80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled-Chapter 51: Midnight Nightmare

The bloody letter revealed the terrifying Livestock-Making technique to the world.

Everyone went into an uproar.

In the Forbidden City, Lin Tianyuan issued an imperial decree.

Only five words were written…

Exterminate the Mountain Ghost Race!

His order received the cheers and support of the people.

With this, the matter finally came to an end.

Lin Tianyuan directly got the imperial guards and the Forbidden Troops to search for every member of the Mountain Ghost Race. As long as any of them were found, they would be arrested and brought to the Imperial Capital for imprisonment.

Lin Tianyuan wanted to use the life and death of the captured members of the Mountain Ghost Race to attract Lord Mountain Ghost and lure him over to the capital.

…

In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat heard the lively discussion of the people outside.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Jiufeng couldn't really hear any noise from the outside while he was in the Cold Palace. He also didn't take the initiative to listen to the outside world.

But even Lin Jiufeng was disturbed by the people's fury.

Using his Divine Soul, he expanded his spiritual perception and listened to the noises coming from the outside world. Through the crowd's voices, Lin Jiufeng found out what was going on.

He also learned about the contents of the bloody letter.

The white cat did the same as him and it also found out what was going on outside.

After the man and cat understood the situation, they fell silent.

The Livestock-Making Technique truly was evil.

But Lord Mountain Ghost was a greater evil.

To think that he would even set his sights on a lonely old man.

Furthermore, he didn't even kill the old man.

Instead, he wanted the old man to continue living as a dog.

He clearly wanted to humiliate the old man!

After understanding the contents of the bloody letter, Lin Jiufeng's expression turned cold.

He said, "I should have made a move and killed this Lord Mountain Ghost."

He thought that Lin Tianyuan could handle this matter, but who knew that Lord Mountain Ghost was this cunning and evil?

If he had known that this would be the case, Lin Jiufeng would have attacked directly.

No matter how powerful or cunning that Lord Mountain Ghost was—he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Imperial Capital.

Seeing that Lin Jiufeng was blaming himself, the white cat meowed and comforted him.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head. Lord Mountain Ghost had already escaped from the Imperial Capital. Even if he was a Human God, it would still be difficult for him to find the latter.

Was this matter going to be forgotten just like that?

…

It has been seven days since Lord Mountain Ghost escaped.

The matter regarding the bloody letter and the old man eventually died down.

Although the old man still died in the end. He chose to end his own life.

Everyone gradually forgot about this matter.

However, the Imperial Court's army had set out to capture mountain ghosts everywhere.

Whenever they discovered one, they would capture it.

As a result, the common people still felt a sense of security with their actions.

But to the Mountain Ghost Race, this was a catastrophe.

It has been 1,500 years since their last appearance, yet they immediately offended the number one superpower in the world.

The Yuhua God Dynasty!

The number of Martial Sages beneath the Yuhua God Dynasty's banner could be considered to be close to a thousand already. In the face of such an overwhelmingly powerful force, the resistance of the Mountain Ghost Race was akin to that of a rock against an egg.

Noticing these events, Lord Mountain Ghost became anxious.

He hurriedly set out to find the sleeping ancestor of their race so that the Mountain Ghost Race in its entirety could be saved.

"Let's see if your Yuhua God Dynasty can withstand the power of our ancestor from 1,500 years ago!" Lord Mountain Ghost said with resentment.

…

At night, Lin Tianyuan went to the Empress's Palace to sleep.

Although he had no love for the Queen, after having interacted with her for so long, he knew how much he had hurt the Empress by being so foolish.

Hence, he started to come over to her palace every day to accompany this first wife of his.

Late at night, Lin Tianyuan was finally done dealing with the state affairs as he slept with the Empress.

Usually, Lin Tianyuan never slept outright whenever he was done with the state affairs. Instead, he would quietly cultivate for a few hours to strengthen his cultivation base.

But tonight, he truly fell asleep.

This was the first time that Lin Tianyuan truly slept since his need for sleep disappeared due to his cultivation base.

Tonight, he not only fell asleep, but he also had a dream.

…

It was a nightmare!

In his dream, Lin Tianyuan felt that he was being pursued by an evil dragon.

Its speed was so fast that it was about to catch up to him and swallow him whole.

He ran and fought back, but it was useless.

He was sent flying by its tail.

He crashed heavily onto the ground as he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

But just as he was unable to resist…

The dragon let out a deafening sound. "Emperor of the mortal world, release those captured members of the Mountain Ghost Race, or I will devour your soul."

With that said, the dragon bit down and swallowed Lin Tianyuan.

"No!"

In the Empress's Palace, Lin Tianyuan jumped up in shock.

He was drenched in sweat.

His face was pale and his figure wobbled weakly.

It was obvious that something had consumed some of his life energy.

"Your Majesty. What's wrong?" The Empress asked worriedly.

Lin Tianyuan looked around and slowly recalled. "I… had a… I had a nightmare."

The Empress advised. "Your Majesty, you are too occupied with a lot of things every day…"

"You must be tired."

"I will get someone to make some supplements for the nourishment of your body. Dreams are all the opposite of reality. Since it's a nightmare, it means that Your Majesty is about to encounter something good."

"Something good?" Lin Tianyuan murmured.

He didn't think so.

The evil dragon in his dream had mentioned the Mountain Ghost Race.

Could it be that he had been too obsessed with them recently and thus, he dreamed about them?

After expressing his gratitude but dismissing the Queen's good intentions, Lin Tianyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He rested and recovered a little, then he dealt with the state affairs.

At night, he stayed alone in the Great Council Hall.

He wasn't going to sleep, he planned to deal with the state affairs through the night.

But in the latter half of the night, the lights flickered slightly.

Lin Tianyuan's expression became absent-minded.

He saw someone walking into the Great Council Hall.

A person shrouded in shadows was holding a blood-red longsword, dripping blood.

As he walked in, the sound of footsteps echoed.

What was even more terrifying was that behind this person, a sea of blood was surging.

As he walked, it surged over, wanting to drown the entire Great Council Hall.

"Emperor of the mortal world, it seems that you have forgotten what I warned you about yesterday." The man who was shrouded in shadows spoke in a cold voice.

Lin Tianyuan's eyes widened as he watched in disbelief.

"Today is the last warning. There won't be a third chance."

"If you still don't release the captured mountain ghosts, I will come and take your worthless life tomorrow!"

The black shadow warned Lin Tianyuan before he slashed down with the blood-red longsword.

The blood-red longsword swept up a sea of blood.

Lin Tianyuan couldn't withstand the strike.

He couldn't move at all.

Boom!

This sword directly split Lin Tianyuan into two.

The pain was very real, jolting him awake from fright.

The Great Council Hall was still the same Great Council Hall as usual, but Lin Tianyuan felt as if he had lost half of his life.

"It's the people of the Mountain Ghost Race causing trouble. They want to kill me, but I won't give in!" Lin Tianyuan gnashed his teeth.

He slowly tried to heal the injuries on his body.

This kind of attack was incredible.

The attack he had just suffered through—truly was incredible.

Once he recovered a little, he left the Great Council Hall.

He headed straight for the Cold Palace.

Arriving in front of the Cold Palace, Lin Tianyuan knelt on the ground and shouted, "Uncle, save me!"

Lin Jiufeng waved his sleeve and the doors of the Cold Palace opened.

He was very surprised to see Lin Tianyuan who seemed to have lost half of his life.

"What happened to you?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Uncle, it's the Mountain Ghost Race. They are the ones causing trouble and threatening me to release the captured mountain ghosts," Lin Tianyuan said weakly.

He explained the situation to Lin Jiufeng.

In the previous two nights, he lost more than half of his life energy.

He was on the verge of collapse.

If that nightmare happened again, then he would definitely die.

"The Mountain Ghost Race!" Lin Jiufeng's eyes flashed sharply.

"It's the ability to send one's Divine Soul into a dream." The white cat wrote with its claws.

It knew about this strange attack.

"Entering a dream with his Divine Soul? I will slay his Divine Soul tonight!"

Lin Jiufeng snorted coldly.
