Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 889 - 876: Ling Family’s Secret from 8 Years Ago

"Enough!" In the swirling void of clouds and fog, standing at the center between Ling Wei and Ling Xuan, the Ling Family Patriarch, Ling Hun, who had been silent, finally spoke, "You must ensure this wretched creature is well-guarded, not a single mistake can be afforded!"

"Yes, elder brother!"

"Rest assured, elder brother."

Upon hearing Ling Hun’s words, Ling Wei and Ling Xuan promptly replied.

Following this, Ling Hun nodded, and his figure floated gracefully downward.

..

In the Netherworld Purgatory.

"Master really intends to go to that Ling Family?"

Upon returning, Shi Feng informed Lingg Yefeng about his plan to visit the Ling Family.

"Before I regained my memory after being reincarnated, I had a sister who relied on me for survival; we had a deep bond, as close as blood siblings. Later, I found out she was actually a descendant of the Spirit Martial Emperor, an orphan of the Ling Family, so I must go to the Ling Family for a visit to see this sister." Shi Feng said.

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Lingg Yefeng furrowed his brows and then spoke again: "The orphan of the Ling Family? Master, is your sister now eight years old?"

"How do you know?" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shi Feng’s expression shifted, revealing a look of surprise and confusion, and asked, "What do you know about this Ling Family?"

"Back then, in the Central State, I indeed met someone from the Ling Family." Lingg Yefeng said, "Moreover, this person held a special status within the Ling Family. According to him, he came to our Central State to escape, and he even joined our Dark Camp for a while.

This person was in the Eight-star Martial Emperor Realm, named Ling Huai. He originally belonged to the former Family Head Ling Xuan in the Ling Family, but eight years ago, an upheaval occurred in the Ling Family. The Ling Family Great Elder, Ling Hun, led the traitors to rebel, and the original Family Head Ling Xuan’s dantian was shattered by them.

At that time, Ling Xuan had a newly born daughter, and when she was born, the world shifted, presenting mysterious phenomena, rumored to be the legendary Innate Spiritual Body. However, according to Ling Huai, during that upheaval, Ling Xuan’s young daughter suddenly disappeared."

"To think the Ling Family experienced such a change!" Upon hearing Lingg Yefeng’s words, Shi Feng furrowed his brows deeply. Eight years ago, disappearance, Innate Spiritual Body, piecing it together, Shi Feng no longer doubted that the missing daughter of the Ling Family’s former Family Head was indeed his sister, Shi Ling.

But hearing this from Lingg Yefeng, already Shi Feng felt uneasy! With such an identity, his sister Shi Ling returning to the Ling Family, is akin to returning to a den of tigers.

Perhaps... she might have already fallen into the clutches of those treacherous villains.

"Tian Yi! Tian Yi! Come here for a moment!" Suddenly, Shi Feng called out in a deep voice, his voice thunderously echoing through the dim void.

"What is it, Master!" At this moment, a white silhouette emerged from the distant dark void ahead.

Xiao Tian Yi was researching ancient treasures for Shi Feng, but upon hearing Shi Feng’s summons, he hurriedly put down what he was doing and approached Shi Feng at breakneck speed.

As Xiao Tian Yi drew near, Shi Feng saw him holding that Blood-colored Stone Stele in his hand, immediately a thought flickered in Shi Feng’s mind, and a blood-red light flashed before him. When the light dissipated, it revealed a disheveled and dejected figure, it was Ling Sang, a peerless nine-star Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse from the Ling Family.

Shi Feng called Xiao Tian Yi over to use that Blood Stone Stele to release the imprisoned Ling Sang for questioning.

As soon as Ling Sang appeared, Shi Feng’s right hand shaped into a claw and fiercely pulled him over; holding his throat firmly, he coldly stated, "Speak! The daughter of the former Family Head, Ling Xuan, whom your Ling Family took back this year, how is she now!"

"Ling Xuan’s daughter!" The scattered and seemingly powerless Ling Sang, upon hearing Shi Feng’s question, his expression slightly changed. He slowly lifted his head to look at Shi Feng, who held him with firm grips.

Shi Feng’s eyes were filled with cold light, seeing Ling Sang not answering, his grip on Ling Sang’s throat tightened, his long fingernails piercing directly into Ling Sang’s throat, again speaking coldly:

"I am questioning you. Speak quickly! Otherwise, I will surely let you experience the world’s most painful punishments!"

"Haha! Hahahahaha!" Five fingers pierced through the throat, yet Ling Sang seemed unaffected, issuing a madman’s laughter, and said, "Netherworld, I suggest you release me. Otherwise, my Ling Family will never let you go!

My Ling Family’s foundation is beyond what you people can imagine. Any so-called strongest in the world is nothing in the eyes of my Ling Family!"

"Humph!" Hearing Ling Sang’s words, Shi Feng let out a cold snort, then grabbing Ling Sang by the throat, Shi Feng moved swiftly, breaking through the void at high speed.

Rapidly traversing the dark void, Shi Feng brought Ling Sang to another dark void, immediately below came waves of miserable and agonizing howls.

"If you don’t want to endure this fate eternally, answer every question I ask!" Shi Feng tugged at Ling Sang’s hair, making him look below at the boundless Blood River.

In the Blood River, countless ferocious Yin Souls waved claws and fangs, surging like a tide, while a formidable pressure emanated from Shi Feng’s body, enveloping downward.

The myriad of densely packed and surging Yin Souls emitted horrifying sounds, then rapidly dispersed in all directions, revealing the scene of the Blood River to Ling Sang’s sight.

Four frail lone souls, flickering in and out of sight in the Blood River. Though in Yin Soul form, they were heavily damaged, covered in bite marks and claw wounds, utterly unrecognizable.

But, Ling Sang recognized three of them; he had seen these three people in the Bright Temple, and later they had gone together to Sky Demon Mountain to intercept Netherworld.

"Life Emperor Mo Fanchen! Emperor of Destiny Wu Qianxuan! Thunder God Emperor, Ao Laixing!"

"Though they are dead, they are doomed to eternally endure the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bite in this Blood River, never to be reincarnated! Surely the pain of Ten Thousand Ghosts Bite is something you’ve never experienced. Now, I will let you try it!"

Shi Feng coldly said once more, and just as Ling Sang was about to speak, Shi Feng didn’t give him the chance. His right hand once more turned into a claw, fiercely sucking at Ling Sang’s Heavenly Spirit, instantly extracting Ling Sang’s soul.

"Netherworld! What are you doing! What do you want to do! What have you done to me!" A terrified cry emanated from Ling Sang’s soul.

His soul saw his own now body, still clutched in Shi Feng’s hand, and he felt himself floating weakly.

"Go!" With a low shout, Shi Feng sent Ling Sang’s soul drifting downwards.

Next, Ling Sang terrifiedly saw, to his front, left, and right, countless malicious evil spirits, with claws and fangs, coming at him in a fierce rush!

Their hideous and savage forms seemed ready to devour him, to tear him apart!
