Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 166 Xinyan Feng

Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Xinyan Feng

In the desert night, a black bat flew rapidly through the air, with Shi Feng standing proudly atop it, facing the wild cold wind, the constant "whooshing" sound ringing in his ears.

"The Yunlai Empire, I have returned!" Shi Feng looked ahead in the direction of the Yunlai Empire, a cold smile emerging on his lips. He seemed to already envision the scenes of bloodshed and carnage, where those streams of blood and bodies would pave the way for his ascent to another peak.

"You damned mutant beast, why fly in this direction? Your master is already dead, and from now on, you’ll be my livestock, controlled by me for life. As long as you follow me obediently, I guarantee I’ll find you a fine she-wolf."

Just then, a familiar voice reached Shi Feng’s ears from not too far away, followed by a loud "roar" from a wolf.

Shi Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a demon wolf with black flesh wings and upon its back stood a figure in blue, hands holding a sword, the very Residual Flower Sword, Li Liuxin.

"Ghost Wolf!" Shi Feng shouted lowly, and the Li Liuxin on the back of the Ghost Wolf was suddenly startled and turned her head, muttering, "It’s really a ghost. This Evil Demon is still not dead. It turns out this mutant beast flew in this direction to find its master."

Immediately, the surprised look on Li Liuxin’s face was replaced by a smile as she laughed heartily, "Haha, Brother Shi, I knew it! With your great fortune and strong life, you indeed wouldn’t come to harm. These past few days, I and the small wolf have been searching for you all over the desert. It’s really great to see you now."

"You think so too, don’t you, little wolf?" Li Liuxin said, squatting down and affectionately stroking the Ghost Wolf’s head.

"Roar!" The Ghost Wolf let out a loud roar and flew rapidly towards Shi Feng.

Shi Feng pushed off with his feet, leaping from the black bat onto the back of the Ghost Wolf, then pointed at the black bat and said to Li Liuxin, "You go over there."

"Okay, sure!" Li Liuxin smiled at Shi Feng, then leaped towards the black bat. After finding her footing, Li Liuxin looked back at Shi Feng and said, "Brother Shi, in the past few days, I saw several groups in the desert. It seemed like they were from the Skywind Sect, Purple Thunder Sect, Blood Fiend Gate, Ice Snow Valley, and even some other small sects and empires. They were all holding your portrait, searching for you."

"Oh! They are eager indeed to have come all this way!" Shi Feng, hearing Li Liuxin’s words, laughed coldly, "That’s even better then."

Li Liuxin continued, "I also saw a woman, if I remember correctly, she is the Holy Maiden Feng Xinyan from the Skywind Sect. Her appearance, tsk tsk!"

"All right, since they have all come, I will send them on their way!" Shi Feng said coldly, then, after glancing at Li Liuxin, he said, "Goodbye! Ghost Wolf, let’s go!"

"Roar!" The Ghost Wolf emitted a low growl and, with a flap of its black flesh wings, flew rapidly into the void.

"Hey hey! Brother Shi, wait for me! I still haven’t found the way out of this Ghost Desert!" Li Liuxin’s anxious shout came from behind, and then she commanded the black bat beneath her, "Beast, fly faster, keep up with him! If you can’t, I’ll cook you tonight!"

In the desert night, hundreds of demon beasts gently flapped their wings, suspended in the void, with a martial artist standing or sitting on each. These were elite disciples selected from all the sects of the Yunlai Empire, and in their center stood a red figure, proudly towering in the night sky.

This was a woman, appearing to be around thirty years old, dressed in a plain red garment, her long hair draped over her shoulders, mature and charming, with a full figure, curves in all the right places, her complexion rosy. She looked just like a ripe peach, a woman of absolute beauty, able to tempt any man with the allure emanating from her.

However, the male martial artists around her all dared not gaze at her a second time, immediately averting their eyes after an accidental look. Despite her beauty and allure, everyone was aware that she was not to be trifled with; she was a ruthless character. Her identity, her name—Holy Maiden of Skywind Sect, Lin Xin Yan, a One-star Martial King Realm Expert.

A few days earlier, a martial artist from Blood Fiend Gate had lingered his gaze on Lin Xin Yan’s chest for too long and had his eyes gouged out by her, alive. That scene, those agonizing screams, still periodically surfaced in people’s minds and echoed in their ears.

This time, within the borders of the Yunlai Empire, all sects sent their elite to the Northwest, led by Lin Xin Yan, to kill Shi Feng in the Northwest. They knew that Lin Xin Yan possessed a Holy Artifact from Skywind Sect, and there were rumors that once the Holy Artifact was unleashed, it would change the heavens and the earth, obliterating everything.

"Report!" A loud shout came from the darkness of the night, as a disciple from Purple Thunder Sect riding a third-stage white two-winged flying beast approached rapidly through the space-breaking flight, soon arriving before Lin Xin Yan. Bowing with hands clasped, he said, "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, the traitor Shi Feng’s whereabouts have been discovered."

"Oh!" Lin Xin Yan responded indifferently, "Where?"

"About three hundred miles ahead!" the Purple Thunder Sect disciple reported.

"Good! Pass my command, halt the search, everyone convene here, lead the way!" Lin Xin Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

Atop the city walls of Western Wasteland City, a middle-aged man stood proudly, donning a black Python Dragon Robe, his physique imposing, his face exuding authority. His gaze fixated on the pitch-black, endless Northwest Desert. This person was the ruler of the Northwest under the Yunlai Empire—the Northwest Desert King, Elder Changqing.

"Report!" Another shout came from the darkness, and soon, a huge black raven flew from afar. Upon the raven’s back stood a soldier wrapped in black armor, who flew to Elder Changqing and kneeled on one knee, reporting, "Your Highness, Prince, the whereabouts of Shi Feng have been discovered!"

"Oh!" Elder Changqing’s indifferent face changed slightly as he asked, "Where?"

"Judging by his flying demon beast’s speed, he is roughly five hundred miles from here. Skywind Sect and the other great sects have already gone to encircle him."

"Pass my command, assemble all troops!" Elder Changqing ordered.

"Yes!"

...

Atop the back of the Ghost Wolf, Shi Feng looked coldly ahead and chuckled, "So they’ve come!"

In the dark night, a dense mass of flying demon beasts appeared ahead, their wings flapping as they hovered in the night sky as if waiting for his arrival. He flipped his wrist, and the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand while the speed of the Ghost Wolf beneath him did not diminish.

"It’s actually her!" Shi Feng saw among these densely packed demon beasts in the very front, a red figure standing proudly with an icy demeanor, gazing in this direction.

Seeing the red figure, Shi Feng’s cold smile intensified as he said, "I never expected it would be you! Lin Yan, Feng Xinyan—Holy Maiden of Skywind Sect!" This red-clad woman was none other than the One-star Martial King Realm woman Shi Feng had rescued from Yang Zhong’s clutches in the Flame Territory of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Back then, she had told Shi Feng her surname was Lin and her name was Yan, yet he had not realized she was actually the Holy Maiden of Skywind Sect—Feng Xinyan!
