"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I risked my life to sneak into the Demon Clan Sacred Land just to seek justice for the late Qiongqi Demon Emperor!"
Ling Feng organized his thoughts slightly and began to speak, revealing how the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor had taken advantage of Qiongqi Demon Emperor’s weakness to launch a sudden treacherous attack, gravely injuring the Qiongqi Demon Emperor, explaining everything in detail.
"Utter nonsense, complete and utter nonsense!"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s face changed dramatically, gritting his teeth as he said, "Your Majesty, I am sworn brothers with Qiongqi Demon Emperor, bound by brotherhood ties. How could I do anything to harm him?"
"Whether it’s nonsense or not, the offspring of Qiongqi Demon Emperor is the best proof!"
Ling Feng summoned Little Qiongqi and exclaid loudly, "If you hadn’t conspired to harm Qiongqi Demon Emperor, then with your brotherly bond and loyalty, why would his orphan be entrusted to , a mber of the Human Clan, instead of you? Qiongqi Demon Emperor, do you still want to deny?"
With the appearance of Little Qiongqi, the situation imdiately tilted in Ling Feng’s favor.
Qiongqi Demon Emperor entrusting his orphan to Ling Feng was already a great sign of trust.
"Ridiculous, it’s utterly ridiculous. You simply took advantage of Elder Qiongqi’s weakness and stole his offspring to make them your demon pet, and now you dare to present them as evidence!"
"Enough, no more words are necessary!"
Though the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor wanted to argue further, he was stopped by the Emperor Dark Dragon on the high platform with a raised hand.
"What a suspenseful drama this has turned out to be!"
Emperor Dark Dragon fixated on Ling Feng, smiling faintly, "Human Clan youth, to go to such lengths for a Qiongqi Demon Emperor you’ve only t a few tis, is quite admirable."
"Your Majesty, you..."
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s expression changed again, as it seed Emperor Dark Dragon had chosen to believe Ling Feng’s words.
"Enough, keep quiet. I will deal with you later!"
Emperor Dark Dragon glanced back at the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, making him shrink his neck in fear, not daring to speak further.
A weight in Ling Feng’s heart finally settled as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said calmly, "Righteousness above all! A true man knows what to do and what not to do. Your Majesty overpraises ."
"No, you do deserve praise, because you knew from the start this mission was certain death."
Emperor Dark Dragon’s gaze turned cold as he said slowly, "I must thank you for allowing to learn the truth, but for , the truth is not that important."
"Wha...what?"
Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"As a general of the Human Clan, you should understand whether a deceased Qiongqi Demon Emperor or a living Silver Wolf Demon Emperor is more valuable to ."
Emperor Dark Dragon paused before continuing, "You’ve shown the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s ambition, and I will be wary of him, but he’s a biting dog I must keep around. Do you get my aning?"
Ling Feng’s expression changed suddenly.
In the end, he was still too young and didn’t understand the so-called imperial reasoning.
Now, Ling Feng truly comprehended that for such powerful figures, justice and truth didn’t trump real benefits.
He needed the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor as his dog, so even if the truth was that the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor plotted against Qiongqi Demon Emperor, he would still keep the dog.
"Human Clan youth, I should thank you, but I must also kill you. If word got out that a Human Clan dared to trespass the Dark Dragon Palace, wouldn’t that diminish the prestige of my Dark Dragon Palace? So, you must die!"
Ling Feng clenched his fist, realizing that in the end, it was because his identity had been exposed. If not for this, at least he could have taken down the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor and escaped unscathed.
But as a mber of the Human Clan being exposed, it was almost impossible for him to leave alive.
Perhaps the worries of the past few days were all due to this mont.
He was about to face the greatest crisis of his life!
Nonetheless, Ling Feng was never a person who accepted fate. Even if it was the Demon Emperor opposing him, he wouldn’t be easily killed!
"You seem unwilling to accept this?"
Emperor Dark Dragon smiled, eyeing Ling Feng, "Or do you think you have a chance to escape?"
"Before the Demon Emperor, even if unwilling, what can I do?"
Ling Feng sneered, gritting his teeth, "I couldn’t have imagined that the noble Demon Emperor would have such narrow-mindedness."
"There’s no need to provoke with a challenge."
Emperor Dark Dragon smiled faintly and continued, "Killing you like this would make you unwilling, no doubt. So, as a reward for revealing the truth to , I’ll give you a chance, a chance to slay the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, you..."
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor hurriedly knelt and kowtowed for rcy, "Your Majesty, I have no ill intentions towards you!"
"A dignified Demon Emperor having less courage than a Human Clan youth!"
Emperor Dark Dragon snorted coldly and with a wave of his big hand, knocked the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor down to face Ling Feng.
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor found his Demon Core suppressed by Demon Essence, and his cultivation was sealed at the Demon King level.
"Human Clan youth, I heard you have the ability to suppress a mid-level Demon King, so I shall seal the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s cultivation at the King-level. If you can kill him within an hour, I might consider sparing you. If not, you should at least die without regrets."
"Fine!"
Ling Feng agreed without a second thought.
Not agreeing would lead only to death; agreeing at least offered a fighting chance.
"Good, straightforward enough!"
Emperor Dark Dragon laughed aloud and looked at the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, "And you, Silver Wolf?"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor clenched his fist, coldly saying, "Your Majesty, I only have one question: may I use lethal force during the competition?"
"Of course, if he can kill you, naturally you can kill him."
Emperor Dark Dragon tapped his Dragon Chair lightly, speaking indifferently, "Human Clan youth, if you wish to seize this opportunity for survival, you must kill Silver Wolf within an hour, or even a draw would result in your death."
"There won’t be a draw!"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s eyes glinted with blood light. Even with his cultivation sealed at the King-level, he was still a Peak Demon Emperor!
Even if Ling Feng was extraordinary, killing him would be just as easy as crushing an ant.
"Little brat, within an hour, I’ll tornt you to death! I’ll avenge my son!"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s voice seed to erge from the Netherworld Hell, containing a penetrating coldness.
"Heh, if I could turn your son into a fool, today I can help you turn into a dead wolf!"
Ling Feng was equally unwilling to show weakness. If the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor was at Peak Demon Emperor level, he wouldn’t dare to fight, but now, with his cultivation sealed at the King-level.
Even if it’s tough, he might still have a chance to kill him.
"Seems like you’re both ready."
Emperor Dark Dragon smiled faintly, waving his hand to light an incense stick in the three-legged cauldron in front of the grand hall, speaking softly, "Before this incense burns out, let’s hope you can decide the winner!"
