Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener would leave the Ancient Longevity World during this period of time occasionally. Lin Feng knew about this too.
Under the circumstance that Yan Nanlai, the Qing Ning Holy Man, Wu Mengqi and the others were still in the Ancient Longevity World, the Gu Family silently consented to them doing so.
This was also a gratitude that they repaid Lin Feng for helping them to analyze the Longevity Lotus Seat and for giving them the pill formula of the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill. The more chips the Gu Family had, the greater their confidence. As long as they were not too eager in certain things, the Great Void Sect could only close one eye to what they were doing.
And compared to the Barren Spirit Spring and Lin Feng analyzing the concept of the Longevity Lotus Seat, this was a favor that Lin Feng was glad to see. Using the chips of others to prop himself up was not something that always happened.
From what Lin Feng knew, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener proceeded to another alternate plane of space to travel.
But after hearing Zhu Yi's news, Lin Feng was still confused, "Enemy, what enemy did they meet?"
It was no longer like the time during the Anti-Celestial Sect War when Xiao Yan first formed the Immortal Soul. After all these years of cultivation, Xiao Yan's powers were growing tremendously.
There were still others who could cause a threat to him, but they were in the minority. Even if there were cultivators that Xiao Yan could not win, they couldn't defeat him either. Those who could really pose a threat to his life were very rare. He wouldn't meet them just by walking around, unless the other party had the intention to harm him.
Moreover, even if Xiao Yan could not handle the enemy, Zhu Yi would have supported him when he received news of that. He brought the Higan Golden Bridge to the Ancient Longevity World.
With Xiao Yan's and Zhu Yi's style, they wouldn't contact Lin Feng for help if the situation was not pressing.
"Although the enemy's powers are extraordinary, Eldest Senior and I were able to handle him." After he seemed to understand what Lin Feng was perplexed about, Zhu Yi supplemented his words, "But the person's escape route for himself is the Netherworld Sea."
Lin Feng was confused when he heard that, "Netherworld Sea? Is he a descendant of the Emperor of the Dead, or is he from somewhere else?"
From Lin Feng's initial expectations, the Emperor of the Dead and Nether Priest wouldn't reveal themselves easily. They were now the targets of everyone. Not to even mention that the Emperor of the Dead had not recovered to his full state, even if he did, facing the combined attack of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect was no joke."
Although both sects were against each other right now, they were willing to work together when it came to the Emperor of the Dead. They wanted to remove him as soon as possible.
The Emperor of the Dead was naturally aware of this. Thus, after the Anti-Celestial Sect War, he had been hiding and never revealed himself.
Zhu Yi answered, "That person was addressed by his lackey as Gong Zize, and claimed that his name was Shen Tuze, a disciple of the Nether Priest. He cultivated a mantra called the Blood Hell Satanic Mantra. It seems to be another development of the Blood River lineage. It can summon the Blood River Primordial Water."
"This person looks very young, but he is already an old freak that has cultivated for a long time. But because he has spent most of his time in the Netherworld Sea with the Nether Priest, he's not very reputable. But he is already in the Immortal Soul Third Level. Although he is not as good as Xu Anda, his powers are not ordinary either."
Lin Feng felt a little ridiculous, "This Shen Tuze has an enmity with Xiao Yan and is here to seek revenge?"
At times, hatred would blind someone's eyes and logic. In some cases, extreme hate might allow one to remain logical, but he wouldn't be able to control himself. Many people in this world had a bottom line that must never be touched. They had something or someone that they valued a lot. Otherwise, it could be their dignity, honor, belief or faith.
If this bottom line was crossed, it was not appropriate to use logic or impulse to judge what reaction one would have. It's just that the bottom line of everyone was different.
Zhu Yi's voice sounded weird, "It's not that. Shen Tuze is here for Miss Zhener... he's trying to snatch her away."
Lin Feng seemed to be excited now.
"This is really..." Lin Feng was a little speechless now.
The last person who was interested in Xiao Zhener, the Marquis of Jinghuan, Liang An, was now shut in a golden alms bowl on Mount Yujing, unable to make a comeback forever. Whatever value that could have been squeezed out of him was squeezed out by Xiao Yan.
Before coming to the Ancient Longevity World, Lin Feng was still thinking to himself that, logically, no one would disturb them apart from their own game with the Great Void Sect.
This caused Lin Feng to sigh. He was really looking forward to someone causing trouble, that would have made a great show to watch.
But who knew, another 'gift' had arrived on its own. And this time, through this 'gift', a few more bigger fishes could be baited out.
"This Shen Tuze is no longer young anymore. Is he still so concerned about romance? However, it's not too uncommon to see people like that, but it's just that his passion is a little deviant from what a descendant of the Emperor of the Dead lineage should act like. Is he just like Xiao Yan?" Lin Feng creased his brows and continued asking, "The Netherworld Sea is his escape route, so he escaped?"
Zhu Yi answered, "He's not as good as Eldest Senior. After he was suppressed by Eldest Senior, and was attacked by the Heaven Fire Lotus, he revealed a weird print from his body suddenly. He communicated with the Netherworld Sea and used the powers of the Netherworld Sea to resist Eldest Senior, which allowed him to preserve his life. He even opened an inter-world passage to escape back into the Netherworld Sea."
"Although he can't open the crack to the Netherworld Sea on his own, he seemed to be protected by the Nether Priest using some sort of life restriction. When needed, he can borrow the powers of the Netherworld Sea to escape."
"Eldest Senior only used the Nefarious Almighty Sword to block the passage, preventing it from closing. After that, he chased after Shen Tuze. The restriction on Shen Tuze's body formed a stable passageway in the Netherworld Sea temporarily." Zhu Yi explained the situation in detail, "I was afraid that he might be in danger, thus I brought the Higan Golden Bridge. Right now, I am following Eldest Senior's trail to meet up with him. I am communicating with you through the Higan Golden Bridge. Miss Zhener is at the opening now."
Lin Feng picked his brows, "Xiao Yan is still clever enough to leave behind trails. But even if he wants to find clues about where the Emperor of the Dead is, it's not like his style to enter so recklessly."
Although he was fearless, Lin Feng could not imagine that Xiao Yan would do something as rash as this.
Zhu Yi's voice sounded a little serious, "This is why I am reporting this to you. Miss Zhener said that Shen Tuze revealed something from his words."
"The early death of Eldest Senior's father seems to be related to the Nether Priest!"
"Although the Nether Priest has been hiding in the Netherworld Sea, he had been keeping tabs on the Catastrophic Broken Rock. At the same time, he seems to be finding something in secret."
"To conceal himself, the Nether Priest had always been operating with an avatar with a lower cultivation. He went somewhere close to Wuzhou County then too."
Lin Feng lifted his head slightly, "He was targeting Xiao Yan, but who knew he mistook his father instead."
Zhu Yi was also very clear of Xiao Yan's relationship with the Netherworld Sea."This should be the case."
Lin Feng shook his head. With regards to the issue of bottom line as mentioned earlier, Xiao Yan's bottom line was his closed ones. His parents all died early. His mother died of illness, but his father was murdered, which was something that had bothered him since young.
What made Xiao Yan really frustrated was that he did not even know who his enemies were. It was only today that he finally obtained some clues.
Lin Feng thought of something and said, "Zhu Yi, follow your senior. I will be there soon. Just follow Shen Tuze and don't act recklessly. It's still fine if it's the Nether Priest, as you have the Higan Golden Bridge. But if you meet the Emperor of the Dead, he will not be easy to deal with.
Zhu Yi answered, "I understand. Although Eldest Senior is anxious, I don't think he will be so impulsive."
After disconnecting his contact with Zhu Yi, Lin Feng's brows creased slightly, "It feels a little not right..."
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng turned his head to look at Gu Jun. He communicated with Zhu Yi through his powers, thus Gu Jun did not know what they talked about. Gu Jun had no intention of probing either. But he opened his eyes wide as he looked at Lin Feng, "Master Lin, you have also received news?"
With regards to such a huge matter, it was natural that Xiao Zhener would have reported it to her father. Both Gu Jun and Lin Feng received news at almost the same time.
Lin Feng nodded his head, "I shall go to the Netherworld Sea, what about you?"
Gu Jun answered, "The Catastrophic Broken Rock is with Xiao Yan. I believe the Nether Priest and his disciples can feel it."
"Since he knows that it's no longer in the Ancient Longevity World, the Emperor of the Dead won't take the risk to come to the Ancient Longevity World. Thus, we don't have to be worried that he's waiting for me to leave this place. Furthermore, Ninth Uncle and Sixteenth Brother are here to hold the fort. This place will be safe. It's a rare opportunity, thus I'm also eager to go to the Netherworld Sea."
Lin Feng kept the half-page and said, "Since this is the case, let's not waste time anymore. Let's move quickly."
The both of them left the hall of the palace. Gu Jun then received new from Gu Yuankai that Yan Nanlai had something urgent he needed to discuss with him and Lin Feng.
Lin Feng and Gu Jun's expression did not change. This was expected. Zhu Yi and Xiao Zhener wouldn't report to the Great Void Sect, but as Shen Tuze tapped on the powers of the Netherworld Sea to escape, he opened a crack in the Netherworld Sea and caused a huge commotion. Thus, the Great Void Sect also received news. But it's just that they were unaware of the details.
"Wu Mengqi has already rushed to that alternate plane of space." Gu Yuankai said.
Gu Jun looked at Lin Feng and Lin Feng nodded his head. Gu Jun then said, "Master Yan, please be ready to act. We are pressed for time now. Master Lin and I will be rushing to that alternate plane of space now. We'll inform about the details on the way."
Lin Feng returned to his temporary residence and quickly gathered all his disciples with his powers. After that, he saw Yan Nanlai coming over with the Qing Ning Holy Man and Lin Daohan. After greeting Lin Feng and Lin Daohan, the bunch of them were ready to move to that alternate plane of space.
When they reached, they saw a huge crack in the sky. It was like a wound of the Heavens and Earth. Void space around the crack distorted greatly and the boundary powers exerted intense pressure. White light was also flashing subtly.
Inside the crack, one could see the disasters that raged in the Netherworld Sea, as if it was the apocalypse.
Xiao Zhener was guarding the opening of the crack. After seeing Lin Feng, Gu Jun, Yan Nanlai and the others coming over, she quickly received them.
