Chapter 123: Old Man Feng Lends a Hand

The voice had barely faded when Jiang Xiaofei grew wary. A figure suddenly appeared within his line of sight. When he saw who it was, surprise flashed across his face.

“How did you get in here?”

Old Man Feng laughed. “It is merely the power of a divine law. If I wish to enter, I enter; if I wish to leave, I leave. You, on the other hand, are not getting out!”

“What do you want?” Jiang Xiaofei asked, frowning.

“I naturally came to help you.”

“Help me?” Jiang Xiaofei looked puzzled. “Why would you help me? And why should I believe you will not harm me?”

Old Man Feng chuckled. “Because I have taken a liking to you. No, more precisely, I have taken a liking to your potential. Your potential is truly terrifying. Even I was inferior to you at your age.”

He paused before continuing, “Of course, I do have a condition for helping you.”

“What condition?” Jiang Xiaofei asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

Old Man Feng smiled. “I want you to lend me a hand and kill the Netherworld King.”

“What? You want me to help you kill the Netherworld King?” Jiang Xiaofei was shocked. He naturally knew what that name represented. The Netherworld King was the ruler of the Netherworld Realm and a Half-Step Divine Path expert. Moreover, the Netherworld Realm had more than one Half-Step Divine Path expert. Trying to kill the Netherworld King would more likely end with them being killed themselves.

Seeing the concern in Jiang Xiaofei’s eyes, Old Man Feng smiled. “I am not asking you to help me kill him now. I have endured in silence for many years and survived countless ages. Why should I be in such a hurry? Once you become a god, all you need to do is promise to lend me a hand!”

“Is it really that simple?” Jiang Xiaofei asked, frowning slightly.

Old Man Feng nodded. “It is that simple.”

Jiang Xiaofei thought for a moment before saying, “Fine. I agree. But can you take me out first? My people are still waiting for me.”

“Very well. I shall send you out now.”

Old Man Feng nodded, then waved his hand. A surge of divine power enveloped Jiang Xiaofei’s body.

Outside, Young Master Wuji and the Corpse King were locked in a fierce battle. Although Young Master Wuji held the upper hand at every turn, the Corpse King grew braver as the fight continued, and even Young Master Wuji was beginning to feel alarmed.

The Corpse King seemed impossible to kill, as though he were constantly awakening the potential within his body. This excited Young Master Wuji. In his eyes, the Corpse King was undoubtedly a pure-blooded dragon descendant; otherwise, he could not possibly possess such powerful bloodline strength.

This only intensified his desire to subdue him. In his view, possessing a demon dragon as a mount would allow him to suppress Young Master Changyuan even without the support of the Three Great Domains.

Yet there was one thing he could not understand: how could a true dragon descendant appear in this tiny Underworld Division Realm?

“Whatever. This demon dragon will surely become this prince’s mount.”

After some thought, Young Master Wuji’s gaze darkened. He immediately fixed his eyes on the Corpse King and shouted coldly, “I will give you one chance to submit to this prince. Otherwise, die!”

“You can go to hell!”

The Corpse King flew into a rage. With a shake of the Demon Dragon Spear in his hand, a thousand spear shadows instantly enveloped Young Master Wuji, while an overwhelming momentum crashed down upon him.

“Since you insist on courting death, this prince will grant your wish.”

Faced with such an attack, Young Master Wuji was entirely unafraid. With a cold shout, he abruptly slammed his palm forward. Vast Netherworld power erupted and surged wildly, shattering the thousand spear shadows in an instant.

As the spear shadows broke apart, a tremendous force struck the Corpse King’s body and sent him flying.

An uproar immediately swept through the battlefield. The various forces were all stunned, while the Ghost Abyss army turned ashen. Now that the Corpse King had been defeated, Ghost Abyss had lost as well.

“Hahaha! Your Ghost Abyss has been defeated. Hurry up and surrender!”

Yang Guang could not help laughing aloud. Although he was injured, the sight before him filled him with indescribable excitement.

His gaze then turned cold. “And all the forces present, listen carefully. If you intend to choose a side, do it quickly. Otherwise, when my Heavenly Ghost army reaches your gates, do not blame me for showing no mercy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere across the battlefield grew tense.

It was true. Ghost Abyss had been defeated, and Heavenly Ghost City would soon become the supreme power in the Underworld Division. Yet submitting to them was absolutely impossible. But if they refused, would Heavenly Ghost City spare them? Obviously not. For a time, everyone hesitated.

The young man among the Ghost Marshal army was troubled as well. He had originally intended to assist Ghost Abyss, but now it seemed that even if he did, it would be useless. Heavenly Ghost City had the backing of forces from beyond the domains and was no longer something they could shake. They might even drag the entire Ghost Marshal army into ruin.

Although the morale of the Ghost Abyss army had fallen sharply, none of them retreated. There was only one conviction in their hearts: fight Heavenly Ghost City to the death. Even if the entire army were annihilated, they would defend the dignity of Ghost Abyss.

Perhaps sensing the unyielding will of the Ghost Abyss army, Yang Guang sneered. “Your advantage is already gone, yet you still wish to resist? You are simply seeking death. Since you want to die, I shall grant your wish.”

“Heavenly Ghost army, present yourselves!”

“Present!”

The moment Yang Guang spoke, a thunderous response rose from behind him.

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction. “Good. Heavenly Ghost army, hear my command! Slaughter the Ghost Abyss army. Leave no survivors!”

“You want to slaughter my Ghost Abyss army? You have not asked me yet!”

At that moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out. Every person present turned toward the sound in unison.

Under the eyes of the entire battlefield, the Netherworld Prison exploded. A man flew out from within.

It was Jiang Xiaofei.

His appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present. When they saw that it was Jiang Xiaofei, the Ghost Abyss army’s morale surged. Jun Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaofei emerge from the Netherworld Prison, Young Master Wuji was visibly shocked.

“How did you get out?”

Jiang Xiaofei sneered. “I simply walked out.”

“That is impossible.”

Young Master Wuji found it difficult to believe. “My Netherworld Locking Heaven Domain can imprison even peak Dao Extremity experts. Unless you are a Half-Step Divine Path expert—but how could that be possible?”

“Hahaha! It is time for me to begin killing.”

Jiang Xiaofei ignored Young Master Wuji. He laughed loudly, then suddenly slammed his palm downward. A gigantic palm seal took shape in the air.

On closer inspection, ghostly patterns could be seen winding across the palm seal, releasing a vast and imposing pressure of the Ghost Path.

It was the Ghost Saint Heavenward Seal.

The giant palm descended, and the pressure it carried overturned the surrounding void.

The might of that attack left the entire battlefield horrified. Every force was shaken. Under the crushing palm, tens of thousands of Heavenly Ghost soldiers were instantly crushed to pieces, without even the strength to resist.

“You damnable demon!”

When Yang Guang saw the heavy casualties suffered by the Heavenly Ghost army, he was both shocked and enraged. Yet there was nothing he could do. He hurriedly shouted at Young Master Wuji, “Young Master Wuji, attack! If you do not act now, our entire Heavenly Ghost army will be wiped out!”

Hearing Yang Guang’s voice, Young Master Wuji recovered from his shock. He immediately locked onto Jiang Xiaofei and shouted coldly, “So what if you broke my Netherworld Locking Heaven Domain? You will certainly die today!”

“Oh?”

Jiang Xiaofei frowned and turned his gaze toward Young Master Wuji. He gave a cold snort.

“Then I would like to see what ability you have to kill me.”
