Duke's Wife

A place like the Abyss was exceptionally special even in the Demon World. Here, not only were magical beasts rampant. According to legend, the deepest part was even the place where expert hermits as well as true divine beasts were entrenched. When the Demon Clan's army conquered the Human World a thousand years ago, there was a divine beast, the Black Phoenix, that came out of the abyss. It brought its own people to follow the Demon Clan's army to conquer the world! At the same time, the deepest part was even home to the legendary spokesperson of the God of the Underworld, the Witch Demon.

　　However, comparatively speaking, it was hard to see even the Witch Demons in the periphery right now.

　　Lin Peng was bored and listened to the bragging of several Fulen family members in front of him. Of course, they were all talking about the 'unfounded' achievements of the magical beasts. This time, almost all of Dark Moon City's elites had mobilised.

　　On Duke Hia's side, Nadas, Lundy and Lin Peng were deployed. On the other hand, the city magistrate, Jace, had sent out Fowles as well as two other high-ranking demons. Such strength might not be much. However, compared to those elites from the other clans, it could really be too much better.

　　The Furen family, the Coles family, had surprisingly sent out a total of four people. Moreover, they who were only middle-ranked demons, one of them was badass. It seemed that even the Demon Beast Kings in the abyss would be afraid when they saw them. 

　　Of course, throughout the day, Nadas couldn't help but want to go up and beat up these guys. However, it was still stopped by Lin Peng. It's none of our business when people talk about others. Moreover, when really high level magical beasts appear, that's when strength appears.

　　Right now ... these people are simply just cannon fodder.

　　However, one of them, a young man from the Fulen family, made Lin Peng pay attention for a moment. Looking at this young man's face, he definitely did not exceed twenty years of age. Moreover, it seemed that even the magic lines hadn't faded away in general. From the eyes to the corners of the mouth, there was surprisingly still a dark blue demonic pattern remaining.

　　Strength, middle-ranked demon. Counting on it, it was also a diligent and gifted demon race. Without that kind of powerful bloodline, arriving at a middle rank demon before the age of twenty could be considered an extremely talented demon.

　　To think that a demon like Lundy, whose bloodline wasn't considered very good, had now reached the strength of a Great Demon in his thirties, was the best witness. Of course, this kind of strength is considered strong in Dark Moon City. But when you really go out to that kind of powerful lord's territory, or the imperial capital, it's really nothing compared to that.

　　'Captain, my own captain ah. Really can't do it? These guys ... I really want to rush up and flatten them ah! What kind of people are they, all day long they are nothing but know how to blow. Still a high-ranking magic beast! A middle-ranked demon, if it can beat a high-ranked magical beast, I'll just eat this knife!' Nadas said with a crying face, patting the long knife at his waist. 

　　The originally square face was even more somewhat distorted at this time. It seemed that forming a squad with such a person was simply a disgrace.

　　Lin Peng shook his head with a faint smile to himself, speaking of which, this Nadas was really a relatively loyal person. Otherwise, after Xiya and Ayrin were made aware of the secret, they would definitely kill this Nadas.

　　However, he was born in Darkmoon City, and then after a step-by-step cultivation arrived at the peak of the current high-ranking Demon. And, has also been diligently cultivating down. With a strength that was straight up against a great demon like Lundy, speaking of which, this guy would definitely be a genius-like character if he had a real bloodline.

　　After all, right now, he was only about thirty years old. Moreover, as the son of a small merchant, to say that he had reached such heights at his current age was also considered to be a result of luck and true talent.

　　Therefore, compared to Lundy, Lin Peng liked this Nadas even more. Although he was straightforward, at least he wasn't tired of chatting. And ... if the talent is good, it is also a good fighting force.

　　Compared to Nadas, Lin Peng instead disliked Lundy. Posing with a face all day long, and ... what was with that glint of essence that one time.

　　'We just need to mind our own business, en ... Lord Fowles, it is almost at the edge of the middle section now. So ... are we going straight in, or are we going to tidy up here first!' Lin Peng patted Nadas' shoulder and turned to look at this Jace's left arm and right hand man and said.

Fowles stopped and immediately smiled after even saying that he didn't dare, and mused: ''En ... With this situation, those low level magical beasts, almost all of them have been consumed by the beast tide. And now ... if we enter the middle section of the abyss, I think it is better to tidy up first. Then ... split up and act separately!'

　　As soon as they heard separate actions, those who were still looking lazy suddenly raised their spirits, and each of them looked at Lin Peng nervously.

　　They were most aware of how strong they were, and if nothing happened in the middle section, if they stayed for at most a day they would absolutely have to become food for the magical beasts. Although it is said that this beast tide has consumed a large number of peripheral and middle stage demonic beasts. However,... a middle ranked demon, at most, it would be good to stay alive under the mouth of a middle ranked demonic beast. If you run into a group of them, it is better to sit obediently and wait to be torn apart.

　　Lin Peng shrugged his shoulders as if he was indifferent and turned to look at Lundy and the representatives of the other clans.

　　'En... I agree. After all, such a group of people, although not many, is not small. Instead, it would attract the attention of the magical beasts. Instead, we can move separately!' Lundy nodded his head after a little thought.

　　However, the other clans, immediately began to retort, 'Why should we split up, if we are attacked by a high level magical beast, let alone finding anything. It might even lose its life!'

　　After a fierce looking demon finished speaking, several others chimed in.

　　Lin Peng sneered after rubbing his chin with two fingers, 'That's also up to you guys, to send a middle-ranked demon like you to explore the abyss, it's also not good enough for your clan to think of it!'

　　'That ... that you are still a demon without much strength!' A more alert demon snorted coldly and looked at Lin Peng coldly.

　　Nadas that fire ah, directly clanked and drew the long knife at his waist: 'Hum ... I am a high level demon top, and Lundy is the strength of a great demon. Then ... are the two of us enough! Or, you two families, four of you can fight against the two of us!'

　　In one sentence, the gang directly ran out of words.

　　'En ... Then it's decided. We three parties, divided into three groups of entering the middle section! Oh ... then ... we'll take our leave first.' After Fowles hemmed and hawed, he turned around and led the two high level demons to enter from the far left.

　　As for Lin Peng, he didn't even look at the people from those two clans and directly entered the forest towards the middle. The few people on the other side, on the other hand, were looking at each other, neither entering nor exiting. In the end, surprisingly, after waiting for a long time, they followed the original Falls' footsteps and walked into the left.

　　It seems, this way at least can pick up the leakage, perhaps avoid being eaten by the magical beasts. After all, Fowles which group can also be very strong!

　　...

　　The darkness of the night in the middle of the abyss was even darker. Right now, it was still in the outer part of the middle section, so there were still large swaths of tall trees. If, if they entered the real middle section, perhaps, no one would know what environment was there. 

　　Even a great demon like Lundy had never gone deeper. Of course, it wasn't that they didn't dare to go deeper, but they simply didn't have the time to do such a thing.

　　A bonfire was burning brightly, and at this moment, Lin Peng was staring blankly at the bonfire, not knowing what he was thinking. On the other hand, Nadas, on the other hand, was snoring away. Meanwhile, Lundy was going out, saying that he was looking to see if there were any dangerous magical beasts nearby.

　　Suddenly, a jump in the fire in his chest alerted Lin Peng. His eyes glanced at Nadas, who was still sleeping and snoring, and he shook his head helplessly and kicked over, 'Get up!'

　　Nadas was startled violently, rolled over and jumped up, 'How ... are there magical beasts?'

　　Saying that, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword. Thus, it seemed that although this guy was sleeping soundly, the psyche was still very vigilant. After a burst of seriousness, Lin Peng shook his head, 'Although there isn't one now, there's no guarantee that there won't be one later! Get up, after packing up, follow me!'

Nadas didn't have any complaints, and surprisingly, after directly packing up his things, he followed Lin Peng towards the other side of Lundy. The night of the abyss was cold, and unable to help it, Nadas shivered. However, when he turned to look at Lin Peng, he realised that not only did this guy not have a trace of coldness, he was even as fit as a fiddle. Although he brought his own luggage, but, with a high level demon like him should be hate easy to keep up with it. But now ... merely, it is just merely able to keep up.

　　'Honestly, what do you think of Lundy as a person?' Lin Peng didn't turn around and said directly.

　　'Hmph, if it weren't for being so many years older than me, I could definitely defeat him!' Nadas did not answer positively, but, reacted with some antipathy towards Lundy in general.

　　Lin Peng, who was walking in front, stopped with a sudden lurch. Making Nadas, who was behind him, stop himself in his tracks, almost crashing into him.

　　'What's going on ... The fire in my chest keeps jumping. It seems ... to be getting stronger and stronger!' Lin Peng was somewhat unable to hold it and stopped, making a wink towards Nadas, who immediately quieted down and looked vigilantly at the tall trees around him.

　　One by one, the tall trees all reached a height of more than ten metres. Some, even exceeded fifty metres. With such heights, even during the day, it seemed eerie much less at night. However, such an environment, on the contrary, had nothing to do with Lin Peng at all.

　　His eyes slowly closed, and a burst of heat penetrated out. At the same time, it was like a retraction that came through once more. Ten metres, twenty metres, thirty metres ... until after fifty metres, Lin Peng felt a little bit overwhelmed.

　　And also at this time, Lin Peng snapped his eyes open and whispered, 'At your fastest speed, run after me!' Saying that, he fiercely scurried out without even turning his head.
