"Ye Chang, the ceremony has been terminated, right?" Wang Feng asked.
Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, then she looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes:
"Does Master not need this celebration to make his prestige resonate throughout the world?"
At this point, she already regarded everything she did as serving Wang Feng, even considering the Black Vatican's plan as a tool to pave the way for Wang Feng.
Wang Feng shook his head: "No need. I will make the whole world remember me through my own means, not by utilizing Undead!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chang lowered her head, her tone tinged with self-reproach:
"Master, I'm very sorry, I made decisions on my own. But this celebration can no longer be stopped. Even if the Nine Nether Queen's Dew does not descend, the Calamity Abyss will still descend upon the Ancient Capital. Everything is already unstoppable."
Wang Feng frowned tightly and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Ye Chang explained: "Originally, we were guiding the Calamity Abyss to leap towards the Ancient Capital through the Dimensional Magic Mirror, but then we discovered that the Ancient King had awakened. And devouring the Ancient Capital was his intention. We… can no longer control the situation."
After listening, Wang Feng was silent for a moment before saying:
"I understand. Ye Chang, your actions this time have been exposed. Arrange a substitute to die in your place. As for the others, abandon them to save the main piece."
He did not intend to recruit Wu Ku or the Nine Disciples.
Ye Chang was spared for Ye Xin Xia's sake, as for the others…
Keeping them would only be a ticking time bomb!
Ye Chang's body trembled slightly, and her head was bowed even lower:
"Yes, my Master."
…
After leaving the basement, Wang Feng hurried back to the hotel.
However, as soon as he stepped into the presidential suite, the scene before him suddenly changed—the luxurious room disappeared, replaced by a desolate wasteland.
A charming and enchanting voice sounded in his ear:
"You've finally arrived~ This concubine has been waiting for you for a long time~"
Wang Feng's expression tightened, his gaze quickly swept around, and he said coldly: "Come out!"
"A mere fifth-level Mind power, yet it can resist this concubine's Mind enchantment? As expected of the King's Chosen~" The voice sounded again, with a hint of admiration and curiosity.
The next moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared before Wang Feng.
She was completely different from ordinary Undead; there was no hint of a corpse smell on her, but rather a faint, fragrant aroma.
Her figure was graceful, like a slender young woman, her beautiful eyes as bright as a clear moon, and she was looking at Wang Feng with great interest.
Wang Feng stared at her for a moment, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth:
"Are you the Nine Nether Queen, one of the Eight Directional Undead Monarchs under the Ancient King?"
Hearing Wang Feng reveal her identity, the Nine Nether Queen was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "How did you know this concubine's identity?"
After all, records of the Eight Directional Undead Monarchs only existed in legends, with only scattered descriptions of them.
Wang Feng did not answer her question, but instead retorted: "Why have you appeared before me?"
The Nine Nether Queen chuckled, her tone playful:
"You are currently in this concubine's Mind domain, do you really intend to speak to this concubine with such an attitude?"
Wang Feng did not speak, silently casting Mind magic, combined with Mind Disaster, an invisible force instantly enveloped the Nine Nether Queen.
Under the influence of this force, the Nine Nether Queen's emotions actually fluctuated, and even her Mind domain rippled.
"Interesting, so you're also an Disaster Victim, no wonder you can resist this concubine's Mind enchantment."
The Nine Nether Queen laughed instead of getting angry, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
She was becoming more and more satisfied with this "King's Chosen."
The Nine Nether Queen crossed her arms, her graceful figure appearing even more alluring.
She spoke with a hint of temptation in her voice:
"Although I don't know if you've noticed the Black Vatican's actions, this concubine can tell you that they have stirred the Calamity Abyss, intending to rely on it to engulf the Ancient Capital. And this concubine can tell you how to stop the Calamity Abyss from descending upon the Ancient Capital~"
"Moreover, you can also obtain a great opportunity. Do you want to know~"
"Tell me." Wang Feng said.
The Nine Nether Queen's red lips parted slightly, her voice like a clear spring in a secluded valley: "Pass the trials left by the King, walk to the bloody throne, and pay homage to the great King~"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng shook his head:
"You want me to pay homage to the Ancient King? But you should know that the Ancient King had already gone berserk from the beginning. The current him is merely a wisp of remnant soul mixed with many evil thoughts!"
"You just think I'm suitable to be a vessel, a vessel to carry his evil thoughts, so he can devour and possess me! "
"Why be so circuitous? Why not just take me directly to the Blood Throne of the Calamity Abyss? That would save time!"
The Nine Nether Queen's smile instantly froze on her face, and the ambient air temperature plummeted.
"What else do you know?"
Wang Feng scoffed with a disdainful smile:
"I know far more than you do. Even if a million people in the Ancient Capital are devoured, the Ancient King will not be able to awaken! Devouring more lives and souls will not help him repair his soul; it will only make him more chaotic!"
"Oh, that's not right either. The true Ancient King died long ago. Now he's just a pitiful collection of evil thoughts imprisoned in an armored robe!"
Since the Nine Nether Queen had already set her sights on him, Wang Feng no longer intended to hide anything and simply laid everything bare.
The Nine Nether Queen's face grew increasingly gloomy, but soon, she regained that charming smile and said faintly:
"Even if that is the truth, this concubine will not be moved by your few words."
"To be honest with you, this concubine doesn't care if the one who truly revives is that eternal emperor. This concubine only cares who can become the Lord of the Calamity Abyss, the King of the Empire! No matter who it is, this concubine will serve by their side."
"Devouring the Ancient Capital was the first option the Black Vatican gave this concubine, and you are the second possibility I've seen. Of course, it doesn't rule out a third or fourth."
The Nine Nether Queen's words did not deceive Wang Feng.
She indeed only hoped that a King who could dominate the entire situation would emerge.
In the original work, whether it was Chop Kong, who saved the entire Ancient Capital, or Chop Kong's successor, Mo Fan, the Nine Nether Queen had no second thoughts and was willing to assist them.
As for directly taking Wang Feng into the Calamity Abyss… she couldn't do it.
The Calamity Abyss was the Ancient King's tomb; even the Eight Directional Undead Monarchs did not have the qualification to enter at will.
"It seems we can't reach an agreement." Wang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a Totem Bead quietly appeared in his hand.
He admitted that his current self was definitely no match for the Nine Nether Queen. To escape from her, he could only rely on the power of the Black Snake.
However, the Nine Nether Queen had no intention of attacking Wang Feng. She showed a charming smile and winked at Wang Feng:
"This concubine believes you will make a choice. Furthermore, if you truly become the new King of the Calamity Abyss, you can do whatever you want with this concubine~"
The Nine Nether Queen's voice still echoed in his ears, but Wang Feng's vision had already returned to the luxurious presidential suite.
"How did I get targeted by a female ghost?"
