CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: PRESIDENT MIE YUNKONG

Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.

The first thing the Netherworld King did upon returning was to inform Tianji Zi of the events.

"A formidable expert at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation!" Tianji Zi was taken aback.

"Does Young Master Feng actually know such a transcendent expert?" Several elders widened their old eyes, evidently terrified by the news.

Wasn’t Gu Chenfeng just a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect?

Even with a powerful Pill Formula, it would be impossible to enlist the help of a Tribulation Stage expert.

"Not only does he know him," the Netherworld King frowned and said, "this person seems to hold Young Master Feng in high regard, utterly obedient to him. Even knowing the enemy was a Guardian of the Profound Cyan Sect, he killed without hesitation, showing no fear of Penglai Immortal Island."

With the Netherworld King’s words.

Tianji Zi and several elders were once again shocked, their eyes stretched to the extreme.

"A formidable expert at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation holds Young Master Feng in high regard?"

"Could it be he comes from the same force as Young Master Feng?"

"He isn’t afraid of Penglai Immortal Island?"

The faces of Tianji Zi and several elders drastically changed again, as their hearts stirred up colossal waves.

Tianji Zi took a deep breath, asking, "Do you know who he is?"

"I don’t know who he is," the Netherworld King shook his head and said, "I have never seen him, nor do I know which force he comes from. In any case, his strength is terrifying, perhaps stronger than the Earth Ancestor."

"What? Stronger than the Earth Ancestor?"

"That’s impossible, isn’t it? The Earth Ancestor possesses immensely powerful Earth Attribute Spiritual Power, acclaimed as the strongest defense in the Cultivation Realm. How could he be a match for the Earth Ancestor?"

"Impossible! The Earth Ancestor is unmatched below the Mahayana Stage. Even a Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation expert, no matter how formidable, cannot be a match for the Earth Ancestor."

Tianji Zi and several elders were shocked and found it hard to believe.

They were more aware than anyone of how terrifying the strength of the Earth Ancestor at Ancient God Mountain was.

The Netherworld King frowned and gravely said, "The strength of the Earth Ancestor is naturally terrifying, but this person possesses an Ancient Demon Fire, and his Fire Attribute Spiritual Power is even more frightening than the Fire Spirit Race."

"An Ancient Demon Fire?"

"How is that possible? Ancient Demon Fire is extremely rare; we have never seen it."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible for it to be an Ancient Demon Fire!"

Tianji Zi and several elders were frightened, their eyeballs nearly popping out, unable to believe.

Demon Fire is an exceptionally rare treasure of heaven and earth, with very few people possessing it.

Moreover, Ancient Demon Fire is even rarer than Demon Fire, an encounter that’s unattainable and many times stronger than Demon Fire.

Countless experts in the Cultivation Realm have only heard of it, never witnessed an Ancient Demon Fire.

Who on earth is this powerful?

Who in the Cultivation Realm possesses an Ancient Demon Fire?

An elder, not quite convinced, asked, "Netherworld King, are you sure it’s an Ancient Demon Fire?"

"Absolutely certain," the Netherworld King confidently said, "Golden flames, extremely violent and terrifying flame aura, accompanied by an Ancient Aura, exactly as the ancient texts describe the Ancient Demon Fire."

Tianji Zi resisted his shock, frowning in confusion and said, "If it’s indeed as the Netherworld King says, it must be an Ancient Demon Fire, yet no one in the Cultivation Realm has been heard to possess an Ancient Demon Fire."

"The Fire Spirit Race has searched for the Ancient Demon Fire for years without finding it; there’s even rumors the Ancient Demon Fire has gained intelligence, making it extremely difficult to find."

An elder exclaimed with envy, "To obtain an Ancient Demon Fire, this person must truly be extraordinarily lucky."

The Netherworld King added, "First Elder, this time the Profound Cyan Sect acted, that Guardian laid a formidable Barrier, my transmission could not reach back the association, if not for Young Master Feng hurrying back, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Hmm," Tianji Zi frowned gravely and said, "I have promised Young Master Feng, yet almost brought harm to the Ancient Divine Sect, the association must sincerely apologize to Young Master Feng, and must take responsibility."

Second Elder squinted his eyes coldly, saying, "Since the Profound Cyan Sect shows no regard for our association, there’s nothing for the association to worry about. Since we’ve promised Young Master Feng, the association will take this matter to the end."

The Netherworld King continued gravely, "First Elder, this time all Profound Cyan Sect members have perished, Yun Mo Xian will not let this go, and they have Penglai Immortal Island behind them. I think we must report this to the Earth Ancestor."

"With Earth Ancestor stepping in, Penglai Immortal Island might also show consideration to Earth Ancestor, and Earth Ancestor might know the origin of that expert at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation."

Tianji Zi nodded solemnly, said, "The chairperson should also come out of retreat."

...

Ancient God Mountain Forbidden Area.

This place is situated on the rear mountain of the association, a primitive mountain range.

The Forbidden Area of Ancient God Mountain lies at the very center of the range.

Atop a mountain peak stands an ancient palace, surrounded by a massive Sealing Array.

Within the Sealing Array, the association’s chairperson has been cultivating for many years.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

Outside the Sealing Array, Tianji Zi, several elders, and the Netherworld King appeared in a flash.

First, they respectfully bowed, and Tianji Zi respectfully said, "Chairperson, I have a significant matter to report."

"Buzz, buzz!"

After a while, the Sealing Array slightly trembled, then emitted a bright blue light, and the Array vanished into thin air.

"Tianji Zi, I have stated before, do not disturb unless in times of life and death crisis," a venerable voice full of authoritative intensity echoed in the ancient palace.

Tianji Zi respectfully replied, "Chairperson, this matter concerns Penglai Immortal Island."

As Tianji Zi’s voice fell.

From the ancient palace, a burst of blue light suddenly shot forth, appearing instantly before Tianji Zi and the others.

After the blue light diffused, a white-haired elder with a white robe emerged, exuding an ethereal celestial aura.

The white-robed elder was none other than the chairperson of the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, Mie Yunkong.

Mie Yunkong, even with suppressed aura, still emitted an immensely powerful presence.

This was the Realm of Tribulation Stage.

"Chairperson," Tianji Zi and others respectfully greeted.

Mie Yunkong frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Tianji Zi then recounted the events.

"Gu Chenfeng? Ancient Demon Fire?" Mie Yunkong’s old face showed several signs of severity, muttering to himself, "Gu Chenfeng...this name..."

Seeing Mie Yunkong’s solemn expression, Tianji Zi asked, "Chairperson, do you know who possesses the Ancient Demon Fire?"

"I’ve never heard," Mie Yunkong slightly shook his head, "Ancient Demon Fire is a rare treasure in the world, possessing it indicates this person’s strength is extremely strong, perhaps only the Earth Ancestor knows who it is."

"Chairperson, this matter concerns Penglai Immortal Island, we probably need to request the Earth Ancestor to come out," an elder quickly spoke.

Tianji Zi continued, "If the Profound Cyan Sect acts again, there may be experts from Penglai Immortal Island involved, only the Earth Ancestor can intimidate them."

Mie Yunkong nodded and said, "The Earth Ancestor has been out of retreat for half a month, and is currently producing an Eighth Grade..."

Mie Yunkong’s words were interrupted.

An elder voice, plain and calm, resonated: "The Ancient Demon Fire you speak of should be the Yao Hun."

"Yao Hun?" Mie Yunkong and Tianji Zi’s faces changed simultaneously.

"Yao Hun?" The Netherworld King was shocked and said, "Could it be Yao Hun, foremost among the Medicine God Hall’s ten Venerables?"

"Medicine God Hall!" Mie Yunkong, Tianji Zi, and several others’ faces changed once more.
