Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1268 - 1253: Peeping!
Facing the pleading female ghost before him, Shi Feng's face remained unchanged, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"You should go back first and let me think about this! Also, stay away from the woman in that side room; her powerful soul power, combined with the soul attack technique, is no longer what it used to be!"
The Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal was something he personally taught Jiangg Ning, so he naturally knew its subtleties and power.
Whether there exists a more powerful and exquisite soul attack technique on this Wilderness Continent, Shi Feng did not know.
But Shi Feng knew that Jiangg Ning, using the soul attack technique he taught, the "Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal," was enough to deal with this female ghost.
Hearing Shi Feng telling her to leave, the female ghost's face, pale as paper, changed again, and her pitiful expression deepened as she cried out sorrowfully to Shi Feng: "Master...please..."
Seeing her even more distressful appearance, Shi Feng immediately interrupted her, saying: "Alright, enough, just go. I will consider it."
"Yes...Master..."
Since Shi Feng had said so, the female ghost responded lowly, then lowered her misty upper body, with her head closely pressed to the ground, deeply bowing towards Shi Feng from her already kneeling posture.
"Go." Seeing this, Shi Feng urged her to leave again.
Immediately after, the female ghost's body, like mist, slowly dissipated in front of Shi Feng, and at that moment, she finally went away.
With the departure of the female ghost, the fierce, cold, dark, and murky atmosphere in the room began to gradually dissipate.
Gradually, everything returned to its original state, revealing the elegant, peaceful, and bright guest room.
"Is it over, boss?" Seeing everything return to normal, Huo Yu at the door asked aloud.
"It's over." Shi Feng responded calmly, but Huo Yu, looking at Shi Feng's calm expression and usual tone, could sense that this "demon" seemed to have something on his mind at this moment.
"Boss, what are you planning?" At this time, Huo Yu walked over to Shi Feng and asked him.
What he asked was whether Shi Feng would help the female ghost.
Whether to stand against Chuan Mu or leave the Wuchuan Wasteland City and proceed directly to the Heavenly Tower Desert using the Space Transmission Array.
Shi Feng still looked indifferent, looked at Huo Yu, and asked him: "If it were you, how would you choose?"
"Me?" Huo Yu said: "Though Chuan Mu is worse than a pig or dog, it is still a matter between him and his daughter, and it has nothing to do with us. Chuan Mu has been rather courteous to us, even bringing out the precious Blood Flower Tea for hospitality.
Moreover, Chuan Mu is a strong Six-star Demigod, even if we help that female ghost, how could we help?
Kill Chuan Mu? With my strength, there's no way to kill him; unless you, boss, have other means, that's a different story!
Help the female ghost liberate that body? If discovered by Chuan Mu, unless you, boss, have other means to deal with him, we might never leave this Wuchuan Wasteland City.
That body is probably more important to Chuan Mu than anything else!"
That Divine Coffin, when they were traversing the Dark Space, had already escaped; Shi Feng now no longer had any means to deal with Chuan Mu.
After speaking, seeing Shi Feng remained silent, Huo Yu continued, "Moreover, boss, we don't even know if what this female ghost says is true. Perhaps, it's all fabricated lies, only the parties involved know the truth, and we should stay out of it."
"She didn't lie." Shi Feng, after hearing this, opened his mouth.
Then he said: "She is a ghost body, and when she spoke to me, she completely opened her mind, proving her words are true. If she was lying, I could sense it from her soul fluctuation."
"Alright! But I still think we shouldn't meddle in this." Huo Yu replied.
"I know what to do!" Shi Feng said.
Then he added to Huo Yu: "You haven't rested during this journey, go rest for a while."
"Okay!" Huo Yu nodded to Shi Feng and then left the room.
After leaving the room and closing the door, Huo Yu shook his head and smiled: "What am I thinking? This is a demon who commits all kinds of evil without scruples! Hasn't he done enough evil himself? Why would he care about others? Just now, I was really foolish."
Muttering self-deprecatingly, Huo Yu entered the adjacent guest room.
After Huo Yu left, Shi Feng still stood in the middle of the guest room, murmuring to himself: "I am not someone who meddles in other people's affairs..."
He then discarded all distracting thoughts, and his body suddenly glowed with a bloody light, and when the blood light stopped, Shi Feng had disappeared, leaving only a fingertip-sized small blood-colored Stele in the guest room.
When Shi Feng reappeared, his figure was already in the space of the Blood Stone Stele, right under the Flame Tree radiating a scorching aura.
Then, Shi Feng sat cross-legged under the Flame Tree, forming a handprint with both hands, and slowly closed his eyes.
Using the Flame Tree, Shi Feng began to contemplate the Soul Dao.
With the Mysterious Force of the Flame Tree, his thoughts became exceedingly clear and lucid, and with the help of Jiangg Ning's soul thought, Shi Feng gradually mastered the Soul Power of the Demigod Realm, which had previously been elusive to him.
What once seemed very vague gradually became clearer and clearer.
It was suddenly clear, "So that's how it is!"
Immediately, Shi Feng was fully immersed in it, so deeply that for a moment, it seemed that nothing else mattered to him.
...
In a mysterious place in the City Lord Mansion of Wuchuan Wasteland City, in a dimly lit underground room, City Lord Chuan Mu stood in this dark world, looking at a dark object suspended in front of him, resembling a Dark Crystal.
The Dark Crystal was prismatic, as big as a baby's body, floating up and down slowly before Chuan Mu, as if it was alive.
At this moment, in this Dark Crystal, a scene appeared; it was of a quiet and secluded guest room with a fingertip-sized blood-colored stone stele floating within.
This guest room was none other than the one Shi Feng was in! Chuan Mu, using this mysterious Dark Crystal, was secretly watching Shi Feng's movements.
Neither Shi Feng nor Huo Yu had noticed before that they were being watched all along.
This Chuan Mu, previously respectful to Shi Feng and Huo Yu, just recently considered by Shi Feng and Huo Yu to be worse than a pig or dog, was this cunning.
