Chapter 545: The Ambition of the Minotaur Clan!

Jin Zhulong's worries were primarily about the demon kings of the Minotaur Clan making a move against Ling Feng.

However, with the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's token in hand, he would be fine. The token carried a trace of the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's awareness, ensuring that within Heavenly Demon City, anyone who dared to attack Ling Feng would inevitably fall under the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's detection.

Small skirmishes among the younger generation were one thing, but if anyone dared to use their strength to bully the weak, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's spiritual manifestation would directly intervene.

At that point, it wouldn't be just a simple conflict. Even Niu Bi, the chief of the Minotaur Clan, should understand this principle.

With Ling Feng's strength, there was indeed nothing to worry about.

"In that case, I’ll wait until you rescue the Lin Demon Princess and then escort you to the Ancient Cave of Time."

"Mhmm."

Ling Feng nodded and then, along with Yun Shu from the Lin Demon Clan, left the settlement of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao.

The target of Kuang Niu was him. Before he showed up, Hai Lingxiang shouldn't be in any immediate danger.

...

In a secluded area of Heavenly Demon City, deep within a desolate mountain range, lay an abandoned cave.

Deep inside the cave, a young demoness from the Lin Demon Clan was tied to a stone pillar with vines, her eyes filled with terror.

This demoness was none other than Hai Lingxiang.

The other day, after Ling Feng had politely declined the request to become her husband, she had left her clan in low spirits, intending to take a walk and clear her mind.

Unexpectedly, she encountered Kuang Niu on her way. With her strength, she was no match for Kuang Niu, especially with several Spiritual Element Realm Minotaur warriors by his side.

She was quickly captured and brought to this place.

Kuang Niu's hatred for Ling Feng had become deeply ingrained. He kidnapped Hai Lingxiang to take revenge on Ling Feng.

"If Long Fei comes, you might die together and become a pair of tragic lovers. If he doesn't, you'll face a miserable fate!"

Kuang Niu squeezed Hai Lingxiang's beautiful cheeks without a trace of compassion. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred for Ling Feng.

The broken horn on his head would forever make him a laughingstock among the Minotaur Clan, destroying his chances of becoming the next chief.

And all of this was Ling Feng's doing!

"Don't waste your energy. Long Fei... he won't come."

Hai Lingxiang bit her lip, a hint of self-mockery in her eyes. Her beauty that she was proud of had no effect on Ling Feng.

"Hmph, you'd better pray he comes!" Kuang Niu said in a cold voice as he wielded a large sword. "I'll make sure to chop that bastard into pieces!"

"I advise you to release me!" Hai Lingxiang gritted her teeth. "Aren't you afraid of the Lin Demon Clan's revenge?"

"The Lin Demon Clan? What's to be feared about the Lin Demon Clan?"

Kuang Niu gritted his teeth. "A bunch of bitches. You all are nothing but a bunch of playthings!"

"You!" Hai Lingxiang's face turned red with anger. "Aren't you afraid of the Qiongqi Demon Emperor? Don't forget, Long Fei has the demon emperor's token! If you harm him, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor will wipe out your entire clan!"

"Ridiculous!" Kuang Niu laughed wildly. "Do you think the Qiongqi Demon Emperor will remain in power for long? Do you think my father is content in being the head of the imperial guard forever? Hmph, that old fool's days are numbered!"

"H-H-How dare you!?"

Hai Lingxiang's eyes widened in shock. She never expected that Chief Niu Bi of the Minotaur Clan harbored such treacherous ambitions!

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor had just quelled a rebellion and was still recovering his strength. If the Minotaur Clan acted now, it would be a massive blow to the Qiongqi Demon Emperor. Moreover, Niu Bi was on the verge of reaching the demon emperor's level himself.

My god!

Hai Lingxiang's heart surged with waves of terror. What a shocking and rebellious secret she had uncovered!

"You're not far from death, so consider this information a free gift."

Kuang Niu laughed wildly. "No matter what, that Long Fei must die by my hands! He must!"

With that, Kuang Niu roared towards the two Minotaur warriors guarding the cave entrance, "Has Long Fei arrived yet?"

"Not yet..."

The Minotaur warrior replied woodenly.

In fact, this wasn't the first time Kuang Niu had asked this question.

"I've told you, Lord Long Fei will never come."

Hai Lingxiang smiled bitterly.

Why would such a high-ranking person even care about me?

...

"Up ahead is Niulan Mountain, where Kuang Niu is supposed to be. Lord Long Fei, you—"

Yun Shu had led Ling Feng to the entrance of a mountain range and turned to look at him, but Ling Feng interrupted her.

"Alright, you wait here for me."

Ling Feng gestured with his mouth. Yun Shu was too weak; in the upcoming battle, he wouldn't be able to protect her, and she might die in vain.

This time, Ling Feng had no intention of showing mercy. Kuang Niu had provoked him repeatedly, so his patience was wearing thin.

To hell with it, let him die!

Yun Shu bit her lip, knowing she couldn't help much. She nodded and said, "Lord Long Fei, please make sure to rescue the princess."

"I will."

Ling Feng nodded and smiled, and then turned and walked towards the mountain path. As he turned, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

With Boundless Vision activated, Ling Feng could see where Kuang Niu was and also saw Hai Lingxiang tied up inside the cave.

Outside the cave, a group of Minotaur warriors were lying in ambush. They were all demon lord-level.

Moreover, the strongest amongst them was a high-tier demon lord, equivalent to a late stage Spiritual Element Realm cultivator.

This lineup was beyond his ability to handle alone.

"Kuang Niu, you have gone to great lengths to kill me."

Ling Feng sneered. If he rushed in alone, he would surely die. But Kuang Niu didn't know that his Boundless Vision had already seen through everything.

"A direct confrontation would be fatal, but..."

Ling Feng sneered, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Sometimes, defeating a strong opponent doesn't require fists but... poison!

The

Empire's Top Poison Master,

Su Dongling, had given him the

Classic Formula of Ten-thousand Poisons,

which he had never neglected.

With his medical foundation, practicing poison techniques wasn't difficult for Ling Feng.

"After poisoning the minotaurs outside, it’ll just be a matter of slaughter."

Ling Feng sneered, gauged the wind direction, and began preparing a potent poison from the

Classic Formula of Ten-thousand Poisons

called Numbing Breeze.

This poison could be spread by the wind and covered an area of several dozen li. Those affected would find their muscles and bones weakened, unable to exert any strength.

Of course, such a poison was only effective on those below king-tier, and if overly diluted, the effect would last only about fifteen minutes.

But for Ling Feng, fifteen minutes was enough!
