"This crazed and deranged state of yours is worse than death!" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's palm pressed down harder. Even a tiger does not devour its cubs, so how could he bear to harm his own child? Yet when he saw his once extraordinarily gifted son reduced to such a condition, the pain in his heart was something no outsider could truly comprehend. "My child, your father will avenge you without fail!" With a low growl, Yin Xue's forehead burst apart. Blood sprayed outward, splattering across the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's face. Given his ability, he could have easily kept the blood from touching him. However, he allowed it to cover his cheeks, letting the hot, metallic scent fuel his rage until it burned at its peak. At the instant of Yin Xue's death, fragments of his memories formed into luminous scenes. Some were about him and the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, others about countless experiences he had gone through. Yet the face that appeared most often was that of a strikingly young and handsome man. "So it really is you!" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor clenched his fists tightly. "Long Fei, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!" Silver Serpent Enchantress caught sight of that face and cried out, "Master, he… he is the one who took the Supreme Lotus Seed!" Her words made both the Blood Sword Heavenly Lord and the Demon-Masked Lord turn their heads toward her, their pupils shrinking sharply. It was indeed Ling Feng! This man truly had the audacity of the heavens themselves to infiltrate the demon race so brazenly. "Your Majesty, that is correct. This person is Ling Feng. Long Fei is Ling Feng." Lin Canglang's voice was cold. "No wonder," the Blood Sword Heavenly Lord exclaimed, slapping the table. "No wonder this brat could find our Supreme Lotus Seed. Back then, he was right in the Cangyan Mountain range, only one sea away from Yanming Sea Island!" "Ling Feng is Long Fei?" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's eyes filled with disbelief. That boy was not of the demon race? How had he obtained the protection of a mysterious and powerful demon clan expert? Why had he been able to pass himself off as a royal heir of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan? And how had he later become a human general? Just who was this boy, and what was there that he dared not do? Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's eyelids twitched as a terrifying thought flashed through his mind. If Ling Feng could disguise himself so perfectly as a demon that even he could not tell the difference, then could it be that Ling Feng's true purpose in infiltrating the Canglong Sanctum was… He suddenly recalled that Ling Feng had witnessed the entire process of him secretly attacking the Qiongqi Demon Emperor. If Ling Feng were to report this, and the Canglong demon ruler pursued the matter, his own position among the Big Eight Demon Emperors would be finished. With a sudden movement, Silver Wolf Demon Emperor appeared before the demon king of the Red Dragon Hall and asked coldly, "Who was the one who won first place in the competition between the three great demon sanctums this time?" The demon king swallowed hard and replied in a low voice, "It… it was that Long Fei." Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's expression darkened. With a sweep of his wide sleeves, he ordered, "Silver Serpent, you will accompany me to the Canglong Sanctum!" Although she did not fully understand, Silver Serpent Enchantress would not dare disobey an order from the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. "And you two as well!" He turned his gaze to the Blood Sword Heavenly Lord and the Demon-Masked Lord, his voice icy. "You will come with me!" Lin Canglang and Li Qingling exchanged a glance, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes. It seemed that this time, Ling Feng would find it hard to escape his fate. Ling Feng had no idea that his identity had been completely exposed. He simply returned with the main force of the Canglong Sanctum. According to the rules, since he had defeated the elites of the other two great demon sanctums on behalf of the Canglong Sanctum, he would be rewarded the next morning and granted an audience with the Canglong demon ruler. With that thought, it felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart. For the past several days, he had been plagued by a sense of unease, which only made him more eager to leave the demon domain and return to the Tianfeng Battalion. He did not know how his brothers and subordinates were faring. Perhaps things had not gone as smoothly as he had hoped. After returning to the Canglong Sanctum, the Purple Dragon Envoy received him. It seemed Bai Linger had told her mother about how Ling Feng had saved her life. As a result, Purple Dragon Envoy looked at Ling Feng with the same approving gaze a mother-in-law might have for her son-in-law, growing more satisfied the more she looked. After all, for a newcomer of less than a month to earn an audience with the demon ruler was an honor unprecedented for centuries. It was clear his future prospects would be limitless, and giving her daughter to him would hardly be a humiliation. Unfortunately, Ling Feng had no intention of becoming the Purple Dragon Hall's son-in-law. The next morning, he would tell the Canglong demon ruler about the Qiongqi Demon Emperor incident, then take his leave with his task complete. As for the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, the crimes of plotting against one of the Big Nine Demon Emperors and starting a war to refine the Evil Dao White Lotus were more than enough to cost him his head. At the very least, he would be unable to protect himself, and the border war would naturally calm down. This would be a good thing for both the human race and the demon race, and he would have avenged his old friend, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor.

Go and rest well, and make sure you show proper decorum tomorrow." Purple Dragon Envoy smiled warmly. Ling Feng's audience with the demon ruler would bring great honor to the Purple Dragon Hall. "Then this disciple will take his leave." Ling Feng bowed to the Purple Dragon Envoy and left the hall. When he returned to his quarters, he found that Mu Qianxue had been waiting for some time. "Big Brother Long, you're finally back." Seeing him, Mu Qianxue hurried forward, looking very much like a wife welcoming her husband home from a long journey. Ling Feng smiled. "Tomorrow I will meet the Canglong demon ruler, and then we can leave this place." Mu Qianxue's lips curved into a smile. "I already heard the rumors. You are the great hero of the Purple Dragon Hall now." "Hehe..." Ling Feng shook his head with a faint laugh. "Let's just hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow." "It will, without a doubt. Because…" Mu Qianxue lowered her voice and whispered, "Because you are the all-capable Big Brother Ling!" In that tender moment, she even rose slightly on her toes. If Ling Feng had wished, he could have easily kissed her. Instead, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and changed the subject. "It's a pity that neither of us are of the demon race. Otherwise, staying here to cultivate wouldn't be so bad. At least the Purple Dragon Envoy treats you very well." Mu Qianxue cast him a sidelong glance, biting her lip with a trace of sadness. "I still feel like I've wronged my master somehow." "Let's not think about that for now. Go and rest. Tomorrow, we leave." Ling Feng gently patted her shoulder and escorted her out of the ordinary disciples' quarters. Only then did he return to his own room. As soon as he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep. Too much had happened over the past few days, and he was utterly exhausted.
