Chapter 224

Facing the threats of the two Demon Emperors, the old ape straightened his hunched body, his eyes fixed on the two Demon Emperors, like an old general guarding his position, fearless and undaunted.

"Two lords, although I, Old Ape, am advanced in years, I also know what is most important to Taiyao Mountain. This cave dwelling concerns the survival of my clan and must absolutely not be handed over."

The old ape had no intention of backing down.

The Flood Dragon Emperor snorted coldly from the side, and the surrounding air trembled accordingly.

"Old Ape, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you really think that with this Black Feather Peak of yours, you can block our joint efforts?"

The Flood Dragon Emperor no longer pretended at this moment and threatened him nakedly.

The old ape's heart tightened instantly.

"I suddenly have an idea!"

Watching the tense scene before him, Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's eyes lit up, as if he had captured a rare opportunity, and he secretly transmitted his voice.

The two immediately looked over, their eyes filled with doubt.

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo said: "According to the investigation, Taiyao Mountain currently has at least over 150 Soul Transformation realm demon kings, the Soul Formation realm starts at ten thousand, and other demon beasts are as many as one million. If such majestic power could be used by me..."

The Second Master looked at his fiery eyes, frowned, and said: "What do you want to do?"

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo suddenly looked at Zhou Qing, his gaze filled with a trace of anticipation, and said: "I originally thought we would slowly drag them out, but looking at the situation now, it seems we can't intervene for long."

"Moreover, Taiyao Mountain is located exactly between Blood Prison Mountain and the Thousand Illusion Maze, and it backs onto the territories of the two Demon Emperors in the rear. Such an excellent four-way check-and-balance territory, rather than being occupied by other demon clans, it would be better to let us control it directly."

Watching Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo staring closely at Zhou Qing, the Second Master seemed to guess something, but he still shook his head.

"This move is probably not easy, there are too many flaws; don't you dare have any ideas about him," the Second Master said.

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo turned his head to look at the Second Master and said: "If I don't have ideas about him, then you help me. He can transform into the appearance of a Jin Peng; for you, it should be even easier."

Hearing this, the Second Master couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

That "Di Huang Jing" was a treasure technique derived from the bloodline inheritance of the Jin Peng clan. The old Old Peng Wang was truly remarkable for being able to purify his own bloodline to that extent and comprehend the divine abilities left by his ancestors from it.

But he himself hadn't practiced the "Di Huang Jing," and he didn't have the essence blood of the Jin Peng clan, so how could he pretend?

And Zhou Qing on the side also roughly understood, feeling somewhat incredulous.

This is, asking me to impersonate the Peng Emperor Feng Feng Xuan Yi?

Are you kidding me?

But the Second Master still had to clarify in advance, lest this guy develop any inappropriate thoughts.

"The divine ability that Zhou Qing practices is called 'Di Huang Jing,' which originates from the bloodline divine ability of the Golden-Winged Great Peng clan."

"You should know that this kind of bloodline inheritance method, apart from direct spiritual lineage imprinting, cannot be practiced by others, not even by soul-searching."

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo frowned slightly, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

No, what do you mean, old guy? Are you afraid I'll snatch it?

The conditions for wanting to practice the bloodline inheritance method of the demon clan are extremely harsh. Zhou Qing being able to practice to this point can be said to be extremely lucky.

However, did this "Di Huang Jing" come from that feathered beast?

I have dealt with him for so many years, but I have never seen him use it.

And when Zhou Qing fought his few disciples, he was shocked when he first used it, really thinking it was the demon clan.

And the purity of that golden light all over his body was a level that Feng Feng Xuan Ling had pursued his whole life but found difficult to reach.

If it was the old Old Peng Wang of Canglan Mountain, it wouldn't make sense either.

You weren't there that time; the physical body of the Corpse-Spirit Jin Peng and the second spiritual sense born from it were all suppressed and killed by the Imperial Brother with one finger, and several people under the abyss had also searched carefully.

Where did you get this "Di Huang Jing" from?

And you don't practice it yourself, but you gave it to your beloved disciple?

It seems you really aren't just ordinarily good to him.

However, none of this matters now. Since Zhou Qing has practiced it, it's actually fine.

"What Taiyao Mountain lacks most now is a backbone. Zhou Qing, this child, can completely transform into the appearance of a Jin Peng. You help him change into the appearance of Feng Feng Xuan Ling. I have a secret technique here that can allow Zhou Qing to unleash an attack of the Soul Severance realm in a short time. How about it?"

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo looked at Zhou Qing, then at the Second Master, his eyes full of anticipation.

The Second Master shook his head immediately: "It's a bit too risky..."

"I have already broken through to the mid-stage of the Soul Severance realm. Letting Zhou Qing unleash an attack of the Soul Severance realm can allow him to touch this realm in advance. This is an opportunity that many people would give anything for. Moreover, this also causes some damage to me."

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo explained hurriedly.

Hearing this, the Second Master's eyes lit up.

If you put it that way, it's not impossible.

But immediately, he thought of the key problem, and his brows furrowed again: "But this child won't stay at the border in the future. Aren't you digging a hole for yourself?"

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo said with a calm expression: "It doesn't matter. As long as the other demon emperors know that Feng Feng Xuan Ling hasn't truly fallen, naturally no one will have ideas about this place anymore. Moreover, Zhou Qing just needs to announce his seclusion when the time comes."

Hearing this, the Second Master pondered for a while, then slowly turned his gaze to Zhou Qing.

Everything still depends on his own decision.

To be honest, Zhou Qing was a bit tempted.

What he was tempted by was not anything else, but the good fortune of being able to unleash an attack of the Soul Severance realm, which would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his subsequent cultivation.

Many people don't even have the chance to see a Soul Severance realm expert in their entire lives, let alone stand in that position to comprehend it in advance.

"If you make a move once, this King will give you another twenty supreme-grade spirit stones as a reward. How about it?"

Seeing Zhou Qing's hesitant expression, Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

Zhou Qing's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and after a while, he said: "I want five-element spirit stones, preferably fire and water attributes!"

A trace of a smile flashed in Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's eyes, and he said without hesitation: "Good, deal!"

"You should be clear about Feng Feng Xuan Ling's appearance, hurry up!" There was no time to lose; Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo immediately looked at the Second Master, then formed seals with both hands and pressed them fiercely against his own glabella.

The next moment, a miniature "Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo," looking like both a Nascent Soul and a Primordial Spirit, was slowly pulled out, looking pained.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, both the Second Master and Zhou Qing couldn't help but gasp.

"Old Ape, why be so stubborn? If it really doesn't work, we can share another twenty percent of the things in Brother Feng's cave dwelling with you later. How about it?"

Seeing that the old ape remained unmoved, the Flood Dragon Emperor had gradually lost his patience and said straight to the point.

Hearing this, the old ape still shook his head.

It was the same sentence; the things behind him now were the reliance for all of them to save their lives and must absolutely not be handed over to others.

Seeing the old ape so determined, the Spider Emperor felt a burning rage in her heart, and her originally charming and moving face instantly became ferocious and twisted.

The next moment, behind her, a huge spider phantom slowly emerged, and a thick black mist spewed out from its mouth. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be corroded, emitting a pungent odor.

"Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Spider Emperor shouted angrily, and the spider phantom behind her lunged fiercely toward Black Feather Peak.

The huge impact immediately caused the entire Black Feather Peak to tremble violently, and stones on the mountain rolled down, making a dull rumbling sound.

Many demon clans showed horror, but they didn't know where to escape.

But strangely, the entire Black Feather Peak did not collapse because of this, and after a brief shaking, it returned to normal.

The old ape and the other demon kings couldn't help but turn pale, subconsciously retreating repeatedly and preparing a defensive posture.

The Flood Dragon Emperor frowned, just about to tell the Spider Emperor to make less noise and not attract Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo.

But at the next moment, a deafening cry suddenly came from inside Black Feather Peak, and a golden light streaked across the sky like lightning, rushing straight toward the Spider Emperor.

That golden light was too fast; before the Spider Emperor could make a more comprehensive reaction, it was already close at hand.

In a panic, she instinctively blocked, and the huge spider phantom behind her instantly expanded. The originally thick eight long legs crossed together fiercely, forming an airtight defensive net.

As the two sides collided, a dull, loud noise roared.

The Spider Emperor only felt a terrifying force rushing toward her face, her whole body felt a sudden pain, and then her body flew backward uncontrollably.

After she stumbled and steadied her figure, she couldn't help but groan, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

In those originally arrogant eyes, a trace of fear and disbelief flashed at this moment.

The Flood Dragon Emperor was also stunned, as if he had just come back to his senses, and immediately looked at the golden light.

He saw a huge figure standing in the air, his whole body surrounded by a layer of dazzling golden light, so brilliant that people couldn't look directly at him.

With wings spread, covering the sky and the sun, it was as if two golden curtains of heaven were waving gently, and the whole world made a sharp whistling sound.

"Brother, Brother Feng?"

When he finally saw the appearance of that figure clearly, the Flood Dragon Emperor was stunned on the spot, and the Spider Emperor was even more terrified.

From that blow just now, she could clearly feel that the other party seemed to be even more powerful than before.

Zhou Qing held his head high, his eyes like two burning golden suns, staring fixedly at the two.

The momentum was majestic, awe-inspiring without anger!

And the old ape and other demon kings behind him also looked at the majestic back in the sky, their eyes full of excitement and ecstasy, their hands trembling slightly, muttering to themselves: "Great King, is it really the Great King?"

If it wasn't the Great King, how could he come out from inside Black Feather Peak?

"Great King!" Regardless of whether it was true or false, the old ape cheered first.

After a brief moment of being stunned, the other Peng clansmen also erupted into cheers.

The originally desperate haze was swept away in an instant. They knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing piously toward Zhou Qing, and some were already sobbing uncontrollably.

Behind Black Feather Peak, Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's face was pale, and he was also a bit stunned.

How is Zhou Qing's transformed appearance different from the one on the drill ground?

And this appearance now is almost exactly the same as the old Old Peng Wang under the abyss of Canglan Mountain back then.

What exactly is going on?

"Don't look at me. If the secret is revealed, the two of us will simply make a move and suppress and kill them directly!"

"By the way, afterwards, either gag those who have seen Zhou Qing transform into a Jin Peng on the drill ground, or directly erase their memories to avoid trouble!"

After the Second Master gave his instructions, he stared at Zhou Qing with worry in his eyes.

Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo nodded, not daring to ask more, and had to look forward again.

At this time, Zhou Qing looked down at the two Demon Emperors below calmly, but his heart was extremely excited.

The feeling of that blow just now was truly wonderful. The whole person felt like a master, and with a wave of his hand, he could easily kill an ordinary Soul Transformation realm expert.

Is this the strength of the Soul Severance realm?

But listening to the kowtowing of the many demon clans behind him, he hurriedly steadied his mind, ensured that the puppet the Second Master gave him was still in his arms, and then looked at the two Demon Emperors and spoke slowly.

"Two, aren't you being too impatient?"

When the Flood Dragon Emperor and the Spider Emperor heard this familiar voice, their eyes were full of panic and disbelief, and they said in shock: "You didn't die?"

They never expected that Feng Feng Xuan Yi, who should have fallen, would appear at this moment, and even repelled the Spider Emperor with such a powerful posture.

As for the other demon kings, tears streamed down their faces, and they trembled with excitement.

Their backbone is still alive!

Zhou Qing looked at the appearance of the two, only feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

With the cultivation of the Soul Transformation realm, to deter two Soul Severance realm Demon Emperors in this instant, who else could do such a feat?

At this moment, his expression remained as calm as water, without any ripples, and he said indifferently: "Are you so eager for me to die?"

Upon hearing this, the Flood Dragon Emperor's heart shrank fiercely, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile: "No, no, seeing that Brother Feng is still alive, we are genuinely happy for you from the bottom of our hearts."

The Spider Emperor also hurriedly said: "Brother Feng, it's a misunderstanding, all of this is a misunderstanding. We were just worried that the Weilun Demon and the Qingluo Beast would be detrimental to Taiyao Mountain, which is why we were a bit anxious. I hope Brother Feng will not take it to heart."

Zhou Qing just snorted coldly, then slowly landed. As the light around his body flickered, he returned to his original appearance, which was exactly the appearance of Feng Feng Xuan Yi.

However, he looked slightly pale at this moment, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, yet he exuded a different kind of sharpness.

This was a drama Zhou Qing added for himself temporarily.

After all, Lingku Mountain had been leveled, forming such a huge abyss, and it was dark all year round there, and everyone who approached would be disturbed by negative emotions.

Such a tragic scene was enough to show that a Soul Severance realm expert had indeed fallen.

The Peng Emperor had appeared there, and coupled with his disappearance for so many years, even if he hadn't fallen, he should have been seriously injured.

Since it's acting, it shouldn't be performed too perfectly, otherwise it's easy to arouse suspicion.

Simply revealing it directly would not be suspected.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Qing like this, the expressions of the Flood Dragon Emperor and the Spider Emperor changed slightly again.

He didn't die, but he was injured, yet he must have obtained a very good opportunity.

It's just that I don't know to what extent he has recovered now?

The two looked at each other, both seeing the same hesitation and unease in each other's eyes.

As Demon Emperors, they knew the terror of this realm well. If they made a move rashly and were counterattacked before death, taking one with them, that would be the end of everything.

Even if they were injured, it wouldn't be worth it, because that would only benefit others.

The Weilun Demon, the Qingluo Beast, and even the humans were all hoping they would kill each other and then reap the benefits.

The Flood Dragon Emperor took a deep breath at this time, squeezed out a smile, and said: "The words of that beast Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo really cannot be believed; he is very cunning. Now seeing that Brother Feng's style is still the same, we are very comforted."

The Spider Emperor also said: "Since Brother Feng is back, there must be many things to deal with. We won't disturb you, we will take our leave first, and we will visit another day to drink and have fun with Brother Feng."

After saying that, the two cupped their hands and made a gesture to leave.

Zhou Qing suddenly said: "Wait a moment!"

The voice was not loud, but it made the two guilty people freeze in their tracks.

The two stopped immediately, pretending to be calm, and said: "Does Brother Feng have anything else?"

Zhou Qing pointed at Black Feather Peak behind him unhurriedly and said: "Your blow just now seems to have damaged some of the formations I left behind."

The Flood Dragon Emperor originally wanted to say that he hadn't made a move at all, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

In the current situation, it's better to have less trouble than more.

With a wave of his hand, twenty supreme-grade spirit stones wrapped in demon power flew toward Zhou Qing.

The Spider Emperor knew she was in the wrong and threw over thirty supreme-grade spirit stones directly.

"A small token, consider it compensation for our impulsiveness. I hope Brother Feng will accept it!" After speaking, the two turned into two streams of light and disappeared.

Looking at the supreme-grade spirit stones in his hand, Zhou Qing's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but grin.

If it weren't for the Second Master and Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo backing him up, he wouldn't have dared to ask for compensation so blatantly.

But since it's acting, he had to perform the whole set.

"Great King!"

At this moment, excited shouts came from all over Taiyao Mountain.

Zhou Qing looked up and saw a dense crowd of demons covering the sky and the sun coming toward him.

After all, the two Demon Emperors came together, and this formation made all the demon clans very nervous. They all rushed over quietly, wanting to see what the result of this confrontation would be.

But who would have thought that their Great King was still alive, and even the two Emperors of Blood Prison Mountain and the Thousand Illusion Maze fled in a sorry state as if apologizing.

The Great King who returned seemed even more powerful than before.

For a moment, being surrounded by so many demon beasts, Zhou Qing felt his scalp tingle.

Then he immediately turned his head to look at the old ape, wanting to open his mouth to order something, but suddenly realized a serious problem.

How did Feng Feng Xuan Ling usually address this beloved general?

If he called him wrong and revealed a flaw, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

Soon, he had a flash of inspiration, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he hurriedly gave the old ape a wink.

How smart the old ape was; he immediately understood, and although he was worried, he still pretended to be calm.

"Next, I am going into seclusion for an unknown period of time. Do not disturb me!" Zhou Qing supported his weak body and ordered with unquestionable majesty.

Then he tremblingly took out the Taiyao Token with his right hand and injected spiritual power to activate it.

Suddenly, the cave dwelling in front of him glowed with five-colored light, and then quickly gathered, turning into a ripple gate.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and stepped into it, his figure disappearing instantly.

Leaving behind a group of demon clans full of awe and excitement.

Seeing this scene, the old ape and others were happy, their eyes red, and then they looked at the million demon clans with trembling voices.

"The Great King is fine, you all quickly go back to your duties! From today on, strengthen the patrols and guards around Black Feather Peak, and do not let any suspicious people approach."

"At the same time, order all parts of Taiyao Mountain that all demon clans must strictly observe order and not cause trouble at will. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

"We will strictly follow the military advisor's orders!"

Countless demon clans clasped their fists to accept the order and then dispersed with a roar.

Not far away, two figures were watching this scene sneakily.

"This little guy is capable; in the end, he extorted fifty supreme-grade spirit stones from them. He really earned this money!" Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's eyes flashed with a smile, and he sighed.

The Second Master smiled happily, his face full of pride: "That's for sure, don't look at who taught him. Just this temperament, your disciples can't compare."

"Ah, yes, yes, you are amazing, okay? Now is an opportunity, let's go!" After Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo finished speaking, he got up.

The Second Master curled his lips and slandered: "Look at your narrow-mindedness, afraid that Zhou Qing will swallow your good things."

But he also hurriedly followed.

At this time, after Zhou Qing entered the cave dwelling, what came into view was a huge circular stone room.

In the center of the stone room, there was a stone bed.

This bed didn't know what kind of material it was made of, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations, at least much better in quality than the one of the demon king Hou Shan he saw in Canglan Mountain back then.

Besides that, on the stone bed, there was also a layer of soft golden feathers, emitting a faint light.

"This is from that Corpse-Spirit Peng Emperor of Canglan Mountain!" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

Back then, Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo invited the old Imperial Lord to suppress and kill the old Old Peng Wang with one finger, and many golden feathers were snatched by them.

Under the abyss, Number Six returned and used some of the snatched feathers to open that hidden place.

It seems these should be what Feng Feng Xuan Ling snatched. It looks like his obsession with becoming a true Golden-Winged Great Peng is not ordinary.

Zhou Qing didn't say a word, waved his hand and collected them all. As for the jade bed, he would wait a bit; after all, it was too obvious, lest the few of them develop estrangement.

Before he could look at other places, the Second Master's voice sounded in his mind.

Zhou Qing turned around immediately, opened the cave dwelling with the Taiyao Token again, and two figures entered instantly, throwing the four unconscious demon kings aside.

"Is this the cave dwelling of that feathered beast?" Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo looked around, his eyes revealing a trace of curiosity, and he quickly swept over some ancient furnishings.

The Second Master was also looking around, clicking his tongue in wonder: "It's simple enough. Let me see what treasures there are first."

The two immediately started searching.

Zhou Qing came to a shelf, on which were placed many medicine bottles, almost all of which contained one or two pills of different quantities.

Besides that, there were several long swords hanging on the stone wall with chilling coldness.

Zhou Qing didn't move. The Second Master's words were fine, but this Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo was not a close person after all.

Don't think about hiding anything from the spiritual sense of the Soul Severance realm with your little tricks.

And these things would be divided equally later.

Besides that, in a corner of the stone room, there was a huge alchemy furnace, and some jade pestles, jade bowls, alchemy tripods, etc., were placed around it.

It seems this Feng Feng Xuan Ling was also an alchemist.

"This guy actually collected so many Earth Fire Crystals?" Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo took out more than fifty blood-red stones directly from a secret compartment and exclaimed.
