Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 844 - 831: Netherworld Sect Master

After Shi Feng finished speaking to Luo Qingchuan, he then ignored the hesitant expression on Luo Qingchuan’s face, turned around, and started walking forward.

Shi Feng walked a certain distance and discovered that Luo Qingchuan was still dazedly standing there, not following. He turned around, shaped his right hand into a claw, and pulled backward.

Instantly, Luo Qingchuan felt a strong force pulling at him, jolting his heart as he smiled wryly: "It seems this master is real."

On the Naihe Bridge, even when seeing violent and fierce energies attacking oneself, it’s all an illusion; the physical body won’t feel a thing.

But this pull from Shi Feng swiftly drew him over, and Luo Qingchuan knew that this was the true master.

Sucked over, Luo Qingchuan softly landed in front of Shi Feng, gazing at Shi Feng, who appeared just as he was before, and he secretly exhaled a breath he had been holding, allowing his previously tense nerves to thoroughly relax.

"Earlier on the Naihe Bridge, did you see the master?" Shi Feng asked Luo Qingchuan with a faint smile.

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan grinned and said, "Not only did I see the master, but I also saw you getting killed twice! I almost intervened."

"Let’s go!" Shi Feng turned around, taking steps forward, continuing to walk onwards. Ahead, the land remained dimly lit, densely packed with ghost-like yellow flames fluttering in the sky.

Luo Qingchuan followed up beside Shi Feng, who said: "It’s good you didn’t intervene to save the master, otherwise you’d never have made it over."

"Master, is there some presence in this Netherworld and Naihe Bridge? You seem to fear them? And it managed to create such convincing illusions."

Luo Qingchuan voiced this doubt that lingered in his heart to Shi Feng.

"In this Netherworld, an ancient powerful entity called the Netherworld Sect Master resides! Once you step on the Netherworld Road and cross the Naihe Bridge, you’ll see illusions. If you are seduced by these illusions, it will trigger the Netherworld Sect Master," Shi Feng explained.

"Netherworld Sect Master?" Luo Qingchuan murmured, digesting the unfamiliar title, and then asked: "How powerful is this Netherworld Sect Master! Even back then, Senior Brother almost met his demise?"

"Very powerful!" Shi Feng affirmed: "Back then, Lingg Yefeng provoked the Netherworld Sect Master, forcing me to negotiate, agreeing to his conditions, only then did the Netherworld Sect Master relent. And now, if you trigger him, even I lack the bargaining leverage!"

"Even back then master needed to negotiate! And accept his conditions!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan was greatly shocked. His master back then was the foremost power under this heaven!

Yet back then, he had to negotiate terms with the Netherworld Sect Master. How mighty has this Netherworld Sect Master become?

Thinking of these, recalling his experience on the Naihe Bridge, Luo Qingchuan still felt a lingering fear. If at that moment, he had indeed been deluded by the illusion and taken action to invoke the Netherworld Sect Master... then he...

He would truly find himself utterly doomed, just as his master foretold.

"This Netherworld Sect Master is stronger than the master in those days." Shi Feng truthfully admitted to Luo Qingchuan, adding: "Although this guy, it seems in ancient times, made some pact with others, and cannot freely leave this Netherworld, so many on Tianheng Continent are unaware of his existence.

What lies beneath this Netherworld, what kind of world it is, frankly, I have always been curious and wanted to go down to explore. However, because of the existence of the Netherworld Sect Master, I never acted rashly.

Tianheng Continent is vast, truly vast. What we know and see is merely a corner, there are many regions, many powerful entities, unknown to us."

After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan nodded his head.

Just like this universe, and the Netherworld Purgatory he’s yet to venture to, people know not where they lie. Surely, there are other secret realms.

Following this thought, Luo Qingchuan ceased pondering those matters. Such secret realms can only be explored when one has gained strength. Otherwise, like this Netherworld, entering recklessly would only lead to a dead end.

"Master, how much farther until Netherworld Purgatory?"

Upon hearing Luo Qingchuan’s inquiry, Shi Feng looked forward intently. Although the vision was obscured by the flowing yellow flames, it felt as though he could perceive through them and said: "We’re almost there!"

Besides, Shi Feng faintly murmured, "Away for so long, what does Netherworld Purgatory look like now? Those eight fellows, without me, these years they must have been quite restless."

The eight fellows Shi Feng referred to, were naturally the Eight Ghost Generals under his command.

Their loyalty wouldn’t be in question, yet upon his demise, their placid behavior seemed unlikely.

Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan continued their steps through this dim world, piercing through the dense yellow ghost fires.

Gradually, Luo Qingchuan noticed that as they ventured further forward, the swirling yellow flames were diminishing, while a chill and cold aura began emanating from ahead.

These auras were released by the Dead Souls. Upon sensing them, Luo Qingchuan knew that the legendary Netherworld Purgatory was not far from them now.

The Yin Qi grew exceedingly rich, as if ready to freeze the space within this realm, and upon arriving at this region, those swirling yellow flames ceased to appear.

Shortly thereafter, Luo Qingchuan lifted his gaze, observed a massive black vortex within the void, slowly rotating, and the dense Yin Qi he sensed was precisely emanating from that vast black vortex.

"That is Netherworld Purgatory!" gazing at the gigantic black vortex, Luo Qingchuan exclaims.

"Correct!" Upon hearing Luo Qingchuan’s exclamation, Shi Feng nodded and said, "This black vortex is the entrance to the Netherworld Purgatory, entering it will lead to the territory master once held, Netherworld Purgatory!"

Shi Feng fixed his gaze on the black vortex above, speaking to Luo Qingchuan, then his expression turned cold, "However, it seems some aren’t welcoming master’s return home!"

"Hm?" Hearing Shi Feng’s remark, Luo Qingchuan furrowed his brows, his own expression turning cold.

"Hehehe! Have you been discovered by us? It seems you are indeed Yueming reborn! Upon learning of your return to Tianheng Continent, we have been waiting here for quite some time, Netherworld!" At that moment, a laughter rang out in the void!
