Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 797 - 785 Jungle City

Western Region, the black night sky.

After Shi Feng had slain Yang Zhong, he turned his head and looked towards Shi Feng, Luo Qingchuan, and Zi Ya not far away. Then, with a flash of his figure, he dashed toward the two, and quickly arrived in front of them.

Seeing Shi Feng return victorious, Luo Qingchuan spoke to Shi Feng, "Young Master Feng, we currently do not know which part of the Western Region we have arrived in. How about we split up and search? You can take this girl and fly through space to look for a city. Meanwhile, I will search in the opposite direction. If either of us finds something, we’ll send out a signal immediately."

"Hmm! Let’s do that!" Shi Feng nodded in response.

Having arrived in the vast and boundless Western Region through the Space Cross-Domain Transmission Array of Sunset City, it was now imperative to determine their exact location and then rush to Ten Thousand Swords Manor.

Next, Luo Qingchuan’s figure moved, shooting past behind Shi Feng. Soon, only Shi Feng and Zi Ya were left in the night sky.

"Let’s go too!" Shi Feng said.

"Hmm!" Zi Ya nodded lightly.

Following that, the figures of the two of them moved, soaring into the vast, boundless night sky ahead.

...

In an obscure and unknown land shrouded in dimness, a deep voice rang out, uttering just four words: "Yang Zhong is dead!"

"What!"

"What!"

"What!"

After those four words echoed, a series of exclamation sounds arose from the dim unknown land. Although not a single person was seen, the multitude of voices indicated that there were dozens of people present.

"To my knowledge, Yang Zhong was a formidable person who had slain a Four-star Martial Emperor, and his target this time was merely a sixteen-year-old youth!"

"A sixteen-year-old youth actually killed Yang Zhong, of the Nine Nether Lineage! The inheritor of Emperor Nine Nether is monstrous indeed! It seems we have underestimated him."

It was at this moment another deep, ice-cold voice followed, "This person has killed two assassins of our Hell. He must die! We can’t keep toying with him; send out a Heavenly Rank Assassin!"

After this voice spoke, the dim place became silent once more, so quiet that it was as if no one was present.

Then, that deep, ice-cold voice spoke again: "Contact the employer, tell them to increase the payment, as per the rate for Heavenly Rank Assassins. If they cannot afford it, then follow our usual rules. Payment can be made with the women of his family, or his and his family members’ limbs, organs, or lives.

A kill order once issued must not cease until the target is dead—such is the rule of our Hell."

"Yes!" An elderly, respectful voice responded.

...

Shi Feng and Zi Ya flew all night until the sky began to show the first light of dawn. Then Zi Ya pointed toward the land in the distance, "Brother Shi Feng, look."

In the midst of the land lay lush greenery, and within the center of a forest, stood a city.

"Go!" With a low shout from Shi Feng, he and Zi Ya dove toward the city, while Shi Feng broke a piece of the Jade Scroll in his hand, sending out a signal to Luo Qingchuan!

"Snap! Snap!" With two light sounds, Shi Feng and Zi Ya landed together at the city gate. It was still early morning, so there were not many people at the city gate. However, a troop of guards garbed in green Battle Armor stood proudly on both sides of the city.

Shi Feng paid the entry fee to the city guards and inquired about the name of the city, which was called Jungle City. Then, the two of them entered the city.

In the morning, street vendors had already set up their stalls along the streets. The vendors, having arranged their wares, appeared relaxed as they chatted with the people nearby. Since it was still early, the streets were deserted and quiet.

However, Zi Ya’s purple snake tail immediately attracted the attention of the vendors, as strange looks were cast towards the Snake-man Clan Girl. They whispered to each other, discussing in low voices.

Walking down the street, Shi Feng had already noticed these strange looks, but seeing the innocent Zi Ya beside him seemingly unaware, he chose to ignore it.

Shortly after, Shi Feng led Zi Ya into an inn named Green Forest, waiting for Luo Qingchuan to arrive.

The inn was quiet, without a single customer. Following the waiter to a secluded corner, Shi Feng and Zi Ya took a seat.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked.

"We’ll have some light breakfast," Shi Feng replied.

"Alrighty! Please wait a moment," the waiter said, glanced briefly at the purple snake tail beneath Zi Ya, then averted his gaze and went down to notify the kitchen.

By the time the waiter reappeared at the counter, Shi Feng called out again, "Waiter, come here a moment."

"Coming!" The waiter responded and jogged over, approaching the table where Shi Feng and Zi Ya were sitting, and nodded, "Yes, sir?"

"I want to ask you something. Do you know how far this Jungle City is from Ten Thousand Swords Manor?" Shi Feng inquired.

"Ten Thousand Swords Manor!" Upon hearing these four words, a shocked expression immediately spread across the waiter’s face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Hmm?" Shi Feng quickly noticed the change in the waiter’s expression and asked urgently, "What’s wrong, is there a problem with Ten Thousand Swords Manor?"

"Ten Thousand Swords Manor. These days, those four words are much talked about here! May I ask, gentlemen, are you referring to the Ten Thousand Swords Manor where Yi Meng, the Disciple of the Great Emperor Nine Nether and Manor Master, resides?" the waiter asked further.

"Indeed, that’s the one!" Shi Feng replied. Hearing the surprise on the waiter’s face, as well as his remarks, Shi Feng felt a bad premonition and his brows furrowed, pressing for an answer:

"Speak quickly, what rumors have you heard about Ten Thousand Swords Manor!"

Hearing the impatience in Shi Feng’s voice, the waiter stopped beating around the bush and hurriedly recounted:

"There’s been a major incident at Ten Thousand Swords Manor these past few days! Rumor has it that just three days ago, black demonic clouds churned in the sky over Ten Thousand Swords Manor, as countless demons descended upon it, engaging in an unprecedented battle against the Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords!

The outcome is now clearly evidenced by the ruins of Ten Thousand Swords Manor. The manor has been destroyed by the demons and turned into ruins. Above the ruins lie countless corpses of the Human Clan and demons! Alas! People say it was a sight too gruesome to behold!" The waiter concluded with a shake of his head and a mournful sigh.

"What! Ten Thousand Swords Manor has been slaughtered!" At the waiter’s words, Shi Feng let out a cold shout. With a "snap," the wooden table in front of him burst apart under the invisible force emanating from his body.

Subsequently, a cold, murderous aura rose about Shi Feng.

"Ah!" Feeling the invisible pressure from Shi Feng, the waiter let out a scream as his legs began to tremble and shake.

"Brother Shi Feng!" Zi Ya called softly to Shi Feng in front of her, and even she trembled involuntarily, finding it difficult to breathe under the pressure emanating from Shi Feng.
