Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Nine Nether Yellow Spring Water

“`

“What is that?” Zhang Qichu and others woke up from their sleep, looking at the gigantic figure propping up the heavens and earth, they exclaimed in shock.

Lin Feng’s eyes were deep, “I’ve heard that when a cultivator advances to the legendary Yin Yang Realm, they can unleash the Method of Heaven and Earth. This Method of Heaven and Earth can reach the sky and step on the earth, possessing the power of a divine demon. This should be a Method of Heaven and Earth.”

“What? Method of Heaven and Earth? So powerful? Could it be that a Yin Yang Realm expert among the demons has made a move? My heavens, beings of this level, are like divine spirits overlooking the mortals. Our True Martial Country has existed for thousands of years, and such an expert has never appeared. How could there be a demon expert of the Yin Yang Realm in our True Martial Country?”

Wang Xuanming said in shock.

“Let’s go, we should find out what’s happening,” Lin Feng said.

...

Overnight, seven people traveled.

Along the way, they hunted many demons, and after half a month, they arrived at a massive underground crevasse.

Many people gathered here, including students from Jialan Academy, loose cultivators, adventurers, and mercenary groups.

These adventurers and mercenary groups mostly took tasks to hunt demons or explore the underground world for treasures.

They did not serve the country.

Mercenary groups like the Mad Dragon Mercenary Group serving the country were quite rare.

When Lin Feng and the others arrived, some adventurers and mercenary groups even showed sinister smiles, their gazes towards Lin Feng and the others were ill-intentioned.

These people could do anything for profit.

They had committed many acts of killing and plundering.

Lin Feng and his group were a group of young people without protection, so it was very normal for them to be targeted.

Lin Feng frowned and said, “It seems like there’s a mix of fish and dragons here, we must remain vigilant. If we enter the underground world, we need to beware of not only demons but also unfamiliar cultivators to avoid being ambushed.”

“Hmm.” Zhang Qichu and others nodded.

Su Zimo said, “I’ll go find out about the incident regarding the Method of Heaven and Earth a few days ago.”

“Go ahead,” Lin Feng nodded.

Not long after, Su Zimo returned.

“What have you found out?” Li Kun asked impatiently.

“On that day, there was a duel here. It is said that the ninth disciple of the Overseas Flame Demon King, the Red Flame Great Demon, had a fierce battle with Sun Moon City’s unparalleled genius, Liu Piaomiao.”

Su Zimo said.

Sun Moon City is one of the Ten Great Ancient Cities of the East County Divine Land, standing parallel with the Heavenly Saint City. It has an ancient force overseeing it, unimaginably powerful, and is a holy land for cultivation.

It is said that the founding saint ancestor of the True Martial Country was just an outer disciple of Sun Moon City’s ancient force back then.

This sounds incredible, but it is true, enough to show how terrifying Sun Moon City is, as even an ordinary outer disciple can establish an immortal nation for thousands of years after leaving.

The foundation of an ancient force is beyond imagination.

And the True Martial Country is indeed affiliated with Sun Moon City, offering tributes every year.

In return, Sun Moon City protects the True Martial Country.

“Who is this Liu Piaomiao?” Lin Feng asked.

Su Zimo said, “Liu Piaomiao is a leading figure among the young generation of Sun Moon City, considered one of the most talented prodigies among the young generation of the East County Divine Land. Although Liu Piaomiao is only twenty, he has already broken through to the Yin Yang Realm.”

“Twenty years old! Yin Yang Realm!” Lin Feng’s eyes widened, his expression one of utter shock.

Su Zimo bitterly smiled and said, “Junior brother, this is nothing to be surprised about. Our True Martial Country’s founding saint ancestor was just an ordinary outer disciple in Sun Moon City back in the day. Hence, it’s evident how terrifying a place like Sun Moon City is as an ancient force.”

“The gap is truly immense,” Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

Originally, Lin Feng thought reaching the Martial Artist Ninth Level at fifteen already made him a genius among geniuses.

But now Lin Feng realized that he had been short-sighted.

In a place like Sun Moon City, there emerged a Yin Yang Realm expert at twenty.

Lin Feng finally understood the vast distance between him and these top prodigies.

However, Lin Feng was not discouraged. Instead, it spurred an inexhaustible fighting spirit in him, and Lin Feng believed that with effort, he would surely catch up.

Sooner or later, he too would break through to the Yin Yang Realm. By then, he could fly through the sky, escape into the earth, breathe fire, soar through clouds and mist, touch stone into gold, and master divine skills.

“Some people have already gone down, let’s go down too,” Lin Feng said.

“Alright, let’s check out the underground world. Rumor has it that in the underground world, demons run rampant, yet there are many treasures that the earth world does not have. We don’t know if we have the chance to obtain some treasures from the underground world,” Ouyang Li said with anticipation.

Lin Feng and the seven entered the underground world.

The underground world was damp and dark.

The vegetation here was exceptionally tall, but much of it was highly toxic and couldn’t be casually touched.

Furthermore, many giant cannibal flowers grew here.

These cannibal flowers usually hid underground, waiting for someone to pass by before they quickly emerged to swallow the passerby whole, incapacitating them with venom before slowly digesting the swallowed person.

Besides the harsh environment, there were many demons lurking in the dark to ambush the cultivators entering the underground world.

On the second day of entering the underground world, while passing through a forest, Lin Feng and others heard sounds of fighting.

They stealthily approached to observe, only to see a dozen or so young people being besieged by three to four hundred mercenaries. These mercenaries attacked fiercely and had the advantage of numbers, overwhelming those young people.

Thud! Thud!

People were continuously being killed.

“Vile Sky Wolf Mercenary Group! Yunhai Academy’s Elder Council will avenge us!” the last surviving student cursed in hatred.

Thud! He was also pierced through the chest by a Sky Wolf Knight riding a giant sky wolf.

Lin Feng and his group couldn’t rescue them in time.

“Hmph, once you’re dead, how will Yunhai Academy know who killed you?” The leading mercenary sneered and then ordered, “Take everything from their bodies.”

“Yes, sir.”

Soon, the several hundred mercenaries left.

Lin Feng and others quickly emerged from the forest, reaching the corpses of the dozen young men.

They checked them over, but there was not a single survivor.

“These mercenaries are truly despicable. With demons causing chaos in the True Martial Country, instead of killing demons, they plunder and murder the country’s cultivators,” Zhang Qichu said indignantly.

Lin Feng’s brow twitched slightly. Those mercenaries were from the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, and if he remembered correctly, Duanmu Feiyang, whom he had killed in the forest before, was the junior commander of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.

“These are all Yunhai Academy’s students. Let’s not leave their bodies to rot. We’ll bury them,” Lin Feng said, sighing. It was the second time he had buried tragic remains of dead cultivators. The difference was that this time, unlike the bodies of Jialan Academy students who died at the hands of demons, Yunhai Academy’s students had been killed by the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, which fueled Lin Feng’s anger.

With the nation in peril, instead of lending a hand, for the sake of money, these mercenaries were killing the very cultivators defending the nation. Lin Feng wished to eliminate the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, but the few of them were simply too weak against the infamous Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.

After burying the bodies, they left. On the third day, Lin Feng and the others heard news of Netherworld Creek, which was rumored to have Nine Nether Yellow Spring Water flowing from it, located a hundred miles away.

It is said that the Nine Nether Yellow Spring Water is one of the most precious spiritual liquids under heaven and earth, a soul treasure, capable of significantly enhancing strength through cultivation.

Upon learning this, Lin Feng, Zhang Qichu, and the others hurried towards Netherworld Creek, but they were ambushed on the way.

Arrows shot toward them, forcing Lin Feng and the others to dodge awkwardly.

“Oh, you’ve got some skills,” a sneer came from the mercenaries, who numbered fifty to sixty, including a dozen mounted on sky wolves, surrounding Lin Feng and the seven others.

Zhang Qichu, Su Zimo, and the others turned pale, recognizing the mercenaries as those from the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group they had seen before.
