# Chapter 1289: Nine Nether Demon Lotus
"Lin Feng, go do your own things. I won't disturb you!" Qing Mengxin revealed a smile toward Lin Feng. She understood in her heart that she and Lin Feng were no longer on the same level. Lin Feng treated her kindly because he hadn't forgotten their acquaintance from before. Even if Lin Feng didn't acknowledge her, that would be perfectly natural.
Lin Feng's gaze seemed to see through Qing Mengxin's thoughts. He didn't say much, only replying to Qing Mengxin: "If something happens in the future, you can come find me at the Heavenly Terrace in the Eight Wastelands, or contact me through the Yangzhou City Imperial Palace."
"Definitely!" Qing Mengxin nodded with a smile. Lin Feng gestured to her, then turned and left.
"All of you, go!" Lin Feng lightly uttered a sound. Immediately, the Sword Pavilion experts transformed into streaks of sword light and vanished from this area in an instant. They all understood their young master's nature—if there was nothing important, Lin Feng didn't like others following him.
His figure flickered and shifted. The Curse Bearer's appearance emerged once again. Moreover, behind Lin Feng, many Venerable Martial Realm experts followed the direction he was heading.
The reason Lin Feng chose to use the Curse Bearer identity instead of his own was naturally for convenience. Lin Feng was too conspicuous. In the Eight Wastelands now, too few people didn't know him. And with his enmity with the Qi Family and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, if those experts found a sure-kill opportunity, they definitely wouldn't be polite with him. The Qi Family's Sovereign Lord, Qi Yun, had nearly cost him his life.
Now that the Demon Palace had been blasted into such a state, there probably wouldn't be anything else appearing. The Demon Flute was already in hand. He would wait until later to study what kind of treasure that Demon Flute really was.
In this Small World spanning millions of miles, naturally Lin Feng wasn't the only one who obtained a Demon Flute. Quite a few people had gotten some things, but they all kept silent about it. If they hadn't been discovered, they weren't foolish enough to tell others.
"Scatter!" Lin Feng uttered a sound. Immediately, all the Venerable Martial Realm figures following him dispersed, heading in all directions across the Small World. Of course, if Lin Feng needed them, he only needed a single thought to recall them all. These Demon Puppets were now under his control.
"Boom!" A terrifying sound rolled in from the distance. Lin Feng's pupils contracted as he cast his gaze in that direction. In the distant void, a terrifying netherworld firelight shot up into the clouds, as if it would evaporate even the sky itself. Lin Feng sensed a terrifying flame power—Demon Fire!
"Whoosh!" Stepping forward, Lin Feng's figure transformed into a streak of light rushing toward that space. Not just Lin Feng—people from all directions felt the sky-piercing Demon Fire at this moment. Moreover, the terrifying intent of this Demon Fire continued to grow stronger.
"It's burning!" Lin Feng's eyes fixed on the distance, his expression stiff. That entire stretch of void was burning, transforming into the dark color of the demonic path, radiating terrifying dark demonic qi. The entire sky was like this, reaching all the way up beyond the Nine Heavens, dyeing the clouds with traces of darkness.
"So terrifying. A heavy treasure has appeared!"
In the minds of people from all directions, the same thought emerged simultaneously. Heaven and earth had changed color. The entire sky had been dyed into the dark color of the demonic path by the flames.
This was the first time such a terrifying phenomenon had appeared in this Small World. Without a doubt, some terrifying treasure had been discovered.
In the void, countless streaks of light suddenly appeared, moving at an inconceivable speed, all rushing toward that direction. Lin Feng felt figures whistling past him, the void rumbling with the terrifying sound of gale-force winds sweeping by. There were too many experts in this space.
"I wonder what has been discovered to cause such a terrifying phenomenon." Lin Feng's speed increased again. He moved through the void like a dark demonic shadow. Finally, when he reached the outer perimeter of that space, his heart skipped a beat.
"Demon Flame!" Lin Feng stared at the space below in the distance. For ten miles in every direction, everything had been incinerated into nothingness. Demon Fire shot into the sky, the void itself burning into the dark color of the demonic path. The scorching heat carried a terrifying icy coldness. The aura emanating from that Demon Fire made people feel dread.
It was a nine-leaf lotus, radiating a terrifying dark color. Of course, it wasn't a real lotus, but a flame lotus—nine leaves, nine petals, all incomparably huge, as if they had just bloomed. But the flame power contained within—no one knew how terrifying it was. This was true Demon Flame.
Many Venerable Martial Realm experts watched the nine-leaf Demon Flame from a great distance, their hearts trembling. Such terrifying flames—even Sovereign Lord level figures felt that if they got close to those nine leaves, they would definitely be incinerated into nothingness, reduced to ashes. Absolutely no one could withstand the terror of this Demon Flame.
At this moment, everyone was thinking about how to collect this terrifying Demon Flame.
"If the Heaven Devouring Chart were still here, there might be hope of collecting the Demon Flame!" At this moment, in one direction of the void, a Sovereign Lord level figure spoke with a grim expression. It was all because of that incompetent Qi Yun. Not only had he failed to kill Lin Feng, but he had also caused the Heaven Devouring Chart to be destroyed. That was an Imperial Artifact. Even if Qi Yun were dead, his old life wouldn't be enough to compensate for an Imperial Artifact.
"Lin Feng!" The Qi Family members all had icy eyes. If they still had the Heaven Devouring Chart, seizing treasures would be so much easier. Instead, they were now helpless like this.
Lin Feng glanced at the Qi Family crowd. These people probably wouldn't imagine that the person they hated to the bone was right in front of them, not far away.
But Lin Feng quickly shifted his gaze away, sweeping across the void. Then he discovered another figure—a demon beast. Its red fur was now stained with a layer of black, and it seemed some red fur on its head had been burned off. This scene made Lin Feng's eyes freeze. This old bastard—hadn't he caused this Demon Flame?
His figure moved slightly. Lin Feng flickered toward Qiongqi's direction, arriving not far from him. He transmitted his voice: "Pseudo-Emperor, did you cause this Demon Flame?"
Qiongqi heard someone calling him Pseudo-Emperor and immediately froze, his massive eyes fixed as he looked around. Finally, his gaze landed on Lin Feng's direction. His huge mouth opened slightly, revealing white fangs.
"Good kid, you change identities even more frequently than I, this Emperor!" Qiongqi also transmitted back. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to have changed his face again.
"What's the story with this Demon Flame?" Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to waste words with this guy and asked directly.
"Aren't you asking a stupid question? Besides I, this Emperor, who else could bring out that Nine Nether guy's Demon Flame?" Qiongqi raised his head high, glancing at Lin Feng with a smug, arrogant look. But when Lin Feng saw the burnt fur on his head, he felt an urge to laugh.
"The Nine Nether Demon Emperor's Demon Flame!" Lin Feng murmured to himself. It seemed this bastard Qiongqi wasn't being honest. Besides the Three Lives Scripture, he probably coveted these flames as well. Otherwise, why would he have brought out the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's Demon Flame when Lin Feng met him again?
This old bastard was, after all, the ancestor of playing with fire, bearing the title of Flame Emperor. If he really got his hands on this Demon Flame, it would probably be a huge boost for him.
"How do we get it?" Lin Feng stared at the nine-leaf Demon Flame, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
"It escaped from me earlier. This time it'll be difficult!" Qiongqi's eyes showed a frustrated expression.
"It escaped from you?" Lin Feng's expression froze. Could this flame run away on its own?
"Yes. This is the Demon Flame once controlled by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor—the Nine Nether Demon Lotus. Legend says it was a dark lotus among the Nine Nether Flames that evolved life and became the Nine Nether Demon Lotus. I almost got my hands on it earlier, but I was just a little short, and it escaped. Now, even Sovereign Lord level figures can't get close to it. They'd be burned to death directly, reduced to ashes. Even Imperial Artifacts are useless. Those Qi Family people are too foolish. The Nine Nether Demon Lotus—how could their Heaven Devouring Chart possibly swallow it!"
Qiongqi transmitted to Lin Feng, his voice filled with extreme displeasure. So close—the Nine Nether Demon Lotus had been within reach. Now he probably couldn't get it. The Qi Family people were ridiculous, thinking the Heaven Devouring Chart could collect the Nine Nether Demon Lotus.
"So terrifying!" Lin Feng's expression stiffened, his heart twitching. Sovereign Lords would die approaching it. Imperial Artifacts would be incinerated too. That meant it was impossible to obtain!
"Since there's no hope, what are you still doing here?" Lin Feng asked Qiongqi.
"There's still a glimmer of hope!" Qiongqi's gaze showed unwillingness. He had to get his hands on it!
PS: Sixth chapter, making up for the three chapters owed. But the flower count is really disappointing—we're being pulled away by third place!
