Chapter 2105: Chapter 2012: Abducted
Shortly after Ling Feng left the tavern, Xiao Xi was targeted by a group of people with ill intentions.
Having spent most of the past half-year by Ling Feng’s side, Xiao Xi had undergone significant changes since her time at the Shrine. The most notable change was that she was now much more strikingly beautiful compared to the dull and disheveled girl she once was.
Ling Feng had previously led Xiao Xi into continuous battles and hadn’t realized that, in the Demon Controlling Battlefield, beauty like Xiao Xi’s was an extremely rare resource.
"Did you see that chick? I haven’t seen anyone that hot in years, why don’t we..." At a table not far from Xiao Xi, three men stared at her with ill intentions, muttering to themselves.
"But the other side also has a man, I reckon he won’t be easy to deal with. Otherwise, if he carried such a beauty in the Demon Controlling Battlefield, she would have already been swallowed up by others."
"What’s there to fear? If we offer this woman to Captain Mu of the Imperial Guards, we might even receive considerable rewards!" The man chuckled: "You think that man can demand her back from Captain Mu?"
"Big Brother’s idea is brilliant!" Another man’s eyes lit up: "Captain Mu is notoriously fond of women, and given this woman’s exceptional beauty, Captain Mu definitely won’t let her go! Plus, we might even gain qualifications for the Imperial Guards!"
"Exactly!" The leader said proudly: "It’s not easy to get qualifications for the Imperial Guards, we could save decades of struggle!"
The three men’s eyes glistened with greed as they exchanged glances and then hurriedly left.
A moment later, one of the men rushed back in, approached Xiao Xi, and said, "Miss, it’s bad, your companion is lying outside, you should go check!"
Xiao Xi’s expression changed drastically: "What? Big Brother Ling lying outside? Impossible! Big Brother Ling’s strength is formidable!"
The man said, "Would I lie to you? Your Big Brother Ling is just downstairs, won’t you go down to check? Anyway, he’s downstairs, I was entrusted to deliver the message, it’s up to you if you come or not!"
With that, the man turned and left.
Xiao Xi felt restless, though she agreed to meet Ling Feng here, what if something really happened to Big Brother Ling?
"He went to seize the Void Demon Crystal Core here. What if he clashed with the Demon King’s Imperial Guards? Could he have been injured by the Imperial Guards!" Xiao Xi’s mind started to run wild: "Should I go downstairs to check?"
Once the thought emerged, Xiao Xi couldn’t suppress it anymore. Her mind began to envision Ling Feng lying in a pool of blood.
A moment later, Xiao Xi decided to go downstairs to take a look. If they were lying, she could always come back, couldn’t she?
Having made up her mind, Xiao Xi got up and headed downstairs. Just as she stepped out of the tavern, someone suddenly jumped out from beside her, and a karate chop landed on the back of her neck, causing her to immediately faint.
This scene was witnessed by many, but no one stood up. This place was originally a zone of the strong preying on the weak; no one would stick their neck out for the safety of others, as compassion was considered the biggest joke here.
"Brothers, quickly take her away, we’re sending her to the Imperial Guards now!" The leader of the three said joyfully: "This is quite a prime catch!"
...
When Ling Feng returned, he found that Xiao Xi was already gone, and his face instantly darkened. He knew that if nothing unexpected had happened, Xiao Xi wouldn’t have left here.
"Could it be... something has happened?" Ling Feng felt an ominous premonition. Although this was the Demon Residence, it was a frontier region; could she have been abducted?
But this was the tavern, who would have such boldness?
Ling Feng tapped the table, then summoned the tavern’s attendant, speaking in a deep voice: "Where is my companion? Where has she gone?"
The tavern attendant laughed cheekily: "Are you joking? Your companion disappeared; what does it have to do with our tavern? We’re not obliged to keep an eye on your little lover, are we?"
"Do you know what happened?" A cold gleam flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes.
The attendant rubbed his hands and said: "Of course I know, but if you want to know, you’ll have to pay something. But don’t worry, we won’t demand exorbitant amounts; two Void Demon Crystal Cores, and I’ll tell you everything I saw!"
Ling Feng laughed angrily: "What? So you know the whole story, but didn’t stop it?"
The attendant coldly retorted: "Why should I stop it? This is the Demon Controlling Battlefield; everything here depends on power. I suggest you quickly pay to avoid disaster, otherwise, your little lover might..."
Boom! Before the attendant could finish, the aura surrounding Ling Feng surged, revealing his Peak Level 8 Demon strength. He clamped a hand around the attendant’s throat: "Do you honestly think I don’t dare to kill you? Want to live? Tell me everything in detail, or I’ll kill you!"
"You dare cause trouble in our tavern? You’re dead!" The attendant’s eyes widened, unable to believe someone dared to create a disturbance in the tavern. Didn’t he cherish his life? Doesn’t everyone know this tavern has backing?
Ling Feng’s commotion attracted everyone’s attention, and once they noted Ling Feng’s Peak Level 8 Demon strength, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.
Peak Level 8 Demon, a top-tier expert even in the Demon Residence. Though Ling Feng had reached the ninth level demon’s realm of power, he still restrained himself somewhat.
"Who dares cause trouble in the tavern!" At this moment, the tavern’s manager appeared. Seeing Ling Feng, he shouted sternly: "Release him, or I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried!"
Ling Feng coldly glanced at him, then suddenly unleashed numerous Sword Qi that surged upward, destroying the entire tavern outright.
"I should thank you all, I’d almost forgotten that this place is ruled by power!" Ling Feng said casually, looking at the petrified tavern attendant: "Are you going to obediently tell me what happened, or should I crush your skull? I’m not in the mood to haggle with you right now!"
The tavern attendant shivered; he had originally just intended to exploit the situation for some Crystal Cores but hadn’t expected this guy to be a lunatic.
And judging by his demeanor, he might really kill him.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!" The attendant quickly said: "It was the three Lei Family brothers who did it; they definitely intend to offer your companion to Captain Mu of the Imperial Guards!"
