The river of time is an absolutely dangerous place.

But now is not the time for Lin Che to think too much, because he still hasn't bought a copy of the "Fragment of Time". He opened the system shop and saw that the system's items had been refreshed, but there was no new "Fragment of Time".

"Given the system's unruly nature, the items currently in the shop should have been refreshed after I reached the tenth-grade Human King realm. As for refreshing the 'Fragment of Time' that I want, I'm afraid I'll have to completely conquer the Heavenly Dao Alliance Holy Land or reclaim the Holy Land."

Lin Che glanced at the system shop and closed it; the items were all high-quality.

The problem is, in order to fuse with the Human Emperor's heart, he went all in.

The current killing intent value is useless for buying anything, so watching it is pointless.

"We need to accumulate more killing intent points."

Lin Che immediately sent a telepathic message to Mu Liru and Wu Guang, wanting to ask about their situation.

They quickly replied that everything was going smoothly, and the Heavenly Alliance was in complete disarray, with everyone fleeing.

Ji Wuhuan understood Lin Che quite well, and she quickly asked, "Lin Che, you... want to kill someone?"

"Uh... don't make it sound like I'm bloodthirsty. Of course I'd go help in a battle between two armies," Lin Che replied tactfully. Ji Wuhuan was a good person in every way, except that he was too blunt.

Ji Wuhuan had an "I knew it" expression on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation method is very special. I can see that. The more people you kill, the faster your cultivation seems to improve. If you didn't have the righteous energy to protect you, just based on your behavior of hunting down cultivators everywhere with the Myriad Soul Banner in your hand, I would suspect that you are cultivating a demonic cultivation method."

Lin Che immediately corrected him: "That's the Human Emperor's Flag! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! I am a righteous person!"

Ji Wuhuan seemed unwilling to argue about this, and simply said, "Alright! I know where there are cultivators waiting for you to kill, but I'm afraid you won't dare—originally, our Tianyu Clan's attack on the Heavenly Dao Alliance was going smoothly. But just as we were about to capture their Musang City, the Heavenly Dao Alliance released prisoners; while we were fighting those prisoners, a guard of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor pressed up from behind..."

Lin Che raised an eyebrow: "So, the Demon Emperor's side has joined the war. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"They didn't participate in the battle. They didn't really attack our Tianyu Clan, but they pressed in to within a dozen miles of our rear, leaving us attacked from both sides and forcing us to break our formation. This gave the Heavenly Dao Alliance an opportunity. In the end, our Tianyu Clan was scattered, and the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor's guards just watched from afar without pursuing us..."

"Hmph! Is this all the Demon King has to offer? How disgusting!"

Lin Che couldn't help but curse. It didn't seem like they were really attacking the Tianyu Clan, but the army was pressing in, which was a provocation and a declaration of war.

Knowing full well that the Tianyu Clan and the Tiandao Alliance were engaged in a great war, the Wan Yao Emperor had already deployed a large army within a radius of several miles.

On the surface, it is indeed true that no action was taken.

But it was absolutely disgusting.

The Demon Emperor, relying on his status as the ruler of the Demon Clan, can act tyrannically and even act as a referee. He will publicly claim that he did not take action against the Heavenly Feather Clan.

No wonder Ji Wuhuan sounds so aggrieved when he talks about it now.

"Wuhuan! There's nothing to say, let's get him!"

Lin Che grabbed the Human Emperor's Banner with one hand and shouted, "The Heavenly Feather Clan is my ally. The Demon Emperor's audacity in attacking you is a slap in my face. I will make him pay in blood! Lead the way!!"

Crash!

The Emperor's Banner suddenly unfurled in mid-air, ready to begin teleportation at any moment.

Ji Wuhuan had been suppressing her emotions, but now, seeing Lin Che's help, her eyes reddened. She had risked her entire family to help Lin Che conquer the world, and thankfully, Lin Che hadn't abandoned her.

Ji Wuhuan glanced at the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" that Lin Che had opened, and pointed to the nearest place: "It's not far from here."

"Get ready—we're going! Let's go kill some people!"

Crash!

With a wave of the Emperor's Banner, they were all taken away.

It's unclear whether Lin Che was lucky or the Demon King's guards were unlucky. After Lin Che teleported down, his spiritual sense swept out and immediately discovered an army of 400,000 cultivators.

Judging from their appearance, they must have retreated from a distance and set up camp here.

Among the ships were numerous airships, as well as various enormous flying swords and magical artifacts. What stood out most was a unique stone tablet among them.

"Is it them?"

Lin Che pointed ahead and asked Ji Wuhuan.

Ji Wuhuan's spiritual sense range was not as large as Lin Che's, so she couldn't clearly see the army of cultivators in the distance. However, following the direction Lin Che pointed, she could indeed vaguely see a beam of light shooting into the sky. It was the light emitted by a group of powerful individuals gathered together, making no attempt to conceal their aura.

"Maybe. I didn't see it very clearly at the time."

"You don't need to look closely, as long as they are the guards of the Demon King, that's fine!"

Lin Che had long wanted to wage war against the Demon Emperor. Strategically, he wanted to unify the Demon Clan, and the Demon Emperor had to die. From a hatred standpoint, the Demon Emperor had lent a powerful weapon to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, almost attracting the first Demon Emperor of the past—this was the beginning of war.

I'm going now!

brush!

Lin Che no longer brought the three of them along. Although they were also powerful fighters, he still wanted to take action himself for the sake of killing intent points.

With just three teleportations, Lin Che appeared in front of that army of cultivators.

With a loud bang, the defensive array that the cultivator army had set up around them was crushed by Lin Che, causing a great commotion.

Many cultivators stepped out of the spaceship and looked around warily.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—quickly deploy!"

"Wasn't this an enemy attack? Why is there only one cultivator?"

"You scared me half to death! I was still taking my pills. I didn't expect some idiot to barge in. Hmph, what are your outposts doing? Letting a human cultivator in? Kill him on sight!"

Many cultivators breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Lin Che was alone. Although they were guards of the Demon Emperor, the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance Holy Land was currently embroiled in a major battle, and they did not want to be dragged into the battlefield so soon.

Since there's only one human cultivator, just kill him.

Moreover, their cultivation levels were not low, and many of their spiritual senses landed on Lin Che. They could instantly tell that Lin Che was a human cultivator whose cultivation level was not discernible.

There's only one reason why his cultivation level is undetectable: he simply doesn't possess any cultivation at all. The reason Lin Che can currently levitate is likely due to the use of some kind of magical artifact.

"Human brat, you shouldn't have come here! Who sent you?" Before making their move, these cultivators asked one more question, just in case the other party really had something to say. Was he delivering some special intelligence?

Lin Che glanced at them, then looked finally at the iconic stone tablet and asked:

"You are the guards of the Demon King, am I mistaken?"
