Chapter 97 The Secret of the Soldier, Devouring Heaven Demon Art

With thoughts that would drive others mad with envy swirling in his mind, Shi Feng landed leisurely. He went back and held a grand banquet to relax his mind and body, and also to bid farewell to himself. After the banquet, he left the Eastern Wilderness for the Central State.

Yan Ruyu moved gracefully to Shi Feng's side: "Shi Feng, if you go to Zhongzhou, you should still focus on your own cultivation. Wang Teng may not necessarily come to the Eastern Wilderness to take revenge on us. Even if he does, he can't hurt me."

Shi Feng agreed with Yan Ruyu's words. Upon careful consideration, he realized that he had very few friends and only a handful of people with whom he had a close relationship. The vast majority of them were key figures from various holy lands and aristocratic families, so he could definitely ask powerful figures to act as his protectors.

Wang Teng is not yet a match for Da Neng.

The only one without anyone protecting him was Ye Fan.

That's fine, it's like having no weakness.

"Don't worry, I will naturally prioritize my own cultivation."

What he had to do was simple: go to the place where Wang Teng had secluded himself, as Wang Chong remembered it, and then kill him.

If Wang Teng runs away, then go to the Qinling Mountains to get the "Soldier's Secret" and see if there's a chance to get the "Salvation God Technique".

Upon learning of Shi Feng's plan, Ye Fan advised, "Brother Feng, if you rashly go to find Wang Teng's true form, he might set a trap for you with others. You should focus more on your own cultivation; the Northern Emperor's strength is still quite impressive."

Shi Feng disagreed: "You overestimate Wang Teng. These days, the core members of the extreme sects all practice Emperor Scriptures. Can they compare to us?"

"His high cultivation level is simply due to his age, long cultivation time, and the accumulation of various fortuitous encounters and rare spiritual herbs. His talent is not bad, but it is not particularly strong either."

It's worth noting that even before the later stages, after a large number of ancient races emerged, Wang Teng soon joined forces with Zi Tianfeng of the Ancient Royal Family's Divine Valley to ambush Yao Guang Shengzi, only to be killed by Yao Guang Shengzi in retaliation.

Everyone else was killed. Wang Teng was chased for 300,000 miles by the Holy Son of Yao Guang and was beaten to a pulp. If it weren't for the crane rescuing him, he would have been killed by the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Unable to maintain his advantage in cultivation level or combat strength, Wang Teng truly relied on his age and geographical advantage.

Aside from the still-dormant Primordial Clan, the Northern Plains really doesn't have any outstanding talents to boast about, which is why Wang Teng's dominance was eventually exposed as time went on.

It has been identified as the larger version of Ji Haoyue.

Shi Feng patted Ye Fan on the shoulder: "If you had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm earlier, you could have beaten him too."

The Peacock King appeared and said, "There is no need to worry about Your Highness's safety. I have asked Brother Red Dragon to personally act as Your Highness's protector."

A Taoist priest with long, white hair walked out. He looked gaunt, but he was very powerful.

Shi Feng recognized him; he was Chilong Daoren, the sworn brother of the Peacock King. Chilong Daoren wanted to obtain the essence and blood of the Great Perfection Holy Body to prolong his life, so he entered the Holy Cliff, only to be trapped there for 1,500 years.

Shi Feng had tried to save him when he went to Sacred Cliff last time, but found that the Crimson Dragon Taoist had already left.

"So it's this senior."

Ye Fan had met the Crimson Dragon Daoist at the demon clan's encampment, but they didn't have much interaction. The fact that the Peacock King called him "Big Brother" suggests that he must be very powerful.

Shi Feng also thought that the Crimson Dragon Daoist was good. He was strong and had a good personality. In the original story, the stone he had his eye on was cut by Ye Fan into a longevity-enhancing fruit. Li Heishui was extorting 300,000 catties of source material from the side, but he didn't take action. Instead, he reasoned with him.

After Ye Fan offered to give it to him, he also gave Ye Fan 30,000 jin of Yuan.

It's extremely rare to find someone as friendly as Ye Fan, who is good at attracting hatred and is constantly being hunted down. He's incredibly kind.

Shi Feng took out a Jiazi Pill: "Senior, this pill can extend one's lifespan by sixty years."

The Crimson Dragon Daoist's eyes lit up. His lifespan was nearing its end, and he desperately needed this kind of divine medicine: "Thank you. Are you planning to exchange it for divine resources or sacred materials? I've heard that you've been acquiring sacred materials."

"No rush, let's see first. We'll rely on you a lot in the future."

For Shi Feng, using such a longevity treasure to make money was a low-level strategy; selling it to gain favors was the best approach.

If the Crimson Dragon Daoist were to cooperate with the Imperial Weapon, could he snatch Wang Teng's soul from the Crane?

Shi Feng crossed the domain gate and arrived in Zhongzhou. Before he even landed, he heard the news that Wang Teng had been assassinated.

"It was the Assassin Dynasty that did it."

Shi Feng received information from the demon race and the Jiang family: "I don't know if it was Hell or the human world that made the move, or perhaps both. They are coveting the Chaotic Ancient Inheritance and the Nine Secrets on Wang Teng."

The Crimson Dragon Daoist nodded: "That's normal. There must have been some holy lands that entrusted them with something. After his invincible aura was broken, he became someone who inherited the legacy of a Great Emperor but had no backing. The forces that supported him were probably all coveting his legacy."

The Ji family is the closest to Wang Teng. As for what kind of family the Ji family is now, those who know, know. It's normal for them to turn their backs on people.

A few days later, Shi Feng received the latest news: "Wang Teng almost died, but was saved by a crane."

Shi Feng used to think the crane was troublesome, but now he feels he should thank the crane, otherwise Wang Teng would have fallen into someone else's hands.

"Let's go to the Qinling Mountains first."

Shi Feng hurried on his way and arrived at the Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling Mountains are vast, covering a radius of millions of miles. They possess numerous dragon veins, with mountains everywhere and many ancient tombs underground. Someone once unearthed the tombs of twelve ancient emperors within half a year.

Legend has it that this place is a place of immortality, and many important figures would try to find a way to be buried here after their death.

Most importantly, the Azure Emperor was actually born here.

In the Immortal Transformation Pool, a green lotus elixir of immortality took root on a fragment of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. One day, it suddenly took human form and became the Azure Emperor, a figure that shook the ages.

"The time for the emergence of the Ancient Dragon's Lair and the Immortal Transformation Pool has not yet come."

Following the earth's veins, Shi Feng found quite a few mid-grade and high-grade dragon marrows, but he didn't care for them. These could only be given away or used to restore physical strength, as they contained very few fragments of the Great Dao.

Excavating the dragon marrow was just a side project; Shi Feng's main focus was on finding a small sect called Qin Clan, where the "Soldier's Secret" was located.

After a painstaking search, Shi Feng quickly found the Qin Clan. It seemed inconspicuous, and there were no standards for accepting disciples; they would accept anyone.

In reality, they deliberately released information about the Nine Secrets to attract various geniuses and experts to search for clues about the Nine Secrets, and then secretly converted them with the Divine Conversion Technique. This was extremely terrifying, as even kings could be converted.

Shi Feng warned the Red Dragon Taoist: "Do not listen to the scriptures no matter who is reciting them."

Knowing the power of the Divine Transcending Technique, the Crimson Dragon Daoist concealed himself in the void and had no intention of coming out.

The Qin Clan has four branches: east, west, south, and north. Shi Feng changed his appearance and waited outside for a few days until the day the eastern branch of the Qin Clan was recruiting disciples. He easily joined the outer branch.

A few days later, he discovered two familiar faces at Qinmen: Ji Xiaoman and Hua Yunfei, who had also joined the group.

Their target wasn't just the "Soldier's Secret." As practitioners of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, they had access to countless tombs in the Qinling Mountains, teeming with various unique origins. They were like mice falling into a rice jar or weasels entering a chicken coop, able to feast to their hearts' content.

Shi Feng's heart stirred. Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman were not the orthodox inheritors of the werewolf lineage, but were raised as medicinal herbs. They cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, devouring different sources of origin, and were harvested by the Holy Son of Yao Guang after they matured.

Hua Yunfei was forced into this situation. Even though his father was the master of Xingfeng, he couldn't protect him and could only watch helplessly as his son was cultivated and harvested as a medicinal herb.

Since it is a specially cultivated medicinal herb, it means that there will be gardeners guarding the herbs.

Shi Feng wondered if he could lure out the person monitoring Hua Yunfei.

He must possess the flawless Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art!
