"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!"
The powerful Break Day Cannon relentlessly bombarded Fang Lin Kong's protective shield, causing blood to seep from the corners of his mouth as he gritted his teeth. At that moment, the building beneath him finally succumbed to the relentless assault and collapsed completely.
Fang Lin Kong felt the ground give way beneath his feet, and with a rush of wind, he plummeted toward the ground.
Falling from the twenty-eighth floor was no trivial matter, and Fang Lin Kong had no idea if his protective shield could withstand such a tremendous impact. Ganesha was momentarily taken aback, forgetting to continue the attack.
In modern times, both humans and monsters placed great emphasis on physical training. A mere twenty-something floors was nothing more than a few steps for them. It was rare to find someone like Fang Lin Kong, who did not know how to harness physical strength or fly using magical powers.
Earlier, when Fang Lin Kong made his first move, he left a deep impression on Ganesha. Therefore, as he fell, Ganesha's first thought was, "Is this guy trying to show weakness? Even if he's pretending, he doesn't have to be this foolish. Falling from twenty-something floors? Humans these days are truly unbelievable."
Lin Yu confronted this crisis with a wry smile. Fang Lin Kong was so tense that he forgot to let her out. Instead, he focused solely on urging his magical treasures to strengthen the shield.
At that critical moment, among the ten or so magical treasures surrounding Fang Lin Kong, a fiery red orb seemed to be triggered by something. Suddenly, it erupted in brilliant light and appeared to liquefy, its shape becoming irregular as it transformed into a massive bubble. It elongated vertically and rapidly expanded, enveloping Fang Lin Kong's protective shield.
Fang Lin Kong felt as if his body was being lifted by a great force. Just before crashing into the ground, all momentum was dissipated, and he began to rise slowly into the air. Outside of him, within the bubble, a magnificent aerial throne formed brilliantly. Above the throne were countless precious banners layered in the sky, not only shielding the throne but also creating an exquisite canopy.
Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner—
Fang Lin Kong knew the name of this item but had never understood why a single orb would bear such a grand title. Now he realized that this was the true form of this treasure from the Demon Gate.
The Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner slowly ascended, radiating an immense brilliance that illuminated the entire sky with a fiery red glow. In contrast, the weapon in Ganesha's hand appeared as faint as a firefly, overshadowed by the dazzling light of the sun.
Ganesha, unwilling to accept defeat, repeatedly pulled the trigger. However, the powerful Break Day Cannon struck the protective shield of the Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner without causing even the slightest ripple; it simply vanished.
Seated on his throne, Fang Lin Kong gazed in astonishment at this treasure from the Demon Gate. On a platform ten steps long and eight steps wide, a massive throne more comfortable than a luxurious double bed was placed at the center. Surrounding it were intricately carved railings, red silk drapes, colorful lanterns, and the lavishly adorned Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner. The canopy above was exquisitely beautiful, embroidered with countless fine threads depicting magical beasts, demon gods, war chariots, and blood clouds—both stunningly beautiful and eerily strange.
Lin Yu practiced pure Daoist Magic, while the so-called Demon Gate had disappeared hundreds of years ago. Although some offshoot sects remained, they had sought legal status in modern society and ensured compliance with earthly laws. Thus, the traditional concept of the Demon Gate no longer existed. Lin Yu had never encountered a practitioner from the Demon Gate and could not discern any specific differences between this treasure from the Demon Gate and a Daoist Celestial Weapon.
The Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner transcended ordinary magical artifacts; its demonic light contained immense power. While onlookers could sense its extraordinary might and nearly limitless potential, they could not perceive the chilling aura of death hidden within.
As the Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner carried Fang Lin Kong higher into the air once more, Ganesha felt a twinge of fear. He had heard tales of China being an ancient land with hidden talents; it was entirely possible for an ordinary street cleaner to have been a genius disciple of a secret sect decades ago.
There were even legends of an elite member of the International Demon Alliance who was shot dead by a traffic officer while crossing the street in China. Remarkably, it was done with an ordinary Type 54 pistol rather than a Psycho Weapon. The power displayed was indicative of the user's profound skill.
Though Ganesha had always dismissed such rumors as exaggerated tales, today he found himself facing undeniable reality. No matter how fierce he was, he could not shake off his unease. Moreover, White Whale Born served as a prime example; after coming to China, he had undergone a drastic transformation from a carefree young man to a silent and cold individual. Ganesha had previously looked down on White Whale Born's change, but now that it was happening to him—he finally felt fear.
The Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner was a treasure obtained by Blue Plow Ancestor from the demon realm; it served as an ultimate throne for demon lords to assert their dominance over countless demons. It inherently exuded a kingly aura of oppression. Ganesha's pre-battle trepidation was undoubtedly influenced by this overwhelming pressure.
Fang Lin Kong stood atop the Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner like a hellish demon king surveying his domain.
The demons floating in the sky felt a chill creeping into their hearts as they surged with anxiety.
At that moment, thunderous sounds like breaking air echoed from afar. More than ten beams of light surged across the sky and approached rapidly in an instant.
“Ganesha! What have you done? The mission has failed, and you will have to explain yourself to the higher-ups!”
Finally free from the entanglement of the Six-Eyed Celestial Wolf, White Whale Born hurriedly arrived at the battlefield, but the situation left him feeling helpless. If Lin Ming-Tang and the local monsters had agreed, there would have been no need to resort to force. The Chinese Daoist Sect had tied up the Demon Hunting Team and the True Flame Sect, making communication a time-consuming process. By the time the Chinese cultivators reached a unified opinion, everything had already been set in motion, leaving no room for intervention.
However, Ganesha's actions had not quickly subdued Lin Ming-Tang and the other local monsters, causing significant destruction and unrest. Once the Chinese Taoist Sect intervened, there was no way to reverse the situation.
After briefly explaining things, White Whale Born angrily went to negotiate with the arriving Kunlun Disciple. This matter involved compensation and Ganesha's obvious criminal actions, which could not be resolved on the spot.
Although both sides exercised restraint, they parted ways unhappily. Everything would have to wait for further negotiations from the International Demon Alliance. Kunlun demanded the detention of Ganesha and the True Flame Sect envoy, but White Whale Born refused with various excuses. The Kunlun disciples clearly lacked the authority to use force to detain anyone; apart from getting White Whale Born's promise that Ganesha and others would not leave the area, there was nothing more to discuss.
Since it was no longer his concern, Fang Lin Kong had already put away his protective treasures. If it weren't for Lin Yu's curiosity about him wanting to introduce him to his Kunlun brothers, Fang Lin Kong would have simply flown home using the Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner, saving himself the cost of a plane ticket. He realized that he had been somewhat wasteful in using these treasures without fully utilizing their potential.
Earlier, when Lin Yu sent a message via fire signal, the Kunlun Elder who received it did not arrive; it was unclear what had delayed them. Fang Lin Kong felt a wave of unease upon seeing these cultivators from Kunlun. Ever since his encounter with Eastern Thunder from the Ten Directions of Hell, he had developed a certain wariness towards all Daoist Sects.
