Chapter 534: The Lin Demon Clan's Chief, Hai Yunji!

The Lin Demon Clan's grounds.

Ling Feng sat cross-legged on the bed made from polished rocks, unaware of how much time had passed, when a knocking sound came from outside the door. It was Hai Lingxiang, inviting Ling Feng to a welcoming banquet held by the Lin Demon Clan's chief and elders in his honor.

As a guest from the higher echelon of the demon race, with the royal bloodline of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan, they naturally could not afford to neglect him.

"Lord Long Fei, have you rested well?" Hai Lingxiang asked respectfully from outside the door after gently knocking.

Ling Feng stood up and responded loudly, "Please come in."

Hai Lingxiang then entered, walked gracefully to Ling Feng's bedside, and said softly, "My mother has asked me to invite you to the welcoming banquet of our Lin Demon Clan."

Ling Feng touched his nose. Ever since he arrived at the Lin Demon Clan, he had hardly seen any male Lin demons. Now, it seemed even the tribe chief was a woman.

It appeared that the Lin Demon Clan was a matriarchal society.

"Very well," Ling Feng nodded slightly. "I should pay my respects to the chief of the Lin Demon Clan."

"Mhmm." Hai Lingxiang bit her lip and continued, "I have also informed my mother about your conflict with the Minotaur Clan."

"If this matter causes trouble for your Lin Demon Clan, I can leave after the banquet," Ling Feng said calmly, as he wasn't particularly attached to staying with the Lin Demon Clan.

"No, no," Hai Lingxiang hurriedly replied. "Mother said you need not worry about it. The Minotaurs wouldn't dare cause trouble on our grounds."

Hai Lingxiang smiled warmly, unintentionally moving closer to Ling Feng.

A pleasant fragrance wafted over, but Ling Feng subtly stepped back a few steps to maintain a distance from her.

Hai Lingxiang lightly pressed her red lips together, somewhat puzzled by Ling Feng's evasion, but still continued gently, "Although our Lin Demon Clan's combat power isn't strong, we have extensive connections. Many higher-bloodline clans, such as the Dragonblood Python Clan and the Golden Lion Clan, are allied with us. The Minotaurs wouldn't dare offend these powerful demon clans by attacking us.

"It's a pity that the main territory of your Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan is in the northern demon domain. Otherwise, just the name of your clan would be enough to intimidate the Minotaurs into not daring to touch you."

Ling Feng touched his nose, thinking to himself: It's fortunate that the main power of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan isn't in the southern demon domain, or else my cover might be blown!

"Alright, let's head to the main hall. Mother and the others have been waiting for a while," Hai Lingxiang said slowly, biting her lip.

Under Hai Lingxiang's guidance, Ling Feng quickly arrived at a grand hall. The high-ranking members of the Lin Demon Clan evidently valued the visit of this young talent from the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan and hoped to forge a strong friendship with him.

And the best way to do so was naturally through marriage alliances.

Just as Hai Lingxiang was about to lead Ling Feng into the hall, the water above them suddenly shook, causing the entire underwater palace to tremble violently.

In an instant, a thunderous roar erupted from above, shaking the entire palace of the Lin Demon Clan.

"Who is Long Fei? Come out!!!"

The roaring demon was none other than the father of Kuang Niu, the chief of the Minotaur Clan, Niu Bi.

This Minotaur, wielding a copper-ringed war sword, floated furiously above the lake of the Lin Demon Clan. On the shore of the vast lake, a large group of Minotaur warriors had gathered.

Their aura was fierce and murderous!

A half-step demon emperor, six demon kings, and over a hundred Minotaur warriors surrounded the lake of the Lin Demon Clan!

Niu Bi swung his Singularity Sword, which, due to his demonic essence, transformed into a giant blade hundreds of feet long, churned the lake, caused huge waves, and made the underwater palace shake continuously.

Kuang Niu, whose horn had been broken by Ling Feng, hid behind the six demon king elders while clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. "Long Fei, no one can save you today!"

"Who is Long Fei!? Come out!"

Niu Bi roared into the sky once again, his voice booming like thunder. It was clearly heard by every member of the Lin Demon Clan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Massive waves erupted continuously on the lake's surface, creating an apocalyptic scene.

Hearing the enraged roar, the hair on Ling Feng's back stood on end, and an intense sense of unease surged through him; this demon was beyond his ability to contend with!

Boom!

In the next moment, Niu Bi slashed wildly with his blade, splitting the entire lake in half. The blade qi crisscrossed, nearly slicing through the ground beneath the lake.

"Outrageous!"

"Impudent!"

Within the grand hall of the Lin Demon Clan, several figures simultaneously intervened, neutralizing the blade qi from Niu Bi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several elders of the Lin Demon Clan soared into the sky and surrounded Niu Bi from all sides, their expressions dark with anger.

"Niu Bi, you are being reckless!"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a gown adorned with birds and phoenixes ascended into the sky, confronting Niu Bi from a distance.

The woman had a graceful figure and an ageless beauty. She looked as youthful and stunning as Hai Lingxiang, yet exuded a regal elegance that Hai Lingxiang lacked.

Every glance and movement of hers radiated nobility, captivating even the furious Niu Bi for a brief moment.

"Chief Yunji, hand over Long Fei, and we Minotaurs will leave immediately!"

Niu Bi roared, the sacred Singularity Sword in his hand glowing with a cold light.

"Long Fei is a guest of our Lin Demon Clan. As long as he remains in our clan's territory, you are not to harm him in the slightest!"

Hai Yunji's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, her every frown and smile exuding an irresistible allure.

Ling Feng observed closely and noticed that beneath Chief Hai Yunji's gown was an exceptionally long fishtail that pulsed with demonic essence, revealing her immense power as the chief of the Lin Demon Clan. [1]

This was the battle form of the Lin Demon Clan. Although they had long been able to transform into semi-human, semi-demonic forms, they reverted to their original forms in all-out combat to unleash their full strength.

"Those minotaurs arrived so quickly," Ling Feng muttered softly.

"The Minotaurs are one of the most vengeful clans among the demons. This is especially true since you broke Kuang Niu's horn. To the proud Minotaurs, their horns are even more important than their lives," Hai Lingxiang whispered into Ling Feng's ear.

"I see." Ling Feng squinted, shook his head, and sighed softly. "In the end, I've dragged you all into this mess."
