Chapter 22: Fire Devils

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“ROAR!”

Sounds of roaring echoed from the forest. Lin Feng and Murong Xue encountered an ambush by over ten gigantic wolves. These gigantic wolves were about seven to eight meters tall and had terrifying strength. The two of them had to fight for over one hour before they managed to kill all the wolves. After that, they were completely drained of energy and had to hurry and find a place to rest.

“Is the route correct? We have already encountered five waves of wild beasts,” Murong Xue grumbled.

Lin Feng and Murong Xue needed to go to a place named the Skybreak Cliff. Lin Feng had gone there before; hence, he knew the route. This was why he asked Murong Xue to follow his lead. However, the journey there was beset by countless dangers. Lin Feng then replied, “Don’t worry, it’s absolutely correct. This place has always been extremely dangerous. I heard that in the depths of the forest, there are a bunch of fire devils living there. At that time, we have to be extremely cautious when we cross their territory.”

“What? There are fire devils? And we have to pass through their territory?” The expression on Murong Xue’s charming face changed.

Fire devils were a type of ferocious beast that lived in groups. They were able to unleash fire-based attacks. Hence, ordinary people basically wouldn’t dare to antagonize them.

“Is it possible to bypass them?” Murong Xue frowned.

Lin Feng spoke, “From what I know, there’s only a single path.”

Murong Xue nodded her head.

After resting for a while, Lin Feng and Murong Xue set off again. When they were traveling near the territory of the fire devils, they encountered the attack of a fire devil.

Fire devils resembled giant apes, but their bodies were cloaked in flames. Also, they had horns on their heads, but instead of fur, their bodies were covered with scales.

That fire devil was extremely strong. It should be a leader-existence among fire devils. Lin Feng and Murong Xue felt extremely strenuous when dealing with it.

….

“That’s the roar of a fire devil!” Sun Kui shouted loudly.

“Let’s head over there for a look!” Yuwen Yunfeng spoke agitatedly.

He had been searching for the territory of the fire devils. When he heard roars in the air, he understood that his targeted location was already not far away.

That fire devil, which had been fighting against Lin Feng and Murong Xue, could see a group of hundred cultivators in the distance. This was why it decided to give up on attacking the two of them. It then rushed into a ravine not far away. That place should be the entrance of the fire devils’ territory.

“People from the Soul Devouring Hall.”

When Lin Feng noticed Sun Kui, his expression changed.

He and Murong Xue quickly ran deeper into the dense forest and hid behind a giant rock.

Very soon, the people of the Soul Devouring Hall arrived.

Li Tianshang, one of the leaders of this expedition from the Soul Devouring Hall, spoke in a puzzled manner, “Earlier, why did the fire devil roar?”

“Maybe it saw us? That was why it roared to give signals to the other fire devils,” Sun Kui spoke in a musing tone.

Yuwen Yunfeng nodded. “That’s possible.”

Their thoughts didn’t wander off in other directions because when Lin Feng and Murong Xue had fought against that fire devil earlier, they were still very far away. They didn’t notice Lin Feng and Murong Xue at all.

“It’s Yuwen Yunfeng.” When Murong Xue saw Yuwen Yunfeng who was in the lead, her eyes flared with killing intent.

“Why? There’s a grudge between you two?” Lin Feng asked.

“A year ago, I went out with a few sect members to temper ourselves. We saw Yuwen Yunfeng leading a group of experts of the devil-path massacring a small town. Over ten thousand people were annihilated. The reason for this was because Yuwen Yunfeng wanted to practice a devil-path secret art that requires human lives as the price. And for that, he didn’t hesitate to slaughter an entire town.”

The evil nature of the Soul Devouring Hall was widely known, but Lin Feng didn’t expect that they would actually be willing to kill so many innocent people just to practice their evil arts. Such behavior was simply sickening.

Lin Feng replied, “This man is truly hateful.”

“The Soul Devouring Hall is filthy and evil; everyone has a responsibility to kill them.” Murong Xue gritted her teeth as she spoke.

“They are coming. We better conceal ourselves well,” Lin Feng spoke in a low voice.

Not long later, Yuwen Yunfeng and the others walked over. Lin Feng and Murong Xue held their breaths to avoid detection.

They heard Sun Kui’s fawning voice, “Young master, the territory of the fire devils is up ahead.”

“We have finally arrived here. In the territory of the fire devils, a portion of fire devil fluid would be generated every ten years. Now, the ten years cycle has just coincidentally arrived. As long as I can obtain the fire devil fluid, my cultivation can directly breakthrough to the tenth-level of the Martial Master Realm. At that time, I will only be one step away from the Martial General Realm.” Yuwen Yunfeng revealed an incomparably complacent smile.

Twenty years old with a cultivation base soon to be at the tenth-level of Martial Master Realm. He could be called a genius!

“Young master is innately gifted and excels in cultivation. In the future, you will definitely be a character that awes the 3,000 provinces of the Skymartial Continent.” Sun Kui and the others continued to fawn over him. Upon hearing these voices filled with reverence and respect, Yuwen Yunfeng had a satisfied look on his face. After that, they headed into the fire devils’ territory.

At this moment, Lin Feng whispered, “Did you hear their words? They are talking about the fire devil fluid. The [Strange Creatures Index] recorded that fire devil fluid is a type of spiritual liquid of heaven and earth. Such a treasure can be used to refine one’s body and increase one’s cultivation. It’s truly considered a type of heavenly ingredient and earthly treasure.”

Murong Xue replied, “No wonder this Yuwen Yunfeng would come all the way here to the Desolate Forest. It’s actually for the sake of seeking the fire devil fluid.”

Lin Feng continued, “That’s a spiritual treasure of the world. It is extremely rare. If we missed this opportunity, we might not be able to encounter such a chance again in the future. If there’s a chance, I naturally don’t mind to snatch the fire devil fluid from Yuwen Yunfeng.”

A moment later, Lin Feng added, “In addition, up ahead is the territory of the fire devils, and many fire devils live there. If Yuwen Yunfeng and his group wanted to get the fire devil fluid, they had to first deal with these fire devils. During that time, that would be our opportunity.”

Murong Xue also had a look of interest on her face. “In that case, let us play the role of an oriole, waiting as the mantis stalks the cicada. We will seize the fire devil fluid and make Yuwen Yunfeng return empty-handed.”

Lin Feng and Murong Xue then hurriedly entered the territory of the fire devils as well. When they arrived outside the place, they could hear heaven-shaking and earth-shattering noises ringing out from within. That leader-like existence among fire devils that had attacked Lin Feng and Murong Xue earlier was now leading a group of fire devils as it rushed out. They were only a few hundred meters away from Yuwen Yunfeng’s group and were prepared for a clash with them.
