhu! If we needed a king of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, my teacher would have come out already, you are far from being able to compete with him! The only thing is that he didn’t really care!

“Now, however, it is imminent! My teacher made me come out because a god may have to be chosen. He might come out too. You keep chasing Lin Feng, you want to kill the Forbidden Body, but did you know Teacher Feng Mo supports Lin Feng? He helped him become stronger! When he becomes strong enough, there will be the real decisive battle between them! You think you’re qualified to compete with my teacher?” Zi Zhu challenged him calmly.

The crowd shivered. How strong was Feng Mo?

“I practiced the yin and yang godly transformation skill, how could your teacher compete with me?” Icefire rebuked him proudly.

“My teacher can seal gods and demons! He controls the strength of the ten thousand things of creation. Nobody knows how many bodies my teacher has in the world! Do you really think all the strongest cultivators in the Continent of the Nine Clouds were the peerless cultivators who participated? If I hadn’t come out, who would have known about me?” Zi Zhu huffed. “Today, if I die, my teacher will destroy the Supreme Shrine!”

Icefire remained silent for a few seconds before answering. “I won’t kill you, then. Since your teacher intends to show up in the world again, I’ll wait for him. Send him back!”

Zi Zhu stayed alive, astonishing everyone. Nobody had thought that so many incredible things would happen. Lin Feng had risen, Icefire had appeared, the Demon Shrine Leader had a new teacher, Feng Mo was going to come to the Continent of the Nine Clouds... the Forbidden Body had really attracted some incredible things. Icefire had become a conqueror too early. Nothing was decided!

Icefire gazed into the distance. His eyes glittered, and he said detachedly, “I’m going to the Demon Shrine!”

He flew away and disappeared, faster than the crowd could see. The crowd didn’t leave with him, but they all still wondered... what was going to happen in the Demon Shrine?

——

The crowd waited for a long time. After several days, a lone figure descended from the sky: Icefire. He looked grim and detached as he smiled coldly. “Seems like I won’t be lonely on the path to becoming a god!”

He rolled up his sleeves and promptly left again.

Everyone understood that the Demon Shrine Leader’s teacher was someone who could compete with Icefire.

——

After seven days, the Demon Shrine organized a banquet and invited everybody. People didn’t dare offend him, so they off they went. They all felt pressured, especially the Shrine Leaders. Despite their positions, they now were under pressure and felt powerless. They could just manage to get by swallowing insults and humiliations. All this was one of the reasons why they didn’t want the Forbidden Person to live!

The Forbidden Person hadn’t become powerful enough yet, but Icefire and the Demon Shrine Leader were already competing!

——

One month later, Feng Mo from the Sealed Imprint Mountain of the Lost Country landed in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He went straight to the Supreme Shrine and took Zi Zhu away. The Continent of the Nine Clouds was shaken once again. Now there were three potential kings in the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

At the same time, everybody was looking for Lin Feng, especially Icefire. He had to kill Lin Feng, the Forbidden Person!

The Demon Shrine was also looking for Lin Feng.

Feng Mo also sent people to look for Lin Feng!

However, Lin Feng had completely disappeared...

——

There were two people standing at the top of a mountain. One of them asked, “Haven’t you found him yet?”

“I can’t find him, he’s completely disappeared.”

“Can you contact him using the jade talisman?”

“It’s useless, no reply.”

“His friends are optimistic.” the one who had just spoken continued moving.

Icefire was at the top of a flight of stairs as he asked coldly. “Haven’t you found him or his traces?”

“Supreme Cultivator, there is nothing. Lin Feng is good at disguising himself. He can easily pretend he’s someone else.”

“Take your time. When we fought, I corroded his body with yin and yang Qi, he probably can’t recover easily. However, I won’t feel assured until he dies,” replied Icefire calmly. The man bowed and withdrew, walking backward.

——

After a short time, the Life Shrine, which didn’t get involved in worldly affairs, was destroyed because they had refused to submit. Their Leader had been killed. Actually, many people felt extremely sad at this happening, to the extent that some people cried over their destruction.

——

Time passed. Another century flowed by. At that moment, in a wild area of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, a figure was suddenly surrounded by reincarnation strength and absorbed quickly.

A handsome man appeared. It was Hou Qing Lin, now a peerless Saint. People kept chasing him, one of which had just died. Icefire was pursuing him and all the former members of the Fortune Shrine.

“Eh?” At that moment, Hou Qing Lin looked surprised. He took out a jade talisman and his eyes twinkled. He flew up in the air.
