Chapter 106: The Elder's Fury

Zhang Yi grinned, revealing his stark white teeth, looking just like a beast choosing someone to devour.

"No... don't..." the Spotted Tiger struggled desperately, but it was completely to no avail.

With a crack, Zhang Yi bit off the Spotted Tiger's neck in one gulp, and fresh blood gushed out, splashing all over his face.

"Mm... the taste isn't bad!"

Zhang Yi licked the blood from his lips with a look of satisfaction on his face.

This scene left the Red Flame Tiger dumbfounded; he never imagined that Zhang Yi would actually eat the Spotted Tiger right in front of him!

"You... you're crazy!"

The Red Flame Tiger pointed at Zhang Yi and roared.

"Crazy? No, no, no, I'm just hungry."

As Zhang Yi spoke, he took large bites of the Spotted Tiger's corpse; the blood-drenched scene made the Red Flame Tiger feel a wave of nausea.

The Red Flame Tiger stared blankly at Zhang Yi, as if seeing him for the first time.

"You... you brat... you're truly ruthless!"

He said stutteringly, his tone carrying a trace of fear, and a trace of... admiration?

Zhang Yi wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled indifferently.

"Can't help it, I was hungry. Besides, this Spotted Tiger wasn't anything good anyway; it deserved to die."

As he spoke, he rubbed his belly again.

The Red Flame Tiger subconsciously took a few steps back; he felt as if he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

This brat, clearly inferior to him in strength, dared to eat the Spotted Tiger right in front of him; this courage and ruthlessness made him feel a chill.

"Aren't... aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" the Red Flame Tiger roared, his bark worse than his bite.

Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile. "You kill me? Are you sure you can beat me?"

The Red Flame Tiger was instantly rendered speechless; although he said it, he had no confidence in his heart.

This brat's speed and reactions were far beyond his imagination, and that strange movement technique made him impossible to fathom; if they really fought, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious.

Zhang Yi caused a huge stir in the Lingfu territory, and this commotion quickly spread to every corner of the Demon Saint Mansion.

A small demon responsible for patrolling, who had been swinging its tail leisurely and humming a little tune, suddenly felt a strong surge of Demon Qi and shuddered all over in fright, causing the palm-leaf fan in its hand to drop to the ground.

It rubbed its eyes and looked toward the scene in disbelief, only to see Demon Qi soaring into the sky and dust flying everywhere.

"Oh no! Something big has happened!"

The small demon exclaimed and hurriedly took out a Chuansun Fu to report the news to its superiors.

The news spread through the entire Demon Saint Mansion as if it had grown wings.

"Have you heard? It seems something happened over at the Chu Ji Lingfu!"

"What? Really? Don't tell me some blind fool is causing trouble again?"

"Who knows, let's go take a look!"

The Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion put down their tasks one after another and rushed toward the scene.

Some flew on swords, some rode auspicious clouds, and some even transformed directly into their true forms, rushing toward the main hall of the Demon Saint Mansion at top speed.

"It's bad, something big has happened!"

A Great Demon shouted while running.

"Some Demon Beasts are fighting over there!"

A winged hawk demon swooped down from the sky, its tone anxious.

Soon, this matter alarmed the Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion.

Inside the main hall of the Demon Saint Mansion, the Elder sat upright, listening to the subordinates' reports, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

"What is going on? Explain in detail!" the Elder barked, scaring the Great Demons below so much they dared not breathe.

"Reporting to the Elder, it is the Wangri Bird... at the entrance of the Chu Ji Lingfu... who ate a Spotted Tiger..."

A Great Demon replied tremblingly.

"What?! The Wangri Bird has gone mad?!"

The Elder was shocked upon hearing this, and the teacup in his hand nearly fell to the ground. "Does he not know the rules of our Demon Saint Mansion? During the period of the trials, on the grounds of my Demon Saint Mansion, private fighting and cannibalism are not allowed unless it is in the Arena!"

"This... this..." the Great Demon trembled with fear, not daring to say another word.

"Let's go! I, the Elder, will go see for myself!"

The Elder stood up in a rage and led a large group of Great Demons toward the Chu Ji Lingfu in a grand procession.

Before leaving, a Great Demon gathered his courage, stepped forward, and asked cautiously: "Elder, don't you usually not leave the house? If you go out now, what if those Demon Beasts see you and start discussing that time you were hit in the face by bird droppings?"

The Elder was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made him even more furious; he roared, "There's no time for that now, shut your mouth!"

The Elder stormed out of the main hall, his wide sleeves whipping up a gust of wind that sent the small demons standing guard on both sides reeling.

The Great Demons behind him followed closely, each with a solemn expression, fearing they might accidentally trigger his bad temper.

They had experienced this old guy's temper before; when he got angry, he didn't recognize anyone, and regardless of who you were, he would give you a good scolding first.

The group marched toward the Chu Ji Lingfu, creating quite a spectacle.

As the Elder walked, he kept cursing, "That damn Wangri Bird, does he really think our Demon Saint Mansion is a vegetable market? Coming and going as he pleases, causing trouble whenever he wants! This time I must teach him a lesson!"

After walking about half the distance, the Elder suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, the surrounding Great Demons also stopped, not daring to breathe, fearing they might disturb the Elder's train of thought.

After a long while, the Elder suddenly slapped his thigh and roared: "That's not right! How could that Wangri Bird be living inside our Chu Ji Lingfu? What on earth is going on here!"

His shout scared the surrounding Great Demons out of their wits; their faces turned pale, looking even worse than if they had seen a ghost.

They looked at one another, none daring to be the first to speak.

"Speak! What on earth is going on!"

The Elder's fury erupted once again, his eyes bulging like copper bells, wishing he could swallow these Great Demons alive.

Finally.

A Great Demon with a slightly larger amount of courage stood out, trembling.

Immediately, he stammered, "Re... reporting to the Elder, it was... it was one of the managers at our Demon Saint Mansion who said... said to give them a Lingfu to stay in for a few days, so that it would... would also save them from coming out and causing trouble..."

"Causing trouble? Now they've caused an even bigger problem!"

The Elder was so angry he blew his beard and stared, wishing he could slap this idiot to death, "You bunch of rice buckets, is your brain filled with bean dregs? You actually made an exception to let those fellows stay in our Lingfu, and even had the nerve to call it 'saving them from coming out and causing trouble'! Now look, they ate a spotted tiger right under your noses, what kind of mess is this!"

Another Great Demon also gathered his courage to add, "But... but Elder, we didn't expect... that this kid would be so disrespectful of the rules..."

Several Great Demons were scared pale, each one lowering their heads, not daring to make a sound.

They all knew in their hearts that they could not shirk the blame for this incident.
