Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 687 - 675: Nine Nether Floating Light Array

Chapter 687: Chapter 675: Nine Nether Floating Light Array

The Dark Corpse Army swarmed down like a plague of locusts, and along the way, Shi Feng and the Dark Corpse Army still encountered more than a dozen mysterious and ferocious creatures. These creatures all exuded an aura from ancient times, and belonged to the category of Ancient Fierce Beasts!

Among them was a black creature resembling a crocodile, which was at the Ninth-stage One-star Emperor Realm, but in the end, it was still bisected by Di Sha with a single slash.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!" Sounds of landing echoed incessantly as Shi Feng finally reached the valley floor with the Dark Corpse Army. Here, too, the dense, majestic black fog pervaded.

From before till now, Shi Feng had been pondering what exactly this black fog was and why Luo Qingming had sent him a message instructing the Luo Family members to not disperse this black fog.

Then, Shi Feng scanned the surroundings with his eyes while sensing with his Soul Power. Following that, Shi Feng saw that right in front of where he was standing, lay a dense cluster of Human Clan corpses, at least thirty or more.

Afterward, Shi Feng moved quickly and flew towards that location. As Shi Feng’s feet touched the ground again, he lowered his head to inspect the corpses scattered on the ground.

These corpses must have been dead for around ten days. On their faces, Shi Feng saw eyes wide open in horror, a clear indication that in their last moments, they encountered something tremendously frightening!

All these corpses were indeed from the Luo Family.

The Luo Family ancestor had decreed that their descendants should protect Undying Mountain for generations. Yet now, Undying Mountain had become these Luo Family members’ graveyard!

Fortunately, Shi Feng did not find the corpses of his disciple, Luo Qingchuan, or his grand-disciple, Xueh Wuheng, among these Luo Family members.

Then, Shi Feng’s gaze shifted away from the Luo Family bodies and continued to scan the valley shrouded in black fog, extending his Soul Thought to feel out the area.

"Where could Luo Qingchuan and Xueh Wuheng have gone? What is their current situation?" Shi Feng murmured to himself again.

Shi Feng had sensed that the valley was vast, which meant a slow search was in order.

Shi Feng had the Dark Corpse Army at his command; normally sending these Yin Corpses to scatter and search would be the fastest approach. However, Shi Feng considered each Yin Corpse precious and feared an accident might befall them.

"Forget it, for the sake of my unworthy disciple, let’s take the risk. If there are any losses, I’ll settle the score with him later!"

In an instant, Shi Feng willed his thought, and the densely packed Yin Corpse Army scattered in all directions.

Shi Feng stood still in place, quietly waiting. It wasn’t long before Shi Feng’s eyes moved slightly. A group of Yin Corpses sent him a message; they had discovered something.

Immediately, Shi Feng sent out a mental command, and all the dispersed Yin Corpse Group headed in that direction, while he himself took the lead and flew swiftly towards it.

"Boom!" As Shi Feng drew near that place, suddenly, a booming sound came from ahead.

"Boom!" Another booming sound followed closely.

Then, Shi Feng saw that amid the rolling black fog ahead, streaks of ghostly white light flashed, and ghostly white Runes fluttered. Shi Feng naturally recognized that those ghostly white lights and Runes were from the Nine Nether Martial Way he had imparted.

"Xueh Wuheng!" From far away, Shi Feng caught a glimpse of a white figure in the thick black fog, amidst the pale glow — flickering in and out of visibility. Recognizing the figure with just a glance, Shi Feng knew it was none other than Qin Rufan’s disciple, the disciple’s grandson — Xueh Wuheng!

At that moment, Xueh Wuheng also seemed to sense someone’s approach, and immediately turned around, his gaze locked onto Shi Feng as he exclaimed, "Little Uncle Master! You’ve come too!"

"Hm?" Shi Feng’s form appeared in front of Xueh Wuheng, and upon seeing Xueh Wuheng’s current state, his brow furrowed!

Now, Xueh Wuheng lacked his usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor. At this moment, he looked utterly disheveled, his face smeared with dirt, his white robes torn, and his long hair a mess.

Moreover, his body was trapped within an array. It was, to his surprise, the Nine Nether Floating Light Array that he himself had created years ago!

"It was Luo Qingchuan who used the Nine Nether Floating Light Array to trap you here?" Seeing his own Nine Nether Floating Light Array, Shi Feng turned to Xueh Wuheng and asked.

"That’s right, it was Master Luo!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Xueh Wuheng hurriedly responded:

"After we entered this place, we encountered a group of terrifying creatures. Even Uncle Luo nearly lost his life defending against them. Fearing that I might encounter danger, Master Luo used the Floating Light Array to seal me here. Then he led the Luo Family martial artists to fight those terrifying creatures."

Shi Feng’s right hand formed a seal and with a single palm strike towards Xueh Wuheng, the Nine Nether Floating Light Array that surrounded Xueh Wuheng instantly dispersed under Shi Feng’s strike! The pale glows and pale runes immediately vanished along with it.

Then, Shi Feng spoke again, asking Xueh Wuheng, "Where is Luo Qingchuan? Where is he now?"

"I’m not sure!" Xueh Wuheng replied. He added, "After Uncle Luo sealed me here, he led the Luo Family martial artists to attack those monsters. Then, his figure gradually disappeared from my sight, and he has not returned since then."

Shi Feng had finally met Xueh Wuheng, originally thinking he would know of Luo Qingchuan’s whereabouts, but now, once again, the young man’s trail had gone cold.

Next, Shi Feng asked, "After you descended, did you discover anything?"

"Apart from those terrifying monsters, there’s been no other discovery; I’ve been trapped here by the Nine Nether Floating Light Array all along! Alas!" Xueh Wuheng sighed softly as he spoke:

"I originally came to Undying Mountain to help Master Luo. I never imagined that I would be so useless, not only failing to provide any assistance but instead becoming his burden!"

"Alright! Enough of the regrets," Shi Feng said. "In which direction did Luo Qingchuan and the others head?"

"This way!" Xueh Wuheng stretched out his hand, pointing in the opposite direction from where Shi Feng had come, and replied.

Following that, Shi Feng’s gaze also turned in the direction Xueh Wuheng was pointing. Then, turning back to Xueh Wuheng, he said, "Let’s go!"

"Okay!" Xueh Wuheng nodded, and together with Shi Feng, they moved swiftly, flying toward the direction Luo Qingchuan had headed on that day.

As the two men moved, a dense and massive Dark Corpse Army followed closely behind, flying in pursuit!

When Xueh Wuheng sensed a powerful force behind him and looked back, he saw Di Sha flying in the rear, and internally exclaimed in shock, "My goodness! My little Uncle Master has truly subdued the Corpse Emperor! He really is the epitome of an evil demon, always doing what others wouldn’t dare even think of!"
