Chapter 896: A ‘Warm Welcome’ For Lin Feng
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng had no intention to be high profile but did not attempt to mask his own aura as well . He used his consciousness to sweep the area as he proceeded forward to search for the Golden Cicada Master .
The moment he stepped into the territory of the Xiaocizhi Mountain, the white and red mountain trembled and a giant light illusion shimmered in the upper parts of the mountain .
That illusion was shaped like an ape with a white-colored head and red-colored limbs . The combination of colors was similar to that of the Xiaocizhi Mountain itself, and the four limbs in contact with the ground resembled raging flames .
It was colossal, so big that it seemed like it bore the weight of the heavens upon its shoulders . It had red eyes that flickered with green light as they trained themselves on Lin Feng .
Lin Feng matched his gaze and muttered, "The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, indeed . Judging by the ripples of his mana, he should have already begun experiencing the tribulations – but I can’t tell whether he has completed the Alpha Tribulations . "
Legend had it that when the Crimson Gorilla Apes showed themselves, the world would descend into war . At this moment, Lin Feng could already feel that instigating aura permeating the air that provoked all the living souls in the world to fight against each other .
This concept of power was similar to that of the Asura War-Blade; there was a tiny difference: The Asura War-Blade seemed to incite cruel murder while the other was purely belligerent .
However, the instigating aura exhibited by the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was a lot more dense and powerful compared to the Asura War-Blade, and could not be compared on the same level .
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stared at Lin Feng and said, "Are you the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders from the Divine Lands, Lin Feng? Are you here for the Golden Cicada Master?"
Lin Feng smiled plainly and replied, "Since you already know who I am and why I am here, do you have any information you can provide for me?"
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s mouth separated as he revealed rows of shiny white teeth . Even though it was just a light illusion, there seemed to be heatwaves emanating from that all-swallowing gaping mouth that scorched the immediate vicinity around the Xiaocizhi Mountain .
"Even though you haven’t participated in the War of the Two Worlds before, you are ultimately still human . The Crimson Gorilla Apes have never been on good terms with the humans . "
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage passed a voice-projected message, "However, the humans we hate the most are the cultivators from the Mount Shu Sword Sect . Your destruction of the Saintly Celestial Sword and the flattening of Mount Shu, while it stemmed from personal feuds, is still a piece of good news for us and makes us feel good . "
"The Golden Cicada Master is adept at covering his tracks . Even with the rough location that you have provided, it may still be challenging to find him . I also intend to draw the flesh and blood of this ‘old friend’ to feed my juniors . "
Lin Feng answered coolly, "My eradication of the Saintly Celestial Sword was purely to settle the feud between myself and the Mount Shu Sword Sect, nothing else . If you have already found the Golden Cicada Master and you have news for me, I may be able to save some time . If you haven’t or you can’t provide me with anything, then all I have to do is spend a little more time and effort . "
"The Golden Cicada Master abducted one of my grand-disciples when I was shutting myself in . The sole purpose of my expedition into the Barren Expanses is to claim him back and pay back this debt . "
The main benefit of the flesh and blood of the Golden Cicada Master was to help powerful demons resist the Tribulations and did not have the same effects . However, even though Lin Feng was not interested in that, it did not naturally mean that he was about to hand him over to the demons to make them stronger .
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was aware of this as well . In the end, the outcome would be determined by their own intelligence and capabilities . Furthermore, the Golden Cicada Master was not a clay doll and dealing with him was extremely difficult to accomplish .
"The Six-Horned Divine Monkeys and the Crimson Gorilla Apes branched from the same lineage . Your disciple executed some of the disciples of the Six-Horned Grand Sage, yet I cannot be bothered to put my life on the line to fight you for revenge . However, I need to provide the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage with an explanation," the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage continued, "Your reputation precedes you, and I have heard that you are the number one figure in the recent rise of powerful cultivators in the Divine Lands . Even though I am nothing much, I wish to challenge you to a duel . "
"The Azure Sky Dragon King will be here shortly . If you emerge victorious against me, I will stop him for you to aid you in your efforts to find the Golden Cicada Master . When you do find him, you will have full priority in whatever you need to do . However, if you lose, once you find the Golden Cicada Master, you will take back your grand-disciple but you will have to hand the Golden Cicada Master over to me . "
The Six-Horned Divine Monkeys were very close to the Heavenly Demon Apes, but were not known to have much dealings with the Crimson Gorilla Ape Demons . The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was not about to battle Lin Feng to the death over the death of one junior from the Six-Horned Divine Monkeys tribe .
The outcome of the battle aside, if he requested for Lin Feng to hand over Shi Tianhao, it would irrevocably lead to a battle to the very end .
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage made it clear that even if he won, he would not make an attempt on Lin Feng’s life . To him, the flesh and blood of the Golden Cicada Master was far more valuable and important .
Lin Feng’s epic reputation in the Divine Lands did not come about by talk or conversation; he built every single block of it with his fists . Even though he did not usually venture into the Barren Expanses, his notoriety was equally well-known within the Barren Expanses .
No matter what, the conflict between the demon world and the human world had been raging for so many years . Even if some demons had never seen Lin Feng before and knew nothing of his real power, they were still roughly aware of the power of other entities like the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Saintly Celestial Sword, the Imperial Palace, the Immortal Dragon City and the Great Void Holy Pavilion .
If the current leader of the Ape Demons – the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage – was here, and their location of battle was at the main peak of the Lingyuan Mountains, which was also their ancestral ground, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage would perhaps have spoken in another manner . However, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was on a crusade against the Great Void Sect’s Mount Taihua and was still absent . The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was all by himself and was not about to risk his life against Lin Feng .
The Azure Sky Dragon King was the tribe leader of the Azure Dragons who belonged to the Immemorial Celestial Dragons that roosted within the Black Sea . The Azure Dragons were closely related to the Thunder Dragons, and the Azure Sky Dragon King immediately hurried forth once he received news about Lin Feng’s arrival within the Barren Expanses .
Lin Feng could gauge the rough location of the Golden Cicada Master with the golden bowl; the Golden Cicada Master himself was also able to estimate Lin Feng’s location as well . If not, because he kept running and had to watch his back, yet he had to deal with the ambushes and poaching from people like the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage at the same time, he would have been trapped a long time ago .
