Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1703: 1667: Emperor of Fengdu
Capítulo 1703: Chapter 1667: Emperor of Fengdu
Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion.
This is the residence of the rumored master of Fengdu City, the Emperor of Fengdu.
The enormous mansion is grand and domineering.
Amidst this entirely pitch-black city, the crimson Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion stands out exceptionally mysteriously.
Dong dong dong!
The sound of war drums echoed across Fengdu City’s sky.
Only to see that the sound of drums and music abruptly stopped.
The warriors, mounted on tall horses and clad in armor despite their physical impairments, dismounted, each with a cold and solemn expression on their faces.
They stood quietly in front of the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion.
Clang clang clang!
One by one, figures knelt on one knee.
Even the warhorses bent their forelegs, bowing to the ground.
In mid-air.
Flags fluttered noisily, the sound resonating through the nine heavens.
“Welcome, Great Emperor!”
“Welcome, Great Emperor…”
Emotionless chants echoed intermittently.
Xiao Yi noticed the figures beneath the black cloaks also knelt on one knee like those warriors.
He glanced at Langya and the other companion.
The three of them followed suit.
Inconspicuously approaching two other figures similarly wrapped in black cloaks beside them.
Those two, seeing Xiao Yi and the others drawing near, instinctively tensed up, warily watching the trio. In this eerie place, the danger of falling to one’s death lurked at any moment, so they had to be cautious.
The leader among them transmitted a message, “Stop there, strangers!”
“Brother, this place is extremely dangerous. My two brothers and I just want to recruit some help, so we have a better chance of surviving in this perilous situation…” Xiao Yi transmitted back.
The pair exchanged a glance upon hearing these words.
No longer as guarded as before, yet not completely trusting of Xiao Yi and his companions.
They continued to maintain some distance from Xiao Yi and his group.
Seeing that tensions between the groups had eased, Xiao Yi secretly sighed in relief and then asked, “Brother, we’re rather late here, and unaware of the situation in Fengdu City. May I ask what we’re waiting for in front of the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion?”
“You don’t know?” the leader asked, astonished.
Apparently, to him…
It seemed unbelievable that Xiao Yi and the others were unaware of why they followed during the Night of the Hundred Ghosts to the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion.
Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat, wondering: Is this common knowledge?
However, he didn’t hesitate, only pretending to be helpless and bitter: “To be honest, I’ve never been valued in my family. I’m here just to serve as cannon fodder. But I’m not resigned, born as human like the others, why should they get all the best resources while we are used as cannon fodder?”
This immediately resonated with the pair: “You’re right, being born human, why should people receive hundreds or thousands of times more resources just because of a slightly better birth…”
“That’s why people like us should stick together!” Xiao Yi took the opportunity to say.
“You’re right!”
The leader nodded and then introduced himself. Both of them were from the Blissful Heaven Realm, belonging to the second-rate Zeng Family, tasked by their family to assist the direct heir, Zeng Fan, in vying for the treasured artifact.
But during the Endless Blue Sea, they got separated.
Only the two of them made it to Fengdu City.
Zeng Sheng said, “The Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion only opens at night, and you must follow the group during the Night of the Hundred Ghosts. Otherwise, us living beings can’t find it, even if we remember the route; walking it alone again won’t lead us to the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion!”
Xiao Yi and his companions exchanged glances, feeling astonished.
For anyone getting here, nearly none are below the peak Saint King level.
Yet…
This terrifyingly powerful group can’t find the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion unless following the Night of the Hundred Ghosts.
This emperor’s mansion indeed is full of eeriness.
To know that those arriving are at the peak Saint King level, even supreme talents from the Life Heaven Realm and Blissful Heaven Realm at the Ultimate Holy King level.
Even with so many talents unable to find the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion, Xiao Yi found it incredulous.
Langya asked, “Brother Zeng, why are we here?”
Zeng Sheng looked at Xiao Yi and his companions with sympathy and said, “It seems you’re not valued in your families, not knowing even the basics. Let me tell you, to obtain the ultimate inheritance of the Life Saint Emperor, you must traverse the deepest part of the Eighteen Layers of Hell. It is ominous, even a Saint Emperor would fall trespassing; only with the Emperor’s Order from the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion can one enter. We are here to acquire the Emperor’s Order…”
Xiao Yi and his companions exchanged a glance.
They didn’t realize the ultimate inheritance of this ancient realm lay in the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
Xiao Yi squinted and asked, “Does this mean someone has already entered the Eighteen Layers of Hell?”
“Yes!”
Zeng Qing, eyes filled with admiration, chimed in, “Many supreme Tianjiaao have entered the Eighteen Layers of Hell, especially Lord Wu from our Life Heaven Realm’s Hall of Longevity. He’s said to be in the tenth layer now!”
“Lord Wu is an Ultimate Holy King at the fiftieth realm, reportedly about to break through to the Saint Emperor Boundary!” Zeng Sheng said.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly; the Eighteen Layers of Hell, a total of eighteen, and someone had gotten to the tenth so quickly. Xiao Yi murmured, “Seems I have to speed up too!”
His gaze swept over Lei Peng.
Lei Peng understood, “Brother Zeng, how can we obtain the Emperor’s Order?”
Zeng Sheng pointed ahead at the kneeling knights, who had just arrived on tall steeds, and said, “See them? They’re undead knights with war achievements in Fengdu City. Soon the Emperor of Fengdu will reward them with the Emperor’s Order, and as they leave the city, we can act—once defeated, the Emperor’s Order will drop, then it’s a matter of fighting for it!”
As he said this.
Zeng Qing looked at Xiao Yi’s group, suggesting, “The three of you probably can’t obtain the Emperor’s Order alone, should we join forces?”
Zeng Sheng also added, “My brother’s right; would you join us?”
Willing to speak to Xiao Yi’s group was partly why.
Though they didn’t see Xiao Yi and his companions as very strong, having three peak Saint Kings as allies would aid in obtaining the Emperor’s Order.
As for distributing the Emperor’s Order afterward, they didn’t mention a word.
Xiao Yi was about to respond.
Then suddenly…
A terrifyingly intense energy pressure swept across the field.
Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned toward the Emperor of Fengdu’s Mansion; all knew the supreme being who governs the Netherworld, the Emperor of Fengdu, had appeared…
