Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1605 - 1590: War God House

Shi Feng and the other two got off the carriage and walked through their now transformed homeland, looking around in all directions.

Looking left and right, today's Xiuling Village seems to bear no resemblance to its past appearance.

"It's no wonder the War God's old residence is so beautiful, a place of such natural and cultural spirit, no wonder, no wonder, that it could produce a figure like the War God!"

Not far from Shi Feng and the others, a young man dressed like a scholar gazed around, lightly shaking the paper fan in his hand and said with a smile.

Seeing such a beautiful scene, how could he have imagined that this War God's old residence used to be a remote and backward little mountain village.

He then seemed to completely immerse himself in this place of beauty, his poetic inspiration surged, and he recited a poem: "Seeking divine traces at the War God's old residence..."

...

"This is the War God's old residence; our Yunlai Empire's War God was born here. It is rumored that on the day the War God was born, heavenly thunders roared, the earth shook, and a giant golden bird soared across the sky. From that day on, our War God was destined to be extraordinary…"

A young lady, leading a group, vividly explained to everyone. The serious look on her face made it seem as if the events of that day were just as she described.

However, even the War God's birth mother, Bai Yue'e, didn't know about what she was saying.

...

"Have you ever heard such a rumor, that three years ago, something happened at the War God's old residence, and the entire village suddenly disappeared!"

"This... is this true or not, it sounds a bit creepy!!"

"I heard about it too! Rumor has it the entire village was full of bloodstains back then, yet not a single corpse was found..."

"This..."

"Could it be that... there are... ghosts!"

...

Regarding the matter those people discussed earlier, Shi Feng later heard Long Chen mention it.

The entire Xiuling Village was already wiped out at that time.

The culprit should have been... Li Ru, possessed by that so-called "demon."

Who knows what happened to Li Ru now.

Thinking about how before he recovered his memory, he confessed to her, the butcher's daughter, just so he and his family could eat pork every day, claiming he liked her.

Thinking back on it now, it truly is funny.

However, that time in the Blood Fiend Gate's Blood River, when he met and fought Li Ru who was possessed, at the moment of greatest danger, it was thanks to Li Ru regaining control of her body just in time, preventing the possession from attacking him further.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He truly owed her for that.

He had mentioned repaying that favor someday.

Shi Feng thought, that if he ever encounters her again, and if Li Ru is still alive, he'll do everything in his power to save her.

And if Li Ru has perished, then he'll do everything he can to destroy the creature for her revenge!

...

The War God's old residence, such a scenic spot, indeed attracts many visitors.

With so many people, naturally, other industries have developed too. Inside the residence, there are stalls selling tea, snacks.

There are also taverns.

Sellers offer War God costumes, in various styles and designs.

One style has a small note claiming that the War God once wore it to destroy the Yunlai Empire's greatest sect, the Skywind Sect!

Another style, the War God wore when he conquered the Heavenly Mist Empire.

Another one, in which he captured the heart of the Eastern Domain's first beauty, Princess Linglong.

...

The styles are numerous, covering just about everything.

There's even a style claiming to be the one worn when the War God defeated Emperor Bu Fan.

There are also souvenir sellers with items like jade stones, jade pearls, and jade pendants, claiming the War God personally consecrated them, able to ward off evil and protect descendants.

...

Shi Feng and the others walked through this seemingly familiar yet unfamiliar "War God's old residence", looking around as they headed to the home where they lived for fifteen years.

There, indeed, held too many memories, so many emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Mother, brother, home! Our home is still there!" As they approached their home, Shi Feng and others wondered what had become of the house they used to live in.

At this time, Shi Ling pointed to a dilapidated house ahead, calling out to Shi Feng and Bai Yue'e.

While the rest of Xiuling Village underwent drastic changes, this War God House remained in its original state.

It seems they dared to alter other places, but this house, they wouldn't dare touch even with ten heads.

If they angered the War God, if the War God became furious, who could bear the consequences?

"We're home." Standing in front of the fence, the little girl Shi Ling smiled and sighed.

Looking at this home, a strange feeling welled up inside her.

Memories, warmth, and countless images involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Outside the fence, the ground is inscribed with seven golden characters reading "War God House, Do Not Enter," also bearing the government's official seal.

If someone dared to cross this "Thunder Pool" even half a step, it would be the same as breaking the law.

No wonder the crowds around just looked at the War God House from the fence, with no one daring to take the risk.

To offend not only the authorities but possibly the War God, that could doom one's entire family!

Yet many wondered what kind of scene lay within this dilapidated War God House?

Could there be a hidden grotto inside?

Inside, could there be divine weapons left by the War God?

Could there be a manual of divine arts left by the War God?

This seemingly dilapidated old house might conceal profound mysteries within, for after all, it was once the residence of the War God, not to be underestimated by its appearances.

But little did they know, it was just a shabby old house, so poor back then that even mice wouldn't visit.

Shi Feng and the others simply stood quietly outside the fence, not entering.

It had been three years, without cleaning inside, it must be filled with dust and cobwebs by now.

At this moment, Shi Feng turned his head to look at his mother Bai Yue'e, and asked, "Mother, shall we go in?"

To say who has the most memories and feelings associated with this "War God House", naturally, it would be her.

She got married here, gave birth here, and endured fifteen years here.

Listening to Shi Feng, Bai Yue'e gently shook her head and said, "It's enough to come back and see. This house carries too many memories for me, there's happiness, there's joy, but more so, there's pain and suffering."

As Bai Yue'e spoke, the atmosphere instantly turned mournful.

The greatest pain of all was waiting faithfully for fifteen years for nothing but a heartless and unfaithful person.

Then, with a light sigh, Bai Yue'e said to her children, "Let's go."

"Yes, let's go."

Thereupon, Shi Feng and the others came quietly and left quietly, departing from the War God's old residence.

Few knew that today when they visited the War God's old residence, it was their very War God who brushed past them.

After leaving the lone old residence, they didn't return directly to the Imperial City but continued to travel renowned rivers and mountains with their mother and sister.

Watching the sea, sunrise, and sunset!

Enjoying the tranquility that everyday life could never offer.

Until their mother and sister were fully content, after twenty-three days of happy enjoyment, Shi Feng sent them back to the Imperial City.

Then, Shi Feng, taking only his disciple Xiao Tianyi and the female ghost general Ghost Charm, set off again, heading to the Death Forbidden Land to search for traces of his disciple Yun Yimeng!
