"Heh. Arrogant fool. You deserve to die!" In the next instant, a crimson blur flashed out of the void. It was the Red Dragon Hall's demon emperor stationed in this region, the Flame Tiger Demon Emperor. "You... Flame Tiger Demon Emperor, weren't you already... pfft!" Qing Chuan Demon King suddenly coughed up blood. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, dead from his injuries. "A demon emperor stooping to kill a disciple? Aren't you afraid people will laugh when they hear about it?" Ling Feng took a deep breath and calmly pulled the hidden weapon from Bai Linger's body. His voice was cold and quiet. "Laugh? You really think you'll live long enough to hear it?" Flame Tiger Demon Emperor sneered. "Do you have any idea who Yin Xue is? He's the hall master's favored disciple and the most promising heir of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. You turned him into an idiot. That alone has ruined our alliance with the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor!" His face twisted with rage. "Brat, I'll take your head and offer it to the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor myself. That might be enough to ease his fury!" "Another one of Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's lackeys. Perfect!" A cold light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. He turned to Bai Linger and spoke gently. He tapped her lightly, knocking her unconscious, then stored her in the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Flame Tiger Demon Emperor's pupils shrank. Then he burst into laughter. "A treasure that holds living beings in its own internal world? That must be a top-tier sacred artifact. Impressive. You really are full of surprises!" "You can admire it from hell!" Ling Feng exhaled and growled softly. "Despicable Donkey, come stretch your legs!" At his current strength, Ling Feng still could not defeat a demon emperor without using Chaotic Rebirth. But the price of that ability was far too high to waste on someone this insignificant. Despicable Donkey, who was already at the early stage of demon emperor level, was more than enough. A strange laugh echoed out. A shadow appeared in midair, then landed with a thud. The creature looked like a donkey but was wrapped in a red headscarf and stood with an eerie, muscular build. About seventy percent of its form resembled a donkey. If this was a donkey, then the bulging muscles and dragon scales covering its body were far too unnatural. Even Flame Tiger Demon Emperor felt a wave of unease at the sight of its grotesque face. He felt his bloodline being completely suppressed. He could not understand how a donkey could exude such terrifying dragon might! Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 "Hehe. You were acting tough just a moment ago. Didn't you know this kid is under the protection of this divine beast?" Despicable Donkey grinned and bared two oversized, gleaming white teeth. Flame Tiger Demon Emperor began to tremble. "This is a misunderstanding. My lord, this was all a misunderstanding!" "Despicable Donkey, don't waste time." Ling Feng frowned. Bai Linger's injuries still needed attention. Despicable Donkey let out a theatrical sigh, cast a glance at the Flame Tiger Demon Emperor, then raised a hoof. "Heaven-Crushing Giant Palm!" A wave of violent force exploded outward, blasting the surrounding cave walls apart. The Flame Tiger Demon Emperor fought with everything he had. In the end, he died under the donkey's hoof, full of regret. After absorbing the power of the Supreme Lotus Seed, Despicable Donkey's strength had already reached the threshold of a mid-tier demon emperor. Flame Tiger Demon Emperor never stood a chance. The cave collapsed at high speed. Ling Feng did not hesitate. He and Despicable Donkey teleported straight into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. A wave of destructive power swept through the area, flattening everything within a hundred meters. Just moments later, a sinister energy surged out and restored the cave to its original state. Flame Tiger Demon Emperor's crushed corpse was pulled into the ground, devoured without even a drop of blood left behind. Soon after, the corpses of Qing Chuan Demon King and Chi Gui, both shredded earlier, were also swallowed. This cave was eating flesh! And in no time, the entire cave looked untouched, as if nothing had ever occurred. Inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Ling Feng and Despicable Donkey watched the horrifying scene through a luminous barrier. Both inhaled sharply. It seemed the ancient soul had spoken the truth. Anyone who came here was likely already doomed, and even powerful demon emperor experts were no exception. "We're screwed, Ling Feng." Despicable Donkey's voice was low. His expression was grave. "Maybe not. I still have a token that can teleport me to the Misty Ghost Forest. I'll use it if things get too dangerous" "You wish. The spatial laws here have been sealed. Even emperor-level experts can't slip into the void. That token won't work." Despicable Donkey rolled his eyes with a defeated look. If he had to spend the rest of his life trapped in this cursed place, he would rather have stayed in the Misty Ghost Forest. At least there were birds and flowers there. Compared to this, that place was a paradise. "When the cart reaches the mountain, there'll be a road." Ling Feng pursed his lips. Since he could enter this place, there had to be a way to leave. Besides, he still had the Realm-Piercing Shuttle, which could break through any barrier. This place was just another form of barrier. With the Realm-Piercing Shuttle, he might be able to escape. Still, he wanted to investigate further. If he could find the Dragon Emperor Seal, that would be ideal. He lifted the unconscious Bai Linger and took out a set of golden needles. Treating demons was trickier than humans. Their meridians and acupoints were different. Fortunately, Bai Linger's physique was highly resistant to toxins, and her life was not in danger. Soon, Ling Feng had purged the poison from her system. As she began to wake, he sealed her soul once more and allowed her to rest in the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. He would release her once they escaped this cursed place. After all, Bai Linger was still a demon. Their positions were different. The less she knew about him, the safer she would be. Once she was stable, Ling Feng left the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Hiding inside forever would be safe, but it would not bring him any closer to finding a way out. The cave stretched endlessly. It was vast beyond reason. Ling Feng felt as if even time had frozen. He could no longer sense its flow. Aside from the occasional flicker of red light or distant howls, the cave remained deathly still. What puzzled him most were the scattered weapons lying along the ground. Not a single corpse could be seen. There was an old saying: "If the sword is lost, the warrior has fallen. If the sword remains, the warrior still lives." But now, only weapons remain. Their owners had likely been devoured by the cave long ago.
