Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 302 - 293: Wolong and Fengchu, All My Old Friends Are Here!

Chapter 302: Chapter 293: Wolong and Fengchu, All My Old Friends Are Here!

He then saw in the iron cage all sorts of animals being held captive, including mice, and weasels like him, in all different colors, squirrels, snakes...all kinds.

Talking to him was a small viper, flicking its tongue and looking at the Icefield Demon Lord with a face full of despair.

The Icefield Demon Lord scrutinized the little viper, sensing a familiar aura from its body.

Then he tentatively asked, "Suo Luo Ancestor??"

At those words, the little viper nodded helplessly.

Suo Luo Ancestor, the ancestor of the Sorlo Demon Realm, in terms of seniority, was of a generation higher than him, the Icefield Demon Realm Lord. He was of the same level and era as the Icefield Saint Ancestor.

"Didn’t you successfully consume the Divine Medicine of the Sacred Medicine Garden and dramatically increase your cultivation?"

"How did you end up here with me, confined like this?"

The Icefield Demon Lord asked, puzzled.

At those words, the little viper sighed heavily and said, "I was too greedy."

After some conversation, the Icefield Demon Lord learned the true situation.

It turned out that in the past, the Sorlo Demon Realm was even more frantic than the Icefield Demon Realm. To explore the legendary Sacred Medicine Garden, they directly sent a large batch of key figures into the Abyss Passage, arriving at the Sacred Medicine Garden. They expended countless years, lost many generals, and in the end, only succeeded in bringing back one Divine Medicine.

After consuming that Divine Medicine, Suo Luo Ancestor also broke through the bottleneck and reached a new realm.

Then, with renewed confidence, he decided to personally go to the Sacred Medicine Garden.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Divine Medicine Garden, he turned into a weak and feeble little viper. Not to mention stealing the medicine, he got caught after just a few steps.

After hearing about this misfortune, the Icefield Demon Lord closed his eyes, his body trembled.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he dreaded this endless wait for judgment in darkness.

Before coming, he imagined various scenarios, certainly perilous, but as long as he was cautious enough, even if he couldn’t obtain the Divine Medicine, at least he could escape, preserve his life, right?

However, after arriving, he realized it was nothing like he had imagined; he had turned into a little weasel with no strength, locked up like livestock...

...

The Icefield Ancestor looked over all the small animals in the iron cage and found that each and every one of them had a presence no less than his own!

That means all the people imprisoned here were top figures from various Great Worlds, now raised like beasts?!

What place is this, really?

"You still don’t know where this is?"

The little viper asked with a puzzled face.

"No idea," the Icefield Demon Lord shook his head.

He only knew that here lay a Sacred Medicine Garden, one where Divine Medicine so precious it drove countless powerful beings mad, grew!

"This is the legendary... River of Time!" The little viper had learned after being captured that the Sacred Medicine Garden was built atop the River of Time.

And this wasn’t even the most crucial part. The most critical part was that this Sacred Medicine Garden was the vegetable garden of the Supreme existence guarding the River of Time!

Upon learning this was the River of Time, the Icefield Demon Lord was shocked but had somewhat expected it. However, when he heard that this Sacred Medicine Garden was actually the vegetable garden of the being guarding the River of Time, he truly felt despair.

What caliber is someone who guards the River of Time??

Is their garden something you can just rob?

If only he had known earlier about the Sacred Medicine Garden’s origin, he wouldn’t have come even if it cost him his life!

Now, he began to worry that his second and third brothers might not be able to resist coming to find him.

He couldn’t escape now. If the second and third brothers end up here too, then the Icefield Demon Realm would be completely done for.

.....

"Old Luo, it’s been a while."

At this time, a big black rat slowly emerged from behind the little viper.

Seeing this big black rat, the Icefield Demon Lord was initially stunned. After sensing its aura, his eyes widened: "Old Demon Yuan?!"

This big black rat was the nemesis of the Icefield Demon Realm, the Demon Lord of the Cyan Blue Demon Realm.

Since their inception, the Cyan Blue Demon Realm and the Icefield Demon Realm had always been mortal enemies, always at war, constantly invading each other, from the first generation Demon Lord, through to the seventy-eighth generation.

This Old Demon Yuan was the current Demon Lord of the Cyan Blue Demon Realm and had fought with the Icefield Demon Lord over a hundred times. Not to mention turning into a rat, even if turned to ash, the Icefield Demon Lord would recognize him!

"Hahahahahaha!"

Upon seeing Old Demon Yuan at that moment, the Icefield Demon Lord suddenly burst into laughter, making a laughing sound that resembled a weasel’s squeak.

Facing the taunt of his sworn enemy, Old Demon Yuan snorted coldly and said, "What? Seeing me here makes you happy?"

"Of course, I was worried that, after I didn’t return, you would lead Cyan Blue to exploit the situation and invade my Icefield."

"But now, seeing this, there’s no need to worry, isn’t that something to be happy about?"

"Hahahaha"

In despair, seeing his old adversary also captured, the Icefield Demon Lord finally found a bit of solace.

At this moment, the Icefield Demon Lord noticed that there were three or four little mice standing behind Old Demon Yuan.

"Oh?"

"Your left and right arms, your protectors, have also been imprisoned?"

These words made Old Demon Yuan so angry his whole body started to tremble.

Back then, to explore the Sacred Medicine Garden, he brought along the key forces of the Cyan Blue Demon Realm’s upper echelons, only to be caught entirely in one sweep.

Now, the entire Cyan Blue Demon Realm was being propped up by a bunch of small fry, superficially strong but hollow within.

"Hahahaha, this is great, just great!"

"Even if I die here, witnessing the fall of Cyan Blue is worth it!" the Icefield Demon Lord laughed loudly.

....

"What the hell are you laughing at!"

The big black rat pounced on the little weasel, and the two began to tear and wrestle with each other.

These two top-tier Demon Lords were now like two kids in a spat, biting each other on the neck and tail.

The next second, a wooden stick reached in and gave them both a knock on the head, leaving them dizzy.

"Behave yourselves!"

"If you fight again, I’ll turn you into meat slices for snacks later!"

Threatened by the Little Brown Bear, the two sworn enemies immediately quieted down.

.....

The Icefield Demon Lord lay sprawled on the ground, looking up at the black prison above.

"Old Demon Yuan, it looks like our end has come here."

"Our grudge is finally over."

"We’ve become mere fish on the chopping block for those great figures now."

"However, I’m different from you; this time, I came alone, and my second and third brothers are still in the Icefield Demon Realm."

"I even instructed my second and third brothers that if I don’t return, they shouldn’t come looking for me."

"Hahahaha!"

Saying this, the Icefield Demon Lord couldn’t help but laugh again.

"I believe my second and third brothers will take good charge of the Icefield Demon Realm and lead it to prosperity."

"Someday, those clever brothers of mine will definitely attack your Cyan Blue Demon Realm. By then...with your old bones gone, what will your Cyan Blue use to defend against my brothers’ attack??"

"So whether I can return doesn’t matter anymore!"

Hearing these words, Old Demon Yuan felt his heart sink to the bottom. He shouldn’t have, couldn’t have brought all the key figures of Cyan Blue here, regretting not leaving a backup plan.

"Old Demon Yuan, I’m not desperate, I even look forward and feel pleased!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I look forward to the day my brothers sweep through your Cyan Blue. Although I won’t be able to witness it with my own eyes, I’m still very happy!"

.....

Icefield Demon Realm.

Three thousand years had passed since the Clan Leader and big brother left.

"Second brother, I have an idea."

The third in command of the Icefield Demon Realm said to the second in command before him.

"What idea?" the Icefield second in command asked with a frown.

"Second brother, look, the soul lamp of the big brother is still lit, which means he is still alive and has no worries for his life."

"I boldly guess, maybe the big brother has already had a fruitful harvest in the Sacred Medicine Garden, so much Divine Medicine that he can’t carry it all. We should go and help him move it together!"

The third in command said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the Icefield second in command remained silent for a while and said, "Makes sense."

"But, didn’t big brother say we shouldn’t act rashly?"

"Second brother, what are you afraid of? If Big Brother had really met with some misfortune, the soul lamp would have extinguished long ago. The fact that it’s still lit means Big Brother is making good progress!"

"Besides, maybe Big Brother is waiting for us to go find him now!"
