Chapter 635: Chapter 513: Give Him the Storage Ring_2
At that moment, suddenly, the voice of Hong Qingxuan came from above.
Lin Feng looked up, only to have his expression drastically change.
High above, thousands of feet in the clouds, Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao stood still, and between them, a gaunt-faced, gray-clothed old man also stood.
This old man’s aura was unfathomably deep, like an endless abyss, his depths impossible to discern.
And now, the old man’s somewhat aged palms rested on the shoulders of Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao.
Both Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao, one with a cold expression, and the other showing fear, were clearly under the old man’s control.
"Disciple Brother Lin Feng, quick, save us," Huang Yao cried out in terror.
Hong Qingxuan said nothing else; the old man was a Martial King, Lin Feng couldn’t possibly save them.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng frowned deeply, staring intently at the gray-clothed old man.
"If you want to save these two girls’ lives, do as I say."
The old man didn’t answer Lin Feng but smiled sinisterly, "Hand over your Storage Ring, and Xue Tianhao’s Storage Ring as well."
"Beast Tamer Elder!" Upon hearing the old man’s voice, Lin Feng immediately recognized who he was.
This old man’s voice was unmistakably that of the purchaser who bid for the Spirit Sword at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion auction two days ago.
However, upon hearing what he said, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed even more severely; the old man had come for the riches!
How could he hand over the Storage Rings?
Not to mention Xue Tianhao’s Storage Ring, just his own contained items of immense value: the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, several King Level Martial Arts, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace’s Saint Son Token, and so on—each item was incredibly precious!
After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Feng said, "You probably don’t know our identities, do you? I am a Direct Disciple of the Sky-reaching Peak Master of Heavenly Spirit Sect, and one of these two is the Direct Disciple of Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, the Peak Master of Xuantian Peak. Do you know the consequences of your actions?"
Lin Feng knew the Beast Tamer Elder was a Martial King, someone he couldn’t defeat, and even if he could, with Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao in the old man’s hands, he would not dare to act rashly for fear of harming them.
Therefore, all he could do now was bring up the mighty name of Heavenly Spirit Sect in hopes of intimidating the old man.
"I have long been aware of your identities, lad."
Beast Tamer Elder, unfazed by Lin Feng’s words, smiled coldly and said, "That’s precisely why I have not killed you—I have no desire to be pursued by two Martial Emperors!"
The Beast Tamer Elder had lived a long life, not as naïve as Xue Tianhao and the others. If he truly killed Lin Feng and the others, he would have nowhere to hide in the entire East Continent.
The methods of Martial Emperors were unknown to the likes of Xue Tianhao, but he was well aware; if a Martial Emperor wanted someone dead, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they would certainly perish.
Therefore, he chose not to kill them but to subdue Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao, using them to coerce Lin Feng. Of course, if Lin Feng didn’t comply, it wouldn’t be too late for him to make a move against Lin Feng.
"Since you do not wish to be hunted by Martial Emperors, why dare to rob my Storage Ring?" Lin Feng asked with a dark expression.
"Ha ha!"
Beast Tamer Elder laughed, a mocking expression on his face, "A Martial Emperor would not pursue me over such a trifle amount of wealth!"
"As for you..."
Thinking of Lin Feng’s monstrous talent, Beast Tamer Elder’s face grew somber. He had observed Lin Feng’s battle with Tao Wei from start to finish; Lin Feng’s ability to fight above his level had left him truly alarmed.
Moreover, there was something very strange about Lin Feng; he seemingly had an exceptionally special Star, capable of devouring others’ Essence Qi to enhance his own Cultivation. Such a heaven-defying method, it probably wouldn’t take many years before his Cultivation surpassed his own.
"Indeed, your talent is monstrous, a rare sight in my lifetime!"
Beast Tamer Elder nodded and said, "However, I will soon leave the Xuan Domain, and then the world is vast—where will you find me?"
Beast Tamer Elder’s thoughts were meticulous; as long as he didn’t kill Lin Feng and the others, Martial Emperors would have no interest in slaying a mere Martial King like him.
And as for Lin Feng trying to kill him, that was even less likely; once he left the Xuan Domain, even a Martial King would find it difficult to track him down.
"You...!" Lin Feng raged, this old trickster was thinking way too far ahead.
"You know their identities, yet you dare to harm them?" Lin Feng suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at the two ladies Hong Qingxuan, and then coldly stared at the Beast Elder.
"Ha-ha! Indeed, I cannot kill them, but I can toy with them!"
The Beast Elder laughed loudly, his eyes gleaming with sleazy mirth, and said, "Kid, these two young maidens are not bad-looking. How about I strip them of their clothes, and we both appreciate them together?"
The Beast Elder’s face was filled with smiles as he spoke, about to make his move. He was merely toying with Lin Feng and the others, unafraid of Lin Feng escaping, because given Lin Feng’s power, he couldn’t possibly escape from his grasp.
"You old pervert, let me go; I’d rather die than let you succeed."
As soon as the Beast Elder finished speaking, Huang Yao immediately screamed in terror at the thought of being stripped by this vile old man, something she could never accept!
Hong Qingxuan did not speak, but her delicate body started to tremble slightly. Any young girl would probably find it impossible to accept such a thing.
"Stop!" Lin Feng suddenly bellowed, his eyes brimming with a killing intent that shook the heavens and the earth.
Hearing this, the Beast Elder paused his movements and sneered, "Hand over the storage rings quickly, otherwise, I’ll strip them of their clothes right now!"
Lin Feng’s face turned extremely ugly, and his expression constantly shifted. He indeed couldn’t hand over his Storage Ring, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao be humiliated.
Especially since Hong Qingxuan had been kind to him. She had brought him from the Hongyu to the Xuan Domain and taken him to the Heavenly Spirit Sect. No matter what, he could not let Hong Qingxuan suffer such a great indignity.
"Two breaths’ time, if not, this old man will act immediately!" the Beast Elder shouted.
Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao’s gazes were also tightly fixed on Lin Feng, with Lin Feng deciding their fate.
"Lin Feng junior brother, give him the Storage Ring!"
Huang Yao shouted anxiously, "I’ll compensate you in the future, whatever treasures you have in your Storage Ring, I’ll pay you back, even... even if I have to give myself to you!"
Upon hearing Huang Yao’s words, Lin Feng slightly frowned, but he did not say anything.
He glanced at Hong Qingxuan and saw her biting her red lips, a hint of mist in her beautiful eyes. Lin Feng’s heart softened, and he immediately made up his mind.
No matter how precious the items in the Storage Ring were, after all, they were external possessions. Letting them go was just letting them go!
Otherwise, if Hong Qingxuan were to be humiliated because of him, it might become an eternal knot in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Feng was once again filled with a strong desire for power. If he were powerful enough, he wouldn’t be controlled by others today!
At this moment, Lin Feng’s thoughts had changed. Before, his heart still held a trace of mercy, unwilling to kill and devour recklessly.
But now, Lin Feng secretly decided, from now on, to hell with mercy! He would increase his strength as quickly as possible!
After a moment, Lin Feng sighed, slowly raised his palm, and removed the storage ring from his finger.
Seeing that Lin Feng obediently handed over the Storage Ring, a smile immediately appeared on the Beast Elder’s face. He had indeed made a big fortune this time.
In his view, Lin Feng must have an astonishing wealth, and with Lin Feng’s status, there must be King Level cultivation and martial skills on him, and together with Xue Tianhao’s Spirit Sword, he had indeed gained a lot this time.
"Big brother Lin Feng, don’t!"
Just then, Hong Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, "You don’t need to give him the Storage Ring, escape quickly, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to us..."
"Shut up!"
Before Hong Qingxuan could finish her sentence, the Beast Elder shouted, and with a sweep of his palm, a burst of Qi Force flew out and immediately sealed Hong Qingxuan’s mouth.
"You, junior sister Hong...!" Huang Yao was also shocked, with a flicker of anger in her eyes. Hong Qingxuan’s action, wasn’t this harming her!
Lin Feng, hearing Hong Qingxuan’s words, slightly paused in his movements, his gaze meeting hers. He noticed Hong Qingxuan’s gaze was somewhat evasive.
"This girl...!"
Lin Feng sighed lightly. He knew that Hong Qingxuan wasn’t sure if the Beast Elder would act, she just wanted him to escape.
Hong Qingxuan actually disregarded her own safety and wanted him to escape first; with such an action, Lin Feng couldn’t leave even more.
