Qin Shan's gaze remained fixed on the Asura Commander as he continued, "I killed Wang Xiao. Take me to see the High Priest of Song Emperor City."
The Asura Commander's expression stiffened slightly. To meet the High Priest—he was one of the top-ranked commanders of Song Emperor City, with terrifying strength, and indeed could gain an audience with the High Priest. As for Wang Xiao's death, the Asura Commander truly did not care much.
"Senior must have had a reason for killing Wang Xiao, but I wonder why Senior wishes to see the High Priest," the Asura Commander asked.
"Wang Xiao deserved to die. You only need to take me to see the High Priest; there is no need to know about other matters. Additionally, Green Lotus and the other person have some connection with my disciple. Song Emperor City should not trouble them," Qin Shan said calmly. The Asura Commander nodded slightly and replied, "I understand. Song Emperor City will not make things difficult for Commander Green Lotus and the other. Senior, please follow me to Song Emperor City."
A Saint-level figure—every word he spoke carried astonishing weight. He did not need to use force or threats; merely standing there was a deterrent. An ordinary statement was invisible pressure. With a Saint personally instructing them, how could Song Emperor City dare to lightly offend Commander Green Lotus? As for Wang Xiao, his death would likely be in vain.
Qin Shan, the Ancient Saint, turned around. In his deep, unfathomable eyes, a peculiar expression flickered as he glanced at Commander Green Lotus and Qing Qing. Then a voice sounded in both their ears: "Uncle Green Lotus, Qing Qing, we will meet again someday."
With that, Qin Shan the Ancient Saint turned his body, stepped into the void, and departed alongside the Asura Commander.
Commander Green Lotus and Qing Qing's bodies trembled slightly. That voice was Lin Feng's voice.
Watching the departing figure, their expressions were extremely complex. He was gone. Lin Feng had gone to Song Emperor City with the Asura Commander, likely to step into another world. This parting might be eternal.
Black Rope Commander and Qin Yao also stared at the departing figure, but they were thinking: Could Lin Feng already be a disciple of a Saint?
"Green Lotus." Black Rope Commander looked toward Commander Green Lotus, then stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect you to come back from the dead. Although we are at odds, I am happy for you."
Commander Green Lotus nodded slightly and said, "Thanks to Lin Feng. But you should keep your distance from me."
Black Rope Commander understood Commander Green Lotus's words. They had just killed Wang Xiao. Although the Ancient Saint had ensured Song Emperor City would not touch Commander Green Lotus, Black Rope Commander was still a commander of Song Emperor City and naturally needed to avoid suspicion.
"I never expected it. That kid has grown too fast. Although he hasn't broken through to the Emperor Realm, his combat power has likely long surpassed ordinary Great Emperor-level figures," Black Rope Commander sighed. "I really don't know why you didn't go with him."
"Everyone has different pursuits. He has his own life. If fate allows, we will meet again, even across worlds," Commander Green Lotus said calmly.
Both fell silent and stopped speaking. Meanwhile, in the passage connecting the Underworld to the Nine Heavens Continent, within the Immortal Kingdom Trial battlefield, endless conquests continued without cease. At this moment, in one direction, a great battle erupted. One side completely suppressed the other; the gap in strength was not even a little.
"Ye Que, go ahead and start refining," a beautiful woman said at this moment. If anyone from Qi Tian Holy Capital were here, they would be shocked, for the speaker was a Saintess of the Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty.
"Alright." Ye Que nodded slightly. Array Dao power captured some people, only injuring them but not killing them.
"Lei Dongtian, be careful with your attacks." Gu Yao Saintess looked at another battle maniac. Lei Dongtian's strength was formidable, but his explosive combat style was too intense, often accidentally killing people. How could they refine demon puppets according to Lin Feng's instructions like this?
Lei Dongtian coldly glanced at Gu Yao Saintess. This woman was really annoying. If Lin Feng hadn't ordered that everyone must follow Gu Yao Saintess's lead, he would have already struck her with a Heavenly Demon Thunder Tribulation for daring to be so arrogant with him.
Ji Jiang fought nearby, secretly glancing at these monstrous figures. Since following Lin Feng, his strength had improved fast enough, and his combat power had soared to new heights. He thought he had reached a new level, but seeing these guys' combat abilities, he was still speechless. Too brutal. As for their mission, it was to use the demon puppet refining method Lin Feng had left them to create a demonic army.
In this battlefield of slaughter and conquest, there was never any trace of human emotion. Everyone who entered this place faced the crisis of mutual killing. Lei Dongtian, Ye Que, and Gu Yao Saintess were all extremely formidable figures, especially Lei Dongtian. He was a powerful expert who had hoped to enter the top one hundred seats of the Nine Heavens Gathering. Throughout the entire Immortal Kingdom Trial grounds, it was difficult to find anyone stronger than him.
This small army of terrifying figures continued to grow and develop in the Immortal Kingdom Trial grounds, known as the Spear of the Nether God, rapidly rising on the battlefield.
As for Lin Feng at this moment, having transformed into Qin Shan, he had already met the High Priest of Song Emperor City. This High Priest was as thin as a skeleton, like an ordinary withered old man who might die at any moment. Only his eyes gave off a terrifying feeling.
However, facing Qin Shan the Ancient Saint, he was quite polite. He led Lin Feng to a misty palace. Stepping inside, Lin Feng felt as if he had truly arrived at the underworld.
"After passing through the eighteen gates of hell, you can leave the Underworld and step into the Nine Heavens Continent. As for where you will end up, I am not sure," the High Priest said to Lin Feng, looking up at the hellish stairways above. Lin Feng felt that the exit of the Underworld was as mysterious as the entrance, and he had no idea where it would lead.
"When I entered, it was in the Nine Heavens Continent. I wonder where this exit leads," Lin Feng thought. Then Qin Shan the Ancient Saint's body turned into a residual shadow, rushing toward the hellish stairways above.
Before long, Lin Feng passed through eighteen gates of hell but found himself beneath a river of deathly black water. Without any hesitation, Lin Feng directly plunged into the black water, swimming upward. He remembered that when he had entered from the Nine Nether Realm last time, there had been a black water river flowing.
The rolling black water of death converged into a river, constantly flowing through this Nine Nether Forbidden Land. But at that moment, a splashing sound came, and a figure broke through the water, appearing outside the black river.
Lin Feng's gaze swept across this void. His eyes narrowed slightly, then a faint smile appeared in them.
Letting out a long breath, Lin Feng murmured, "I'm back. This is truly the Nine Nether Forbidden Land. The Eight Wastelands and Nine Nether—Song Emperor City and the Nine Heavens Continent are connected through an underworld, and this exit is actually the small world where I lived for many years. The Nine Nether Forbidden Land—no one dares to come here. But for Qin Shan, this place is naturally not a forbidden ground."
Lin Feng's figure flickered as he moved outward, returning to his own body. He let Qin Shan the Ancient Saint return to his body, continuing to strengthen that wisp of consciousness. Even though they were fused, Lin Feng's will still mainly controlled things. This way, Qin Shan the Ancient Saint's consciousness would not be consumed, allowing the Ancient Saint to recover more slowly.
Outside the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, a few scattered people had come to explore. But at that moment, the void roared, and a figure broke through the air, actually emerging from the Nine Heavens Forbidden Land. Their eyes all froze. Just as they were about to step forward and speak, when they met the figure's gaze, they immediately wilted.
This was probably a powerful figure at the Great Ability level, perhaps one of the twelve Martial Emperors from the twelve empires?
Lin Feng naturally did not know their thoughts. Arriving in this familiar world, his gaze swept around, then fixed on a certain direction. His figure flickered, turning into a streak of light as he shot toward that direction.
"Although Snow Moon Kingdom has been emptied by me and has no people, so many years have passed. Snow Moon Kingdom has probably started to develop again. I wonder how it is," Lin Feng thought to himself. Given the spiritual energy of Snow Moon Kingdom, martial artists from neighboring countries had always longed for it. After the population suddenly disappeared, martial artists from other countries would likely have migrated there in large numbers.
The truth was exactly as Lin Feng guessed. Snow Moon Kingdom had long since developed anew. From a country where everyone had mysteriously vanished, it had become a prosperous free nation. Without imperial power, only various forces competing and restraining each other.
And Yangzhou City had become a treasure that all forces wanted to seize.
Now, guarding Yangzhou City, the powerful figure revered by the people of Yangzhou City, was a Venerable-level strong woman. She was very outstanding and also very beautiful, exuding boundless charm. Countless people secretly fantasized about this woman being theirs, but for them, this was destined to be a luxury.
This woman was named Qing Mengxin. Although she was just a woman, she was more formidable than many men.
At this moment, the woman stood before a massive statue. This statue had been cast at a terrifying cost, standing three zhang tall, requiring one to look up to see it. And the location of this statue was precisely at the entrance of Yangzhou City!
