Chapter 737: Chapter 725 Yue Shaochong’s Goddess

The young man in purple suddenly lifted his head, his features contorted in ferocity as he glared at Shi Feng, "You! How dare you treat me like this! You!"

But before the last word "you" could leave the young man in purple’s lips, Shi Feng’s right hand squeezed harder, tightly clutching his throat. He said coldly, "What wouldn’t I dare! To kill you, a piece of trash, is no different from killing a dog for me!"

"You!" Even with his throat seized, the young man in purple, who had never suffered such humiliation, exerted all his strength to spit out another "you."

However, the more he struggled, the tighter Shi Feng squeezed his throat, "Uh! Uh uh uh!" Until he could no longer speak and was on the verge of asphyxiation, suddenly, he saw the young man dig his right hand, shaped like a claw, into his own chest!

"Hmm? Suicide?" By the time Shi Feng noticed, he could see blood continuously flowing from the man’s chest, spilling onto the desert below.

Following that, Shi Feng saw the purple figure become mist-like, turning elusive, and seeming very unreal!

And his own right hand that had been grabbing the man’s throat felt as if it were grasping at air.

"What’s going on?"

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha!" At this time, the purple figure became even more blurred, and the young man in purple’s laughter echoed, "Just you wait, you wait for me! How dare you treat me this way, I will surely make you pay a thousandfold, I will come back to take your head!"

As the laughter faded, the blurred purple figure completely vanished into the void, and at this moment, Shi Feng saw a palm-sized pitch-black object falling downward.

Shi Feng reached out and caught the black object in his hand, and upon closer examination, he realized that the young man in purple had used this black object to save his own life by committing a faux suicide!

This very item was the black Puppet Doll that had fallen from the Dark Elf Prince Asc when Shi Feng had slain him, identical in every way.

A mysterious item refined by an ancient Dark Alchemy Master!

That this man possessed such an item, and that he had a Two-star Martial Emperor as an elderly companion calling him Young Lord and urging him to flee even before dying, indicated that his background must be from a rather significant power.

Then, setting aside his thoughts, Shi Feng flipped his right hand and tossed the black Puppet Doll into his Storage Ring.

"Young Master Feng, if I’m not mistaken, those two should be from the Corpse Profound Sect!" At that moment, Yue Shaochong approached Shi Feng and said.

Due to Shi Feng displaying ever more formidable strength, Yue Shaochong had changed his way of addressing him from "Little Shi Feng" to "Young Master Feng."

"Oh, you recognize them?" Shi Feng uttered a light "oh" as he looked toward Yue Shaochong.

Yue Shaochong explained, "I’ve never seen them with my own eyes, but I’ve heard of them. In our North Domain, there’s a powerful hidden Sect known as the Corpse Profound Sect. It’s said that these people cultivate using the dead, turning themselves into something akin to corpses.

Seeing how these two resembled the dead, I guessed they must be from the Corpse Profound Sect."

After hearing Yue Shaochong’s words, Shi Feng nodded slightly, then said, "Let’s not bother with these Dead Man Sects anymore and continue our search!"

Right now, he had more pressing matters at hand; the White-haired Poisonous Woman was still unlocated.

"Mm!"

Subsequently, Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong continued their search across the desert.

...

In the heart of a dark, seemingly perennially lightless underground hall, suddenly, a purple shadow began to slowly materialize. Gradually, the shadow became more substantial, revealing the figure of a young boy dressed in purple.

This young man was none other than the one who had been throttled by Shi Feng in the Ancient Relics before taking his own life.

"I’m resurrected! I am resurrected!" The youth stretched out his hands, his eyes intensely focused on his own hands, on his own body, as he muttered to himself.

His expression soon changed, a fierce light glinting in his eyes as he viciously said, "Who knows where that mongrel sprang from! To dare treat me this way! To dare treat me so! Revenge! I must have revenge! I will break off his head, chop his body into pieces, and feed him to the dogs! Ah!"

As the young lord spoke, his voice grew louder until he let out an extended roar of rage! He was the Young Lord of the Corpse Profound Sect, and not once, throughout his life, had anyone dared to treat him like this!

"I must find my father! I will lead the strong members of my Corpse Profound Sect into those Ancient Relics!"

...

Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong had been searching the desolate desert skies for about an hour but still had not found a trace of the White-haired Poisonous Woman.

Yue Shaochong said, "Young Master Feng, this world is so vast, it’s exceedingly difficult to find one person! What’s more, with so many Ancient Monster Beasts here, perhaps the White-haired Poisonous Woman has already been devoured."

"We must keep looking, we have to find her," Shi Feng said with unwavering determination.

This man, why doesn’t it seem like he’s after the ten million Primordial Stones, but rather... rather like he’s searching for his lover? Could it be that he has some secret affair with the White-haired Poisonous Woman?

Watching Shi Feng, Yue Shaochong pondered silently.

"Eh?" Then, Yue Shaochong let out a sound of surprise, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across a stretch of desert below, where a white silhouette was visible.

However, upon seeing that the figure had long, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, Yue Shaochong immediately dismissed the idea of her being the White-haired Poisonous Woman. "This person, from the back, she looks like the Holy Maiden of the Three Lives Sect, Shig Lingrou!"

Yue Shaochong pointed to the white silhouette below and said to Shi Feng.

"You can tell just from the back?" Shi Feng asked curiously. However, he also sensed that the person indeed possessed a Martial Arts Realm of a Two-star Martial Venerable, which matched the description Yue Shaochong had given of her when they entered the Bronze Palace.

"Of course, as for such a goddess, even if she turned to ashes, I would recognize her," Yue Shaochong declared confidently.

After hearing Yue Shaochong’s words, Shi Feng cracked a faint smile and said, "Let’s go down and ask."

At this point, indeed, it was very difficult to find someone in this vast world. Their only chance was to ask passersby and try their luck.

"Alright!" Yue Shaochong responded with a smile. Such a goddess, especially one with exceptional talent and such eminent status, was someone who Yue Shaochong had very little chance to approach; goddesses were typically surrounded by countless Flower Protectors.

And those whose Martial Arts Realm had not reached the Martial Venerable level had no qualifications to become a Flower Protector for a goddess.

Yet now here was the goddess, walking alone across this desolate desert. Perhaps... perhaps this was a big opportunity to get to know the goddess better!

Soon I shall descend before the goddess in my most dashing manner. Perhaps upon seeing me, she will take one look and fall deeply in love, feeling that I am the one she has been waiting for all her life, and then we shall pledge ourselves to each other in secret!
