Chapter 898 Master, there’s no one else now
Chapter 899 Great Love Legion, Sin Legion
It is also for this reason that the citizens of Extreme Abyss City deeply admired Huang Zhaoyue.
However, as Extreme Abyss City gradually became safer, Huang Zhaoyue gradually faded from people’s sight. For ordinary people, it has been dozens of generations since they only heard of Zhaoyue’s name but never saw her.
But this still did not hinder people’s worship and reverence for Huang Zhaoyue.
Night falls, and Xia Feng continuously nourishes Evil Crow Feather with Purest Dragon Blood while shuttling through tall buildings. At the same time, he listens in all directions. The fine sounds entering his ears, and some conversations quickly caught his attention.
“Good news! Her Highness the Imperial Concubine’s wedding seems to be postponed~ Hey, buddy, I told you, this won’t work out.”
“Hiss~ Shut up! How dare you say such things, you idiot, you’re not afraid of death, but I am!”
“But I just can’t stand it. Huang Shikui is a cripple who isn’t even a Venerable. He’s lived for thousands of years only by relying on the Pillar State’s life support. Why should Her Highness the Imperial Concubine marry someone like that? Damn it! What is the Pillar State thinking?!”
“Damn! Keep your voice down!”
“What are you afraid of? After a few days without seeing you, why are you so cowardly, brother.”
“Heh~ If those words are heard by the Sin Shadow, be careful of losing your head in the middle of the night!”
“Wo-wo-wo Great Sin?! Brother, what do you mean, have those people arrived?”
“Nonsense, why else would I be so careful!”
Sin Shadow? Xia Feng pondered and quickly remembered.
There are two legions directly under Pillar State Huang Ye, and the Sin Legion is one of them. The leader of the legion is [Disciple·Sin Day].
Sin Shadow is an S-grade Spirit Robe inherited by the Sin Legion, and it also refers to the generals of the Sin Legion.
“My old dad secretly told me that Venerable Ni Yan arrived at Extreme Abyss at dawn today and requested an audience with Her Highness the Imperial Concubine. Three hours have passed, and he is still kneeling outside the Extreme Abyss Mansion waiting for an audience.”
“Venerable Ni Yan’s Sin Shadow can hear all things. Perhaps the entire city is under his surveillance, but I heard that this Shadow Venerable dislikes the sounds of intercourse the most. My dad repeatedly warned me not to talk nonsense during this period, and not to cause trouble. So, little brother, we really have to refrain from indulgence today.”
“.”
On the rooftop, Xia Feng listened to the conversation for a while longer. After confirming that there was no useful information, he turned around, identified the direction, entered the Holy Knight Space, and rushed towards the high mountain hidden under the dim dark clouds to the east.
While on the road, Xia Feng recalled the legion composition of the Four Pillar States.
First Pillar State: Great Love, Great Sin
Second Pillar State: Destroyed
Third Pillar State: Yama, Angel
Fourth Pillar State: Li Dong, Yin Dragon
The Li Dong Legion was a newly established legion after Shang Jue ascended. It only had a military history of three thousand years and was the weakest in overall strength.
The Angel Legion and the Sin Legion were formed the earliest, but after the Angel King disappeared, the Angel Legion also gradually declined.
As for the Sin Legion, due to the special nature of its inherited Spirit Robe, its overall strength would take a small step forward every thousand years, faintly aiming to reproduce the peak of the Great Love Legion of the past.
In addition, there was one point where the Sin Legion was most different from the other seven legions: the number of disciples.
The other seven legions had only 2-3 disciples below the Pillar State.
The Sin Legion had as many as 5. Except for the newly formed Li Dong Legion, which had lower requirements, the normal requirements for a disciple were at least Sacred Realm strength, and must be at least an A-grade dual-fruit position Sacred Realm.
Sin disciples were also known as the Five Shadow Venerables, and Venerable Ni Yan was one of them.
Xia Feng didn’t know why Venerable Ni Yan specially came to Extreme Abyss City to find Huang Zhaoyue. Could it be that Huang Ye discovered Huang Zhaoyue’s little actions and intended to take coercive measures to arrest her?
While contemplating, Xia Feng arrived at the foot of Extreme Abyss Mountain.
Then he got into trouble. Extreme Abyss Mountain was surrounded by heavy formations, and he couldn’t get in at all.
Forcing his way in would inevitably cause a huge commotion and alert Venerable Ni Yan.
That woman, Huang Zhaoyue, only made an agreement with him but didn’t provide a convenient way to contact her. It was really troublesome.
However, Xia Feng soon thought of a solution. He extended his dragon tail, and the abyssal black tip still had a wisp of abyssal sin lingering around it.
Whipping his dragon tail, the tip of the tail gently touched the surface of the formation. Subtle ripples spread out and quickly disappeared without a trace.
He hoped this method would work.
At the summit of Extreme Abyss Mountain.
There was no magnificent palace here, only a dilapidated temple.
However, the temple’s stone walls were as black as ink, and as cold as the underworld.
Heavy gray clouds pressed down on the sky, almost level with the roof of the dim temple.
Tree shadows swayed, the temple door was tightly closed, and only two dim yellow oil lamps flickered on both sides.
A middle-aged man wearing green wood armor was kneeling on one knee in front of the temple door, bowing respectfully.
In the dim light, his strange face could be vaguely seen.
That face did not look like a real person, but rather like a wooden face pieced together from seven or eight light yellow wooden blocks, with true sharp angles and very stiff.
In the center of his forehead grew a wooden rhinoceros horn, and the tip of the horn occasionally flashed with a strange blue-white light.
The wooden square mouth of the man in green armor opened and closed, and his hoarse voice was cold and emotionless: “Your Highness, it’s time to set off.”
There was a long silence, and still no response from inside the temple.
Time slowly passed in the darkness until the sun rose in the east. A ray of dawn golden light broke through the heavy dark clouds, passed through the eaves of the temple roof, and landed behind the man in green armor, casting small light spots on the ground.
The light spots ignited, and about a dozen clumps of slurry in the surrounding shadows converged towards the center of the light spots, gradually condensing upwards into a muddy human-shaped figure wearing a feather robe.
After a flash of red light, the dark red feather robe on the mud figure immediately became real, and its face and expression became vivid.
However, this person had blood-red eyeliner around his eyes, and his face was androgynous and feminine, making it impossible to distinguish his gender.
His voice was also feminine and neutral, and his tone was disrespectful, “Heh~ Her Highness the Imperial Concubine, you have been hiding inside and refusing guests, which is not a good method.”
His name was [Zhuo Hua], and he was also one of the Five Shadow Venerables.
“If you don’t come out again, don’t blame us for using forceful means~ It won’t be good if Her Highness is injured then.”
*Bang* – As soon as the mocking and disrespectful words fell, he and the wooden man kneeling beside him, Ni Yan, simultaneously felt their bodies sink. The surrounding space solidified into dark stone textures, and the ground beneath their feet crackled and spread rapidly.
In a daze, Zhuo Hua seemed to see a pair of majestic dragon pupils quietly opening from the distant dark abyss, looking down indifferently.
A faint chill of death descended upon him, and his expression instantly became serious. With his hands forming seals that changed rapidly, his figure scattered into wisps of mud and mist, flashing rapidly backward. At the same time, a dark gold token flew out of the mud mist.
The front of the token was engraved with a bright golden crown, and the back was engraved with the character 【皇】 (Huang) with divine radiance circulating.
“The Pillar State’s oral command, Huang Zhaoyue, together with the two Shadow Venerables Ni Yan and Zhuo Hua, will set off immediately. There must be no delay!”
Zhuo Hua’s indifferent cold voice echoed through the netherworld. “Your Highness, do you still intend to ignore the majesty of the Pillar State and disobey the order!”
