179: Chapter 179 The Three-Day Decision: Wang Teng's Open Scheme

"This..." Zhao Wujiang stopped speaking.

"Then... Brother Wang, what do you mean?"

"Play along with his scheme."

A viper-like glint flashed in Wang Teng's eyes.

"Isn't he planning to settle accounts with us?"

"Isn't he looking for the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

"Fine! We will give him that opportunity!"

"We will pretend that he... is the real deal!"

Wang Teng stood up. "Pass on my order, prepare the carriage. We are going... to see the Inspector!"

...

Liu Family Martial Arts Hall. Lin Feng was still sitting cross-legged in meditation.

He hadn't touched a single point of those [101 billion] critical hit points.

He was waiting. Waiting for an opportunity to settle the matter once and for all.

"My Lord!" Liu Ming scrambled in, tumbling and crawling. "The... the three Old Ancestors have come again!"

"Let them in." Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Soon, the three of them—Wang Teng and the others—walked in with faces full of "respect," mixed with a hint of "guilt."

"Greetings, My Lord!"

"Spare me the nonsense." Lin Feng waved his hand impatiently. "Where is my demon?"

"This..." Wang Teng dropped to his knees with a thud.

"My Lord! We... deserve to die!" Li Daoxuan and Zhao Wujiang also quickly knelt down.

"My Lord, we truly... cannot find that Yellow Weasel Demon."

Wang Teng kowtowed, then snapped his head up, his face filled with "righteous indignation."

"However!"

"In the process of our investigation, we uncovered a shocking secret!"

"Oh?"

"The Heavenly Demon Sect Protector of the Black Demon Mountain Range, the Black Fiend Demonic Lord! He... he actually... secretly harbored a creature that ascended from the Lower Realm..."

"A Nine-Nether Dragon Lion!"

"That is the descendant of the Immortal King's mount from back in the day!"

"We suspect that the Yellow Weasel Demon was captured by him to be used as blood food!"

Wang Teng wept bitterly. "We intended to mobilize our troops immediately to retrieve your spiritual pet and avenge the descendant of the Immortal King!"

"But... that Black Fiend Demonic Lord is at the Peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and he wields the 'Ten Thousand Soul Banner' bestowed by the Heavenly Demon Sect. His combat power is comparable to a Heavenly Immortal!"

"We knew we were no match for him and dared not act rashly..."

"Therefore..." Wang Teng snapped his head up, his eyes filled with "hope" and "fanaticism"!

"We implore you, My Lord!"

"We implore you to take action yourself!"

"Lead the armies of our three families, exterminate the Black Demon Mountain Range, slay the Demonic Lord, and avenge the descendant of the Immortal King!!"

Good grief. Lin Feng was almost amused to laughter. If this old dog didn't go into acting, it would truly be a waste of talent.

An open conspiracy. A naked, open conspiracy.

This script was exactly the same as the one Zhao Wujiang had last night. No, it was even more venomous!

They had already concluded that he was "fake."

They dared not take action themselves. They wanted to... borrow a knife to kill!

Borrow the knife of the "Black Fiend Demonic Lord" to kill him!

"Oh?" Lin Feng slowly stood up. The face beneath the black robe showed no joy or anger.

"Black Demon Mountain Range?" "Black Fiend Demonic Lord?" "Peak of the Earth Immortal realm?"

"Yes! Yes!" Wang Teng was overjoyed. He thought Lin Feng had taken the bait!

"Very well." Lin Feng nodded. He looked at Wang Teng's old face, which hid a sense of triumph, and suddenly smiled.

"Exterminating the demonic spawn is naturally my duty."

"However..."

The atmosphere in the great hall instantly froze. The three of them held their breath, knowing the real performance was about to begin.

"However what?" Wang Teng asked cautiously.

"However..." Lin Feng smiled. To Wang Teng, that smile felt so cold and... as if it saw through everything.

"The Black Fiend Demonic Lord, a mere Earth Immortal at the ninth level." Lin Feng said indifferently, in a tone as if he were discussing trash: "Does he deserve for me... to take action myself?"

"What?!" The three of them, Wang, Li, and Zhao, were all stunned at once!

This... this script wasn't right! Shouldn't he be furious and then personally lead the expedition?!

"My Lord... what do you mean?" Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding arose.

"My meaning is very simple." Lin Feng slowly walked in front of the three. The pressure of his Earth Immortal ninth-level cultivation was faint, yet it felt like Mount Tai pressing down on them!

"Exterminating the demonic sect is your three families'... pledge of allegiance."

Boom! A pledge of allegiance! These three words, like a heavy hammer, smashed fiercely into their hearts! He... he truly knew everything!

"I," Lin Feng put his hands behind his back, his posture perfectly mimicking the Inspector he was "playing." "Do not care about the process. I only want the result."

He held up one finger. "One day. Within one day, I want to find the whereabouts of my Yellow Weasel Demon on the corpse of that Black Fiend Demonic Lord. Otherwise... you three can bring your own heads to see me."

"My Lord!" Zhao Wujiang panicked on the spot and jumped up! "This is impossible! That Black Fiend Demonic Lord is an Earth Immortal at the ninth level! He has a demonic treasure protecting him, making him comparable to a Heavenly Immortal at the ninth level!! We three... we three..."

"You three cannot defeat him?" Lin Feng interrupted him, his cold eyes filled with mockery. "Three Heavenly Immortals cannot defeat one Earth Immortal? Are you... telling me a joke?"

"I..." Zhao Wujiang was rendered speechless! That's right! They were Heavenly Immortals! How could they admit that they couldn't defeat an Earth Immortal? Damn it... was this open conspiracy being reverse-trapped again?!

"Wang Teng." Lin Feng ignored Zhao Wujiang and just looked calmly at Wang Teng. "Can you not defeat him either?"

"..." Wang Teng, this old fox at the third level of the Heavenly Immortal realm, was now drenched in cold sweat. He finally understood. The man before him... had never intended to play by the rules! He was... forcing their hand! He was forcing them to fight the Heavenly Demon Sect to the death!

"My Lord..." Wang Teng's voice was hoarse. "The Black Fiend Demonic Lord is not to be feared. But... the one standing behind him is... is the Blood Prison Demonic Sect! They have a Devil King presiding over them..."

"So what?" Lin Feng interrupted him again. "Do you mean that your Wang family fears the Devil King but does not fear... the Immortal Emperor?"

"..." Wang Teng shut his mouth once again.

"I will say this one last time." Lin Feng had lost all patience. "The Black Demon Mountain Range must be leveled. The Black Fiend Demonic Lord must die. I do not have the time to watch you perform here."

He stepped forward abruptly, and the pressure of his Earth Immortal ninth-level cultivation, mixed with that trace of "Emperor's Might," exploded forth!

"Wang Teng! Li Daoxuan! Zhao Wujiang!" "Listen to my order!" "Present!" The three of them, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, instinctively knelt down!

"I will personally... oversee the battle!" Lin Feng said the exact same words as in Wang Teng's script! But the meaning was completely opposite!

"What?!" The three were shocked! "My Lord! You... you want to go in person?"

"Why? Can I not go?"

"No, no, no! You can go! You can go!" Wang Teng's heart reignited with a glimmer of hope! As long as he goes, that's fine! As long as he arrives at the Black Demon Mountain Range! That is the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect! By then, even if he has the Immortal Emperor's supreme treasure protecting him, under the Heavenly Demon Sect's mountain-guarding array, he will...

"Very well." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted. He wanted these three old dogs and the Heavenly Demon Sect to tear each other apart! And he only needed to... reap the rewards at the end!

"Pass the order." Lin Feng's voice was cold and unquestionable. "Prepare the three armies! Depart in one hour! I want to watch a... magnificent firework display at the Black Demon Mountain Range!"

Wang Teng and the others were ashen-faced. They had been trapped. There was no way out anymore.
