Chapter 544: The Revenge of Kuang Niu
Chapter 544: The Revenge of Kuang Niu
Jin Jiao had already taken Ling Feng's medicinal pill , his breathing stabilized, and he looked at Ling Feng with a complex expression. With Xiaomeng's help, he walked up to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng pursed his lips while curiously eyeing Jin Jiao, unsure of what this competitive guy wanted to say.
"You're strong!"
Jin Jiao clenched his fist and spat out these three words.
Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, and then smiled. "You're strong too."
Jin Jiao gave a self-deprecating smile. "I was too arrogant before. Prince Long Fei truly deserves the spot for the Ancestral Soul Awakening."
In the demon race, strength was revered. Ling Feng had defeated Jin Jiao and naturally earned his respect.
Though Ling Feng had taken his spot, he did so with his own strength, leaving Jin Jiao with nothing to say.
"Hmph." Xiaomeng still seemed dissatisfied, biting her lip but ultimately saying nothing.
In light of Ling Feng's gift of the medicinal pill, she decided not to trouble this prince from the main branch anymore.
"Also, thank you for the medicinal pill." Jin Jiao took a deep breath. "Although humans are often shameless and cunning, the medicinal pills they refine are indeed things our demon race doesn't have."
"Yeah, hehe..."
Ling Feng touched his nose, feeling a bit helpless. Being insulted while having to smile was truly frustrating!
Seeing Jin Jiao and Ling Feng make peace, Jin Zhulong stroked his long beard, silently admiring the methods of this Prince Long Fei.
To think that this Prince Long Fei, in such a short time, managed to handle the unruly youngsters of the clan so effectively.
This must be the natural ruling power of royal blood.
"By the way," Ling Feng suddenly turned to Jin Zhulong and said, "Chief Zhulong, the Ancestral Soul Awakening Ceremony is still about half a month away. Before that, I would like to explore the Ancient Cave of Time. Could you possibly guide me to that mystical mountain path?"
"Of course," Jin Zhulong nodded. "Since the old ancestor himself said you could go to the Ancient Cave of Time, perhaps you are the only one who can enter that legendary place."
"Great. Then I’ll trouble you, Chief."
Ling Feng cupped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute to Jin Zhulong and was about to follow him to the back mountain when a Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan guard rushed in from outside the cave, announcing loudly, "Chief, someone from the Lin Demon Clan has come to visit."
"The Lin Demon Clan?"
Ling Feng's eyes twitched. I had just left them less than a day ago, and now the Lin Demon Clan has sent someone to the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan. Could this have something to do with me?
Jin Zhulong also squinted his eyes, puzzled. "Our Three-Headed Demonic Jiao branch has had no dealings with the Lin Demon Clan. Why would they suddenly visit?"
"I don't know." The guard shook his head, but then suddenly remembered something and added, "But the woman from the Lin Demon Clan said she was looking for someone named Lord Long Fei. She seemed quite anxious. I thought we didn’t have a Lord Long Fei in our clan..."
"Now we do," a young Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan member laughed, his face showing a hint of ambiguity.
Everyone knew that the Lin Demon Clan in Heavenly Demon City was renowned for their beauty. This Prince Long Fei, as expected of a prince, was quite the charmer!
Ling Feng felt a jolt in his heart; they were indeed here for him.
Jin Zhulong, seeing Ling Feng's expression, quickly smiled and said, "Bring our friends from the Lin Demon Clan in immediately!"
"Yes!"
The guard, hearing the chief's command, rushed out of the cave to bring the visitors in.
In no time, a graceful young demoness from the Lin Demon Clan followed the guard into the cave. Seeing the scene inside, she was startled.
"It's you!"
Ling Feng's eyes twitched. This demoness seemed to be a maid who had always been by Hai Lingxiang's side. When they were on the outskirts of the Sky Demon Forest, she had returned to Heavenly Demon City with him. Her name seemed to be Yun Shu.
"Lord Long Fei!"
The maid, Yun Shu, scanned the room and immediately locked her gaze on Ling Feng, her eyes reddening.
"Uh..." Ling Feng was taken aback. He quickly walked up to Yun Shu and asked, "You're Yun Shu, right? What happened?"
Yun Shu immediately burst into tears. "Lord Long Fei, t-the princess has been captured by Kuang Niu of the Minotaur Clan!"
"What?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched again. "Impossible. Isn't Princess Lingxiang in the Lin Demon Clan's settlement? How could Kuang Niu have captured her?"
"Lord, after you left our Lin Demon Clan, the princess left the settlement. When I saw that the princess had not returned for a long time, I went to look for her. As soon as I left the tribe, someone threw a piece of cloth at me. It was from Kuang Niu. He took the princess and said you must go rescue her alone!"
Yun Shu, her eyes red, handed a piece of cloth to Ling Feng while crying. "Lord Long Fei, you must rescue the princess!"
Ling Feng took the cloth and examined it closely...
Well, he couldn't understand the demon race's writing at all, but Yun Shu had made it very clear.
That Kuang Niu was indeed relentless and audacious!
Ling Feng clenched his fists. He felt responsible for Hai Lingxiang's predicament. Although she was from the demon race, and humans and demons were natural enemies, Ling Feng was not one to be bound by such prejudices.
When he infiltrated Heavenly Demon City, Hai Lingxiang had helped him a lot. She was a friend, so he couldn't just stand by.
"Where is Kuang Niu? Take me to him!"
Cold killing intent flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. It seemed he had been too lenient the last two times. Since Kuang Niu sought his own death, he couldn't be blamed.
"Wait a moment!"
Jin Zhulong, wise and experienced, quickly grasped the situation from Ling Feng and Yun Shu's brief exchange.
"Prince Long Fei, you are invaluable and must not risk yourself alone! I have heard of Kuang Niu; he is the young master of the Minotaur Clan and likely has many experts by his side. Let me send a few elders with you."
Jin Zhulong took a deep breath, his expression serious.
He had already recognized Ling Feng as part of the royal bloodline of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan and couldn't allow anything to happen to him, especially not in Heavenly Demon City.
So, even if the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan had to offend the Minotaur Clan, he couldn't care less.
"A mere minotaur doesn't concern me," Ling Feng snorted coldly. "There's no need for the chief to intervene. I have my own plans."
"That won't do. Your safety is the priority," Jin Zhulong insisted.
"Don't worry, I will be fine." Ling Feng took out the demon emperor's token and said calmly, "Chief Zhulong, with this token, even the chief of the Minotaur Clan wouldn't dare harm me. Do you still think I'll be in danger?"
"T-This is the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's token!" Jin Zhulong's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but gasp.
This Prince Long Fei is truly unfathomable!
