Dark Devour Cult Master

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at the crowd around him and said calmly, "I have a wife named Yuwen Rou, but she is dead. I feel that she should be in the Spirit Realm, so I hope that everyone can help me find her. Of course, I understand that it is very difficult to find someone if you only know about their past life, but I have no other way. I can only tell you that my wife has been in the Spirit Realm for less than a thousand years. As long as you find my wife, you will be my benefactor!"

The representatives of the various factions below all had complicated expressions.

In their eyes, Zhang Xingfeng was a master, an unfathomable master, a peerless master who possessed a large number of divine artifacts! To become the benefactor of such a master would be truly wonderful!

They also understood that knowing only the previous life was almost impossible to find, let alone less than a thousand years, which meant that the Spirit Root of the ghost had not yet survived the Divine Tribulation and broken the seal. How could they find it?

Find the Three Great Spiritual Lords? Make them do hard labor to search for them?

Of course that's impossible!

A representative suddenly stood up and asked Zhang Xingfeng, "Senior Carefree King, almost every year hundreds of millions of new people are born in the entire Spirit Realm. In a thousand years, that's hundreds of billions of people. Finding someone among hundreds of billions is indeed extremely difficult. However, I would like to ask you, Senior, is this Yuwen Rou from the corresponding Mortal World of the Spirit Realm, or from another Mortal World? Most of the ghost spirits in the Spirit Realm come from their own Mortal World. Only a very small number come from the corresponding Mortal World outside!"

Everyone was shocked by these words!

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face!

"Ah, how could I forget that? Rou came from the Cultivation World Mortal World; she's from the outside world. Doesn't that narrow down the possibilities considerably? Zhang Xingfeng, you're so forgetful!" Zhang Xingfeng cursed himself inwardly for forgetting this.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately said excitedly to the representative of the faction, "Thank you so much! My wife is from the Mortal World that corresponds to the outside world. This is a low-level divine artifact; consider it my token of gratitude!" A flash of light appeared in Zhang Xingfeng's hand, and a low-level divine artifact flew towards the representative.

Everyone was immediately taken aback. Just a simple act of help had yielded a low-level divine artifact! This clearly showed just how much Zhang Xingfeng cared for Yuwen Rou! If they could truly find this peerless master's wife and become his benefactor... these representatives were already imagining a bright future...

Ying Qiang stood up and smiled, saying, "Haha... Senior Carefree King, this should make the search easier. Only extremely powerful ghost spirits from the outside world can Void Breaker barrier and be absorbed by my Spirit Realm, so these ghost spirits are all very powerful. They are either in my Ying Family or in that Feng Family. Over the past thousand years, there have been hundreds of thousands of these ghost spirits from the outside world, but finding them will be much easier."

The sudden reduction from hundreds of billions to hundreds of thousands was bound to excite Zhang Xingfeng.

However, Zhang Xingfeng was too excited too soon. You should know that most of those who can Void Breaker barrier and enter the Spirit Realm from the outside are relatively powerful ghost spirits. These ghost spirits are almost all divided between the Ying Family and the Feng Family. But finding one person out of hundreds of thousands of people is not so easy!

However, Zhang Xingfeng was still excited, because finding one person from a pool of hundreds of billions was like finding a needle in a haystack, but now, finding one person from hundreds of thousands was something Zhang Xingfeng could still manage to accomplish.

"Hmph, there's really no other way, I can only turn to my seemingly omnipotent master!" Zhang Xingfeng thought of his master, Old Man Huo, and immediately felt relieved.

As the crowd dispersed, the representatives of the various factions left one by one, leaving only Zhang Xingfeng, Lan Hai Tian, Ying Qiang, and Feng Shu.

"Young Master Ying, Young Master Feng, I'm really counting on you two to take care of my wife this time!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile to Ying Qiang and Feng Shu, his mood now much better.

Ying Qiang and Feng Shu immediately stood up and hurriedly assured Zhang Xingfeng that they would do their best to help.

"Senior Carefree King, I will take my leave now. When I get back, I will definitely search carefully and make a list of possible people. After all, many of the spirits of the Netherworld are male, which will narrow down the search area. Then, I will ask my master, the Nine Nether Spirit Venerable, to take action. We will definitely find them!" Ying Qiang said, glancing triumphantly at Feng Shu.

Feng Shu was very annoyed to see his rival so arrogant, but his Feng Family did not have a figure like the Nine Nether Spirit Venerable, so finding one would be difficult.

However, Feng Shu still retorted sarcastically to Ying Qiang: "Hmph, invite the Nine Nether Spirit Venerable? That sounds nice, but the Spirit Lord is the most respected person in my Ghost Spirit Faction. Do you think you can just tell him to investigate and he'll do it!"

"Uh..." Ying Qiang was speechless. Yes, he really wasn't confident that he could get his master to search.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Young masters, there's no need to be so serious. The Ying Family and the Feng Family are the two pillars of the Ghost Spirit Faction. As for finding my wife, you only need to do your best. Even if you don't succeed, I will find other ways!"

Zhang Xingfeng's other method, of course, was relying on that Old Man Huo!

Although it might seem like he's relying on his elders, who else can he rely on if not his own master?

Zhang Xingfeng was in a great mood and said to Lan Hai Tian, "Mr. Lan, these are ten low-level divine artifacts. You will be in charge of producing these low-level divine artifacts for the next two months. After the other party pays the spirit stones, you don't need to ask me to give him the artifacts. You can just give them to him directly."

Upon hearing this, Lan Hai Tian nodded. He understood that Zhang Xingfeng didn't care about the business of selling low-level divine artifacts for 10,000 yuan each, so he didn't want anyone to disturb him and simply placed the ten artifacts beside Lan Hai Tian. Actually, if the price on the website were higher, say 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, there would definitely be buyers, but Zhang Xingfeng's intention wasn't in that regard.

"Alright, I've left the matter to you. I'm going back!" Zhang Xingfeng drifted away. Lan Hai Tian, however, was observing the ten low-level divine artifacts, his heart filled with excitement. These were ten low-level divine artifacts; he had never really looked at them before.

In the void, Sheng Hao slowly emerged. If Zhang Xingfeng were here, he would be shocked, because Sheng Hao, like him, had completely merged into the space. However, Zhang Xingfeng clearly didn't understand. Sheng Hao was due to innate talent, not comprehension of the Principle of space. This was fundamentally different from Zhang Xingfeng's.

Sheng Hao is the leader of the Natural Spirit Faction of this generation, and a peerless master whose skill is second only to the Spirit Venerable.

Most importantly... he, Sheng Hao, is a primordial spirit body that the Natural Spirit Faction has waited countless years to produce, and Sheng Hao is the strongest of all primordial spirit bodies— the Innate Chaos Spirit!

Ying Rou was Innate Yin Spirit, and although she was one of the more powerful primordial spirits, she was no match for this Innate Chaos Spirit. The Innate Chaos Spirit could naturally merge with chaos and sense everything in the entire space.

In fact, Zhang Xingfeng's Innate Fire Spirit is the weakest of the three. However, Zhang Xingfeng possesses Origin of Fire, which is even rarer than an innate spiritual body!

"Hmm, that Carefree King actually placed ten low-level divine artifacts on Lan Hai Tian. Hmph, he seems quite at ease! However, according to my senses, this Carefree King is definitely not stronger than me!" Sheng Hao was very confident because he was Innate Chaos Spirit. After merging into the space, he could completely sense the power of anyone in this realm.

"Sigh, Master and Grandpa are really something, they actually lost the Chaos Origin Stone. Otherwise, I would be much stronger than I am now. It seems that getting the Chaos Origin Stone back is something I must do in the near future!" Sheng Hao muttered to himself, and then his figure flashed and disappeared.

"Oh, the Carefree King actually placed ten low-level divine artifacts next to Lan Hai Tian. What a pleasant surprise! As long as we seize these ten low-level divine artifacts, our sect's power can expand considerably." The Dark Devour Cult Master laughed and said to Dark Thorn, one of the four guardians below.

Anci immediately replied, "Yes, Master, all ten low-level divine artifacts are currently with Lan Hai Tian. Lan Hai Tian is only Low-grade Divine Human. I am confident that I can get my hands on these artifacts. However, I am worried about that so-called Carefree King. He is truly unfathomable!"

Anci suddenly changed his attitude and said, "However, I think that as long as the sect leader makes a move, wouldn't the Carefree King be easy to capture and kill?"

"Hahahaha... Of course!" The overwhelming aura emanating from the Dark Devour Cult Master made even Dark Assassin feel like he was having trouble breathing.

Anci was secretly shocked. "This is too strong. Just the aura alone makes me, a Mid-grade Divine Human, feel uncomfortable. The sect leader's strength is really too strong. I really don't know who would be stronger if the sect leader and the spirit lord were to compete?"

While Dark Assassin was preoccupied with other thoughts, the Dark Devour Cult Master said in a low voice, "Heh heh, a mere Carefree King, of course, is easy for me to capture. But is such a trivial matter worth my time?"

Upon hearing this, Anci immediately said anxiously, "Master, this Carefree King is no ordinary person. He possesses the Immortal Grass, a divine artifact, and even greater power! He is a complete mystery! I really have no confidence in him."

The Dark Devour Cult Master sneered, "Dark Assassin, what are you worried about? I know that Carefree King very well. He's just a Mid-grade Divine Human, and his power is definitely not as high as mine. You, Dark Assassin, can handle him with your attacks. Here's what we'll do: Dark Blade Protector is also in Snowy Night City now. You and Dark Blade Protector can attack together. Hmph, with Carefree King only at the Mid-grade Divine Human level, the two of you together will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Upon hearing this, Dark Thorn was overjoyed. "Ah, even Protector Dark Blade has made a move! Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely work with Protector Dark Blade to seize the ten low-level divine artifacts and deliver them to you."

The Dark Devour Cult Master nodded slightly and snorted coldly, "Well, you and Dark Blade are enough to deal with him. But you can't be careless. This Carefree King actually has a mysterious Secret Method that makes it impossible for others to observe his power. He's really powerful. But this Secret Method is useless against me!"

Anci immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Master, I will be diligent and will not be careless!"

"Fine, go!" The Dark Devour Cult Master snorted coldly, and then his figure disappeared.

At the same instant, the Dark Devour Cult Master appeared in a secret chamber of the Dark Devour Cult.

The secret chamber was very ancient, with various divine artifacts hanging on the walls. What was most astonishing was that among these dozens of divine artifacts, there was not a single low-level artifact. Most of them were mid-level artifacts, and the rest were top-level artifacts!

How could the Dark Devour Cult Master, who only wanted to seize ten low-level divine artifacts, possess so many divine artifacts? Moreover, they were mid-level and top-level divine artifacts!

"Hmph, even if these divine artifacts are in my possession, I dare not use them recklessly. If such divine artifacts were to appear, I estimate that the Five Great Families would definitely launch a full-scale attack against me!" Suddenly, the Dark Devour Cult Master let out a long sigh.

The Dark Devour Cult Master was quite helpless. "The most painful thing is that we clearly possess so many wonderful treasures, but we dare not use them! Isn't this like looking at grapes but refusing to let you eat them?"

Suddenly, the Dark Devour Cult Master snorted indifferently, "Forget it, these artifacts are of little use to me anyway. I'll just bestow them upon Dark Thorn and Dark Blade, so they can have a better chance of winning!" Although the Dark Devour Cult Master had confidence in the two of them, for some reason, he had a bad feeling about them.

Who exactly is the Dark Devour Cult Master? He seems to know a great deal about Zhang Xingfeng's abilities, and appears to be extremely powerful. Is he a Spirit Venerable? Or perhaps even more powerful than a Spirit Venerable? Nobody knows!

How could the Dark Devour Cult Master possess so many divine artifacts, especially mid-level and top-level ones? These dozens of pieces represent the entire accumulation of the Jiao Family. Even the Jiao Family, one of the Five Great Families, only has a handful of good divine artifacts. How could the Dark Devour Cult Master have acquired so many?

Everything is a mystery!

Late at night, inside the Lan Mansion.

"Whoosh!" A small team of eight members from the Dark Devour Cult marched towards the Lan Mansion. This team consisted entirely of experts from the Dark Devour Cult, led by two of the Four Protectors—Dark Thorn and Dark Blade! The six behind them were also six of the Eighteen Death Guards, all of whom had reached the Low-grade Divine Human Realm.

Dark Assassin and Dark Blade were brimming with confidence, their reverence for their leader growing even stronger, for they now possessed two top-tier divine artifacts! The other six also had mid-tier divine artifacts! With such formidable strength, they were confident they could seize them head-on, let alone launch a sneak attack!

Inside a secret room in the Lan Mansion, specially prepared for Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips, "Hmm, I placed the divine artifact next to Lan Hai Tian, and someone actually came on the very first day!"
