Chapter 599: The Real Old Fox!

"How is it possible that Lay Practitioner Qingling was colluding with Elder Hei Yu?"

"No way! Elder Hei Yu has always hated outsiders the most, so why would he team up with Li Qingling?"

In the grand hall, the clan elders aligned with the grand elder looked at each other in disbelief. Li Qingling had always been under the care of the grand elder and was deeply trusted by him. Who could have imagined that he harbored such ill intentions?

"Unbelievable! Just as Mr. Ling Feng said, you've truly betrayed me!

Cough, cough...

"

The grand elder clutched his chest, glaring furiously at Li Qingling as he coughed violently.

"A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Grand Elder, you've treated me well, but I've repaid you in kind."

Li Qingling folded his arms across his chest and sneered coldly, "If I had added just a little more seasoning to the Spirit Void Creation Pill, you would have long since departed from this world. Alas, in the end, I was too soft-hearted."

"

Bah!

"

"What shamelessness!"

"To betray the grand elder and speak so righteously about it!"

The elders in the hall all began to curse Li Qingling, but he remained indifferent, and even shamelessly smiled. "The victor becomes the king, while the loser becomes the villain. I'm sure that the grand elder won't blame me."

"

Hmph!

" The grand elder snorted angrily, slumping back on his throne. He appeared exhausted, as though he were truly gravely ill and already on the verge of collapse.

Ling Feng watched silently, chuckling to himself. The

grand elder is the real old fox here!

Compared to him, Elder Hei Yu was still too green.

"Tuoba Ce, I'll be taking this man with me!"

Elder Hei Yu, standing with his back to the grand elder, didn't even look back as he spoke in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

"You... You won't succeed!"

The grand elder struggled to stand, but as soon as he rose halfway, he collapsed back down heavily onto the chair while coughing violently.

"Grand Elder!"

The clan elders in the hall were all in a state of panic. Given the grand elder's condition and the toll of his anger, things were looking dire!

"I originally hoped to face you in a fair fight!"

Elder Hei Yu snorted, his gaze locking onto Ling Feng. He said coldly, "Prophecy Child, Tuoba Ce can no longer protect you. If you don't want to suffer, it's best that you come with me quietly!"

"

Oh?

And what if I refuse?" Ling Feng touched his nose, smiling calmly. "From what I can tell, sir, your intentions toward me are far from good!"

"Then you leave me no choice!"

Elder Hei Yu snorted coldly, waving his hand towards Tuoba Yan beside him. He said indifferently, "Yan'er, capture him!"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Yan's red lips parted slightly, and before her words had even finished, a wave of cold air swept over. Ling Feng barely had time to react before a force of extreme cold seemed to envelop him. It felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, the chilling cold seeping into his bones.

Ling Feng's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected this young girl to possess such strength.

However, Ling Feng had long anticipated that Elder Hei Yu might make a move against him. He had already arranged for the despicable donkey to protect him. The icy aura only lasted for a moment before it was forcefully repelled. In the next instant, Tuoba Yan's body trembled, and she staggered back several steps as a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

"

Hehe,

didn't you know that this kid is under the protection of this divine beast?"

The despicable donkey snorted lightly, descending from the sky with great flair. It casually remarked, "Little girl, your lantern isn't very sturdy!"

With that, the despicable donkey tossed a Tianheng Mystic Wheel that had been dismantled beyond recognition onto the ground.

Tuoba Yan's body trembled, and blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth.

The Tianheng Mystic Wheel was connected to her spiritual consciousness. When the despicable donkey destroyed her Tianheng Mystic Wheel, it naturally severely damaged her spiritual consciousness as well.

Seeing Tuoba Yan injured, the elite forces that Elder Hei Yu had brought with him immediately summoned their own Tianheng Mystic Wheels. As the wheels spun, a terrifying aura filled the entire grand hall.

The combined power of the Tianheng Mystic Wheels of the Tiance clan members created an energy field that resembled a joint attack formation.

"A demon emperor!"

A cold gleam flashed in Elder Hei Yu's eyes as he turned to glare at Li Qingling. He roared angrily, "Li Qingling! Your information didn't mention that the Prophecy Child had a demon emperor by his side!"

"Elder Hei Yu, I'm being falsely accused! Who would have thought that the unremarkable black donkey would turn out to be a demon emperor?"

Li Qingling protested repeatedly.

"Unremarkable?" The despicable donkey, looking displeased, snorted, "Your granddaddy divine donkey is dashing and handsome! If you dare speak nonsense again, I'll trample you into a meat pie with one kick!"

Despite his words, the despicable donkey still feared Elder Hei Yu and didn't dare to make a move.

"

Hmph,

even with the addition of a demon emperor, it won't change anything!"

Elder Hei Yu snorted coldly as a dark glow surged around him. Finally, he summoned his own Tianheng Mystic Wheel.

A terrifying aura swept across the hall as black mist spread out. Strange inscriptions floated out of Elder Hei Yu's body, expanding the range of the black mist.

Within the mist, the true qi in one's body seemed to be continuously eroded, and even spiritual consciousness felt heavily restricted.

"

Hahaha...

"

Elder Hei Yu laughed wildly, "I am now unmatched within Wangduan Mountain. Whoever goes against me will die!"

A vast and overwhelming aura erupted, and within the swirling black mist, Elder Hei Yu's form eerily sprouted a pair of black wings. Suspended in midair, he gazed coldly at the despicable donkey like a deity or demon.

"Demon emperor, come and fight!"

Elder Hei Yu controlled his Mystic Wheel with one hand as the spiritual manifestation of a devilish deity appeared behind him. The terrifying pressure made even the despicable donkey, a powerful demon emperor, feel a tremble in his heart.

Whoosh!

Just as Elder Hei Yu, with his imposing demeanor, was looking down on everyone with dominance, a fiery arrow pierced the sky, cutting through the darkness and shattering the black veil in an instant.

Everyone saw a flash before their eyes and realized that everything they had just witnessed—the spiritual manifestation of deities and demons—had been an illusion technique, merely a mirage created by Elder Hei Yu.

"Damn it!"

The despicable donkey waved his hoof in frustration while gritting his teeth. "That cursed illusion technique! How annoying!"

Back in the day, even as a demon ruler, the despicable donkey had been utterly defeated by Great Emperor Tiance, largely because he had almost no resistance to illusion techniques.

However, Ling Feng had just discovered that his Boundless Vision could counteract illusion techniques to a certain extent.

Meanwhile, Elder Hei Yu, having had his illusion technique broken, was furious. He turned around only to see that at some point, the grand elder had risen from his throne. His Tianheng Mystic Wheel floated by his side, and his gaze was sharp and full of vitality. He looked nothing like the frail figure he had been just moments ago.

"No... This is impossible! Tuoba Ce, haven't you already...?" Elder Hei Yu stared at the revitalized grand elder in disbelief, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head. "This can't be real! The Tiance Clan is cursed with short lifespans; it's divine punishment! You should have already exhausted your vitality!"

"Thanks to Mr. Ling's help, I've recovered!" The grand elder's gaze locked onto Elder Hei Yu, yet he still tried to persuade him earnestly. "Hei Yu, stop now, while you still can!"
