Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 276 Emperor? Just a roadside stall!
After listening to Wang Feng's words, Mu Rong remained silent for a moment.

"So it was you?" he asked in a calm tone. "What are you doing here? And what do you intend to do to this old man?"

"It's nothing," Wang Feng shrugged. "Someone asked me for help, so I came."

"Help?" Mu Rong sneered. "What does this have to do with me? The forbidden ritual has already begun, and even I cannot stop it."

“You’ve got it wrong,” Wang Feng shook his head, then suddenly revealed a dangerous smile. “My commission is to kill an emperor.”

A strange light flashed in Mu Rong's eyes.

"An emperor?" he said in a low voice. "There is no emperor here, only a group of dragon king ants that are threatening the sea, and a monarch-level sea monster that can bewitch people."

“No,” Wang Feng looked directly into Mu Rong’s eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, “There is one, and that is you—the Emperor of the Far South from the far south!”

Mu Rong's smile suddenly twisted, like a crumpled piece of paper: "The Emperor of the Far South? What are you talking about?"

"Still pretending?" Wang Feng sneered. "Mu Rong led a team to the far south for exploration, and in the end, he was the only one who came back alive—"

"It's because he knelt before you begging for mercy," Wang Feng pressed, "and yet you still turned him into a puppet, placing him in the human world to wait for an opportunity to betray him. Am I right?"

Mu Rong's expression froze instantly.

His eyes suddenly turned into two black holes, with bottomless darkness swirling within them.

Wisps of black mist seeped from his pores, twisting and turning into hideous ghostly figures in the air.

But Wang Feng was faster.

"The Holy Kingdom!"

A dazzling soul shadow erupted behind him, and the phantom of the holy city in the sky crashed down.

Pure holy light cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly purifying the black mist that emitted a piercing shriek.

"Damn it!" Mu Rong gritted his teeth, the evil shadow within him was completely suppressed.

Something was writhing wildly beneath his skin, yet it could never break free from the shackles of the holy light.

"Stop struggling, the more you struggle, the more I like it."

A playful smile appeared on Wang Feng's lips. Suddenly, a strange dark red star map appeared beneath his feet, with star trails drawn like blood slowly rotating on the ground.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?" A charming figure rose gracefully from the star map. Jiuyouhou tossed her long hair and smiled slightly.

She exuded a suffocating aura of death, yet also possessed a touch of allure.

Since devouring the Egyptian underworld, the power of the eight dead kings has increased dramatically.

As Wang Feng's key protégé, Jiuyou Hou has broken through that crucial threshold—although she is only at the sub-emperor level, she has completely transcended the realm of monarch.

Wang Feng casually pointed at Mu Rong: "Jiuyou, this old thing is your toy."

"Ugh~" Empress Jiuyou pouted in disdain, about to complain, when suddenly her eyes lit up: "Huh? It's actually a fragment of an emperor's soul?"

She immediately smiled and bowed gracefully to Wang Feng: "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty~ Once I have consolidated my cultivation, I will definitely repay you properly~" She even winked ambiguously as she spoke.

"Get down here now," Wang Feng waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes, sir~" Jiuyou turned to look at the immobilized Mu Rong, her charming smile carrying a hint of danger: "No matter where you are an emperor, since you have fallen into the king's hands..."

She parted her red lips slightly, "Then obediently become my nourishment~" Mu Rong's face twisted in disgust: "Despicable humans! You were the ones who invaded my territory first! I will never..."

"Shut up!" Jiuyouhou's face turned cold, and with a light lift of her jade hand, she directly extracted the evil soul from Mu Rong's body.

The black aura struggled and twisted in her palm before finally turning into a wisp of green smoke, which she then collected into her sleeve and took back to the Abyss of Evil.

Mo Fan and his group had just rushed over from the small wooden house when they witnessed the final scene of Jiu You taking away the evil soul, and they were all instantly petrified.

"Holy crap. That's it?" Mo Fan's mouth was agape enough to fit an egg. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Wang Feng shrugged: "I told you, it's just a mere fragment of an emperor's soul, what waves can it possibly make?"

Hua Zhanhong stared intently at the spot where Jiuyou had disappeared, his Adam's apple bobbing: "That undead just now...could it be..."

“Yes, I raised them.” Wang Feng said matter-of-factly.

"Hiss—" Hua Zhanhong gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his gaze toward Wang Feng now held a hint of awe.

This young man was even more unfathomable than he had imagined.
Wang Feng suddenly frowned: "Wait, where did Zhao Manyan and Monkey go?"

"Holy crap!" Mo Fan slapped his forehead. "They're still in the sea!"

After saying that, he dashed towards the beach, raising a cloud of dust behind him.

Hua Yuezhu and Mu Bai exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they followed Mo Fan and ran off. The three of them disappeared off the coastline in the blink of an eye.

Wang Feng withdrew his gaze and turned to Hua Zhanhong: "Commander Hua, what are your plans to do with those Dragon King Ants in the sea?"

"Dragon King Ants?" Hua Zhanhong was taken aback at first, then shook his head with a wry smile: "This is difficult. These beasts are too scattered. Even if we use forbidden spells, we may not be able to clean them up completely."

He gazed worriedly at the sea: "And just as Mu Bai said, this area connects to the deep sea. If we rashly use forbidden spells, we might inadvertently open a passage for the sea monsters, and then..."

Wang Feng nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the surging sea.

Hua Zhanhong's caution was not without reason, but allowing these sea monsters to linger here was not a long-term solution.

“Chief Hua,” Wang Feng suddenly spoke, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, “if I can resolve the trouble in this sea area, is there any reward?”

"You? You can take care of the sirens here?" Hua Zhanhong turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Are you sure?"

“Of course,” Wang Feng smiled confidently, “and I guarantee it won’t have any impact on the environment.”

Hua Zhanhong fell into deep thought, his fingers unconsciously tapping his arm.

After a moment, he looked up and said solemnly, "Good! If you can clear this sea area without using forbidden spells, all the elemental diamonds in Qinhuangdao's stock will be yours, and I will also apply for a batch of special resources for you."

He paused, his tone turning serious: "But I must remind you, what lies hidden beneath the deep sea is something even I cannot predict."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng revealed an expectant expression: "That's perfect, I couldn't be happier if they showed up on their own."

Seeing the fearless smile on the young man's face, Hua Zhanhong's tense nerves inexplicably relaxed a little.

Hua Zhanhong took a deep breath, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll wait here for good news."

A meaningful smile appeared on Wang Feng's lips as he gazed intently at the turbulent sea in the distance.
