Chapter 1657: Chapter 44: The Nether Sea Island Guarded by Netherworld Soldiers

Back then, before his father left, he once left a message: in their branch, the Bloodline had long since collapsed.

So for a very long time,

no one had been able to awaken the Undying Divine Blood passed down from their ancestor.

His father had also awakened it only by a stroke of fortune.

...

His own ability to awaken the Undying Divine Blood came from inheriting his father’s Bloodline legacy.

Lin Feng then thought of the "Lin Family members" who had been taken away.

A giant hand had flown over from beyond the sky,

and snatched everyone away.

Who was it that took them?

Was it related to that Undying Immortal Sect?

...

For a moment, Lin Feng’s mind was in complete turmoil.

But Lin Feng also knew that now was not the time to think about these things.

In the future, once he reached Jiuzhou, he could inquire for news.

...

After the gathering dispersed, when Meng Zishu and Lin Feng were about to leave, Bei Xianyuan called out to Lin Feng.

Meng Zishu then returned to Yuelu Academy first.

"Let’s go take a walk in the garden." Bei Xianyuan said.

Behind Wangjun Building there was a very large garden, with an elegant environment.

Lin Feng nodded and went with Bei Xianyuan into the garden.

Bei Xianyuan said, "I’ve heard that Young Master has been quite close to a woman recently?"

Lin Feng said, "Is the Immortal referring to An Zirou?"

"That’s right! Her! That woman is far from simple!" Bei Xianyuan said.

Lin Feng said, "I met that woman back then on the Jiuzhou Alliance’s ancient ship. I’ve always felt that this woman harbors ill intent toward me, I just haven’t had any evidence."

Bei Xianyuan said, "That woman has a connection with the Yuhua Immortal Sect."

"Oh? The Yuhua Immortal Sect?" Lin Feng’s eyelid twitched violently.

The Yuhua Immortal Dynasty was equivalent to a branch of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Huangfu Qingtian was a Prince of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, the hope of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.

Huangfu Qingtian had been slain by his own hand.

And this An Zirou was actually connected to the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

From these layers of relationships, Lin Feng could infer far too many things.

Bei Xianyuan said, "As for what exact relationship that woman has with the Yuhua Immortal Sect, that is still unknown for the time being!"

Lin Feng said, "This news is extremely important to me. Many thanks for the Immortal’s reminder."

Bei Xianyuan smiled and said, "It’s just a trifling matter, and besides, we’re friends. It’s only right that we help each other."

Lin Feng left from Bei Xianyuan’s place.

In the days that followed,

he remained in secluded Cultivation.

Until An Zirou came to find Lin Feng.

"Young Master Lin... I’ve successfully deciphered the secret of the Overseas Secret Treasure. How about we set out tomorrow and head for the Nether Sea Islands?" An Zirou said with a smile.

Lin Feng already more or less knew An Zirou’s identity, and also knew that this woman definitely intended to use the trip to the Overseas Secret Treasure to deal with him.

However, Lin Feng did not care.

He himself was quite interested in this trip to the Overseas Secret Treasure.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Naturally there’s no problem. How many people will be going then in total?"

"Not many. Counting you, Young Master, there will be eight people in all!" An Zirou said.

"Alright!" Lin Feng nodded.

Then An Zirou took her leave and departed.

...

After An Zirou left Lin Feng’s residence, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.

She kept feeling that Lin Feng today seemed somewhat different from usual.

But exactly what was different, An Zirou couldn’t say.

"My Lady! Your complexion doesn’t look too good. Did something happen?" A few of An Zirou’s subordinates swept over. Seeing that An Zirou’s brows had been tightly knitted all along, one female subordinate couldn’t help but ask.

An Zirou said, "It’s nothing. Go back and prepare today. Tomorrow we depart for the Nether Sea Islands. First we’ll borrow Lin Feng’s strength to obtain the treasure, and once the treasure is in hand, we’ll kill him."

"That truly is a plan that kills two birds with one stone!"

Several subordinates said with a laugh.

...

The next day, Lin Feng met up with An Zirou and the other seven.

Then they set off for the Nether Sea Islands.

Although the Nether Sea Islands were dangerous, because this place had once been a battlefield of a great war in the Ancient Era, countless Secret Treasures were buried here.

Therefore,

there were always many Cultivators who ventured here to search for Secret Treasures.

Ten days later, Lin Feng and the others arrived at the outer region of the Nether Sea Islands.

They saw rolling black mist surging in the outer region of the Nether Sea Islands.

They entered the black mist.

Before long, a shrill scream rang out.

One of An Zirou’s subordinates was trembling all over, his body beginning to rot.

From his mouth, a pitch-black worm actually crawled out.

"That’s a Corpse Worm! A very terrifying kind of venomous insect!"

Lin Feng’s expression changed slightly. A streak of Sword Qi slashed out, cutting that Corpse Worm down.

And by this time, An Zirou’s subordinate had already breathed his last.

His corpse crashed to the ground, and very quickly turned into a decayed cadaver.

"What a terrifying Corpse Worm." The faces of the others all became extremely grim.

"Circulate your Mana and form a Magic Light Shield to protect yourselves!" An Zirou said in a deep voice.

The others hastily conjured a Magic Light Shield to guard themselves.

This could prevent the Corpse Worms from silently burrowing into their bodies.

The expressions of everyone in the group grew much more solemn.

This Nether Sea Islands was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

The few of them continued walking deeper in.

Before long, the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Hurry and hide." Lin Feng said in a low voice.

He was the first to dart off into the distance, hiding behind a huge boulder.

And An Zirou and the others also each found a place to hide.

Soon, a group of soldiers charged over from afar.

At the very front was a squad of cavalry.

There were ten cavalrymen in total.

Behind the cavalry, there were over a hundred infantrymen clad in black War Armor.

"Those are Netherworld Soldiers?" Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

The mounts beneath the ten cavalrymen were Black Demon Beasts, except the Black Demon Beasts had long since become skeletons.

Yet even though they had become skeletons, they still remained "alive".

They had become the mounts of the Netherworld Soldiers.

"What a bizarre Nether Sea Islands, to actually have Netherworld Soldiers guarding it."

Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly. He felt that this Nether Sea Islands probably concealed an earth-shaking secret; it was far from as simple as just possessing many Secret Treasures.

These Netherworld Soldiers

were definitely guarding something important.

"Buzz..." Suddenly, at this moment, a treasure within Lin Feng’s Mountain River Ring emitted a faint ripple.
