80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 173 – Emperor De Fell Sick

The members of the four great traditional Dao sects looked at the Northern Mountains Ancient City, then at the four statues that stood tall and upright.

They were silent.

The Four Symbols Purgatory Array were opposing them along with a mysterious and kindhearted commoner

Under Lin Jiufeng's gaze, the people from the Dao sects retreated.

No matter how unwilling they were…

They had to leave.

The members of the four great traditional Dao sects looked at each other.

They were too downcast to talk about anything.

As a result, they immediately took off and left.

The internal strife between the four great traditional Dao sects directly broke the relationship between them.

If they met again in the future, they would just be strangers to each other. It would already be considered polite to address the other party as “Fellow Daoist” if they met once more.

The people of the Northern Mountains Race cheered, although they didn't know what actually happened. But it was obvious that the Northern Mountains Race had forced the Dao sects away.

The Northern Mountains Race obviously won.

Thus, they cheered.

Cloud watched from afar with the white cat. She exclaimed. “Amazing! He forced Dao sects away so easily. He's too powerful!”

Meow!

The white cat called out lazily. “Your grandmother is his big sister. He's old, so he's naturally very powerful. After all, he has cultivated for so many years.”

Cloud looked at the white cat but noticed that the white cat was ignoring her.

The white cat quickly ran to Lin Jiufeng's side and called out sweetly.

Lin Jiufeng squatted down and gently picked up the white cat and asked, “Am I really powerful?”

“You're strong enough to attract someone's admiration!” The white cat lampooned.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I'm always hiding in the dark. How can I attract anyone's admiration?” Lin Jiufeng rebuked as he carried the white cat out of the array formation's range.

Cloud was waiting outside the divine temple. When she saw Lin Jiufeng, her eyes lit up. She quickly chattered away in excitement. “Senior is too powerful! You suppressed the four great traditional Dao sects on your own. That's simply incredible!”

Uh…

Lin Jiufeng looked at the little white cat.

The white cat blinked.

It turned out that the “admiration” he attracted was Cloud's admiration.

Lin Jiufeng suppressed the waves in his heart and calmly replied, “I only acted for the sake of the millions of people in the Northern Mountains Race. The array formation here can be maintained for 100 years. Unless someone destroys it, it won't be a problem for this array formation to continuously suppress the Northern Mountains Lord's relic.”

Cloud looked at Lin Jiufeng with a gentle smile. “Senior, you saved the Northern Mountains Race! There is nothing that the Northern Mountains Race can repay your kindness with.”

“But… But—I'm willing to do anything for you!”

The white cat's face darkened at these words.

She was actually being so blatant?

Lin Jiufeng was also shocked.

This girl was so proactive!

“It's a pity that you are a girl. If you were a man, we would've already become sworn brothers.”

“We would live and die together, never abandoning each other.” Lin Jiufeng was regretful.

Cloud: “???”

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in shock.

How could he even say such words?

The white cat's gaze immediately turned into an admiring one.

“All right! Protect this array formation properly and it will serve you well for 100 years…”

Lin Jiufeng added. “It's time for me to leave. Until we meet again!”

Cloud was still in a daze as she watched Lin Jiufeng leave.

It wasn't until Lin Jiufeng left that she realized that she still didn't know his name.

“Senior, what's your name? When can we meet again?” Cloud hurriedly shouted.

Lin Jiufeng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Then, he waved his hand and said with a smile. “When the spring flowers bloom next year, we shall meet again.”

Lin Jiufeng still didn't mention his name and origin.

He directly took his leave.

He never really wanted to be involved with the Northern Mountains Race. Of course, being involved with the Dao sects' internal strife was also an accident.

Lin Jiufeng was still focused on his goal.

Cloud watched in silence. She felt regretful in her heart.

Lin Jiufeng left the Northern Mountains Race and the Northern Mountains Ancient City. Facing the spring breeze and the warm afternoon sun, Lin Jiufeng drove his carriage and continued towards the Northern Regions.

The white cat laid beside him.

Thinking about Lin Jiufeng's words of rejection towards Cloud, she wanted to laugh.

She then realized that from now on, she would secretly be happy every time she remembered Cloud's expression after she was rejected by Lin Jiufeng.

“What's wrong with you?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat in doubt.

Why was she hiding at the side while trembling and smiling?

“I just remembered something funny.” The white cat thought for a while before answering.

Lin Jiufeng nodded. A hint of desire appeared on his face as he said, “Now that we have resolved all of our problems here. We can finally take a look at the scenery in the Northern Regions…”

“We can finally venture into the region whom scholars deem to be as beautiful as Jiangnan.”

He yearned for the scenery of different regions.

“Will we encounter any trouble in the Northern Regions?” The white cat asked.

“Let's cross that bridge when we get there.” Lin Jiufeng was confident.

It was just like the internal strife of the Dao sects that he encountered along the way.

He would deal with the problems as they appear.

“How far are we from the Northern Regions?”

The white cat stood up and looked into the distance.

Lin Jiufeng replied, “We're still quite far from the Northern Regions, but no worries. We can take this journey slow since the Yuhua God Dynasty is already in good shape and in good hands.”

“Emperor De is a very intelligent and wise man.”

“We don't have to worry about the dynasty with him at its helm.”

“Naturally, we can take our time traveling over to the Northern Regions.”

He wasn't in a hurry.

To be honest, he could easily reach his destination if he wanted to.

But then he would be unable to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Lin Jiufeng wanted to drive the carriage and look at the beautiful scenery—the sun, the moon, the mountains—and the rivers.

Look at how the mountains were red and the forests were dyed red.

Look at the verdant river and the struggle of the hundred barges.

Look at the eagles soaring toward the sky and the fishes sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Look at the myriad tribes competing for freedom.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng also wanted to find places where he could sign in at.

'After leaving the Cold Palace and the imperial capital, there are only a handful of places where I was able to sign in at…'

'In the past few days, other than signing in at Dalin Temple, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, and the Northern Mountains Ancient City, I didn't manage to sign in somewhere else.' Lin Jiufeng thought silently.

'This can only mean that the sign in opportunity will only appear if I was standing in a unique location, place, or if I was standing before a unique building or its entrances. Once I'm at the Northern Regions, I must explore some of its no man's lands.' Lin Jiufeng decided in his heart.

The difficulty of finding places to sign in at made the Land of Extreme Negative Energy more precious in Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

After all, when he was still in the Cold Palace, he could basically sign in every day.

The Cold Palace was a good place to sign in.

But ultimately, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace was better than it.

'When I have the chance, I should go back and take a look. I keep feeling that I haven't emptied out the sign in opportunities in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy just yet.' Lin Jiufeng frowned and pondered.

When he left the Cold Palace and the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, there were still many tombs underneath.

Lin Jiufeng signed in at one of them every day and received many valuable treasures and techniques.

But he didn't touch any of those tombs themselves.

He just left them there.

The next time he returned, he had to take a look at what was inside those tombs.

Lin Jiufeng made up his mind.

Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

In the huge Imperial Capital, other than the area around the Cold Palace, the other places were bustling and full of life.

The strength of the Yuhua God Dynasty could no longer be underestimated.

Even without Lin Jiufeng, it was still a force to be reckoned with.

After all, Princess Yulin, the son of the Millennium Sword God, Monk Fusan, and the war machine were within the confines of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Each of them were powerful powerhouses in this brand-new era.

Especially the war machine…

As time passed, the spiritual energy in the world became richer and stronger.

When it was at its previous peak, the war machine could supposedly even fight against immortals.

Emperor De has been worried sick about the internal strife between the four great traditional Dao sects these days. But after hearing that the Northern Mountains Race had successfully repelled the Dao sects' forces.

Emperor De immediately wanted to rope in the Northern Mountains Race under his banner.

He had just sent the messengers out to communicate with the Northern Mountains Race when Emperor De fell sick.

After falling sick, he couldn't get up anymore.
