Chapter 26 The Beast King ascends the throne
"Ahead lies the Yunmeng Marsh. The Yunmeng Marsh is vast, and we, the strange beasts, only occupy a small part of it."

A Yuan looked at Yun Mengze with a cautious expression.

"They must have escaped into Yunmengze."

Based on the information gathered, Nangong Renshe must have panicked and carelessly entered Yunmengze.

Looking at the distant Yunmengze, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think of that ancient domain and the Black Emperor.

"Brother, this place is not a good place for you. The alien beasts are at war now. If you, a cultivator, go in and are discovered, it will be troublesome."

"Even if it's difficult, we still have to do it."

Liu Chengfeng was worried about Nangong Renshe and his safety.

Just then, the giant beast roared, its breath billowing like a raging storm.

With a deafening roar, a gigantic beast, hundreds of meters tall and resembling both a cat and a tiger, knocked down a blue, powerful bull.

The victorious beast had its fur bristling like thousands of sharp swords, and its eyes were emerald green, like large emerald lanterns.

"I am the emperor—"

The victorious beast roared, and all the other beasts on the battlefield knelt down.

"The Lynx King has won, a new mountain lord has been born in Yunmengze, a new order has begun, and the next step may be to take over the Great Mengshan Mountain."

Seeing this, A-Yuan felt a chill run down her spine.

As expected, the new mountain lord, the Lynx King, ascended the throne, sounded the horns, reorganized all the troops, and began to prepare for battle.

"Not only should we take over the Great Mengshan, but we may also have to attack the Great Meng City. The new emperor needs to establish his authority in order to gain recognition."

A-Yuan was startled.

"Something terrible has happened; the city of Da Meng is in grave danger."

Liu Chengfeng's expression changed. Nangong Renshe had gotten lost in Yunmengze, and the Yunmengze army was about to attack Dameng City.

If the Great Meng City were to fall, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We must hurry back to Great Meng City."

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

“Brother, if you go in, the Lynx King will make you the first target to sacrifice. Leave the matter of finding Sect Master Nangong to me. The situation is urgent, you go back to Da Meng City.”

"Alright, I'll return to Da Meng City. I'll leave the sect leader to you."

Liu Chengfeng considered it in his mind. A Yuan was a strange beast, and his entry into Yunmengze was like a fish entering the sea. If he followed him in, he would only get in the way.

His safety was at stake, so he had to return to the city.

"Get out—" Just as Liu Chengfeng and A Yuan were discussing countermeasures, they heard a roar. The Lynx King was fighting with someone, and its roar shook the earth.

The lynx king shattered the mountain peaks, roaring and charging, stirring up a frenzy among the beasts.

The Lynx King had not yet emerged from the Yunmeng Marsh when its powerful beastly breath surged like a tidal wave towards Mount Meng.

All the birds and beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions, while the weak and strange creatures trembled with fear.

"Brother, leave it to me."

Seeing the chaos in Yunmengze, the opportunity had come, and A Yuan rushed into Yunmengze.

Liu Chengfeng didn't linger; he turned and rushed towards the direction of Dameng City.

Liu Chengfeng pushed his speed to the limit, traveling 10,000 kilometers a day, crossing mountains and valleys.

The birds and beasts of Mount Meng were terrified by the lynx king and fled in terror.

Whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, they fled desperately like a tide, trying to get away from Yunmengze.

Among the many fleeing birds and beasts, a fox followed Liu Chengfeng.

The beasts panicked and the birds scattered, trampling everywhere. Liu Chengfeng's blood energy was like a rainbow, and his body was as strong as a mountain. Even if the beasts trampled him, they would be knocked away by Liu Chengfeng.

The fox followed behind Liu Chengfeng safely and quickly.

This fox was pure white, with a bushy tail that turned fiery red at the tip. It was covered in blood and walked with a limp.

Several times, it was nearly trampled to death by other beasts.

"You've worked so hard."

Seeing that the fox was falling behind, whether due to exhaustion or injury, it was almost trampled to death.

Liu Chengfeng was kind-hearted, so he reached out and grabbed the fox, and continued running forward.

The fox bared its teeth at Liu Chengfeng, looking fierce, as if it wanted to bite him.

"Be good, I'm in a hurry."

Liu Chengfeng pressed its head down with his large hand, tucked it into his arms, and continued running wildly.

The fox was badly injured and weak, and could only be forcibly held in Liu Chengfeng's arms, which it was very unwilling to do.

Liu Chengfeng ignored it, focusing on getting back to Dameng City as soon as possible.

With Liu Chengfeng holding it in his arms, the fox was much safer, as it didn't need to run away and wouldn't be trampled by wild beasts. The fox also calmed down.

Liu Chengfeng traversed mountains and valleys, traveling thousands of miles in one go, until the city of Dameng came into view in the distance.

The city of Da Meng remained unconquered, and both sides sounded the retreat.

The beasts temporarily retreated to Mount Meng to prepare for the next attack, and the defenders of Mount Meng also reorganized their troops to prepare for the next bloody battle.

Liu Chengfeng had just crossed the mountain when someone blocked his way before he even reached the city of Dameng.

The one blocking the way was the princess of the Wu family, who held the Rainbow Dragon Sword in her arms, the silver leaf on her forehead gleaming coldly, her expression aloof, her eyes icy, and her killing intent chilling.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon seeing Liu Chengfeng, the Wu family princess let out a cold laugh.

After Liu Chengfeng and A Yuan escaped into Mount Meng, the Shangsheng Wu family, certain that Liu Chengfeng would return, divided their forces to guard every entrance into the city, waiting for him to come back.

If they do not kill Liu Chengfeng and take his head, the Shangsheng Wu family will be unable to explain themselves to the Denglong Holy Sect, let alone to the Ancient Li Royal Court.

The Wu family was determined that Liu Chengfeng was doomed to die.

Upon seeing the Wu family princess, Liu Chengfeng slowed his pace and took out the Thunderclap Staff.

"How do you want to die? By taking your own life, or should I cut off your head?"

Princess Wu was extremely arrogant, staring coldly at Liu Chengfeng, who seemed like a dead man in her eyes.

Princess Wu is a genius, proud and arrogant, and she doesn't take Liu Chengfeng seriously.

For someone at the fourth level of Baoshan, killing Liu Chengfeng would be no problem at all.

She didn't even need to notify anyone else to help. "I'm afraid you don't have that ability."

Liu Chengfeng sneered, not daring to underestimate his opponent. Baoshan was at the fourth level, much stronger than Gu Yao.

Princess Wu slowly drew her sword, and a cold, sharp light rang out.

The two sides were about to clash when the sound of carriages and horses rang out, and a luxurious convoy appeared. Su Youqian sat in the carriage, with beautiful women serving him.

“Miss Wu, this is my brother. You should go back.”

Su Youqian yawned and beckoned Liu Chengfeng to get in the car.

"Young Master Su—"

Princess Wu gave Su Youqian a cold look, feeling somewhat disdainful.

To a genius like her, a dissolute young man like Su Youqian was nothing more than someone with a good family background.

So what? Su Youqian is not only quite capable himself, but he also has a large group of bodyguards around him, none of whom are weak.

Su Youqian was, after all, one of the heirs to the royal family and the only grandson favored by Lady Chen; his status and position were undeniable.

What can the princess of the Wu family do to him? She can't stop him from taking Liu Chengfeng away.

Just then, a roar resounded, and a team suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sweeping across the sky and standing in front of Su Youqian and his group.

This team exudes a chilling aura, giving one the feeling of having fought on a long battlefield.

This kind of imposing presence is completely different from Su Youqian's extravagant entourage.

Driving in front of Su Youqian was a purple carriage with a crossbeam, inlaid with gold and silver, and guarded by iron-clad soldiers.

A beautiful woman sat in the carriage. She wore a pale yellow robe and a phoenix-embroidered cloak. She had a slender waist, a captivating gaze, and luscious lips.

This woman was incredibly powerful; her body radiated a fiery aura that made it difficult for people to breathe.

Whether it was the Wu family princess or Su Youqian, they were both overshadowed by her imposing presence.

"Princess Ye—"

Upon seeing this woman, even the aloof princess of the Wu family softened her demeanor and bowed respectfully.

Princess Wu, her title of princess is self-proclaimed, while other people's title of county princess is bestowed by the emperor of Qiuchi Kingdom.

Ye Yiqing, the daughter of the Grand Marshal, and the younger sister of Ye Yitian.

"Su Youqian, you go and refuse."

Ye Yiqing disliked Su Youqian and looked at him coldly.

Princess Wu is a genius, but only within the Wu family. Ye Yiqing is a genius, but only within the entire Qiuchi Kingdom.

At the same age, Ye Yiqing was already a powerful figure who guided the divine treasures.

It's no wonder Ye Yiqing looks down on Su Youqian. Su Youqian is less virtuous than her and is dissolute. How could she possibly marry Su Youqian?

"It was your dad who came to propose marriage, what does it have to do with me? It's not like I wanted to marry you."

Su Youqian also disliked Ye Yiqing; he wasn't a stud pig and hated this kind of arranged marriage.

"you--"

Ye Yiqing's expression changed drastically, her eyes blazing with fury, the flames burning so fiercely that even the surrounding vegetation caught fire.

"I know you're powerful, but you think you can burn me to death? Go ahead and burn me to death if you dare."

Su Youqian looked like he was giving up. He was not as strong as Ye Yiqing, but Ye Yiqing could not really kill him.

Ye Yiqing is of noble birth, being the daughter of the Grand Marshal, while Su Youqian is of even higher status, being one of the heirs to the throne.

"Alright, I'm going to have a drink with my buddies. You guys can forget about it."

Su Youqian ignored Ye Yiqing, enjoying the company of the beautiful woman, and led Liu Chengfeng into the city.

Ye Yiqing's face turned ugly with anger.

"Princess, calm down. There's always a way." The aloof princess of the Wu family acted like a maid in front of Ye Yiqing, as she also wanted to befriend Ye Yiqing.

“Miss Wu is welcome to come to our Grandmaster’s Mansion.”

"Really?"

“I will introduce you to my brother.”

"Thank you, Princess."

Princess Wu was overjoyed. With the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect as their backing, the Ascending Wu family's position would be even more secure if she joined the Grandmaster's Mansion.

"I need to see the Old Madam; the Beast King is coming."

On the carriage, Liu Chengfeng explained to Su Youqian the seriousness of the situation.

"Brother, I can pass on the message to you, but it will take time, and that's not something I can control."

Liu Chengfeng knew that the old lady must be fighting against She Tian and couldn't escape.

"But there is one thing I can decide: I will take you there regarding the Xianjuan cultivation method."

"Really?" One of the important purposes of Liu Chengfeng's trip to Da Meng City this time was to cultivate the Sage Scroll Technique.

“I took up your time last time, so let’s forget about the assessment. I’ll take you to study a cultivation technique.”

Su Youqian was very loyal, so he took Liu Chengfeng and ran into the city, but instead of going to Tiger Hill, they went to an old ancestral hall in the southern corner of the city.

“Brother, let me tell you, this was once the place where one of our Su family’s ancestors cultivated.”

“Back then, our ancestor created a flying sword technique here. It was a top-grade skill. He inscribed the technique here, and whoever can comprehend it will own it.”

"A top-grade Sage Scroll?" "Yes, a top-grade Sage Scroll from the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury. No one in our Su family has ever been able to comprehend it." Top-grade Sage Scrolls from the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury are extremely rare; even ancient kingdoms struggle to possess them.

Not to mention Qiuchi Kingdom, which is at the Grandmaster level, this is already an astonishing achievement.

However, no one in the Su family has been able to comprehend it.

"Brother, since you are a genius, we will protect you for three days. If you can comprehend this technique within three days, it will be yours."

"Time is of the essence. The beasts are attacking the city. Brother, this is all I can do for you. In three days, I may have to leave Da Meng City as well." Su Youqian and his armored guards stood outside the ancient shrine, protecting Liu Chengfeng.

Su Youqian is incredibly righteous and has already done enough for Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng stood in the ancient ancestral hall, looking at the six stone pillars in front of him.

The stone pillars are tall and rough, covered with crisscrossing sword marks.

Even after ten thousand years, every sword mark still exudes sword energy.

The flying sword technique is hidden within these sword marks.
