Feng Zun Journey: The World of the Netherworld
Chapter 4

"In the Netherworld, only a handful of experts might be able to provide clues about reincarnation, and Liu Yaoshan was one of those few people...

"Five hundred years ago, His Highness Long Shangdi disappeared all of a sudden, the news shook the sky. There was a rumor that said that, he was struggling to reach the higher dao path, and caused his mental state to diverge, and he died."

"But in the Netherworld World, there were two other rumors. They assumed that His Highness Long Shangdi .. had most likely entered the cycle of samsara, and he chose to reincarnate, so that he could regain his physical body!"

"As a True Dragon God, the path he had to take to compress his body back was almost impossible. So he had no other choice but to choose the path of reincarnation."

"The second rumor says that he is traveling to the universe, in search of the existence of the legend of the Chosen Man."

The old man's expression grew increasingly strange, and his voice contained a hint of emotional turmoil that was hard to express in words. It feels like fear, but there is also longing.

Waves of shock ran through the young man's heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Teacher, are you saying that Demon Emperor Damballa is looking for Liu Yaoshan to find the whereabouts of His Highness Long Shangdi?"

The old man nodded, "That's another possibility I'm referring to."

The expression of the white-robed young man changed erratically, "But..Why did Demon Emperor Damballa kill Lord Zhang just for the sake of finding His Highness Long Shangdi?"

His teacher shook his head, "That's hard to guess."

He paused for a moment, then said, "All these rumors and grudges have passed. If we want a clear answer, I'm afraid only the blind old man knows a little bit of the truth."

Only then did the white-robed young man understand why at the banquet, his teacher asked directly about the death of the Bloody Coffin Lord, immediately after learning the identity of the blind old man.

There is a shocking secret behind it!

The Daoist-robed old man continued, "If as I thought, the blind old man should be a direct disciple of Lord Zhang. He should have known better than anyone, about what reason killed his teacher, and I'm sure he was trying to figure out a way to get revenge."

"But surprisingly, he appeared here, in the Luo Mainland, and he accompanied a young man named Feng Zun. He even called her 'His Highness', as if she was a junior calling his senior. Don't you think that's too weird?"

The young man's expression changed drastically, it seemed like he realized something. He could not help but say, "The Mystery Lantern Clan has always respected His Highness Long Shangdi, as well as the way he respects Feng Zun. His Highness Long Shangdi visited the Netherworld World to search for the secret of reincarnation, and search for the existence of the Chosen Humans. Teacher, don't tell me that Feng Zun is…"

But before he could finish, the Daoist-robed old man shook his head and cut him off, "It's most likely impossible."

"Can't be?" exclaim that young man.

His teacher sighed deeply, "I'm also quite doubtful, if His Highness Long Shangdi disappeared five hundred years ago to reincarnate, he should now be five hundred years old...

"As for the possibility that he was a Chosen Human, that was also impossible. If in the various higher worlds he could not find it, wouldn't it be less likely that the legend would appear in the Luo Land?"

"I have observed Feng Zun's aura and appearance, and he is roughly eighteen years old. There was no way to fake someone like that, and any secret art could not disguise it. That alone proved that Feng Zun could not possibly be that Chosen Human, let alone the reincarnation of His Highness Long Shangdi."

The young man in white sighed in relief, "I'm glad that he's not one of them. If not, it'll be scary…"

The truth and the situation are hard to believe. If this news got out, no one would believe it.

After all, the problem was not only about the True Dragon God, but also involved the secret of reincarnation and the legendary Chosen Human.

Who would dare to believe that such a short and insignificant rumor could actually come true?

And who would dare to believe that a young man of a dozen years from the Luo Mainland, would have anything to do with His Majesty the True Dragon God?

The Daoist-robed old man smiled, but his expression looked somewhat conflicted, "Although that's not true, Feng Zun's origin is still very strange and suspicious. With my cultivation base, even I can't see the depth, the more I think about it, the more mysterious he seems…"

But then, he shook his head, "However, this thing has nothing to do with us, so we don't have to spend energy thinking about it."

The white-robed young man agreed completely, "You're absolutely right, teacher. Who cares how many secrets Feng Zun has? None of his secrets have anything to do with us."

The old man sighed, "You're wrong. Doesn't he already know our origins, and most likely he also knows our purpose. So we can't stay silent."

The young man looked dumbfounded, "Then Master, what do you want to do?"

The old man pondered for a while, then made up his mind, "When we meet him tomorrow, I'll have a quick chat with him."

"Your Majesty, there's something I want to talk to you about." whispered the blind old man.

"Speak" said Feng Zun. 

He had already fallen down on his favorite rattan chair, and he was planning to fall asleep.

"Now, it's not just the members of Zeng Mo Palace who are aware of my identity. Even the pair of teachers and disciples had known about it as well. I'm worried that if news leaks out, we'll get into trouble in the Netherworld."

Feng Zun laughed and said, "Actually, I don't think this is a bad thing."

The blind old man's eyebrows shot up.

Feng Zun continued, "Damballa killed your teacher, Lord Zhang. It may have happened hundreds of years ago, but that doesn't mean no one is paying attention...

"If they find out that a descendant of the Mystery Lantern Clan like you has appeared, enemies might come looking for us of their own accord...

"If that happens, we can know their background and identity one by one, as well as their intentions, so we can learn a few things."

Only then did the blind old man understand. 

There was no doubt that Feng Zun was using him as bait to fish!

It was somewhat similar to what the Netherworld World Judge had done with Chang Ziyan's jade pendant.

A moment later, the blind old man realized something and he became tense, "But what if Demon Emperor Damballa comes looking for us? Wouldn't it be so bad!"

Years ago, he had escaped from Netherworld with the intention of escaping the Demon Emperor Damballa!

Feng Zun's gaze was far and deep as he whispered, "If he really dares to appear in the Netherworld World, then I will face him personally. And it would also be considered revenge for your teacher."

He spoke in a relaxed manner, without the slightest emotion.

However, his words gave the blind old man goosebumps.

What kind of existence was Demon Emperor Damballa?

After he brought down the Tian Clan Realm, he was not only famous in the Nine Prefectures of Wild Orion. Even in the Netherworld World, everyone knew about him. 

He was so powerful that even most of the Imperial Apex, could only bow his head and bow before him!

Yet it seemed that Feng Zun was not worried about him at all!

He sounded so ordinary, as if dealing with the legendary Primordial Demon God, whose intimidating name Wild Orion was a trivial matter, as if it was barely even worth mentioning.

The blind old man was surprised! 

After a while, the blind old man sighed with emotion, "Your Majesty, sometimes, I almost suspect that you and His Highness the Dragon God or the Chosen Man in the legend, are, it's the same person." 

He said this because Feng Zun had the same nature and disposition as Long Shangdi. And it was common that those Chosen Humans were destined to become True Dragon God disciples, of course they would have the same nature.

The way he said that, showed he had absolutely no faith, that Feng Zun was truly a Chosen Human himself.

Feng Zun could not help but laugh. 

He took out a bottle of wine, then took a sip, "Maybe?"

The blind old man was stunned for a moment, but a moment later, his expression became solemn as never before. 

He said solemnly, "Your Majesty Feng, when we get to the Netherworld World, whatever you do, you must not joke around with such a thing! If you do, I'm afraid you'll invite a fatal disaster!"
