Chapter 312 - 311: Dark Demon Wind

Shu Feng and his entourage were all powerful experts, and they leaped out from the two luxury cars.

"My lord, are you all right?"

As soon as Sheng Xin leaped from the luxury car, he flew to Shu Feng’s side, his face a mixture of worry and sycophancy.

The five Zhu Clan Grandmasters behind Sheng Xin watched this with a flash of contempt in their eyes. Sheng Xin was a Spirit Venerable Realm expert, yet he was shamelessly wagging his tail and begging for favor from Shu Feng, which filled them with disdain.

"I’m fine! This black wind... do any of you know its origin?"

Shu Feng said, his eyes turning grave as he watched the black wind blowing in from the distance.

Sheng Xin looked embarrassed. "This subordinate is ignorant!"

Sheng Xin had spent his entire life busy with cultivating, killing, and womanizing, enjoying wealth and luxury within the Zhu Clan. He hadn’t studied strange phenomena like this at all.

The five Zhu Clan Grandmasters also remained silent, as they too were ignorant of the black wind’s origin.

"This is the Dark Demon Wind from the Void Demon Realm! After the Dark Demon Wind passes, a dark rain will fall! The dark rain will corrode any steel that lacks Extraordinary Power. And after the dark rain, a great terror will follow. Our most urgent task is to head to the nearby Da Liu Village to take shelter from the rain and escape the great terror that will soon arrive."

A stunning beauty approached them. She was dressed in white, with a tall figure, a slender waist, perky hips, and a full bust. Her skin was as translucent as jade, her facial features were exquisitely perfect, and her beauty was unparalleled. She carried a scholarly air, and her distinct black-and-white eyes shone with the brilliance of Gemstones.

An ordinary-looking old servant with graying hair followed by the stunning beauty’s side.

When the five Zhu Clan Grandmasters saw the stunning beauty, their expressions changed slightly, and ripples stirred in their hearts.

Shu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Who are you?"

The stunning beauty smiled sweetly. "I am Zhu Chenyu, an illegitimate daughter of the Zhu Clan’s main branch! I know you are Shu Feng, Patriarch of the Shu Family. It’s an honor to meet you. However, our most urgent task right now is to join forces and escape the impending great terror."

Shu Feng suddenly smiled. "Our meeting isn’t a coincidence, is it?"

"The Zhu Clan wishes to arrange a marriage with you. I am one of the candidates. That is why I came here specifically, to see for myself just what kind of person you are."

"As for this Dark Demon Wind, I have no Ability to control it. No one on all of Blue Star can control the appearance of the Dark Demon Wind. Therefore, this isn’t a trap. Our meeting is half fate, half human design."

"Also, if we don’t go take shelter soon, the dark rain will begin to fall! My cultivation is only at the Spirit Warrior Level. I can’t withstand the corrosion of the dark rain."

Zhu Chenyu looked up at the sky, a trace of worry flickering in her beautiful eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, Shu Feng said, "Alright! Let’s go together!"

The Dark Demon Wind stretched for dozens of miles, and even someone as strong as Shu Feng couldn’t see its edge. It was unlikely to be a Secret Treasure belonging to the Zhu Clan. Shu Feng had also heard Jiang Chao mention the Dark Demon Wind of the Void Demon Realm in passing.

Shu Feng’s group quickly headed for Da Liu Village by the side of the road.

Da Liu Village was a village near Holy Yuan City. The surrounding scenery was pleasant, and the villagers were resourceful; every household had started up farmhouse inns, and family-run hotels were everywhere.

Shu Feng’s group walked straight into the most luxurious building in the village, a nine-story hotel.

"Welcome! I’m the proprietress, Fangfang. Are you all together?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face, short hair, and a plump figure. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Shu Feng’s group, and she eagerly came forward to greet them. She had been running this family hotel for many years and could tell at a glance that everyone in Shu Feng’s group had an extraordinary air. They were either rich or noble, definitely the type to be generous spenders.

Sheng Xin said arrogantly, "That’s right! We’re booking out your entire hotel for the day. Name your price!"

Fangfang beamed. "Our Fangfang Hotel is the most luxurious five-star hotel in Da Liu Village. The daily rate to book out a whole floor is 50,000. We already have guests on two floors, so we can only offer you the upper seven. How about this? I’ll make it 30,000 per floor. For seven floors, that’s 210,000 total. How does that sound?"

Shu Feng said flatly, "We’re only booking the top floor."

Fangfang’s gaze immediately fell on Sheng Xin.

"He is my master. His words are a Holy Decree. Didn’t you hear him?"

Sheng Xin glared at Fangfang, releasing a trace of Spiritual Pressure as he snapped.

"Yes! Yes! The rate for one floor is 50,000—no, 30,000!"

The Spiritual Pressure bearing down on Fangfang filled her heart with Fear, and she answered in a hurry.

While Sheng Xin was handling the check-in procedures, a fierce gale erupted outside, and a black rain began to pour down like a waterfall.

"Dammit, why did it suddenly start raining?!"

Seven men and women ran through the black rain, cursing and swearing as they sprinted toward the Fangfang Hotel.

"No!! It hurts!!"

"Help!! Save me!"

"..."

Suddenly, the seven men and women let out bloodcurdling screams. In the black rain, their skin began to peel off, turning them into stark-naked, blood-drenched humanoid monsters that struggled frantically in the downpour.

"What’s happening? What was that?"

Seeing such a terrifying scene, Fangfang’s eyes filled with Fear as she let out a choked scream.

"Fangfang, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?"

A tall, bald man with a beer belly rushed out of the hotel, ran to Fangfang’s side, and asked with a concerned look on his face.

Shu Feng watched the terrifying black rain, his brow furrowed slightly. He snapped his fingers, and a Dragon Hunting Dog was instantly summoned, charging into the deluge.

SZZT! SZZT!

As soon as the Dragon Hunting Dog charged into the black rain, black smoke began to rise from its body, and its internal Spiritual Power was consumed at a frantic rate.

After just twenty seconds, the Dragon Hunting Dog had to retreat from the terrifying black rain, as if it had been submerged in strong acid.

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. ’Twenty seconds. Even a Spirit Sect Realm expert could only last for twenty seconds in that black rain. If this kind of terrifying rain appeared while we were fighting the Void Demons, wouldn’t we be completely defenseless?’

Zhu Chenyu said, "The appearance of this terrifying black rain has its omens. Only the rain that follows the Dark Demon Wind has such terrifying Power. Moreover, this kind of rain doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe. Even a Void Demon would be dissolved if it entered."

A look of surprise flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. "You really know a lot."

Zhu Chenyu smiled faintly. "My cultivation Talent is poor! All I can do is read. I’ve simply read a few more books than others, that’s all. It’s hardly a great Ability."
