Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1536 - 1521: Cold and Desolate

Martial Arts Sky Tower, leads to the Wilderness.

Ziyi and Yud Xin are still in the Wilderness; for their own purposes, both of them, their fate unknown!

Wilderness Continent, Shi Feng will sooner or later return there once more to thoroughly resolve the feud with the Sinister Three Demon Masters.

Therefore, as for this Martial Arts Sky Tower, Shi Feng is determined to obtain it.

Lann Yuan now possesses the Fiery Flame Tripod gifted by Shi Feng, and he naturally knows the importance of this tripod to their Lann Family.

Actually, for the Lann Family, compared to the Martial Arts Sky Tower, the Fiery Flame Tripod is indeed much more useful.

With the Fiery Flame Tripod, their Lann Family's ambition to unify the Eastern Domain will be unquestionable.

Regarding gifting the Martial Arts Sky Tower to Shi Feng, Lann Yuan indeed has no major objections.

The main issue, however, lies with those four stubborn Ancestors, who in their lifetime regard the Martial Arts Sky Tower as exceedingly important.

"I have an important use for the Martial Arts Sky Tower, take me to see those four," Shi Feng said to Lann Yuan and Lann Guang.

"This..." Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, Lann Guang was somewhat hesitant.

Given that this Lord says the Martial Arts Sky Tower is of significant use to him, if those four Ancestors disagree, he is truly worried about what this Lord might do.

However, upon hearing Shi Feng's request, Lann Yuan hesitated slightly, then slowly nodded to Shi Feng: "Hmm!"

Since Lann Yuan agreed, Lann Guang naturally had nothing further to say.

He thought carefully: This Lord, being so calm, probably won't resort to forceful appropriation.

Otherwise, he would have already used his aura to impose. If this Lord truly intends to do anything, who in this world could stop him?

...

Led by Lann Yuan and Lann Guang, they proceeded to the dwelling place of those four elders.

Before long, Shi Feng once again entered the majestic and vast Underground Palace.

Once again, he saw the ten Golden Dragon-shaped pillars arranged in the Nine Dragons encircle the pearl formation, their imposing aura as if ten Golden Dragons were ready to soar to the sky.

Two years ago, when Shi Feng visited this place, there were ten elders sitting atop the ten Golden Dragon pillars, but now, only four were seated, looking somewhat desolate and forlorn.

The eldest of the elders still sat on the most central, tallest, and most imposing Golden Dragon pillar.

Sensing Shi Feng's arrival, the four elders sitting cross-legged on the Golden Dragon pillars slowly opened their eyes and gazed downward at the three.

However, immediately following, their gazes all focused intensely on that young black shadow, and upon seeing Shi Feng once more, the old faces of the four revealed expressions of dread.

They still remembered that day, this Evil Demon became angered at the four of them; the pressure that surged upwards was almost suffocating for them.

Seeing this Evil Demon, gradually, an ominous feeling simultaneously arose in their hearts.

"Greetings to the Ancestors!"

At this moment, Lann Yuan and Lann Guang bowed their heads, bent forward, and respectfully called out to the four elders in unison.

By rights, Shi Feng, now hailed as the Prince Consort of Tianlan Empire, should also pay respects to those four elders.

Yet Shi Feng, stood loftily, unmoving — he, Shi Feng, would never pay respects to others!

Shi Feng didn't pay respect to the four elders, and naturally, these four elders dare not expect such; they were simply thankful the Evil Demon didn't trouble them.

The elder seated in the center opened his mouth to speak to Lann Yuan and Lann Guang: "No need for ceremony!" His voice was old, hoarse, and profound.

Then, the elder continued: "What brings you here?"

The elders knew that these three arriving here must be for some matter.

The Tianlan Imperial City has just been reclaimed, and the Tianlan Empire's territories have yet to be fully stabilized; Lann Yuan, as the Emperor, is undoubtedly at the busiest moment.

Upon hearing the elder's question, Lann Yuan respectfully replied: "Reporting to the Ancestors, Bu Fan has been personally executed by Young Master Feng, the threat removed, our ancestral legacy now thoroughly stable.

This is largely thanks to Young Master Feng's intervention, allowing our Tianlan Empire to be revived; moreover, Young Master Feng bestowed upon me the Divine Artifact Fiery Flame Tripod, which can serve as our Tianlan Empire's Sacred Artifact of State."

As he said this, Lann Yuan's mind suddenly moved, "Dong!" An echo like metal being struck resonated.

Before Lann Yuan, an extremely old-looking three-legged great cauldron appeared, inscribed with ancient and complex patterns.

Then, as Lann Yuan's mind moved again, "Boom!" The three-legged ancient cauldron instantly ignited with blazing flames.

The scorching aura swept across all directions.

Even though these four elders, from Wolong Mountain to the Tianlan Imperial City in recent days, have constantly sensed this supreme Fiery Flame Divine Weapon Fiery Flame Tripod.

Yet at this moment, feeling it again, their expressions changed.

It was clear, if Lann Yuan were to bombard the four with this Fiery Flame Divine Tripod, they wouldn't have any power to withstand it.

"Why did Lann Yuan suddenly offer this Divine Cauldron to us? Does he really intend to use it to destroy us here?"

Throughout successive dynasties, to stabilize imperial power, acts of patricide, fratricide, and the killing of uncles and close relatives are not uncommon; even within their Tianlan Empire, they've occurred frequently.

Especially in battles between brothers and uncles for the Imperial Throne, occur in nearly every generation.

"Could it be that with this Divine Cauldron, Lann Yuan now sees us as a hindrance, truly planning to use it to annihilate us?" thought another elder uneasily.

Once they were ten, the Tianlan Empire's ten Ancestors. Although normally cultivating in isolation here, claiming not to interfere in external affairs.

But when truly significant matters arose, they couldn't resist intervening.

As ten, their power and authority meant even Emperor Lann Yuan had to heed their words. Despite being Emperor of Tianlan Empire, if he did anything they disliked, the ten united could indeed overthrow him.

Yet now, having obtained the Fiery Flame Tripod, Lann Yuan was no longer the same!

Soon, however, the four elders saw Lann Yuan suddenly retract the Fiery Flame Tripod.

With the disappearance of the Fiery Flame Tripod, the unparalleled scorching power vanished, allowing the four elders to let out a slow sigh of relief.

Then, Lann Yuan, raising his head to face the elders above, spoke again: "With this tripod in hand, I, Lann Yuan, am confident in my lifetime to expand territories, unify the Eastern Domain, dominate the world, fulfilling the unfinished will of the ancestors!"

"Expand territories, unify the Eastern Domain, dominate the world, fulfilling the unfinished will of the ancestors!"

"Expand territories, unify the Eastern Domain, dominate the world, fulfilling the unfinished will of the ancestors!"

After Lann Yuan finished speaking, the four elders first murmured his words, followed by bursts of exclamation.

Gradually, the elder who appeared to be as old as possible slowly nodded and said, "Indeed! With this Divine Cauldron, our Tianlan Empire will surely unify the Eastern Domain!"
