Chu Feng didn't dare to be careless. He observed for a long time, confirming that there were only two powerful beings deep underground, far from the surface. He had ample time to act!
After some research, he made his plan.
"This Black City is indeed half-ruined, a wasteland. Its great fame comes from the concentration of dark forces here."
This place is not the true headquarters of the major underground organizations; it merely serves as an external liaison point for various dark groups, used for negotiations and conducting business.
It's impossible for a being stronger than a mighty one to be stationed here; it would be too much of a waste!
Besides, who would dare to trouble these dark organizations? They are the ones who kill and hunt, instilling fear and apprehension in all parties.
But Chu Feng didn't care. They were already trying to kill him and claim a high bounty for his head. What reason did he have to hold back?
He began to set up. Since the half-ruined city lacked spatial fields and similar structures, he didn't mind "building" some for these dark organizations.
Chu Feng quietly set up around the entire city. Fortunately, its scale wasn't particularly grand, and its area was limited after becoming a half-ruin.
However, he felt a bit pained, as the amount of divine magnet he spent was considerable. Luckily, he had destroyed Taiwu's lair and gained many benefits.
Otherwise, in the past, he truly wouldn't have been able to undertake such a grand scheme.
"Just because the Martial Lunatic's faction has a stronghold here, and an organization under their command has a large number of people, I don't mind going all out!"
Unbeknownst to anyone, Chu Feng had quietly begun his setup around the city, burying a large amount of divine magnet to construct a massive "transportation field."
"If it weren't for wanting to capture them alive and avoid harming innocents, I would kill you all right now!" Chu Feng's eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
Of course, he was still somewhat wary, mainly fearing that the two powerful beings underground might have some hidden cards to counter him.
Therefore, to be safe, he made careful arrangements. This time, he intended to "steal" the entire city!
"Master Chu, I'm moving the city!"
The city had indeed been bustling these past two days, taking on a large volume of business. Many major forces from the Yang Realm had come, asking them to find a specific person.
In reality, the key target of all these operations was Chu Feng.
"This Chu Feng from the Minor Underworld is quite interesting; he's practically a god of wealth, bringing us riches, haha!"
Amidst the ruins of the city, laughter echoed from a few still-standing, intact halls.
As long as they found Chu Feng and sent out the news, they could claim a sky-high bounty, and they could claim it repeatedly, as multiple major forces had contacted them.
"It is quite interesting. This Chu Feng is truly like immortal meat; everyone wants a bite... hmm, if we just hand him over like this, we'd be at a disadvantage." Someone spoke up.
The ruins were filled with broken walls and debris, yet the halls that still stood tall were indeed magnificent, ancient, and imbued with an awe-inspiring and oppressive aura.
This was a group of dark hunters, including several Heavenly Venerates, and they were formidable overall.
These dark forces frequently interacted. Today, they were gathered to discuss Chu Feng, as they had all received relevant "business."
"Our Western Heaven lineage is willing to buy out this business. If any of you capture Chu Feng, you can hand him over to us. The price will satisfy everyone."
This was an old woman shrouded in a black burial cloth, her entire form indistinct and sinister, making her difficult to perceive clearly and inspiring great awe.
The Western Heaven organization, ancient and powerful, was most renowned for possessing "Return from Hell," ranked tenth among the ten most powerful profound arts of all time.
If Chu Feng were present, he would surely be surprised, as he had encountered this organization at the Heaven-Connecting Waterfall. They sold Granny Meng's Soup and, more importantly, controlled the Time Furnace.
That furnace was too sinister; anyone who obtained it would suffer misfortune and a tragic end. Even the Western Heaven organization itself couldn't bear its effects and had to get rid of it.
In fact, Li Du had once acquired this furnace, and his sudden death was believed to be possibly related to it.
The chilling words Chu Feng had heard previously – "Those whom heaven cannot bury, buried amidst the floating dust of the four poles, felling yin and yang as fuel..." – also originated from the Time Furnace.
However, few in the world knew that the Western Heaven organization also undertook dark hunting assignments. When operating in the underworld, they did not publicly reveal their origins.
Only their peers could more or less guess their background.
"Hmm, though the Western Heaven organization is strong, it would be difficult for them to monopolize an ultimate artifact, wouldn't it? Heh heh!" Someone chuckled lightly, uttering these words.
Clearly, these dark organizations were exceptionally well-informed. They all knew why Taiwu had personally visited the Minor Underworld: he was after a supreme treasure!
Now, Chu Feng from the Minor Underworld had come for revenge, and it was hard to say whether he possessed that invincible treasure.
However, they also understood that the ultimate artifact might have fallen into the great abyss of the Minor Underworld, and no one could retrieve it.
But everyone also believed that Chu Feng was fortunate and possessed valuable items. To be able to kill a Heavenly Venerate at his age, he absolutely had his own secrets.
"What, does the Black Qilin organization think he has an ultimate artifact and wants to get involved?" someone from the Western Heaven organization asked.
"Hm, even if he can kill Heavenly Venerates and has become a Constant King, facing a mighty one means only one thing: death. For organizations like ours, which one can't easily deploy two or three mighty ones? Therefore, he's just a weakling, easy to crush. If he happens to have a supreme treasure, who would let that pass? Heh heh!"
The people from the Black Qilin organization laughed, considering Chu Feng a mere fish, utterly insignificant. After all, their organization was as strong as, if not stronger than, the Western Heaven organization, and their first-generation leader, the ancestral Black Qilin, was still alive!
Everyone had their own ideas: once Chu Feng was found, they would claim any treasure for themselves, then hand him over to the employers, ensuring a full spectrum of benefits.
"Chu Feng belongs to our faction; no one can take him!" At this moment, someone spoke up, a female Heavenly Venerate.
Many people's eyes narrowed slightly, and their expressions changed, as this was a Heavenly Venerate from the Martial Lunatic's faction, responsible for external liaison here.
Everyone knew that people like them, the Martial Lunatic, were one of the sources of darkness in the underworld!
If this faction was determined to get something, others would find it truly difficult to fight them to the death, even if Chu Feng did possess an ultimate supreme treasure.
Of course, not all dark forces feared the Martial Lunatic. Some simply scoffed, showing little concern.
"Our organization is very keen to cooperate with the Martial Emperor lineage," someone said indifferently. "Crushing that Chu Feng and avenging Dao Brother Taiwu is our inescapable duty!"
Many people curled their lips. "Inescapable duty" and "revenge" were just pretexts; it was simply that they were powerful enough to contend with the Martial Lunatic's faction!
The underground dark forces had more than one source. The Martial Lunatic was one, and the master of the organization leader who had just spoken was also a source!
Nantuo – this was a forbidden name, one rarely mentioned for many years. One could even say that this person hadn't appeared since the prehistoric era, when Li gradually faded into silence.
But everyone knew that this terrifying being must still be alive!
Nantuo should be a being on the same level as the Martial Lunatic!
"There's no need. We ourselves are enough to crush that bug!" the female Heavenly Venerate from the Martial Lunatic's faction declared. In terms of discipleship, she was of the same generation as Heavenly Venerate Taiwu.
The person from the Nantuo lineage smiled and said, "Heh heh, no rush. What if you can't find him? We'd be very happy to offer assistance; it's our duty as fellow dark organizations."
The female Heavenly Venerate from the Martial Lunatic's faction grew cold upon hearing this. Their relationship was not just competitive but even hostile; how could they possibly need their help?
It was known that Heavenly Venerate Taiwu had a great enemy during his lifetime, with whom he fought for most of his life, and that enemy came from this very Nantuo organization.
If their relationship were harmonious, the disciples and followers of the two families wouldn't be locked in deadly contention and confrontation.
"No need to argue; whoever finds him gets him!" another Heavenly Venerate from the dark domain spoke, belonging to another super assassin organization.
Clearly, this organization was also very powerful, named Taiheng, after its leader.
It was rumored that this organization was suspected of being connected to Taiyi Journal, the Yang Realm's foremost newspaper.
There was a rumor that the Taiheng organization was founded by the second son of Ancestor Taiyi.
"Stop arguing. Many clients are still in the city; they haven't left yet," the Heavenly Venerate from the Western Heaven organization said.
This time, many people had come to post bounties and discuss cooperation, and many had not yet left.
Among them were many factions familiar to Chu Feng, as well as sects he knew nothing about, all of whom had sent representatives.
The Phoenix King's cousin was merely one of them; even direct descendants of the Human King family had come here to post bounties.
"No matter what, we want to know Chu Feng's whereabouts. Well, if absolutely necessary, beheading him would also suffice." The Phoenix King's cousin was negotiating with a certain dark organization.
"Oom!"
Just then, the entire Black City trembled violently in an instant. Everyone was startled, looking up sharply. What was happening?
Then, everyone saw divine light soaring into the sky and profound magnetic energy filling the air, enveloping the entire cosmos. This phenomenon was astonishing!
The next moment, space twisted and became completely blurred. Everyone wanted to soar into the sky, but it was already too late; they were trapped within Black City, unable to escape.
Deep underground, the two powerful beings were startled awake. Who was attacking Black City? This energy was too intense, terrifyingly fierce.
Even in their secluded cultivation areas, all spiritual energy surged chaotically, their caves collapsed, spiritual herbs withered, and the earth convulsed violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The two powerful beings awakened and immediately shot upwards!
And then... there was no "then"!
The two powerful beings were bewildered. Where were the people? Where had they gone?
At this moment, let alone enemies, even Black City itself was gone, vanished without a trace. Broken walls, rubble, decayed rafters – everything was gone!
The two stood there dumbfounded, truly bewildered, their minds completely unsettled.
Where had Black City gone, renowned throughout history and ancient in its years?
Wasn't this a joke? The external window of the dark world had vanished without a trace, not even a single hair remaining!
The spot where it had stood was completely bare. Not only was the ruined city gone, but there wasn't even a blade of grass, not even a mouse hole. It was so smooth, completely emptied, everything gone.
This was even stranger than scraping the ground three feet deep; Black City had been stolen!
Although it was unbelievable, the two powerful beings snapped out of their daze and then felt immense shame. Where in the hell was this? The Black City, famous throughout the ages!
The result... Black City was gone, stolen!
Not to mention the personnel from various factions. Although it was an external dark window, not a true lair, there were still many Divine Kings and some Dark Heavenly Venerates stationed there!
This was an insane humiliation! A... demonic master thief had actually stolen a renowned dark city!
This was simply outrageous!
Was that master thief insane, or had the entire world gone mad?!
