Regarding the deeply hateful gaze from Yain Xue, Ling Feng had naturally noticed it long ago. In fact, this was precisely the effect he desired.

First harshly crush him, then slay him!

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, the culprit who provoked the war between the two clans was enjoying a feast in his palace.

On his desk, there was a large map made of beast hide. As he watched his territory expand day by day, his ambition was swelling tremendously.

"Your Majesty, we have good news from the Heavenly Blue Plateau!"

"Hmm, good, very good!"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor raised the goblet in front of him and drank it all in one go, laughing heartily.

However, when his gaze fell on the Black Water Plain, a tint of anger arose.

Even though the Demon Clan's army had almost achieved complete victory, this particular Black Water Plain had not yet been fully captured, and there was even a trend of being retaken by the Human Clan.

"What is that Black Jiao Demon King doing? Useless! I even sent a large army from the Scaled Demon Clan to support, yet they were driven back fifty miles. Useless, all just wine sacks and rice bags!"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor stood up abruptly, his gaze sweeping through the demons in the hall until it landed on a man in a black robe wearing a ghost mask.

This man was filled with evil energy, but clearly, he was human, not of the Demon Clan.

"Ghost-faced Demon Lord, is the Supreme Lotus Seed that your Blood God Sect is refining for me not yet completed? My patience is running thin!"

It turned out that the man in the black robe was none other than Ling Feng's nemesis, Ghost-faced Demon Lord, Lin Canglang!

The Ghost-faced Demon Lord bowed slightly to the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Lotus Seed, being a supreme treasure, cannot be refined so easily. However, rest assured, my Sect Hierarch and I will spare no effort to refine the Supreme Lotus Seed successfully."

"The day the Lotus Seed emerges will be the day Your Majesty ascends to the throne of the Demon Emperor!"

"Hmm, hmm!"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor stared at the Ghost-faced Demon Lord, taking a deep breath. Before obtaining the Supreme Lotus Seed, he would have to endure temporarily.

A few months ago, the Ghost-faced Demon Lord and Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch had recruited evil cultivators in the Southern Border Demon Domain, establishing the power of the Blood God Sect and wildly hunting demons, thus attracting the attention of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor.

Afterward, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor learned that this Blood God Sect aimed to refine the so-called "Supreme Lotus Seed," and the two sides inexplicably became accomplices.

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor instigated the war between humans and demons, partly to expand his territory and partly because the refinement of the "Supreme Lotus Seed" required a large amount of blood essence.

Nothing could cause more casualties than war.

In this war, the bodies of the fallen would undoubtedly be transported to a secret location, serving as nourishment for the "Supreme Lotus Seed."

One could say that for the sake of becoming a Demon Emperor, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor treated the lives of his fellow demons as mere grass.

This kind of ruthless heart indeed shared a similar odor with Lin Canglang and the likes.

However, true trust between these two was non-existent.

It could only be said that they were temporarily cooperating.

Both parties were well aware of this, yet neither pointed it out.

"Your Majesty, as long as you continually provide corpses, the refinement of the Supreme Lotus Seed will be just a matter of one or two months," the Ghost-faced Demon Lord said with a sinister smile.

"Hmm, that is barely acceptable news."

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor nodded, once again looking at the map on the table, asking coldly, "Who is the commander in the Black Water Plain area? This Human Clan army seems to be somewhat tough to chew!"

"To report to Your Majesty, the Human Clan's army in the Black Water Plain is under the banner of the Sky Peak Camp, with General Wei Yuan, Ling Feng, as the commander."

"Ling Feng? I've never heard of him before. It seems he has no fame in the Southern Border, right?"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor squinted his eyes, feeling strange. He was well aware of the highly decorated Upper Generals within the Tianmang Fortress.

"Ling Feng!"

However, the Ghost-faced Demon Lord's eyelids twitched violently. Although many bore the name Ling Feng, upon hearing it, the Ghost-faced Demon Lord immediately confirmed that this General Wei Yuan was indeed the disciple who had joined the Wenxian Sect back in the day.

The Ghost-faced Demon Lord clenched his fist, a trace of cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Ghost-faced Demon Lord, do you know this Ling Feng?"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor looked at Lin Canglang, smiling playfully.

"Not only do I know him, but he's also an 'old friend,'" the Ghost-faced Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh? Then is the Demon Lord interested in personally leading troops to meet this old friend of yours?"

The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor stared at Lin Canglang, smiling faintly.

"Your Majesty jests. With the imminent emergence of the Supreme Lotus Seed, meeting an old friend is not something to rush," Lin Canglang said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

"Alright, with such loyalty from the Demon Lord, once I become the Demon Emperor, you shall have the first merit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two schemers, with fake smiles on their faces and hearts full of disdain, displayed utter hypocrisy.

Afterward, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor learned that the main force of the Sky Peak Camp was the Black Armored Cavalry Army. After much deliberation, he decided to temporarily slow down the offensive on the Black Water Plain area.

This, indirectly, aided the implementation of Ling Feng's plan.

Composed of Long Fei daring to infiltrate the Dark Dragon Palace disguised as a Demon anymore, it's something the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor couldn't think of, even if he had a hundred brains.

...

Dark Dragon Palace.

Soon, the hour of rest had passed, and the one thousand contestants who had successfully passed the first trial were, under the arrangement of the disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace, slowly entering a narrow valley.

This valley was flanked by enormous peaks, like two giant towering swords, standing upright, reaching into the clouds.

At the forefront of the peaks, a black and a white gigantic Divine Dragon were carved, the grandeur of which was awe-inspiring.

Only by passing through this valley could one truly enter the interior of the Dark Dragon Palace.

It took a good seven and a half minutes for the entire group to pass through the valley, arriving at another enormous square. Compared to the one outside, this place seemed much smaller but was still more than adequate to accommodate the one thousand people.

Ling Feng looked up, and the first thing that caught his eye was eight massive stone pillars, each presenting in colors "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, black" according to the positions of the Eight Diagrams, standing in the center of the square. Several majestic Divine Dragons were carved on the eight stone pillars, and in the center of the pillars, there was a gigantic dragon head statue.

The dragon head was lifelike, seemingly exuding power even without anger.

Worthy of the Dark Dragon Palace, everywhere one looked, there were dragon patterns; one might think one had entered the territory of the Dragon Clan.
