Chapter 896: Qiong Qi, Flame Emperor Yan Di?

The old man's movements were very slow but necessary for Lin Pheng to study them properly. After a long time, he stopped and looked at Lin Pheng.

"Lin Pheng, study properly."

"Kacha!" The portal dispersed and disappeared. The seven snow eagles recalled their godly awareness and sat down cross-legged. They needed to recover after that.

Lin Pheng closed his eyes and studied what the old man transmitted him. He had to perfectly understand the concepts.

Lin Pheng seemed to disappear as he entered a deep meditative state. That's what he had always done and that's why he has made so much progress. He didn't study particularly fast but he was very focused so he learn faster.

After a long time, Lin Pheng opened his eyes. The seven snow eagles were, as before, sitting cross-legged and recovering. Opening the communication portal must have been exhausting.

Lin Pheng thought back about the portal. He didn't need to say much, his teacher hadn't hesitated and immediately called the leader of Tian Chi, Mister Tian Ji, to help him.

Besides, Mister Tian Ji didn't hesitate either. The old man helped him without second guessing Lin Pheng's intentions.

Lin Pheng was always impressed with Tian Chi. Even though Tian Shu wasn't his favorite, every group has some outliers.

Lin Pheng stayed seated for a long time and waited for the seven snow eagles to recover before leaving. In the imperial palace, Lin Hai and Yue Meng He were sitting in a pavilion, calmly talking about something.

The fact that Lin Pheng was so strong and powerful made his parents delighted. It seemed that if his enemies weren't at least Zun cultivators, nobody could defeat him. However, they hoped that Lin Pheng wouldn't always have to fight that way. After all, the demon sword was extremely dangerous. Even Lin Hai, who was a cultivator of the Tian Qi layer, was oppressed by the power of the demon sword. So there was no need to talk about Lin Pheng who was using it.

Lin Pheng and his father had broken through to the same Tian Qi layer, the first one. Lin Hai knew that he still wasn't strong enough. He didn't want Lin Pheng to use the demon sword all the time.

Far away from them, Qiong Qi was on the ground with his eyes were closed. It seemed like it was resting.

Ever since its last battle, it was calm. It lied down for days and nights, motionless. It was abnormal. Sometimes, they went to see him, however, Qiong Qi always remained silent and motionless.

They didn't know how to react concerning Qiong Qi's state.

"Mom, dad." at that moment, Lin Pheng appeared.

Lin Hai and Yue Meng He smiled at their son.

"Lin Pheng, what are you doing here?"

"We have to do something." said Lin Pheng while smiling. "Mom, dad, come with me."

Lin Hai and Yue Meng He glanced at each other. Lin Pheng was so mysterious. Did he have a secret mission for them?

They were a curious so they followed Lin Pheng to a secret room. Lin Pheng said, "Mom, dad, do you still remember the hole in the Lovesickness Forest? The one which leads to another world?"

"Of course we remember, I used to send people to train there." replied Yue Meng He.

"The fire monster that came out a few days ago came out from that parallel world. The fire wolf king and its group of monsters came from there." said Lin Pheng. Yue Meng He and Lin Hai were surprised.

"The hole in the Lovesickness Forest is just one portal. There is another one and they used that one to get out." said Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng took out a picture scroll out that was sealed by a demon seal stone.

"That world is the world of the picture scroll. It's a parallel world." said Lin Pheng while pointing at the picture scroll. Yue Meng He and Lin Hai were surprised again. That picture scroll was a parallel world?

"That's just a picture scroll, how could it be connected to the Lovesickness Forest?" asked Yue Meng He.

"I don't understand everything clearly either. Just trust me. Keep that picture scroll hidden carefully and seal the other exit. If the situation ever worsens for the palace, then you can open the seal and bring Xin Ye and the others into the picture scroll."

Lin Pheng didn't explain the situation very clearly. The evil spirit had explained to Lin Pheng that the world was a battlefield for two very powerful monarchs. After the emperor killed the Flame Emperor Yan Di, that parallel world had turned into a picture scroll. In the past, perhaps the Lovesickness Forest belonged to that world but Lin Pheng didn't know for sure at that moment. He could only guess some of the mysteries of this world.

"Alright, but if we go in, what about you?" asked Yue Meng He.

"Don't worry. It's not that easy to defeat me. Besides, I am just being careful. I also hope that we won't need to use the picture scroll." said Lin Pheng while smiling, "Dad, you're the stronger one, keep the picture scroll carefully."

Lin Hai nodded and put the picture scroll and a piece of demon seal stone in his ring. Lin Pheng now felt reassured.

"Mom, dad, don't tell anyone about that picture scroll, unless it turns out to be necessary because of a dangerous situation." said Lin Pheng. If other people knew about the picture scroll, it would attract all sorts of people.

They left the secret room. Lin Pheng glanced around and saw Qiong Qi.

Lin Pheng went to him but it was almost as if Qiong Qi didn't know that Lin Pheng was there. Its eyes were closed and it was lying down.

"Get up." said Lin Pheng coldly.

Qiong Qi heard Lin Pheng and opened its eyes, but it looked uninterested.

"Come with me." said Lin Pheng coldly and started leaving.

However, Qiong Qi didn't move.

Lin Pheng stopped and turned around. He looked angry, "I told you to come with me, didn't you hear me?"

Qiong Qi's gigantic eyes twinkled and it slowly stood up.

Lin Pheng brought Qiong Qi to a wonderful and resplendent palace.

They arrived in a beautiful room with marvelous decorations. Lin Pheng looked at Qiong Qi, he looked cold and surprised.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" asked Lin Pheng coldly. Qiong Qi looked at Lin Pheng and shook its head.

"In the past, Qiong Qi was always with me. Its soul and mine could fuse together, I controlled it entirely." said Lin Pheng slowly. This for some reason surprised Qiong Qi.

Lin Pheng ignored its reaction and continued talking, "However, not long ago, we stopped being so close. What I am saying is that Qiong Qi's soul was damaged."

Qiong Qi was staring at Lin Pheng, its eyes almost looked human.

Lin Pheng said coldly, "Yan Di surprisingly took a human form to fool me!"
