Chapter 253 Mysterious Visitor

Lin Fei, however, had no idea what the power of merit mentioned by the three ancient emperors had to do with the merit system he possessed. But he had a vague feeling that there must be some unknown connection between the two.

Unfortunately, in his current state, he could neither speak nor do anything, so he could only bury this question in his heart for the time being and listen to the conversation of the three ancient emperors.

……

After a long silence, Emperor Xuanyuan finally spoke, saying, "Since the three of us intend to use merit to attain enlightenment, we cannot stand idly by and watch the people suffer from demonic energy. I, Yuanyi, am willing to contribute my own merit."

He turned to look at Emperor Fuxi beside him: "Brother Fuxi, what about you? Of the three of us, your cultivation has been the most difficult. You must think carefully. Don't act impulsively and delay your tens of thousands of years of hard work in cultivation."

“Brother Xuanyuan underestimates me.” Emperor Fuxi grinned. “Although I don’t have the same level of awareness as you, I’m not the kind of person who would stay out of things that don’t concern me. Besides, being able to temporarily suppress the Demonic Sect gives me more confidence when negotiating with the Heavenly Court. I’m also willing to contribute my merit.”

"In that case, we should act quickly and try to suppress the power of the Demonic Sect as soon as possible, so that we can go to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible and do our part in dealing with the matter between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan."

……

The Three Emperors sat cross-legged in the Fire Cloud Cave, their position and posture exactly the same as the three skeletons Lin Fei had seen in the Fire Cloud Cave before.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the Three Sovereigns of antiquity were ambushed by the enemy at this moment and died in the Fire Cloud Cave?"

As they spoke, the three emperors each took out their treasures and placed them in front of them.

The first treasure is, of course, the sword of Emperor Xuanyuan, which is also the treasure that Lin Fei is most familiar with—the Xuanyuan Sword.

The second treasure is a large cauldron, which is the Shennong Cauldron, the personal magic weapon of the Earthly Sovereign Shennong.

As for the third treasure, it is an ancient zither, which is the famous magic weapon of the human emperor Fuxi, and is also one of the ten ancient divine weapons, the Fuxi Zither.

The Earthly Emperor Shennong said, "My two brothers, I will now send these three magical treasures into the Demonic Sect. Both of you should maintain contact with your respective treasures. Once the treasures are inside the Demonic Sect, use your merit to temporarily seal the spreading demonic energy!"

The Earth Emperor moved his hands quickly, and the three treasures shone brightly before disappearing from their sight.

These three treasures are divine weapons that the Three Sovereigns cultivated with countless hours of painstaking effort. Just as Xuanyuan once said, the Xuanyuan Sword is like his other pair of eyes.

Shortly after the three treasures disappeared, a black aura suddenly flashed across the faces of the three emperors, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

"Is this the power deep within the Demonic Sect?" Xuanyuan had clearly seen the scene within the Demonic Sect through the Xuanyuan Sword, and a look of heartache appeared on his face: "I'm afraid even a treasure like the Xuanyuan Sword would suffer serious damage if it stayed in the Demonic Sect for too long."

"At this point, we can't worry about that anymore." Shennong sighed and said, "Suppressing the power of the demonic sect is the most important thing now. As for the damage to the three treasures, we can find a way to repair them sooner or later with more time."

As they spoke, the Three Emperors began to circulate their power, hoping to use their own strength, along with three peerless divine weapons, to temporarily suppress the power of the demonic sect.

However, the power of the Demonic Sect was far greater than they had imagined, and it was a power they had never seen before. Even with the combined merit of the Three Emperors and the addition of three peerless divine weapons, suppressing it seemed extremely difficult.

The dark aura on the three emperors' faces grew increasingly intense, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. Lin Fei, watching from the side, could clearly sense the strain these three were putting on.

At this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the Fire Cloud Cave: "The Buddha Ksitigarbha requests an audience with His Majesty the Three Sovereigns!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fei immediately became alert—at this crucial moment, the Three Sovereigns were clearly not able to spare a single thought. Could it be that the deaths of the Three Sovereigns were related to the ancient Buddhist sect?

No sooner had the voice outside faded than another voice angrily boomed, "His Majesty the Three Emperors has urgent business to attend to and is not receiving guests. You'd better leave now! Don't disturb the three emperors' secluded cultivation!"

Lin Fei was all too familiar with that voice—it was the fire qilin that was chained to the stone tablet in front of the Fire Cloud Cave.

As soon as the fire qilin's voice fell, the same voice rang out again: "You're nothing but a beast, how dare you yell at this humble monk? Di Ting, teach this unruly beast a lesson!"

Outside the Fire Cloud Cave, two distinct roars of wild beasts rang out. It seemed that the Fire Qilin guarding the cave was fighting with another ferocious beast.

Those outside the cave, perhaps out of fear of the Three Emperors' strength, did not directly enter the Fire Cloud Cave, but their voices had already affected the Three Emperors who were inside the cave.

At this moment, the Three Emperors were at a critical juncture in dealing with the demonic energy of the Demonic Sect, and they could not afford to be distracted at all. The sounds outside the cave had already affected them to some extent.

However, the voice outside the cave did not stop, but continued, "It seems that His Majesty the Third Emperor is truly unavailable. In that case, this humble monk will simply speak from outside the cave. This humble monk has come to deliver a message to His Majesty the Third Emperor: the Demon Mother is planning to go to the Heavenly Court to seek justice for the demon race. Perhaps she is already fighting outside the South Heavenly Gate. If His Majesty the Third Emperor truly does not have the time, then this humble monk will not disturb you any further. This humble monk has delivered the message, and this humble monk will now take his leave."

"As for you, you beast, who dared to be disrespectful to this humble monk, I will use this Netherworld Chain to lock you up here for now!" The voice continued, "Once you have reflected on your actions, I will spare your life for the sake of the three emperors!"

After saying that, the voice fell silent, apparently having already left.

After the person outside the cave had been gone for a long time, the black aura on Emperor Fuxi's face grew even thicker. Suddenly, Emperor Fuxi's expression changed, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Fuxi, guard your mind and do not let that demonic energy give you any opportunity to take advantage!" The voice of Emperor Xuanyuan resounded in the Fire Cloud Cave like a muffled thunder.
