Chapter 1470: Chapter 1468: Reconciliation
Lion Roar looked at Ling Feng suspiciously, "Are you also a Dragon Envoy?"
Ling Feng said blandly, "I donât know what the Dragon Envoy you mentioned is, but although I am not a Dragon Envoy, I am a member of the Dragon Clan, and I can tell you, the Dragon Lady is actually not in Bear Fortress."
"You, a dignified Dragon Clan member, are actually colluding with the people of Bear Fortress?" Lion Roarâs expression changed, and he said angrily.
Ling Feng said coldly, "If I were colluding with the people of Bear Fortress, do you think I would be speaking calmly with you like this now? If you still want to rescue the Dragon Lady, then you should tell me everything exactly as it happened, otherwise, youâll only be collecting the Dragon Ladyâs corpse!"
At this moment, Ling Feng was enveloped in Dragon Qi, and a trembling from the depths of the soul emerged in Lion Roarâs heart. He looked at Ling Fengâs serious demeanor, which didnât seem false, so he said in a deep voice, "This matter has to be spoken of starting from a month ago!"
"A month ago, an injured Dragon Lady came to our Beastman Tribe, claiming to be a Dragon Envoy. She was attacked by some unknown forces on the way. Since we Beastmen are part of the Demon Race, we carefully took care of the Dragon Lady. Half a month later, the wounds on the Dragon Lady improved, and she made contact with the Dragon Clan!"
"Later, the Dragon Lady used a secret technique, and we connected with the Dragon Clan." Lion Roar said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Clan is the Royal Family of our Demon Race. All the tribes of us Beastmen were very excited because this meant our Beastman Tribe would rise again!"
"But... things changed ten days ago. On the way to the Werewolf Tribe, the Dragon Lady was attacked. Aside from the Dragon Lady, nearly everyone else was killed. According to the descriptions from the survivors, it was Xiong Tian from Bear Fortress who attacked the Dragon Lady!"
After Lion Roarâs account, Ling Feng also understood the whole story. Pressured by the Dragon Clan, the Beastman Tribe had no choice but to unite and pressure Bear Fortress.
Ling Feng furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "Donât you have any doubts? On your Beastman territory, how did people from Bear Fortress suddenly appear? And how did they attack the Dragon Ladyâs team? Is there a traitor among your people notifying Bear Fortress?"
"Impossible, there can be no traitors among us Beastmen!" Lion Roar shouted sternly, "We Beastmen are different from humans, we are all..."
"No need to be so angry, Senior!" Ling Feng interrupted Lion Roar, saying, "Iâm just pointing out a possibility; donât you have any suspicions?"
Lion Roarâs expression was a bit uncertain, "But the Dragon Lady was captured by the Xiong family; we... must bring the Dragon Lady back, otherwise, we canât withstand the fury of the Dragon Clan!"
Ling Feng chuckled lightly, "Senior, you can leave this matter to me. I have infiltrated the Xiong family. I will investigate within Bear Fortress, and if I find the Dragon Lady, I will naturally rescue her!"
"But..." Lion Roar seemed a bit troubled.
Ling Feng said blandly, "Senior, the Xiong family also has a secluded elder who is an Azure Sky Realm expert, and with the stronghold of Bear Fortress, can you Beastmen really breach Bear Fortress? Even if you can breach Bear Fortress, have you considered how many people you would lose?"
Lion Roar sighed slightly. They hadnât expected Bear Fortress to be so strong, and the members of the Xiong family are so troublesome!
"So now, the only solution is for you to retreat your forces first, while I operate secretly!" Ling Feng said blandly.
"Since this young friend has said so, we will follow his advice. When can we expect news from you, young friend?" Lion Roar couldnât help but ask.
"At most three days, at least two days!" Ling Feng said blandly, "When the time comes, I will visit your Lion Tribe personally, and at that time, I have other important matters to discuss!"
Lion Roar nodded, "Alright, since young friend has promised, weâll do as you say and retreat the forces first! I will be waiting in the Lion Tribe for your arrival. How should I address you?"
Ling Feng bowed slightly, "Senior can call me Ling Feng."
Lion Roar drank the tea in his hand, "Then I shall take my leave."
...
"Still no news from Mr. Feng?" In Bear Fortress, Xiong Shi was pacing anxiously.
"Father, calm down, I believe Mr. Feng will be alright!" Xiong Yan consoled beside him.
"How can I not be worried?" Xiong Shi waved his hand and said, "If something happens to Mr. Feng, how will we explain to Mr. Bruce? Moreover, in the Imperial Capital, Mr. Fengâs power is not weak..."
At this point, Xiong Tian ran in from outside, shouting as he ran, "Father, good news, good news!"
Xiong Shi turned his head in surprise and said, "What happened? Found Mr. Feng?"
"No... no, havenât found Mr. Feng, but... but the Beastman Tribe has retreated!" Xiong Tian said breathlessly.
Xiong Shi snorted coldly, "Right now my main concern is Mr. Fengâs safety, mere Beastmen are insignificant!"
"Father, youâre worrying too much!" Xiong Yan laughed and said, "Since the Beastman Tribe has retreated, it means the battle between Mr. Feng and the Azure Sky Realm expert has concluded."
Xiong Shiâs eyes revealed an unbelievable glow, "You mean... Mr. Feng won? This... how can it be!"
"Looks like the head of the Xiong family doubts my abilities after all!" At this moment, Ling Fengâs voice was heard.
Everyone looked up to see Ling Fengâs figure appear before them.
"Mr. Feng... are you alright?" Xiong Shi examined Ling Feng, finding him without a scratch, and couldnât help but ask, "Your battle with Lion Roar earlier..."
Ling Feng smiled modestly, "Mission accomplished without disgrace, a slight victory, nothing worth mentioning!"
Hiss! Everyone present, except Xiong Yan, couldnât help but gasp, especially Xiong Tian, who felt an extreme fear at the possibility that if Mr. Feng had been serious at that time... he might really have died on the spot!
"Mr. Fengâs tactics... are truly breathtaking!" Xiong Shiâs gaze toward Ling Feng had changed.
If previously he was afraid due to Ling Fengâs "identity," now Ling Feng has completely conquered Xiong Shi with his own strength.
Ling Feng waved his hand and said, "Although I won slightly, the opponent wasnât seriously injured, and they only retreated temporarily. If we canât hand over the Dragon Lady, they will definitely come back!"
Speaking up to this point, Ling Feng looked at Xiong Shi with a profound meaning and said, "Head of the Xiong family, in the current situation, do you still intend to keep secrets?"
