"Chu Feng, you truly keep bringing me one surprise after another." Baili Xuankong looked at Chu Feng with a beaming smile.
Seeing how excited the Yaojiao demon beasts were, he already understood — they truly regarded Chu Feng as their great benefactor. From now on, among these Yaojiao demon beasts, there probably wouldn't be a single one who dared to cause trouble for Chu Feng.
Not only that, but at a time when the four great Imperial Clans were sparing no effort to kill Chu Feng, the Yaojiao demon beasts — this powerful force — were willing to shelter him. That was absolutely wonderful news.
Afterward, the Yaojiao demon beasts held a grand banquet in the largest plaza within their territory. First, they announced the news that Yaojiao Tingyu had received the Dragon King's inheritance to the entire clan, and the whole race celebrated in jubilation.
Second, they used the collective strength of the entire clan to express their gratitude to Chu Feng, ensuring that every single Yaojiao demon beast would remember what their great benefactor, Chu Feng, looked like.
The banquet lasted a full three days and three nights, yet there was still no sign of it ending. After inquiring, Chu Feng learned that they intended to hold it for a full ten days and ten nights before they would call it quits.
Although the Yaojiao demon beasts wanted Chu Feng to stay here permanently, Chu Feng himself did not wish to remain.
First, he didn't want to bring trouble upon the Yaojiao demon beasts. After all, there was no wall in the world thick enough to keep a secret.
Among the Yaojiao demon beasts, there had been scum like Yaojiao Ba and Yaojiao Xueran — which meant there were certainly others like them as well.
While the majority of the Yaojiao demon beasts truly regarded Chu Feng as their benefactor and were endlessly grateful, Chu Feng felt that a portion of the war faction's Yaojiao demon beasts surely viewed him as an enemy.
After all, Yaojiao Ba had been in the clan for so long that he must have had die-hard loyalists. If those loyalists leaked the news that Chu Feng was in the Yaojiao royal clan, and the four great Imperial Clans came here with their combined might to crush them, even the Yaojiao royal clan wouldn't be able to hold them off.
At that point, not only would Chu Feng himself be doomed, but the entire Yaojiao royal clan would suffer. The cost would far outweigh the benefit, and he couldn't bear that responsibility.
So Chu Feng sought out Yaojiao Guang and Yaojiao Tingyu, because he had something to discuss with them.
…………
At this moment, Chu Feng, Hong Qiang, Baili Xuankong, Yaojiao Tingyu, and Yaojiao Guang arrived in a quiet side hall.
"Oh, Tingyu — ninth-grade half-emperor. The power of a Beast Emperor really is something." Looking at Yaojiao Tingyu, who now possessed the cultivation of a ninth-grade half-emperor, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
"Lord Dragon King's power is indeed incredibly strong. I don't mean to boast, but with this power supporting me, I'm confident that within a year, I can step into the Martial Emperor realm," Yaojiao Tingyu said with evident delight.
And who could blame her for her excitement? After all, just three days ago she had been a half-emperor, and now she was a ninth-grade half-emperor — and her aura was still growing. How could she not be thrilled? Never mind her; anyone in her place would be ecstatic beyond belief.
"Tingyu, you're being too modest. It won't take a year at all — three months at most, half a month at the least, and you'll become a first-grade Martial Emperor," Chu Feng said.
"Really that fast?" Hearing this, Yaojiao Tingyu's face lit up with wild joy, and she jumped to her feet in excitement. After everything that had happened, she now trusted Chu Feng absolutely. Almost anything he said, she believed without question.
"I wouldn't lie to you. After all, I am a Dragon-marked Spirit World Master," Chu Feng said with a grin.
"A Dragon-marked Spirit World Master? Young friend Chu Feng, are you saying you've already become a Dragon-marked Spirit World Master?" At those words, Yaojiao Guang, who was standing nearby, was stunned.
"Chu Feng, so you not only broke through to eighth-grade half-emperor, but you've also become a Dragon-marked Spirit World Master?" At the same time, Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang looked at Chu Feng with expressions of wild elation.
