Chapter 684: Chapter 684: The Taller the Tree, the More Wind It Catches

“Qiao Shaofeng and the Nine-tailed Fox Woman have appeared; even the two hidden Imperial Families are marching on Corpse Emperor Mountain. It seems this trip won’t be so difficult after all.”

Many members of the Demon Clan breathed a sigh of relief. Qilin, Nine-tailed, and adding in Golden Crow and Suan Ni made up the Four Great Royal Families. With the Royal Families from the Demon Beast Realm advancing on Corpse Emperor Mountain, they would undoubtedly bear the brunt of the pressure!

“Jin Lie, Suan Tian, it is rumored that you two were defeated by a Peacock—is it true?”

Qiao Shaofeng of the Kirin Royal Family fixed his gaze on Jin Lie and Suan Tian, his eyes full of mockery.

With Qiao Shaofeng publicly uncovering their wounds, the expressions of Jin Lie and Suan Tian turned exceedingly ugly. Being defeated by Lin Yi had always been a sore point for the two of them.

Jin Lie, refusing to accept this, said in a low voice, “Qiao Shaofeng, don’t be too proud. Kong Linyun is a Heavenly Pride from the Peacock Clan who has been kept hidden, possessing the Phoenix Nine Slashes. You might not be his match either!”

“Do you think I’m like you two wastes, losing face for our Imperial Family?”

Qiao Shaofeng’s face was filled with disdain, “After the venture to Corpse Emperor Mountain is over, this Young Master will personally take action to suppress that Peacock and defend the honor of our Imperial Family.”

Upon hearing this, a tumultuous buzz sparked outside Corpse Emperor Mountain. Qiao Shaofeng wants to suppress Kong Linyun? This was big news—it looked like another grand battle between young Supremes was about to unfold!

“It really is the case of ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall.’ Right out of the gate and already targeted by the Kirin Royal Family!”

Kong Lingxiang shook her head; Lin Yi’s fame in the Demon Beast Realm was too great, especially since he had defeated Jin Lie and Suan Tian, two Heavenly Prides of the Royal Families. This caused these young Supremes from hidden Imperial Families, upon entering the world, to want to suppress Lin Yi!

“The Qilin are from a hidden Imperial Family, not to be compared with the Golden Crow or the Suan Ni. This Qiao Shaofeng in particular was invincible for an era, unmatched by anyone!”

The one speaking was a Quasi-Saint from the Peacock Clan named Kong Sheng, an elder with profound cultivation and a key force for the Peacock Clan’s advance into Corpse Emperor Mountain.

Even he had a solemn expression in his eyes, indicating that this Qiao Shaofeng was truly extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi cupped his chin, pondering aloud, “I’ve never tasted Qilin meat; I’d like to try it.”

This statement left the people of the Peacock Clan dumbfounded, staring at Lin Yi in disbelief.

Was this kid serious?

The Kirin Royal Family, renowned since Ancient Times, who among the Ten Thousand Clans could contend with them? Even the Golden Crow and Suan Ni stood no chance against them. Hidden from the world for a millennium, their emergence shakes the entire Demon Beast Realm, causing all of the Demon Clan to shudder!

In everyone’s heart, there was only reverence for the Kirin Royal Family, and no second thoughts—yet Lin Yi, this guy, was actually thinking about eating Qilin meat?

What on earth was going through his mind? His courage was truly boundless!

However, Kong Lingxiang didn’t believe Lin Yi was just talking tough. This guy had eaten a Green Luan Wing from Luan Yu and devoured nine Netherworld Snakes; his brutal ruthlessness was known to all, and his desire to eat Qilin meat was definitely not an empty threat.

Lin Yi’s voice was soft, yet it reached the ears of the Qilin Clan, inciting rage in Qiao Shaofeng on the spot, “This boy is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to blaspheme my Kirin Royal Family? I’ll suppress him right now!”

“No.”

A Quasi-Saint from the Qilin Clan stopped him, “Right now, the most important thing is the matter on Corpse Emperor Mountain. Set your priorities straight for now and let this boy go.”

“Then I’ll let him off for the time being.”

Qiao Shaofeng’s eyes were ice cold as he glanced at Lin Yi from a distance, “I will personally suppress this boy!”

“Let’s go!”

With that, Qiao Shaofeng led the powerful members of the Kirin Clan and charged into Corpse Emperor Mountain.

The strange Barrier posed no impediment to the members of the Kirin Royal Family.

After the Kirin Clan set off, the Nine-tailed Fox Woman, with a light step, also led the strong members of her clan to flicker into the Barrier.

Following these two clans, the Golden Crow, Suan Ni, Green Bird, and other great Demon Clans all began to move, a dense swarm of powerful beings entering Corpse Emperor Mountain, breaking the silence of this No Man’s Forbidden Zone!

With the major forces advancing on Corpse Emperor Mountain, the Peacock Clan naturally joined them. Corpse Emperor Mountain was too dangerous for any one clan to enter alone. Only by joining forces and sticking together could they avoid the annihilation of an entire clan.

One should know that this was a notorious Forbidden Land where even Saints might fall—a place most mysterious and perilous in this world.

Once, there was a highly-regarded top Royal Family of the Demon Beast Realm called the Swallowing Sky Sparrow Clan. The Clan Leader of the Swallowing Sky Sparrow Clan, undefeated below the Royal Family, devoured countless beings and his fearsome reputation shook all domains. Yet, he met his end in Corpse Emperor Mountain.

Corpse Emperor Mountain—what a terrifyingly dangerous place! Yet, upon setting foot in it, Lin Yi and others discovered this Forbidden Zone to be quite different from what they had imagined. Their vision was filled with lush forests and ancient flora thriving in abundance—an oasis of tranquility and beauty.

It was hard to believe that this was Corpse Emperor Mountain.

“There must be many Ancient Treasures and delicious delicacies here!”

Lin Yi took a deep breath, and a rich Spiritual Energy from Ancient Times hit him head-on, allowing him to completely relax.

Joining the Peacock Clan in this area were many strong members of various Demon Clans. At the sight of Lin Yi, their complexions turned pale, their eyes filled with fear.

“Peacock Demon King, please don’t kill me!”

“My flesh doesn’t taste good!”

A young girl with two rabbit ears, trembling violently, screamed at the top of her lungs.
