Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 376: A Stroll with Zi Ya

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: A Stroll with Zi Ya

A flash of white light appeared on Shi Feng, and then it disappeared as quickly as it had come.

Having devoured the Power of Death, blood, and Soul Power of a Nine-star Martial Sect of the Dark Elf Clan man, and augmented by the recent consumption of the Kirin Earth Fire from a Sixth-stage Peak Kirin King, the entire Power of Death and blood of the Dongfang Family, along with that of the One-star Martial Venerable, the Heavenly Demon Supreme, and numerous Powers of Death and fresh blood from the Heavenly Demon Sect and Yin Ghost Sect, Shi Feng finally took that step and broke through from the Martial Sect to enter the Martial Venerable Realm.

The flash of white light on Shi Feng’s body was fleeting, but each member of the Snake-man Clan watched with great attention, recognizing it as...the white light that appears when one breaks through in the Martial Arts Realm.

The Snake-man Clan members looked at Shi Feng in a daze.

"Lord Shi Feng... our Snake-man Clan’s messenger has just broken through like this!"

"He... he broke through... this means that the already powerful Lord Messenger, he, has become even stronger!"

"No wonder... no wonder Lord Snake God chose him to be the messenger!"

"Brother Shi Feng..."

Confronting the gazes from the Snake-man Clan members looking his way, Shi Feng did not take them to heart, as he had already seen too many such looks, and was well accustomed to it.

There was no helping it; who told him he was an exceptional evil demon with astonishing Martial Arts Talent, who had been through two lives and had once been a strong man at the Peak of Nine-star Martial Emperor. In the realm of Martial Arts, he didn’t need to comprehend the profound mysteries of Martial Arts like other martial artists, whose Primordial Power had to be sufficient and then needed a thorough understanding before breaking through to the next realm.

Take, for instance, the State Preceptor of the Yunlai Empire, Nalan Yuan, who had been stuck in the Nine-star Martial King Realm for over twenty years. The power of his Dantian had long reached its limit, but due to his limited talent in Martial Arts, even after more than twenty years of trying to comprehend it, he was unable to breach this checkpoint.

At that moment, Shi Feng moved his left hand downwards, turning into a claw. Instantly, the head of the Dark Elf man, which was the only part of him still intact, flew into Shi Feng’s Claw Heart, and then Shi Feng flung the Dark Elf’s head towards a robust man from the Snake-man Clan named Oba, saying, "Hang this at the gate of our Snake-man Clan Territory, send people to spread the news through the desert lands, letting all races know that our Snake-man Clan is declaring war on the Dark Elf Clan!"

The middle-aged Snake-man named Oba, who had initially been just as dazed as the other clan members while looking at Shi Feng, instinctively caught the head when Shi Feng threw it over, then came to his senses after hearing Shi Feng’s words.

This middle-aged Snake-man could be understood as a lover of war by his very words, and once he regained his senses from what Shi Feng had said, he immediately spoke with high fighting spirit, "Rest assured Lord Messenger! I will deal with this at once! I will not fail my duty, and I will make sure that all the races know that we, the Snake-man Clan, have declared war on the Dark Elf Clan! Haha! Hahahaha!"

Oba raised the head of the Dark Elf and laughed heartily. Then, with a swift movement, he shot upwards through the large hole in the Priest Hall, charging into the night sky. Although his figure vanished into the night, the sound of Oba’s voice continued to echo.

Soon after, the old Priestess swept her gaze over the Snake-men in the Priest Hall and spoke, "The night has grown deep, all of you should go back and rest well. I expect that by tomorrow, the Dark Elf Clan will not be able to restrain themselves and will launch an attack on us!"

"Then we shall take our leave!"

"Goodbye Lord Messenger, Priest Lord!"

"Farewell!"

Then, one by one, members of the Snake-man Race began to take their leave. Among those departing Snake-men, some wore faces marked with worry and unease, others were filled with anticipation, and there were even those who, like Oba, showed signs of excitement.

The battle between the Snake-man Race and the Dark Elf Clan, which would determine who would survive and who would perish, was likely to be revealed tomorrow. It all rested on the prowess of this formidable Human Clan warrior.

Soon, the Snake-men in the Priest Hall successively departed, leaving only Shi Feng, Zi Ya, and the Priestess behind.

"Brother Shi Feng!" Zi Ya looked at Shi Feng and called out softly, her voice frail.

"Cough, cough! It’s so late; I should go to sleep as well. You young ones chat," the Priestess originally had some things she wanted to discuss with Shi Feng regarding the Purple Serpent Body and the Eight Separation Divine Serpent, as they related to the entire Snake-man Clan.

But at this moment, after giving Zi Ya and Shi Feng a glance, she cleared her throat and made her exit, her blue serpent tail swaying as she too left the Priest Hall.

Soon after, only Shi Feng and Zi Ya remained in the Priest Hall.

Hearing Zi Ya call out to him, Shi Feng turned his head towards her, and with a gentle smile, he said, "You mentioned last time that you wanted to give me a tour of the Territory of the Snake-man Clan, but it wasn’t convenient. Tonight, you can be my guide and show me around properly."

"Mhm! Sure!" Zi Ya responded to Shi Feng’s words, nodding vehemently with a blossoming smile, like a beautiful, vibrant flower.

Afterward, Shi Feng and Zi Ya gradually left the Priest Hall together.

At night, the temperature in the desert was vastly different from the day. As they stepped out from the Priest Hall, a cold wind blew through. Despite it being the dead of night, the Snake-man Clan Territory was still bright, with torches lit atop numerous stone pillars.

Shi Feng and Zi Ya strolled together through the Territory of the Snake-man Clan.

"Brother Shi Feng, I didn’t expect that in just a few short months, you would achieve so much. Your talent is truly extraordinary!" Walking alongside Shi Feng, Zi Ya exclaimed with a hint of wonder, "I feel like the you I see now is completely different from the Shi Feng I met last time."

Hearing Zi Ya’s words, Shi Feng shook his head slightly and smiled, saying, "I am still me, still the Brother Shi Feng you know. No matter what my achievements may be or what my status becomes, I will always be the same ’me.’ No matter how many years pass, no matter where I might be then, if you ever need anything, just break the Jade Scroll I gave you, and I will definitely come to your aid at the first opportunity!"

"I know. Brother Shi Feng is still the same Brother Shi Feng; it’s just that something in my heart feels different. When we first met, we were both in the Martial King Realm. Now, you have become the person who has slain a Four-star Martial Venerable from the Human Clan. The contrast is so stark; I just haven’t quite adjusted to it yet.

Back then, when I heard the name Shi Feng in our territory, I thought of you, but then I figured it couldn’t possibly be you. And now, to think that the Mad Demon Shi Feng, the one accused in rumors of atrocious acts, devoid of all morality, was actually you," said Zi Ya with a chuckle.

As she reached the end of her statement, Zi Ya couldn’t help but laugh, "But I know that you, Brother Shi Feng, are not that kind of villain. Rumors are just rumors, and Zi Ya does not believe them."
