Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1443 - 1428: Sinister Forest Secret Realm

Though it was a deep night summons, Shi Feng knew in his heart that Yud Xin sought him not for any illicit affair.

The reason for saying that earlier was that this woman was playing coy and making him guess!

Guess, my foot!

Moreover, on the way, Shi Feng vaguely guessed that this woman approaching him likely meant no good.

They weren't very familiar; if there was something good, she wouldn't think of him!

Shi Feng's eyes remained fixed on the extremely beautiful woman, awaiting her response!

Why exactly did she come to him?

Yud Xin slowly spoke, addressing Shi Feng: "There is a secret place within the Sinister Forest, and when we enter it, I want to invite you to join me."

"A secret place in the Sinister Forest?" Hearing Yud Xin's words, Shi Feng's expression suddenly shifted, his eyes squinted, and then he stared at the woman, saying, "The Sinister Forest, can you enter it?"

Shi Feng had heard from Ziyi that only the top ten contenders in the competition have the privilege to enter the Sinister Forest.

Yud Xin didn't participate in this competition, so she shouldn't have the right to enter the Sinister Forest, or does she have a special way in? Perhaps it's through Lin Yu?

Shi Feng had long heard that the Evil Demon Lin Yu was a disciple of the Sinister Three Demon Masters, could it be that Yud Xin's entry to the forest was facilitated by Lin Yu?

And the secret place she was talking about? Was it also something Lin Yu told her?

If that were true, then her invitation for him to join her in that secret place would also be Lin Yu's idea?

"Of course, I can enter the Sinister Forest!" said Yud Xin.

She continued, "Only by obtaining a top ten position in the competition can one earn the qualification to enter the Sinister Forest. And three years ago, I secured that qualification."

"I see!" Hearing Yud Xin's words, Shi Feng felt relieved.

Shi Feng then opened his mouth again, asking Yud Xin: "What exists in that secret place you mentioned? And what exactly is in the Sinister Forest?"

"The Three Demon Lords have issued orders; no one is allowed to disclose the situation inside the Sinister Forest to outsiders. Violators, death! But after the competition ends, once you enter the Sinister Forest, you will know what's there!

As for that secret place, I myself don't know what's inside! The last time I entered, a powerful presence came forth, had I not retreated quickly, I would have already died; I suspect it's an Ancient Land, which may contain an Ancient Supreme Treasure!"

As she finished speaking, Yud Xin's exceedingly beautiful face became exceptionally solemn, as if she harbored great fear toward that secret place.

"Ancient Land? Ancient Supreme Treasure?" Shi Feng murmured these words, and vaguely, Shi Feng recalled the road home within the Sinister Forest!

The path back to the Tianheng Continent must be an ancient road existing since ancient times; could this secret place Yud Xin mentioned be the very path leading back to Tianheng Continent?

Whether it is or isn't, he could visit that secret place then!

If it really is that path, it would save him a lot of time and unnecessary trouble.

"Alright, I accept your invitation! Then you will take me to that secret place." Shi Feng swiftly responded to Yud Xin's words, saying.

Then he asked Yud Xin: "Besides me, did you also invite Lin Yu?"

"Correct!" Yud Xin affirmed without denying, answering Shi Feng.

It wasn't anything to hide either; when they enter the Sinister Forest, they'll head there together.

Then, Yud Xin said again, "That secret place is known only to us three for now. When you go back, I hope you won't disclose it to others!"

By 'others,' Yud Xin naturally meant Ziyi and Sen Rou.

"Alright! That's no issue." Shi Feng replied.

The matter finally clarified, indeed this woman sought him not for some illicit affair! But for a site potentially from ancient times, possibly leading to Tianheng Continent.

Only if this fairy-like Miss Yud Xin truly meant to engage in something illicit with Shi Feng, who knows if Shi Feng would agree...

After that, Shi Feng spoke again to Yud Xin: "Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"Hmm!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, Yud Xin nodded.

Since things have been clarified, she no longer wished to converse further with this "common man."

She, Yud Xin, usually met with refined people; even common folk would pretend to be cultured in front of her. No one ever asked her so bluntly if she wanted to engage in some illicit affair like Shi Feng did!

Subsequently, Shi Feng turned around, once more strolling on the lake surface, slowly heading towards the shore.

Yud Xin still stood in the pavilion, gazing at the silhouette as it gradually faded away until completely disappearing from her view.

"Finally gone!" Yud Xin whispered softly.

Just as Yud Xin's voice fell, a black shadow appeared beside her, seeming to stand side by side with her, emitting a cold snort: "Hmph, finally left!"

The cold snort was the voice of a young man.

In the deep night, there was still a man hidden here. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Subsequently, the man spoke again: "That little bastard even thought you meant to engage in some illicit affair with him, truly a delusional toad!"

His voice was full of displeasure.

Yud Xin turned her head, looking at the shadow beside her, softly speaking: "Alright, why be angry with him! He, at that time, will be just a pawn in our hands, his life and death can be controlled by us at any time!

The Killing Array at that secret place entrance is extremely strong, rumored that the Undying Demon Body is a defying body, with immensely powerful defense and an indestructible flesh; by then, borrowing his Undying Demon Body, we might be able to break through!"

"Hmm!" Hearing Yud Xin's words, the shadow nodded, his tone seeming much more relaxed. Then he spoke again:

"When the time comes, we shall deal with him well, if he realizes at the moment of dying that he was merely a pawn we manipulated, I believe he'll die feeling very unpleasant, hm hm! Hm hm hm hm! I look forward to that moment."

"Hehe!" Hearing the shadow's words, Yud Xin let out a light laugh, then her gaze once again turned to the direction where the silhouette vanished, pondering who knows what at this moment.

Afterwards, the shadow standing beside Yud Xin once more merged into the night, leaving the white-robed beauty to continue standing alone in this pavilion by the lake in the black night.

As the night wind blew, Yud Xin's black hair and white dress swayed again with Qingfeng, ethereal as an immortal.

Then, Yud Xin murmured softly once more: "Shi Feng! Lin Yu! Tomorrow's ultimate battle of geniuses, who will be the victor?"
