Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 774 - 762: The Subsequent Troubles
In Guangsheng City, following Li Xing’s shout, a Silver-armored Soldier quickly broke through the air and left to fetch the map.
Soon, the Silver-armored Soldier returned, his silver figure landing beside Li Xing and in front of Shi Feng, quickly bending his body, and directly offering the map to Shi Feng. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Shi Feng extended his hand to receive it and unfolded it to look. The North Domain was vast; although the map did not detail all the cities of the entire North Domain, it still covered one-third of the region. Most importantly, it included the route from Guangsheng City to Destiny City.
Shi Feng glanced over it carelessly, noting that, using the Space Transmission Array, he still needed to pass through more than 80 cities to reach Destiny City. The next city he was headed to was called Darkless City.
Shi Feng folded the map, tossed it into his storage ring, then turned his head towards Shig Lingrou and said, "Let’s go!"
"Okay!" Shig Lingrou softly nodded in reply, and together with Shi Feng, they followed the street toward the area of Guangsheng City’s Space Transmission Array.
At this time, Li Xing, who had once been dismissed as the Great Commander of Guangsheng City, naturally reassumed the command after Nangong Feihong’s death. With the aid of the Silver-armored Soldier, he slowly rose from his kneeling position.
Then, Li Xing turned around and gazed at the two white figures walking away on the street, his eyes finally resting on the silhouette of the young man in white.
Since that man appeared last night, nothing good had happened to himself, until just now, not only had his nephew Li Lei died, but even himself, he had nearly lost his position as the Guangsheng City Commander and almost met his demise at the hands of Nangong Feihong!
All of this was related to that man!
And what was most difficult for him to accept, the heartbreaking fact, was that his brother only had that one son, that sole descendent who was entrusted to him before his brother’s death. Yet he had personally ended his life, even though he felt he had no choice!
But the undeniable truth was that he failed to protect him!
"No! This cannot be! Lei cannot die in vain! Otherwise, how would I have the face to meet his father, my brother, in the Netherworld a hundred years from now!"
"With my power, I’m nowhere near his match. I don’t even have the courage to confront him! But that power, that formidable power!"
"The previous two, those ignorant City Lords, were secretly eliminated by that power!
And that power, divided into Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow tiers! The assassin I hired was only of the Mysterious tier! They effortlessly eradicated two Martial Saints. How powerful then must their Earth tier, their Heaven tier assassins be!"
"Lei!" As Li Xing silently declared in his heart, his expression suddenly turned fierce. Hanging his head, he turned to look upon the chaotic and now deserted ground, where Li Lei’s body had once lain.
But under the violent tempest of Nangong Feihong, that body had long since been reduced to ashes!
"Lei, may your journey be peaceful! Your uncle will make any sacrifice to avenge you and to cleanse this grievance!" Li Xing said once again fiercely in his heart, then his gaze returned to the white figure that was about to disappear at the end of the street.
Apart from seeking that power to avenge his nephew, Li Xing also planned to slightly alter the events that occurred here and then report them to the imperial court!
With the new City Lord of Guangsheng City having been murdered, the imperial court would surely not ignore this matter and would definitely send a powerful being!
Although the Northern Border Dynasty was not as glorious as it once was, dispatching a Supreme Martial Emperor to eliminate such a minor wretch was more than sufficient!
"You! Just wait and see!"
"Hmm?" Just at that moment, as Shi Feng walked along the street with Shig Lingrou, she suddenly furrowed her brow as if sensing something, and her steps also halted abruptly.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing Shig Lingrou stop suddenly, Shi Feng turned around and asked her.
"Just now, I captured a trace of the trajectory of destiny. The events that just unfolded will continue to do so. You will encounter some trouble in the future because of what just happened." Shig Lingrou, who cultivated the Power of Destiny, truthfully conveyed to Shi Feng what she had sensed.
"Oh?" Hearing Shig Lingrou’s words, Shi Feng smiled indifferently and said without concern, "Any trouble that comes my way? Let it come! Once it arrives, I shall obliterate it!"
Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shig Lingrou also smiled indifferently. Ever since she had met him, he had always radiated such confidence!
But then, his confidence did indeed have its foundation. It seemed like there was nothing that could pose a difficulty for him.
It also seemed that as long as he was around, there was nothing he couldn’t resolve.
Having him by her side always brought such a sense of security. Even when facing the powerful Martial Emperor Nangong Feihong, as long as he was present, one could feel an immense sense of calm.
Shig Lingrou thought to herself inwardly.
Subsequently, Shi Feng and Shig Lingrou continued their journey forward, and as for that matter of the silver Heart Protecting Lock, embarrassing as it had been, it was already a thing of the past.
And both of them tacitly agreed not to bring it up again.
It didn’t take long before they both entered the location of the Space Transmission Array Altar and stepped onto the Transmission Altar together!
..
Late at night, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a fierce storm raged.
In Western City of Guangsheng City, a grocery store still had an oil lamp burning. The dim light it cast was weak, making the entire shop appear dark and gloomy.
Just then, a mysterious person clad in a hooded black robe, completely enveloped by the black cloth, stealthily entered the grocery store during the violent storm.
Inside the grocery store, an old man sitting at the counter, who was lowering his head to read a book, slowly lifted his head upon seeing someone enter. He revealed his face, deeply creased with wrinkles.
Following that, the old man slowly began to speak, his voice pervaded by an elder’s timber, "We’re closed, if there is anything you need, please come back tomorrow."
After the old man spoke, he returned his attention to the book in his hands!
"No, Messenger! I’m not here to buy goods, but rather to buy a life!" Just at that moment, a deep voice abruptly sounded from within the black robe.
Following that, the person in the black robe slowly removed the black hat worn on his head, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Boom! Boom! Boom!" At that moment, the night sky flashed with lightning and the entire world, including the grocery store, was suddenly enveloped in a veil of purple Thunder Light.
Within the flashes of lightning, after the hooded cloak was withdrawn, there appeared a middle-aged man with beard twists, exuding a majestic presence—it was the Guangsheng City Commander—Li Xing!
Subsequently, the old head, after hearing that low voice, once again lifted his gaze towards Li Xing.
The old face, under the dim lamplight, faintly nodded.
