Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 831 - 818 Always Unable to Keep a Low Profile
Xuanyuan Changyun, riding the descendant of the Ancient Divine Beast Qilin, wields the Ninth Grade Emperor Level Divine Artifact, the Xuanyuan Halberd!
As he gazed at the roaring Golden Qilin, Xuanyuan Changyun’s figure moved, flying forward. His right hand extended out, and the Xuanyuan Halberd, which had been carried into the grand hall by fifteen golden-armored soldiers, immediately shot into Xuanyuan Changyun’s hand.
The Golden Qilin’s four hooves moved, flying towards the sky, heading for its master Xuanyuan Changyun, and soon arrived beneath Xuanyuan Changyun, turning its golden body backward.
Xuanyuan Changyun’s feet gracefully landed, just right on the back of the Golden Qilin.
"Roar! Roar! Roar roar roar!" Having been Xuanyuan Changyun’s mount for many years, upon approaching Xuanyuan Changyun, the Golden Qilin felt its master’s killing intent and anger and roared furiously once again in the grand hall.
"Go! Follow me to execute the traitors!" Xuanyuan Changyun shouted in a deep voice at the furious Golden Qilin beneath him.
"Roar!" The Golden Qilin let out another roar, its four hooves rapidly galloping, and swiftly rushed out of the grand hall.
The civil and military officials in the hall watched the instant departure of Xuanyuan Changyun’s figure. The hall fell into silence, and once again, the civil and military officials began whispering and discussing.
The strategist Zhuge Xiao, standing at the forefront of the civil officials, gazed at the disappearing doorway where Xuanyuan Changyun had exited, sighed silently: "Alas!"
"Strategist Zhuge? Why did you let out such a sigh? Do you think the master will be defeated by those two traitors?"
Seeing Zhuge Xiao’s sigh, a middle-aged civil official standing beside him showed a puzzled expression and asked.
Zhuge Xiao opened his mouth and slowly said: "With the master’s battle power, plus the Golden Qilin and the Xuanyuan War Halberd, on the surface, there is indeed no suspense about the master executing those traitors."
"Since there is no suspense, then strategist, why did you sigh?" After listening to Zhuge Xiao’s words, the middle-aged civil official’s confusion grew.
"I only spoke of the surface!" Zhuge Xiao said: "Earlier, Great General Yun Jian led an army of three hundred thousand to execute the bandits. On the surface, there was no suspense about the Great General killing two traitors and reclaiming the rebel army. But the result..."
Great General fell, and our three hundred thousand Xuanyuan warriors were completely annihilated! Earlier, we overlooked one thing: those traitors are the inheritors of that person!"
The inheritors of that person!
Upon hearing these six words, the middle-aged civil official naturally knew who the inheritors were, for after Shi Feng used the Nine Nether Escape Light Technique to flee on that day, Xuanyuan Changyun had recognized it and commented saying it was a Nine Nether Ultimate Technique.
"Indeed! Those traitors are the inheritors of that person!" The middle-aged civil official nodded knowingly; that person was once the strongest in this realm.
Back then, even the old City Lord of Xuanyuan City, Xuanyuan Wuming, who was at the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm, died miserably at his venomous hand.
Since then, his fame has continued to circulate under this sky. Even today, though he has perished to this world sixteen years ago, his legend still spreads throughout the Tianheng Continent.
His inheritors have become outstanding strong figures of this era, or peak individuals. Cross-level challenges have become commonplace among his inheritors.
Afterward, the middle-aged official asked Zhuge Xiao again: "Strategist, are you saying that even our master, personally going into battle this time, might face danger?"
"Well, who can know! Who can assert?" Zhuge Xiao shook his head and continued: "But since they are the inheritors of that person, even if the master personally goes to battle this time, we can’t ignore the peril."
"This... this... surely not!" The middle-aged civil official remarked: "Those two, one is in the Five-star Martial Emperor Realm, the other in the Four-star Martial Emperor Realm. Even if they defy the heavens, even if they killed the Great General, they can’t surpass three stars and kill the master!
Moreover, if the strategist felt there wasn’t a guaranteed victory for our master in this expedition, why not speak up earlier and dissuade the master for a longer consideration? Our words may be powerless, but the master values your words the most!"
"Dissuade the master? With me alone?" Zhuge Xiao showed a cold smile and said: "Great General Yun Jian perished, three hundred thousand soldiers fell. Now, who can still stop the master!
And Yun Jian perished because the master listened to my strategy. As a strategist, missing a detail can mean failing in one’s duty. It’s fortunate the master didn’t kill me; how would I dare speak up to obstruct him? It’s absolutely a suicidal path." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The middle-aged civil official gently replied after hearing strategist Zhuge Xiao’s words: "Uh.."
..
Outside Xuanyuan City, in the wild.
Shi Feng stood proudly in the void, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.
Xuanyuan City, in that battle long ago, he had slain the Nine-star Martial Emperor Xuanyuan Wuming. Now resurrected, he hadn’t expected to be executing the grandson of that old man Xuanyuan Wuming.
He indeed shares a deep connection with the Xuanyuan family.
Soon, Shi Feng saw ahead a white figure rapidly flying towards him. The arrival was none other than disciple Luo Qingchuan.
Luo Qingchuan, who had gathered information, reported: "Young Master Feng, that Xuanyuan Changyun has already led the remaining five thousand elite out of Xuanyuan City, quickly coming toward us. At their speed, they should arrive in two hours."
"Good! Very good!" Shi Feng’s mouth curled into a sneer upon hearing Luo Qingchuan’s words: "Xuanyuan Changyun is finally willing to come and die!"
Following this, Shi Feng, with a thought, a bloody glow flashed behind him, as dense black wooden coffins were summoned from the Blood-colored Stone Stele.
These black wooden coffins belonged to Shi Feng, obtained from the Corpse Control Sect. In total, there were 2600; currently, Shi Feng’s 2600 Yin Corpses were lying inside them, recuperating.
Yesterday, in the battle against Xuanyuan City’s Great General Yun Jian, Shi Feng laid down the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses, completely channeling its power into the Silver Sickle. The power of these 2600 Yin Corpses was drained, and now they lay inside recovering.
However, Shi Feng had earlier noticed that his Dark Corpse Army lying inside the black wooden coffins recovered at a rate double that of the outside world, and each Yin Corpse had deliberately received an infusion of "Death Ancient Script" in their minds from him.
In half an hour more, their strength would fully recover, allowing them to crawl out of the coffins.
Otherwise, without the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses, Shi Feng would truly not wish to clash with Xuanyuan Changyun now.
Then, with a flash of silver light, the Silver Sickle also appeared in Shi Feng’s hand, as he prepared for the confrontation.
Xuanyuan Changyun, the Eight-star Martial Emperor, also rumored to possess an Undying Body!
In this battle with Xuanyuan Changyun, despite Shi Feng’s confidence, he dare not be careless.
Luo Qingchuan stood by Shi Feng, defiantly staring at the void ahead together, and smiled, "When you, Young Master Feng, eventually slay Xuanyuan Changyun, I predict your name will once again reverberate across the world."
Upon hearing Luo Qingchuan’s words, Shi Feng sneered: "This young master, upon resurrection, initially aimed to quietly return to the power of my peak days, yet did not expect some people’s existence wouldn’t allow me to remain low-key."
