Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 837 - 824: The Refugees

"Clang!" Shi Feng’s left hand flicked his fingers again, striking the Bloodthirsty Sword, which once more emitted a resonant sword cry.

"Roar!" The Sword Spirit Blood Yin Beast, which had evolved into an adult Emperor Level Ninth-stage, roared angrily once more after the sword cry sounded, revealing two rows of sharp, menacing fangs like daggers.

Following this, the massive blood-colored shadow that had appeared above Shi Feng began to gradually dissipate like a blood mist, returning to the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Shi Feng stared at the Bloodthirsty Sword and said, "Once we return to Xuanyuan City, I’ll make a trip to the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building. After purchasing the Blood Fiend Set, I should be able to advance to the Ninth Grade Emperor Level!"

After he finished speaking, Shi Feng looked toward Luo Qingchuan and said, "Qingchuan, to Xuanyuan City!"

"Alright!" Luo Qingchuan responded with a nod, storing the Xuanyuan War Halberd into his storage ring.

Subsequently, Shi Feng’s thoughts moved, and the three-headed giant serpent hovering nearby in the void soared towards Shi Feng swiftly. Upon reaching Shi Feng, it flashed with intense blood-colored light and was retracted into the Blood-colored Stone Stele.

"Let’s go!" Shi Feng uttered softly, and along with Luo Qingchuan, they broke through the sky towards Xuanyuan City.

..

Xuanyuan City, an ancient city thousands of years old. It’s rumored to have been built by Ancestor Xuanyuan over ten thousand years ago.

Xuanyuan City served as a foundation for Xuanyuan’s domination over vast lands in the Western Region. Ten thousand years ago, Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan City were renowned.

However, today, Xuanyuan City is in chaos due to the news of Xuanyuan City Lord Xuanyuan Changyun’s assassination, which has reached the city.

Suddenly, panic spreads across Xuanyuan City! Citizens are abuzz with rumors! The sounds of confusion fill the air!

"We should evacuate Xuanyuan City quickly before the demon enters the city! That demon slaughtered our Xuanyuan Warriors, all thirty thousand of them.

This person’s heart is vicious and cruel. If he arrives, he’s sure to massacre the city. Leaving then will be too late!"

"But our roots are in Xuanyuan City! Where can we go if we leave?"

"Where? Anywhere! It’s better than staying here waiting to die, ending up slaughtered by that demon. As long as you live, there’s hope for everything; once dead, there’s nothing!"

..

"I never thought! Truly never thought! Our incredible Eight-star Martial Emperor City Lord fell to vile hands! I’ve trained in Martial Arts since childhood, hoping for a chance to serve Xuanyuan City one day!"

"Brother, what do you plan to do now?"

"Right now, I can only evacuate Xuanyuan City early, wander the world, and hope to fulfill my aspirations! As a Three-star Martial King Realm warrior, I should have a place wherever I go."

"I wish my brother success in the future, may you be conferred and appointed as a general!"

..

"Run! Run quickly! If not, the villain will storm in soon!"

Currently, in Xuanyuan City, the four city gates are wide open. Citizens surge like a tide towards the gates, escaping into the boundless land ahead, facing an unknown future.

Even after Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan arrived in Xuanyuan City, they still saw countless citizens endlessly rushing out of the city.

"Haha, it seems they are aware of Xuanyuan Changyun’s death and fear that we will massacre the city, prompting their escape." Luo Qingchuan said with a smile, watching the fleeing citizens below.

"After all, we have the notorious reputation of slaughtering thirty thousand Xuanyuan Warriors. Their fear of us massacring the city is normal. But how would they know, they’ve never provoked me, why would I kill them?

Those I killed were my enemies. Choosing to be my enemy means accepting the risk of being killed by me.

Let’s disregard them and head straight to the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building."

"Hmm!"

Luo Qingchuan nodded, then, flying into the air above Xuanyuan City with Shi Feng, they descended towards the magnificent Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, landing at its entrance.

The two proceeded inside, entering the hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building.

However, the scene they found this time differed completely from their previous visit. Last time, the hall was bustling with people, but now it was deserted, with only a few present.

It seems the significant events in Xuanyuan City and the ensuing chaos have impacted the business of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building.

"Two guests, may I ask what you need?" A demure-looking maid in the hall approached to greet Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan as if it were any ordinary day.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building had many welcoming maids; the one Su Feng and Luo Qingchuan encountered this time was different from the previous maid.

Shi Feng spoke to the maid, "Last time I saw a set of Blood Fiend Armor here. I’ve come to purchase it now."

"Blood Fiend Armor!" The maid softly muttered these words. Her expression subtly shifted to an apologetic look as she said to Shi Feng, "I’m sorry guests, but the Blood Fiend Armor has been taken off the shelf, would you like to look at other treasures?"

"Off the shelf!" Upon hearing the maid’s words, Shi Feng’s brows furrowed slightly before quickly relaxing; he already knew why the Blood Fiend Set was removed.

It was because last time he had asked two strong Martial Emperors from the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building to remove it.

Then Shi Feng spoke again, "Bring your manager. I need to talk to him."

"Manager? Alright, please wait while I notify our supervisor." The maid nodded politely, then turned and left.

Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan watched the maid’s departing back, soon seeing her approach a counter and stand before a beautiful woman.

"Little Rong, what’s the matter with you?" The beautiful woman opened her mouth to ask as the maid approached.

"Supervisor, the two guests over there said they need you to come over." The maid named Little Rong replied, pointing to Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan’s direction as she spoke.

"Two guests?" Following Little Rong’s gesture, the beautiful woman turned her head, and upon seeing Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan, her body trembled violently. A look of disbelief appeared on her face, and she involuntarily called out, "Li... Lords..."

In an instant, the woman ignored the maid known as Little Rong and hurried toward Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan.

"It’s her!" Shi Feng immediately recognized the woman approaching him as the maid who had served him last time.

It seems the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building indeed did not trouble her! Moreover, judging by her attire, her status had changed since their last meeting.
