Facing Cai'er's provocation, Yue Ye unconsciously clenched her fists.

With a fierce glint in her eyes, she said, "Don't push people too far!"

"Humph!" Cai'er snorted coldly. Spiritual energy surged outward, shoving Yue Ye away.

Already unable to fight, Yue Ye was forced back several steps by the blast of spiritual energy.

"Your life is already in my hands. What right do you have to speak to me like that?"

"You..."

Yue Ye wanted to retort, but she glanced back at Leng Xiao, who had already fallen unconscious. She herself was now a prisoner as well.

Her tightly clenched hands slowly loosened.

She let out a long breath, calming the anger in her heart.

"What do you want?"

By now, Yue Ye understood that Cai'er had planted the Gray Nether Needle in her under Lin Feng's command in order to control her.

"What do I have to do for you to help remove the restriction?" Yue Ye asked Lin Feng, the culprit behind all this.

Lin Feng patted the Ruin Grader and let him down.

"Yue Ye, president of the Moon Night Merchant Guild, and also the princess of the Moon Demon Race. Over the years, relying on the Moon Demon Race's influence, the Moon Night Merchant Guild has traveled freely throughout Demon Race territory and rapidly grown stronger..."

Hearing Lin Feng expose her entire identity, Yue Ye's expression turned grave. "Where did you get this information?"

She did not remember ever introducing her identity to Lin Feng when they met.

"You don't need to worry about how I know. For the next two years, I need you to keep an eye on the movements of the Demon Race Outside Devil Expulsion Pass."

The Devil Expulsion Pass Battle would take place in two years. If Yue Ye could serve as his hidden agent, he should be able to avoid a lot of trouble.

As for actually killing these two, Lin Feng had no such plans for now.

Killing Yue Ye and Leng Xiao would bring no benefit to him or the human race. If the Demon God Emperor learned that Leng Xiao had died by his hand, then with his current strength, he probably would not live to see the next morning.

Given the Demon God Emperor's methods, he had surely placed some sort of restriction within Leng Xiao's body. If she truly died, it would probably appear on the spot.

As for Yue Ye, her father's goal had always been Human-Demon Coexistence.

And he was undeniably a doting father—he simply did not show it. If Yue Ye died at human hands, it would likewise bring more trouble than benefit.

After considering Lin Feng's request for a moment, Yue Ye finally nodded.

"I can agree, but humans and demons have been irreconcilable enemies for thousands of years. I can only guarantee that I will provide you with intelligence without exposing my identity."

"No problem. But I have to remind you of something: the Gray Nether Needle requires you to meet Cai'er once a year. I hope you won't entertain any wishful thoughts."

"...I understand."

Seeing Yue Ye agree, Lin Feng did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Leng Xiao.

This girl had promised him that if she lost, she would become his mount...

Playing dead would not do.

He still wanted to become a Dragon Knight.

"What are you doing? Don't blame me for not warning you—Leng Xiao has an extreme personality. If she learns that you've controlled her, none of the three of us will live past tomorrow!" Seeing Lin Feng walk toward Leng Xiao, Yue Ye became anxious.

Leng Xiao had always been straightforward by nature. If she learned she had been controlled, she would probably risk her life to fight Lin Feng again.

It did not matter if she died, but the Demon God Emperor would not spare anyone present.

Lin Feng crouched beside Leng Xiao and fed her a pill that restored spiritual energy. He reached out and patted the still-unconscious Leng Xiao. "Still sleeping?"

A moment later, Leng Xiao groggily opened her eyes and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Sister Yue, I'm so tired. Let me sleep a little longer..."

But halfway through her words, Leng Xiao suddenly realized that the person before her was not Yue Ye, but Lin Feng. She instantly became fully alert.

She sprang up from the ground.

The terrifying power of Lin Feng's final slash resurfaced in her mind.

She stared at Lin Feng in alarm. "What do you want..."

"Did you forget what you said? Want me to remind you?"

"...What did I say?" Leng Xiao froze for a moment, unable to remember.

"You said that if you lost, you would be willing to do what?"

At Lin Feng's reminder, her earlier promise replayed through Leng Xiao's mind like a carousel.

Leng Xiao bit down hard on her lower lip and glared at Lin Feng. After a long internal struggle,

she said with difficulty, "I-I, I'm not someone who can't accept losing. You can ride me, but you have to agree to one condition."

Hearing Leng Xiao's words, Lin Feng was overjoyed inside. He had finally achieved his goal of becoming a Dragon Knight.

"Tell me," Lin Feng said, suppressing his delight.

"Y-you can't force me... in public..."

"Fine. No problem."

Hearing Leng Xiao's request, Lin Feng readily agreed. He had never expected to ride the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon in full view of everyone anyway.

If the Demon God Emperor found out, this relationship would probably be over before it even began.

Keeping it secret was better for everyone.

At the same time, Yue Ye and Cai'er both had black lines running down their faces as they listened to the conversation.

Their exchange somehow sounded strange, yet when considered carefully, there did not seem to be anything wrong with it...

Two and a half hours later.

The sun was about to set, and the fiery red evening clouds dyed the entire sky crimson.

On the walls of Devil Expulsion Pass, soldiers on duty

were intently watching the distant mountain range, guarding against a sudden invasion by the Demon Race.

By chance, one of them spotted a small black dot shooting out from the mountains and soaring through the sky.

Thinking he had seen wrong, he rubbed his eyes. Looking again, there truly was a black dot, and it was growing larger and larger. Faintly, it resembled a dragon.

Staring at the flying object on the horizon, the soldier hurriedly patted the companion beside him. "Is that a dragon?"

Because it was too far away, the soldier was not entirely certain and could only ask the nearby soldier to confirm it.

The soldier beside him swatted his hand away. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the dragon race possibly appear at Devil Expulsion Pass?"

"You must have seen wrong."

Ignored by the soldier beside him, he became anxious. "No, that really is a dragon—and it looks like a Heaven Defying Demon Dragon!"

There were many records concerning the legend of the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon, so most humans recognized it.

The soldier no longer paid attention to the man beside him and hurriedly ran off to sound the alarm for an enemy attack!

The alarm immediately echoed throughout Devil Expulsion Pass, and every guard became fully alert.

One Demon Hunt Squad after another also appeared atop the city walls.

Those with sharp eyesight stared at the flying creature still soaring through the air and shouted.

"Holy shit, it's a Heaven Defying Demon Dragon! Why is a Heaven Defying Demon Dragon appearing at Devil Expulsion Pass?!"

"Could the Demon God Emperor have come personally?"

In an instant, the entire Devil Expulsion Pass descended into chaos. This was the Demon God Emperor!

Just as Devil Expulsion Pass prepared to face this formidable enemy, Lin Feng was riding the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon through the skies.
