Chapter 564: Chapter 555 Emperor Nine Nether’s Illegitimate Child?

"Let’s head to Undying Mountain!"

Shi Feng said.

Shi Feng traveled to the North Domain, apart from his two disciples, Luo Qingchuan and Leng Aoyue were also outside the North Domain. There was also the time when he was outside Moon City, in the icy space while subduing the Sacred Flame, he told the Sacred Flame that the Blood Pattern Tribe had been exterminated completely, wiped out for generations.

However, the Sacred Flame argued, saying, "You don’t know the strength of the Blood Pattern Tribe. As long as Undying Mountain exists," when mentioning Undying Mountain that day, the Sacred Flame suddenly stopped. Shi Feng then speculated that the Luo family had been guarding Undying Mountain for generations and that supposedly, a powerful evil object was suppressed on Undying Mountain, which might be related to his Blood Pattern Tribe.

At that time, Shi Feng wanted to visit Undying Mountain.

And when Shi Feng mentioned "Undying Mountain," he felt a slight fluctuation of the Sacred Flame within him, although it was very subtle, Shi Feng still caught it.

"What is the relationship between this Undying Mountain and the Blood Pattern Tribe? Could it be that your tribe’s warriors are suppressed there?" Shi Feng communicated with the Sacred Flame through his soul.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, the Sacred Flame responded with a cold snort, then fell silent.

"You ungrateful thing, now that we are one, you still take the side of outsiders! The Blood Pattern Tribe has nothing to do with you anymore, only I am your master," Shi Feng communicated again with the Sacred Flame through his soul.

But the Sacred Flame remained tightly shut, refusing to speak.

"Truly an ungrateful thing!"

At this time, Xue Wuheng heard that Shi Feng’s intention aligned with his own, to go to Undying Mountain, his face once again expressed slight surprise as he looked at Shi Feng and said, "Young Master Feng, you want to go to Undying Mountain? Could it be that besides knowing my master and Uncle Xiaoyao, you also know my master from Undying Mountain, Luo Qingchuan?"

"Your master, and your six Uncles, I know them all," Shi Feng replied indifferently to Xue Wuheng, then standing up, he continued, "Then, it’s settled. Remember to call me when you use the Cross-Domain Transmission Array to leave the North Domain. I should be staying at the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building during this time."

Seeing Shi Feng stand up, looking like he was preparing to leave, Shi Jinsuai also stood up.

Xue Wuheng saw the two men stand up, and prepared to stand and send them off. But just then, he saw Shi Feng suddenly forming a Sword Finger with his right hand, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was about to do.

After forming the Sword Finger with his right hand, Shi Feng swiftly struck the ground next to him, a ghastly white sword shadow appeared on the ground, and immediately, the ground was slashed open with a ferocious sword mark.

Seeing the sword mark that appeared on the ground, Xue Wuheng saw Shi Feng perform such a disrespectful action right in front of him. His handsome face immediately filled with anger, but then, sensing the sword mark on the ground, his expression suddenly changed drastically, his eyes widened in disbelief and he was momentarily stunned.

"This... this..."

Shi Feng glanced at the stunned Xue Wuheng, then said to Shi Jinsuai next to him, "Let’s go."

Shi Jinsuai furrowed his brows, clearly perplexed, looking at Xue Wuheng who was wide-eyed with confusion, again looking at the already moving Shi Feng, then once more at the sword mark on the ground.

Shi Jinsuai shook his head. He couldn’t discern anything special from the sword mark. He thought to himself, "Could this young man be bluffing, trying to scare Xueh Wuheng with just a sword mark? But there’s nothing special about it, no powerful force within it. It’s just an ordinary sword mark."

With confusion, Shi Jinsuai followed Shi Feng out of the room and out of the wooden building.

At that moment, the stunned Xueh Wuheng slowly came back to his senses. With an incredulous look, he gazed outside the house, but by now, those two figures had already walked far away.

Then, Xueh Wuheng lowered his head again to look at the sword mark left by Shi Feng. Shi Jinsuai had seen nothing because he hadn’t cultivated the Nine Nether Technique. This sword mark could only be sensed by those of the Nine Nether Lineage who had cultivated the Nine Nether Technique—the Martial Arts Sword Intent left on it!

"Martial Arts Sword Intent! Yes! There’s indeed the unique Martial Arts Intent of my Nine Nether Technique embedded in it!" Gazing at the sword mark on the ground, Xueh Wuheng’s shocked face soon showed a delighted expression, and his body trembled slightly as he murmured, "I can feel it! I can really feel it!"

Xueh Wuheng sensed the sword mark and suddenly realized that ever since reaching the Peak Realm of Nine-star Martial Venerable, and being stuck at a bottleneck for many years without a breakthrough, the bottleneck was now beginning to loosen.

Places he had once not understood now seemed illuminated by a bright light in the darkness, guiding his path forward.

It was as if enlightened by divine revelation.

"I... Haha... I’m about to break through! I’m about to enter the Martial Saint Realm! Hahaha!" Xueh Wuheng laughed heartily, his black hair and white robe dancing in the air without any wind, regaining a carefree and untrammeled demeanor.

Gradually, Xueh Wuheng snapped out of his elation and looked again toward the open room door, as if through it, he could see the distant young black figure.

"Who is he? Why would he know the Netherworld Skill of Ancestor of the Netherworld? And although his realm is only in the Martial Venerable Realm, he left behind this Martial Arts Sword Intent!

This Martial Arts Sword Intent, that deep understanding and Martial Arts Enlightenment that isn’t attained without entering the Martial Saint realm, how could he know it?"

"Could it be he!" Xueh Wuheng suddenly thought of something. Considering his age, he must’ve been born around the year the Ancestor of the Netherworld fell. Could it be that a woman was pregnant with the Ancestor’s child at that time, or had secretly given birth to his child?

And thus, before the Ancestor’s fall, he had recorded the Nine Nether Technique and Martial Arts Intent on a Jade Scroll and passed it on!

Could he... Could he be the illegitimate son of my Ancestor of the Netherworld?

...

After leaving the quaint little wooden building where Xueh Wuheng was, Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai didn’t stay any longer at Divine Love Pavilion. They soon left and returned to the bustling streets of Tianlan Imperial City.

At that moment, Shi Feng looked up at the sky, which was gradually turning to dusk, signaling the day was almost over.

Then, Shi Feng turned to Shi Jinsuai and said, "Let’s go. It’s getting late. We should head back to Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building. Let’s rest well tonight, gather our energy, so we can participate in the martial contest tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Shi Jinsuai nodded after hearing Shi Feng’s words. Then, the two of them, following the flow of people, headed towards Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building.

The competition for martial contests was about to begin!
