Chapter 205: Demon Shadow's Remnant Soul

Lin Feng opened his Dragon Pupil to scan the surroundings, then suddenly waved his hand to grab, pulling wisps of a remnant soul from the bottom of the large pit.

"People from the Hidden Demon Sect are truly harder to kill one after another," Lin Feng said.

The Demon Shadow, now only a remnant soul, was terrified to the extreme and hurriedly said, "Lin Feng, spare my life! Whatever you want to know, just ask me; I will definitely tell you!"

"So proactive? You make things very difficult for me," Lin Feng laughed.

"I beg you..."

The Demon Shadow no longer had his previous arrogant appearance; he was now as wretched as a stray dog.

"Speak, what is your status within the Hidden Demon Sect?" Lin Feng questioned.

The Demon Shadow dared not hide anything and hurriedly replied, "I am one of the Eight Great Protectors of the Hidden Demon Sect, second only to the Four Great Elders and the Sect Master."

"So you were at the Martial King Initial Stage?" Lin Feng asked again.

The Demon Shadow replied, "That's right, my original cultivation level was Martial King Initial Stage; all eight of us Protectors are at the Martial King Initial Stage."

In every realm, the first, second, and third levels are the Initial Stage, the fourth, fifth, and sixth are the Middle Stage, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth are the Late Stage. Cultivating to the ninth level touches the bottleneck of the next realm, and reaching this bottleneck is the Peak, also called Grand Perfection.

"Then what is the strength of the Four Great Elders of your Hidden Demon Sect?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"The Four Great Elders are all at the Martial King Peak, just one step away from breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm!" the Demon Shadow replied.

"Then what is the strength of your Hidden Demon Sect's Sect Master?" Lin Feng asked.

"It must be a Martial Emperor, but I don't know which stage of Martial Emperor he is at. I guess it's the Late Stage, or perhaps Martial Emperor Peak," the Demon Shadow answered honestly.

"What is your purpose for infiltrating Jinling?" Lin Feng questioned.

The Demon Shadow said bitterly, "This infiltration of Jinling was not just me, but two Protectors."

"One is me, and the other Protector is Mo Hu, but I don't know where he is now."

"I don't know what mission Mo Hu is burdened with, but the task Elder Qiu Tianfeng gave me was to disrupt the situation in Jinling and make it as chaotic as possible."

"It is precisely because of this that I targeted the City Head's son, Ke Feihong, and the Han Family."

"Needless to say, as the person with the highest authority in Jinling, if anything were to happen to him, a massive earthquake would certainly erupt in Jinling. And the Han Family is the number one wealthy family in Jinling; if something happens to them, Jinling will likewise fall into great chaos."

"It just so happened that I mastered the Blood Spirit Array and the Mysterious Yin Blood Spirit Pill, so I wanted to take this opportunity to sacrifice the Han Family to improve my own strength, but I didn't expect you, this unexpected meddler, to appear halfway..."

Speaking of this, a look of deep regret appeared on the Demon Shadow's face, though his eyes looked very unwilling.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "The task given to you by Qiu Tianfeng? So, you are one of Qiu Tianfeng's people?"

"That's right. The Eight Great Protectors work in pairs and take orders from the Four Great Elders. Mo Hu and I are under Elder Qiu Tianfeng," the Demon Shadow said.

Lin Feng immediately said, "In that case, you had a part in the destruction of my Lin Family back then!"

The Demon Shadow's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Lin Feng, destroying your Lin Family was Elder Qiu Tianfeng's idea. I was just following his orders; at most, I was an accomplice, he is the true mastermind! Every debt has its debtor, if you want revenge, go find Elder Qiu Tianfeng, don't come after me!"

"I have my own judgment on who to seek revenge from; continue answering my questions!" Lin Feng said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Lin Feng had always had a question in his heart.

The Hidden Demon Sect Elder Qiu Tianfeng is a Martial King-level expert, and his subordinates are also powerful.

Since that is the case, why was there such a lapse in judgment that they missed me when they wiped out the Lin Family back then?

Could it really be because I am blessed with good fortune and uniquely favored by heaven?

That possibility is too small!

And I have been down the mountain for so long and have made such a big name for myself; the people of the Hidden Demon Sect should have known of my existence long ago.

Since that is the case, why hasn't Qiu Tianfeng appeared to kill me?

Does he think he is not my match, so he is hiding and not daring to show himself?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng asked, "Xue Sha died at my hands, and I am so famous now, why don't you people from the Hidden Demon Sect appear immediately to settle things with me? Are all of you in the Hidden Demon Sect idiots?"

The Demon Shadow sighed, his expression very helpless.

"Actually, I can't figure it out either, but Elder Qiu Tianfeng explicitly stated that without his permission, we cannot take the initiative to attack you, and if we see you, we should retreat if possible."

"Perhaps Elder Qiu Tianfeng is planning something in the dark that involves you, but I don't know what the situation is."

"If you want to know the truth, I advise you to find Elder Qiu Tianfeng; perhaps only he can answer the questions in your heart."

Lin Feng then asked, "Then tell me, where is the headquarters of your Hidden Demon Sect!"

"The headquarters of our Hidden Demon Sect is at..."

Just as the Demon Shadow said this, his remaining remnant soul suddenly began to expand, swelling rapidly like a balloon!

Lin Feng frowned, wanting to use his own True Qi to forcibly suppress it!

But he failed!

In less than a second, the Demon Shadow's remnant soul burst with a bang, turning into countless tiny fragments that vanished into the air, as if it had never appeared.

"Again!"

Lin Feng clenched his fists, his face full of rage.

Xue Sha had also met this end; his remnant soul shattered just as he was about to reveal important information.

Looking at it this way, it must be that Qiu Tianfeng or other Hidden Demon Sect Elders, or even the Sect Master, had placed a self-destruct restriction within the bodies of the Demon Shadow and Xue Sha to prevent them from leaking the core intelligence of the Hidden Demon Sect!

However, even though the Demon Shadow is dead now, the information he revealed was already quite substantial.

Swish, swish, swish!

Figures descended from the sky and landed behind Lin Feng.

It was the Divine Dragon Guard!

Lei Dong walked over, bowed, and asked, "Mr. Lin, have you resolved it?"

"Yes, that Demon Shadow is dead," Lin Feng said.

Lei Dong said with an annoyed look, "Sorry, we arrived a step late again."

"It's fine, even without your assistance, the Demon Shadow was no match for me anyway," Lin Feng waved his hand and said indifferently.

It takes time for Lei Dong to assemble the Divine Dragon Guard, so it is not strange that he arrived a step late; Lin Feng naturally would not take it to heart.

Furthermore, whether Lei Dong and the others came or not had no impact on him.

At this very moment, Lei Dong looked at the scene around him, the expression on his face quite unsightly.

"In the end, the Han Family no longer exists," Lei Dong sighed.

"The Demon Shadow of the Hidden Demon Sect is a Martial King Initial Stage expert, and he has mastered the Blood Spirit Array and the Mysterious Yin Blood Spirit Pill. He set up the Blood Spirit Array here to sacrifice everyone in the Han Family, and he also vainly attempted to use the Primordial Yin Qi within the bodies of Han Yu and seventeen other women possessing Yin Meridians to refine the Mysterious Yin Blood Spirit Pill, hoping to use this opportunity to reach the Martial King Peak."
