Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1616 - 1601: The Elusive Yinz-Like Strange Sound

"What's wrong, you look preoccupied?"

Hearing Shi Feng's words, the young girl Shan Shan seemed to come back from her reverie, gently shook her head, and said, "No, nothing."

"Oh? Really?" Shi Feng said.

But looking at her, she didn't seem like it was "nothing."

Following this, Shi Feng noticed Shan Shan looking at him with the appearance of wanting to say something but hesitating.

Shi Feng smiled and said, "We've known each other for so long, just say whatever you want to say to me."

"I'm just worried," Shan Shan said softly in a voice only the two of them could hear. "You're not from the Southern Territory, so you don't understand how terrifying the Red Sun Sect is!"

"Red Sun Sect, very frightening?" Hearing Shan Shan's words, Shi Feng still looked indifferent.

On the Tianheng Continent now, is there a force more terrifying than his Netherworld Purgatory?

Shi Feng didn't believe it.

"Don't you dare dismiss it, I'm not trying to scare you!" At this moment, Shan Shan spoke again in a deep voice: "It's rumored that the Red Sun Sect Master Chi Hun has reached the Martial Arts Cultivation level of Divine Transformation! And there are even rumors that the Red Sun Sect is related to the Ling Family!"

"Ling Family." Hearing these words, Shi Feng's expression slightly shifted.

Seeing Shi Feng like this, Shan Shan's expression turned more serious as she slowly nodded and said, "That's right! The Ling Family of the Southern Territory! In the Southern Territory, there's only one Ling Family! Their lineage originated from the ancient Spirit Martial Emperor!"

At this moment, Shi Feng sneered and repeated the two words, "Ling Family."

Seeing Shi Feng like this, Shan Shan's face remained serious as she said to him, "I'm not lying to you, it's rumored that the Red Sun Sect's backing is that Ling Family!"

Shi Feng looked dismissive and said, "Seems like your information is outdated. Don't you know, the Ling Family is already a thing of the past now!"

"The Ling Family became a thing of the past? You're... joking." Hearing Shi Feng's words, Shan Shan was full of disbelief.

To her, the Ling Family was a supreme force that looked down upon the world. Who could possibly have the power to render the Ling Family obsolete?

At this moment, Shi Feng just smiled and didn't say much more.

He didn't tell her that the Ling Family, which seemed as immovable as a mountain in her heart, had become history because they offended him.

With that, the group continued onward, delving deeper into the perilous Death Forbidden Land.

Even though there were expendable pawns ahead, Shi Feng wasn't going to lower his guard. Meanwhile, Ruo Qingxuan of the Red Sun Sect kept studying the Heavenly Star Compass intently while walking.

Whenever the Heavenly Star Compass stirred, Ruo Qingxuan would immediately signal the four ahead to halt and then consult Shi Feng on changing directions.

Gradually, Shi Feng also became intrigued by the compass in Ruo Qingxuan's hand, which seemed capable of detecting danger.

Once, Shi Feng's Soul Power had just sensed an ancient Fierce Formation ahead when the compass in Ruo Qingxuan's hand picked it up too, allowing them to navigate around it.

Another time, following the compass's direction, they had just barely veered off course when they heard piercing cries of suffering echo from far behind them. The sound was extremely unsettling.

However, that unsettling sound eventually faded, not closing in on Shi Feng and his group.

As they journeyed deeper, Shi Feng based on memory and the path taken, should have already crossed the mysterious Black River, "Death Black River."

Supposedly, there should be two peaks ahead, but instead, there was an endless stretch of ruins.

It seemed like this ruinous path had no end.

Moreover, their eyes were constantly on the ground and what's around them, yet, aside from the vast ruins, they hadn't discovered any treasures.

"Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh heh! Heh heh! Heh heh!" Just then, Shi Feng's group faintly heard eerie, chilling laughter drifting from somewhere ahead.

If they listened carefully, the sinister laughter suddenly vanished.

"This... "

"This... "

Upon hearing the strange laughter, everyone immediately halted their steps.

Members of the Red Sun Sect immediately turned their eyes to the compass in Ruo Qingxuan's hands, and their faces shifted dramatically.

At this moment, the pointer on Ruo Qingxuan's compass was wildly spinning once again, more frantically than before when it pointed at Shi Feng.

Not only the pointer, but even the mysterious Heavenly Star Compass was trembling violently in Ruo Qingxuan's hands, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Hiss!" Staring at the compass, Ruo Qingxuan gasped deeply; it was the first time he'd seen his Heavenly Star Compass react like this!

Ahead, what kind of perilous land could it be! It's unimaginable!

"We can't advance further!" At this moment, Ruo Qingxuan turned to Shi Feng behind him and spoke solemnly.

Now, each Red Sun Sect member also turned, focusing their gaze on Shi Feng, awaiting his response.

Seeing Shi Feng silent, Ruo Qingxuan added, "If we go any further, we'll all die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die," echoed through the eerie atmosphere, reverberating in everyone's hearts.

The members of the Red Sun Sect immediately felt the air turn even colder as gusts from that "perilous land" swept over, causing several to shiver involuntarily.

"Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh heh!" Following this, the eerie, unsettling laughter timed its return to their ears.

"This... we can't go any further ahead!" The young woman who had been leading at the front of the Red Sun Sect shivered as she spoke.

Right now, with others, glancing towards Shi Feng's direction, an expansive emptiness lay behind her. She had the persistent feeling that eyes were watching her from within the thick mist behind them.

She frequently turned to look back, her delicate body moving slowly forward, drawing closer to her Uncle Master.

"Do you still want to proceed further?" Shi Feng dismissed the Red Sun Sect people ahead and turned to question Shan Shan beside him.

"Me?" Surprised by Shi Feng's inquiry, Shan Shan hadn't expected that someone as powerful as him would seek her opinion.

Amidst it all, memories floated in her mind, and slowly, her surprised expression turned resolute.
