Chapter 1112: and translation of chapter title

Young master, Cai Lin sis, quick look, we've reached the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs!

And just as those magic beasts around retreated, Qing Lin's clear, pleasant voice immediately rang out at the bottom of this lake.

Hearing that, Cai Lin didn't even bother with Lin Feng, quickly directing her gaze downward into the lake.

Immediately after, she discovered that at the far end below, a point of light had actually appeared.

Upon seeing that point of light, her spirit lifted instantly, she hurriedly increased speed and shot downward.

Seeing that, Lin Feng immediately waved at Qing Lin, then likewise sped up and dove toward the lake bottom.

As for Qing Lin, after seeing the two speed up and dive, she also quickly followed.

And after the three continued diving for a while, they finally arrived at the place where that light appeared.

"Is this the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs?"

Gazing at the ground gradually revealing itself below, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured.

At this moment, what appeared before him was a vast, boundless expanse of sand and stone.

Countless fist-sized rubble stones were scattered throughout the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, and among these stones, a strange faint glow emanated.

And it is precisely because of this that the place is illuminated quite brightly.

However, when Cai Lin approached this sand-and-stone surface below, her brows suddenly knit tight, and her gaze turned incredulously downward.

"Cai Lin sis, what's wrong?"

Sensing the sudden change in her companion's expression, Qing Lin's delicate body fluttered forward, asking with concern.

Meanwhile, seeing this, Lin Feng to the side seemed to think of something, gave a light smile, and continued to focus his gaze on the sand below.

He knew that Cai Lin was likely sensing, or had received, a message transmitted from the residual souls of the Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python beneath this sand.

At the same time, Cai Lin indeed was just as Lin Feng had anticipated.

In response to Qing Lin's concern, she lightly shook her head, then parted her lips slightly and said: "I'm fine; I just feel a summons down here, a summons from my bloodline. Such a feeling is normally something only my kin can emit."

While speaking, Cai Lin's expression also quickly turned astonished.

If she hasn't guessed wrong, this situation likely means that a Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python once perished underground here.

Therefore, now that she has come here, she is able to sense this summons.

"Bloodline summons?"

Hearing that, Qing Lin also froze in place for a moment.

In that case, doesn't that mean a Seven-Colored Swallowing Heaven Python once fell down there?

At that moment, Lin Feng also spoke: "Cai Lin, since your senior is summoning you, go down and have a look. As for out here, I think as long as those strong ones of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan don't form a grand formation, I can handle them."

"Will that work?"

Faced with that proposal, Cai Lin felt moved yet also somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately smiled and said: "It's fine; I am now a Three-star Dou Saint, and Qing Lin is a peak One-star Dou Saint. Without saying more, dealing with the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan whose strongest is only a Two-star Dou Saint is still no problem."

"That's good; let's do as you said."

After a brief consideration, Cai Lin promptly nodded, her gaze firm as she spoke.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the sand and stone below.

She faintly felt that perhaps down there she might gain something extraordinary.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned to Lin Feng and said: "Then I'll go down first to have a look; the rest will be up to you two."

As her words fell, Cai Lin's delicate body shifted, turning into a streak of colored light that shot at extreme speed toward the sand and stone below.

"Boom!"

Afterward, she vanished into the ground below amidst a violent tremor and roar.

However, although the commotion was not small, considering that this place lies an unknown number of myriad miles above the Nine Nether Yellow Springs,

these vibrations did not transmit up to the water surface.

"Hiss, the yin-cold power down here is intense; even I probably couldn't go very deep—this place is likely only accessible to cold-loving demon beasts like Cai Lin."

As the kicked-up sand and stone gradually settled, Lin Feng gazed at the yawning abyss before him and couldn't help clicking his tongue.

Hearing that, Qing Lin beside him also nodded in agreement.

Although she also possesses serpentine demon beast bloodline, it is ultimately not pure.

Faced with the depths even further below the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, even she dare not venture down lightly.

After Lin Feng had looked at the enormous chasm before him for a while, he turned his head to the only one left beside him, Qing Lin, and said: "Little miss, Cai Lin is now going down to seek fortune; then we'll search here for the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal."

"All right, young master."

Hearing that, Qing Lin immediately nodded obediently.

Immediately afterward, the two began searching here for the so-called Yellow Spring Blood Crystal.

Of course, Lin Feng also held no hope of finding Yellow Spring Blood Crystal on this ground.

After all, he knew that this place probably had no remaining Yellow Spring Blood Crystal.

Yet as he expected, after searching for over ten minutes, neither had found even a fragment of Yellow Spring Blood Crystal.

At the same time, the fruitless Qing Lin furrowed her brows slightly, unwillingly saying: "There's simply no Yellow Spring Blood Crystal here; could it be that the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan people have taken them all?"

Considering that possibility, she promptly turned to Lin Feng and said: "Young master, why don't we directly subdue the strong ones of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan and then ask them?"

"No rush; I actually have another discovery here."

Seeing Qing Lin's gradually solemn oval face, Lin Feng standing afar gave her a mysterious smile.

While speaking, he slowly lowered his head, directing his gaze toward the area in front of his feet.

Then, under Qing Lin's doubtful gaze, he reached out and his palm fiercely grabbed downward.

"Rattle-clatter!"

With that grab, Lin Feng's palm left an imprint in the sand and stone before him, and as the stones rolled, a sturdy iron chain as thick as a hundred zhang suddenly burst into view before the two.

Young master, this iron chain is so strange; it's hidden here, and my soul power can't sense it at all—what is the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan doing placing such an iron chain here?

Seeing the huge iron chain pulled out by the former, Qing Lin's expression suddenly changed drastically, her tone filled with shock.

After all, before her young master pulled out the iron chain, she couldn't sense even a bit of it.

Hehe, then let's uncover the secret of this iron chain—what exactly the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan is using it for.

Gazing at this extremely huge iron chain, Lin Feng's mouth curled slightly; with a grasp from afar, that iron chain was slowly pulled out.

And as the iron chain was pulled out, several places in the distant ground suddenly began to vibrate.

Not long after, three more equally huge iron chains were brought up from the mire by the first chain.

Looking ahead, Lin Feng and Qing Lin saw that these iron chains were all connected to the mountain at the edge of their sight, a mountain whose boundary could not be seen.

After pulling several times, Lin Feng discovered that these iron chains had been made extremely sturdy by the current clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan.

Even he, relying solely on brute strength, could not pull the iron chain's root out of the mountain.

However, as Lin Feng continued to exert force, the sand at the center of the four chains suddenly began to bulge.

And seeing that strange clump, Qing Lin quickly looked around and then shouted, "Young master, be careful—these four iron chains seem to have originally been locking something in the middle!"

Hehe, it's fine; even if there is something, the fact that it hasn't broken this iron chain for so long shows it fundamentally cannot escape on its own.

While speaking, Lin Feng took Qing Lin's tender, smooth little hand and walked toward the protruding clump ahead.

Whoosh!

When the two arrived not far from that clump, Lin Feng then lightly waved his hand, and a burst of vigor suddenly rose from nowhere, blowing toward the sand clump.

In the next moment, as a large amount of sand was blown away by the wind, the thing beneath the sand clump was revealed.

However, strictly speaking, it wasn't a thing—it was actually a person!

More precisely, it was a person whose whole body was withered like a skeleton!

This person's aura is so strong; he must at least be a two-star Dou Saint powerhouse—how could he be locked up here?!

Seeing the skeleton-like figure beneath the sand, Qing Lin's beautiful eyes flashed with shock, and her voice carried a hint of alarm as she said.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng calmly gazed at the withered, almost inhuman man before him.

As for his identity, having read the original work, he naturally knew it all too well.

His true identity was the former clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, Yao Ming!

And the reason he is trapped here is because Yao Ming's brother refused to remain subordinate.

Thus, he allied with the clan's Grand Elder to seize power.

Finally, the two plotted to capture Yao Ming, then used these chains to lock him at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.

As Lin Feng and Qing Lin gazed at the withered figure, he too was startled awake.

"Save me. As long as you save me, I can make the entire Nine Nether Earth Python Clan serve you as master!"

Immediately, his deep-set eyes suddenly opened, his gaze somewhat mad as he looked at the unfamiliar man and woman before him; his hoarse roar echoed in the depths of the Yellow Springs, like a ghostly howl, chilling the heart.

As for Lin Feng, regarding his words, he seemed to have never heard them, merely using a calm gaze to look at the withered figure constantly struggling under the chains' restraint.

He could feel that within these four huge chains, a constant stream of extreme cold energy was transmitted, consuming the Dou Qi within Yao Ming's body.

This way, he could remain in a state of extreme weakness without losing his life.

He could only survive in this consumption, lingering on, until eventually dying of old age.

"That Yao Xiaotian bastard is truly ruthless—doing this is practically more vicious than killing his own brother!"

After a long while, Lin Feng finally let out a quiet sigh in his heart.

Next, thinking of Qing Lin still beside him and too lazy to explain, he posed a question he already knew the answer to: "Who are you? Why are you trapped here?"

Upon hearing that, Qing Lin also lightly nodded, her curious gaze continually scanning the emaciated man before her.

Hoo-hoo.

And that skeleton-like Yao Ming, apparently exhausted by that earlier struggle, now began to breathe rapidly.

After a moment, once Yao Ming had gathered some strength, he then laboriously explained: "I am the clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, Yao Ming."

While speaking, Yao Ming's voice was extremely hoarse, like sand scraping glass, very grating.

But immediately after, he urgently said: "Little brother, as long as you rescue me from here, I'll agree to anything you want!"

Saying this, he looked at the man and woman before him with a gaze almost pleading.

After all, he had been trapped in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs for hundreds of years, and during that time his life was worse than death.

He now truly wants to get out.

"The clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan?"

Hearing his words, she furrowed her brow slightly, then said thoughtfully: "During this time I have also looked up much information on the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. As far as I know, the current clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan should be a Dou Saint powerhouse named Yao Xiaotian, right?"

Upon hearing the three words 'Yao Xiaotian,' Yao Ming's expression instantly twisted terribly, his eyes turning blood-red, and with a voice full of endless resentment he roared: "That scoundrel—it was he who, back then, used poisonous schemes to design my imprisonment and sealed me at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs!"

"Ahhh, this beast—making me suffer hundreds of years of invasive yin-cold agony; if I am fortunate enough to see the light of day again, I, Yao Ming, will absolutely not let him off!"

And hearing Qing Lin hear his mad roar, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she silently sighed at Yao Xiaotian's cruelty, who had actually sealed this fellow here for hundreds of years.

After all, the yin-cold power of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs invading the body is like a sharp blade.

Such piercing pain is unbearable for an ordinary person even for a moment,

yet this fellow before us has actually endured it for hundreds of years.

Hearing this, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

However, after hearing his words, Lin Feng turned to Qing Lin with a light smile and said: "Since he is a serpentine demon beast and it's now confirmed he cannot move, I'll leave this to you, Qing Lin."

And upon hearing those words, Yao Ming's heart quickly gave rise to a bad premonition, and with a puzzled expression he asked: "What do you mean by that?"

"All right, young master."

Upon hearing that, Qing Lin sweetly smiled, then turned her gaze to the man before her called Yao Ming, the former clan chief of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan.

In the next moment, within her eyes, which were as clear and translucent as green jade, three tiny green dots suddenly appeared.

And if one looks closely, one can actually discover that these three green specks are just like three tiny flower buds, slowly wandering within Qing Lin's pupils.

This this is the Azure Snake Triple-flower Pupil!

Seeing the change in the young woman's pupils before him, the Demon Daze was stunned for a short moment, then his weak voice was quickly filled with shock.

Because this thing, it is simply the bane of their serpentine magical beasts!

However, the Azure Snake Triple-flower Pupil, due to its extremely harsh appearance conditions, has not appeared on the continent for thousands of years.

Even he had only seen news of this special physique in ancient texts.

But who would have thought that today he would actually encounter it at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Spring!

While the former was astonished, Qing Lin, who was fully exerting the Azure Snake Triple-flower Pupil, naturally did not notice.

At this moment, the three green specks in her pupils suddenly burst forth with a great gloomy light.

Then, in an instant, the three specks within her eyes actually blossomed from the flower buds into three extremely tiny green flowers…

Meanwhile, as this eerie green flower emerged, a strong gloomy light violently shot out from within it, illuminating the Demon Daze before her.

Being struck by this green light, the Demon Daze instinctively wanted to resist.

However, before he could act, a powerful, almost unreasonable soul pressure exploded in his mind.

Immediately, he felt only a blankness in his head, and then began to experience the world spinning.

Thus, the Demon Daze completely lost his ability to resist under Qing Lin's heavenly realm's great completion soul suppression.

After all, the Demon Daze's soul strength is not particularly strong; at most, it is only equivalent to the level of a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist.

Although he possesses at least the strength of a Two-star Dou Saint, under the consumption of these four iron chains, even moving is difficult.

So where would there be any Battle Qi to resist Qing Lin?

Meanwhile, that eerie gloomy light emitted from Qing Lin's pupils slowly moved across the Demon Daze's body.

Finally, it came to rest in the middle of the former's forehead.

And when the gloomy light stopped moving, it began to rapidly shrink.

However, as the gloomy light's range became ever smaller, the brightness contained within it became ever greater.

In the end, when the gloomy light shrank to the area of a thumb, it ceased shrinking further.

Then, the gloomy light suddenly brightened, and a green flower pattern was imprinted in the center of the Demon Daze's brow.

Meanwhile, after that flower pattern appeared, the gloomy light in Qing Lin's eyes began to gradually fade.

In the blink of an eye, the three tiny flowers in Qing Lin's pupils likewise began to dissipate.

Just a moment later, her eyes returned to their former azure-green.

As for the Demon Daze, at the instant the light in Qing Lin's eyes vanished, his struggling expression immediately became calm.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately turned his head toward Qing Lin and said, 'Little girl, did you succeed?'

'Eh, young master, I have now successfully controlled him. However, a Dou Saint-level magical beast differs from before; even though I control him, his intelligence remains unaffected.'

Upon hearing the former's inquiry, Qing Lin promptly spoke with a little pride, seeking credit.

After all, she had added a Dou Saint-level combat force for her young master.

Regardless, the young master at least ought to reward her three times. No, ten times of intimacy.

After all, since the Bodhi Ancient Tree expedition ended, she has only been intimate with her young master once in all this time.

Moreover, on that occasion, there were also five other sisters vying for position.

Therefore, she still wants to monopolize her young master for a period of time, that kind of being alone together.

And Lin Feng, seeing her little expression of seeking credit, also laughed and stroked her smooth hair.

Then he said, 'Alright, little girl, let's talk about the rest after we deal with the Nine Nether Earth Dark Python Clan. For now, let's first help the Demon Daze break his seal.'

As he spoke, Lin Feng casually strode forward along one of the iron chains.

'Hey, young master, wait for me. Also, if you don't agree to be intimate with me ten times later, I'll, I'll cry for you to see!'

Seeing the former leave this place, Qing Lin hurriedly chased after him.

At the same time, she did not forget the Demon Daze behind her, and loudly shouted, 'You wait here for a while; we will think of a way to get you out!'

Upon hearing that, the Demon Daze quickly shouted, 'Master, what traps me is not these iron chains, but the Yellow Spring Yin Stone at the end of the chains; it continuously emanates yin-cold energy, draining my Battle Qi, leaving me perpetually extremely weak.'

'And at the junction where the iron chains meet the mountain body, there is an exquisite mechanism; the Yellow Spring Yin Stone is hidden there. As long as you can smash it, although these iron chains are also made of special material, once I regain some Battle Qi, I can deal with them!'

Qing Lin, who was following Lin Feng forward, upon hearing that, waved her hand and replied, 'Understood.'

'Sigh, I haven't even escaped yet, and I've become someone's pet; my life, why is it so hard?'

Watching the two gradually recede, the Demon Daze let out a heavy sigh, speaking to himself in a bitter tone.

Because Lin Feng and the other moved extremely fast, in less than a minute they appeared at the end of an iron chain.

Upon arriving, they indeed saw that this iron chain was deeply driven into a huge mountain.

Meanwhile, the yin-cold energy emanating from the mountain at the end of the iron chain made even Lin Feng, despite his current formidable strength, involuntarily shiver.

'Ha!'

Immediately, Lin Feng retreated half a step with his right leg, then gathered power and fiercely punched the mountain before him.

'Boom—'

Edition accompanies Lin Feng's punch landing, instantly, one after another huge water wave spreads out booming from where his fist landed.

'Splash—'

Then one saw the mountain body violently shake, as large amounts of rubble and earth poured down from above with a splashing sound.

And Lin Feng, seeing this, immediately waved his hand, releasing a gust of wind that blew those debris far away.

After those rubble and earth stopped falling, a huge stone of tens of zhang in size, black-colored, appeared within Lin Feng and Qing Lin's sight.

Upon seeing this pitch-black huge stone, Qing Lin slightly opened her mouth in astonishment and said, 'Is this thing the Yellow Spring Yin Stone?'

'That's right, master; as long as you smash the Yellow Spring Yin Stone after the four iron chains, I can get out.'

Yao Ming in the distance, using the excellent eyesight of a Fighting Saint, saw this scene and immediately couldn't help shouting loudly.

Lin Feng gazed at the black stone that appeared before him, still feeling the astonishing yin-cold energy emanating from it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The things in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs are indeed extraordinary; if I didn't have my Strange Fire, encountering this would probably require considerable effort. But since there's a mechanism, it's easy."

No sooner had his words ended than it, aware that its Battle Qi could not dispel the Yellow Spring Yin Stone before it, also refrained from futile effort.

He pressed his two fingers together, and a thread of Strange Fire compressed to the extreme extended from between them, like a fine needle.

Then Lin Feng exerted force with his arm, driving this flame needle heavily into the black stone at the end of the iron chain, and then stirred it frantically.

After several minutes passed like this, Lin Feng finally, under Yao Ming's expectant gaze, felt the needle in his hand touch an extraordinarily hard round object.

At that moment he forcefully thrust his fingers, driving the fire needle hard into that hard object.

Crack!

And at the instant the fire needle pierced that thing, the four people present suddenly felt a strange ripple emanating from the mountain.

The next moment, this iron chain, right before the eyes of Lin Feng and the four others, snapped apart outright.

"Success?!"

Feeling his Yin-Cold energy continuously draining, it instantly decreased by a quarter; Yao Ming jerked his head up, his gaze toward Lin Feng instantly filling with ecstatic joy.
