The Feng Zun Journey
The Light in the Darkness
The Underground World
The underground world was a vast expanse built at the bottom of a huge abyss.
"Has the battle ended ....?"
Shen Ling stood in front of a pavilion, she silently clenched her fists, inwardly she tensed up and felt a deep sense of uncertainty.
The underground world was tens of thousands of feet below the surface.
When he stood here, all he heard was the sound of explosions from battles and massacres.
"It's already quite impressive, that Feng Zun has managed to survive to this second, even though in the end he will definitely still be killed."
Daoist Yi Qing said softly and confidently.
He and Shen Ling did not leave the underground world, but not because they were unwilling.
Instead, right before the Heavenly Devil Prison cultivator entourage left, Mu Chentong had previously ordered the cultivators stationed here, to keep an eye on the two of them and they should not leave without permission from him.
There were two Nirvana cultivators and two mortal cultivators stationed near the pavilion.
"Killed? That's not possible. If Young Master Feng Zun dared to come here, he would definitely have a reason that made him confident. He would not be that stupid, to come unprepared and seek his own death." - Shen Ling.
Just like Han Mei, Feng Zun had also left a too deep impression on her.
Even when they first met, no matter how great the danger before him, whenever people thought that Feng Zun would definitely lose, he still grabbed a landslide victory!
Thinking in more detail, Feng Zun's battle in the Zhou Dynasty in the past, he felt reassured.
Because of these heaven-defying records and achievements, Feng Zun had become an invincible young legend of Zhou the Great.
Recalling all those facts, Shen Ling did not believe that Feng Zun would lose!
“The world is undergoing a great change and is full of uncertainties. With the strength that the Heavenly Devil Prison possessed, killing Feng Zun would be no more difficult than squeezing ants.” Daoist Yi Qing said.
When he saw Shen Ling's stubborn expression, he shook his head and said, “Shen Ling, accept this reality. When dharma protector Mu Chentong returns, you must apologize properly. Given his status, he would definitely not pursue the matter earlier.”
He paused for a moment, then added, “Serving by his side will be no different from accepting an eternal destiny, you are destined to soar and your future will be.”.
"Enough!"
Shen Ling was so angry that her delicate body trembled, "I've said it, even if I die, I won't submit to the vile old demon, whose sin can't be atoned for like her!"
Daoist Yi Qing froze, and was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't help but lose his temper in the end, “Shen Ling, I did this for your own good! I don't want to see him force you!”
"For my own good?"
Shen Ling's pretty face paled, and she felt very sad.
He already could not be bothered to discuss this with his teacher any further.
At the same time, they heard footsteps approaching from a distance.
Realizing this Daoist Yi Qing was instantly excited, "Did dharma protector Mu Chentong have returned?"
Shen Ling's heart trembled, and her expression changed.
But then, he realized that something was wrong.
Previously, dozens of heretical cultivators had left the underground world to fight against Feng Zun, including Elder Su Ying, an extremely terrifying old monster.
But if they came out victorious, how could Mu Chentong just return alone?
A tall and handsome figure was walking towards them.
He wore a golden white robe, walked calmly, and was indifferent.
The underground world was dimly lit, but when he saw the figure appear, he was like a beam of light that illuminated and warmed Shen Ling's heart.
That's her! It really is him!
Shen Ling's heart trembled with emotional turmoil, and her delicate body also trembled.
He felt like someone was about to drown in the middle of a wave, yet a lifeboat appeared, just in time.
“You.... You... How is this possible!?”
When Daoist Yi Qing saw Feng Zun, he was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. His face was filled with disbelief, and he was completely flabbergasted.
Feng Zun was here, but Elder Su Ying, the dharma protector Mu Chentong, and the other experts of the Heavenly Devil Prison had not returned yet.
Both Daoist Yi Qing and Shen Ling were fully aware of the implications!
The four Heavenly Devil Prison cultivators guarding the pavilion also found Feng Zun, but the moment they were about to attack, they felt excruciating pain within their sea of consciousness, making everything dark, he said, consciousness left them.
Their bodies fell limp to the ground, and their life force withered like receding water.
Their souls had been annihilated secretly!
When he saw this, Daoist Yi Qing shuddered, "You ... Could it be that you killed Elder Su Ying and the others?"
"Are those your last words?" asked Feng Zun casually.
Daoist Yi Qing instantly froze, then gulped with difficulty, "Young Master, what do you mean by that?"
A slash!
Feng Zun simply waved his hand, and a transparent thread instantly shot towards Daoist Yi Qing, it left a bloody hole between his eyes.
The old man staggered back, and died on the spot.
Shen Ling's pretty face paled, then said, "Young Master Feng, why did you kill my teacher?"
"He deserves to die" said Feng Zun.
“For a teacher who forced his own student to become the concubine of an old demon, it was an unforgivable deed, he was worse than a savage beast. So why let it stay alive?”
"...."
Shen Ling could not say anything.
He suddenly realized that Feng Zun seemed to have heard their conversation earlier.
"Do you know where Weng Chatai and his wife are imprisoned?" asked Feng Zun.
"I don't know who they are." whispered Shen Ling, “But I know where the Heavenly Devil Prison holds its prisoners.”
"Bring me there."
"Good."
Shen Ling walked first and led the way.
In the underground world, pavilions were built as many as trees in the wilderness, and there were also many palaces.
Many cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Prison were placed all over the buildings in the underground world, but none of them were aware of what was going on outside.
