Chapter 865 - 663: Celestial King Hai
After the Beast Celestial King left, along the way, Lin Feng still attracted a lot of attention, but the process was smooth, and no one came to cause trouble.
"I’ll find you later, don’t run around."
Lin Feng instructed Hong Yi.
"Mm." Hong Yi nodded earnestly, indicating she understood.
Coming to the Pure Land was a well-considered decision, but here, her heart was actually very uneasy, and the mental pressure was immense.
If not to greet Lin Feng, she wouldn’t dare leave the Spirit Hall lightly.
After separating from Hong Yi, Polona Segura led Lin Feng to the Sea Hall, and soon he met the Celestial King Hai he had been "thinking about."
The Celestial King Hai was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a simple gray robe, appearing as a slightly aging middle-aged man, with gray temples and uniquely sapphire-like eyes, clear and deep.
He didn’t exude the aura of an Extraordinary Powerhouse, but rather resembled a scholarly teacher, conveying an impression of elegance and knowledge.
Of course, without the test topic "Kill Lin Feng" from the apostle assessment back then, Lin Feng might truly think so.
Hypocrite!
Lin Feng thought to himself, and bowed slightly to show respect.
"Celestial King Hai!"
Although he cursed in his heart, feeling all kinds of displeasure, he had to bow.
"Lin Feng, I’ve been hearing about you for quite some time!"
Celestial King Hai sized Lin Feng up, smiling, with a slightly teasing tone.
"I wouldn’t dare."
Lin Feng wore a slightly awkward expression, looking somewhat restrained and tense.
"Even before joining the Pure Land, you killed five apostles, surrounded by various Emperor mentors, overpoweringly pursuing and killing the Extraordinary powerhouse Alfonso. What is there that you dare not do?"
Celestial King Hai mentioned Lin Feng’s glorious achievements, continuing with a smile: "Even I dare not declare war on the Divine Martial Continent; regardless of prowess, your courage is greater than mine!"
Faced with praise from the Pure Land Twelve Celestial Kings, Lin Feng dared not respond.
He didn’t know if Celestial King Hai was mocking him or truly admiring him, so he remained silent, speaking less to make fewer mistakes.
Seeing Lin Feng’s silence, Celestial King Hai didn’t dwell on the issue: "Did you just encounter the Beast Celestial King?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes."
On this, Celestial King Hai wasn’t surprised.
"The Beast Celestial King is very interested in your demon spirit. He mentioned wanting you as his apostle multiple times, and even offered me some very favorable conditions."
Lin Feng’s expression changed slightly, could Celestial Kings readily swap their apostles?
If he truly became an apostle of the Beast Celestial King, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap, a lamb to the slaughter?
Fortunately, according to Celestial King Hai, he didn’t agree to the Beast Celestial King’s conditions, otherwise he’d have to find ways to escape.
"From your expression, you haven’t informed him?"
Celestial King Hai said surprised, his blue pupils flashed with a hint of luminescence: "You already know the Beast Celestial King’s abilities, knowing he won’t easily give up, yet you would rather offend the Beast Celestial King than reveal your Lifebound Demon Spirit. It’s not just him, at this moment, even I am curious about your demon spirit."
Pausing slightly, Celestial King Hai smiled and asked: "Can you tell me? I can keep it confidential for you!"
Lin Feng remained silent, showing no response.
Polona Segura glanced at Lin Feng, feeling worried for him.
It’s just a demon spirit, isn’t it?
Is it necessary to keep it this secret?
She could understand hiding it from the Beast Celestial King, but why even keep it from Celestial King Hai?
Offending a boss at the first meeting is not a good thing.
In her view, without Celestial King Hai’s protection, Lin Feng didn’t have the strength to resist the Beast Celestial King’s probing.
Moreover, Lin Feng’s troubles weren’t just limited to the Beast Celestial King.
"So mysterious? Could it be one of the top ten demon spirits ranked on the Earth Chart? Surely it’s not a Celestial Chart demon spirit?"
Celestial King Hai continued to inquire.
"If it is Celestial King Hai’s command, Lin Feng naturally cannot refuse."
After a moment of silence, Lin Feng spoke.
After all, he was Celestial King Hai’s apostle, unable to refuse Hai’s commands.
Otherwise, he’d surely be unable to remain in the Pure Land.
Nightmare suppresses Abnormal People, but not humans. Celestial King Hai, unless he’s encountered demigod remnants, likely won’t react.
Moreover, after cultivating the Second Incarnation, Nightmare’s aura has subtly changed, it’s likely he won’t perceive it.
Constant rejection is unwise; it further arouses curiosity. Retreating might achieve a better effect.
Celestial King Hai withdrew his smile; the already tense atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive.
Lin Feng is his apostle; as a Celestial King, he must maintain a high stance.
He’s merely curious.
Even if it’s a Celestial Chart demon spirit, so what?
He’s not the Beast Celestial King, doesn’t know Human-Beast Transformation, wouldn’t inquire about Lin Feng’s demon spirit if not for the Beast Celestial King.
Later, he would have opportunities to find out.
In the Pure Land, Lin Feng’s desire to hide his strength is not that easy.
"Since you’re unwilling to reveal, I naturally won’t force you."
Celestial King Hai said lightly, changing the subject: "In the Pure Land, reasoning doesn’t apply, even if there are rules, they generally don’t apply to Celestial Kings. Be careful with the Beast Celestial King; as long as I’m present, he won’t act against you. Of course, that’s only a probability, better safe than sorry. Don’t let your guard down. If I’m absent, you must be extra cautious; Beast Celestial King won’t care if you’re my apostle, among his collection are his apostles."
Mad Dog!
Lin Feng subtly cursed in his heart.
Indeed a mad dog, not even sparing his apostles.
"Celestial King Hai, can I ask, can the Beast Celestial King control spirit mediums?"
Regarding the Beast Celestial King threat, Lin Feng felt uneasy and pressured, but not fearful.
Since absorbing the Life Soul Transformation soul skill, his combat system neared perfection, without obvious weaknesses, facing the Beast Celestial King, as long as he isn’t surrounded, though he might be outmatched, he’s confident he can quickly escape.
Even Extraordinaries are people, not gods.
Compared to himself, Lin Feng is more concerned about Hong Yi.
Celestial Chart demon beast Sha Mi, a being one or two levels higher than the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon.
Though he already had suspicions, for certainty, Lin Feng still needed confirmation.
"The Beast Celestial King’s abilities only affect Demon Spirit Masters, not spirit mediums, but he certainly is interested in Sha Mi’s power. After all, his profession is Beast Control Master, even if what he really controls are humans!"
Celestial King Hai explained.
He knew Hong Yi was a member of the Avengers Alliance, though he wasn’t interested in the alliance.
Perhaps one day the alliance might surprise him, but time wouldn’t wait.
When the Divine Martial Continent truly invades, even Emperors might fall, let alone a group of newly crowned youths.
Aside from surrounding and killing Alfonso, those achievements were, in his eyes, mere child’s play.
Regarding Alfonso, he himself could have defeated him.
"Have you understood the rules for the apostle debut? Are you attending? I’ll remind you, you’ve thoroughly offended the Wind Celestial King and the Beast Celestial King now; if you attend, prepare for the possibility of death ahead of time." Celestial King Hai inquired.
"Understood clearly, attending."
Lin Feng responded without hesitation.
He didn’t care about the debut, but the rewards for the apostle debut were enticing, betting from a Celestial King, not ordinary treasures, Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t miss this rare chance.
"Then, prepare well these few days; your debut starts a week later."
After speaking, Celestial King Hai then looked at Polona Segura: "In these few days, familiarize Lin Feng with the rules and benefits of the Pure Land."
Polona Segura nodded, daring not disagree.
Watching Lin Feng’s departing silhouette, Celestial King Hai smiled faintly: "Don’t play too big, if you do, I might not be able to handle it."
