Chu Feng had never met the Netherworld Envoys before, but he had heard of them. They were a bunch of mysterious but incredibly powerful cultivators.
They had a custom of planting terrifying monsters into the bodies of children that possessed superior cultivation talent. Those monsters would turn those talented children into fools with time.
The grandson of the Blood-Devouring Hallâs Hall Master had fallen prey to their means.
For that, the Blood-devouring Hallâs Hall Master had gone around searching for the whereabouts of the Netherworld Envoy and found them twice. It was just that he wasnât a match for the Netherworld Envoys at all.
His audacity for daring to challenge the Netherworld Envoys should have led to his death, but upon learning that his grandson had fallen prey to them, the Netherworld Envoys surprisingly spared him.
Song Yun had also fallen prey to the Netherworld Envoys too. Based on what she said, if not for a rare medicine she obtained, she would have already become a fool by now.
So far, there were no known means to deal with those monsters once they had been planted into a personâs body.
No one knew what the Netherworld Envoysâ real goal was, but they were indeed a fearsome bunch of people considering what they were doing. It was likely that they were from a vile organization.
âGo on,â Chu Feng said.
âG-go on with what? Iâve already told you everything I know!â Shengguang Yunyue exclaimed, but her eyes were flickering around nervously.
âHow could the Holy Light Clan know nothing about the Netherworld Envoys at all? I want you to spit out everything that you know!â
Chu Feng thought that it was impossible that the Holy Light Clan, as the overlords of the Holy Light Galaxy, would know nothing about the Netherworld Envoys. Shengguang Yunyueâs nervous response only further affirmed his guess.
âI-I really donât know!â
Shengguang Yunyue was still refusing to speak. Chu Fengâs gaze slowly turned cold.
âDonât force my hand.â
Chu Fengâs menacing gaze made Shengguang Yunyue recoil in horror.
âI-Iâll speak... Young hero Chu Feng, itâs not that Iâm trying to keep things from you. Our Holy Light Clan did try to investigate the Netherworld Envoys, but we didnât manage to uncover much,â Shengguang Yunyue said.
âJust tell me everything you know,â Chu Feng said.
So, Shengguang Yunyue started to divulge what she knew about the Netherworld Envoys.
The activities of the Netherworld Envoys werenât just limited to the Holy Light Clan. There were sightings of them all over the world of cultivation.
The Holy Light Clan were far from the top, but their desire to exert complete dominance over the Holy Light Galaxy was extremely strong. Naturally, they wouldnât allow an outsider like the Netherworld Envoys to fool around on their territory.
So, they dispatched a group of elites to hunt down the Netherworld Envoys many years back, only to swiftly lose touch with them.
One day, ten Netherworld Envoys suddenly appeared in the territory of the Holy Light Clan with a massive box. They opened the box and revealed the heads of the elites they had dispatched. One of them was even a grand elder.
They had all been killed by the Netherworld Envoys!
The Netherworld Envoys placed the box there and left without saying a word, but from then on, the Holy Light Clan no longer dared to pursue them anymore. It was not that they didnât want to but they didnât dare to.
The Netherworld Envoys were clearly a bunch not to be trifled with.
While the Netherworld Envoys never harmed any other members of the Holy Light Clan from that day on, the Holy Light Clan was still unable to rest at peace knowing that there was a huge threat lurking in their territory.
So, they tried to secretly investigate the affairs of the Netherworld Envoys, and it was then that they learned that the Netherworld Envoys operated all over the massive world of cultivation.
Putting aside the Holy Light Galaxy, the Netherworld Envoys were headaches for the other galaxies too. It was said that not even the powerful world spiritists of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion were able to remove those monsters once they were planted into oneâs body.
âEven the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion canât remove those monsters?â
Chu Feng was shocked.
âI donât know the details. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion looks down on our Holy Light Galaxy, so we couldnât verify the rumors with them,â Shengguang Yunyue replied.
âThe ones they look down on isnât our galaxy but the Holy Light Clan,â Long Xiaoxiao remarked.
Those words made Shengguang Yunyue glare at Long Xiaoxiao, but she quickly backed down upon sensing Chu Fengâs sharp gaze.
âEven the Seven Realms Galaxy isnât able to do anything about them?â
Chu Feng realized that the Netherworld Envoys were stronger than he had imagined.
The Seven Realms Sacred Manion was not just the overlord of the Seven Realms Galaxy. It was also a place of gathering for the most powerful world spiritists in the world of cultivation.
If they were unable to do anything about those monsters too, Chu Feng would really have to re-evaluate the threat of those Netherworld Envoys. The Netherworld Envoys could very well be a threat to the entire world of cultivation.
That would mean that they were adversaries whom Chu Feng couldnât deal with at his current level.
âWhat other news do you have?â Chu Feng asked.
âThe Netherworld Envoys come from an organization known as the Netherworld Sect,â Shengguang Yunyue said, only to quickly cover her mouth in regret.
âYoung hero Chu Feng, regardless of whether youâre going to confront the Netherworld Envoys in the future or not, you mustnât tell them that I was the one who provided you with the information. Otherwise, it could bring calamity upon the Holy Light Clan!
âI concede that Iâm not a good person, but my clan members are innocent! I only know this much about them!â Shengugang Yunyue pleaded.
Chu Feng could understand her worries.
The Netherworld Envoys must have greatly traumatized the Holy Light Clan when they visited with the heads of their clan members and a grand elder back then.
âI wonât tell anyone that you were the one who conveyed this information to me,â Chu Feng harrumphed before putting Shengguang Yunyue back into the gourd.
He tried activating the ancient teleportation formation, but just as he had expected, it didnât work. There was nothing wrong with the ancient teleportation formation; it was just that his destination, the Flowersea Ordinary Realm, no longer existed.
Knowing that it was impossible for him to obtain the Great Monstrous Slayer Emperorâs heritage anymore, he looked into the boundless sky and sighed.
âNetherworld Sect, huh? I wonder what you all are up to.â
