Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 365 This Unlucky Child is Really Careless!

Ning Xuan's face didn't flush, nor did his heart skip a beat. Shentu Yi subconsciously nodded.

"Then what are you standing around for? Go!" Ning Xuan's urging voice immediately rang out.

"Alright, I'm going to…" Just as he was about to move, Shentu Yi remembered Zang Wu and turned to look toward Demon Island.

BOOM!

A terrifying explosion erupted on the island, and the resulting shockwave swept violently in all directions. Shentu Yi ducked low to avoid the blast, which could have easily obliterated a King Realm Martial Artist. "Damn, this bastard's power is horrifying!" he muttered, realizing he had underestimated Zang Wu's strength.

"I'll handle things here. Go, quickly!" Beside him, Heavenly Charm's expression had changed as she, too, began to urge Shentu Yi.

"Okay!" This time, Shentu Yi didn't hesitate, leaving at his fastest speed. He had completely misjudged Zang Wu's strength and had to remove the Prohibition on himself as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

From the shadows, Ning Xuan left a telepathic message for Heavenly Charm, Be careful, and then pursued Shentu Yi directly. He couldn't keep using the Passing Willow Traceless Movement Technique; if he revealed his position here and Zang Wu found out, he would lose his advantage. Using Shentu Yi as a cover was the best choice.

With his cultivation now at the Venerable Realm, Ning Xuan activated the Passing Willow Traceless Movement Technique and became like a wisp of blue smoke. He followed closely behind Shentu Yi, who remained completely unaware of his presence.

Shentu Yi moved at an extreme speed, weaving through the area so quickly that many people along the way didn't even have time to react. Whenever he encountered powerful individuals who detected his presence, he would let out a long howl.

"Grandpa, who was that who just passed by?" a young boy asked the old man next to him.

"Shentu Yi."

"What? The prodigy who was once number one?! He's back? Grandpa, I want to go to the Shentu Family's estate…"

Similar conversations unfolded in several places, and soon, the entire younger generation of the Yao Guang Demon Path was heading toward the same location.

BOOM! Shentu Yi, who had been racing along, plunged through a waterfall with a thunderous roar. Ning Xuan followed without the slightest hesitation, and the two of them passed through the waterfall, one after the other.

The scene before them suddenly opened up. Atop a series of interlocking mountains, buildings stood packed together like scales on a fish. Within the embrace of these mountains lay an enormous plateau—the masterful work of someone who had completely leveled a mountain peak. Peeking through the gaps between the mountains, one could see two figures dueling.

"Who's there?!" a robust voice suddenly rang out, causing the mountains themselves to tremble.

"Grandpa, it's me!" Ning Xuan heard Shentu Yi's voice. After a brief silence, cheers erupted like a tidal wave.

Ning Xuan slipped into a nearby building and listened intently, but he soon grew bored. It was all too predictable. Since Shentu Yi had been away for so long, the proceedings below were exactly as expected: first, they asked him to explain his absence. After his explanation, the younger generation of the Shentu Family began challenging him to duels, eager to make a name for themselves.

Ning Xuan had intended to let it play out, but he soon lost his patience. Shentu Yi was still concerned about his peers' pride and refused to fight back seriously. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

What the hell is wrong with you?!

As soon as Ning Xuan's telepathic message reached Shentu Yi, an excited young voice rang out from below. "Haha, I hit him! Did you all see—PFFT!"

Before he could finish, his joy turned to sorrow. With a flick of his sleeve, Shentu Yi heavily injured him.

"Shentu Yi, what are you doing? He's your cousin!" a scolding voice immediately followed.

"Second Uncle, do you want to fight, too? Come on, let's see if you've made any progress!"

"You... you... you're rebelling!"

"Second Uncle, just say whether you dare or not!"

"Brat, if I don't teach you a lesson today—PFFT!"

Before the Shentu Family's Second Uncle could finish his threat, Shentu Yi sent him flying with a single strike.

"A Venerable! Yi'er, you've actually reached the Venerable Realm!" a joyful voice exclaimed.

The Shentu Family's Second Uncle was a genuine Venerable, yet he couldn't withstand a single blow from Shentu Yi. Even if this was due to underestimation, it proved Shentu Yi's strength was exceptionally terrifying.

"Hahaha, good! Excellent!" the old patriarch of the Shentu Family laughed heartily.

"Grandfather, a word in private," Shentu Yi said, taking the opportunity to pull him aside. After a brief discussion, the elder left with Shentu Yi.

Watching from the shadows, Ning Xuan nodded in satisfaction. His expression quickly changed, however, as he frowned and held his breath.

Outside in the square, the Second Uncle's angry voice rose again. "Who are you?! How dare you tres—" His voice stopped abruptly as the newcomer seized him by the throat and lifted him high into the air. A Venerable at the Fifth Layer Heavens was being treated like a mere ant!

Instantly, all the Shentu Family Martial Artists in the square went on high alert.

"Don't be nervous. We're just here to find Shentu Yi," the voice of Heavenly Charm rang out.

The eyes of the Shentu Family's younger generation went wide, and some even began to drool. Even among the older generation, some gazes turned to ones of infatuation.

Heavenly Charm's voice rose again, as chilling as a winter wind. "This is Lord Zang Wu. You'd better bring out Shentu Yi quickly, or you will face the consequences!"

THUMP!

Heavenly Charm's Cultivation Realm now far surpassed Shentu Yi's. None of the Shentu Family's younger generation could withstand her aura, and they all fell to their knees. Some even tasted blood in their throats before spitting it out.

The other Martial Artists were utterly horrified. This woman, who appeared to be just a follower of Zang Wu, was already this terrifying. How strong must Zang Wu himself be?!

"Quick, go find them!" A middle-aged man with a striking resemblance to Shentu Yi urgently gestured to the young man beside him. He was Shentu Yi's father, Shentu Sheng. The young man was Shentu Yi's own brother, Shentu Xing.

Shentu Xing, however, didn't move. "Dad, I'm not afraid of him!"

At the same time, he stared defiantly at Zang Wu and shouted, "Bastard, let go of my second uncle!"

The response he received was…

CRACK!

Zang Wu crushed the Second Uncle's neck with one hand.

Watching from the shadows, Ning Xuan caught the fleeting smile in Shentu Xing's otherwise shocked eyes. Damn, this kid is pretty good at using others to do his dirty work!

Shentu Sheng's mouth twitched before he slapped his son. "What are you fooling around for?! Go and get them, now!" As he kicked Shentu Xing away, Shentu Sheng glanced nervously at Zang Wu, afraid he might attack his son.

"I will give you one quarter of an hour. If I do not see Shentu Yi by then, I will level this place," Zang Wu declared, standing proudly in the center of the square.

"You got it!" Shentu Xing replied cheerfully. He sprang to his feet and ran off faster than a rabbit.

Zang Wu's mouth twitched. What a brainless child!

"Um, perhaps I should go take a look, too?" Heavenly Charm suggested to Zang Wu, feeling a sudden impulse.

Zang Wu's brow furrowed. However, after Heavenly Charm's lips moved, silently conveying a message, his fists clenched and then relaxed. "Go, quickly!" he barked.

Heavenly Charm went after Shentu Xing, while Zang Wu merely let out a cold snort in Shentu Sheng's direction.

PFFT!

Shentu Sheng instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, but he held up a hand to stop the family's other experts from making a move. It was crystal clear to him why Zang Wu had acted this way.
