Chapter 1315 - 1313: Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast
How could the people of the Gu Family not recognize the two Demon Kings? Everyone knew that the two Demon Kings were Lin Feng’s subordinates. Now, the two Demon Kings appeared to help push back the beast tide—didn’t that clearly indicate Lin Feng himself had arrived? Just the thought of someone like Lin Feng, an Immortal, stepping forward to help them filled their hearts with indescribable joy!
Gu Nantian, Gu Shengwu, and the other Elders of the Gu Family never dreamed that Lin Feng would come to their aid. During the big competition, their relationship with Lin Feng had been terribly strained. It was already good enough that Lin Feng didn’t take advantage of their misfortune; who could have expected that he would set aside past grievances to come to the Gu Family’s rescue? This left them utterly speechless, unsure of how to respond to such a situation.
Initially, they had thought the Female Immortal from the Kong Family might come to their aid, but after contacting the Kong Family for a long time, she never showed up. In the end, the Gu Family had to rely on their own strength to withstand the beast tide. To manage it until now was already quite impressive. The appearance of the two Demon Kings now was undoubtedly a rescue from fire and water!
"Nantian, come with me later to meet Lin Feng!" An elderly man in a yellow long robe, with hair and beard both fully grey yet exuding incredible vitality, addressed Gu Nantian. He was none other than the Ancestor of the Gu Family, Gu Tianxiong. Gu Nantian had already informed Gu Tianxiong about the events of the big competition. Lin Feng’s choice to set aside personal grievances and save the Gu Family surprised even Gu Tianxiong. However, since Lin Feng had expressed his sincerity, the Gu Family couldn’t simply do nothing; such inaction would place them in a position of moral impropriety.
"Understood, Ancestor. I’ll go with you." Gu Nantian felt his face burning with embarrassment. During the big competition, he had unscrupulously targeted the Xia Family for the Gu Family’s honor. Yet now, Lin Feng had turned around and saved the Gu Family—how could he possibly express his complex feelings? Yet, the Ancestor had spoken, and he couldn’t decline. He now regretted resorting to such disgraceful methods in the big competition. The final result was the same; wouldn’t it have been better to establish good relations with the Xia Family? Lin Feng was far more trustworthy than that Female Immortal from the Kong Family. How had he not considered these things back then?
Gu Shengwu stood to the side, utterly speechless. Back in Tianhai, he had even entertained thoughts of killing Lin Feng. Thinking about those moments now, he found himself incredibly childish. Compared to Lin Feng, he fell far short—not even mentioning other qualities, just Lin Feng’s magnanimity was unrivaled. He wondered how he could have been so arrogant back then. Yet, the humiliation of those days still haunted him; he vowed that one day he’d crush Lin Feng beneath his feet...
The battle between the two Demon Kings and the demon beasts continued fiercely—the intensity of the combat was astonishing. Although the Ancestor of the Gu Family was a super powerhouse at the Divine Change Realm, he struggled greatly against the massive demon beasts. The two Demon Kings, however, had no such limitations. When they joined the fray, no demon beast could withstand their attacks. On the battlefield, it was essentially the two Demon Kings dominating the other demon beasts, while the demon beasts posed no real threat to them.
Though not long after, several Exotic Monster Beasts appeared, they quickly fled after a brief encounter with the two Demon Kings. If not for their ability to command other demon beasts to block the two Demon Kings, these Exotic Monster Beasts would surely have perished here.
Once those Exotic Monster Beasts escaped, the beast tide retreated as well...
When the beast tide finally receded, the Gu Family erupted in cheers and quickly began cleaning up the battlefield. The corpses of the demon beasts had to be dealt with properly; otherwise, they might provoke a plague. The two Demon Kings were about to run off to Lin Feng’s side and leave, but just before they departed, a miniature horse suddenly emerged from the pile of demon beast corpses, catching them completely off guard!
"Why are you here, too?" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon looked at the mini horse-like demon beast with great joy and asked excitedly. This pony-demon beast was none other than its former trusted subordinate—the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast. Though the pony looked rather ordinary, it unmistakably carried the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast and possessed extraordinary wisdom. Although not suited for combat, its position among their subordinates was supreme. Never had they expected to meet the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast here.
"Glad to see you’re still alive." The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger also lit up upon seeing the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast. With this "brain trust" back, they could finally unravel what really happened in the Lost Forest.
"Boss, it’s so good to see you! I’ve missed you both terribly. My life lately—well, let’s just say it’s been worse than living as a beast... no, not even a demon beast’s life! It’s been awful! Waaah, Boss, you have to take me along! I want to see the legendary Boss Lin..." The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast dashed to the side of the two Demon Kings, immediately launching into an endless chatter as if unleashing years’ worth of pent-up words.
"Stop, stop! If you keep talking, the old rules apply!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was instantly exasperated by the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s ramblings and quickly stopped it. While the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast had exceptional wisdom, its one glaring flaw was its incessant chatter, which was highly headache-inducing.
Hearing this, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast immediately fell silent, obediently following the two Demon Kings toward Lin Feng’s direction. It knew very well that it wasn’t a combat-type demon beast. If the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon truly punished it, it might not die, but it would certainly suffer immensely.
In a flash, the two Demon Kings led the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast to Lin Feng’s side. Upon seeing Lin Feng, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast transformed into a streak of violet light, darting toward him, and with a surprising burst of speech, said: "You must be Boss Lin! I want to swear allegiance to you, too. I can’t endure life in the Lost Forest anymore! Even if you don’t accept me, let me follow you and serve as your beast of burden. I may not have many skills, but at least I can carry some stuff! Well, except anything weighing as much as a person—can’t do that. Oh, and I don’t eat much..."
The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast was simply too excited. It had long known about the two Demon Kings following Lin Feng, and from the cultivators it heard that Lin Feng was a true Immortal. How could it possibly miss such an outstanding opportunity? It was now beyond control, babbling uncontrollably.
Initially, Lin Feng found the mini horse-shaped demon beast quite adorable, but he didn’t expect it to have reached the Divine Change Realm level. He was even more unprepared for its endless chatter, which surpassed anything he’d experienced—even the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon seemed talkative by comparison. Yet, Lin Feng couldn’t tolerate such endless babbling.
"Stop!" Lin Feng said helplessly, thinking to himself that as long as the mini-horse didn’t speak, he’d have no complaints.
"..." The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, which had been animatedly chattering, immediately shut its mouth upon hearing Lin Feng’s command. It gazed at Lin Feng with teary eyes, thinking about all the things it still wanted to say but couldn’t, fearing Lin Feng might dislike it. What should it do now?
Seeing the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast finally go quiet, Lin Feng turned to the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon with slightly furrowed brows and asked in a questioning tone, "What’s going on? What kind of demon beast is this, and why is it so talkative?"
Noticing Lin Feng’s displeasure, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon shot the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast a stern glare before explaining to Lin Feng, "Boss, it used to be one of my most capable subordinates. Its name is Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast. Aside from the chatterbox issue, it’s actually quite remarkable."
The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was now rather anxious, uncertain whether Lin Feng was truly annoyed or just mildly irritated. In hindsight, it wished it had warned the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast not to babble.
"Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast?" Lin Feng looked at the diminutive horse before him, finding it impossible to connect its appearance with such a lofty name. He turned to the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon again, hoping to get to the bottom of it.
"Boss, that’s its true name—you didn’t mishear. Don’t be fooled by its appearance; the purity of its Divine Beast bloodline surpasses even mine. If not for its lack of combat ability, it would have been the Demon King of the Lost Forest." Sensing Lin Feng’s confusion, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon hastily explained. It completely understood Lin Feng’s skepticism—the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s looks were very deceptive. Most people unfamiliar with it would mistake it for an ornamental pet horse cared for by humans.
"No combat ability?" Lin Feng glanced at the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast and asked again. He hadn’t yet heard of a demon beast that couldn’t fight. How could this creature have survived up to now?
"It truly doesn’t have any combat ability," the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon replied earnestly. "Its talents lie entirely in wisdom and disguise. Honestly, don’t underestimate it even slightly—although it’s small in size, not even ten of me and Old Black combined could match its intelligence." Reflecting on the past, it added almost nostalgically, "I almost ate it once... If it weren’t for its extraordinary usefulness, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast would’ve died long ago."
"Boss, in the Lost Forest, it’s the smartest being by far. There’s hardly anything it doesn’t know. If there’s anything you want to ask about, it’s best to hear it from this one," the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger chimed in. Then, turning toward the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, it added threateningly, "Boss doesn’t like babble. Answer only what you’re asked. If you ramble, back to the Lost Forest you go!"
The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast could only be managed with a mix of carrot-and-stick approaches. Otherwise, this chatterbox became insufferable. Once, it had even annoyed an Infinitesimal Realm demon beast into jumping off a cliff—its verbal skills were truly a force to be reckoned with.
Taking the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger’s words to heart, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast hunched itself into a submissive posture, sitting on its hind legs and awaiting Lin Feng’s questioning obediently.
"Who’s currently ruling over all the demon beasts in the Lost Forest?" Lin Feng asked as his first question, eager to uncover the situation in the Lost Forest. Only a demon beast like the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast could provide meaningful answers.
"Reporting to Boss Lin, the one in charge in the Lost Forest now is the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf." The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast promptly responded with the information.
As soon as these words left its mouth, the two Demon Kings exclaimed in unison!
