971 Attack (1/2)

Chapter 971 - Attack

The Ninth Prince's team members, who were all waiting impatiently outside, all charged in after the forbidden power disappeared.

”Zhao Feng!”

Everyone saw that Zhao Feng was sitting on the ground, and their stressed hearts finally relaxed. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had won.

”We'll wait here,” Old Ying suggested, and no one disagreed. They could feel the terrifying disturbance from the battle between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death. If they got close to it, the lifeforce within their bodies would flow away.

It was hard to imagine the fight between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person. It was already a miracle to them that Zhao Feng was still alive.

They didn't know when this started, but they were placing all their hopes on Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng had an accident, that would be the end of the Crown Prince trial for them.

”Ninth Prince, there's still hope,” Old Ying comforted.

The Ninth Prince originally had a large amount of draconic providence within his pseudo Crown Prince seal, exceeding his expectations. However, a part of the draconic providence was used up in the fight against Sacred Lord Dark Soul. The Ninth Prince then risked his life to enter the area where Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting and expended more draconic providence in order to help Zhao Feng.

Over half of the draconic providence within the Ninth Prince's pseudo Crown Prince seal had been used up.

”En. As long as we still have Brother Zhao, we have hope.” The Ninth Prince nodded his head.

He didn't regret what he did. If Zhao Feng hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have been able to reach this stage. Zhao Feng was also the one that had obtained most of that draconic providence in the first place.

Three days soon passed.

”Let's go,” Zhao Feng finally spoke after sitting there for three days.

In reality, Zhao Feng's injuries had recovered long ago, but his weak soul took a lot of time to recover. Luckily, the power of the ancient lightning helped heal Zhao Feng's soul. Perhaps because he had a Lightning Soul Body, he could recover soul-based injuries by absorbing the power of lightning.

At the same time, Zhao Feng realized that this fight against the Emperor of Death helped him lay down a foundation for an Undying Sacred Lightning Body.

Because the Undying Sacred Lightning Body couldn't be cultivated very quickly, Zhao Feng originally put it aside. After so much time had passed, and with the help from the Intent of Death, Zhao Feng could finally start to cultivate it.

Everyone was stunned. Zhao Feng recovered already? After fighting such an intense battle against such a powerful opponent, Zhao Feng only used three days to recover?

Zhou Su'er was stunned as well, and she closely inspected Zhao Feng. She only relaxed after making sure that there were indeed no serious injuries on Zhao Feng.

”Zhao Feng, the Emperor of Death…?” Old Ying asked.

He was shocked when he heard the black-robed person's true identity and that he had a Samsara Immortal Body. An undying body, an undying soul at the level of a Sacred Lord, and the Eyes of Death – even normal Sacred Lords wouldn't be able to do much against the Emperor of Death, let alone a King.

However, the one that remained after the battle was Zhao Feng. Old Ying could only sigh; he could never see through this youth.

The others also immediately looked at Zhao Feng. Although it was obvious that Zhao Feng won, they wanted to hear it from Zhao Feng personally.

”He left,” Zhao Feng replied simply.

Left? Everyone paused for a moment. This answer didn't exactly give them a clear indication of who won.

”Zhao Feng, after we leave the Imperial Tombs, you can stay in the Imperial Palace,” Old Ying spoke after thinking for a moment.

While Zhao Feng may have won this time, the immortal Emperor of Death could revive through the Samsara of Death. Zhao Feng would only be safe by staying in the Imperial Palace.

”That's right. It doesn't matter if you won or not. Brother Zhao can always stay at my place.” The Ninth Prince agreed.

”We'll see when the time comes.” Zhao Feng didn't accept or reject Old Ying's and the Ninth Prince's offer.

He couldn't confirm what he would do after the Imperial Tombs. He might stay in the Imperial Palace to avoid Nine Darkness Palace and the Emperor of Death, he might return to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, or he might search for the Eye of Samsara.

Zhao Feng remembered what the Sage had said – he needed to find the Eye of Samsara to confirm Liu Qinxin's location. Maybe it was because the Eye of Samsara had some kind of ability in that aspect, but Zhao Feng didn't know.

However, Zhao Feng couldn't confirm whether the Eye of Samsara's owner was an enemy or not after this incident….

Outside the Seventh Prince's city:

”Should we confirm whether Zhao Feng is dead or alive?” Jiang Hao asked.

”You're crazy! Zhao Feng's definitely dead. Even I wouldn't dare to get close to the power that the black-robed person displayed,” a Quasi-Sacred Lord exclaimed.

After Sacred Lord Dark Soul returned, he was sent out again to approach the area where Zhao Feng and the black-robed person were fighting. He didn't even manage to see them before being scared away by the terrifying Intent of Death.

”But the black-robed person hasn't come back either.” Jiang Hao wasn't respectful to this Quasi-Sacred Lord.

What Jiang Hao said made everyone else go silent. Neither the Ninth Prince's team nor the black-robed person had returned. There was definitely something suspicious about this.
