Chapter 389: Xiao Nanfeng Frightens Yin

Although Chang Bing didn\'t want to accept Xiao Nanfeng\'s leadership, he and the rest of the Green Battalion had no choice but to rely on him.

Xiao Nanfeng stared at Yin in the sky. He sent a mental transmission to Black Lotus in his mindscape. "Senior, do you know what Yin is doing?"

Within his mindscape, Black Lotu replied, forming words with black light, "I\'m not from the same era as the ten Yanluo Lords, but I can make a few guesses as to the situation."

"Please enlighten me, Senior," Xiao Nanfeng requested.

"The hidden realm within the abyss has likely been sealed by the heavens, targeting the ten Yanluo Lords specifically. That\'s why it doesn\'t hinder ordinary demons from passing into and out of the abyss. If the ten Yanluo Lords want to leave, however, they\'ll need to discard all that they possess, including their cursed spiritual power, until their aura is faint as can be. Only then will they be able to bypass the seal.

"That Martial Aspect likely entered the abyss and was possessed by Yin within. Yin borrowed his body to fool the seal. Although he escaped from the abyss, his cursed spiritual power had all been left within it. The Yin you encountered wasn\'t only weak, but could even have sunk into oblivion at any moment. That was why it didn\'t press the attack against you."

"Oh?"

"But before Yin escaped from the abyss, it likely set up a plan on the other side so that the demons under its control would bring its cursed spiritual power out tonight. The reason it was absorbing these demons was to absorb its own cursed spiritual power. It\'ll be able to regenerate and grow stronger as a result," Black Lotus replied.

"So that\'s how it is."

"But the Rabbit Yanluo noticed Yin\'s plans and took advantage of them to cause Yin to be discovered by Heaven\'s Hand. As a result, the seal was weakened, allowing the Rabbit Yanluo\'s escape. It tried to take the opportunity to leave with its own cursed spiritual power, only to fall prey to Yin\'s own countermeasure."

"Is Yin going to become exceptionally dangerous now that it\'s absorbing all these demons?"

"No, he isn\'t like the Snake Yanluo from before. The Snake Yanluo might have been obliterated, but before that, she had managed to escape from the abyss with her cursed spiritual avatar. Despite her later weakness, she still controlled the paper figure, the paper snakes, and her Yanluo Court. Yin, on the other hand, ended up possessing a Martial Aspect\'s physical body. Its cursed spiritual avatar is likely still within the abyss, and it doesn\'t have a receptacle to store its cursed spiritual power. Thus, after it absorbed so much cursed spiritual power, it\'s going to be somewhat incapacitated for a while as it digests this energy and transforms it into a more amenable form for its body. You won\'t be in danger for the short term," the black lotus said.

"Why don\'t they bring their cursed spiritual avatars out?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.

"Cursed spiritual avatars are particularly difficult to regenerate. Other than the Snake Yanluo, who would want their cursed avatars to be destroyed? Even if it\'s eventually restored, it\'ll become extremely weak. The Snake Yanluo\'s state makes it clear."

"Thank you, Senior."

The black lotus quieted down.

Just then, Chang Bing urged from beside Xiao Nanfeng, "Xiao Nanfeng, if we don\'t retreat now, when would we do so? Yin\'s about to finish absorbing all the demons by the mouth of the abyss!"

"All generals, listen up," Xiao Nanfeng commanded.

"Present!" Ye Dafu and the others cried out.

"Gather up the Immortal relics at the mouth of the abyss."

"Understood!" Ye Dafu and the others flew over.

"Are you crazy? You\'re going to steal from Yin? You\'ll die if you head over there now!" Chang Bing roared.

Xiao Nanfeng ignored him. He too flew toward the mouth of the abyss, on guard against Yin as Ye Dafu and the others began to gather the Immortal relics.

"Hold it, Xiao Nanfeng! Those Immortal relics aren\'t for you!" Commander Lie Yang shouted from high above. Then, he shouted at his subordinates, "Go claim them now!"

"Understood!" Lie Yang\'s subordinates replied.

Xiao Nanfeng turned and challenged the Green Battalion. "What are all of you waiting for? Even if you don\'t dare touch these Immortal relics, can\'t you at least stop others from getting them either?"

The Green Battalion turned to Chang Bing for guidance.

"If Yin strikes, I\'Ill stop him. Hurry! Or do you intend to disobey my orders?"

Chang Bing gritted his teeth. "Attack!"

"Understood!" The forces of the Green Battalion rushed forward.

With a crash, the Green Battalion blocked Commander Lie Yang\'s subordinates.

Commander Lie Yang met a show of being frustrated as he watched Yin. He was guarding Yin at present, and couldn\'t join in the melee for the Immortal relics. He could only watch on as Ye Dafu and the others scooped them all up.

Just then, Yin finally swallowed the last demon. It floated in the air, eyes shut, tabulating its gains from this venture. Black smoke roiled around him.

"Xiao Nanfeng, you have to flee! Yin\'s on his way!" Chang Bing urged.

"It\'s no matter." Xiao Nanfeng shook his head before shouting, "Commander Lie Yang, as acting lord of Fengdu, I hereby inform you that your collusion with a cursed effigy of the abyss has caused significant injury and death to the cultivators of Fengdu. I absolve you of your duties as commander, with further penalties pending the city lord\'s return. You and your subordinates are not to take a single step into Fengdu."

"Xiao Nanfeng, how dare you!" Lie Yang thundered.

Chang Bing widened his mouth, sure that he was mistaken. Xiao Nanfeng might have been prosecuting Lie Yang, but was clearly provoking Yin. Did he have a death wish?

The other commanders, hiding far away, gaped. "Isn\'t Xiao Nanfeng worried about what Yin will do in retaliation?"

"As for you, Yin! You are not welcome in the Immortal city of Fengdu, either. From now on, I ask that you not take a single step into the city," Xiao Nanfeng declared.

Chang Bing and the others, including the commanders hiding far in the distance, gaped as if Xiao Nanfeng were mad. Yin had easily absorbed even Earth Immortal demons. How would Xiao Nanfeng be able to withstand his might?

Yin suddenly opened his eyes, which blazed with hellfire. He glared at Xiao Nanfeng down below.

"Do you know with whom you speak?" Yin demanded.

Xiao Nanfeng refused to back down. "Yin, from your conversation with the Rabbit Yanluo, it\'s clear that you knew the cultivator you possessed came from the Imperial Court. If I can find you, then so can its cultivators. Remaining in Fengdu would only lead to your demise, and I\'m sure you don\'t want your planning to go to waste."

"You dare threaten me?"

"I serve as acting lord of Fengdu, with the responsibility of protecting the city on my senior uncle\'s behalf. If you remain in Fengdu, you would be a threat, a ticking bomb. You must go. Call it a threat if you wish: I will take you on if I must."

Ye Dafu and the others swiftly gathered behind Xiao Nanfeng, fighting spirit roused.

The other cultivators remained open-mouthed in shock. What in the world was Xiao Nanfeng trying to accomplish?

Yin continued to glare at Xiao Nanfeng. After a moment\'s silence, he sneered. "Good, very good! Just you wait, Xiao Nanfeng. I\'ll come find you very quickly."

"Then you had better show up! I still need to avenge the cultivator you possessed with your head."

"Just you wait!" Yin flew into the distance.

"We leave now!" Lie Yang shouted.

Lie Yang and his forces likewise vanished over the horizon.

Xiao Nanfeng had predicted that all this would happen; the other cultivators seemed far more surprised.

"Why? Why would Yin flee like that?" Chang Bing muttered.

"Did Xiao Nanfeng really scare Yin off? That\'s impossible..." the commanders murmured.

Although the situation was incomprehensible to most, it was clear that Xiao Nanfeng really had, incredibly, held Yin off.

"Return to the city!" Xiao Nanfeng declared.

"Ah, yes!" the soldiers of the Green Battalion replied.

As everyone else watched in shock, the acting city lord, Xiao Nanfeng, returned to Fengdu.
