Chapter 454 Demon Core

Ye Ling's words made Shenfeng feel a sudden chill throughout his body. As he looked at Ye Ling's serious expression, Shenfeng was certain he wasn't being deceived.

"Hey, Ye Ling, you better not be scaring me. My heart isn't very good, and I can't handle frights. Tell me, what is this bead?"

Shenfeng swallowed his saliva, thinking that if even Ye Ling took it seriously, how terrifying must it be?

"This is a Demon Core from the Demon Race, and it contains a terrifying amount of Spiritual Power. I think when you were stealing this Demon Core, that fearsome demon must have been in some kind of cultivation state."

"Otherwise, how could it have allowed you to steal its Demon Core? For a member of the Demon Race to lose their Demon Core is like a human losing their soul. Tell me, how long do you think you could live with it in your possession?"

Ye Ling was utterly serious. In the Immortal Realm, there had been cases of the Demon Race losing their Demon Cores, usually when demons offered up their cores during certain cultivations and lost their sense of self, allowing others to steal them.

Of course, the Demon Race has a unique method of tracking their own Demon Cores, and it's quite easy for them to locate them.

Once they track down the thief who stole their Demon Core, they will retaliate furiously, showing no mercy at all.

The moment Shenfeng heard this, his face instantly changed color. Demon Core, he hadn't even heard of it: "Could it be a demon that has condensed a Golden Core?"

"If it's a demon that has condensed a Golden Core, with you and Ao Hongchen here, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Shenfeng tried to encourage himself, but Ye Ling on the other side just sneered, "Golden Core Stage? Let me tell you, the aura from this Demon Core, at the very least, belongs to a fearsome demon that has broken through to the Divine Infant Realm."

"Above Tribulation Transcending is the Divine Infant Realm. I think you should know, that's the last hurdle before becoming immortal. Once one breaks through, they leap out of the Three Realms, no longer within the confines of the Five Elements."

Divine Infant Realm, as soon as Shenfeng heard this, his face turned pale. Oh my god, how had he managed to provoke such a terrifyingly powerful enemy? This was really bad luck.

"But Ye Ling, what should we do? If that guy comes for us, it could lead to a major disaster!"

Shenfeng immediately thought of the dire consequences. If it came for them, the civilians would be caught in the catastrophe—it would be a devastating blow.

Ye Ling sneered and shook his head, "It's just a demon of the Divine Infant Realm. What's there to be afraid of? If it doesn't come, fine. If it dares to come, we'll just chop it up and boil it up to eat. Let me tell you, that flesh is full of frighteningly potent Spiritual Power."

Upon hearing what Ye Ling said, Shenfeng was incredibly astonished, looking at Ye Ling in disbelief. Damn, had this guy gone mad with joy over his upcoming wedding?

To think of eating a demon of the Divine Infant Realm? What a joke, it's like a baby bragging about killing a world-champion boxer—not the least bit realistic.

"If you put it that way, that's pretty awkward. Don't mess with me, my life is very precious to me."

Shenfeng couldn't help but feel fear. It wasn't that he was cowardly, but consider this: he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he had somehow provoked the wrath of a Divine Infant Realm powerhouse.

What does that mean? It's like when you were in elementary school and you talked back to the principal. You would have to sit in class every day, living in constant fear of retaliation.

Ye Ling shook his head and looked at Shenfeng as if he were looking at an idiot: "How come I find you so lacking in spirit? It's just a demon, what's there to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, Ye Ling clapped his hands and Xiao Bai, who was swimming in the water, turned her head, "Xiao Bai, come here, I need to ask you something."

Xiao Bai swam right over, shook off the water, and came to Ye Ling's side, looking disdainful: "Speak, what do you require of this king?"

"I'm begging your sister here, I'm asking you a question. As a Chaos Divine Beast at the Divine Infant Realm, tell me, can you beat an ordinary demon of the Divine Infant Realm?"

Ye Ling smacked Xiao Bai's head as he asked, provoking Xiao Bai to bare its teeth and almost bite Ye Ling.

"Ye Ling! This king will fight you, just an ordinary demon race, not to mention one; even if ten came at me, this king would swallow them whole!"

"You're insulting me, right, you must be insulting me. I am the great and noble Chaos Divine Beast!"

Xiao Bai roared, now that it had broken through to the Divine Infant Realm, it could already speak human language. Of course, Ye Ling had set a rule for it that it shouldn't speak in front of ordinary people.

Ye Ling glanced at Shenfeng, "See, not bad, right? I've told you, just a lousy demon race. If one dares to come, we'll skin it and eat its meat!"

After finishing his words, Ye Ling left disdainfully and directly jumped into the swimming pool for a few laps.

Shenfeng's eyes lit up immediately, looking at Xiao Bai with sparkling eyes, "Xiao Bai, are you really telling the truth?"

"Nonsense, could the words of this king be wrong? Let me tell you, I am supreme under the heavens and earth!"

Xiao Bai lifted its head proudly. Actually, what it said made sense. If it were a human in the Divine Infant Realm, perhaps Xiao Bai wouldn't dare to boast so, but against the demon race, just the suppression of bloodlines alone would allow Xiao Bai to eat them up completely.

"Haha! That's great, Xiao Bai, I'll sleep with you for the next few days. If a few demons from the Divine Infant Realm really come, you help me eat them."

Shenfeng suddenly felt like he had found a savior and finally didn't have to be afraid anymore.

Xiao Bai was startled, "Damn, really? Are you guys serious or just joking?"

"Who's just shooting the breeze here? I'm not kidding around; it's about my life. Xiao Bai, you've got to help me out. When the time comes, you take over, and I'll call for backup."

Hearing Shenfeng's words, Xiao Bai let out an awkward smile, "Well, about that, I have some other things to do these days, and I'm not quite up to par when it comes to killing. Ye Ling can, definitely can."

Whoosh, a streak of white light zipped by, and Xiao Bai dashed straight into the pool, refusing to show its face for a long time, leaving Shenfeng alone with eyes widened and full of deep resentment.

What a bunch of jerks, damn it, all smooth talkers with the gift of the gab, but when trouble comes they just ditch me.

As teammates, shouldn't they uphold the spirit of not abandoning or giving up on each other? Why do they all shrink back faster than anyone else when facing a tough opponent? Are you all like turtles hiding your necks?

Time slowly passed, and in a blink of an eye, the day of June 6th arrived. Early in the morning on this day, a row of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the manor.

Xiong San had also brought all his disciples and prepared sufficient ingredients early on to start cooking. Of course, he was responsible for the main dish, while other chefs helped with the other dishes.

Inside the manor, lanterns and colorful decorations were everywhere, and the joy was infectious. Ye Ling wore a casual suit, his hair slick and shiny, grinning from ear to ear.

Wang Shufen looked at her son with a continuous smile, took a deep breath, and wiped her moist eyes.

"Alright, it's time to go pick them up."

After Wang Shufen finished speaking, Ye Ling immediately swung his arm in emphasis. Led by Mo Xing, Ye Wudao, and the rest of the Groomsmen Legion, they set off in a grand and imposing manner.
