Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Iron Wolf City! (4 more)

”Phew...”

Ling Feng let out a breath, for using a move like Kunlun Prison Breaking took a significant toll on him as well.

At that moment, Wang Tianlin quickly approached, bringing with him immense gratitude and awe, bowing deeply, ”Xiao Feng, we truly relied on you this time. From now on, should Xiao Feng issue any command, we at the Tianlin Commerce, will go through fire and water without hesitation.”

”No need to be so courteous,” Ling Feng smiled, ”It was but a little effort, Senior Wang. We shouldn’t stay here long; let’s hurry on our way and get back to Iron Wolf City as soon as possible.”

”Mm.” Wang Tianlin nodded vigorously and immediately ordered the continuation of their journey.

Wang Caiwei followed within the crowd, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Feng’s retreating figure, so much so that she seemed to be lost in a trance.

Since time immemorial, beauty has loved heroes. Ling Feng had saved her twice in a row, causing her heart, still that of a young girl’s, to completely surrender to him. From an initial dislike to reverence, and now, she only wished to nestle in Ling Feng’s arms as she had the night before.

That feeling of warmth, she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Noticing his daughter’s expression, Wang Tianlin couldn’t help but sigh internally. Given Ling Feng’s excellence, his daughter was hardly a match for him.

Ling Feng was destined to be a Divine Dragon soaring to the Nine Heavens, while his daughter was merely a flower glimpsed occasionally during the dragon’s journeys throughout the world.

Everyone deliberately quickened their pace, and as dusk fell, the Tianlin Commerce caravan finally made a successful return to Iron Wolf City.

Iron Wolf City was not considered large, but it was quite bustling. Stores of all kinds were to be found, the streets were noisy, and it was bustling to a degree not the slightest bit inferior to Hanwu County. Additionally, the general level of cultivation among martial artists was much higher than that of Hanwu County.

After all, martial artists here faced the constant threat of demon beasts; those too weak simply couldn’t survive in such a place.

”Xiao Feng, since you have no other place to stay in Iron Wolf City, why not temporarily reside at our Tianlin Commerce?” Wang Tianlin turned back and said to Ling Feng with a smile.

”Yes, Young Master Ling, you’ve saved us so many times; we haven’t properly thanked you yet.” Wang Caiwei’s cheeks flushed with a shy invitation.

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and then nodded. After all, there was no reason to refuse free accommodation.

Seeing Ling Feng agree, Wang Tianlin was overjoyed and led the way even more eagerly. Soon, the group returned to the territory of Tianlin Commerce.

”Senior Wang, Iron Wolf City isn’t large, but it’s quite crowded,” Ling Feng said with a smile. ”The City Lord is too stingy. With so many people, the city should be expanded.”

”Xiao Feng, you might not be aware, but our Iron Wolf City is usually not this crowded. I don’t know what’s going on; it wasn’t like this three months ago. Most of the cultivators in Iron Wolf City are usually out in the forest, hunting demon beasts; they only return to the city once every ten days or half a month. But now, not only have the hunting teams of Iron Wolf City come back, but it seems that even those from the nearby cities have arrived,” Wang Tianlin explained slowly.

”Oh?” Ling Feng touched his nose, ”Has something big happened?”

”I sent some men to investigate this matter previously, and I will inform you immediately once there’s news,” Wang Tianlin added with a smile. ”Xiao Feng, you go rest in the guest room for now, and I will come to call you for dinner later.”

”Mm.” Ling Feng nodded, ”Then, I thank you in advance, Senior Wang.”

Ling Feng didn’t delve further into the question and followed a maid to the guest room specially arranged for him by Wang Tianlin.

It was a separate small courtyard, with a quiet environment, where some child servants and maids were sweeping; overall, the setting was quite pleasant.

He quickly walked back to the bedroom, where Ling Feng first comfortably took a hot bath and changed into clean, comfortable clothes, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder the plan to infiltrate the Demon Clan Sacred Land.

Firstly, his Demon Transformation Elixir had already been prepared, and he only needed to swallow it once he entered the Demon Realm.

The medicinal power of the Demon Transformation Elixir could last for about a month and a half, meaning that he had to successfully infiltrate the Demon Clan Holy Land and obtain the legacy of the Reincarnation Sword Emperor within that time frame.

Otherwise, once the month and a half elapsed, if the Demon Clan exposed him, he faced nothing but a dead end.

Of course, he needed to prepare some other things before this.

This was also why Ling Feng had to make a trip to Iron Wolf City first.

”Bang bang bang!”

Just then, the voice of Wang Tianlin came from outside the door, with a knocking sound that was very urgent, suggesting that something significant had happened.

”Xiao Feng, have you rested yet?”

Ling Feng quickly opened the door, ”Senior Wang, what’s wrong?”

Wang Tianlin grabbed Ling Feng’s arm in a hurry, gasping for breath, and said, ”Quick, follow me.”

Wang Tianlin led Ling Feng out of the small garden and into the great hall of Tianlin Commerce. In the hall, several cultivators with injuries were sighing in sorrow, and on the floor lay three stretchers, each bearing a cultivator—two men and one woman—all displaying skin necrosis and a blackish-purple color.

All three had pained expressions on their faces and seemed to lack even the strength to moan or cry out in pain; they just gasped for air now and then, appearing as if they could die at any moment.

These three were tributes of Tianlin Commerce. They had gone to the Sky Demon Forest for demon hunting, but when they returned, they were in this half-dead state.

Ling Feng’s pupils contracted slightly as he slowly said, ”This is clearly the symptom of being corroded by demon energy, and looking at these injuries, it’s likely that every limb and bone is filled with demon energy, with all the internal organs destroyed—I’m afraid there is no hope to save them.”

Ling Feng sighed lightly. His medical skills were indeed not bad, but they were only capable of saving those still alive; these people were essentially as good as dead, unless someone of Yan Cangtian’s caliber used their Primordial Fire to purge the demon energy from these people and provide them with a sliver of hope.

”The Family Head, we must not go to the Sky Demon Forest anymore!”

One disciple of Tianlin Commerce, wrapped in bandages, wailed sorrowfully, ”In recent months, a terrifying surge of demon energy has suddenly erupted from the Sky Demon Forest, covering even the outskirts of the forest. We are rather fortunate; only Tributor Lee and a few others have inhaled an excessive amount of demon energy. Many brothers from the Commerce went in and could never come out again!”

No wonder the city was overcrowded—it turned out that the hunters who entered the Sky Demon Forest for demon hunting didn’t dare to venture out anymore. Hunting demons could earn a few Crystal Coins, but it wasn’t worth risking their lives.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. The sudden outbreak of demon energy in the Sky Demon Forest was undoubtedly bad news for him.

The Demon Transformation Elixir could allow him to completely alter his aura to that of the Demon Clan for a certain period, but in places where high-level Demon Beings congregated, there would certainly be an extremely dense presence of demon energy.

Such demon energy, in small amounts, had little effect on him, but if he had to stay in the Demon Realm for a long time, living every day under the cover of demon energy, he would definitely need help from some external objects.
