Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1612 - 1597: Red Sun Sect Powerhouse

"Here, everyone must be extra careful! This perilous area is indeed a place of great danger!"

The voice of a middle-aged man echoed through the Death Forbidden Land.

Seven figures slowly traversed the thick gray-white mist.

At the forefront was the middle-aged man who had just spoken, followed by six young people, four men and two women, each with dignified appearances and extraordinary bearings.

At this moment, the middle-aged man at the front was holding an ancient, mysterious black compass, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on it, as if their path was guided by the compass.

It seemed to be true! When the compass needle stopped, they would stop; when it changed direction, they would follow suit.

From both afar and nearby, screams of martial artists met their end filled the air occasionally, yet the seven of them remained unscathed.

Either they were amazingly lucky, or the mysterious compass truly was helping them turn danger into safety.

"With Master Ruo here, we’re sure to leave the Death Forbidden Land alive!" A young man spoke confidently, looking at the broad figure ahead.

As soon as his voice fell, another young man responded: "That’s right, Master Ruo’s Heavenly Star Compass is rumored to be an artifact from the Ancient Period. It’s said that even Elder Tian Yong of Destiny Mountain attempted to trade a heavy price for it but was ultimately refused by Master Ruo."

"Let’s not even mention the Heavenly Star Compass; Master Ruo himself is a powerful three-star Martial Emperor, leading us through this minor Eastern Domain’s Death Forbidden Land for training is naturally no problem."

The young people behind the middle-aged man were nonchalant, entering the perilous Death Forbidden Land as if on a leisurely tour.

However, the further Master Ruo walked, the more solemn his expression became as he gazed at the compass, secretly exclaiming in his heart: "Death Forbidden Land! Death Forbidden Land! Indeed it’s a place of great danger! I’ll delve deeper for now, but if things go south, I’ll retreat."

Just then, the middle-aged man named Master Ruo suddenly sensed an immensely powerful formless force descending from the sky. Being a three-star Martial Emperor, he instinctively reacted by striking upward with a palm.

"Boom!" With a powerful and fierce palm strike, the descending force was instantly shattered by Master Ruo’s blow!

Then, he lowered his head again to look at the ancient compass, and after a brief moment, he slowly raised his head to gaze ahead.

As if there was something within the rich gray-white mist that attracted him.

...

"Hmm?" Treading through the ruins and mist alongside the maiden, Shi Feng uttered a soft murmur.

He sensed an invisible force descending behind him; that power seemed to have reached the Realm of Martial Emperor!

But soon after, a stronger power of Martial Emperor appeared and extinguished the former force.

This meant a strong Martial Emperor had entered the Death Forbidden Land.

But it’s no surprise; such a forbidden land has once revealed the legendary True God Medicine. Not to mention Martial Emperors, even Demigods find it hard to resist its allure.

"What is it?" The maiden walking alongside Shi Feng now asked, having heard his murmur.

"Nothing," Shi Feng responded with a carefree smile.

"Oh." The maiden replied softly, but her gaze briefly scanned Shi Feng’s face, and she said nothing further, gazing ahead once more.

After walking a bit further, she spoke again: "By the way, I’m Shan Shan, what’s your name?"

"Shi Feng," Shi Feng replied.

"Oh, Shi Feng." Shan Shan softly murmured the name and nodded slightly.

Judging by her reaction, she probably hadn’t heard of Shi Feng before.

"You’re not from the Eastern Domain?" Shi Feng asked.

"How did you know?" Hearing his question, the maiden was somewhat surprised.

Being from the Eastern Domain isn’t something etched on one’s face.

"Just a guess," Shi Feng said. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Oh." Shan Shan responded, then replied, "I’m from the Southern Territory."

"Southern Territory?" It was unexpected that this maiden came from another domain, entering the Death Forbidden Land.

Then Shi Feng asked, "Why did you enter this Death Forbidden Land?"

As previously mentioned, those who enter this forbidden place usually have a story.

Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shan Shan smiled bitterly: "Me?"

Seeing that bitter smile on her face, Shi Feng immediately perceived a hint of sorrow through her expression. She seemed to be remembering some unhappy past.

After a while, Shan Shan continued: "I’ve searched through many ancient texts, and I’ve visited several forbidden lands on the Tianheng Continent. Finally, I drew lots and ended up in this Death Forbidden Land, leaving it all to fate.

I just hope to find a supreme treasure in this Death Forbidden Land to assist me in my revenge!"

So it turns out she ventured into this Death Forbidden Land driven by hatred, regardless of her life!

Indeed, there are supreme treasures in this Death Forbidden Land, but those who manage to escape with such treasures alive are scarce.

"You two, hmm, not bad!" At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded behind Shi Feng and Shan Shan.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing the voice behind them, Shi Feng felt indifferent. Despite the thick mist, he had long sensed someone approaching.

However, the maiden Shan Shan was suddenly startled, turning her head to look behind.

By this time, Shi Feng had also halted, slowly turning around.

In the swirling gray-white mist, seven figures appeared!

The one who spoke was undoubtedly the leader, this middle-aged man, whose Martial Arts Realm was a three-star Martial Emperor!

The other six young individuals had decent talents too, with the highest reaching the One-star Martial Saint Realm, and the lowest at Six-star Martial Venerable.

Shi Feng noticed that some of the young people who glanced at them wore expressions filled with disdain and amusement.

Clearly, these people came with ill intentions.

"You... you all!" At this time, the maiden Shan Shan suddenly seemed startled upon seeing these people.

Apparently, she recognized them.

The expression on Shan Shan’s face naturally caught Shi Feng’s eye, so it was likely that these people came from a Southern Territory force.

Following that, Shan Shan, in utter shock, spoke the name of the middle-aged man ahead: "Third Elder Ruo Qingxuan of the Red Sun Sect! An incredibly powerful three-star Martial Emperor!"

"Oh, you know of me?" Hearing Shan Shan’s words, Ruo Qingxuan was slightly surprised, not expecting someone in the distant Eastern Domain’s Death Forbidden Land to recognize him.

Since when did I become so famous?

Then, Ruo Qingxuan spoke again: "Are you also from the Southern Territory?"
