Chapter 1123: Despicable Donkey, Someone's Looking for You

Black Dragon Pool lay a hundred miles west of Weiling City. It was a desolate stretch of land, bitterly cold and devoid of life. Other than hunters who lived by slaying demonic beasts, few people ever set foot there.

In recent days, however, the Tiejian Sect, overlord of Weiling City, had sealed off the entire region as though guarding some priceless treasure.

"Young Master, should we allow the disciples to rest? Even though they took Fire Marrow Pills beforehand, the cold qi of the Ice Lin is too strange. Three days have passed and we have yet to force it out, while twenty or thirty of our men have already died."

The one speaking was an elder wrapped in thick fox furs. His face had turned faintly blue, and each breath came out as a puff of icy mist. For a king-tier expert, this was a rare sight.

At his side stood a youth in yellow robes. His features were plain, yet the malice radiating from his body was suffocating. He was barely twenty, and his cold eyes never left the depths of the pool. From within came the faint sobs and shivering gasps of disciples struggling to endure the chill.

"Elder Ying, this Ice Lin is a treasure I will claim."

The young master's expression was hard. "Those people are nothing but lowly disciples, dogs in human skin. If they die, so be it. As long as their lives help me seize the Ice Lin, even their deaths carry value. I went to great effort to learn that a rare elemental life form is hiding here. If anyone makes a mistake that costs me this beast, all of them will be executed!"

"

Uh...

"

Elder Ying's lips twitched. The old sect leader had already been ruthless, but this young master was worse. He cared nothing for the lives of his disciples. Truly, like father, like son.

"They can blame only themselves. Three full days and they have not even glimpsed the shadow of the Ice Lin!"

Qi Shaoshang, the young master of Tiejian Sect, let out a cold laugh. "But the cold qi does not lie. Since yesterday, it has grown even stronger. The Fire Marrow Pills can hardly hold it back now. The Ice Lin must have sensed danger and released its cold qi!"

His gaze locked onto the black waters of the pool, a feverish light in his eyes. His lips curled into an eager smile. "Who would have thought Black Dragon Pool, so close to Weiling City, would hide an Ice Lin? An elemental life form, undying and indestructible. If I tame it, then combine that power with taking the Feng family, Tiejian Sect will rise into the ranks of the great sects.

Hehehe...

"

Elder Ying shook his head. He had little care for the menial disciples, but the cold qi was strong enough to freeze his own elemental force. If it disrupted his circulation in battle and allowed the Ice Lin to escape, the sect leader would never forgive him.

A thunderous roar erupted from the depths of the pool. The air froze, and the temperature plummeted in an instant.

From beneath came the terrified screams of disciples.

"Save me!"

"

Ahhh!

"

The cries were silenced in the next moment. The pool froze solid, ice lances shot upward, and Ice Jiao coiled into the sky. Snowflakes drifted down over Black Dragon Pool.

"All disciples, prepare yourselves!"

Qi Shaoshang's eyes burned with excitement. His body shook, not from fear, but from the thrill of it.

"

Hahaha!

At last, the beast has been forced out!"

He tossed a handful of Fire Marrow Pills into his mouth and swallowed them all. His roar echoed across the pool. "Elder Ying, why are you still standing there? The Ice Lin is still in hibernation. Its power has barely recovered. Now is the time to bind it with the beast-taming silver ring. Once we succeed, the Ice Lin will be my spirit pet!"

"Yes, yes..."

Elder Ying forced a laugh, his face full of flattery.

Just then, a voice floated through the air, cutting across the tension like a blade.

"Not bad. An ice elemental life form, and an Ice Lin at that. Half a step into the demon emperor realm. My luck is truly excellent."

The purple figure appeared at the edge of the pool. The young man landed lightly, speaking as though no one else existed. He marveled at his good fortune as if the Tiejian Sect's presence meant nothing at all.

At his side walked a cloaked girl. Though her face was hidden, her graceful figure hinted at stunning beauty.

The youth in purple snapped his fingers. A small purple snake slithered onto his shoulder, flicking its tongue with a hiss of laughter. "Master, it really is an Ice Lin! I can evolve again!"

Qi Shaoshang nearly spat blood in fury. He roared, "Bastard, who are you? That Ice Lin belongs to me!"

Ling Feng turned his head with a grin, teeth flashing. "

Oh?

Did someone carve your name on its forehead?"

Qi Shaoshang's lips twitched. His eyes blazed. "Nonsense! I spent three days and three nights forcing it out. Of course it's mine!"

"I see." Ling Feng shrugged lightly. "Then thank you for bringing it out for me."

"Bastard!"

Qi Shaoshang almost vomited blood. The shamelessness of this man was beyond belief.

But then he laughed, his voice sharp with malice. "Ridiculous. I nearly let myself be swayed by your nonsense. Who do you think you are? Why should I explain myself to you? Elder Ying, kill him. Anyone who dares covet what is mine must die!"

His killing intent thickened. The Ice Lin was already in his grasp. No one would take it from him.

The brat before him was only in the Spiritual Element Realm. Elder Ying could crush him with a finger.

Elder Ying's eyes narrowed. He shook his head with a grim smile. "Boy, before you think of killing and seizing treasure, you should learn who you are dealing with. Was your brain kicked by a donkey to make you this foolish, daring to act arrogant on my ground?"

He let out a cold laugh. "The feng shui here is not bad. It will serve well as your grave."

"

Oh?

"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "A donkey, is it? Despicable Donkey, someone's looking for you."

A black shadow streaked down from the sky. An enormous backside descended with unstoppable force.

Boom!

The massive rear crashed onto Elder Ying's head, slamming his face deep into the ground.

A foul stench spread instantly, so revolting it nearly made him vomit.

"

Urgh!

What is this filth? The stench will kill me!"

He struggled frantically, but pinned beneath Despicable Donkey's buttocks, he could not move.

"Fool. To have this divine beast sit on your face is a blessing earned over lifetimes. Yet you dare call my divine buttocks foul? I will reward you properly!"

Boom!

A deafening fart blasted out. Black smoke curled into the air. The stench was so unbearable that even Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan frowned.

As for Elder Ying, he vomited on the spot and fainted.

This was no spirit beast. It was a living weapon of war!

Ling Feng's mouth twitched. Despicable Donkey's shamelessness truly knew no bounds.

Yet its power to terrify was undeniable.

Elder Ying was a high-tier king-level expert. Without Despicable Donkey, bringing him down would have cost both Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan a great deal of effort.
