Chapter 1645: Chapter 1643: Establishing Authority
The leaders of the different races were summoned to Black Dragon Mountain. Everyoneās heart was filled with unease. They stood alongside the Black Dragon Clan due to the pressure exerted by them, but now it seems... has the Black Dragon Clan lost?
Otherwise, why did the members of the Black Dragon Clan along the way appear as if they were in mourning, with a heavy and sorrowful atmosphere enveloping the entire Black Dragon Mountain?
"What should we do now? Could it be that the Cave Dwellers will settle scores with us after the autumn?" The Demon Clan Leader asked worriedly.
"Weāll take things as they come, who knows?!" The King of the Dark Wing said indifferently, "Donāt worry so much. The power of our different races is not to be underestimated. Since they want to summon us, that means they need our strength too!"
"The King of the Dark Wing is right, but the Cave Dwellers are known for their fiery temper. We must be cautious later on!"
"Exactly, as long as we unite, even the Cave Dwellers cannot look down on us!"
...
Once everyone had gathered, Ling Feng entered through the door: "Thank you all for waiting, my apologies!"
The experts from different races looked at the young man who entered with a hint of surprise. Especially Kalisha, the leader of the Charm Demon Clan; she could hardly believe her eyes. This man who subdued the Black Dragon Clan was once her captive? How is this possible!
Perhaps having noticed Kalishaās gaze, Ling Feng looked over at her and then smiled, his gaze tinged with a profound meaning.
Kalisha lowered her head awkwardly.
Ling Fengās gaze swept around before he spoke indifferently: "Ladies and gentlemen, I invited you here to announce that the Cave Dwellers and the People of Black Dragon Clan have reconciled. I am now the leader of both parties!"
The crowd couldnāt help but exclaim softly. The power of one Black Dragon Clan was already formidable. With the addition of the Cave Dwellers, even if all these different races combined forces, they wouldnāt stand a chance against those two!

"Some of you may not know me, so let me introduce myself!" Ling Feng said blandly, "My name is Ling Feng. You may address me as Young Master, just as the Black Dragon Clan does! I am the Dragon God Successor, and those who know me also know my other identity, which is the son-in-law of the Demon King!"
The crowd was astonished. The Demon Kingās son-in-law had now become the master of the Black Dragon Clan... Does this mean the Abyssal Court plans to wipe out all different races in the future?
"Donāt worry, everyone. The reason I summoned you is simple. I intend for us to form a new alliance!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Although I am the Demon Kingās son-in-law, I have little to do with the Abyssal Court. My goal is to create a better environment for survival for everyone."
"Young Master! What does this mean?" Kalisha hesitated before asking, "Does it mean the Abyssal Court will still allow us to remain in the Abyssal Demon Abyss?"
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, "Why not? In fact, we have no conflict of interest with the Abyssal Court. The previous battle was initiated solely by the Black Dragon Clan Leader for his selfish reasons. Besides... when the time is right, I will lead everyone back to the Dragon Clan, back to the Dragon Realm!"
"Young Master! We were expelled by the Dragon Clan back then. Do you mean we should return now?" The Demon Clan Leader said through gritted teeth.
Ling Feng looked at him, "Which is more important, the continuation of the race or personal indignation?"
"But..." The Demon Clan Leader was about to say something when the King of the Dark Wing interrupted him.
"Young Master, I want to know, in forming this new alliance, what are the rights of each of our races?"
Ling Feng glanced at the King of the Dark Wing and smiled slightly, "Are you the King of the Dark Wing? You asked a very good question. This alliance will be quite different from the previous one you had with the Black Dragon Clan!"
"For this new alliance, I have only one requirement, and that is for all races to unconditionally obey my commands!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Of course, I will not excessively harm your respective interests. I can promise you an environment of stable survival, fostering the growth of every race!"
"Unconditional obedience to your command! Thatās impossible! We canāt agree to that." A tall Beastman banged on the table and said, "Youāre just a young brat. What gives you the right to order us? Besides, why should we believe you? Itās simply ridiculous!"
However, the words fell, and no one echoed him, leaving him feeling quite embarrassed.
"Have you all lost your tongues? Are you willing to be under this young bratās command? Heās definitely out to make us different races cannon fodder. Iāve seen many like him before!" The Beastman Clan Leader got anxious, "Didnāt we agree to advance and retreat together earlier? Why are you all now..."
"Ahem!" Kalisha coughed, interrupting the Beastman Clan Leaderās words, "Beastman Clan Leader, I think you misunderstood our intentions earlier. We never said we would advance and retreat together. We only said we would strive for the best interests for our respective races. Did you misinterpret that?"
"You all..." The Beastman Clan Leader looked at the crowd in disbelief.
"Beastman Clan Leader, if I remember correctly, your name is Tigus, right?" Ling Feng said calmly.
Tigus said coldly, "Yes, what about it?"
"You may have misunderstood my meaning!" Ling Feng said with a smiling squint, "Iām not here to ask for your opinions but to inform you. If you have any objections to me, then Iāll consider it an act of rebellion. The next moment, the armies of the Black Dragon Clan and Cave Dwellers will surround your Beastman Tribe. What happens then, I canāt guarantee!"
Tigusās face froze. As he looked into Ling Fengās calm expression, overwhelming fear suddenly rose within him. He only saw Ling Fengās Mid Divine Sea Realm cultivation but forgot the powerful forces of the Black Dragon Clan and Cave Dwellers behind him, neither of which he could contend with!
"I... I..." Tigusās lips trembled, and he looked around with pleading eyes.
However, everyone around him averted their gaze, avoiding eye contact. They too were cursing Tigus in their hearts for being all brawn and no brains. So many people didnāt voice opposition because they were considering Ling Fengās powerful backing, werenāt they?
Yet this Tigus just jumped out, courting death!
With a thud, Tigus knelt on the ground, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, and he came to his senses. What was his small Beastman Tribe compared to anything?
"Young Master, I... I was wrong! I was truly wrong!" Tigus looked at Ling Feng with despair, "My mind was clouded with nonsense just now. I deserve to die, I truly deserve to die!"
As he spoke, Tigus slapped himself several times, then shouted, "As long as the Young Master spares me this once, our Beastman Tribe will definitely follow Young Masterās lead. If the Young Master says one, we wonāt say two!"
Looking at Tigus, Ling Feng said, "So, Beastman Clan Leader Tigus agrees with what I just said?"
