Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 206 - 207: The Southern Barbarians Invade

Lin Feng shook his head: "Of course not, disciple is confident."

Although Star Palace is strong, Lin Feng does not fear it. As for the three prodigies of Hu Ben Country, Lin Feng pays them no special mind. This is the arrogance of Lin Feng, and also the confidence he derives from his Dragon-type Star.

"That’s good to hear. As your master, I don’t have much to give you. These are resources I’ve gathered over the past few years, initially saved for my descendants; they’re quite valuable. Now that I have no children of my own, and since you’ve become my disciple, these shall belong to you. Of course, there are specific cultivation requirements to open these rings. I’ve set up barriers on this storage ring with three layers. Within each layer, I’ve placed different things, enough to aid your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Iron Spear Divine Marquis threw a storage ring to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng caught the ring, a bronze-colored one, and couldn’t help feeling nostalgic. It was this ring that set him on the path of his rise.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lin Feng said sincerely, filled with gratitude in his heart.

Iron Spear Divine Marquis didn’t say much more, entrusted a few words, and then left on his own.

Lin Feng sat in the room, looking at the ring, and murmured, "Master, the culprit behind your downfall, not only will I prevent that from happening, but I will also uncover and drag that person out!"

He didn’t tinker with the ring, knowing that breaking the first layer’s barrier would require the strength of a Great Martial Master Fifth Layer, the second a Earth Martial Master, and the third an Earth Martial Master Third Layer. Each layer contained numerous cultivation resources, especially the third layer, which housed a combat skill of incredible power.

No sooner had Iron Spear Divine Marquis left than Wang Shan ran in. Seeing that Lin Feng was without injury, he sighed with relief, "I thought for sure you were a goner, but you’re unscathed. What were you discussing with Divine Marquis inside for such a long time?"

Lin Feng didn’t hide anything from Wang Shan and shared some information. Wang Shan looked at him incredulously, "My heavens, Iron Spear Divine Marquis wants to take you as a direct disciple? Am I hearing this right? That’s the Iron Spear Divine Marquis, a Heavenly Martial Master powerhouse, after all."

But then he quickly changed the subject, "Then again, it makes sense. Your Star is so high, and you can kill those beyond your level as easily as playing, you do indeed match up to the status of Iron Spear Divine Marquis."

Lin Feng smiled and then left the wooden hut, his eyes on the distant sea of clouds. Having met his benefactor and killed Yu Wen Tuo, his mood was extremely uplifting.

In the blink of an eye, after Yu Wen Tuo’s death, with the fearful atmosphere it had created, half a month quickly passed by.

Since Yu Wen Tuo’s death, no one in Divine Wind Camp bothered Lin Feng anymore. Although no one voiced it out loud, everyone harbored the suspicion—could Lin Feng be the one who killed Yu Wen Tuo? Thus, they mostly avoided him on sight, treating him like an ominous star to be stayed well clear of.

Iron Spear Divine Marquis also made a statement regarding this, coming forward to clarify that Lin Feng had nothing to do with the matter involving Yu Wen Tuo. Moreover, to compensate for the unfair treatment from certain Chief Instructors in the past, he would grant Lin Feng a substantial amount of Merit, a full ten thousand points.

This caused many to be envious and resentful; such is the treatment of a genius—unfairly wronged, and the Divine Marquis himself stepped in to redress the situation.

As for Hulan Bo, he was transferred to the Northern Territory on the pretext of the Inspector, to oversee the Young Wolf Lord.

Inside the Refining Fire Room.

Lin Feng obtained ten thousand merits and immediately came here to cultivate; now he’s a Great Martial Master Third Layer, and directly went down to the Seventh Layer.

In this place, one day equates to not a hundred merits, but two hundred.

"Begin the cultivation. By the way, the Chi Fire Sword is quite good. It’s also an opportunity to learn some swordsmanship. Just using bare fists is not a solution!"

...

The whole Divine Wind Camp had once again returned to its former stable state, until news of the war in the Northern Territory came, shattering the peace.

North of Hu Ben Country lies a vast expanse of uninhabited, sprawling Barbaric Lands where the Barbarian Country resides. Its population is sparse, but they are all fierce and warlike barbarians. From the age of seven, both boys and girls ride on Demon Beasts, wielding Horn Bows to hunt other Demon Beasts on the plains, living with bloodthirsty brutality.

In the Barbaric Land, there was a genius chieftain of a tribe, named Tuoba Wenjian. Despite being only seventeen, he was skilled in both literary and martial strategies, especially in managing his tribe, unlike many other barbarians who only cared about brute strength. First, he unified the previously independent Seven Great Tribes into one. Then, he began to expand cultivation fields, hunt Demon Beasts, and trade medicinal herbs for Gold Pearls and various resources that the Barbaric Land lacked, such as Combat Skills, to significantly enhance the fighting capabilities of the tribe’s warriors.

Half a month earlier, one of the Seven Great Tribes, the Black Ghost Tribe, launched an invasion on Hu Ben Country. Thirteen towns along the two nations’ border were completely ravaged, three garrisons were directly breached, and thirty thousand soldiers from the Northern Territory’s army were slaughtered without a survivor. Moreover, the other six major tribes also showed signs of gathering and moving southward. In an instant, the entirety of Hu Ben Country was plunged into panic.

Twenty-five days later, Lin Feng left the Refining Fire Room and the first piece of news he heard was like a storm—the topic of everyone’s discussion, overshadowing the death of Yu Wen Tuo.

"Are we going to war with the Barbaric Lands?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows; this event had not occurred in his previous life. The barbarians of the Barbaric Lands knew only to kill and obey, invading these places with extreme cruelty, not leaving even the grass roots behind.

"I remember that there seemed to be an extraordinary young genius in the Barbarian Country, something like Tuoba Wenjian. Although he was quite a character, wasn’t he assassinated by the Young Wolf Master? Could there be a change of events in this life??"

Upon arriving at the Internal Affairs Hall, indeed it was crowded with people.

"Damn, the Barbaric Lands dare to invade our Hu Ben Country? Are they seeking death?"

"As far as I know, the Barbarian Country has changed rulers, and it’s no longer the same as before."

"Pfft, what difference does that make? They are just a group of barbarians. Our Hu Ben Country has the Three Sects; dare they truly rebel? At most, they’ll invade a few small towns, kill a handful of defenseless commoners, and then ride their dirty and ugly big black bulls, scurrying away!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people laughed, their faces mocking. The Northern Territory had the King of the North, after all. Even if the Barbarian Country launched a surprise attack and broke through three garrisons, what of it? They would still have to cough it up later.

Besides, the border armies of the Northern Territory often venture into the Barbaric Lands to loot and plunder when they’re idle. Back and forth, both countries are accustomed to each other.

"You don’t understand, the invaders this time are not the same as the small natives or small tribes we faced before, but the seven strongest tribes of the Barbarian Country."

"What are you joking about? Aren’t those Seven Great Tribes still busy snatching territories from each other? How could they possibly be interested in dealing with us?"
