Chapter 1409: Dugu Jingyun

Above the void, the terrifying inextinguishable black flames of the Desolate Demon Lion were still burning fiercely.

Under the firmament, everyone was drenched in cold sweat, staring intently at Chen Fei with fear, awe, and anger!

He actually killed the Seventh Young Master, killed our Dugu Family’s Dugu Wanlie. If the ancestors learned of this, they would all be done for. Does this person still dare to turn against the Dugu Family?

“You, you are truly seeking death!” The leader among them gritted his teeth, staring at Chen Fei while not daring to make a move, frozen in place. His strength was at most a normal Mystic Heaven Position, but that Desolate Demon Lion was a Mystic Heaven Position Demon King, simply not his match.

“Seeking death?”

Chen Fei chuckled, gracefully landing atop the Desolate Demon Lion and lightly placed a finger on the leader’s forehead, with a playful and cold glimmer in his eyes.

“Do you think I’m like those others whom your Dugu Family could bully at will, to mold and shape as you please?”

The leader’s eyes narrowed abruptly, for from the moment Chen Fei floated down from the head of the Desolate Demon Lion to when his finger touched the leader’s forehead, he realized he couldn’t move, suppressed by a mysterious and terrifying aura.

“You, you dare?” Cold sweat dripped from the leader instantly, his face pale, body trembling as he stared at Chen Fei and said shiveringly.

The others also stared at Chen Fei as if facing a great enemy, not daring to utter a single word for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

Now, they seemed to understand that this person was truly a madman, fearing not the might of the Dugu Family and would kill them if he wished.

“Weren’t you all threatening me? So what makes you think there’s something I’d not dare to do?” Chen Fei calmly gazed at the pallid leader. On his finger, strands of True Qi of Purple Firmament began to flow, crackling, causing the other’s skin to burst open, dripping with blood.

“Captain!” The cultivators of the Dugu Family’s eyes tensed up, their expressions turning more fearful because the leader was the captain of their Dugu Family’s Guard, a Mystic Heaven Position expert, yet now so feeble in the opponent’s hands?

“S-sorry. I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai, please spare my life…” In such a scenario, the leader finally yielded, saying in a low voice. For he had now fully realized Chen Fei’s formidable power, too strong, capable of destroying him with a mere wave of his hand.

Such a person, let alone him, even the Dugu Family branch likely wouldn’t dare provoke him.

Damn, what kind of person did Miss Qing provoke?

“Heh.” Seeing this, Chen Fei chuckled in surprise, unexpectedly hearing him plead for mercy.

But since he did beg for mercy, Chen Fei wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. He shook his head, turned around to leave, dropping a sentence.

“Next time, keep your eyes open, Dugu Qing is much more impressive than you.”

The leader’s gaze froze momentarily, then he smiled wryly. Yes, if Dugu Qing weren’t smart, she would’ve immediately ordered Chen Fei’s capture, but she didn’t, showing her intelligence.

Because Dugu Qing had gone to meet the strongest person in the Dugu Family’s Long Scorpion Island branch—Lord Dugu Jingyun.

His strength ranked at least in the top ten, if not top five, of the Dugu Family headquarters.

But unfortunately, he wasn’t smart enough.

At this moment, the leader saw Chen Fei remounting the Desolate Demon Lion to leave, his expression changed, and he said, “Wait a moment.”

“What?” Chen Fei looked back with an evident coldness in his eyes, and said.

“Is there anything else?”

The leader’s whole body trembled, feeling as though he was stared at by a primordial beast, as if he had fallen into an icy cave, trembling with utmost fear, his eyes filled with terror.

“No, nothing, nothing at all.” Ultimately, for the sake of his life, the leader decided not to disobey Dugu Qing’s order. He couldn’t help it, Chen Fei was too strong, he couldn’t afford to provoke him.

“Then, farewell.” Chen Fei chuckled softly, turned around, and patted the Desolate Demon Lion under him.

“Go.”

“Roar!”

The Desolate Demon Lion roared fiercely, leaving without a care.

“C-Captain, he killed the Seventh Young Master, are we really going to just let him leave like this?” The cultivators of the Dugu Family gritted their teeth, asking the leader as they watched Chen Fei leave with disregard.

The leader also gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Let’s go, we can’t manage this matter, let’s go see Lord Jing Yun.”

Meanwhile, as Chen Fei slaughtered with ease and swaggered away from the Dugu Family unscathed, Dugu Qing also arrived at a palace deep within the Dugu Family.

In the palace, an elderly man dressed in luxurious attire was tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Seeing Dugu Qing’s arrival, he smiled and asked, “Qing’er, you’re back? I’m so relieved you’re okay, else it would indeed be a great loss to our Dugu Family. You don’t know, during your absence, Second Uncle was really concerned about you.”

This person was none other than the ruler of the Dugu Family’s Long Scorpion Island branch, the peak expert of Mystic Heaven Position, Dugu Jingyun!

His strength was at least in the top ten, if not top five, of the entire Dugu Family.

“Eleventh Great Uncle.” Dugu Qing slightly bowed, and then, as if finally relaxing the big stone in her heart, sighed and said, “Indeed, who would have thought to encounter such a disaster in the Demon Sea. If not for that person, I might not have returned.”

“That person? Is it the young man who returned with you, who is he?!” Dugu Jingyun asked.

“Yes.” Dugu Qing’s eyes showed a hint of different color, slowly saying, “Yes, Eleventh Great Uncle, his name is Chen Fei, I met him in the Demon Sea, and he escorted me back.”

“Is that so?” Dugu Jingyun nodded slightly, saying, “Then this person is not bad, you can give him some benefits as a reward.”

Speaking of this, Dugu Jingyun paused for a moment and asked, “By the way, I remember Qian Lan should be your guardian, right? So, this time she didn’t come out with you?”

Hearing this, Dugu Qing’s expression dimmed, saying, “No, Grannie Qian Lan was with me this time, it’s just…”

“Just what?” Dugu Jingyun narrowed his eyes, focusing his spirit. Dugu Qianlan and he were people of the same era, and her strength wouldn’t be much weaker than his. Could it be?

“Grannie Qian Lan is already dead.” Dugu Qing’s expression darkened, saying, “After the Jun Family’s Hao Yang Level Monster Sea Flying Boat had an accident, Grannie Qian Lan took me and left. We initially planned to travel through the Demon Sea, but on the way, we unexpectedly found a top-level treasure medicine.”

“Top-level treasure medicine?” Dugu Jingyun’s tone abruptly raised a few degrees, his eyes condensed.

“Yes.” Dugu Qing nodded, and said again, “But when Grannie was picking that top-level treasure medicine, an accident occurred. We didn’t notice that there was actually a Peak of Mystic Heaven Position desolate beast guarding around the medicine. Grannie Qian Lan was accidentally attacked by the beast, and gravely injured on the spot. Later, Grannie used a forbidden technique to seize the top-level treasure medicine, but in the end, the forbidden technique exhausted her life.”

“So that’s how it was.” Dugu Jingyun shook his head, with a complex expression. A Peak of Mystic Heaven Position desolate beast is indeed terrifying. Not to mention Dugu Qianlan, even if he encountered it, it would also be very dangerous, let alone, Dugu Qianlan was ambushed first.

This was completely a natural disaster!

But the Demon Sea and Demon Territory Mountain are just like this. Apart from the Ancient King Level entity, no one can roam the world with impunity at a hundred percent.

“This is also something that couldn’t be helped. You should mourn Qian Lan’s death. However, being able to acquire a top-level treasure medicine could be considered good enough.” Following this, Dugu Jingyun shook his head and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Qing showed a hint of unusual expression, suddenly falling silent.

“What’s wrong?” Dugu Jingyun slightly startled, asked.

“The reward Chen Fei received for bringing me out of the Demon Sea, I gave him that top-level treasure medicine.” Dugu Qing said softly.

Dugu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, a coldness blooming.

“Such audacity!”

“No, Eleventh Great Uncle, listen to me first.” Seeing Dugu Jingyun getting angry, Dugu Qing’s expression changed, saying, “It’s like this, Eleventh Great Uncle, that person is somewhat extraordinary.”

“Extraordinary? In what way?” Dugu Jingyun asked coldly. No matter how extraordinary, daring to claim items from the Dugu Family, especially a top-level treasure medicine, what is this if not wild ambition?!

“He might be a Peak Expert of Mystic Heaven Position.”

Dugu Qing slowly said, hesitated for a moment, then spoke with an unusual look in her eyes, “In the Demon Sea, I saw him subdue a Mystic Heaven Position Demon King level desolate beast with my own eyes.”

“Is that so?” Dugu Jingyun’s brows furrowed at once. To subdue a Mystic Heaven Position Demon King level desolate beast, it is indeed seventy to eighty percent likely he is a peak Mystic Heaven Position level person.

No wonder he dares to be so arrogant, daring to take a top-level treasure medicine from the Dugu Family.

“What is this person’s background, do you know? Is he from inside our Demon Territory Mountain, or from outside?” Dugu Jingyun followed up and asked.

If Chen Fei is indeed a peak Mystic Heaven Position person, then his previous thoughts would need to be changed, with careful consideration.

“I don’t know.” Dugu Qing directly shook her head. She really didn’t know Chen Fei’s background.

“However, I think he should be from outside.” Dugu Qing followed up and said.

“Is that so?” Dugu Jingyun furrowed his brows deeper, murmuring, “That would be a bit troublesome.”

In Demon Territory Mountain, no force, including the Ten Great Families, would easily provoke any unknown peak Mystic Heaven Position expert.

One reason is that they have a vast enterprise and can’t afford to rock the boat, and the other is that a peak Mystic Heaven Position person is already a tremendously terrifying existence that cannot be taken lightly.

At this time, Dugu Qing suddenly had something to say but hesitated. During this period of contact, to be honest, she found Chen Fei to be a very frightening and highly capricious person. If it were just a top-level treasure medicine, she was prepared to let it go, but now the problem was that beast king…

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Dugu Qing hesitating, Dugu Jingyun asked again.

In the face of a peak Mystic Heaven Position person, even he has to pay attention.

“The Mystic Heaven Position Demon King level desolate beast Chen Fei subdued seems to be a King of Desolate Beasts!” Dugu Qing finally said it out, as it was a matter of great importance, she didn’t dare to hide it.

“What?!”

Swoosh, Dugu Jingyun suddenly stood up, his pupils constricted, staring at Dugu Qing tightly.
