Merging with Demon Spirits

Xie Chun can sense it, as can Hong Tao. Especially when he detects that various energies have locked onto him, seeming to attack from all directions if he even moves. His face, already somewhat grim, turns icy cold.

He never expected the Avengers Alliance to be so arrogant and brazen.

What audacity!

At this moment, aside from anger, he also feels a bit of trepidation.

This group of young men and women recently surrounded and killed an Extraordinary Powerhouse.

In terms of individual combat strength, Alfonso is in no way weaker than him, and possibly even stronger.

Hong Tao is aware that the Avengers Alliance was able to surround and kill Alfonso largely by utilizing the power of the Spirit Medium.

With him present, the Spirit Medium naturally cannot take action. But Dong Yunan and others have also broken through to the King Realm. After three months of slaughter, the strength of others has increased substantially.

Moreover, Huang Tianze and others have backing from powerful forces.

This is another aspect of his concern.

When yet to become a King, even a super genius like Huang Tianze cannot represent his family outside.

If an offense leads to being killed by a powerhouse, the family’s forces behind would have nothing to say.

But once Huang Tianze becomes a King, the situation changes entirely.

He can represent the family, become its symbol outside, holds considerable voice within, and exercise most of the family’s rights.

Such a young King likely could become an Emperor in the future, not to be compared with ordinary Kings.

Besides, they are members of the Avengers.

The current Avengers Alliance is no longer just a simple alliance; calling it a faction is not an exaggeration.

Hong Tao, despite being an Emperor, cannot possibly contend with an alliance formed by so many forces.

Hong Tao looks coldly at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng meets his gaze without any retreat.

Before coming to Shangjing, he had already prepared for the worst.

"Very good, very good, you surprise me time and again."

Hong Tao laughs aloud, but cannot suppress his underlying anger in his laughter.

He looks at Hong Yi, speaking in a deep voice:

"Do you truly believe the Spirit Medium can escape my control? She carries my seal within her, ready to be detonated anytime I wish."

Faced with Hong Tao’s gaze, Hong Yi’s body involuntarily trembles.

Despite trying to remain calm and knowing he’s safe with his teammates’ protection, he cannot control his fear.

Watching his daughter’s terrified expression, Hong Yuhua’s heart aches, and he pulls Hong Yi behind him, looking at Hong Tao filled with anger and hostility.

As a Seventh Grade in the Flying Realm, he now protects his daughter already at the Ninth Grade, Peak of Lingyun.

This is a father’s instinct. Even facing an Emperor, he feels no fear whatsoever.

"She’s right in front of you now, try detonating if you must."

Lin Feng’s face shows a mocking smile.

Hong Yi is in Shangjing; naturally, Hong Tao wouldn’t dare detonate Sha Mi here.

Furthermore, he cannot bear nor can he detonate it.

The seal left by Hong Tao in Sha Mi has already been lifted by Sha Mi using the Nightmare’s power. Although Hong Tao may have special means to still control Sha Mi, he cannot detonate her.

This is only temporary, as with Hong Yi becoming a King soon, he will easily break free from this restraint.

"Are you sure you want to oppose me?"

Hong Tao asks again, his tone serious.

"Oppose you? That’s laughable."

Lin Feng’s eyes flash with a hint of killing intent, chuckling softly as his laughter grows louder, echoing in the city’s skies: "When the Land of Chaos merged..."

"Lin Feng, some words are better left unsaid..."

Xie Chun’s face changes, directly interrupting Lin Feng, apparently guessing what Lin Feng intends to say next.

Hong Tao’s expression turns grim, a hint of panic in his gaze.

The surrounding Guardians and Kings exchange looks, their expressions slightly strange.

Previously overhearing certain rumors, they too felt angry and incredulous, but the event hadn’t occurred, and Hong Tao, being Extraordinary, guard of the Ten-Star Space Gate, held a revered status not easily questioned.

Now it seems very likely to be true.

If this news were to spread, it would definitely cause an uproar, even Hong Tao may not be able to withstand it.

Clearly, Lin Feng intends to let everyone know, causing Hong Tao to act cautiously.

"Afraid? You did it, why fear people knowing?"

Lin Feng mocks, ignoring Xie Chun’s slightly pleading and warning glance, continuing: "Hong Tao, you secretly let Hong Race members bring Hong Yi into the Land of Chaos, mingling among volunteers, planning to detonate Sha Mi inside Hong Yi if they lost in the key struggle, burying everyone in the Land of Chaos. Had I not obtained the Key and closed the Land of Chaos, all volunteers would have perished, leaving no remains."

Stopping slightly, Lin Feng looks at Hong Tao, smiling as he speaks: "Do you still dare to question me if I’m determined to oppose you?"

Hong Tao remains silent.

The truth is as Lin Feng says.

He could not argue back, nor would he find a reason to do so.

If the key battle fails, detonating Sha Mi and closing the Land of Chaos is what he believes to be the best choice.

To outsiders, he did sound somewhat ridiculous before the case where Hong Tao attempted to trap and kill Lin Feng and others.

Of course, the premise of their belief is because the Avengers Alliance already possesses combat power comparable to an Emperor.

"Hong Tao, you are too arrogant!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "If you weren’t the Emperor of Hua Country, we would kill you on the spot right now!"

Saying this, Lin Feng still wore a smile, yet at this moment, no one dared to laugh out loud.

Lin Feng was too brazen, daring to threaten Hong Tao directly, but no one mocked in their heart.

They could see that Lin Feng was serious.

Under the King Becoming plan and the watchful eyes of more than thirty mentors, they dared to besiege Alfonso; let alone now.

You can underestimate the Avengers Alliance’s strength, but never look down on their courage.

"You can try?" Hong Tao said coldly.

"This boring conversation is meaningless."

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and stepped toward Hong Yi: "Hong Yi has now joined the Avengers Alliance and is no longer a puppet you can control, not to mention she is a person, with flesh and blood, a living person."

Hong Tao’s face darkened.

Is Lin Feng preaching to him?

Lin Feng then looked at Xie Chun and asked, "Emperor Xie, do you condone Hong Tao’s actions? Or does the nation permit it? In my view, if a country loses its bottom line, it loses hope."

Xie Chun’s face was equally unpleasant.

Lin Feng was not only preaching to Hong Tao but also to her. Though his words were arrogant, she couldn’t refute them.

The existence of Spirit Mediums is not a secret. Spirit Mediums riot every few years, which has always been the taboo avoided by the upper echelons and various families.

Of course, some have raised objections, deeming such actions inappropriate and inhumane.

But due to Hong Tao’s strength, coupled with Sha Mi already being sealed by the Spirit Medium, and the irreplaceable role of Spirit Mediums, the upper echelons tacitly consented to such actions.

Now Lin Feng publicly tore this cover, making her embarrassed and somewhat ashamed.

"Brother Feng."

Hong Yi’s body trembled slightly, her eyes reddened, tears continuously streaming.

She did not expect Lin Feng would not only protect her but also question two Emperors for her.

Even question the nation’s leaders.

"Soon, I will go to the Pure Land."

Lin Feng looked at Hong Tao, speaking leisurely: "Don’t look at me with that threatening gaze. You guessed right; I am indeed threatening you. After I leave, if Hong Yi and her family are harmed, I will do everything possible to have the Twelve Celestial Kings of the Pure Land take action to kill you, and the Hong Race’s clansmen outside should also be very cautious!"

Hong Tao’s face had already turned very unpleasant, threatened again and again, causing him to lose some rationality.

A terrifying aura emanated from Hong Tao, like stormy waves, sweeping across the scene, making it somewhat difficult to breathe.

"Lin Feng, the government will be responsible for Hong Yi’s safety. You have gone a bit too far, and anyways, this matter has nothing to do with other members of the Hong Family."

Xie Chun appeared in front of Hong Tao, slightly admonishing Lin Feng.

No force dares to provoke the Pure Land.

Even great countries do not want to easily conflict with the Pure Land.

Although Hong Tao is fearless against the Pure Land’s threat, the Hong Race’s family members outside are certainly frightened.

"Isn’t this exactly how Hong Tao threatened Hong Yi? Why can’t I do it? Hong Yi was imprisoned by the Hong Family, guarded by Hong Family people; how could it not be related?"

Lin Feng questioned.

Xie Chun wanted to speak but stopped, ultimately turning into a sigh.

Regarding the Spirit Medium incident, Hong Tao and the upper echelons are indeed at fault, which is why they cannot argue back against Lin Feng.

"Go back; it’s okay."

Lin Feng came up to Hong Yi, rubbed her head, and said.

"Thank you."

Hong Yuhua said.

He knew without Lin Feng and others’ help, Hong Yi might have already died, would not have regained freedom, and their family of four would not have been reunited.

"Wind God! Thank you for saving my sister."

Hong Fei, tearful and in awe, said.

Being so close to Lin Feng, he felt his heart racing fast.

He wanted an autograph but was too shy to ask, planning to let his sister ask later.

"No need for thanks."

Lin Feng smiled, also patting Hong Fei’s head, which made Hong Fei’s chubby face tremble with excitement.

Hong Tao watched Lin Feng and others, leading Hong Yi and her family, slowly disappear.
