Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1790 - 1775: Eavesdropper in the Night
"The Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa knows everything that happens in the Northwest Desert!"
Upon hearing Zi Ya’s words, if this is true, then the so-called "Destiny Wasteland Tree" must be an existence cultivating the Power of Destiny!
After listening to Zi Ya’s introduction about the "Destiny Wasteland Tree," Shi Feng spoke to her, "Then let’s set off immediately, to find that Destiny Wasteland Tree! If we find the culprit, I will definitely help you take revenge!"
"Yes! Revenge!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Zi Ya nodded heavily, and Shi Feng sensed once again that this girl was emitting a strong murderous intent.
This Snake-man Clan Girl Zi Ya, although appearing much calmer on the surface, had not reduced her murderous intent in the slightest!
"Let’s go!" Shi Feng commanded in a low voice once more.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The Four Separation Giant Snake under them, which had landed at the bottom of the pit, suddenly moved and charged upwards. Soon, it emerged from the giant pit, returning to the ground!
At this moment, Zi Ya pointed towards the northwest direction and said to Shi Feng, "Brother Shi Feng, if we want to find the Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa, we must keep heading northwest!
I heard from my clansmen that if the Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa wants to see us, we will encounter an endless oasis in the northwest desert. If he doesn’t want to see us, we might fly out of the northwest desert!"
Zi Ya described the Destiny Wasteland Tree as being very powerful!
"You haven’t seen it?" Shi Feng discerned from her words that she hadn’t actually seen the Destiny Wasteland Tree, everything was only something she had heard from others.
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s question, Zi Ya nodded, answering truthfully, "Yes, I haven’t seen the Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa."
"This..." Shi Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.
She had only heard rumors of this legendary Destiny Wasteland Tree.
She spoke of the Destiny Wasteland Tree’s great power, but whether it truly existed was quite uncertain.
Moreover, given the great disaster that struck the northwest desert, the Destiny Wasteland Tree might have also suffered in this calamity.
"Forget it, if we can’t find that so-called Destiny Wasteland Tree, I’ll take this girl to the North Domain and look for that Old Man Tian Yong instead!" Deep in his subconscious, Shi Feng already thought that looking for the mythologized Destiny Wasteland Tree was less reliable than seeking Elder Tian Yong of Destiny Mountain.
Then, Shi Feng concentrated his thoughts once more, causing the Four Separation Giant Snake hovering above the giant pit to soar mightily, flying rapidly in the northwest direction as pointed by Zi Ya!
It was at this moment that Zi Ya suddenly spoke again to Shi Feng, saying, "Brother Shi Feng, with a sincere and respectful heart, we will certainly be able to meet the Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa!"
"Hmm! I hope we can meet him!" Shi Feng said.
At this moment, Zi Ya spoke with determination:
"We definitely will! Big Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, everyone, Zi Ya will definitely find the killer and avenge you! Are you watching over me from the heavens? The Zi Ya of today has already advanced into the legendary Martial Saint Realm!
Zi Ya no longer needs your protection! Not anymore!
Zi Ya can protect herself well now, no longer need you to worry about me... sob, everyone, can you hear me?"
As she spoke, Zi Ya’s emotions, which had just slightly stabilized, became agitated again, with tears continuously welling up from her eyes, instantly wetting her cheeks!
...
Just like before, the Four Separation Giant Snake continued to swiftly traverse this scorching, desolate desert.
"Roar! Roar!"
As it flew, the Four Separation Giant Snake occasionally let out furious roars, its momentum vast, yet in this life-less desert, it prompted no response.
At this moment, the sky gradually grew dim, and soon, night fell.
In the northwest desert, the temperature at night was starkly different from that of the day, where the sun’s heat was enough to roast a person.
But at night, the cold, bitter winds blew, vaguely accompanied by the sound of wailing, as if the land itself wept, making the desert seem even more desolate.
They continued heading northwest, and by now, Shi Feng and Zi Ya had passed through five clan territories, which were just like the Werewolf Clan, reduced to ruins!
By now, they saw that the Snake-man Clan territory had become a giant pit, like a massive footprint!
It was as though the Snake-man Clan had been singled out for special treatment!
"Was it intentional? Or a coincidence?" Shi Feng pondered quietly to himself.
By now, they still hadn’t seen the endless oasis, the so-called Destiny Wasteland Tree, that Zi Ya talked about.
And Shi Feng, from the beginning, didn’t have much hope for that Destiny Wasteland Tree.
Only Zi Ya maintained a determined expression, believing she could meet her Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Due to the incident, Shi Feng and Zi Ya naturally spoke very little on this journey, and since the girl had such faith in the elusive Destiny Wasteland Tree, Shi Feng didn’t intend to crush her hope, deciding to wait until they had left the northwest desert to say anything more.
The Four Separation Giant Snake continued flying through the northwest desert for about two hours, but the land ahead remained an endless barren desert.
At this moment, a fluctuation appeared on Zi Ya’s pretty face, and she said sadly:
"Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa, don’t you want to see me? Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa, could you please see me? Zi Ya really wants to know who exactly killed my clansmen. Zi Ya truly wants to avenge them! They suffered so much, and my heart truly aches! Destiny Wasteland Tree Grandpa..."
Hearing the girl’s words full of sorrow, Shi Feng finally spoke, comforting her, "Girl, if we can’t find the Destiny Wasteland Tree, I’ll take you to the North Domain Destiny Mountain, where the strongest cultivator of the Power of Destiny on the Tianheng Continent, Elder Tian Yong, resides. He will surely be able to determine where this cataclysm in the northwest desert originated from!"
"Elder Tian Yong?" Zi Ya murmured these four words.
But just as she finished speaking, a voice full of age, hoarse as if from endless ages past suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth: "Who says the strongest cultivator of the Power of Destiny on the Tianheng Continent is your Human Clan’s Elder Tian Yong!"
The old, hoarse voice echoed continuously across the land.
"Hmm?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing that voice, both Shi Feng and Zi Ya’s expressions immediately changed, and Shi Feng, with a start, shouted coldly towards the night sky, "Who is there! Show yourself!"
Someone had been eavesdropping on their conversation, and Shi Feng, to his surprise, hadn’t sensed that person’s presence at all!
To have escaped the detection of his Four-star Half God Realm Soul Power, what manner of existence could it be?
