Chapter 1876: Chapter 1861: Heading to the Northern Wilderness
"Demon Lord, I indeed found it familiar, but I can’t recall where I heard it."
"Or perhaps, when I heard it back then, it was just that the name of the continent was similar to what you mentioned, not necessarily the Divine Battle Continent you’re asking about!"
The old man looked distressed and said to Shi Feng.
Actually, even if the old man thought "Divine Battle Continent" sounded familiar earlier, he didn’t plan to tell this God of Slaughter. The older one lives, the wiser one gets; he didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Shi Feng coldly spoke again: "Think carefully, when and where did you hear of it?"
As Shi Feng spoke these words, the old man instantly felt a chilling coldness descend from the skies, enveloping him in an instant.
Making him feel as if he was plunged into an ice cellar, his aged body kneeling in the void trembled violently at this moment.
The old man quickly spoke, pleadingly to Shi Feng:
"Yes, yes! I obey! Please allow me time to think, Demon Lord! Please give me some time!"
At this moment, the old man truly regretted it, cursing himself for speaking too much and getting into this mess.
Moreover, he had a feeling that if he couldn’t recall the Divine Battle Continent, there would surely be dire consequences.
Perhaps this God of Slaughter would offer him as a sacrifice to that Evil Weapon of his.
What evil deed wouldn’t this God of Slaughter commit?
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Shi Feng said: "Alright! I’ll give you some time, think carefully."
"Thank you, Demon Lord, thank you! I will try my utmost to think! Rest assured, Demon Lord."
"Hmm!" Shi Feng lightly responded, nodding slowly at the old man.
Then Shi Feng turned his gaze again to the crowd from all directions and spoke once more: "Who among you has heard of the Divine Battle Continent? Those who provide clues will be greatly rewarded."
As Shi Feng spoke these words, Soul Power spread out from all directions once again, sensing every change in this piece of void.
Yet ultimately, Shi Feng did not discover anyone who seemed to have heard of this Divine Battle Continent.
After all, it was a mysterious and unknown continent.
"Divine Battle Continent! Divine Battle Continent! Divine Battle Continent!" The old man hovering above the kneeling crowd began muttering these four words continuously.
The more he recited them, the more familiar they felt, as if he had heard them somewhere before, but he just couldn’t recall.
"Divine Battle Continent, where did I hear it? Or saw it in some ancient text? Where exactly? Why can’t I remember? Why can’t I remember?"
Muttering these thoughts, the old man’s aged face furrowed into a tight frown, yet he just couldn’t remember, becoming somewhat restless.
"Divine Battle Continent! I must remember, or I’m really finished."
Silently speaking these words to himself, the old man again looked over at that dark silhouette.
Ever since Shi Feng’s previous white robe shattered, he donned the Dark Battle Armor formed from Mysterious Light Ancient Words, standing defiantly above the Supreme Beast like a Demon God.
The old man saw that the God of Slaughter was also coldly watching him at that moment, his face towards him becoming even icier, seemingly filled with killing intent.
"Ah! I can’t! Divine Battle Continent! Ah! Divine Battle Continent!" Suddenly, a distant scene flashed through the old man’s mind.
The old man’s previously tightly furrowed brow immediately relaxed, his eyes widened in response, and he quickly shouted towards Shi Feng, "My Lord! I remembered! I remembered the Divine Battle Continent!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing the old man’s words, Shi Feng’s expression slightly changed; no one had noticed that the body hidden within the Dark Battle Armor had trembled just now.
"Tell me quickly!" Shi Feng immediately demanded from the old man.
"Yes, my Lord!" The old man quickly responded; at that moment, he could sense that the chilling power enveloping him had dispersed.
The old man then spoke again, "Many years ago, I inadvertently saw the genealogical record of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land in their ancestral temple, and this record mentioned that the founding Ancestor of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land came from the Divine Battle Continent."
"Yes! That’s correct! It’s indeed the Divine Battle Continent!" As he spoke this line, the old man’s expression became earnest.
Fearing that Shi Feng might not believe him, still worried that the God of Slaughter might suddenly kill him, or sacrifice him to that Evil Weapon, the old man quickly added, saying:
"My Lord! I was a disciple of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land many years ago. When I first joined Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, I cleaned their ancestral temple.
During that time, seeing no one was in the temple, I secretly flipped through their genealogical record, and happened to see the first page about their Ancestor!"
"Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land? Heavenly Desolation Ancestor? Where is this Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land?" Shi Feng asked the old man further.
Even if he got just a glimmer of a clue about the Divine Battle Continent, Shi Feng wanted to go and explore it.
Although, given that Sacred Land’s founder came from the Divine Battle Continent, it was likely ages ago, Shi Feng still wanted to visit Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land.
To see if the Ancestor left any relics related to the Divine Battle Continent, or if there was any information about that continent.
Upon hearing the Nine Nether Demon Lord ask again, the old man quickly replied respectfully: "My Lord, Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land is in the Northern Wilderness."
"Northern Wilderness? Good! Then I shall visit the Northern Wilderness!" Shi Feng said.
Upon hearing the words "Northern Wilderness," he also remembered he had unfinished grievances there.
Shi Feng recalled Huo Yu telling him that Gu’e Mountain was located in the Northern Wilderness.
Back then, the Gue Mountain Saintess Gu Yan wanted to kill him, but Gu Yan was eventually killed by him.
Then Gu’e Mountain sent out supreme experts, joining forces with several factions to hunt him down in the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land.
Back then, he was weak and narrowly escaped being caught.
Had he been caught back then, he would have surely perished.
And now, it’s time for them to pay the price!
"Gu’e Mountain!" Shi Feng softly murmured these words, then turned and looked at Nine Nether Demon Marshal Xi Mu, and said:
"Xi Mu, I must head to the Northern Wilderness, I’ll entrust the matters here in the Sinister Abyss to you."
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Xi Mu clasped his fists and simply said three words: "Rest assured!"
"Hmm!" Shi Feng nodded at Xi Mu, then turned his gaze back to the old man, saying: "Would you like to accompany me to Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land?"
