Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010
Ling Feng frowned slightly and brushed away the dust in front of him. "These all look like high-ranking demons. Are they all here to join the Canglong Sanctum?"
"Big Brother Long, why don't we head into the town and see what we can find out?" Mu Qianxue blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke softly.
"Yes, I was thinking the same thing."
After he spoke, Ling Feng walked forward with unhurried steps. He and Mu Qianxue entered the town together.
Before long, Ling Feng stepped into a tavern.
A tavern was always the best place to gather information. Many busybodies liked to gather there to drink and chat, often leaking news about important events.
This was true for humans and equally true for demons.
Inside this tavern, many young demon clan experts had already gathered. For demons, being around a hundred years old still counted as young.
Ling Feng quickly learned that these "young" demon talents were all here to take part in the Canglong Sanctum's entrance selection.
Canglong Sanctum held its entrance selection once every three years. Ling Feng realized he had come at just the right moment. If he had missed this chance, he might have had to wait not just one month but possibly three more years to get into Canglong Sanctum.
Of course, aside from the usual recruitment, the great king beast clans each held recommendation spots as well. Even so, the recommended candidates still needed to pass Canglong Sanctum's tests to be accepted.
"Did you hear? This time's selection will be the grandest in nearly three hundred years. I heard there will be over a thousand high-level demons taking part!"
A burly wolf demon lifted his wine bowl and spoke while drinking.
"Heh, more like eight thousand!"
A monkey demon with sharp features scoffed. "I heard that if the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor had not led his army to attack the humans, the number would have been even higher!"
"Crazy. Out of eight thousand, only eighty will actually make it into Canglong Sanctum and become disciples of the Eight Great Canglong Sanctum. And only eight of those will be chosen as personal disciples of the Canglong Envoys!"
"We are just here for the experience anyway. Not everyone has the right to enter the Canglong Demon Domain. Just walking in once will be enough for me to brag about for half a year back in my clan."
"Haha, at least you know how to enjoy yourself!"
As these demons spoke over one another, Ling Feng gathered the information he needed.
Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose. A mere entry-level test? He couldn't bring himself to take it seriously. With his foundation, if even he couldn't pass, then the Canglong Sanctum may as well stop recruiting disciples altogether.
He ate a few side dishes while listening carefully for useful news.
Demon race's food was not to Ling Feng's taste. He filled his stomach quickly and then left the tavern with Mu Qianxue.
Because of Canglong Sanctum's disciple selection, the entire area had grown lively and bustling. Ling Feng led Mu Qianxue along the road toward the Canglong Demon Domain. Even hundreds of miles away, the main roads were crowded with travelers.
The pair, a striking man and a beautiful woman, drew many eyes wherever they walked.
Mu Qianxue's cat demon appearance attracted even more attention. Many fierce demons looked her way with primal desire burning in their eyes.
Yet none dared to step forward because of the noble bloodline aura Ling Feng carried.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with shifty eyes blocked Ling Feng's path.
This man's face was covered in tiny scales and each of his cheeks had a long whisker. He looked like a member of the aquatic clan.
He wore a black robe and carried the aura of a peak demon lord, which made him a strong presence in his own right.
The black-robed demon stood in Ling Feng's way and shouted arrogantly.
Ling Feng's brows knitted tighter and his face darkened. Some demons really did not know their place. This fool must have someone backing him.
"Get out of the way!"
The black-robed demon gave Ling Feng a dismissive glance, then turned to stare at Mu Qianxue. His expression changed at once into a vile grin. "Little girl, what is your name?"
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. This is just a lecherous old creep!
"Disgusting thing. Move aside!"
Mu Qianxue's eyes turned cold. She would never bother with courtesy for someone .
"Little girl, you should not talk like that."
The black-robed demon laughed awkwardly. "Uncle may not be handsome, but I am not disgusting."
He chuckled nastily. "Let me explain. My young master has taken a liking to you. Come with uncle. My young master is an important figure in the Canglong Demon Domain. Please him and you will be well rewarded."
Ling Feng's forehead darkened further. This fool was not only a pervert but also a pimp!
Ling Feng could not bear it any longer. He swung his palm and slapped the demon. Even though this black-robed demon was at the peak of the demon lord realm, he was nothing in front of Ling Feng.
A loud crack sounded as the slap sent the demon flying, knocking out several of his teeth.
"Bastard. You worthless dog!"
The black-robed demon scrambled up from the ground, a glint of icy malice in his eyes. "You dare refuse the wine offered to you? I serve the Silver Wolf Clan's young master Yin Xue. You dare lay a hand on me? You two will regret this!"
"Silver Wolf Clan's young master?"
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. What a twist of fate.
There was no doubt that the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's descendant had come to take part in the selection too. Now that fate had dropped him right in Ling Feng's path, Ling Feng would make the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor feel the pain of losing a son. Heaven's arrangement could not have been better!
"Go back and tell your young master that if he wants a fight, I am ready whenever he wishes1"
Ling Feng sent the man flying with a single kick. He left this dog alive so the heir would come looking for him. When that happened, so be it!
A cold glint flashed through Ling Feng's eyes. A hint of killing intent flickered and vanished.
They soon continued on their way toward the Canglong Demon Domain.
The closer Ling Feng got, the more he marveled at the domain's dense demonic qi, so thick it had almost crystallized.
In a place , even a pig could probably reach demon lord level.
By dusk, Ling Feng and Mu Qianxue finally reached the foot of the mountain where Canglong Sanctum stood. Ahead lay the entrance to the Sanctum itself.
At the entrance, a massive crowd had already gathered. Ling Feng estimated there must be over ten thousand demons here.
Most of them had come for the disciple selection, but many others had gathered just to watch the show.
Heads crowded together, forming a dark ocean of bodies. This was only one of the three great demon domains in Nanjiang!
Ling Feng could not help feeling a chill. The foundation of the demon domain was indeed terrifying. If they ever mobilized all their strength, Tianmang Fortress would never hold them back.
The truth was, if not for the few sacred land humans that still existed, the entire Dongling Region's four major empires would likely have fallen to the demon domain long ago.
