Seeing how panicked the youth looked,
Only then did he discover that within the dark clouds on all sides, there were actually armies of thousands.
But Chu Feng could tell at a glance that they were demon beasts — their eyes were green, their hair was green, their ears were not human ears, and they had sharp fangs and pointed teeth.
Although most of their features resembled those of humans, they were undeniably demon beasts.
"What are these guys?" Chu Feng asked the youth.
"These guys are members of the Ancient Demon Clan. They're enemies with my Ancient War Clan — we're doomed. They actually found us this quickly."
As the youth spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed the token at his waist, then suddenly squeezed with all his strength and shattered the token to pieces.
Chu Feng knew what the youth was trying to do. He didn't want the Ancient Demon Clan members to know that he was from the Ancient War Clan, so he destroyed the token.
It seemed the Ancient War Clan and the Ancient Demon Clan were hostile factions.
"Actually, you don't need to be afraid of them," Chu Feng said.
"Holy crap, dude — you really are clueless, aren't you? Don't tell me you don't know how vicious the Ancient Demon Clan is?"
Seeing how unfazed Chu Feng was, the youth's eyes were filled with shock. The way he looked at Chu Feng was the way one would look at an idiot.
"They're nothing but a bunch of half-emperors. The strongest among them is only a fifth-grade half-emperor. With this level of strength, they can't hurt you today." Chu Feng patted the youth on the shoulder.
The youth was only a first-grade Martial Emperor, so naturally he was terrified facing these half-emperor powerhouses.
However, Chu Feng was a ninth-grade half-emperor, so no matter how many of them there were, he didn't take them seriously in the slightest.
"Brother, you…" Seeing how composed Chu Feng was, the youth's gaze toward him shifted once more. He suddenly realized that Chu Feng didn't seem clueless at all — rather, he appeared to have everything under control.
In that moment, the youth felt that perhaps the person before him really could handle this army of demon clan members.
"How dare you, humans — you dare trespass on the territory of our Ancient Demon Clan? Are you tired of living?"
Before long, the so-called Ancient Demon Clan members had surrounded Chu Feng and the youth completely.
However, although there were thousands of demon clan members in the dark clouds, only four descended. These four were all first-grade half-emperors.
Clearly, they didn't consider Chu Feng and the youth to be worth worrying about at all.
"My lords, we were only lost — we didn't mean to intrude into your territory. Please, spare our lives!"
At that moment, the youth actually dropped to his knees with a thud, begging for mercy in the most humble manner, bearing none of the bearing one would expect from a young master of the Ancient War Clan.
He had indeed believed, for a moment, that Chu Feng might be able to handle these demon clan members.
But that thought had lasted only an instant. The moment these demon clan members approached him, the moment he felt the overwhelming aura of half-emperors, he instantly realized that they were doomed.
Begging for mercy was their only chance of survival.
"Get up. Why kneel to them? A man should have dignity." Chu Feng yanked the youth to his feet.
"Oh ho, so you've got dignity, huh? Let me ask you — which is more important, dignity or your life?" One of the Ancient Demon Clan members regarded Chu Feng with an odd look.
"Naturally, both dignity and life are important," Chu Feng replied.
"What if you had to choose one?" the demon clan member asked in a mocking tone.
"That's a difficult choice. It's just… you're not qualified to make me choose." Chu Feng gave a slight smile, though that smile was laden with meaning.
"We're not qualified?" Hearing this, the Ancient Demon Clan members' faces twisted with rage.
"Let alone you — even that fifth-grade half-emperor hiding up there doesn't have the right to say such things to me." Chu Feng pointed at the dark cloud where the fifth-grade half-emperor was concealed.
"You…" At that moment, the Ancient Demon Clan members were actually afraid.
Not only were they afraid — even the fifth-grade half-emperor hidden within the clouds showed a look of shock on his face.
He had concealed his cultivation. Ordinarily, unless someone's strength surpassed his own, it would be absolutely impossible to see through his cultivation.
But now, Chu Feng had seen through it at a single glance. There could only be one explanation — Chu Feng's strength exceeded his own.
"Who exactly are you?" At that moment, a solemn voice echoed from within the clouds, belonging to the fifth-grade half-emperor.
"If you insist on an answer, then I can only say — I'm someone you cannot afford to provoke." After saying this, Chu Feng waved his hand dismissively toward the sky. "Now go. While I'm not yet angry, disappear from my sight. Otherwise… you'll regret it."
"You…" Facing such humiliating words from Chu Feng, the Ancient Demon Clan members were even more furious, yet… not a single one dared to make a move against him.
