Chapter 2183: Chapter 2180: Escape

"How do we resolve this predicament?" the older woman asked.

Ling Feng smiled. "Before that, shouldn’t you first be honest about who you are?"

The woman’s face showed a hint of doubt, but the little girl tugged at her. "I trust this big brother!"

The woman was stunned for a moment. Her Highness had an ability that could sense whether the other party harbored ill intent. Since Her Highness trusted this man, it meant this man bore them no malice.

"We are of the Demon Emperor bloodline of the Demon Race!" the woman said slowly. "My name is Yue Xin, and this is Huang Le, the direct-bloodline heir of our former Demon Emperor. The current Demon Emperor ambushed and killed Huang Le’s father, seized the Demon Emperor’s throne, and sent people to hunt us down!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly. "So the current Demon Emperor is..."

"He’s my uncle," Huang Le said softly. "My father was tired of fighting the humans and wanted to propose peaceful coexistence, but my uncle found out. He considered my father a traitor to the Demon Race, so he joined forces with some of my father’s opponents and ambushed and killed him. They even fabricated charges against my father and put a bounty on us!"

Ling Feng’s brows creased a little. "So, your uncle is a hardliner, then—he wants war with the Human Clan?"

"Yes. He has always held intense hostility toward the Human Clan," Huang Le said softly. "We had planned to seek refuge with the Demon King of Magic Heaven and expose my uncle’s crimes, to reverse the antagonism between the two races."

Ling Feng fell into thought. Could this be the challenge he was meant to face on this level?

In all fairness, Ling Feng naturally hoped the two races could live in peace. Even if this wasn’t a real world, in Ling Feng’s heart he still thought that way. After so many years, he truly loathed war.

"How confident are you that you can restore the Demon Race’s situation?" Ling Feng looked at Huang Le and asked.

"The Demon King of Magic Heaven is the strongest of the Eight Great Demon Kings, and the most loyal to my imperial father," Huang Le said. "As long as I can gain the support of the Demon King of Magic Heaven, I’m more than sixty percent confident I can overthrow my uncle’s rule!"

Ling Feng nodded. "All right, I’ll help you."

"You?" Yue Xin looked at Ling Feng, then shook her head. "With just your strength, you can’t help us. Now that Cloud Province City is besieged, we can only leave once the Heavenly Dragon Envoy is driven back."

"That’s impossible. Cloud Province City won’t last that long," Ling Feng said calmly. "Right now, a hundred thousand Monster Beasts outside have completely turned Cloud Province City into an isolated city. If the other cities can’t quickly send reinforcements, Cloud Province City will fall sooner or later. And once the city falls, you’re as good as dead!"

"Then what do we do? Are we supposed to step out on our own? That’ll just get us killed faster!" Yue Xin suddenly looked at Ling Feng warily. "You’re not planning to trade Her Highness’s life for the safety of Cloud Province City, are you?"

Ling Feng cast a disdainful glance at Yue Xin. "Even if I handed you over right now, it’d be completely useless. Since your current Demon Emperor’s goal is to destroy the Human Clan, would he give up this perfect chance to attack Cloud Province City?"

Yue Xin’s face showed a contemplative look.

"You’re worth more alive than dead right now," Ling Feng said to them. "I’ll help you escape this predicament, but you have to cooperate with me as well. How about it?"

"You can help us out of this? You’re not lying to me?" Yue Xin simply didn’t believe it.

Ling Feng said lightly, "You’ll know soon enough whether I’m lying. But before we leave, we have to resolve the crisis at Cloud Province City first."

Outside Cloud Province City, the City-Protecting Great Array was already on the verge of collapse. Under the corrosion of the Formation-Breaking Bees, the Formation had opened up a sizable breach, and countless Monster Beasts were pouring through it.

The soldiers of Cloud Province City were engaged in a desperate battle with the Monster Beasts around the breach, and both sides had already left a great many corpses on the ground.

"At this rate, the City-Protecting Great Array is bound to be broken sooner or later," the Lord of Cloud Province City muttered to himself. "Once we lose the City-Protecting Great Array, our strength will still be at a certain disadvantage compared to the Monster Beasts..."

Just then, a rumbling suddenly came from within Cloud Province City. A gigantic avian creature rose into the air from mid-city and flew toward the outside of the walls.

"What is that? How did something like that appear inside the city?" The Lord of Cloud Province City was greatly shocked.

A white light surfaced on the avian’s body, and then it charged straight into the Formation.

But, to everyone’s surprise, that gigantic avian actually passed through the Formation with ease, without stirring up even the slightest ripple.

"Could that be the so-called Demon Clan Remnants?" The Lord of Cloud Province City’s expression changed. "They can actually pass through the Formation...this is...simply unbelievable!"

The Heavenly Dragon Envoy also noticed what was happening here, and his face changed. "As expected, the remnants are indeed here. Stop them at once! If they resist, kill them without mercy!"

Dozens of Monster Beasts turned into streaks of light and shot toward the avian.

This gigantic avian was none other than Yue Xin, and on her back, Ling Feng and Huang Le also saw the pursuers behind them.

"Ling Feng, I’ve already cooperated with you and come out. Now it’s your turn!" Yue Xin’s voice came.

Standing on her back, Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Don’t worry, leave it to me!"

"Thunder Method, Thunderclap Summon!" Ling Feng let out a low shout and brought his hands together. The sky instantly darkened, and countless strands of Thunder Power gathered around Ling Feng.

"Go!" Ling Feng shouted. Countless bolts of Thunder turned into dozens of Thunder Dragons that blasted toward the Monster Beasts behind them.

In the wake of the Thunder Dragons, the dozens of pursuing Monster Beasts had already been reduced to dust.

"Big brother, you’re amazing!" Huang Le’s eyes widened in surprise.

Ling Feng’s face had gone pale. He spoke in a low voice. "Use this chance and go, quickly!"

Yue Xin was also quite shocked. That Thunder strike just now had been immensely powerful, which showed that this guy’s strength was far from ordinary.

But having driven off the pursuers behind them, Yue Xin did not waste the opportunity. With a flap of her wings, she swiftly left the battlefield.

The Heavenly Dragon Envoy’s expression changed. He had never imagined that the pursuers he had sent would be wiped out by the enemy so quickly.

"Damn it!" The Heavenly Dragon Envoy ground his teeth. "You lot keep attacking Cloud Province City. I’ll take some men and chase Huang Le!"

With that, the Heavenly Dragon Envoy led a group of experts in pursuit in the direction where Yue Xin had disappeared.

Without the command of the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, the pressure on Cloud Province City lessened considerably. More importantly, only the Heavenly Dragon Envoy could control the Formation-Breaking Bees. Without him, the City-Protecting Great Array gradually stabilized again, and the two sides fell into a standoff.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, although Yue Xin was very fast, her strength was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Dragon Envoy, and under his pursuit, she was already about to be caught.
