Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1077: Chapter 64: Demon Clan’s Sorrow

Lin Feng did not expect the power of the Four Evil Tripods to be so formidable when unleashed.

Huangfu Wujie was a strong figure at the level of an Eternal Giant, yet he was killed in such a manner.

The power of the Four Evil Tripods far exceeds imagination.

This made Lin Feng extremely pleased, it seems that the value of the Four Evil Tripods is far greater than imagined.

Lin Feng dearly wished to continue using the Four Evil Tripods to crash Ying Yutian and the Masked Cultivator to death, but he knew that activating this treasure is too difficult. Ying Yutian and the Masked Cultivator were already on guard, seeking to crash them to death would not be easy.

Contrastively, Lin Feng and Qian Piaoxue would deplete continuously; if too much energy is spent and the Four Evil Tripods cannot be activated, they would face attacks from Ying Yutian and the Masked Cultivator that were like thunderbolts, thus for now retreating is the best strategy.

Lin Feng and Qian Piaoxue activated the Four Evil Tripods to leave swiftly, eventually shaking off Ying Yutian and the Masked Cultivator and returned to the Demon Clan Territory.

The Alliance Army and reinforcements had already returned to the Demon Clan Territory in advance, the army was resting.

Yet within the Demon Clan Territory, a palpable atmosphere of sadness loomed.

”Someone infiltrated the Demon Clan Territory, even reached the Life and Death Mysterious Gate where Roc King was cultivating in seclusion; Roc King’s seclusion was forcefully interrupted, suffering severe backlash...”

Lin Feng saw Long Yuxi, she spoke in such a manner, her expression solemn.

”What? How could this happen?” Lin Feng’s face changed dramatically.

Roc King’s Tao Injury had reached the most critical moment and should not be disturbed by anyone. Now, with Tao Injury backlash, wouldn’t it be certain death?

Lin Feng spoke grimly, ”How could outsiders infiltrate? Is there an internal traitor?”

”Exactly! It was someone from the Golden-devouring Rat Clan who acted as an internal traitor, discreetly opening the entrance when the Roc King Clan Land was relatively empty,” Long Yuxi said.

The Golden-devouring Rat Clan is an offshoot of the Southern State Demon Clan, not particularly powerful.

Additionally, this clan usually acts cautiously, people don’t pay attention to them.

Yet who could have imagined they were long ago bought by the Three Mansions of One Sect?

”What about those who ambushed Roc King?” Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.

”They were all Death Soldiers, with two strong figures at the Eternal Giant Level, namely Gongsun Qing of Upper Heaven Sect and Zhong Zhengzhen of the Zhongzheng Family! They were killed on spot by Roc King, but Roc King also...”

Long Yuxi sighed, sorrowful and dejected.

In the following days, the atmosphere within the Demon Clan Territory was very heavy, Lin Feng didn’t even get the chance to see Elder Jin.

Some Clan Elders of the Demon Clan opened the altar, sacrificial rituals to the Almighty, many demons arrived and kneeled around the altar.

”Roc King is young and promising, upright in character, we plead the Almighty for mercy, not to let Roc King die young!”

An old demon wept tears and blood, leading everyone in prayer, hoping Roc King would be safe.

Lin Feng stood at a distance, looking solemn, unable to forget the peerless elegance of Roc King, nor his kindness and approachability.

Such a close elder, now with his life uncertain, it indeed makes one feel sorrowful.

Bad news spread, Roc King’s Tao Injury could no longer be suppressed, this day Roc King emerged, face pale, visiting many places within the Demon Clan Territory, meeting many people.

Roc King seemed to want one last look at the Roc Clan Territory in his final moments.

Many demons wept, years ago, when the Southern State Demon Clan was heavily oppressed by the Three Mansions of One Sect, it was Roc King who provided refuge for the Southern State Demon Clan.

Thus, many regarded Roc King as a savior, but now, Roc King had reached the end of his life.

”Elder Jin, the Southern State, is no longer a place for our Demon Clan.” Roc King said, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Surrounding demons shed tears.

Elder Jin said, ”I know! Have already started gradual transfers, taking void ships, entering space-time wormholes, heading to Demon State!”

Currently, Demon State remains the most powerful region of demon forces, capable of providing shelter.

The Three Mansions of One Sect, Eight Great Forces have now surrounded the Demon Clan Territory, yet they have not launched large-scale attacks, all because Roc King has not yet passed away.

They fear him.

”Good!” Roc King nodded.

...

”I watched Roc King grow up, this child was modest and courteous from a young age, at only eighteen took on the mission of revitalizing the Roc Clan, didn’t disappoint the clan members, step by step became a peerless powerhouse, yet the heavens begrudge talents, now Roc King is about to pass away, why is heaven so unjust? Good people don’t live long, while the wicked run rampant.”

On the way back, Lin Feng met an old demon, crying out loud, unable to suppress the sorrow in his heart.

Three hundred years ago, the various tribes of the Demon Clan wanted to elect Roc King as Alliance Hierarch, to lead the tribes, hoping to restore ancestral glory, but alas Roc King during his tribulation crossing was plotted against.

Roc King’s life henceforth changed.

At night, Lin Feng went to find Elder Jin, he was alone, sitting in the courtyard, already drunk heavily.

”When I was little, my parents were killed overseas, it was Uncle who arrived in time, saved me, slew those who killed my parents, since then I followed Uncle, he was my only family, now Uncle is leaving me too.”

Elder Jin was very sad.

The Roc Clan only had twenty or so members to begin with, their bloodlines were rather distant, though of the same clan, not immediate relatives.

Ever since his parents died, Roc King was Elder Jin’s only true family.

Lin Feng knew the profound affection between him and Roc King.

Now, Lin Feng did not speak, he sat beside, listening quietly, the loss of a relative is a huge blow to anyone.

Back then Third Uncle Lin Xiong was killed by Dugu Aotian with a palm strike in order to save him.

This incident Lin Feng could never forget, though many years have passed, whenever he thinks of it, Lin Feng’s heart pangs with pain.

Thus, he could understand Elder Jin’s sorrowful emotions at this moment.

Lin Feng couldn’t comfort Elder Jin, he drank with Elder Jin.

They drank till dawn.

Dong dong dong...

At dawn, nine deep, mournful tolls echoed throughout the Demon Clan Territory.

”Could it be?” Lin Feng rose abruptly, his face changed dramatically.

This was the sound of a death knell.

Nine death knells, signified someone had passed away.

”Uncle!”

Elder Jin rushed to where Roc King resided, Lin Feng quickly flew over too.

By the time they arrived, many people had gathered, Lin Feng saw Long Yuxi and some younger ones shedding tears.

They weren’t qualified to enter, only senior figures from various forces could go in to see Roc King one last time.

”Why is it like this? Roc King originally had a chance to heal the Tao Injury, yet now is gone, it’s all because of the Three Mansions of One Sect, if not for them, how would Roc King die so miserably?”

An old demon lamented, devastated.

”Wu wu wu...”

The entire Demon Clan Territory was engulfed in sorrow.

The resplendent and unparalleled life of Roc King, brilliant and brief, just ended like this.
