Chapter 276 Emperor? One on the roadside!
After hearing what Wang Feng said, Mu Rong was silent for a moment.
"So it's you?" he asked calmly, "What are you doing here? What do you want to do to me?"
"Nothing," Wang Feng shrugged. "Someone asked me for help, so I came."
"Help?" Mu Rong sneered. "What does this have to do with me? The forbidden spell ritual has already begun, and even I can't stop it."
"You're mistaken," Wang Feng shook his head and suddenly revealed a dangerous smile, "The commission I received was to kill an emperor."
A strange light flashed in Mu Rong's eyes.
"Emperor?" He said in a low voice, "There is no emperor here. There is only a group of dragon king ants that endanger the sea, and a monarch-level sea monster that can bewitch people."
"No," Wang Feng looked directly into Mu Rong's eyes and spoke slowly, "Yes, it's you—the Emperor of the Southernmost Land!"
The smile on Mu Rong's face suddenly twisted, like a crumpled piece of paper. "The Emperor of the Southernmost Realm? What are you talking about?"
"Still pretending?" Wang Feng sneered, "Mu Rong led a team to explore the southernmost land, and in the end he was the only one who came back alive—"
"He knelt before you and begged for mercy," Wang Feng pressed on. "But you still turned him into a puppet and planted him in the human world, waiting for an opportunity to backstab him. Am I right?"
Mu Rong's expression froze instantly.
His eyes suddenly turned into two black holes, with bottomless darkness swirling inside.
Wisps of black air seeped out from the pores and twisted into hideous ghostly shadows in the air.
But Wang Feng was faster.
"Holy Country!"
A dazzling soul shadow burst out from behind him, and the shadow of the holy city in the sky descended with a loud bang.
The pure holy light rushed down like a waterfall, and the black air let out a shrill scream and was instantly purified.
"Damn it!" Mu Rong gritted his teeth, and the evil shadow in his body was completely suppressed.
Something was squirming frantically under his skin, but it was unable to break free from the constraints of the holy light.
"Don't struggle. The more you struggle, the more I like it."
Wang Feng's lips curled up into a playful smile, and suddenly a strange dark red star map appeared under his feet. The star trails that looked like they were drawn in blood were slowly rotating on the ground.
"King, what instructions do you have?" A charming figure rose from the star map. Queen Jiuyou lifted her long hair and raised her red lips slightly.
She exuded a suffocating aura of death, yet also a hint of charm.
Ever since devouring the Egyptian underworld, the Eight Dead Kings' strength has skyrocketed.
As the person that Wang Feng focused on training, Queen Jiuyou had even broken through that critical threshold—although she was only at the sub-emperor level, she had completely escaped the realm of the monarch.
Wang Feng casually pointed at Mu Rong and said, "Jiuyou, I'm giving this old thing to you as a toy."
"Oh my~" The Queen of the Nine Netherworld curled her lips in disdain and was about to complain when her eyes suddenly lit up: "Huh? It's actually the Emperor's soul?"
She immediately smiled like a flower and bowed to Wang Feng: "Thank you for your generous gift. When I have consolidated my cultivation, I will definitely repay you well." As she spoke, she blinked ambiguously.
"Get down quickly." Wang Feng waved his hand impatiently.
"As you command~" Queen Jiuyou turned to look at the immobile Mu Rong, with a charming smile that was a bit dangerous: "No matter where you are the emperor, since you have fallen into the hands of the king..."
She opened her red lips slightly, "Just be my nourishment~"
Mu Rong's face twisted: "Despicable humans! It was you who invaded my territory first! I will never..."
“Stop making so much noise!” Queen Jiuyou’s face turned cold, and she raised her jade hand slightly, pulling the evil soul out of Mu Rong’s body.
The ball of black gas struggled and twisted in her palm, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, which she collected into her sleeve and brought back to Shayuan.
Mo Fan and his group had just hurried over from the cabin when they saw the final scene of Queen Jiuyou taking away the evil spirit. They were all petrified instantly.
"Holy crap. Is that it?" Mo Fan opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Wang Feng shrugged: "I told you before, it's just a fragment of the Emperor's soul, what kind of waves can it cause?"
Hua Zhanhong stared at the place where Jiuyou disappeared, his Adam's apple rolled: "Could that undead just now be..."
"Yes, I raised it." Wang Feng said as if it was a matter of course.
"Hiss—" Hua Zhanhong took a breath and felt a chill on his back.
He quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Wang Feng with a bit of awe in his eyes.
This young man was even more unfathomable than he had imagined.
Wang Feng suddenly frowned. "Wait, where are Zhao Manyan and Monkey?"
“Holy shit!” Mo Fan slapped his forehead, “They’re still in the sea!”
After saying that, he rushed to the seaside, raising a cloud of dust behind him.
Hua Yuezhu and Mu Bai exchanged a glance, and without a word, they followed Mo Fan and ran away. The three of them disappeared on the coastline in the blink of an eye.
Wang Feng retracted his gaze and turned to look at Hua Zhanhong: "Captain Hua, what are you going to do with those Dragon King Ants in the sea?"
"Dragon King Ants?" Hua Zhanhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult. These beasts are too scattered. Even if I use forbidden spells, I may not be able to eliminate them all."
He looked at the sea with worry. "And just like Mu Bai said, this sea area is connected to the deep sea. If we rashly use the forbidden spell, we might end up helping the siren to open a passage. Then..."
Wang Feng nodded slightly and looked at the turbulent sea.
Hua Zhanhong's caution is not without reason, but allowing these sea monsters to stay here is not a long-term solution.
"Captain Hua," Wang Feng suddenly spoke, a hint of amusement in his eyes, "If I can solve the trouble in this sea area, is there any reward?"
"You? Deal with the sea monsters here?" Hua Zhanhong turned his head suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Are you sure?"
"Of course," Wang Feng smiled confidently, "and I guarantee it won't have any impact on the environment."
Hua Zhanhong fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping his arm unconsciously.
After a moment, he raised his head and said solemnly, "Alright! If you can clear this sea area without using forbidden spells, all the elemental diamonds in Qinhuangdao's inventory will be yours. I will also apply for a batch of special resources for you."
He paused, his tone turning serious: "But I must warn you, there is something lurking beneath the deep sea that even I cannot predict."
Wang Feng looked expectant when he heard this: "That's perfect! I can't wait for them to show up on their own initiative."
Looking at the fearless smile on the young man's face, Hua Zhanhong's tense nerves inexplicably relaxed a little.
Hua Zhanhong took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will wait here for good news."
Wang Feng raised a meaningful smile and looked at the sea in the distance with a sharp gaze where undercurrents were surging.
