Chapter 2377: Chapter 2366: You Dare Call Yourselves Sovereigns?

As soon as the ancestor of the Zhous, Zhou Niantian, spoke.

The cultivators who had come to attend the Zhous’ feast paled. With Zhou Niantian and Zhou Wufeng standing at the entrance of the True Dragon Hall, there was no way for them to escape from it. They definitely didn’t want to be devoured by these ghastly beings from the Zhous.

"Zhou Niantian, what exactly do the Zhous intend? You’ve practiced such evil cultivation techniques, why not turn back before it’s too late? Do you wish to become the enemy of the entire Ancient Realm?"

"We all came here to attend your family’s feast today; is this how you treat your guests? As long as you let me leave, I promise I won’t tell anyone about what I’ve seen today."

...

Facing the questions of the remaining cultivators, the rotting faces of Zhou Niantian and Zhou Wufeng twisted with ferocity, and Zhou Wufeng said, "Only dead men won’t reveal what happened here today."

As they spoke.

Zhou Niantian and Zhou Wufeng, both Half-step Divine Venerables, initiated their attack on the cultivators within the True Dragon Hall. With a single gesture, they could tear a cultivator apart and then frantically devour the torn body.

Ye Chenfeng was surrounded by three revived Zhous cultivators of Initial Stage Divine King Realm. This was Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing’s instruction; they wanted to save Ye Chenfeng for last, to let him taste the agony of awaiting death.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old Steward were not attacked. This was also as Zhou Tianlu and Zhou Hongjing instructed; the current situation of the Zhous was entirely triggered by the Chengs’ actions, and naturally, Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao could not be allowed to die too quickly.

Zhou Hongjing, who was endlessly devouring the bodies of cultivators, had his mouth covered in blood. As he spoke, fragments of flesh were visible between his teeth. His gaze fell upon Cheng Yiyao, "Since you refuse to be my woman, then be my food! I will savor every piece of flesh and blood from your body."

Standing beside Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao witnessed Zhou Hongjing’s terrifying appearance; as she heard his words, her face lost every trace of color.

Ye Chenfeng, surrounded by three Zhous cultivators of Initial Stage Divine King Realm, watched as the cultivators in the True Dragon Hall died one by one and were devoured by the Zhous. He cared little for their survival; as long as Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao were temporarily safe, it was enough.

Screams continuously echoed in the air.

An extreme yin aura spread throughout the Zhous’ domain, as the faux mountain covering the underground path in the Zhous’ medicinal garden remained open, allowing a dense yin aura to rise from below ground.

It’s crucial to know that beneath that medicinal garden lie hundreds of corpse pools, uncountable bodies surely lay therein, and the yin aura amassed there speaks for itself.

With time slowly ticking by.

Fewer and fewer cultivators remained alive within the True Dragon Hall, with the entire Zhous’ domain permeated with a dense yin aura.

One could say the Zhous’ domain turned into a land of extreme yin.

The cultivators who hadn’t attended the Zhous’ feast in Lingfeng City looked towards the Zhous’ residence, witnessing yin aura shooting to the sky from within.

Quickly.

Inside the True Dragon Hall, aside from the Zhous, only Ye Chenfeng, Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old Steward remained alive.

The True Dragon Hall was filled with extreme yin aura, and the stench of blood suffused the air.

Zhou Niantian and Zhou Wufeng refocused their gaze on Ye Chenfeng, learning from Zhou Hongjing and others that he was the root cause of today’s chaos.

As many Zhous entered an unspeakable state, it’s certain the Zhous can’t remain in Lingfeng City, and this all stemmed from Ye Chenfeng.

Pus continuously oozed from Zhou Niantian’s rotting face; he spoke, "Truly unexpected for a mere Initial Stage Divine King Realm kid to turn the Zhous upside down."

Zhou Niantian’s Half-step Divine Venerable aura and corpse qi simultaneously bore down on Ye Chenfeng.

Zhou Hongjing said, "Ancestor, can we spare this kid a breath? I want him to see me devour his body bit by bit."

Zhou Tianlu chimed in, "Ancestor, I’d like the same. After all, I’ve also died at this kid’s hands once; if we weren’t practicing the Corpse Demon Art, the Zhous would’ve been entirely destroyed by him."

To their requests, Zhou Niantian casually nodded. Not far were Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old Steward, whose nerves were taut, recognizing Ye Chenfeng’s strained state, fearing he had little combat power left, they weren’t going to survive the Zhous, their bodies devoured.

Yet as the yin aura in the Zhous’ domain turned increasingly potent, and the entire domain became one of extreme yin, Ye Chenfeng’s mind revealed a hint of a smile.

Back in the Tian Xuan Realm, he encountered Old White and Old Black’s familiar ghost, Old Ghost.

As ghosts need to reside in places steeped in yin and death, Old Ghost insisted on leaving with them at the time, so Ye Chenfeng placed him in the Coffin of Death, perfect for Old Ghost.

Old Ghost’s power had truly stepped into Early Divine Venerable Realm; now the Zhous’ place was of extreme yin, with additional death qi from recent slaughter in the True Dragon Hall, Old Ghost should be able to barely appear here, which is Ye Chenfeng’s sole remaining option.

He swiftly withdrew the Coffin of Death from the Chaos Ring, having sealed it again previously.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng take out a coffin, Zhou Niantian coldly shouted, "An Initial Stage Divine King Realm kid dares to feign before me."

Zhou Niantian directly slapped towards Ye Chenfeng.

A bloodstained giant handprint enveloped Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng quickly broke the Coffin of Death’s seal and pushed open the lid, saying, "Old Ghost, it’s up to you now."

A mocking voice arose from within the Coffin of Death, "Finally can come out to stretch."

"When did you half-step Divine Venerables dare claim to be respectable?"

A swirl of black fog drifted from the Coffin of Death, dissipating the bloodstained handprint upon Ye Chenfeng into oblivion.

Afterwards, Ye Chenfeng quickly resealed the Coffin of Death. His right chest had accrued a bizarre death qi pattern; he wouldn’t let the Coffin of Death’s sinister qi invade his body further.
