After parting ways with Mu Qianxue, Ling Feng went straight to the mission hall under the jurisdiction of the Purple Dragon Temple to take on so tasks that required venturing outside.
After all, if he stayed in the Purple Dragon Temple, neither the Tiger Power Demon King nor the Silver Wolf Young Master Yain Xue would have any opportunity to deal with him.
If he didn’t give them a chance, how could he conveniently turn the tables and eliminate them?
Moreover, since he was visiting the Demon Clan Sacred Land, he had to get so benefits to make the trip worthwhile.
For example, the Blood Crystals unique to the Demon Clan, which are greatly beneficial for Ling Feng’s cultivation of the second stage of the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique, the "Eight Desolate Undying Body."
Recently, Ling Feng has almost exhausted the 300,000 Upper Grade Blood Crystals he received as a triple crown reward in the apprentice selection, so it’s ti to earn more.
Prior to this, Ling Feng had already familiarized himself with the environnt of the Purple Dragon Hall, and shortly after, he arrived at the task hall.
Sweeping his gaze over the task list, Ling Feng chose a task to hunt fierce beasts in the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains.
So-called fierce beasts, in so sense, belong to the Demon category. However, these fierce beasts are not controlled by the Demon Clan and view humans and demons alike as prey, hence the need for the Demon Clan to distinguish between demons and fierce beasts.
Those that can be controlled by the Demon Clan are demons.
Those that cannot be controlled by the Demon Clan are fierce beasts.
Hunting fierce beasts is one of the most common tasks for disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace.
Ling Feng successfully took on the task using his identity token, but when the disciples in the task hall learned that Ling Feng was only a new disciple of the Purple Dragon Hall, they reminded him, "The danger level in Deep Fog and Pale Mountains is extrely high, kid, take care of yourself."
Ling Feng smiled faintly, without explaining anything. After all, the aura he was currently exhibiting seed to be at the Initial Stage Demon Monarch level, a power that ranked at the bottom in the Dark Dragon Palace—entering the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains was basically akin to courting death.
In the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains, there were even super fierce beasts no weaker than the peak Demon King Level, and encountering them had an extrely high chance of death.
...
When Ling Feng arrived at the foot of the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains, he saw many disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace heading to the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains, and many coming out, most of them were ragged and covered in blood—both fierce beasts’ blood and their own and their companions’ blood.
There was no doubt they had experienced fierce battles in the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains.
Ling Feng blended into the crowd, and because his power seed too weak, no one approached him for conversation. After all, when forming teams, people prefer strong partners, and soone like Ling Feng was basically seen as just fodder for death.
Most disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace still found Ling Feng’s face unfamiliar, despite his triple victory in the entry selection.
Undisturbed, Ling Feng was leisurely; roughly seven and a half minutes later, Ling Feng’s figure was swallowed by the vast forest.
This dense forest, besides demon energy, seed also stained with an eerie evil aura, appearing overall as a pitch-black area—not the charred black of magma landform, but a pure deep black akin to Hell’s Demon Soil.
No wonder the demons in this forest would transform into irrational fierce beasts that only knew how to slaughter.
The fierce beasts on the outskirts posed no threat at all to Ling Feng, and after killing many fierce beasts, Ling Feng entered the second area of the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains.
According to the task hall disciples, the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains are divided into five areas: three outer areas, one middle area, and the innermost one core area. There is a thin barrier between each area just to mark the five areas but not to block the disciples’ movents.
The main distinction between each area is the strength of the fierce beasts. Generally, new disciples only operate within the three outer areas.
Ling Feng was now in the depth of the third area of the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains. Ahead almost reached the middle fourth area.
While Ling Feng was scrutinizing the surroundings, the space ahead suddenly rippled like water, and a man who appeared to be at the high-level Demon Monarch level stepped out. Upon opening his eyes, he imdiately spotted Ling Feng, showing a bit of surprise, quickly followed by realization.
Ling Feng glanced at the man, who seed to have just broken through to the high-level Demon Monarch level, with unstable aura, although his transformation was complete. Except for his ears and eyes being slightly different from humans, he seed no different.
His bloodline must be quite impressive.
This young demon had plain looks, with a hint of simple honesty in his eyes. Upon seeing Ling Feng, he grinned and flew beside him, saying with a faint laugh, "Brother, is this your first ti at Deep Fog and Pale Mountains?"
Ling Feng nodded slightly, and asked, "How did you know, senior brother?"
"Hehe, you’re rely at the Initial Stage Demon Monarch yet dare to venture into the third area. If you go further, you’ll soon reach the fourth area."
The young man patted Ling Feng’s shoulder, laughing, "You’re about done here and should turn back. The fourth area is not sowhere you can enter."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."
Ling Feng smiled gratefully at the man, "I’ll train around here and won’t go deeper."
"Hm, although resources are indeed richer in the fourth and fifth areas, the dangers are also doubled. No matter how good the resources, preserving your life is most important!"
The young man expressed.
"Yes, you’re right, senior brother."
Ling Feng kept nodding in agreent.
"Oh, right, junior brother." The young man seed to rember sothing, "Recently, a batch of quite powerful humans have ventured into this part of the Deep Fog and Pale Mountains; you must be careful. Hehe, I almost thought you were human when I first saw you."
"How could I be human?"
Ling Feng touched his nose, smiling awkwardly, "Senior brother, this is our Dark Dragon Palace’s territory; how could there be humans here?"
"I don’t know about that, but they might be disciples of the Human Clan’s Holy Land. Only humans from the Human Clan’s Holy Land would dare so brazenly to intrude on our Demon Clan Sacred Land."
The young demon said with hatred.
Ling Feng puckered his lips, secretly amused: ’Well, maybe not. The junior brother you speak of is actually a human!’
"Alright, senior brother, I understand. I’ll be careful. Thank you, senior brother."
Ling Feng expressed gratitude to the young man once again.
"Hm, I have so urgent matters; I’m leaving now. Take care of yourself."
The young man waved and hurriedly departed.
Once the young man was gone, Ling Feng smiled faintly and directly crossed into the barrier of the fourth area.
