Chapter 2162: Chapter 2429: Shengyan Lake!
The Lord of the Underworld didn’t expect the Demon Lord to mention the Ancient Vermilion Bird, feeling somewhat puzzled, yet he said, “Demon Lord, you’re asking the right person, not only do I know of the Ancient Vermilion Bird, but I’ve also seen it with my own eyes.”
What!
Ren Feifan felt a surge of excitement in his heart and quickly asked, “Where did you see it, tell me quickly!”
The Lord of the Underworld recalled for a few seconds and said, “During that great war years ago, I was seriously injured and the strong ones from Pilgrimage Mountain would stop at nothing to hunt me down. I inadvertently entered Shengyan Lake on the Pilgrimage Mountain where a woman was cultivating. Above her head was the shadow of the Vermilion Bird. At the brink of death, she directly tore open a space rift before me and tossed me in.
In other words, the world beneath the Thistle Forest was actually created by the Ancient Vermilion Bird.
Ren Feifan could never have imagined that the Ancient Vermilion Bird would save the Lord of the Underworld!
Wouldn’t such an ancient being despise the people of the Ninth Nether?
It seemed that the Lord of the Underworld sensed Ren Feifan’s confusion and continued, “In fact, at the time, I thought I was doomed, but the other party took a glance at me, seemed somewhat surprised, and it was as if they foresaw something, which was why they threw me into that space.”
Ren Feifan didn’t want to dwell on the why, so he asked, “What did the person look like, were you able to see clearly?”
The Lord of the Underworld replied, “I’m not sure if they would change their appearance, but the looks I saw at the time were quite attractive. Most notably, there was a small red mark between their eyebrows; if you didn’t look closely, you’d overlook it.”
Ren Feifan frowned; the description was too vague, so he said, “Draw her out! Immediately!”
“Alright!”
The Lord of the Underworld conjured paper and pen, with a slight wave of his arm, an image appeared directly on the blank paper.
The image then floated into Ren Feifan’s hand.
Ren Feifan glanced at the image, mildly astonished.
The Ancient Kylin, Ancient Divine Tiger, and Ancient Divine Dragon forms he had seen were all aged beings.
However, he didn’t expect the Ancient Vermilion Bird to be exceedingly beautiful.
Of course, this could be a disguise by the other party.
“Demon Lord, are you planning to go to Shengyan Lake?”
The Lord of the Underworld asked.
Ren Feifan definitely needed to go, though uncertain if the Ancient Vermilion Bird would still be cultivating there, it was the only clue he had at the moment.
If asked which of Ren Feifan’s purposes for coming to Pilgrimage Mountain was the most important, he would unhesitatingly answer that it was to find the Ancient Vermilion Bird!
No one’s life was more important than Xu Shihan’s!
The Lord of the Underworld saw that Ren Feifan was determined, and conjured a drop of blood essence that suspended in front of Ren Feifan: “Demon Lord, this drop of blood essence is linked to my body, keep it with you, if any issues arise on Pilgrimage Mountain, just release this essence, and I, along with countless Ninth Nether inhabitants, will come to your aid!”
“Alright, I won’t linger here much longer, I’ll head straight to Shengyan Lake, you stay here, if anything happens, I will naturally call for you.”
Ren Feifan accepted the blood essence and instructed.
“Yes, Demon Lord!”
The next second, the ground trembled, and the Thistle Forest twinkled with dim light, the Ninth Nether forces vanishing completely.
Ren Feifan looked towards Bai Ling and the dragon lady: “We’ll make a trip to Shengyan Lake, you have no objections, do you?”
Both nodded, Bai Ling added, “I actually visited Shengyan Lake once when I was little, relying on memory, we might find it.”
“Good.”
Ren Feifan directly started walking out of the Thistle Forest.
Perhaps due to the Lord of the Underworld, the previously perilous thistles unexpectedly parted to both sides!
A broad path suddenly formed!
The three of them headed directly outward.
…
Meanwhile, at Master Gua’s residence.
The atmosphere was tense.
Master Gua was seen kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
A rather delicate young girl was sitting at a table, playing with a Spirit Dagger in her hand.
The girl, with her legs crossed and her charming eyes adorned with tassels, emanated an overwhelmingly strong aura.
“A few days ago, an exceptionally strong anomaly broke out nearby, what do you know about it? I’ve come out with difficulty, you best not test my patience.”
Master Gua was on the verge of collapse, where on earth did this girl come from!
Even though he dabbled in divining and divination, he hadn’t sensed this disaster for himself!
The crucial point was that her power was terrifyingly formidable, the massacre array he formed hadn’t even been unleashed, and it was torn apart by her brute strength!
The girl asked Master Gua about the anomaly nearby, but how was he supposed to know!
The girl, seeing Master Gua wasn’t planning to speak, showed a hint of displeasure between her brows, lightly waved her arm, and an invisible force formed, pinning Master Gua against the wall.
“Old man, let me rephrase, has anyone mentioned Saint Doctor’s Gate these days?”
Master Gua was taken aback!
Saint Doctor’s Gate?
Someone has actually mentioned it these days!
It was him!
Initially, Ren Feifan insisted on reaching the mountaintop, and he had mentioned Saint Doctor’s Gate several times.
But so what if he mentioned Saint Doctor’s Gate? Although this sect was seldom mentioned now, it wasn’t a taboo phrase!
Trying to figure out what the girl’s purpose was left him baffled, so he shook his head vigorously: “I don’t know, I truly don’t know anything.”
The girl lifted the restraint, letting Master Gua fall directly to the ground.
An invisible oppression seemed to weigh on Master Gua, making it hard for him to breathe.
“Just now, I read your mind, you certainly know something… If you don’t speak, I guarantee your soul will be forfeit.”
As the words lightly fell, a terrifying force suddenly compressed Master Gua’s body, almost choking him!
No longer able to withstand, he urgently said: “A few days ago, someone came to me, I did mention Saint Doctor’s Gate several times! Please, spare me!”
The terrifying force suddenly vanished, the girl had already stepped in front of Master Gua: “Tell me everything! I want to know every reaction of that person, not a single thing must be missed.”
Reluctantly, Master Gua could only divulge matters concerning Ren Feifan.
Leaving no detail out.
He even recounted subsequent events related to the Bai Family.
The woman fell into deep thought, murmuring, “Could that little rascal named Ren Feifan erase the Heavenly Path scars, such medical skills, could they be related to the Saint Doctor’s Gate?”
Upon hearing this, Master Gua was startled, his expression quickly turning sour: “My lord, that’s absolutely impossible, Ren Feifan harbors intense Evil Qi, how could a disciple of Saint Doctor’s Gate possess such an aura?”
The woman ignored Master Gua and walked straight outside; billowing white mist arose, she quickly disappeared from Master Gua’s abode.
Master Gua stretched his muscles, thinking the woman might erase him, it seemed she wasn’t wholly barbaric after all.
Ten minutes later, a subordinate rushed over swiftly.
“Master Gua, we have news about Su Mohan you asked for!”
“Hurry up and tell me.”
After listening to the aide’s briefing, Master Gua slapped his thigh, and promptly sent a location to Ren Feifan via a device!
