Chapter 715: Yellow Springs
Chapter 715: Yellow Springs
After about an incense stick’s worth of time, Ox-Head and Horse-Face knelt on both knees, seemingly subdued by Qin Feng.
Especially Ox-Head, who had been beaten black and blue, looked miserable, far worse than Horse-Face.
This was also mixed with a bit of Qin Feng’s personal emotions. He was a pure lover, so he disliked Ox-Head…
Qin Feng raised his right hand again, and thunder arcs surged above his fist.
Seeing this, Ox-Head and Horse-Face hurriedly shouted, “Stop, big brother, stop!”
“If you don’t want me to continue, that’s fine. From now on, you will answer whatever I ask. Understand?” Qin Feng said indifferently.
“Understood!” The two men nodded hastily.
“Where is the Yellow Spring? Is it nearby?” Qin Feng asked.
Horse-Face asked curiously, “Why does Big Brother want to ask about such a sinister place?”
Qin Feng raised his right hand and slapped Ox-head’s face hard, and said coldly, “If I ask you, you will only answer. Don’t you understand?”Ox-Head covered his cheek and said sadly, “Big Brother, it was Horse-Face who asked, why did you hit me?”
Qin Feng glanced at him and lightly replied, “Who asked you to conveniently stand on the right side and block his position?”
Horse-Face glanced at his current position and silently moved to Qin Feng’s left side.
Horse-Face hastily replied, “Big Brother, you’re joking. If the Yellow Springs were nearby, how could we stay here with our cultivation?”
Qin Feng frowned at his words, “How dare you lie to me?”

As he spoke, he gestured as if he was about to strike again.
Horse-Face covered his face and said, “Big Brother, we didn’t lie to you. With our cultivation, we’d be completely destroyed if we encountered the water of the Yellow Springs. Even the aura emanating from the Yellow Springs could cause us serious harm. We fear the Yellow Springs and avoid them at all costs.”
Are the Yellow Springs so scary? Why didn’t my two elder brothers mention it before they sent me here?
In that case, how can I cross the Yellow Springs and find the Farshore Flower?
Qin Feng’s expression became grim. Then he pointed to the area where the red light was floating and asked, “Is this the Gate of Hell?”
“It is indeed the Gate of Hell.”
“Before I came down, I once met a ghost general who had entered the human realm. He said that in order to enter the human realm through a rift, one must swim across the Yellow Spring River and pass through the Gate of Hell.”
“Since the Gate of Hell is right in front of us, why aren’t there any Yellow Springs nearby?”
Actually, these words were not spoken by the ghost general, but were passed on by Senior Li Yang. However, Qin Feng couldn’t confirm Senior Li Yang’s status in the Netherworld Realm, so he couldn’t mention it casually.
Horse-Face suddenly realized, “Big Brother, you might not know this, but the Gate of Hell mentioned by the Ghost General is not the Gate of Hell here.”
“The Netherworld is divided into four regions: East, South, West, and North, with Fengdu where the Ghost Lord resides.”
“All five of these places have a Gate of Hell. And as far as I know, in order to enter the human realm through the rift that appeared half a year ago, one must pass through the Gate of Hell under the jurisdiction of Lord Shentu of the eastern region.”
“It is only when the Yellow Springs appear there that the ghost generals can safely pass through.”
“What do you mean by that? Could it be that the Yellow Springs can change locations indefinitely?” Qin Feng asked curiously.
Horse-Face nodded, “Originally, the Yellow Springs traversed Fengdu and served as the inevitable path for the souls of the dead to return to life.”
“However, thousands of years ago, a mysterious and terrifying presence descended upon the Netherworld and disrupted the order of that realm.”
“Since then, the Yellow Springs no longer remain in one place, but appear throughout the Netherworld along with the temporal chaos.”
“Since then, the Netherworld no longer attracts wandering souls, nor can it allow spirits to reincarnate. And the Yellow Springs, as the path of reincarnation, has become a place that all ghosts avoid.”
“Even powerful beings such as ghost generals, if they touch the water of the Yellow Springs, they may face the destruction of both body and soul.”
Qin Feng’s expression darkened, “If that’s the case, why is it that when the Yellow Springs appear at the Gate of Hell in the northern region, they can pass through the Yellow Springs and even use the divine ability of ‘Plucking Stars and Reaping Lives’?”
Horse-Face looked surprised, “How do you know about ‘Pluck Stars and Reap Lives’?”
Qin Feng raised his left hand and slapped Ox-Head’s face hard, “Have you forgotten what I just said? Now I ask, you answer!”
Ox-Head was at a loss, “Big Brother, it was Horse-Face who asked. Why are you hitting me again?”
“Who asked you to stand on the left side and block his position?”
Ox-Head looked confused when he heard this. He had the feeling that this Big Brother was targeting him, but he had no proof.
Seeing this, Horse-Face hurriedly explained, “I don’t know the details, but one thing is certain.”
“If the Yellow Springs are connected to the Gate of Hell in the northern region, the terrifying power of the Yellow Springs will be suppressed.”
“Only then can the ghost generals safely pass through the Yellow Springs and enter the human realm through the crack in the sky!”
Qin Feng frowned when he heard this. In other words, in order to safely cross the Yellow Springs and find the Farshore Flower, one must wait for the Yellow Springs to appear at the Gate of Hell in the northern region.
However, the mortal world is under attack by that monster. Since the enemy is immortal, characters like Nan Tianlong and others will inevitably be at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle. Therefore, he must quickly find the Yellow Springs and obtain the Farshore Flower!
With this in mind, Qin Feng asked, “Do you two know where the Yellow Spring is now?”
Horse-Face looked surprised at the question, “Big Brother, are you planning to search for the Yellow…”
Before he could finish, there was a thud as Ox-Head kicked Horse-Face away.
Ox-Head grumbled, “Big Brother asks you something, you answer. Where are all these questions coming from?”
After scolding him, Ox-Head felt relieved, then rubbed his hands together and said ingratiatingly to Qin Feng, “Big brother, am I right?”
This guy has become quite clever… Qin Feng sighed with regret as he lowered his left hand and then asked, “Then why don’t you answer the question I just asked you?”
“Huh?” Ox-Head was stunned, then awkwardly chuckled, “The Yellow Springs are unpredictable, how should I know where they are?”
Seeing Qin Feng’s increasingly grim expression, Ox-Head hurriedly added, “But there’s someone who definitely knows!”
“Who?”
“The Lord who guards the Gate of Hell!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng fell into a state of contemplation. Whoever was able to guard the Gate of Hell was certainly no ordinary person. Although he could easily deal with Ox-Head and Horse-Face, he lacked the confidence to deal with this so-called Lord.
At that moment, he glanced down at the red line on his chest that extended in the direction of the Gate of Hell in front of him.
‘It seems that I will have to take a trip to this Gate of Hell regardless.’
Out of caution, Qin Feng activated his divine sense and communicated with Chi Qi. He transformed the Annihilating Thunder into chains and wrapped them around the collars of Ox-Head and Horse-Face and threatened, “You two will go and talk to this lord and inquire about the location of the Yellow Springs. If you dare to do anything rashly, I’ll remove your heads. Do you understand?”
“We understand, we understand,” they both replied immediately, their voices shaking.
Following the path of white bones and passing through layers of yellow mist, Qin Feng, guided by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, approached the crimson glow.
He saw many lost souls and wandering ghosts, including armored soldiers and emaciated civilians. These were the people who had died in the turbulent times, now transformed into ghosts in the netherworld realm.
Suddenly, a cold wind swept through, like a blade slicing through bones, causing the lost souls to utter pitiful cries.
Qin Feng’s eyebrows furrowed at this sight, and then he heard a heavy voice echoing above him:
“Those who don’t want to die, hurry up!”
