Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Demons Besieging the City! (2 more)

"Hehe..."

Despicable Donkey raised a hoof and gently poked Ling Feng on the forehead, pursing its lips and saying, "This magic given to me, named ’Swallowing Flame Technique,’ make good use of your Earth Core Fire. Whether you can become a Swallowing Flame in the future is up to your fate."

Soon, Ling Feng had the mental method of the ’Swallowing Flame Technique’ imprinted in his mind. With that done, he wrapped his hands with Earth Core Fire and began to refine the leftover Earth Fire Essence that Despicable Donkey and Zi Feng had not used.

Indeed, just as described in the ’Swallowing Flame Technique,’ his own Earth Core Fire actually merged with the properties within the Earth Fire Essence, beginning a peculiar transformation.

"What a mystical cultivation technique!"

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched, but he knew he shouldn’t linger, so after taking the remaining Earth Fire Essence into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, he prepared to leave.

"Master!"

It was then that Zi Feng reluctantly jumped up, landed on Ling Feng’s shoulder, and chuckled, "Don’t worry, Master, I mainly absorbed the heat from the Earth Veins just now. I’ve kept all the Earth Fire Essence for you, ready to use whenever you need it!"

"Haha, Zi Feng, you’re the best!"

Ling Feng was touched. Now that’s what you call a good, conscientious Spirit Pet!

Upon hearing Zi Feng had stored a substantial amount of Earth Fire Essence, the eyes of Despicable Donkey immediately started to whirl.

Ling Feng glared fiercely at the creature, saying resentfully, "Despicable Donkey, don’t even think about getting your hooves on the remaining Earth Fire Essence!"

"Hmph, you dare question the integrity of this Divine Beast!" Despicable Donkey shrugged its shoulders indignantly, though it was the one that had absorbed the most Earth Fire Essence this time. With it, after a good period of cultivation, it could restore its strength to Demon Emperor Level.

"Have the nerve to talk about integrity?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "You’re not even human!"

This Despicable Donkey, let alone human integrity, it didn’t even have donkey integrity!

"Hmph, this Divine Beast needs to go into a deep sleep for a while. Brat, unless there’s something really important, you’d better not disturb me. Otherwise, when I wake up, the first thing I’ll do is bite you to death!"

"Understood." Ling Feng nodded slightly, knowing the creature was likely using the Earth Fire Essence to repair its Demon Core. With a wave of his hand, he put Despicable Donkey into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

Counting the time, he would be without the protection of a Demon King for a while, but once Despicable Donkey woke up, he would have an Emperor Level life-saving talisman!

"The time is almost up, yeah, it’s time to go."

After taking all the Earth Fire Essence, Ling Feng returned the way he had come and left the so-called "Medicine Garden Restricted Area."

...

Outside the restricted area’s fence, Wang Tianlin was still waiting.

After a long while, when he saw Ling Feng coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief, his face immediately showing a glint of joy as he greeted Ling Feng excitedly, "Xiao Feng, you’re finally out."

"Yes." Ling Feng nodded and took out a handful of spirit flowers and herbs from his Qiankun Bag, "Senior Wang, these are for you. Take them. As for how to use them, that’s up to you."

"These... these are too precious!"

Wang Tianlin stared wide-eyed at the dozens of high-grade Spirit Grass, realizing that if sold, they could instantly multiply the wealth of Tianlin Commerce several times!

"Just take them."

Ling Feng smiled. After all, he had gained the real significant benefits. If it wasn’t for Wang Tianlin granting him an entry spot, he might not have had such an opportunity. It was only fair to repay the favor.

"Also, I suggest that if you’re going to sell these herbs, try to do so in other cities," Ling Feng said with a light smile.

"Understood, understood."

Wang Tianlin nodded hurriedly, carefully stored the herbs, and then he and Ling Feng made their way back towards the Medicine Garden.

When the two of them left the Medicine Garden, they were under strict time constraints, essentially leaving just on schedule.

After the last of the cultivators had left the Medicine Garden, an Elder from the City Lord Mansion withdrew the Secret Key, closed the garden, and shouted from the high platform, "For your safety, it is best not to enter the Sky Demon Forest in the coming months, or else you will bear the consequences."

After a brief pause, the Elder continued, "Our City Lord Mansion will soon post a notice, putting the city under siege. For the next three months, in Iron Wolf City, one may leave but not enter. Once you leave, do not come back!"

As the Elder’s words settled, a wave of dissatisfied protests burst from the crowd.

"Damn it, what the hell is the City Lord Mansion doing? Three months—who can stay in the Sky Demon Forest for three months? This is clearly a ploy to keep us from leaving!"

"Exactly, if we don’t go out to hunt demons, are we to just sit in the city, eating away our reserves, waiting for death?"

"The City Lord Mansion must provide a reasonable explanation!"

All at once, the crowd was agitated, as most powers within Iron Wolf City relied on the Sky Demon Forest for their livelihood. Without hunting demon beasts, where would they get their cultivation resources? The order from the City Lord Mansion was essentially cutting off their financial means.

With a cold huff, the Elder from the City Lord Mansion shouted, "On the outskirts of the Sky Demon Forest, a Sixth Level Demon Beast has appeared. Are you sure you still want to go out there?"

"Sixth... Sixth level?"

The crowd made a collective "gulp," finding it challenging to swallow their saliva. A Sixth Level Demon Beast was equivalent to a martial artist of the Divine Sea Realm level!

To them, who were mostly still in the Origin Transformation Realm, the Divine Sea Realm was akin to a supremely high deity!

"Demon King Level?"

Ling Feng touched his nose, curious about what developments had taken place in the Southern Border Demon Domain that even Demon King Level experts had suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Sky Demon Forest.

Normally, such high-level demon beasts would only be found deep within the Demon Realm!

Regardless, he had to make his way to the Demon Domain. With the Demon Transformation Elixir and Primordial Spirit Grass, he could easily disguise himself as a member of the Demon Clan and appear openly before those Demon Clan Experts.

"Senior Wang, let’s head back first."

With a preliminary plan in mind, Ling Feng knew it was almost time to set off for the legendary Holy Land of the Demon Clan, "Sky Demon City."

After quickly returning to Tianlin Commerce, Ling Feng immediately went to his room to check his gains.

Besides that heap of various spirit herbs, his greatest gain today was the Earth Fire Essence. Unfortunately, it was of little use for opening his meridians, but if he could advance his Earth Core Fire to Earth Vein True Fire, it would greatly increase his strength.

"Thump thump thump!"

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from the door, "Xiao Feng, something... something big has happened!"

Ling Feng opened his eyes and with a wave of his hand, pulled the door open.

"Senior Wang, what happened?" Ling Feng’s expression turned grave as he saw Wang Tianlin’s breathless state.

"I’ve inquired repeatedly to find out that within the last two days, suddenly a large number of Low-Level Demon Beasts appeared in the Sky Demon Forest, besieging several cities including Iron Wolf City. Lucky for us, we returned a few days early, otherwise, we might not have been able to get back into the city."

"Demons laying siege to the city?" Ling Feng was stunned, "Could it be a beast tide outbreak?"

"No, these demon beasts seem organized, under the strict control of the Demon Clan. The situation has escalated. Not only the City Lord, but even the elders from the Hunter Union have intervened, seemingly negotiating with those people from the Demon Clan."

Wang Tianlin continued worriedly, "The Demon Clan, with much stronger bloodlines than ordinary demon beasts, are typically only found in the depths of the Sky Demon Great Forest. It’s unusual for them to appear on the outskirts of the Sky Demon Forest, which lies at the edge of the Demon Domain."

"Interesting, things are getting more and more interesting," Ling Feng touched his nose again, he had been worrying about how to find the Demon Clan, and now there was a large number of them right outside the city, saving him a lot of trouble!
