Chapter 713: Chapter 701: Nine Nether Puppetry Art

"What!"

"What!"

"What!"

A flurry of shocked cries erupted from the group of Martial Artists. Although they had guessed that the Vajra Sect Elder was dead, just like Du Yan, upon hearing someone confirming it, they couldn’t help but let out these exclamations!

Two Martial Venerable powerhouses, indeed, had died so inexplicably and mysteriously!

If it were only one person’s death, that would be understandable, but two people had died one after another! Greater panic spread amongst them than ever before.

"Dead, another one dead! These two who hurled us towards death have actually met their own demise first!" Yue Shaochong sneered to himself as he watched the crowd.

Then, Yue Shaochong thought to himself, "Could it be that someone is secretly helping us?" With this thought, he scanned the crowd, where the only people he recognized were the two detestable lovers—Murong Kang and Tian Qingqing.

"But, they’d never be so kindhearted! They would rather see me dead!" Yue Shaochong muttered again in his heart.

Scanning the crowd, his gaze finally rested on Shi Feng. Yue Shaochong shook his head decidedly to himself and said, "How could it be possible, Little Shi is just a One-star Martial Emperor Realm Little Martial Practitioner!"

"Perhaps, among these people, there is a hidden peerless master? Someone who kills without a trace, who couldn’t bear to watch us two young talents die like this, who disdained the arrogance of those two, and thus eliminated those evil-doers."

Yue Shaochong speculated in his heart.

"Could it be... Could it be they killed Du Yan and Jin Shen? Think about it, both of them urged us to push the Bronze Gate just before they died, and then they were gone!"

At that moment, a Martial Artist recalling the scene right before Du Yan and Jin Shen’s death, connected the dots and pointed toward Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong, saying.

"Could these two be hidden peerless powerhouses, capable of killing without a trace!"

Once his words were out, someone immediately retorted, "How is that possible! Remember, those two were initially forced to be cannon fodder. If they had such ability, why would they agree to be cannon fodder!"

"That... that’s true! They were indeed cannon fodder just now! So... so why exactly did these two die, and moreover, it seems they said the same thing and did the same thing right before their deaths."

"Could it be that their last words are a taboo in front of this Bronze Palace, that saying those words would bring a curse and death?" A Martial Artist, pondering their last words, exclaimed in alarm.

Upon hearing the Martial Artist’s words, many people began to recall the last words uttered by Du Yan and Jin Shen.

Du Yan’s last words were, "Do you really want to die?"

Jin Shen’s last words were, "Looking for death, are you?"

"Could ’Do you really want to die?’ and ’Looking for death, are you?’ be a taboo in this Bronze Palace?" People speculated in their hearts, but no one dared to say it aloud, fearing that by speaking, they would trigger the curse and share the same fate as Du Yan and Jin Shen.

However, there were also many who speculated that urging someone to open those Bronze Gates is forbidden, as Du Yan and Jin Shen had done by urging the two to push the gates.

At that moment, Shi Feng slowly turned around, looking at the crowd of Martial Artists before him. He saw them guessing, many with solemn expressions, and a good number visibly panic-stricken and uneasy.

At that point, Yue Shaochong whispered to Shi Feng, "Little Shi Feng, let’s not try to open the gate just yet. Whoever suggests we push it, is likely to die!"

Upon hearing Yue Shaochong’s words, Shi Feng grinned. He naturally wouldn’t push it, and if anyone wanted him to, well, they could just go die!

Those two scumbags earlier, they were just ignorant, and they were killed by the shock of his Soul Power!

For Shi Feng, killing two Martial Venerable Realm nobodies was as simple as a thought.

"Given the circumstances, I think we should stop overthinking and just open the gate!" said a Martial Artist in a deep voice at this juncture. The one speaking was a powerful Three-star Martial Venerable from the Heavenly Cold Sect, Sect Leader Han Long.

"I believe everyone wouldn’t want to retreat right at the doorstep of these Ancient Relics," Han Long finished, casting his gaze towards Beiyuan City’s City Lord, Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi, seeing Han Long look towards him, nodded slightly and added solemnly, "Brother Han is right. At this time, we should prioritize opening the gate to enter the Bronze Palace."

"But who will open the gate? Don’t forget, Du Yan and Jin Shen were cursed and died just for pushing it!" spoke an Elder of the Martial Venerable Realm at that moment.

Indeed! The deaths of Du Yan and Jin Shen very likely resulted from them attempting to push the gate and triggering the curse of the Bronze Palace!

There had already been two cannon fodders ahead, but with the lesson learned from Du Yan and Jin Shen, no one dared to call out for others to push the gate, nor dared to tell someone to be cannon fodder and try!

Suddenly, the crowd fell into silence again. The two doors were shrouded in unknown dangers—Who would dare risk their life to push them?

Shi Feng was also sizing up the crowd in front of him. At first, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the fierce beast patterns on the two Bronze Gates. But gradually, he began to feel that the gates seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

It was only later that he remembered!

Looking over the crowd, Shi Feng quickly identified his targets for pushing the gates: the so-called youthful prodigy from the Shaoyang Sword Sect, Yang Xin, who had arrogantly made them crawl through tunnels before.

And then, there was that fellow with the imposing name, the top Disciple of the Overbearing Sect—Ba Wudi—who had once dared to look down upon him!

In an instant, Shi Feng’s mind stirred, activating his Soul Power—employing the Nine Nether Soul Puppet Technique, he swiftly took control of the souls of those two from afar!

"I... my body!" Just at that moment, Ba Wudi suddenly let out a roar of fury. "What is going on?"

After hearing Ba Wudi’s roar, everyone’s gaze swiftly shifted back to him!

"My body! It’s out of my control!" Following that, another voice echoed, and many recognized him as the talented young man from the Shaoyang Sword Sect, Yang Xin!

Immediately after, the crowd saw both Yang Xin and Ba Wudi suddenly leap up from amongst them, swiftly flying towards the front!

Both their souls were now under the manipulation of Shi Feng. Controlling their souls meant he could directly control their physical bodies as well!

"What are they trying to do?" the people wondered aloud, looking at Ba Wudi and Yang Xin.

"Didn’t that Yang Xin just shout that his body was out of control? Yet, look at them fly—they’re so fast... And their bodies seem to be quite agile too!"
