Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653: Hei Sha the Fugitive’s Threat
Xia Yao’s expression was serious.
Ye Feng, Huo Lingjiao, and Hu Feifei all looked at her incredibly beautiful face, where they could see anger and worry, becoming more curious in their hearts.
"It seems you’ve returned to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and encountered some unhappy events."
Ye Feng whispered.
"Yaoyao, quickly tell us, what exactly did you experience?" Huo Lingjiao grabbed Xia Yao’s shoulder, shaking it a bit, like she was being playful.
"It’s like this..."
Xia Yao shared the general process.
Upon knowing that within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, apart from the nine Supreme Divine Kings at the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level and the State Preceptor who controls the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, there is also an Elder Council that has eighteen members above the Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor level, Ye Feng and the others all showed expressions of surprise.
"Elder Council of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom!"
Ye Feng furrowed his brows.
After the Little Monkey from the Abyss Clan escaped from the Black Prison, he could hide in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and even knew the secret technique to steal the water from the Eternal Ancient Divine Pool, indicating there was an undercover agent inside the kingdom.
Now, Ye Feng suspected, the undercover agent was someone from the Elder Council of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.
As for the nine Supreme Divine Kings...
They were almost impossible to be the undercover.
These nine experts were personally nurtured by the Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable as Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, each one loyally devoted, making them very unlikely to be undercover agents.
The possibility lies with the people of the Elder Council.
"You just mentioned that after the elders of your Elder Council learned you were hunting Black Prison convicts, they still advised you not to hunt them? It seems these people have a problem!"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but murmur.
The duty of the State Preceptor in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom is to maintain the balance of the universe, and the people of the Elder Council couldn’t be unaware of this.
Yet, Black Prison convicts are heinous criminals, capable of slaughtering countless living beings across galaxies at any time, causing a universe imbalance.
Such tumors must be eradicated.
However, some elders of the Elder Council advised Xia Yao not to hunt the convicts, which is indeed strange.
"I suspect the tragic deaths of past State Preceptors upon leaving office are connected to the Elder Council."
Xia Yao said solemnly.
The members of the Elder Council are very mysterious; upon becoming elders, they rarely reveal their true appearances in front of others, even during meetings at the Elders’ Hall, everyone covers their image with mist.
Even Xia Yao doesn’t know their appearances.
"It can be suspected, but there’s no evidence."
Ye Feng said.
He also suspected that the elders of the Elder Council colluded with the Little Monkey from the Abyss Clan, but... where’s the evidence?
Without evidence, it’s all empty talk.
"Why don’t I go find the evidence? While I am still the State Preceptor, possessing the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, I can directly suppress all members of the Elder Council and interrogate them one by one, to get the desired outcomes."
Xia Yao spoke shockingly.
"No!" Ye Feng was drenched in sweat, thinking Xia Yao was indeed too fierce, "What if they aren’t the ones involved, you might alarm them."
"Then what should I do?" Xia Yao frowned, "Anyway, I will not listen to them, if you continue hunting convicts, I’ll certainly help you."
Having passed the State Preceptor’s examination, she was originally a very stubborn person, determined to do what she’s set her mind on.
"No hurry for now." Ye Feng shook his head, "Currently, I’m quite strong; as long as I don’t encounter an Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor, I can basically kill any convict myself. I’ll go hunt the convicts alone for the next period."
Ye Feng didn’t want to make things difficult for Xia Yao either.
Of course, if encountering those convicts at the Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor level or above, he’d certainly ask Xia Yao to assist to keep his cards hidden.
"Alright," Xia Yao nodded.
"Haha, let’s not talk about these distressing things anymore, come, eat the grilled fish." Huo Lingjiao and Hu Feifei had already grilled several large fish, placed them on the dining table, immediately exuding a rich aroma.
"So fragrant!"
Xia Yao smelled the aroma and quickly started eating, her previous gloom swept away.
...
Deep in the starry sky.
A Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor convict sat before a tea table, looking ahead.
There, someone stepped slowly closer.
A mysterious cultivator enveloped in white mist, so powerful that even this Ninety Layer convict’s pupils shrank, sighing with inferiority.
"Why have you come?"
This convict said irritably.
"Xia Yao rejected us; she plans to continue assisting Ye Feng in hunting you all." The mysterious figure in the white mist spoke in a hoarse voice, indiscernible of gender.
"Damn!"
The Ninety Layer convict cursed angrily.
Xia Yao, possessing the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, was terrifying; if targeted by her, he would be smashed to bits in less than three rounds.
"Don’t be anxious!" The figure in the white mist slowly spoke, "You can negotiate with Ye Feng, I have a way to make them apprehensive."
"Oh?" The Ninety Layer convict widened his eyes and quickly asked, "Hurry, tell me!"
...
Several days later.
At the peak of Misty Peak.
A rich aroma spread.
Ye Feng stared at the Evil Thought Fruit in front of him, which had grown to the size of a fist, laughing, "Haha, the second Evil Thought Fruit has finally matured completely."
Now, it’s only the end of January.
This means it took only a month for him to successfully nurture two Evil Thought Fruits, perhaps enabling him to complete the task of collecting Evil Thought Fruits before June, in time for that Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor’s meeting.
"Gather!"
Ye Feng formed a hand seal, quickly collecting the Evil Thought Fruit into a square wooden box.
Rip!
At that moment, a burly figure shattered the void, appearing before Ye Feng out of thin air.
"Ninety Layer Immortal Emperor!"
In the small courtyard at the peak of Misty Peak, the Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor suddenly stood up, eyeing the burly figure. Fortunately, her concealment means were strong; she noticed them, but they hadn’t discovered her presence.
"Ye Feng!"
The burly figure called out.
"Who are you?" Ye Feng eyed the figure, then glanced at the Black Compass in his hand; his expression changed instantly, "You’re actually a Black Prison convict!"
"Correct, I am Hei Sha."
The burly figure said with hands behind his back.
"Don’t you know I specifically hunt Black Prison convicts? You still dare to visit, looking for death?" Ye Feng laughed, turned to Xia Yao nearby.
"Here to die?"
Xia Yao extended her hand, the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron appearing in her palm, ready to kill Hei Sha anytime.
"You cannot kill me." Hei Sha stated, glancing at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, your Black Compass should be able to determine the whereabouts of all our convicts, right? Now, check where the convicts are hiding."
Ye Feng looked at the Compass, his expression darkening.
Tens of thousands are hiding in the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Domain, tens of thousands hiding in the Three Thousand Realms, and they are all in places like Tianzhou and Xuanzhou of the Great Thousand World.
At least ten convicts escaped from the Black Prison in each Great Thousand World.
These individuals are no weaker than the Thirty-four Layer Immortal Emperor.
If they attack those Great Thousand Worlds desperately, it’ll be enough to kill approximately fifty percent of the current living beings in the universe within a short time, causing turmoil across realms.
"Ye Feng, you are a smart person, you should understand our intentions. If you and Xia Yao continue to hunt us, we will fight destructively."
Hei Sha sneered.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and the others’ faces turned somber.
[Good night everyone!]
