Chapter 6074: It’s a Trap
“What happened to Song Yun?” Chu Feng asked.
The Netherworld Envoy quickly shared what he had heard with Chu Feng.
After Chu Feng killed Immortal Slaughterer’s Number Three and Number Four, Number Two returned to the Netherworld Sect and requested help. The Netherworld Sect was hesitant to get involved, but someone proceeded to accuse Chu Feng of killing one of their sectmembers.
But Song Yun shouldered the crime and was now imprisoned.
She would have been fine if she had stood still, but she intervened because she didn’t want to see harm befalling Chu Feng.
“Where’s Song Yun locked?” Chu Feng asked.
“She’s locked at an important location in our Netherworld Sect. I shouldn’t tell you where it is, but young friend Chu Feng, if you visit the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar, I’ll tell you where Song Yun is imprisoned,” the Netherworld Envoy said.
Chu Feng passed the formation realm containing Tian Ming and the villagers to Wang Qiang.
“Brother, wait for me where the Psychesoul Grass is. I have the Netherworld Embryo planted inside me, which makes me half a Netherworld Sectmember. I might still be able to maneuver my way out if anything happens, but the same can’t be said about you. It’ll be best for you not to come with me. Instead, if anything happens, I’ll be counting on you to save me, all right?” he said via voice transmission.
“A-a-all right.”
Wang Qiang thought those words made sense, so he took the formation realm and left the area.
“Elder, lead the way,” Chu Feng said.
He wasn’t too worried as he didn’t think that the Netherworld Envoy would harm him, plus he had escape means too.
“Young friend Chu Feng, I’ll need you to wear our Netherworld Sect’s robe to disguise yourself. It’ll make it easier for me to bring you in.”
The Netherworld Envoy passed a Netherworld Sect’s robe and veiled hat to Chu Feng, and the latter immediately put it on.
“Young friend Chu Feng, our robe looks great on you,” the Netherworld Envoy complimented.
He earnestly wanted Chu Feng to join them.
In truth, Chu Feng had wanted to join the Netherworld Sect when he was still in the Nine Souls Galaxy. He was still extremely weak and wanted to have a backing then.
However, things were different now. Even if not for Little Fishy, it was unlikely that he would join the Netherworld Sect.
He was Jie Ranqing’s son! Joining such a sect would sully his mother’s good reputation!
“Elder, please lead the way. I have other matters to attend to,” Chu Feng said.
“All right. Young friend Chu Feng, it’s taboo for me to bring you into the Netherworld Sect. I won’t stop you from leaving if you fail to trigger the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar, but you mustn’t tell anyone where the altar is,” the Netherworld Envoy said.
“I’ll keep it a secret,” Chu Feng promised.
Soon, they arrived at one of the Netherworld Sect’s camps.
It was located underground. It was so discreet that Chu Feng would have never found this place if not for the Netherworld Envoy bringing him here.
The environment here wasn’t much different from how it was outside. There weren’t any flora and fauna, but there were countless towering buildings that looked like a forest. These buildings were monotonously dark, giving rise to a solemn, repressive atmosphere.
All the people here were Netherworld Sectmembers. They were extremely disciplined, busying themselves with whatever work they had on hand. No one was engaging in idle chatter. It was surprisingly quiet despite the crowd.
The Netherworld Envoy brought Chu Feng through the crowd, till they arrived at a massive palace that spanned tens of thousands of meters in height. There were many guards stationed in front of the palace’s gates, and Chu Feng could sense that they had reached True God level.
The Netherworld Envoy, as a mid Half-God level cultivator, shouldn’t have been allowed to enter the palace, but when he took out a black token inscribed with the word ‘Netherworld’, the guards stepped aside and let him through.
The guards stationed deeper inside the palace also let them pass.
“It was already pushing it for me to be promoted to a Demon-tier Netherworld Envoy, but I received this token on top of that. These are my reward for bringing Miss Song Yun back,” the Netherworld Envoy explained to Chu Feng via voice transmission.
“The Netherworld Sect is imprisoning Song Yun even though she’s so important to them?” Chu Feng asked.
“Killing our brethren is taboo. Under normal circumstances, Miss Song Yun would have been sentenced to death,” the Netherworld Envoy explained.
“Is Song Yun in danger?”
“Things don’t look optimistic for her.”
The two of them passed through a corridor filled with guards and arrived before a spirit formation gate. On the other side of the spirit formation gate was a vast realm.
The realm was filled with lush forests, mountains, and waterfalls. It looked like a beautiful place that was at odds with the Netherworld Sect.
After walking a little more, they arrived at a teleportation formation.
“It’s a one-way formation leading outward,” Chu Feng pointed out.
“As expected of young friend Chu Feng. On the other side of the teleportation formation is not just our Netherworld Embryo Spirituality Summoning Formation but a special cultivation ground too. Some of our sect’s powerhouses occasionally come here to cultivate. I’m guessing that our predecessors created this to make it convenient to leave,” the Netherworld Envoy explained.
“Will I be able to leave through this formation later?” Chu Feng asked.
“Of course. Only those of a certain stature are allowed to enter. They can all use this formation to leave. I also usually leave via this formation.”
The two of them ventured deeper, and Chu Feng finally saw the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar. It was located in the center of a square, which could accommodate hundreds of millions of people. This formation realm might have been constructed around the altar too.
This altar was extremely tall, piercing through the clouds.
Chu Feng could tell that the altar was not to be made light of. Many important figures must have come to watch when the altar was activated.
The altar was covered in obscure runes that emanated a faint light, a sign that it was activated.
“Do I just have to step on the altar?” Chu Feng asked.
“That’s right.” The Netherworld Envoy nodded.
“For how long?”
“It should react right away.” The Netherworld Envoy landed at the top of the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar and smiled. “If the altar doesn’t react, like in my case, it would mean that your compatibility with the Netherworld Embryo is lacking.”
He leaped down from the altar and said, “Young friend Chu Feng, give it a try.”
Chu Feng didn’t step on the altar right away. “What happens if there’s a reaction? Will it cause a huge commotion?”
He didn’t want that to happen, for he wouldn’t be able to leave otherwise.
“There will be a reaction, but there won’t be a huge commotion.”
“Good.”
Chu Feng leaped to the top of the altar, but his heart quivered right away. He realized that he had been tricked!
