Chapter 539: Prince Long Fei!
"Chief, the main branch! Someone from the main branch has arrived!!"
The elderly Three-Headed Demonic Jiao, leading Ling Feng, rushed into the cave. Upon hearing news of the main branch, the elder seemed to rejuvenate by hundreds of years.
However, the black-armored demon following behind looked impatient and displeased, clearly harboring a strong dislike for the main branch of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan.
Upon hearing the elder's call, a man in golden robes, seated deep within the cave on a golden throne, suddenly stood up. His gaze immediately locked onto Ling Feng, and he exclaimed, "Y-You are from the main branch?"
His voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the cave.
Although the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan in Heavenly Demon City was merely a minor branch, they still carried the bloodline of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan.
The chief of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan was a formidable demon king, perhaps not as strong as Niu Bi, but certainly not weaker than Hai Yunji.
"Yes." Ling Feng nodded slightly. At this point, he had no choice but to continue bluffing his way through.
The recommendation spot from the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan was crucial for him.
No matter what, he had to infiltrate the demon ruler's tomb!
"Indeed, not only do you bear the royal insignia of our clan, but you also carry the aura of the sacred relic, the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl!"
The man in golden robes had sharp eyes.
Ling Feng's eyes twitched. He hadn't expected this guy to even sense the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl's aura.
"I am Jin Zhulong, the ninth-generation chief of this branch of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan. How should I address you, sir?" The chief in golden robes asked respectfully.
Ling Feng casually replied, "Long Fei."
"Long[1]! Indeed, a royal surname!" Jin Zhulong's eyes sparkled. "After so many years, we finally have an envoy from the main branch!"
Ling Feng's mouth twitched slightly. He had randomly made up a name, yet it coincidentally matched the royal family’s. It seemed his luck wasn't too bad!
"Hmph, the main branch. So what if it's the main branch!?" The black-armored male demon scoffed, looking at Ling Feng with disdain.
The so-called main branch member is only at the level of a demon general!
"Indeed! Prince Long Fei, please accept this humble gift from me."
Jin Zhulong said earnestly, now viewing Ling Feng as the crucial link between the main and branch of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan. Naturally, he offered his best treasures to Ling Feng unconditionally.
"Then I shall accept it with gratitude."
Ling Feng took a deep breath. If he were to search on his own, he might not obtain such a high-grade thunder-attribute spirit infusion treasure even after ten or twenty years.
Meanwhile, the black-armored demon, Jin Jiao, had already gathered the elders and young elites of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan.
"Everyone, you are just in time. Come and pay your respects to Prince Long Fei from the main branch!"
Jin Zhulong shouted excitedly, his mood jubilant.
If he were to find out that Ling Feng was not a member of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan but a human, he might have the urge to crush Ling Feng into a meat patty.
"A prince from the main branch!"
"Oh my, does the main branch still remember us?"
Like the elder who had brought Ling Feng, the older generation of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan wept with joy and showed utmost respect, even worshiping Ling Feng.
However, the younger generation, led by Jin Jiao, remained indifferent to Ling Feng.
Especially since Ling Feng's aura only reached the level of a demon general!
This level of strength hardly earned their respect.
"Hmph, so what if he belongs to the main branch? What's so impressive about that? Big Brother Jin Jiao may not have the royal bloodline, but his cultivation speed is no slower than those royal descendants in Heavenly Demon City! Only Big Brother Jin Jiao is fit to be our prince!"
A graceful Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan maiden glanced shyly at the tall and imposing Jin Jiao beside her, her cheeks flushing slightly.
This maiden also had the clan's signature horns, though they were smaller, and most of the scales on her face had receded, making her one of the more perfectly transformed demons.
Although she couldn't compare to the likes of Hai Lingxiang from the Lin Demon Clan in terms of beauty, she was still quite attractive.
This maiden was Jin Zhulong's youngest daughter, named Xiaomeng.
