Chapter 1407: Leaving the Demon Sea

Several days later, in the depths of the Demon Sea, Long Scorpion Island.

Chen Fei lazily straddled the head of the Desolate Demon Lion, the name he had given to the desolate beast lion.

“Is that Long Scorpion Island?” Gazing at the long black line at the edge of his vision, which grew increasingly larger in view, eventually becoming a boundless, vast island, Chen Fei shook his head. This might be more aptly called a small island.

“Yes, that’s Long Scorpion Island.” Chen Ye looked at the familiar Long Scorpion Island, feeling a sense of fantasy. Once again, he had survived and emerged from the Demon Sea. He was fortunate to still be alive.

Nearby, Xin Cai felt as if her past experiences were a dream.

An Ancient King-level entity had safely escorted them out of the Demon Sea.

“Finally made it out alive.” Dugu Qing also whispered, her noble status reduced to this humble scene was unimaginable, but fortunately, she survived the Demon Sea, and…

Dugu Qing’s gaze fell upon the huge creature beneath them, the Desolate Demon Lion. Her beautiful eyes showed a dangerous cold smile and greed.

“Now that we’re here, this king of desolate beasts belongs to our Dugu Family.”

Dugu Qing muttered, then suddenly said to Chen Fei, “Our Dugu Family is on the south side of the island. You saved me this time, as a reward, why don’t you stay at our Dugu Family?”

“Stay at the Dugu Family?” At this, Chen Ye and the others’ expressions changed immediately, looking at Chen Fei, giving him a meaningful look.

Their intuition told them that Dugu Qing must have some scheme.

However, Chen Fei only lightly laughed at the words and nodded in agreement, “Sure, show me the way. Uncle Chen, Xin Cai, are you going?”

Chen Ye and Xin Cai hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads, “We’ll pass. After the Flying Boat of Demon Sea accident, the family surely thinks we’re dead. We must return immediately.”

“Alright then.” Chen Fei nodded, smiling, “In that case, make haste to report. I’ll visit Demon Territory Mountain Island later to catch up.”

“No problem…” Chen Ye nodded, discreetly glanced at Dugu Qing, then gently bowed to her, “Miss Qing, we shall take our leave.”

“Mm.” Dugu Qing slightly nodded, indifferent. Her target was Chen Fei and the top-level treasure medicine he deceived her with, that Desolate Demon Lion beneath them, the king of desolate beasts! Everything else was insignificant.

Afterwards, Chen Ye pulled Xin Cai away, even heading directly to the ticket counter to buy a ticket to the next island.

Because he wanted to immediately distance himself from this trouble.

During this period, he’d gotten somewhat familiar with Chen Fei’s temperament.

If Dugu Qing truly intended to target Chen Fei for revenge, then the Dugu Family’s branch on Long Scorpion Island could face major issues.

The wrath of an Ancient King-level expert could spell disaster, neither Dugu Qing nor even the patriarch of the Dugu Family could easily resolve it.

Watching Chen Ye and Xin Cai leave, Chen Fei calmly said to Dugu Qing, “Miss Qing, lead the way?”

Dugu Qing’s eyes flashed, she deeply looked at Chen Fei, then nodded, “Follow the direction my finger points.”

After speaking, Dugu Qing pointed towards the southern side of Long Scorpion Island. Chen Fei gently patted the head of the Desolate Demon Lion.

Roar!

The Desolate Demon Lion roared, mighty and arrogant, boldly stepping onto Long Scorpion Island, treading above numerous cultivators’ heads towards the south side, home to the Dugu Family.

“Damn! Who’s so arrogant?”

“Shh… Shut up!”

“This lion is at least of Mystic Heaven Position Demon King level, who could possibly tame such a terrifying creature?!”

“Enough, shut up, go about your business. We can’t afford to provoke people like that.”

“Indeed…”

…

The cultivators at the island’s shore stirred and then fell silent.

In this world, where strength reigns supreme, especially in a place like Demon Territory Mountain, where the Demon Clan sets the rules, might makes right!

Being able to ride such a demon comparable to a Mystic Heaven Position Demon King, stepping on their heads is a trivial matter. They might not even resist if asked to kneel or die.

In such circumstances, it’s clear to everyone how to wisely choose.

The Dugu Family wields significant power in Demon Territory Mountain and Demon Sea, so even on the Jun Family’s line of islands, Long Scorpion Island still boasts a branch.

Now, Chen Fei rode the Desolate Demon Lion straight to the Dugu Family’s residence, causing those with ill intentions earlier to be secretly relieved. It turned out he was from the Dugu Family, luckily they weren’t impulsive… otherwise, they’d be in trouble.

After all, the Dugu Family ranks third among the Ten Great Families, no joke. Except for the top two families above them and the true king-level demon clan of Demon Territory Mountain, the Dugu Family is an overlord presence on this map, daring no one to provoke.

The speed of the Desolate Demon Lion was impressive, so before long, within an hour, Dugu Qing directed Chen Fei to a sprawling complex of structures.

“Who goes there?!”

Figures rushed through the void, their cold voices questioning sharply.

How noble is the Dugu Family? Yet now they are being brazenly approached from the sky, which naturally makes them angry.

Obviously, if Chen Fei and his group don’t give an explanation, those experts from the Dugu Family wouldn’t mind killing the Desolate Demon Lion on the spot and then eliminating Chen Fei.

“It’s me.” Dugu Qing revealed herself and conversed with the leader of the group.

“Qing, Miss Qing, you’re not dead?!” The leader of the Dugu Family shrank his pupils, looking at Dugu Qing with surprise and delight. They had already received news of an incident with the Jun Family Haoyang-class Demon Sea Airship and thought Dugu Qing was dead. For this, even the Patriarch of the Dugu Family was in a bad mood.

Because, while Dugu Qing was alive, she was the most beloved granddaughter of their Patriarch.

And now, unexpectedly, Dugu Qing was still alive.

“Greetings, Miss Qing!”

“Greetings, Miss Qing!”

…

The others reacted quickly, slightly bowing to Dugu Qing, retracting their hostility.

The leader was even more excited, saying, “Miss Qing, it’s truly wonderful that you’re unharmed. The news from the Jun Family shocked the whole family, even the Patriarch was unhappy. Now that you are safe, we are relieved.”

“Where is Uncle Eleven?” But it was clear Dugu Qing was not focused on this, her eyes flashed as she asked calmly.

“Returning to Miss Qing, the Patriarch should be in seclusion now. I will go notify him.” As he spoke, the leader’s eyes fell on Chen Fei behind Dugu Qing, as if trying to see through him. This made Chen Fei quite annoyed.

“Dugu Qing, did you call me here just to stand around?” Chen Fei asked calmly.

Immediately, everyone’s expressions changed, and their eyes all locked onto him. Dugu Qing’s status was extremely noble in the Dugu Family, and now this person dared to speak to Miss Qing in such a manner, it was simply audacious!

However, they couldn’t fully understand Chen Fei’s identity at this moment, and since Dugu Qing didn’t say anything, those who were slightly smarter pretended they didn’t hear what Chen Fei said.

But while they could pretend not to hear, certain less intelligent individuals couldn’t.

“How dare you!” came an angry shout, as a man in a blue long robe, surrounded like a star among moons, stepped forward, walking into the void and speaking coldly to Chen Fei: “Who are you to speak like that, hurry and apologize to Sister Qing’er?!”

Instantly, Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling chilly.

“Jun Wushang, shut up!” Dugu Qing sternly scolded him. Though Jun Wushang was the eldest grandson of the Jun Family, he was also a genuine waste, and he had the audacity to pursue her, which she had no affection for at all.

“Sister Qing’er…” Jun Wushang’s expression changed.

“I told you to shut up!” Dugu Qing scolded again, turning to Chen Fei beside her and saying, “Let’s go down.”

“You…” Immediately, Jun Wushang’s face froze, his gaze fixed on Chen Fei, muttering fiercely: “Dare to compete with Jun Wushang for a woman, watch as I don’t kill you!”

Dugu Qing was the most pampered jewel of the Dugu Family, and extremely beautiful. Naturally, as the eldest grandson of the Jun Family, Jun Wushang had thoughts.

If he could gain the support of the Dugu Family, wouldn’t the future Jun Family belong to him, Jun Wushang?!

“Miss Qing, the patriarch is calling for you.” At this moment, the leader returned and bowed slightly to Dugu Qing, whispering.

Dugu Qing’s expression changed slightly, glancing at the distant Chen Fei and the Desolate Demon Lion, whispering to the leader, “Keep watch on him and that lion, don’t let them escape.”

The leader was slightly startled, then a faint cold light appeared in his eyes, glancing at Chen Fei, and nodded.

“Rest assured, Miss Qing, I know what to do.”

“Also, make Jun Wushang leave. I don’t want to see him.” Dugu Qing gazed in disdain at Jun Wushang, frowned, and said.

She didn’t want to see Jun Wushang, one, because she detested him, and two, because of the Desolate Demon Lion.

Though Jun Wushang was a waste, he was still the eldest grandson of the Jun Family, and had knowledge. If he saw through the Desolate Demon Lion’s nature and informed the Jun Family, that would be extremely troublesome.

Because no matter how powerful, Long Scorpion Island was still the territory of the Jun Family.

Here, the Jun Family was the mightiest, the strongest.

“Yes.”

The leader nodded, walked to Jun Wushang, slightly bowed, and said, “Young Master Wushang, our Miss Qing has just returned from the Demon Sea and may not be emotionally stable. In my opinion, it would be better for you to visit her in a few days?”

Seeing that the people of the Dugu Family were speaking to him like this, Jun Wushang’s face immediately turned ashen, for this was clearly an eviction order! Sending him away.

For a long time, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left without saying anything.

“I’ll go see Uncle Eleven first, I’ll be back soon.” Dugu Qing’s eyes flickered with a faint strange color as she spoke to Chen Fei.

“Hmm.” Chen Fei nodded calmly.

Dugu Qing then turned and left.

After she left, the Dugu Family cultivators’ eyes all fell on Chen Fei, continuously scanning him up and down, as if trying to see through him! Inside and out, through and through.
