Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Chapter 134: Invincible Loneliness [Fourth Update]

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Child Granny of Tianshan had thirty-six cave lords and seventy-two island lords under her command. Due to long-term oppression by the Heavenly Child Granny, when the Granny's Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Technique dissipated and she turned into a little girl, they once united to rebel against the Lingjiu Palace.

Later, due to the appearance of Xu Zhu, all their efforts were in vain, and in the end they still submitted to the foot of Tianshan.

Years later, Lingjiu Palace eventually fell into ruin, but the 108 heroes still existed. When Lin Yaoxie launched the war between good and evil, the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands were badly beaten by the Thirteen Riders of Black Long and were among the first to join the alliance.

After the Demon Kingdom ceded power to the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan rulers feared that the 108 Demons would become a destabilizing factor, so they prayed to the evil spirit Lin to persuade them to withdraw.

Lin Yaoxie also felt it was necessary and agreed to Ali Buge's request.

In the following hundred years, because Lin Yaoxie went into seclusion, the two immortals and the thirteen black long riders also went into seclusion. The 108 forces also changed leaders several times and had long forgotten the name of the Demon Emperor.

On that very day, the leaders of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands simultaneously received a plaque crafted from black gold. The plaque was carved with a lifelike image of a winged wolf, its eyes adorned with silver paint. On the back of the black gold plaque, the character for "demon" was written in a flowing, flamboyant style.

These gold medals were brought by a wolf with lifeless eyes, yet terrifying in their presence, and placed in front of the main gates of each cave and island lord. No other notes were left behind.

Ninety years is enough time to wear down the memories of two generations. Moreover, the ancient tomb was too discreet, so even though the hints on the black gold plaque were quite obvious, no one understood what it meant.

Out of caution, the cave lords and island lords spontaneously gathered together to discuss the matter.

Since the decline of Lingjiu Palace, the island lords and cave masters have held a large-scale gathering at the former site of Lingjiu Palace every five years.

Although it's not time yet, the matter of the Black Gold Magic Card is too strange, so everyone decided to bring forward the gathering time.

Inside the main hall of Lingjiu Palace stood thirteen warriors in black armor and helmets, their faces obscured. Each of them carried two bronze hammers, and beside them lay lifeless corpse wolves.

"Master, judging from the noise, it's people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands coming up the mountain," Hei Long stepped forward and said to Lin Yaoxie.

Over these ninety years, Hei Long's progress in Long Elephant Kung Fu was not as rapid as Lu Wushuang's, who had cultivated with Lin Yaoxie. However, due to his talent and his daily practice with the other twelve guards, he had already reached the Great Perfection level of Thirteen Long Elephants five years ago.

Even the remaining twelve guards had all reached the tenth level of the Long Elephant Technique.

With Hei Long's current hearing ability, hearing the sounds of hundreds of people climbing a mountain path several miles away is naturally a piece of cake.

Lin Yaoxie shifted his position in the chair, propped his chin on his fist, and said with a smile, "Hehe, ninety years ago, you guys gave these guys a good beating. Today, let's do the same and give them another beating."

Black Long chuckled silently inside his helmet, and habitually raised his forehead slightly: "Master, is it really just a simple beating? We brothers are not the same as we were ninety years ago. After so many years without lifting a finger, I'm afraid these little guys can't even withstand a flick of our fingers."

“That makes sense.” Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, “So what should we do? Well, you’ve been holding back for years. Now that we’re coming out of seclusion, let’s have some fun. But you’d better go easy on us. I’m counting on these guys to overthrow the super empire that the two brothers, Meng Ge and his brother, have built together.”

"Yes, Master, we know how to be careful. How about this, brothers, each of you can only kill five cave lords or island lords. What is thirteen times five? Master—" Black Long turned to Lin Yaoxie and asked, his tone becoming much more playful.

Since he had made it clear to Lin Yaoxie that his relationship with Lu Wushuang was only that of brother and sister, Hei Long suddenly became more open-minded and took a more relaxed view of everything.

When a person is free from desires and wants, their demeanor naturally becomes relaxed. Lin Yaoxie also valued him highly, so although Hei Long called him "master" repeatedly, their tacit understanding had long surpassed that of a master and servant.

Lin Yaoxie was quite pleased with Hei Long's transformation: "That's sixty-five people. Hei Long, did your math skills come from the head guard?"

Black Long scratched his head with a large hammer, chuckling to cover it up: "Right, sixty-five men. We can only kill sixty-five of the leaders. As for the other soldiers, just mow them down."

"Alright, Brother Long, just you wait and see!" the twelve men said in unison, their excitement like that of a lecherous demon who had been imprisoned for ninety years, about to burst into a brothel.

Lin Yaoxie was still smiling, but there was a hint of helplessness in his expression.

If the Thirteen Riders of Black Long could be satisfied with killing a few soldiers, what about him?

Lin Yaoxie had been in seclusion for far too long. Even though he had enjoyed himself immensely with his wives during those ninety years, as a man, wouldn't he crave something more passionate? Ahem, of course, definitely passionate, not homoerotic. While Lin Yaoxie's desires were strong, his sexual orientation was perfectly normal. If there were any deviations, it wouldn't really matter; after all, he still had thirteen strong, muscular men, led by Hei Long, to keep him entertained. Hehe.

Lin Yaoxie also longed for battle, which is why he fought with Xie Xun, A Da, and the others. But the fight was utterly uninteresting. The world's top experts couldn't withstand even a casual move from him; it was truly boring.

Compared to the world of Condor Heroes, how come this world is so weak!

Of course, compared to the world of Condor Heroes, the average combat power of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is indeed much lower, but not by an abnormally large margin. It's just that Lin Yaoxie's progress is too terrifying. In ninety years, a master who was already invincible could completely become a god.

Lin Yaoxie could now understand Dugu Qiubai's loneliness.

Compared to the pride of being invincible, the feeling of bewilderment when looking around with a drawn sword is even stronger.

This is also why he didn't rush to kill the protagonist to get Demon King Points.

Chapter 135: Collecting Beauties [First Update]

After killing Zhang Wuji and other key figures, you will naturally receive rewards. However, these rewards will only be redeemed after returning to the main world.

In other words, even if Lin Yaoxie obtained more Demon King Points, it would be useless to him now. He has no rivals in this world. Since that's the case, it's better to keep Zhang Wuji alive and let him grow stronger.

In this way, he will have an opponent in this world, although he may be easily defeated, it will at least increase the game's playability.

Soon after, they arrived at the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands. Then, the Thirteen Black-Long Riders swung their bronze hammers and smashed them until only a few dozen remained before stopping.

Lin Yaoxie simply sat in the chair without moving an inch.

"Is it over?" Lin Yaoxie asked after seeing that Hei Long and the others had stopped.

"Hmm." The thirteen men from the Black Dragon Group surrounded the remaining sixty or so people in the middle.

“Yes, Master, what do you suggest we do next?” Black Long waved his hammer.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the sixty-three people huddled together and said, "You can leave now."

Four words confused more than sixty people.

More than a hundred eyes were fixed on Lin Yaoxie, her eyes brimming with tears, making her look like sixty or so budding young girls about to be raped by hundreds of men.

"My master told you to get out of here, didn't you hear me?" Black Long roared, raising his hammer.

As it turns out, Lin Yaoxie's occasional gentle breezes and soothing words were ineffective against a bunch of scoundrels. The only way to deal with them was with a combination of force and punishment.

The sixty-odd people were completely confused, but when they saw the large hammer in Hei Long's hand that reflected blood, they all felt the aura of death.

Without asking any more questions, he scrambled to his feet and ran out of the main hall.

"Wait!" Lin Yaoxie said again.

This time it was settled. Without Hei Long raising his hammer to give the order, all sixty-odd people stopped immediately. Even those who had already stepped halfway out of the hall dared not move.

"My name is Lin Yaoxie, the Demon Emperor from ninety years ago. You probably don't remember me, do you?" Lin Yaoxie's voice was very soft; you couldn't hear it clearly unless you held your breath.

Unfortunately, the hall was now completely silent, and these unlucky guys, having been on the verge of death, had exceptionally good hearing.

If it were any other time, mentioning the Demon Emperor's Forest as a place of evil spirits or demons would probably have made these people pause in surprise. But now, with their comrades lying dead all over the place, their dusty memories were instantly wiped clean.

The Demon Emperor from ninety years ago, that powerful figure existing only in stories. My goodness, those thirteen murderous demon kings and the thirteen furry giants lying not far away, aren't they the legendary Thirteen Black Riders?

The sixty-odd junior leaders suddenly had a revelation, as if they had been enlightened without any instruction. They all turned around and kowtowed repeatedly to Lin Yaoxie.

Before they could start flattering and praising him, Lin Yaoxie cleared his throat again, and the hall fell silent once more.

"There's no need for you to worship me. If you want to continue living, organize all the evil forces of Tianshan now and storm into the Yuan Dynasty."

Lin Yaoxie picked at his ear before continuing, "What I want you to do is very simple, just like what your predecessors did ninety years ago. To storm the martial arts world, but this time not as righteous people, but to kill the Yuan Dynasty's officials and soldiers. At the same time, spread the news of my Demon Emperor's resurrection. It's that simple."

The martial world is truly in chaos. This chaos didn't just begin after the information about Tu Longdao appeared; it's because the previously quiet evil forces of Tianshan have suddenly erupted like madmen.

Moreover, these reckless individuals brazenly attacked several of the Yuan Dynasty's major cities. Naturally, they were met with retaliation from the Yuan army.

Ninety years without war meant the Mongol cavalry was no longer as formidable as it had been during Möngke's reign. However, their sheer numbers allowed them to quell the remaining sixty-odd island lords and cave chiefs in just two or three years.

However, the deaths of these unfortunate souls were meaningful, as they spread the news of the Demon Emperor's resurrection. Although the vanguard was wiped out, the Han people couldn't bear the legend of the Demon Emperor and the racial discrimination of the current Yuan Dynasty rulers.

Armed forces bearing the banner of the Demon Kingdom rose up across the land, and the Yuan Dynasty's rule became increasingly precarious. The Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, Prince Ruyang, was busy with his duties, and even his son, Wang Baobao, had been promoted to General of the Cavalry. The father and son found themselves locked in a fierce tug-of-war with the rebel forces.

On this day, Lin Yaoxie appeared on Mount Kunlun. He walked among the snow-capped mountains, his white clothes blending seamlessly with the swirling snowflakes, making it impossible to distinguish between man and nature.

Since the incident at Lingjiu Palace, Lin Yaoxie had lost some of his enthusiasm. He returned to the ancient tomb and resumed his happy life with his wives.

The girls, including Xiaolong, were quite surprised. They hadn't expected Lin Yaoxie to return so quickly, nor had they expected that he hadn't brought back a new sister after going out this time.

Lin Yaoxie's response was that the time wasn't right yet, and there weren't any stunning beauties to snatch up right now.

Three years later, Lin Yaoxie emerged from the ancient tomb again. Because if the original plot of *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* were to unfold as it did, a day later, tomorrow, Zhang Wuji, fleeing in disarray, would arrive at Red Plum Manor. He would then be discovered by the Zhu and Wu families, deceived, and ultimately fall off a cliff, accidentally obtaining the Nine Yang Manual and beginning his extraordinary life.

Lin Yaoxie was not afraid that Zhang Wuji would obtain the Nine Yang Manual; what he cared about were the daughters of the Zhu and Wu families, Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying.

Although these two characters didn't receive much attention in the original novel and their fates were rather unfortunate, it's undeniable that they were incredibly beautiful, known as the "Twin Beauties of Snow Ridge," and their beauty was in no way inferior to that of Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xiao Zhao.

For Lin Yaoxie now, there are no rivals in this world. Moreover, due to the scarcity of spiritual energy, it will be difficult for him to make any further breakthroughs in his sword cultivation.

So for him, nothing in this world mattered except women.

Before returning to the main world, I can only try to collect as many beauties as possible.

Chapter 136: The Two Beauties of the Snowy Mountains [Second Update]

There are still so many beautiful women in this world to collect, which is why Lin Yaoxie appeared before Zhang Wuji. After all, beauties and treasures are the same; whoever gets them first gets them.

Red Plum Manor is a small villa within the Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor, and both owners of the Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor have some connection with Lin Yaoxie, sharing a blood feud involving the killing of their ancestors.

In the original novel, Zhu Jiuzhen is a descendant of Zhu Ziliu, while Wu Qingying is a descendant of Wu Xiuwen. She is the young Wu who intends to bully Guo Fu.

Since Lin Yaoxie killed Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu was unmarried when he died, he naturally could not have any descendants.

However, there's a theory in this world called the butterfly effect. Lin Yaoxie, a demon emperor who shouldn't exist, forcibly appeared in this world, and even had a precedent of tearing through the void. Therefore, many things have already deviated from their original course.

For example, the Duke of Vincent, who should not have appeared in the East, did.

Wu Qingying's grandfather was the same. Although he wasn't Xiao Wu's biological son, he was an abandoned baby found by Xiao Wu's father, Wu Santong.

Wu Santong was already quite old at the time, so he used his youngest son's name to treat the abandoned baby as his grandson.

In the battle between good and evil, Wu Santong and Zhu Ziliu were both killed by Lin Yaoxie's flying sword. However, their descendants survived. After several decades of reproduction, the Snow Ridge Twin Beauties, Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying, two peerless beauties who lived in the snow mountains, were born.

Red Plum Manor is where Zhu Jiuzhen usually trains her vicious dogs. Right now, Zhu Jiuzhen is also inside Red Plum Manor.

Lin Yaoxie strolled along, and before he even reached the gate of Red Plum Manor, he heard the sound of dogs barking coming from inside.

"General, charge! Yes, yes, catch that hare! Yes, yes, kill it!" If you only listen to the voice and don't pay attention to the words, the voice is absolutely heavenly, clear and pleasant, as clean and crisp as a copper bell.

Lin Yaoxie walked to the gate and raised his hand to knock on the courtyard gate.

Three knocks on the door were met with a series of barks from inside.

"General, come back here! There's still one rabbit to catch, no slacking off!" Zhu Jiuzhen's voice perfectly blended gentleness and sharpness.

"Sister, you continue training the Great General. I'll go open the door; it might be Senior Brother Wei Bi." The voice was equally pleasant; it must be Wu Qingying.

"Is it really Cousin Wei Bi? I'll go get it, I'll go get it." Zhu Jiuzhen's voice became anxious.

"Wei Bi?" Lin Yaoxie murmured to himself, a murderous intent rising within him. He had originally planned to take the two beauties, Zhu Wu and Wei Bi, but upon hearing the name Wei Bi, he recalled the allusion from the original novel.

Both Zhu and Wu sisters are in love with Wei Bi. Wei Bi is Zhu Jiuzhen's cousin and Wu Qingying's senior brother. He is indeed a charming and suave man, a master of romance. He moves between the two sisters with great ease.
