Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 367: The Ignored Problem

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: The Ignored Problem

"Nine Nether shall not perish, eternal through the ages!" Shi Feng floated mid-air in the Priest Hall, his blood-colored battle armor receded, and he donned a black robe once more, his hands forming seals, he softly chanted, beginning to circulate the Nine Nether Technique to heal his injuries.

As time slowly passed, looking through the enormous hole that appeared in the roof of the Priest Hall, one could see outside it had turned dark, and the night sky was filled with stars.

Under the healing effects of the Nine Nether Technique and the pills, Shi Feng’s injuries gradually healed, new flesh slowly grew, and even the charred skin on his head naturally fell off, revealing strands of dark hair as he once again became a serene and handsome man. Even the newly formed skin seemed fairer and cleaner than before.

The Snake-man Clan of the Territory of the Snake-man Clan also gradually realized that the Priest Hall had quieted down, and those important members of the Snake-man Clan who previously left the Priest Hall cautiously returned to it. Then, they saw the ground within the hall was covered in cracks, like a massive spider web, a total mess, in complete disarray, as if a great battle or disaster had taken place.

In the hall, only Shi Feng remained, quietly suspended mid-air, his hands still forming seals, his eyes slightly closed.

Many eyes swept the hall, finding only Shi Feng remaining, inevitably worrying for the disappeared Priest Lord and Princess Zi Ya.

They did not know where they had gone or what had become of them. When these people had left the Priest Hall, it had been in extreme chaos, with demonic qi soaring into the sky. Although many had seen a bizarre blood-colored light flash across both individuals and then they vanished, no one knew where they had disappeared to.

Nor did they know where this blood-colored light had come from, most suspected it originated from the Evil Demon suppressed by the Six-star Dark Ancient Array.

Feelings of unease and sorrow immediately spread among the Snake-man Clan.

Sensing the Snake-man Clan had entered the Priest Hall and that his injuries had also healed, Shi Feng slowly opened his eyes, looking down at the Snake-man Clan not far below.

"Lord Shi Feng!" Seeing Shi Feng suspended in mid-air, opening his eyes, a middle-aged Snake-man Clan male stepped forward, greeting Shi Feng with Human Clan’s etiquette, a fist-in-palm salute, "May I ask where the Priest Lord and Princess Zi Ya are now? Please tell us the truth!"

Looking at these Snake-man Clan members, and seeing their worried, uneasy faces, Shi Feng slowly spoke, "Do not worry, your Priest and Zi Ya are now safe."

After Shi Feng finished speaking, on the desolate black ground beneath him, suddenly two blood-colored flashes of light appeared, revealing two figures—it was the Snake-man Clan’s Priestess and Princess Zi Ya.

Princess Zi Ya was still with her snake tail coiled, sitting on the ground, while the Priestess wore an expression of surprise, looking around. Although observing the desolate state of the Priest Hall, she still recognized she had returned to the Priest Hall.

The Priestess then looked up, seeing the black-robed figure floating in the void, looking at the sight within the Priest Hall, she knew that a great battle must have taken place, and seeing Shi Feng, who appeared unharmed, floating in the void, the Priestess vaguely guessed the outcome.

"Lord Shi Feng, what about the Evil Demon suppressed by our clan?" Although the Priestess knew the result, she still asked. The Dark Six-Star Ancient Array was destroyed, this was irreversible. The Evil Demon, suppressed by their ancestors for so many years, almost caused a great disaster due to being forgotten by her, the Priestess, nearly making her a sinner of the Snake-man Clan.

"As you see, the Evil Demon has vanished, completely eradicated by this young master," Shi Feng said indifferently, to the Snake-man Clan.

The "demon" had indeed completely disappeared; as the Demon Eye merged with the Corrosive Evil Eye, Shi Feng had already sensed that the Demon Soul within the Demon Eye, like the Corrosive Evil Eye from before, was thoroughly eradicated by the Source of All Things and was now serving him.

"The Evil Demon suppressed by our ancestor has truly been eliminated by Lord Shi Feng! Lord Shi Feng has saved our Snake-man Clan!"

"We’re fortunate that Lord Shi Feng came to our Snake-man Tribe this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable!"

One after another, the members of the Snake-man Clan couldn’t help but speak out. Even those Snake-men who had previously been resentful because Shi Feng was from the Human Clan, now looked at him with faces full of respect and gratitude. This member of the Human Clan was now a hero to their Snake-man Clan!

When the Evil Demon was about to emerge, the Demon Fog that burst forth and the powerful force it emitted were so strong they almost took their breath away; they were simply no match for them. After all, this was an Evil Demon that had been suppressed by their ancestors since Ancient Times, using the Elder Dark Six-Star Ancient Array.

Zi Lin, the elder sister of Zi Ya, displayed a complex expression. She, like the other members of the Snake-man Tribe, held respect and gratitude, but there was also worry. Could such a man, such a proud son of the Human Clan, ever take a fancy to her youngest sister?

"Lord Shi Feng, our clan owes you a debt of gratitude for saving us. Please accept the Snake-man Clan’s bow!" the Priestess said, her face full of gratitude. Her serpentine lower body bent down, and her stature seemed akin to a member of the Human Clan kneeling on both knees as she then bent her upper body forward.

"Lord Shi Feng, please accept our bow!"

"Please accept our bow!"

After the Priestess paid her respects to Shi Feng, one by one, the bigwigs from the Territory of the Snake-man Clan followed suit, their faces filled with sincerity, paying their respects to Shi Feng.

"All right, you don’t need to do this!" Shi Feng said to the Snake-man Tribe. "I have already said that Zi Ya is my friend! Everyone, please rise!"

Only when Shi Feng finished speaking did the members of the Snake-man Clan slowly stand up, but the respect and gratitude on their faces remained.

While looking at the Snake-man Tribe, Shi Feng suddenly thought of a problem. The purpose of his visit to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan, among these people, apart from this Priestess, it seemed like not a single Snake-man was at the Martial Sect Level!

And the medicinal ingredients he needed... it was clearly written that he required the blood of a young Snake-man girl at the Martial Sect Level, and Mo Yang had even noted: It must be from a virgin!

Shi Feng then realized that he had overlooked an issue. The list from Mo Yang stated the blood of a young Snake-man girl at the Martial Sect Level. This "girl" should refer to someone below eighteen years of age, but how could there be any martial experts at the Martial Sect Level under the age of eighteen in this desert among the Snake-man Race!

Even the middle-aged Snake-men, those with the highest realm in Martial Arts, were at the Martial King Realm at best!

Shi Feng slowly descended and landed next to the Priestess, thinking about that particular medicinal ingredient, especially Mo Yang’s note. A slightly awkward expression surfaced on Shi Feng’s face as he asked the Priestess, "In the Snake-man Clan, apart from yourself, is there anyone else who has reached the Martial Sect Level in the Martial Arts Realm? Especially... are there any young... girls who have entered the Martial Sect Level?"
