Chapter 1635: Chapter 1633: Traitor?
The Third Elder furrowed his brows, "Lord Baili, isnāt this making things difficult for us? That indeed is a traitor of our Black Dragon Clan. Where am I supposed to find him for you now? Besides, weāve been neighbors for so many years, do we not even have that bit of trust?"
After a pause, the Third Elder continued sincerely, "How about this, if any of the Cave Dwellers are injured, our Black Dragon Clan will fully take responsibility and provide appropriate compensation. How does that sound?"
Baili scoffed and said, "Do you think weāre here to extort you? Ridiculous. We Cave Dwellers lack nothing and certainly donāt need your compensation. Iāve already said, we only want the person who trespassed into our Illusory Demon Forest!"
The Third Elder gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, but you need to give me some time. After all, that person is also someone we need to capture. Even if you hadnāt mentioned it, we would have to apprehend him ourselves."
"Arenāt you deceiving me?" Baili squinted his eyes and said, "Iām telling you, if youāre deceiving me, I wonāt easily let you off!"
"Rest assured, our Black Dragon Clan always honors its promises!" the Third Elder declared, patting his chest.
"Humph, honors promises? I donāt trust the credibility of your Black Dragon Clan!" Baili held up three fingers, "Three days. Iāll give you only three days. If you havenāt handed the person over in those three days, weāll have no choice but to search ourselves!"
After throwing down those words, Baili shouted, "Weāre leaving. Weāll return in three days!"
The Cave Dwellers gradually dispersed, but the Third Elderās brows furrowed tightly. Three days was not enough time, but he could also see that it was getting harder to fool the Cave Dwellers.
"What bad luck, with only three days, we can only hope the Clan Leader returns to take charge of the situation!" the Third Elder sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
After informing the Black Dragon Clan Leader of the situation, the Third Elder simultaneously dispatched experts from the Black Dragon Clan to search for Ao Zhong and Ao Yun, but little did he know, they were all in Ling Fengās Sky Spirit Stone abode. Unless an expert of the Immortal Realm like the Demon King was involved, no one else could possibly detect them!
"Three daysā time? Seems like we can accomplish something with that!" Ling Feng mused, stroking his chin, "Senior Gui Hao, what do you think will happen if, during these three days, experts from the Black Dragon Clan attacked the Cave Dwellersā army?"
"The Cave Dwellers would explode with anger. Their temper is already quite volatile!" Gui Hao shrugged, "Youāre quite the cunning one. Arenāt you afraid of being recognized and then captured?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Isnāt that why Iām counting on you, Senior Gui Hao? Without your protection, how would I dare come up with such a plan?"
"But to enrage the Cave Dwellers, first requires the participation of people from the Black Dragon Clan. Besides, you only have two Dragon Clansmen now; how could you make the Cave Dwellers believe you?"
"This is the time to test the loyalty of those three-tenths of Black Dragon Clan members!" Ling Feng muttered to himself.

When Dragon Soul Ao Zhong heard of Ling Fengās plan, he was immediately excited, "Your plan is excellent, my lord. Leave the task of contacting the Black Dragon Clan to me. Once the Cave Dwellers are provoked, it will weaken the Clan Leaderās forces, which will be greatly beneficial for your takeover of the Black Dragon Clan!"
Ling Feng focused intently on Ao Zhong, "Senior Ao Zhong, if this plan goes smoothly, it could incite a war between the Black Dragon Clan and the Cave Dwellers, and many from the Black Dragon Clan will likely be sacrificed. Are you prepared for that?"
Ao Zhong nodded, "My lord, I understand your point, but I am fully aware that be it an internal or external conflict, battles donāt come without casualties. If the Clan Leaderās power remains unchecked, they will never heed your orders, and the hope for the Black Dragon Clan to return to the Dragon Realm will be lost!"
"Moreover, this Abyssal Demon Abyss, although a desolate land, is not particularly safe for us of the Black Dragon Clan," Ao Zhong said solemnly, "The Abyssal Court might not want to expend too much energy on the Abyssal Moyuan, but should they truly wish to sweep us away, the Black Dragon Clan would stand no chance!"
"After all, there are experts of the Immortal Realm within the Abyssal Court, and their power, compared to the Black Dragon Clan, is like heaven and earth! The Black Dragon Clan simply cannot withstand them, and itās because the Black Dragon Clan Leader is blinded by desire for power, stubbornly leading the Black Dragon Clan toward destruction! I, Ao Zhong, will never allow him to do this!"
Listening to Ao Zhong, Ling Feng realized there was nothing more he needed to say. He hadnāt expected Ao Zhong to see everything even more clearly than himself.
Ao Zhong, as a former Elder of the Black Dragon Clan, naturally still had his network. Soon, Ao Zhong contacted over a dozen members of the Black Dragon Clan and brought them all in front of Ling Feng.
"Dragon Godās Heir!" Watching over a dozen Black Dragon experts bowing respectfully toward him, Ling Feng did indeed feel quite astonished.
"Great, truly great! With the help of all of you, our plan can be smoothly carried out!" Ling Feng exclaimed, "But from now on, please donāt call me ālordā. My current strength isnāt even on par with yours."
"Then how should we address you?" Ao Zhong asked.
Ao Yun smiled and said, "Just like me, call him Young Master."
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, from now on, call me Young Master. Letās discuss our next plan..."
Midway through speaking, Ling Feng suddenly paused, because he felt his Black Dragon Ring unexpectedly tremble.
Having received the instructions for the use of the Black Dragon Ring from the Dragon God, Ling Feng naturally knew that the tremor of the Black Dragon Ring was due to the presence of someone harboring hidden intentions among the Black Dragons here!
Only those who are unfaithful to the Dragon God would cause the Black Dragon Ring to tremble.
Yet Ling Feng didnāt make any noise about it. Instead, he subtly moved closer to them, and upon approaching an Early Stage Azure Sky Realm Black Dragon expert, the Black Dragon Ring even emitted a buzzing warning in Ling Fengās mind.
"This guy is absolutely a traitor sent to infiltrate our ranks by the enemy!" Ling Feng thought to himself.
"May I know how this senior is addressed?" Ling Feng looked at the pretender and asked with a smile, "Itās a pleasure to meet you. Could you tell me your name?"
"This is Ao Qi, a young and upcoming talent among the Dragon Clan. He is my disciple!" Ao Zhong said with a hint of pride, "Of course, his cultivation speed is no match for Young Masterās!"
Ling Feng nodded, smiling with a hint of sarcasm as he glanced at Ao Qi, then, with a touch of curiosity, said, "Senior Ao Zhong, Iāve always wanted to ask you a question."
