A hundred years passed quietly.
For mortals, a hundred years was almost equal to a lifetime, but for the powerful cultivators, it was just a fleeting moment.
…
(Inside the library of the Heavenly Palace)
Lin Yan had his hair tied up and was dressed in black robes. His face remained cold as usual.
Right now, he was reading a book in his hand intently.
"Lin Yan, I knew you were here."
Suddenly, a lovely voice broke the silence of the place.
Xiao Mei walked in with a smile and carried a small basket with several large spirit peaches in her hands.
"These are the spirit peaches I just picked up. Try them quickly." Xiao Mei smiled and handed the peaches to him.
Lin Yan put down the book in his hand and nodded slightly at Xiao Mei, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
Truly, it was a somewhat rusty way to address her.
Xiao Mei frowned slightly, dissatisfied, "How many times have I told you to call me by my name, or else call me by m-my n-nickname Taozi. In the entire Heavenly Palace, only Father has called me that."
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and ignored Xiao Mei.
Once again, he held up the book in his hand and continued to read.
Well, it seemed like Xiao Mei had already gotten used to his indifferent attitude.
She sat down beside Lin Yan and stared at him.
Looking at Lin Yan's almost perfect face, her entire face turned a deep shade of red, and her heart fluttered.
A kind of emotion called admiration flashed in her eyes.
Although the cold and handsome man in front of her had been in the Heavenly Palace for only a hundred years, he had already earned the title of the First War God of the Heavenly Palace in just three battles.
Lin Yan was a nearly invincible figure.
The Princess of the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Mei, had deeply imprinted him into her heart so that she often dreamed of him in her dreams.
Whenever there was time, Xiao Mei would run over and accompany Lin Yan to read the book together.
…
(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
"Only reading books for a hundred years? I'm afraid that the patience of the Heavenly Emperor is unmatched by anyone else."
"No wonder the future Heavenly Emperor is insightful, almost omniscient. It turns out that he has worked hard behind the scenes."
"I couldn't have imagined myself reading books for a hundred years."
Looking at Lin Yan staying inside the library of the Heavenly Palace for a hundred years, many people heaved a sigh.
Even if there were cultivators, no one was patient reading the books for a hundred years.
…
Lin Feng became furious, looking at Xiao Mei, who had little stars in her eyes in the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
"Sister Xiao Mei has never looked at me with those eyes."
At this moment, he sensed that Xiao Mei and Xiao Yanran, who hugged each other, seemed sadder than before when they were crying.
This made Lin Feng's mood even worse.
Turning his head, he looked at the Demon Queen, and his expression improved slightly. He said with a smile, "My Queen, the Heavenly Emperor has long forgotten Xiao Bai completely."
It was as if the Demon Queen hadn't heard what Lin Feng said; she continued to stare at the inside of the Linglong Treasure Mirror, seemingly lost in her thoughts.
She had gradually remembered that she and Lin Yan, the Great Demon Slaughter, would rendezvous in a short while.
But the scene of the rendezvous made the body of the Demon Queen couldn't help but tremble, "No, it's impossible he recognized me at that time."
…
(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
The scene had changed again.
Lin Yan always stayed in the Heavenly Palace and rarely went out. However, he removed his Battle Armor, changed into ordinary clothes, and left the Heavenly Palace on this day.
Within a span of one hundred years, the world changed a lot.
The villages that Lin Yan and Xiao Yanran lived in back then had all disappeared. Instead, there was now a city in that place.
Moreover, many people didn't know there was a small grave in the mountain forest northwest of this city.
This mountain forest was cut out directly by Lin Yan using secret techniques and was tantamount to becoming a separate miniature world.
So except for the Sage and above, no one could find this place.
Lin Yan's figure appeared within this mountain forest and arrived in front of the small grave.
Although a hundred years had passed, Lin Yan's handwritten words "Xiao Bai's Grave" were still the same as before.
"Xiao Bai, I went to the Xuantian Sect the other day and beat the Sage that chased me to death..."
"Unfortunately, I still haven't found any information about the Seven Star Sect, so you must wait some more days…."
In front of the small grave, Lin Yan was like chatting with a friend and telling what he had done recently.
…
When he was staying there, talking to Xiao Bai, several figures slowly showed up in the forest.
"Ni Huang, are you sure this is the right place?"
"Right. Every once in a while, The Heavenly Palace's Great Demon Slaughter will come here. I've been investigating for a long time."
"The Heavenly Palace's Great Demon Slaughter, bah, the guy uses our demon race as a stepping stone. Today he must be beheaded."
"Everyone should be careful. The Great Demon Slaughter has appeared for a short time but already earned himself the title of a War God, so he isn't easy to mess with."
Gradually, the figures of several people became clear.
It could be seen that the ones who appeared at this moment were a few Demon Saints.
And among these Demon Saints, the extremely beautiful-faced, aloof Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, was extremely conspicuous.
…
"The Demon Queen is hunting the Heavenly Emperor?"
This scene dumbfounded the crowd in front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
Many people even stared at the Demon Queen with strange expressions.
However, looking at the appearance of the Demon Queen staring deadly at the Linglong Treasure Mirror, an inexplicable worry rose in their hearts.
They couldn't afford to talk nonsense.
Things could be wrong in case the Demon Queen got stimulated.
…
(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, with several demon saints, immediately after appeared there, and their figures flickered and lurked around.
They were ready to strike thunderous blows at Lin Yan as soon as Lin Yan appeared.
Half a day passed quickly, and Lin Yan walked out from within that separate miniature space from a crake of the space.
When he walked out, these Saints of the Demon Race lurking around brazenly struck out.
"The Great Demon Slaughter, Die for me."
Among the several Demon Saints, the one with the highest cultivation level was a Sage with Bull Head.
As he roared, a circle of power fluctuations emerged from his body, seemed to harness the powers of space, and blatantly slammed towards Lin Yan.
The bullhead Saint was indeed quite strong.
Such a collision, enough to the same class of opponents, directly crushed to death.
Several other Demon Saints were delighted to watch this scene with their eyes.
They were expecting the Bull Horn Sage's strike to work. However, as the Bull Horn Sage hit Lin Yan, a scene that stunned everyone appeared.
Lin Yan didn't change his expression and was coldly standing in place, allowing this Bull Horned Saint to land a hit on his body ruthlessly.
The moment both sides collided, the Bull Horn Sage felt like he had hit an unshakable mountain, and the raging rebound force almost instantly knocked him dumbfounded.
And Lin Yan's body didn't even sway a bit.
"Weak."
Out of Lin Yan's mouth, he coldly uttered a word.
With a whirl, he casually grabbed the Bull Horn Sage's horn and threw it upwards.
The Bull Horn Sage's body immediately turned into a black shadow like a stone thrown out and disappeared into the sky.
"He…is too strong."
The other Demon Saints in the surroundings were dumbfounded as they watched.
Although they knew before that Lin Yan wasn't easy to mess with, but yet, they didn't expect Lin Yan wouldn't be messed with to this extent.
Even the strongest Bull Horn Sage seemed like a baby, being played by him.
"Ni Huang. Go, fight with him."
A Demon Sage suddenly pushed Ni Huang, the Demon Queen, and he hastily tore open the space, turned around, and tried to flee.
When the other Demon Saints saw this, they fled, no longer having the same brutality as before.
Lin Yan initially wanted to stop these Demon Saints, but when he saw the lady they had been pushed out as a shield, his body shook, and a skeptical look appeared.
"Xiao Bai?"
The words escaped from Lin Yan as he stared at the woman before him.
And Ni Huang, who hadn't yet become the Demon Queen, was scared and afraid of him.
Those companions had abandoned her so quickly made her greatly sad.
But what frightened her even more was the man before she was a nearly invincible man.
"Phoenix Flame."
Ni Huang didn't dare to be careless at all. Flames erupted from her body and shot the Phoneix flames at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan let these phoenix flames burn onto his body. Just standing in the burning flames, a happy expression appeared on Lin Yan's face, and he spoke to Ne Huang, "You… are good-looking."
…
(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
Boom!
A crimson flame suddenly emerged from the Demon Queen.
"He recognized me the first moment he saw me…!"
A painful look surfaced on the face of the Demon Queen.
"You're so good-looking."
Back then, when Xiao Bai first saw Lin Yan, it was these words that she said.
Now Lin Yan saw Xiao Bai again; he said the exact words.
In the underworld, it was like a reincarnation.
But!
Xiao Bai from back then had now become the current Ni Huang.
More than that, she had forgotten everything.
Big Stone still remembered Xiao Bai in his heart, and, at first sight, he recognized her.
"Why did I forget!"
"We agreed that when we reunite, no one should forget …."
"But as a result, you remember me, but I forgot you…."
The stabbing pain from the heart made the Demon Queen even a little breathless.
…
Lin Yan's smile grew wider and wider in the phoenix flame, and he even laughed loudly: "I see, I see, Xiao Bai… is the phoenix. No wonder she appeared near the phoenix flame in the first place."
Standing opposite Lin Yan, the Demon Queen, Ni Huang, was a bit scared.
She didn't know at all why the man was suddenly laughing out of nowhere like this.
But seeing Lin Yan lose his concentration, the Demon Queen, Ni Huang, quickly tore open the space next to her and directly fled away.
