"Leng Xiao, can you go any faster?"

Standing atop the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon's back, Lin Feng felt the evening wind howling past him.

Facing Lin Feng's one-sided request, Leng Xiao said smugly, "Of course I can. Hold on tight!"

At once, the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon's enormous body swooped and weaved through the air like a roller coaster.

The intense feeling of weightlessness sent Lin Feng soaring.

One word: Awesome!

At first, Leng Xiao had been somewhat unwilling to let Lin Feng ride her, but under his praise, she gradually lost herself. To prove that she could fly even faster, she held nothing back and answered every one of Lin Feng's requests.

However, compared to Lin Feng and Leng Xiao's peaceful interaction, Yue Ye and Cai'er were getting along rather less peacefully.

While Lin Feng and Leng Xiao were having a great time, the two behind them had fallen into a cold war, each finding the other displeasing...

But since Lin Feng and Leng Xiao were having so much fun, they paid no attention to them.

After taking Lin Feng on an extreme aerial flight for half an hour, Leng Xiao landed atop a deserted mountain, panting heavily.

One hand on her slender waist, Leng Xiao waved at Lin Feng with the other. "I can't do this anymore. You asked for too many flying maneuvers. This is already my limit."

Seeing Leng Xiao's exhausted expression, Lin Feng thoughtfully handed her two pills that restored spiritual energy.

"Since you worked so hard today, if you want to fight in the future, you can come find me at Devil Expulsion Pass," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Really?" Leng Xiao's fatigue instantly vanished, and she looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Although she had lost miserably in her battle against Lin Feng, Leng Xiao could clearly feel that her practical combat skills had improved considerably.

If she sparred with Lin Feng, their strength was fairly close. He was an excellent sparring partner.

But then Leng Xiao seemed to recall something. She leaned closer, widened her eyes, and said, "You're not allowed to use that cheap skill."

Lin Feng nodded. Naturally, he knew she meant the Eye of Thunderous Judgement.

Seeing Lin Feng agree, Leng Xiao suddenly clenched her fist and gave a soft snort. "As long as you don't use that cheap skill, you definitely can't beat me."

Yue Ye could not help shaking her head at Leng Xiao, who only had fighting on her mind. She would not even realize if she had been sold off.

Seeing Leng Xiao nearly opening her heart to Lin Feng and chatting with him about anything and everything, Yue Ye quickly interrupted, "It seems the people at Devil Expulsion Pass have sensed Leng Xiao's presence. We should leave as well."

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to fulfill what I promised you," Yue Ye added.

"Mm, just remember it. I look forward to our next meeting."

After replying to Yue Ye, Lin Feng turned to Cai'er. "Cai'er, we should head back too."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Cai'er, who had been cold toward Yue Ye the entire way, rarely showed a smile. She obediently followed behind Lin Feng.

As she drew near, she habitually took Lin Feng's hand.

However, Yue Ye had been holding in a bellyful of anger the entire journey. Seeing Cai'er and Lin Feng chatting and laughing together, her competitive spirit suddenly made her speak up.

"Wait."

"Is there anything else?" Cai'er, whose mood had improved considerably, immediately became somewhat displeased upon hearing Yue Ye's voice.

"I wasn't calling you." Yue Ye shed her earlier forcefulness and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of vulnerability in her tone. "Um... Kong, I still don't know how to contact you next time."

Faced with Yue Ye's extremely suggestive question, Lin Feng could clearly feel Cai'er's grip on his hand tighten.

Lin Feng also understood that Yue Ye was deliberately trying to provoke Cai'er.

Still, hearing Yue Ye call him simply Kong did sound rather intimate.

After giving it some thought, Lin Feng answered, "Lin Feng. Just call me by my full name from now on. As for how to contact me, the girl you placed by my side, Lin Yun, is quite suitable."

Upon hearing this, not only was Yue Ye stunned, but even Cai'er failed to react for a moment.

In truth, the instant he had seen Yue Ye and Leng Xiao in the Devil Subduing Mountain Range, he had understood that there was a spy by his side. Otherwise, his information could not have been exposed so quickly.

After all, there were not many people who knew that he had dealt with the map seller.

"It wasn't unjust for me to lose to you. I hope our next meeting will be more pleasant," Yue Ye said, looking at Lin Feng.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Ye vanished from the area with Leng Xiao.

Not long after Yue Ye and Leng Xiao left, Lin Feng and Cai'er departed as well.

Beneath the gates of Devil Expulsion Pass.

Seeing the exaggerated state of alert before him, Lin Feng knew he had gone too far.

At that moment, every Demon Hunt Squad still in Devil Expulsion Pass had gathered atop the city walls. He even spotted his future father-in-law, Sheng Lingxin, as well as Cai'er's mother.

Just as Lin Feng entered Devil Expulsion Pass with Cai'er, Ying Suifeng appeared before them.

"You two are finally back. If you'd been any later, I would've gone to the Devil Subduing Mountain Range to look for you," Ying Suifeng said.

"It's fine. We just returned from the Devil Subduing Mountain Range and were about to go to the Demon Hunt Tower to turn in our mission."

Seeing that the two of them were indeed unharmed, Ying Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget the Demon Hunt Tower for now. I'll take you two back first. This place isn't safe for the moment."

Looking at the crowd as if they faced a formidable enemy, Lin Feng thought for a moment before speaking. "Are you worried about the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon outside?"

Ying Suifeng nodded, his expression somewhat grave. "The Heaven Defying Demon Dragon clan rarely appears. The last few times they appeared in the human world, the Demon God Emperor was present."

"Actually, that wasn't the Demon God Emperor's Heaven Defying Demon Dragon..." Seeing this, Lin Feng told him about Leng Xiao, though he concealed Yue Ye's involvement.

Leng Xiao was easy enough to explain—he could simply say he had encountered her in the wilderness. Yue Ye's identity, on the other hand, was too complicated to explain clearly in a short time.

When he learned that the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon from earlier was the Demon God Emperor's daughter—and that she had been defeated by Lin Feng and fled—Ying Suifeng was utterly stunned.

He knew Lin Feng was exceptionally strong among those at his level, but he had never imagined Lin Feng could be this strong.

"You and Cai'er should head back first. I'll handle what comes next." Ying Suifeng had yet to recover from what Lin Feng had just told him.

But just as Lin Feng was about to leave with Cai'er, Ying Suifeng suddenly called out to him and took out a letter.

"I almost forgot about this. You remember that One-Armed Old Man from Knight Sacred Mountain, right?" Ying Suifeng said.

When Lin Feng nodded, Ying Suifeng continued, "He has invited you to Bright Moon City. He wants you to complete the knight assessment there, and he'll be waiting for you as well."

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the old man to take the initiative and invite him.

Lin Feng looked at Ying Suifeng. "What do you think, Teacher?"

Ying Suifeng fell silent for a moment before saying, "There isn't much more I can teach you about being an assassin. Cai'er's Sight Trial is about to begin too. This trial is rather special, and she needs to return to that place to familiarize herself with it for a while. The two of you will definitely be unable to see each other for some time..."
