Chapter 760: Chapter 748: Strange Tales from the Tavern

In the streets of Guangsheng City, Guangsheng City Commander Li Xing felt a sudden chill at the back of his neck.

Then, he touched it with his right hand, found nothing unusual, and said to the Silver-armored Soldier next to him, "It’s nothing. Let’s keep moving!"

"Yes!" The Silver-armored Soldier responded and then they continued to follow the large troop, moving forward towards the City Lord Mansion in Guangsheng City.

"Alright, summon him tonight for questioning," Shi Feng muttered to himself, standing amidst the bustling crowd, watching the departing Silver-armored Battle Team and the Commander Li Xing mounted on a silver warhorse.

Then, he walked out of the crowd and headed to a tavern by the street.

The vibrant Guangsheng City was noisy even inside the tavern, filled with people as far as the eye could see.

Shi Feng found a corner near the window and sat down alone.

Soon, the waiter brought over a pot of fine wine and a dish of soy-simmered meat, and Shi Feng began to eat and drink. Now, he planned to wait for the evening to come.

"You know? Four days ago, another city in the North Domain was brutally massacred by that demon. Millions of people, millions, all dead! Again, a scene of corpses strewn everywhere, rivers of blood—it’s the fifth city to be slaughtered after Yunqin City was massacred!"

"It’s utterly inhumane!"

Not long after Shi Feng sat down, he heard an indignant voice.

Back in Beiyuan City, he had heard about the massacre in Yunqin City, where millions were slaughtered.

Now, he had not expected that during his time in the Ancient Relics, four more cities in the North Domain were massacred!

Following that, the image of the Blood Egg he had seen at Undying Mountain surfaced once more in Shi Feng’s mind.

Such brutality, slaughtering the Human Clan, must be the work of that monstrous beast!

Shi Feng thought fiercely!

At that moment, a Martial Artist spoke up, asking the indignant man, "Didn’t I hear that recently various forces had dispatched their strong people to campaign against that demon? Hasn’t that demon been killed by the strong people from these forces yet?"

"Ah!" Hearing the Martial Artist’s words, the indignant man sighed deeply and said, "Those strong people, it’s rumored that they all have fallen! Moreover, the people who found their bodies said that their eyes were wide open—clearly, they must have seen something terribly frightening before they died!"

"What! All those strong people have fallen!" Many in the tavern who heard this exclaimed in shock.

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "Among those strong people, I heard there were six from the Martial Emperor Realm! They... are all dead?"

As this person spoke, his voice trembled, his heart turning cold; to them, Martial Emperors were the peak strong people of the Human Clan, synonymous with invincibility.

"They’re dead! All of them are dead! Those six Martial Emperors were among the bodies found," the previous man nodded and said, his face showing a solemn expression.

"Ah!" Everyone who heard this news gasped in horror!

Some, their faces filled with extreme panic, said, "It’s chaos! Tianheng Continent is in chaos! Even six Martial Emperors couldn’t defeat that demon, so who can stop him now?

What a pity, what a pity, our Human Clan’s strongest, Emperor Nine Nether, perished fifteen years ago. If the Great Emperor were still here, how could that evil demon be so rampant? The fall of the Great Emperor really is a tragedy for our Human Clan!"

"Ah, yes!" Following this, a wave of regretful sighs echoed throughout the tavern.

People naturally recalled the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race that had taken place years ago!

About twenty-five years ago, under the leadership of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Race committed atrocities, amassing a million Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals to invade the Tianheng Continent and bring calamity to the world.

At that time, Emperor Nine Nether emerged from the Netherworld Purgatory, leading the Eight Ghost Generals, a million Ghost Soldiers, and his seven disciples to rally the strongest of the Human Clan and engage in battle with the Demon Race!

In the end, they annihilated a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers and Generals, and even the Demon Emperor was personally slain by Emperor Nine Nether atop Sky Demon Mountain, striking terror into the Demon Race!

That battle shocked the Tianheng Continent, and every member of the Human Clan took pride in their heritage.

It was just regrettable! Emperor Nine Nether, once the strongest, had fallen for reasons unknown! Truly a misfortune for the Human Clan!

At this moment, the tavern became unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!

The atmosphere in the entire tavern had also become oppressive.

Shi Feng continued savoring his wine, eating the marinated meat on his plate, with an indifferent expression as if the person they were discussing was not him.

After the atmosphere had been somber for a while, a Martial Artist suddenly spoke, "That monster that slaughtered the Five Cities of the North Domain, what kind of existence is it! If there ever comes a day when that monster reaches Guangsheng City, what should we do!"

"I heard that among the six Martial Emperors slain by that monster, one of them managed to engrave the monster’s appearance on a Jade Scroll before dying!

That monster... it looks like a baby, covered in blood-red stripes! Its eyes are blood-red, its face showing a fierce and frightening expression, just like a... Ghost Baby!"

"Ghost Baby!"

"Ghost Baby!"

"Ghost Baby!"

With the words ’Ghost Baby’ spoken, the already quiet tavern seemed to stir up gusts of chilling wind, making everyone feel as if the air had turned cold in that moment, with each breath feeling slightly cool.

"Blood-red stripes! Blood-red eyes! It seems that the one slaughtering the Five Cities of the North Domain is indeed that monstrous creature!" Shi Feng said coldly.

..

"Ghost Baby! Speaking of which, have you heard what happened at Corpse Profound Mountain a few days ago?" A young voice suddenly resounded.

"Corpse Profound Mountain? That’s the territory of those Corpse People and Corpse Profound Sect, isn’t it? What happened there?" someone asked.

"Oh, such a big matter. You don’t know about it!"

"Just a few days ago, rumors spread that an ancient creature, soaked in fresh blood, underwent tribulation in Corpse Profound Mountain, and from above the Nine Heavens, calamitous thunder descended!"

"Tribulation Thunder!" A Martial Artist, hearing about Heavenly Earth Calamity Thunder, immediately retorted, "You must be joking! That only exists in ancient legends, and it’s unclear whether it’s even true!

How could such Tribulation Thunder still descend in our world today!" This Martial Artist spoke with clear disbelief.

However, at that moment, a middle-aged Martial Artist with a square, honest-looking face spoke up, "You might not want to dismiss it so quickly! I’ve heard about this, and it indeed happened!"

"Yes! That’s right! I’ve also heard about it!"

"Yes! I’ve heard about this big news as well!"

Following that, the tavern was filled with voices of acknowledgment.
