Chapter 3956: The Silver Horn Clan in the Land of the Dead!
Similar to the Asura h.e.l.l, the Land of the Dead was an independent realm. The way to enter the Land of the Dead was similar to the Asura h.e.l.l as well. In the past, Feng Qing Yang had brought Duan Ling Tian to the Asura h.e.l.l. Presently, Ye Chen Feng brought him to the Land of the Dead.
After arriving at the Land of the Dead, Duan Ling Tian soon understood why the Land of Dead was said to be not as treacherous as the Asura h.e.l.l and the other five deadliest places. The soul-like ent.i.ties he and Ye Chen Feng encountered so far were all weak. Not only that, but they were rather timid as well; they would run away as soon as they saw Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng.
“I didn’t expect the Land of the Dead to be quite peaceful,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“The outskirts of the Land of the Dead are like this,” Ye Chen Feng said with a smile. Then, he asked, “Do you know that depending on the time we come to the Land of the Dead, we’ll be transported to different areas in the outskirts? However, we’ll be transported to the same place as long as we enter together.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded as he listened to Ye Chen Feng.
Ye Chen Feng sighed inwardly. Before attaining G.o.dhood, he had come to the Land of the Dead in hopes of capturing soul-like ent.i.ties so he could turn them into artifact souls for his family’s weapons. Now that years had pa.s.sed, he could not help but sigh when he returned to this place again.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian said, “Elder Ye, I’m not 100% certain my plan will work. I’ll send a message as planned, but I think we should also wander around and see if we can find anything while we wait to see if Mi Xuan takes the bait.”
Ye Chen Feng nodded in agreement. Although he was looking forward to capturing Mi Xuan, he knew there was no guarantee. Even if Duan Ling Tian could lead him directly to Mi Xuan, who knew if something would happen to Mi Xuan before then. Nothing was absolute in the world, after all. Hence, he tamped down his excitement and remained calm.
…
Over the next few days, after asking around, Duan Ling Tian found the Phantom clan’s estate.
…
When Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng arrived, they saw the estate was already in ruins. Even then, they could tell even before the estate was ruined, the living conditions were not very good.
At this moment, Ye Chen Feng suddenly said, “Duan Ling Tian, I have an idea.”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Ye Chen Feng curiously.
“Instead of searching for clues in the ruins of the estate, we should look for clans stronger than the Phantom clan. They might know something about the only surviving member of the Phantom clan. Moreover, we can get them to help us search around as well,” Ye Chen Feng said.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately. Then, a wry smile appeared on his face as he said, “Why didn’t I think of this? With Elder Ye’s presence, they’ll definitely tell us everything they know.”
Ye Cheng was an intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, after all. Even if he might not be the strongest person in the Land of the Dead, he was definitely still at the top. If the Phantom clan were still around, he would be able to easily annihilate the entire clan.
Ye Chen Feng said with a smile, “Well, you have a lot on your mind, after all. Since it’ll take at least a few days to see if your plan is a success, let’s do it my way for now. We should be able to find him eventually. There’s no way he didn’t leave any traces behind unless he didn’t move at all. Moreover, Lords of G.o.ds in the Land of the Dead are quite rare so he’s bound to attract attention.”
Ye Chen Feng naturally knew more about the Land of the Dead than Duan Ling Tian.
“We’ll do as you suggested, Elder Ye. Like you said, we’re bound to find something,” Duan Ling Tian said.
…
The Silver Horn clan was one of the few clans in the Land of the Dead that had physical forms. Its members resembled the Neanderthals on Earth, but they had a distinctive silver horn on their heads. The horns were very sharp and could be used as weapons. The horns of those who were powerful could even be compared to a prominent celestial weapon. As for their intelligence, they were like humans. Apart from that, since they had been in the Land of the Dead for a long time, their souls were much stronger than others with the same cultivation base.
As Ye Chen Feng and Duan Ling Tian hovered in the sky above a huge valley where the Silver Horn clan lived, Ye Chen Feng said, “The Silver Horn clan is said to be closely related to humans. It’s said that they were the offspring of humans and celestial beasts. Apart from that, the clan has many branches scattered throughout the Land of the Dead, and this is one of them. The strongest one here is an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds.”
Ye Chen Feng and Duan Ling Tian were hovering openly in the air, but the members of the Silver Horn clan did not seem to see them. This was because Ye Chen Feng had cast a technique that made them invisible to the Silver Horn clan members.
“Let’s go find the strongest one here,” Ye Chen Feng said as he brought Duan Ling Tian with him.
In just a blink of an eye, the duo arrived in a temple-like building deep in the valley. Then, in another blink of an eye, they appeared in a huge room that only held a table, a few chairs, and a bed.
At this time, an old Silver Horn clan member could be seen lying on the bed. Unlike the other clan members the duo had seen, this one resembled humans a lot. Apart from the silver horn on his head, which was very short and looked as though it was going to disappear soon, he looked like an ordinary old man.
Ye Chen Feng explained without any prompt, “The stronger they are, the more they’ll resemble humans. When they become Emperor of G.o.ds, their horns will disappear completely, and they’ll look exactly like humans. You won’t be able to distinguish them at all.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“He’ll wake up as soon as sense us,” Ye Chen Feng said before he withdrew the concealing technique.
The old man sensed the auras in his room and opened his eyes in shock. In just an instant, his Divine Consciousness swept out.
Ye Chen Feng scoffed. His energy easily dispelled the old man’s Divine Energy before he restrained the old man.
The old man’s eyes were filled with shock and fear as he cried out tremblingly, “E-emperor, Emperor of G.o.ds?!”
“Oh, you have a discerning eye,” Ye Chen Feng said nonchalantly before he withdrew his Divine Consciousness.
The old man inhaled deeply and got out of bed before he quickly bowed at Ye Chen Feng. “Greetings, my lord. I’m Chi Lu of the Silver Horn clan.”
Ye Chen Feng nodded slightly and said, “I have no ill intentions toward you or the Silver Horn clan. I want you to help me look for someone.”
After Ye Chen Feng finished speaking, he raised his hand and brought out a pill bottle. A divine pill flas.h.i.+ng with purple lightning bolts shot out of the bottle and hovered in the air. Its scent was rather fragrant. It was a lord-grade Limit Divine Pill, which Duan Ling Tian had no use for.
“This…” Chi Lu’s eyes widened in shock as he gasped. “The Purple Lightning Limit Divine Pill?”
The Purple Lightning Limit Divine Pill was ten times stronger than the ordinary version. Regardless of its version, it would lose efficacy if one took it more than three times.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had refined and consumed three Purple Lightning Limit Divine Pills that greatly raised his cultivation base.
Ye Chen Feng said, “If you manage to find the person I’m looking for, this divine pill will be yours.”
Chi Lu’s eyes lit up immediately. “My lord, who are you looking for? I’ll order the clan and the other lesser clans under our control to search for him!”
Chi Lu was the greatest oracle and the strongest powerhouse in this branch of the Silver Horn clan. Even the clan leader was his direct disciple. It would not be difficult for him to mobilize a force to search for Mi Xuan.
Ye Chen Feng said, “Mi Xuan from the Phantom clan.”
“Mi Xuan?” Chi Lu narrowed his eyes as his eyes flashed with hate, “My lord, may I ask why you’re looking for Mi Xuan?”
Ye Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Chi Lu with a piercing gaze as he said, “It seems like you know Mi Xuan.”
