Effortlessly removing the sentry post without disturbing the camp within the ruins, Ye Longting watched as the subordinates of the Heavenly King Hall infiltrated the ruins, secretly sneering.

Is this the once-in-a-century commander talent?

This is too sparse.

Ye Longting stepped into the ruins, but at that moment, a muffled groan came directly from the direction blocked by a broken wall ahead.

"Not good, there’s an ambush."

This shout immediately alarmed the peaceful morning of the ruins.

Ye Longting’s face darkened, but he didn’t retreat because they were discovered. Originally, they had missed the opportunity before dawn, and the sneak attack had already failed. However, even if it wasn’t a sneak attack, he wasn’t afraid of a frontal assault.

Despite bringing only over a hundred people, while the opponent had more than four hundred, with a disparity in numbers, under Ye Longting’s command were seven or eight Golden Core cultivators, along with support from the Divine Dragon Hall’s two Thirteen Hawks.

Of course, even if his other subordinates were not Golden Core level, it’s important to remember that behind the Ten Demon Hall is the Demon Alliance, so the cultivators of Ten Demon Hall, besides practicing cultivation techniques, also fuse with demon clan bloodlines to gain powerful talents.

Purely through cultivation, reaching the Golden Core stage by thirty is considered genius-level, while some people never enter the Golden Core Realm in their lifetime. But with a demon clan bloodline, modified by demon blood, even if one cannot advance to Golden Core, they can use bloodline power to attain the power of a battle Golden Core.

Moreover, if the two are combined, reaching Golden Core, it might even be stronger than the orthodox cultivation Golden Core.

It can be said that by fusing demon clan bloodline and then cultivating, one can achieve more with less effort, securing a substantial advantage in the early stages, with fast cultivation speed and greater strength.

However, with advantages also come drawbacks: this bloodline cultivation method inherently sets a ceiling on power, and breaking through this ceiling is extremely difficult.

Moreover, while the early cultivation speed might be astonishing, the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes, as it requires dual satisfaction of cultivation level and bloodline level to advance, and this difficulty is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Of course, this is going off on a tangent, but at least below the Golden Core stage, the cultivators of Ten Demon Hall clearly have the upper hand.

So, despite being outnumbered, Ye Longting wasn’t afraid at all. After all, if Li Feng’s trusted aides were strong, that would be one thing, but according to the intel, his trusted aides were just some war slaves from the Duel Arena.

How strong could these war slaves be, merely tools used for entertainment.

Ye Longting thought, striding boldly with his men straight towards the center of the ruins, towards Li Feng and his temporary camp.

But unexpectedly, apart from that initial scream, there was no further fighting, and Ye Longting and his men charged directly to the outskirts of the camp.

Looking at the people gathered in layers, surrounded and protected, Ye Longting immediately recognized Li Feng, and at this time, the people from the Heavenly King Hall who had surrounded them from all sides appeared, encircling the camp.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, do you dare to identify yourself?"

Before Li Feng could speak, Ouyang Qiuhai had already shouted, facing such a situation of being ambushed, Ouyang Qiuhai was not afraid, but rather itching for a fight.

Ye Longting stepped forward, taking off his cloak, his gaze piercing through the three-layer circular formation towards Li Feng and the others.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the General of Heavenly King Hall, Ye Longting."

"Sure enough, a traitor of Ten Demon Hall." Ouyang Qiuhai responded, corner of his mouth twitching with fighting spirit, "What are you waiting for, capture these people from Ten Demon Hall, and we’ll have made a great achievement."

"Qiuhai."

Sikong Yu held back his breath, looking at the eager Ouyang Qiuhai. The appearance of Ten Demon Hall here indicated their movements were already known to the enemy. Since the enemy dared to attack, they must be fully prepared.

"Li Feng, the people from Ten Demon Hall are here, this battle is likely to be a tough one, they’re mostly coming for you, so find a chance to retreat, we’re just a day’s journey away from First Line Pass."

"Moreover, since Qiuhai left, Uncle Ouyang will definitely come south looking for him."

"Li Feng, Commander Li, why don’t you come back with me to the Heavenly King Hall. With your potential, as long as you’re willing to join us, not to mention cultivation resources, even beauties and wealth, glory and riches will be at your fingertips."

"I know your situation in Ancestor Dragon City isn’t good, recognized as a peerless talent by the Martial Strategy Hall, yet suppressed and excluded due to lack of background, even your trusted aides are just failed war slaves bought from the Duel Arena."

"How tragic is that."

"Commander Li, you will have no day to shine in Ancestor Dragon City, no matter how infinite your potential is, potential after all is just potential, you need resources and opportunities to grow, and it’s unlikely Ancestor Dragon City will provide these for you."

"As long as you nod, I promise you, your future will be limitless."

"You’re talking nonsense! A bunch of traitors who turned their backs for glory, willing to be the Demon Ancestor’s dogs to oppose us, and you say there’s a bright future with you, it’s more like there’s no future at all."

"And who told you Li Feng is not appreciated, even our Headmaster values him, wanting to take him as a direct disciple."

"So stop trying to disrupt our morale here, if you’re going to fight, fight, stop talking nonsense."

Ouyang Qiuhai yelled, pointing at Ye Longting.

"You shut up first."

Li Feng told Ouyang Qiuhai, then stepped forward.

"Camp Master."

"Move aside," Li Feng said.

Lei Ba, seeing Li Feng’s expression, waved a hand, splitting the circular formation to create a passage for him, and Li Feng stepped out directly.

"Li Feng, if you dare to defect, I won’t spare you, my father won’t spare you either."

Li Feng paid no heed to Ouyang Qiuhai’s shouting, walking up to Ye Longting: "Are you the leader of these people? Just a General, your words don’t carry much weight. Those promises you made to me, they look like big pies."

"Visible but unattainable, not a bit practical." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Ye Longting looked at Li Feng coming forward, secretly sizing him up. Although the intel was detailed, seeing the real person gave a different feeling.

"You’re right too, if you’re willing, I can take you to meet the Hall Master of Heavenly King Hall. Given your identity as a commander talent, our Hall Master will surely focus on nurturing you."

Li Feng squinted his eyes, smiling slightly at Ye Longting: "Nurture? How do you nurture?"

"I’ve heard the greatest benefit of Ten Demon Hall is gaining demon clan bloodlines for cultivation, and the cultivation speed is very fast."

"But."

Li Feng’s tone changed: "Didn’t your intel tell you that I already have the Vermilion Bird Bloodline?"

"Does your Ten Demon Hall have a bloodline more powerful than the Vermilion Bird Bloodline to offer?"

"As for the money and the beauties you mentioned, heh, if I want money, I’ll never lack it, and as for beauties, do you have anyone as gorgeous as them?"

Hearing this, Ye Longting said: "So, you’re set on refusing the goodwill of my Heavenly King Hall?"

Li Feng shrugged.

"Hey, when negotiating, it’s about coming up with conditions to talk about. I’m just stating a fact, you haven’t offered anything tempting enough for me to betray Ancestor Dragon City. I’m not stupid."

"Why don’t you think about it again?"

Ye Longting frowned, looking at Li Feng, uncertain of his intentions.
