Chapter 1054 - 41: Dispute

"I’ve known Grandma Chu Yun for over eight thousand years. Before she passed away, she entrusted the little princess to my care. Do you think I have the right to decide whether to remove the Demon Emperor’s Holy Embryo from her dantian?" Elder Jin said coldly.

Xue Dingqiu was unfazed by Elder Jin’s statement, and with a fake smile, he said, "Who can prove what you’re saying is true?"

Elder Jin’s face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Do you think I, an old man, would lie? I have some self-respect."

Xie Zichen chuckled oddly and said, "We haven’t accused Elder Jin of lying, but even if what he says is true, as the saying goes, ’the human heart is difficult to fathom.’ Who can guarantee that after we leave, Elder Jin won’t take the Demon Emperor’s Holy Embryo for himself?"

"Xie Zichen, this is the Roc King Clan Land. If you keep speaking so ambiguously, then please leave. Our Roc King Clan Land does not welcome you Three-headed Snakes’ clan!" Elder Jin said angrily.

Xie Zichen’s words had already angered Elder Jin beyond tolerance.

"Why lose your temper, Elder Jin? I merely used it as an example." Xie Zichen said, curling his lips.

"What do you all think?" Elder Jin asked the other powerful figures of the great forces with a grim expression.

Many chose to remain silent, which made Elder Jin’s mood sink slightly. He said painfully, "Do you still remember Emperor Taiching’s kindness to the demon clans? Now you choose silence in response. Are you betraying your conscience? Are you betraying Emperor Taiching?"

Someone responded with a sneer, thinking, what is conscience?

Tangible benefits are what everyone pursues.

"There are still a few clans yet to arrive. Let’s discuss once the remaining clans gather." Princess Xuue Yao approached.

"Greetings, Princess..." Many powerful figures from various demon clans rose and greeted her slightly.

Being both princesses of the demon clan, Little Moon’s status was naturally incomparable to Xuue Yao.

First, Little Moon was too young and hadn’t cultivated yet. Secondly, the lineage behind her, Emperor Taiching’s, has already declined. Finally, there was no protector left by Little Moon’s side.

Xuue Yao, on the other hand, was different. Although the Phoenix Clan was small in number, it never lacked strong individuals in every era. Xuue Yao’s own strength was also unfathomable.

"Gentlemen, please dispense with formalities!" Princess Xuue Yao said.

Xue Dingqiu said with a slightly gloomy expression, "Since the princess has spoken, let’s wait until the other clans arrive to discuss this matter. We shall take our leave first."

The experts from these forces gradually left one after another.

Once everyone had left, Elder Jin said with a grim expression, "It seems they are set on seizing the little princess’s Demon Emperor Holy Embryo."

"The human heart is unfathomable. The major forces are blinded by profit. Since they intend to seize Little Moon’s Demon Emperor Holy Embryo, let us use this against them once," Princess Xuue Yao chuckled coldly.

"What do you mean, Princess?" Elder Jin looked at Princess Xuue Yao.

Princess Xuue Yao smiled slightly and said, "Wait a few days, Elder Jin, and you’ll understand!"

...

After Lin Feng returned, the first thing he did was to see Little Moon.

Little Moon, upon seeing Lin Feng return, had eyes that curved into crescents and quickly ran towards him, throwing her little arms around him.

"Big Brother, where did you go? Little Moon missed Big Brother so much," Little Moon said pitifully.

Lin Feng rubbed Little Moon’s head and said, "Big Brother went to cultivate. Big Brother needs to become strong to protect Little Moon."

"Then can Little Moon also cultivate? Little Moon wants to become strong too because Little Moon wants to protect Big Brother and not let bad people bully him!" Little Moon said innocently.

Lin Feng said, "Of course, Little Moon can cultivate. In a few days, you can find Sister Xuue Yao and ask her to teach you how to cultivate, okay?"

Little Moon nodded heavily.

In the distance, dozens of cultivators flew in, stopping not far away. They pointed and murmured about Little Moon, and many of their gazes bore a coldness.

"Big Brother, Little Moon is scared!"

Although Little Moon was young, she was sensitive to the malice from the surrounding people. This made Little Moon feel afraid.

"Don’t be scared. Big Brother is here." Lin Feng picked up Little Moon and headed toward the garden.

"Stop..." Suddenly, a sneering voice called out.

Lin Feng turned his head to see a young black-robed cultivator stepping forward.

He asked calmly, "What’s the matter?"

"Are you a Human Clan cultivator?" the black-robed cultivator asked.

"I am," Lin Feng replied.

"A Human Clan member sneaking into the Demon Clan Territory... I suspect you’re a spy planted by the Human Clan," the black-robed cultivator sneered.

Lin Feng’s expression suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Long Yuxi flew over from afar, holding in her arms a miniature Three-headed Hellhound the size of a palm. "Xue Donglong, don’t spout nonsense here. The little princess was able to return alive to the Demon Clan Territory, thanks largely to Lin Feng."

The black-robed cultivator named Xue Donglong was a young Heavenly Pride from the Devouring Sky Demon Toad clan, with exceptional strength. This clan held a significant position within the Demon Clan, having produced a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse.

Xue Donglong sneered and said, "Are all the people from Three Mansions of One Sect incompetent? Despite a heavy siege, they allowed him to escape with the little princess? Clearly, there’s something fishy in the middle. Who would believe he isn’t a spy?"

After speaking, Xue Donglong looked at the surrounding demon clan cultivators and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"We don’t believe it."

"This kid is highly suspicious, sneaking into the Demon Clan Territory with unknown intentions."

...

A crowd began to debate noisily.

Lin Feng smirked and mocked, "I was wondering why it smelled so bad here; turns out someone was releasing gas. It’s unbearably stinky!"

"Kid, what did you say?"

A group of demon clan cultivators immediately glared at Lin Feng with eyes blazing like flames of anger.

Especially Xue Donglong, who was born of noble background. In the Demon Clan, the Devouring Sky Demon Toad clan was equivalent to a royal family. Now, hearing Lin Feng’s words, he naturally felt his dignity was challenged.

"Don’t understand human words? Apparently, I was mistaken earlier. It wasn’t a bunch of people farting; it was a pack of dogs," Lin Feng said earnestly.

"Pfft!"

Long Yuxi couldn’t help but laugh, secretly admiring Lin Feng’s skill in sarcasm. Looking at the water-like sullen faces of Xue Donglong and others showed how angry they became.

However, Long Yuxi also worried about Lin Feng because among Xue Donglong and his group were many masters.

Especially Xue Donglong himself, who was a strong expert in the Fifth Layer Heaven of the Creation Realm, and the heritage of the Devouring Sky Demon Toad clan was extremely powerful.

Now that Lin Feng had angered Xue Donglong and the others, there might not be a good outcome for him.
