Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1065 - 1075: Elephant King

Chu Feng didn't expect the internal division within the Demon Race to be so severe; they were sharply segregated. Each faction occupied its territory without interfering with each other.

Even if the Black Tiger Demon General were on its own, it would be unlikely to cross the Demon Sea Fierce Land.

This showed just how strong the territorial awareness was among the Three Great Demon Kings.

This behavior is an inherent instinct of beasts. From the moment they are born, the awareness of territory is subtly ingrained in their minds. Their parents teach them that if they trespass into someone else's domain, at best, they may be expelled, triggering a war.

At worst, they might be killed.

Even after attaining the level of a demon beast, this territorial awareness is still strictly adhered to by all demon beasts.

Compared to humans, their civilization is ultimately much more primitive. Their habits are also considerably different.

Between human countries, although boundaries are clear, personnel from various countries can still move between them. Take Chu Feng, for example, who often moves between countries.

"Master, you need to be mentally prepared. Dan State, a human territory at the rear of the Demon Sea Fierce Land, has likely already been occupied by the Elephant King," the Black Tiger Demon General hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.

It was very intelligent and guessed approximately why Chu Feng was heading to Dan State.

If it guessed right, Chu Feng was surely going to rescue someone.

"How formidable is the Elephant King? To cross the Demon Sea Fierce Land, do we just need to pass through the territories of the Two-headed Lion Demon King and the Elephant King?" Chu Feng asked again.

"The Elephant King is terrifying as it possesses the ability to foresee the future. If you intend to pass through its territory, it's best to give up that idea. Because as soon as you think about it, before you even reach its territory, it already knows."

Upon mentioning the Elephant King, the Black Tiger Demon General trembled all over.

The fear of the Elephant King was apparent.

That the Elephant King possessed the ability to foresee the future was unexpected, leaving Chu Feng with a sense of despair.

Perhaps if he simply stayed in the Divine Martial Continent, his brother and sister-in-law wouldn't meet their end anytime soon.

The urgency to rush to Dan State could instead harm them. If the Elephant King sensed it, it might ambush Chu Feng halfway and even take pre-emptive action against his brother and sister-in-law.

"I hope the heavens protect my brother and sister-in-law from harm!" Chu Feng prayed silently.

The journey to rescue in Dan State was full of twists and turns and frequent obstructions.

Ultimately, it came down to Chu Feng being too weak.

If he were stronger, he could care less about the Two-headed Lion Demon King or the Elephant King; he would slice them all down with a single sword.

As it stands, the only way to elevate his cultivation to above the level of the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God in the shortest amount of time is to venture into the Qiankun Immortal Emperor's Tomb and seek great opportunity.

...

After leaving the Black Tiger Demon General, Chu Feng felt heavy-hearted. He continuously pondered over entering the Qiankun Immortal Emperor's Tomb for exploration.

Putting aside the dangers of entering the Immortal Emperor's Tomb, even if Chu Feng wished to enter, he couldn't find the entrance.

Only two people know about this matter.

One is the Scholar Qin Jian, whose life and death are currently unknown. He may have been killed by the Two-headed Lion Demon King.

The other person is Ye Wu from the Penglai Auction.

If he had another choice, Chu Feng wouldn't want to seek her out.

He decided to make a trip back to Azure Dragon City first, to bid farewell to his wives. Additionally, through Li Shishi, he might get some clues about the whereabouts of Scholar Qin Jian.

As for the Great Chu Empire's frontlines, there wasn't much point in Chu Feng staying here any longer.

Letting Wen Shu and Fang Xuanling and others hold the fort was the best course of action.

No matter how strong the Two-headed Lion Demon King was, it was far from being able to easily defeat the Great Chu Empire. Furthermore, both the Black Tiger Demon General and the Flame Lion Demon General were inside agents who secretly hinder progress.

The Great Chu Empire was temporarily not in danger of destruction.

It was a golden opportunity to seize this precious time to work on enhancing his cultivation level. When the time came, the Great Chu Empire could turn from defense to offense.

With his mind made up, Chu Feng bid farewell to Wen Shu and Fang Xuanling, mounted Jin Que, and flew toward Azure Dragon City as fast as he could.

At present, Jin Que's cultivation level was two minor realms higher than Chu Feng's. Its flying speed was almost like a bolt of lightning.

Four days later, Chu Feng arrived in Azure Dragon City.

Getting close with his beautiful wives and concubines, needless to say.

Inside the Imperial Palace study, Chu Feng sat on the Dragon Chair, "Shishi, I sent a message to you a couple of days ago to inquire about the whereabouts of Scholar Qin Jian. Any news?"

"Not yet. Since Scholar Qin Jian appeared at the Penglai Auction, there's been no further information about him. Rumor has it that he may have perished," Li Shishi pondered for a moment, then added, "So far, my intelligence network can generally cover the entire Divine Martial Continent. But there are some areas we can't reach, like the Four Great Super Forces and Sword Immortal City! Scholar Qin Jian might also be hiding in Sword Immortal City for seclusion and healing."

Given Scholar Qin Jian's status, he likely had the means to own a residence in Sword Immortal City.

If he hadn't been killed by the Two-headed Lion Demon King, he was likely recuperating in Sword Immortal City.

Chu Feng couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

It seemed like the quickest way to venture into the Immortal Emperor's Tomb was to seek out that enchantress Ye Wu.

"Shishi, I might be away for a while again. During this time, Xiao Ying and the others won't bully you, will they?" Chu Feng asked, filled with tenderness and compassion for Li Shishi.

Among all of Chu Feng's women, Li Shishi's status was the lowest.

Yet she never fought for anything.

She remained loyal to Chu Feng, quietly dedicating everything she had. This only made Chu Feng care for her more.

He feared she might suffer any grievance.

"Of course not! The other sisters treat me very well. Master doesn't need to worry about me. Out there, you must take care of yourself. Because the rest of us will be waiting for your return in Azure Dragon City!"

Li Shishi gazed fondly at Chu Feng.

"Mmm, I will return safely!" Chu Feng nodded emphatically, then flashed a mischievous smile. "I won't let you all wait alone, don't worry!"

"Master is so naughty, even at a time like this, you can't be serious." Li Shishi, understanding the implication of Chu Feng's words, blushed deeply, scolding coquettishly.

Chu Feng left the Imperial Palace with hearty laughter.

A slim figure blocked the road ahead.

"Third Brother!"

Chu Yun's eyes were red, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Second Sister, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Chu Feng could tell with one look that his second sister had cried. An overwhelming killing intent emanated from Chu Feng.

Which bastard dared to bully his sister? Who had the audacity to provoke his family?

Even a dog would be judged by its owner.

Chu Feng was the Emperor of the Great Chu Empire. His sister Chu Yun was the Princess, with an esteemed status. How dare someone bully her to the point of tears?

As her younger brother, he must stand up for her.

Chu Yun's lips moved, but before she could speak, tears started streaming down again.
