"Yes, it's the Black Fox King. The Black Fox King is too powerful; all the experts dispatched by our He family were killed by him with a single palm strike."
"My sister, to save me, single-handedly lured the Black Fox King away. Her fate is currently unknown!"
As He Yuqing spoke, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire body deflating as if losing air. She collapsed onto Lin Feng's shoulder.
Lin Feng noticed He Yuqing was seriously injured and quickly helped her sit on a stone stool by the roadside.
Immediately, Lin Feng took out a silver needle and began rapidly administering acupuncture on He Yuqing.
With Lin Feng's treatment, He Yuqing's condition gradually improved significantly.
"Xiao Fengzi, I didn't expect you to be a divine doctor. I was in excruciating pain, but after your needling, I feel much better."
He Yuqing managed a tragic yet beautiful smile and sat up straight.
"I don't understand why the Black Fox King is chasing you two sisters. Is it just because you angered him last time?"
Lin Feng was perplexed.
Logically, a figure of the Black Fox King's caliber wouldn't easily rage against mortals.
Not to mention, He Yuqing and He Yuning were girls.
"It's because my sister and the He family have an ancient feud with the Black Fox King. Furthermore, my sister almost ruined his rebirth last time, which is why he hates our He family even more."
He Yuqing explained.
"Ancient feud? What does that mean? I don't quite understand."
Lin Feng became even more confused.
"Heh, to tell you the truth, our He family's ancestor was the Great Emperor Bei Xuan, He Wuhen. The Black Fox King, reduced to a mere wisp of his soul, was a masterpiece of our ancestor."
As soon as He Yuqing uttered these words, Lin Feng's mind buzzed.
So, the He family were descendants of a Great Emperor.
"Xiao Fengzi, this place isn't safe. We should leave quickly."
"You have no idea how strong the Black Fox King is. He can shatter a mountain with a single palm strike."
"Several of our He family's God Transformation stage experts couldn't withstand his palm."
"It's terrifying! He's simply monstrous!"
He Yuqing shuddered at the thought.
Lin Feng wasn't particularly surprised. Ying Tianqing was even more monstrous than the Black Fox King, so he was already accustomed to such power.
"If the Black Fox King is so strong, how were you able to escape?"
Lin Feng suddenly realized something was amiss. Even with He Yuning luring the Black Fox King away, it should have been a simple matter for him to deal with He Yuning.
"It's because our He family possesses a treasure. I used the treasure to perform a clone technique, so he couldn't distinguish the real from the fake for a while."
"Why are you asking so many questions? Xiao Fengzi, you're not being nice!"
He Yuqing eyed Lin Feng vigilantly, feeling that his questions were becoming too numerous.
"I'm just curious. Let's go. Since you're fine, I'll take you to escape first."
Lin Feng smiled and pulled He Yuqing along as they walked into the mountains.
As they walked, a young man in white suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng and He Yuqing.
The young man appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in snow-white robes, with an elegant demeanor. He was about 1.6 meters tall, with long, raven-black hair streaked with a few strands of white.
The youth held a folding fan in his hand, gently fanning himself in front of his chest, like a handsome ancient scholar stepping out of a painting.
"Little brother, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
The youth spoke, his voice clear and ethereal. His eyes, as bright as comets, fixed on Lin Feng and He Yuqing, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Little brother, it's late at night, and it's quite strange for you to be alone in the deep mountains. Where are your adults?"
Lin Feng didn't answer the youth's question, instead finding the youth's appearance rather abrupt.
Moreover, he couldn't sense any unusual aura from the youth; he appeared to be just an ordinary young man.
"My adults? You're truly humorous."
The youth laughed heartily, his gaze suddenly turning sharp as a blade, piercing towards He Yuqing.
He Yuqing was terrified and hid behind Lin Feng, tugging at his clothes: "Xiao Fengzi, he's the Black Fox King! We're doomed. We're going to die now."
"What? He's the Black Fox King?"
Lin Feng was shocked. In his imagination, the Black Fox King should have been a top-tier demon, tall and imposing, exuding a strong demonic aura, with nine large fox tails swishing behind him.
Now, he looked like an elegant ancient youth. The contrast was too great!
Especially considering he had just called the Black Fox King "little brother" and even asked about his adults, Lin Feng instantly felt uneasy.
Teasing a demon king who had lived for thousands of years was equivalent to courting death!
As Lin Feng felt a sense of unease, the Black Fox King smiled: "Kid, don't be so nervous. I promised that 'adult' that I would protect you for now."
"But this protection is only for you. As for this little girl from the He family beside you, I will seal her for ten thousand years, letting her taste what it's like to live in darkness."
The Black Fox King stared at He Yuqing with murderous intent, his anger impossible to conceal.
"Xiao Fengzi, since you know the Black Fox King, why don't you quickly beg for mercy on my behalf? I don't want to be sealed for ten thousand years."
He Yuqing's mind raced. Although she didn't know who the "adult" the Black Fox King mentioned was, she could sense a deep connection between the Black Fox King and Lin Feng.
Lin Feng naturally knew who the Black Fox King was referring to.
The only one who could make the Black Fox King so respectful was his elder brother Ying, no one else.
Therefore, Lin Feng forced a smile: "Brother Hei, since you know my elder brother, please spare He Yuqing for my elder brother's sake."
"Your grudges with the He family are ancient matters, and the sins do not extend to descendants. Please be merciful."
Upon hearing this, the Black Fox King snorted: "Lin Feng, logically, I should give you some face. But the He family and I are irreconcilable. Especially this little girl, she trespassed into my secluded cultivation place and killed my kin. How can I spare her?"
"Brother Hei, killing your kin was done by her sister."
"And she even saved your kin. See for yourself if you don't believe me."
Lin Feng said, and immediately took out the Netherworld Devil Pot, releasing the three-tailed demon fox he had collected earlier.
Due to being imprisoned for too long, the three-tailed demon fox was still in a comatose state.
Seeing that his kin was still alive, the Black Fox King's murderous intent gradually subsided.
"Very well, since that's the case, I'll spare your life for now."
The Black Fox King said, waving his hand. The three-tailed demon fox lying on the ground instantly disappeared.
"He Yuqing, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave."
Lin Feng urged He Yuqing to leave, worried that the Black Fox King might change his mind.
"Xiao Fengzi, great kindness needs no thanks. I will remember this favor."
He Yuqing cupped her fists with a touch of chivalry and dashed away.
"Brother Hei, I'll be leaving now too. I have an appointment to discuss matters."
Lin Feng intended to take his leave, as being with such a powerful demon was too dangerous.
"No hurry, I'll go with you. I've been dormant for thousands of years; I'm curious about what the mortal world is like now."
The Black Fox King smiled. Before Lin Feng could say anything, he waved his hand, taking Lin Feng with him high into the sky, thousands of meters up.
"Brother Hei, where did He Yuning go?"
Lin Feng asked, enduring the biting wind.
"She's locked up. A mere ice bird, worthy of contending with me!"
"The people of the He family are becoming weaker and weaker!"
The Black Fox King showed disdain, viewing the reincarnation of the Ice Phoenix as just a bird in his eyes!
At that time, Ji Zhengchun had brought Ji Boxiao to the foot massage parlor.
Not seeing Lin Feng's figure, Ji Boxiao immediately cursed angrily: "Lin, you asked us to come, but then you left. What do you mean by that? Are you playing games with us?"
