Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1595 - 1580: The War God Returns

In the Luosang City Hall, the old face of the disgraced old Alchemy Master Lim Mo suddenly turned from blank to extraordinarily resolute, even revealing a hint of ferocity, as he clenched his fists and murmured to himself:

"No! I, Lim Mo, despite having countless faults, should not have my path of Alchemy cut off, making me a total waste for life! Even if he is truly the inheritor of Master Xiao Tianyi, he cannot!"

"Cutting off my path of Alchemy, do they think our Alchemy Master Guild is easy to trifle with? In this matter, I believe our Alchemy Master Guild will definitely stand up for me!"

"Tian Yi!"

...

Yunlai Empire, Imperial City.

This Imperial City was once the Emperor City of the Heavenly Mist Empire, but after the fall of the Heavenly Mist Empire, Long Chen moved the Imperial Capital directly here.

After a rush of traveling, Shi Feng and his group of four finally appeared on the Transmission Altar in the Imperial City.

However, due to Shi Feng being too low-key and the War God having been away from the empire for many years, the Golden-armored Forbidden Army guarding the Transmission Altar in the Imperial City did not recognize the return of their War God.

After exiting the transmission hall, Shi Feng and Shi Ling surveyed all directions within the Imperial City, not expecting that in just a few years, this large city had undergone a tremendous change compared to their impression.

It had become even more prosperous than before, with buildings grander and more imposing.

"The changes here are enormous!" Walking on the street, looking in all directions, Shi Ling exclaimed.

Then she looked up again at Shi Feng beside her and smiled, saying, "I really don't know how mother is doing now. The closer we get here, the more anxious I feel and the more I want to immediately see her."

Hearing his sister's words, Shi Feng smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, mother must be well!"

Gradually, past scenes of the Yunlai Empire, one after another, along with faces, unfolded in Shi Feng's mind.

He awakened in the Yunlai Empire and gradually rose in this small nation, where he met many people.

There were friends who adventured with him.

Friends who fought alongside him.

Friends who risked their lives to save him.

...

He didn't know how these people were doing now.

For Shi Feng, the most memorable was naturally the red-clothed woman, Hong Yue, who once risked her life to save him.

But since the day he brought back the Ten-colored Petals from the Death Forbidden Land and left the Yunlai Empire, he hasn't seen this red-clothed woman again.

"With that treatment from the Ten-colored Petals, she must certainly be alright," Shi Feng thought to himself.

Then, Shi Feng also recalled the clever and adorable little princess Long Meng, who was severely injured by the Floating Void Sect Master Piao Xueyan that year.

But by the time he left, her injuries had stabilized, so now, they should no longer be an issue.

As his thoughts flowed, soon, a grand and imposing Imperial Palace appeared in the sight of Shi Feng and the other three.

Upon seeing the palace, Shi Feng and the three others continued moving forward without any intention to stop, and at this moment, a loud shout suddenly resounded from the front: "The palace is a restricted area; idle people are forbidden from entering! Those who trespass the palace will be executed without mercy!"

Following that loud shout, the Golden-armored Forbidden Army guarding the palace erupted in a series of loud shouts: "Execute without mercy!"

"Execute without mercy!"

"Execute without mercy!"

"Kill!"

...

The soldiers who could guard the critical post of the palace were certainly not ordinary people. The row of Golden-armored Forbidden Army before them were all seasoned veterans, instantly emitting a strong aura of slaughter.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping!"

Soon after, the sounds of swords being drawn and the clanging of metal echoed through the air.

As they saw Shi Feng and the others disregard the warning and continue forward, the soldiers ahead were ready for combat.

Just as they had said earlier, intruders of the palace would be executed without mercy, no matter who they are!

Seeing the imposing Golden-armored Soldiers ahead, Shi Feng furrowed his brows slightly. Taking the lives of these people would only be a matter of a thought for him.

However, these were the soldiers of Yunlai Empire and were guarding by the emperor's orders, so he had no need to take their lives.

Then, Shi Feng slowly spoke, "What, have I been away from Yunlai Empire for more than two years now, and no one recognizes me?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

As Shi Feng's voice faded, a series of gazes immediately fixed on his face, finding this stern and handsome face growing increasingly familiar.

"Him?"

"Him?"

"It's him!"

Soon after, the Golden-armored Forbidden Army ahead quickly reacted, and upon realizing Shi Feng's identity, their bodies suddenly trembled.

"The War God! The War God has returned!"

"War God!"

At this moment, an imposing Golden-armored General immediately knelt to the ground, loudly proclaiming towards Shi Feng, "Long live the War God! I am guilty of not recognizing the majesty of the War God, and I implore the War God's forgiveness!"

"Long live the War God!"

"Long live the War God!"

"Long live the War God!"

...

Following this, the Golden-armored Forbidden Army guarding the palace all knelt before Shi Feng, their chants echoing in the heavens and earth.

Even the distant pedestrians and the Imperial City Forbidden Army within the palace gates directed their gazes here, all kneeling down.

The War God, the supreme existence in the Yunlai Empire, according to the empire's laws, must be worshipped by all who see him!

"The War God! The War God has returned!"

"The War God has returned!"

"The War God Shi Feng, the myth of our Yunlai Empire, personally slain the Emperor Bu Fan!"

...

Amid the kneeling figures and low chants, Shi Feng and his three companions walked straight ahead, soon entering the grand palace gate.

"Long live the War God!"

...

Next, wherever the War God Shi Feng passed, no one stood, with sounds of worship continuously rising.

Soon, the news of the War God's return spread throughout the entire Imperial City and palace. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

...

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Long Chen was diligently reviewing memorials.

But just then, a rapid and sharp voice sounded from outside the Imperial Study: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Upon hearing the urgent voice, Long Chen paused his hand movements, frowned, and spoke with displeasure, "Dequan, what is wrong with you today? Do you not know I am reviewing memorials and should not be disturbed? Hmm?"

At this point, the eunuch Dequan entered the Imperial Study, and upon seeing Long Chen's displeased countenance, he quickly knelt: "Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die, and I seek your forgiveness! This servant indeed has important matters to report, and I beseech your pardon!"

"Alright, alright." Long Chen waved his hand at the kneeling eunuch, somewhat impatiently saying, "You're usually not like this, what's happened? Speak quickly."

"Your Majesty, the... the War God has returned!"

"What!" At the words of the eunuch Dequan, Long Chen's expression dramatically changed, and he immediately stood up from the Dragon Throne.

"You, this servant, why didn't you say so earlier! Hurry... prepare to welcome him!"

"This... this servant!"

"Enough! Let's go!" The eunuch wanted to say more, but Long Chen hurriedly waved a hand to interrupt, personally rushing out of the Imperial Study to welcome the War God.
