Because of their sudden arrival, the people below naturally grew extremely curious about the identities of those hovering high in the sky.

However, thinking they might get to witness a good show, many of the onlookers simply smirked and looked up with amusement.

"Who dares cause trouble in my Demon Flame Valley?!"

Just as Lin Feng and his group arrived, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted across the vast valley.

The voice rolled like a peal of thunder, its echoes reverberating like a holy chant, shaking everyone's hearts and minds.

As the voice faded, numerous figures began to flicker and emerge from every part of the valley.

In just a few blinks of an eye, a group of Demon Flame Valley experts—each emanating fierce killing intent—soared into the air.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the twenty or so people who had arrived. A flicker of seriousness passed through his eyes.

These were no ordinary fighters. More than half of them had reached Dou Huang or higher.

Among them were also several familiar faces from the Spirit Mountain City auction, such as Elder Fang Yan and two other Nine-Star Dou Huang elders.

At the head of these experts stood an old man with blood-red hair, clad in a yellow robe adorned with skull patterns.

His face was extremely gaunt, the skin tightly wrapped around his bones—he looked like a living skeleton.

At first glance, he appeared just like a walking skull.

Sunken eyes glowed faintly with a ghostly light, eerie and sinister, like will-o'-the-wisps.

Yet it was this seemingly fragile old man—who looked like he'd be blown away by a gust of wind—that made Lin Feng sense something strange.

Around the old man, the surrounding space rippled ever so slightly.

Though the fluctuations were incredibly faint, Lin Feng, whose soul power was remarkably strong, could still detect them.

"Lin Feng! What's the meaning of bringing people to my Demon Flame Valley?"

Once in the air, Fang Yan, who had previously met Lin Feng, quickly recognized him and immediately demanded an explanation.

When the others heard Lin Feng's name, many of them also frowned.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion held considerable power in the Black-Corner Region.

For them to come here in such a bold and brazen manner—it clearly wasn't for anything peaceful.

Faced with Fang Yan's question, Lin Feng smiled faintly and replied, "It's nothing much. Today, I've simply come to invite Demon Flame Valley to submit to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

"What?!"

The moment those words left his mouth, an uproar swept through the ranks of Demon Flame Valley.

Their Founder, Old Ground Demon Ghost, was a Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Even though Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had previously shown a Dou Zong-level expert at the auction, it was still far from matching such a level.

And now they dared suggest Demon Flame Valley should submit?

Was this a joke?

Sure enough, Fang Yan's face instantly darkened after hearing Lin Feng's words.

It was clear that Lin Feng had come to make trouble.

Since that was the case, there was no longer any need for courtesy.

"Young brat, you've got some nerve. Do you really think you can devour my Demon Flame Valley? Do you take me, your host, for some spineless clay doll?"

The blood-haired elder in the yellow robe narrowed his eyes, his tone as cold as death itself.

"Or is it that the two little girls behind you, both at the Dou Zong level, gave you the courage to attempt such madness?"

Even before Fang Yan could respond, Old Ground Demon Ghost had already spoken, his killing intent saturating every word.

Having roamed the Black-Corner Region for so many years, this was the first time someone had dared speak to him this way after reaching Dou Zong level.

And those who survived here in the Black-Corner Region rarely had good tempers.

To him, Lin Feng was already a dead man.

The other experts standing beside Old Ground Demon Ghost were visibly startled by his words.

Their gazes shifted in surprise toward the two beautiful women behind Lin Feng—Medusa and Xiao Yixian.

They hadn't expected these two stunningly attractive women to actually be Dou Zong powerhouses!

As Old Ground Demon Ghost's voice rang out, filled with murderous intent, Lin Feng slightly turned his head and replied calmly, "Where my courage comes from is none of your concern. What you need to do is lead Demon Flame Valley in surrendering to me."

"You little brat, you're seeking death!"

Hearing Lin Feng's unshaken tone, a sudden cold gleam flashed in Old Ground Demon Ghost's ghostly eyes.

The cruel glint that flickered in those flame-like pupils sent chills down the spines of all present.

A surge of icy killing intent blasted from the depths of everyone's hearts.

Just as his words fell, Old Ground Demon Ghost's fingers twitched slightly.

In the next instant, five sharp streaks of icy Dou Qi shot out from his fingertips like spears, aimed directly at Lin Feng's head.

The chilling Dou Qi roared with brutal wind force, like an avalanche of frost bearing down on him.

Just before the frigid attacks could strike Lin Feng, two graceful figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Vast torrents of multicolored Dou Qi and dark green flames erupted forth, colliding head-on with the five piercing icy blasts.

The three forces clashed violently in the sky, then dispersed into nothingness.

"Hmph! Do you really think that just two Four-Star Dou Zongs can defeat me?"

Seeing his attack blocked by the two women, Old Ground Demon Ghost's eyes flashed with cruelty. His cold, grim tone was like the chill of deep winter.

"You talk too much!"

Medusa let out a cold snort. Dou Qi rapidly condensed in her hand.

In an instant, a long sword formed from seven-colored energy appeared in her pale palm.

With a sudden swing, several ten-meter-wide sword beams of rainbow light shot out and surged toward Old Ground Demon Ghost.

"You little girl... Looks like you're determined to die!"

Seeing Medusa's move, Old Ground Demon Ghost's eyes narrowed as the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

A dozen or more thick ice shields, each several meters wide, rapidly formed in front of him, blocking the incoming rainbow sword beams one after another.

However, just as the sword beams were dissipating, a wave of scorching dark-green flames came roaring down from above, enveloping his head!

"An Heavenly Flame? Tch, too bad your strength still falls short!"

Old Ground Demon Ghost raised his head slightly. Looking up at the descending dark-green flame, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes—but soon, he sneered coldly.

He had absolute confidence in his strength.

Aside from those few old freaks at Jia Nan Academy, he feared no one!

At the same time, Old Ground Demon Ghost tapped his toes against the air.

In an instant, endless black cold energy erupted from his body, shrouding the space around him.

As the dark chill grew thicker, it completely swallowed his figure in a swirling cloud.

The temperature of the entire area plummeted rapidly.

Many weaker individuals couldn't help but tremble violently in the cold.

Though Old Ground Demon Ghost's actions seemed slow, everything happened in a mere instant.

Just as the dark chill fully gathered, the scorching dark-green flames crashed down.

Extreme cold and intense heat—two polar opposite energies—collided in midair and violently exploded.

The alternating forces of burning and freezing caused immense suffering for many low-ranked disciples of Demon Flame Valley nearby.

Medusa, of course, wasn't going to just stand by and watch.

Her seven-colored longsword trembled slightly, then pierced straight toward Old Ground Demon Ghost!

"All elders, kill them!"

Seeing Old Ground Demon Ghost locked in intense combat, Elder Fang Yan, the Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley, pointed at Lin Feng's group and barked a sharp order at the other elders behind him.

"Understood, Grand Elder!"

With a united roar, the elders' Dou Qi wings burst open as they shot toward the experts of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing this, Lin Feng remained calm and said, "Hold them off. I'll take care of their three strongest elders myself."

"Understood!"

The powerful experts behind Lin Feng responded in unison and immediately charged at the opponents they had chosen for themselves.

Among them, Zi Yan, who had been itching for a fight for a long time, bent her short legs slightly. Her Dou Qi wings flapped once as she was the first to soar forward into battle.

Her small fists were now wrapped in a pair of purple clawed gauntlets.

These gauntlets had been specially forged for her using the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Claws, and they were currently her favorite weapons!

In the azure sky, dozens of radiant light streaks suddenly burst forth in all directions.

These lights quickly scattered evenly throughout the sky above Demon Flame Valley, like brilliant stars stretching across the heavens.

Soon, they clashed fiercely with the incoming enemy lights.

The varied Dou Techniques released by both sides exploded in dazzling brilliance, flashing endlessly.

From a distance, it was a spectacular display of color and chaos.

As the two sides' elders clashed again and again in fierce combat…

Fang Yan, along with the Second and Third Elders, frowned slightly as they watched the battle unfold. Then, without a word, they withdrew their gazes.

Their expressions hardened as they turned to Lin Feng, icy light flashing in their eyes.

The three exchanged glances, then swiftly took formation in a triangular pattern and began to approach him with practiced coordination.
