Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 28 Cooperation

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Cooperation

"Help me compete for the Imperial Throne..." Long Chen cautiously spoke, and after finishing, he cautiously observed the expressions on Shi Feng’s face.

"Okay!" Contrary to expectation, Shi Feng’s face showed no change upon hearing this; he agreed cleanly and decisively.

"Eh... Really?" Seeing that Shi Feng seemed not even to think before answering so simply, Long Chen almost couldn’t believe it was true. He even began to doubt Shi Feng’s identity again—had this person really received the inheritance of Emperor Nine Nether? Could his mentor truly be Emperor Xiaoyao, Mo Xiaoyao?

People are like this, the more straightforward and direct you are about some things, the less likely they are to believe you.

According to Long Chen’s thinking, Shi Feng should be carefully considering for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and seeing what benefits he could gain before making a decision.

"Since I have agreed, I will naturally help you. But in the future, you must provide all my cultivation resources. Whatever I want, you must find a way to get it for me," Shi Feng said.

Of course, Shi Feng wasn’t foolish enough to help Long Chen unconditionally. Currently, his strength was weak, and he was seriously lacking cultivation resources. He knew from his past life that to achieve success in Martial Arts, one needed to accumulate immense resources for the cultivation of the body, spirit, and soul.

Naturally, Shi Feng also knew that the resources within such a small empire were limited, but he figured he’d take whatever he could scrape together.

Hearing Shi Feng’s demands, Long Chen felt that it was only reasonable. Otherwise, if Shi Feng had agreed without any conditions, that would have been suspicious.

"Okay! I will do my utmost to fulfill your needs, but only within my capabilities. If you want Eighth-stage, Ninth-stage medicinal herbs, and Divine Artifacts, those can’t even be found throughout the entire Yunlai Empire," Long Chen said.

"Understood!" Shi Feng said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Tonight, arrange a Gravity Room for me that reaches fifty times the normal gravity. Also, collect some information on Shi Jintian for me."

"Fifty times gravity in the Gravity Room!" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise, "This... Fifty times the gravity would require at least a warrior at the Nine-star Martial Spirit Peak to withstand it!" Long Chen felt that this young man was rather arrogant. Although he had killed the Martial Spirit powerhouse Hai Batian, it was thanks to the powerful Martial Skill passed down from Emperor Nine Nether. His actual strength, as Master Nalan Yuan had said, was merely at the Two-star Warrior Realm.

No matter how exquisite and powerful the Martial Skill, it would be almost useless in the Gravity Room. With his Two-star Warrior body, he would be crushed by his own physique as soon as he entered the Gravity Room.

Long Chen thought that since Shi Feng was born in a small village near Moon City, he must have never trained in a Gravity Room and was unaware of how terrifying a fifty times gravity room could be.

"Is there a problem?" Shi Feng asked with a frown, a hint of displeasure showing on his face.

"There’s no problem per se, but are you sure you really need me to set up a Gravity Room with fifty times the gravity for you?" Long Chen wanted to confirm once more.

"Do as I tell you. That’s how you should act in the future too. Don’t continue to ask questions that don’t need to be asked," Shi Feng said, his face showing displeasure as if he was scolding a subordinate.

Shi Feng’s words and attitude today made Long Chen suppress a bellyful of anger. Were it not for the fact that his sect’s heritage came from Emperor Nine Nether, daring to speak to a Prince of the Yunlai Empire like this would probably have him torn apart by horses by now.

And Long Chen found that when speaking with this young man, he was always somehow on the back foot.

In order to accomplish great things, Long Chen still suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Shi Feng, "In three hours, the Gravity Room will be prepared for you, and I’ll send you the information on Shi Jintian. Also, I must remind you that the death of Ming’an, the Second-stage Refiner of Skywind Sect, is now known to the Skywind Sect. I’ve received information that the Skywind Sect has already sent the Yin Yang Envoys to Moon City, and they should arrive in two days."

"Martial Arts Realm, what level is that?" Shi Feng asked.

"Two Martial Spirit Peak experts just one step away from Martial King," Long Chen answered.

Shi Feng nodded, then said something that almost made Long Chen’s jaw drop, "In that case, increase the gravity in the Gravity Room by another five times, make it fifty-five times."

"You... are you trying to kill yourself? Alright, I’ll go arrange it as you wish." Long Chen was a bit resentful as he spoke to Shi Feng, even wanting to see Shi Feng’s regret, despair, and helplessness after entering the fifty-five times Gravity Room.

Long Chen began to doubt whether his coming here today was correct or not. This guy was simply reckless, risking his life at any moment.

"Right," just as he was about to leave, Long Chen suddenly thought of something, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked back at Shi Feng to ask, "What is your relationship with Emperor Xiaoyao?"

Emperor Xiaoyao, Mo Xiaoyao, hearing this title, a sense of affection immediately rose in Shi Feng’s heart. Xiaoyao was the laziest and most playful among their brothers, and also the one he had beaten up the most, yet paradoxically he also had the best talent; among so many disciples, he was the first to step into the Martial Emperor Realm.

Memories flashed through his mind, and Shi Feng’s expression softened a lot as he said to Long Chen, "I do have some relation to Mo Xiaoyao. If you can find him, I can have him make a move on your behalf once."

"Really?" Long Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, then he nodded at Shi Feng, "I will do my best to find him!"

After saying that, Long Chen turned around and left.

After Long Chen had left, Shi Ling put her hands on her hips, and in a manner reminiscent of a little adult, she finally spoke, "You people talk in such strange ways, I, a little child, can’t understand a bit."

Looking at Shi Ling’s manner, Shi Feng was both amused and exasperated. He pinched the little one’s cheek and said, "When it’s time for children to play, go play. Don’t eavesdrop on adults’ conversations."

"I wasn’t eavesdropping, you were talking over there. I couldn’t help but hear it," Shi Ling retorted with a pout.

"Heh," Shi Feng chuckled, flipped his right hand, and immediately a chicken leg larger than Shi Ling’s cheek appeared in his hand.

Waving the chicken leg in front of Shi Ling, Shi Feng teased, "Little rascal, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

"Ah! Meat!" Seeing the chicken leg, Shi Ling cried out in delight and hurried towards the kitchen, calling out as she ran, "My big black dog meat!"

Shi Feng: "..."

Meanwhile, Li Ru had initially planned to run and find Shi Feng, but halfway there, she realized she was all dirty. Thus, Li Ru turned back, heading home instead. She couldn’t meet Shi Feng like this. She had to get herself clean and pretty, she wanted to show Shi Feng her most beautiful side.

Imagining how Shi Feng would be dazed, utterly enchanted by her beauty, Li Ru couldn’t wait any longer and quickened her pace from a walk to a jog.

At this moment, Li Ru’s mind was full of Shi Feng, continuously recalling the sight of Shi Feng striking with his sword into the Void, casting the Great Palm Print with grandeur.
