Chapter 529: Heavenly Demon City!

"The Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan and I have never had much interaction, but since we are both part of the demon race, and you brought back my Lin'er, I must reward you properly," said the Qiongqi Demon Emperor.

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor had completely lowered his guard against Ling Feng. Although Ling Feng did not look like he belonged to the demon race, who among those despicable humans would take such a huge risk to return the king beast egg?

No matter how clever the Qiongqi Demon Emperor was, he could not have imagined that Ling Feng would dare to disguise himself as a demon and infiltrate the demon race's sacred land.

"Sir Demon Emperor, there is no need for any reward," Ling Feng said, pretending to be weak. "I fought many humans to retrieve the king beast egg. Although I managed to kill them all, I sustained some injuries. I hope to return to Heavenly Demon City to recover soon."

"Oh?" Qiongqi Demon Emperor placed a hand on Ling Feng's shoulder and discovered some internal injuries. He nodded slightly and channeled strong demonic essence into Ling Feng's body.

Ling Feng was startled and quickly said, "Sir Demon Emperor, you don't need to use your demonic essence for these minor injuries."

The demonic essence of the demon emperor was undoubtedly beneficial to true demons, but it was extremely toxic to Ling Feng.

"Alright," the Qiongqi Demon Emperor said calmly, not doubting him. "Since Lin'er has been found, there's no need to stay in the Sky Demon Forest. Hmph, those shameless humans have gotten lucky this time!"

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor snorted. In fact, he had already expended much of his clan's strength to quell internal strife. Going to war with the humans now would likely lead to mutual destruction.

As an emperor of the demon race, he had to consider many factors. This was why, despite surrounding Iron Wolf City, he had only negotiated with the leaders of the Black-Armored Cavalry without launching an attack.

Ling Feng sighed in relief, having managed to avert a major conflict between humans and demons. Though it felt like he was cleaning up for the Skull Gang, it was undoubtedly a good thing for the countless innocent people in Iron Wolf City.

"By the way, young one of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan, what is your name?" Qiongqi Demon Emperor suddenly asked.

"I am Long Fei," Ling Feng casually fabricated a name.

"Long Fei, huh?" The Qiongqi Demon Emperor nodded slightly. "The main forces of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan are in the Nanjiang Sacred City. Since you wish to stay in Heavenly Demon City for a while, you can stay in my palace."

"Why? Am I not welcomed?" Ling Feng smiled.

"It is an honor for our Lin Demon Clan!"

Hai Lingxiang's eyes sparkled. If they could gain the friendship of a high-level demon race like the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan, the status of the Lin Demon Clan would rise significantly.

"Princess, you must have heard my conversation with the demon emperor. I hope you can take me to Heavenly Demon City as soon as possible. What do you think?" Ling Feng said calmly.

"Since the demon emperor has ordered a retreat, there is no need for our Lin Demon Clan to stay here. If you are in a hurry, Lord Long Fei, I can take you to Heavenly Demon City first," Hai Lingxiang said softly.

"Thank you, Princess."

Ling Feng touched his nose, feeling secretly pleased. He hadn't expected that a random mark on him would grant him the identity of a high-level demon race member, making him quite popular among these demons!

The Lin Demon Princess then ordered a few maids to inform the Lin Demon Clan to prepare for the return journey. She took Ling Feng and two female demons with her, setting off immediately for Heavenly Demon City.

...

About three days later.

From a distance, Ling Feng saw the outline of a massive city made of white bones. These bones were the remains of demonic beasts from ancient times, each as tall as a mountain, which explained the grandeur of this white-bone city.

"This is Heavenly Demon City? Truly magnificent!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes. This white-bone city was more impressive than any other city he had seen.

Even from a human perspective, the craftsmanship of these demon artisans was remarkable!

Using the skeletons of ancient demonic beasts as city defenses meant that even if the human army attacked Heavenly Demon City, these sturdy fortifications would make them despair.
