Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 414 Hong Tao's Summoning
The minor conflict ended quickly; it was really just a few words exchanged, and neither of them was foolish enough to actually fight in such a situation.

Even if we wanted to fight, we couldn't.

At this moment, high-ranking officials from various clubs, forces, and conglomerates gathered. There were at least dozens of powerful figures in the banquet hall. Anyone who dared to make a move in front of them would only be asking for trouble.

At this point, Zhao Zhou and his group had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Tonight's dinner is a victory celebration.

Celebrate the closure of the portal to the Chaotic Lands.

The volunteers are the stars of today's banquet and the heroes of this event.

Lin Feng's team performed the best in the chaotic land this time, killing more than a thousand people, including a dozen or twenty kings, and made the greatest contribution.

Zhao Zhou and his group were not volunteers.

Uninvited guests should be discreet, but they actually clashed with Lin Feng and his group. Regardless of who was right or wrong, this was very impolite.

Many of the volunteers shared a common hatred for the enemy, and some guardians even wanted to teach Zhao Zhou and the others a lesson.

Zhao Zhou and the others clearly sensed that something was wrong. Their expressions changed slightly, and they stopped gathering together and dispersed.

"That's really awesome."

Yun Tianqi said to Ye Xing beside him, "If Lin Feng had been there during the last conflict, he definitely wouldn't have suffered a loss."

At 8 p.m., a man who looked like an official appeared in the center of the banquet hall and gave a speech.

The main message was to express gratitude to the volunteers for their contributions during this crisis.

"Too much nonsense. Why not give us some tangible rewards? If you don't have any demon spirits, some money or pills would be fine too!"

Yu Qiao sipped his wine and said softly.

Just then, a young man appeared in front of Lin Feng and whispered something in his ear. Lin Feng nodded, glanced at the crowd, said nothing, and followed the young man away.

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, Yun Kai's eyes revealed worry.

They knew that Hong Tao had sent someone to call Lin Feng away, and it was most likely related to Hong Yi.

It's good that this matter hasn't been discovered yet; if it had, Lin Feng would definitely be in danger.

Hong Tao was able to seal the Heavenly Ranking monsters into his own clansmen, which clearly shows that he was not a soft-hearted person.

He would do anything to achieve his goal, even burying them all in the chaos, including his own children!

How could such a ruthless person not inspire fear?

Lin Feng followed behind the young man. The two did not chat idly and soon left the banquet hall, walked through the long corridor, turned left and right, and came to the outside of a room.

"Go in on your own."

The young man left after he finished speaking.

Lin Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down, knocked on the door, and entered the room.

Inside the room, there was only one strong man, dressed in gray-white cloth, with dark skin, looking like an old farmer – Hong Tao.

Hong Tao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at a document in his hand.

Lin Feng bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Lin Feng!"

Hong Tao put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Lin Feng, and said with a smile, "This is our second meeting."

Lin Feng remained silent, still bowing.

"Come and sit down. Don't be so formal. You've done a great job this time, and you deserve to sit down in front of me."

Hong Tao pointed to the sofa opposite him and said to Lin Feng.

"Thank you, Emperor Hong. Standing is fine."

Lin Feng said that he was somewhat nervous in front of the emperor, even though he was usually calm.

Seeing that Lin Feng seemed a little awkward and didn't dare to sit down, Hong Tao didn't try to persuade him further: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"It must be about a medium!"

Hong Tao smiled and said, "Then tell me, where did the spiritual medium go?"

"I don't know either. Maybe they escaped, or maybe they're already dead," Lin Feng said, shaking his head.

Hong Tao looked at Lin Feng quietly, and a surge of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and enveloped Lin Feng, but Lin Feng did not notice it at all.

At this moment, Hong Tao could sense Lin Feng's heartbeat and pulse, which were normal and stable.

He didn't believe Lin Feng would dare to keep it from him. Lin Feng and Hong Yi had no relationship whatsoever; hiding her would only do Lin Feng harm, not good.

No one would do something that would harm themselves.

The novice monk's body contained his seal. Although Hong Tao could not sense the novice monk's existence at this moment, he could control the novice monk's life and death.

Therefore, even if Lin Feng saves the medium, it will be meaningless.

As for removing the seal he left inside the novice monk, that's even more impossible.

Even emperors cannot do it.

Hong Tao was still unsure whether the medium was alive or dead, so he had no immediate plans to detonate the novice monk's weapon.

As his spiritual energy gradually dissipated, Hong Tao looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Do you know why I let the medium enter the Chaotic Land?"

"I guessed it! That's why I took the medium with me."

Lin Feng nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

What do you think? How do you feel?

Lin Feng didn't hesitate and said directly, "I don't want to become a sacrifice. I was furious when I guessed it, but if we lose the key battle, it's the only way. It's just that I can't accept it."

Lin Feng spoke frankly about this.

Hong Tao is the true power holder. Although his actions are too cold-blooded, from a broader perspective, he doesn't seem to be wrong.

It was even the right choice.

Compared to the chaotic lands merging in Shangjing, the cost of their complete demise is not unacceptable. At least the losses of the alien races would be greater. Not to mention those alien kings, the six royal-level demon beasts alone are more than enough to justify this.

"That's quite true!"

Hong Tao laughed, saying that he didn't really care about Lin Feng's opinion.

Lin Feng is just a weakling, a nobody. Even if he becomes a king or even an emperor in the future, he doesn't care about his opinion.

To become extraordinary, he has his own principles, dares to make that decision, and carries it out personally, so he is not afraid of arousing anyone's criticism or hatred.

Hong Tao continued, "How did you kill four kings?"

"I have a substitute soul skill. I was lucky enough to ambush and kill two people first. Then, I cooperated with Ye Xing and Ye Qiu to continuously use the substitute soul skill," Lin Feng explained.

He had already discussed this answer with Ye Xing and Ye Qiu beforehand, and he wasn't afraid of being exposed.

Hong Tao did not raise any questions.

Ye Xing and Ye Qiu both refined Earthly Ranking demon spirits, and their levels were both very high. They were skilled in close combat, so if they suppressed their strength, they did have a chance of success.

What truly surprised him was the incredibly high level of Lin Feng's soul skills, almost ridiculously so. He actually possessed two god-level soul skills, while even he, a transcendent powerhouse, only had one.

Divine-level soul skills are extremely rare, something you can only encounter once in a lifetime, and absorbing them is even more difficult.

Hong Tao had absorbed divine-level soul skills three times, but only succeeded once, while Lin Feng seemed to succeed on the first try every time, which was an unbelievably high success rate.

Not only does a first-tier dragonfish grow at an astonishing rate, but it can also absorb divine-level soul skills, which makes him somewhat suspicious that Lin Feng may possess some special ability or secret.

"How did you absorb the divine-level soul skill?" Hong Tao asked.

Without a second thought, Lin Feng uttered two words: "Talent!"

talent!

Hong Tao smiled.

A young man who wasn't even a champion was talking about talent in front of him.

Hong Tao's smile seemed simple, but for some reason, it sent a chill down Lin Feng's spine.

Hong Tao didn't press further, knowing he wouldn't get any results.

Perhaps Lin Feng has some secret, but he can't find it and has no way to find it.

Even if it were true, it would be of no value to someone who is already extraordinary.

"I heard you've become a candidate for apostle? Why do you want to join the Pure Land?" Hong Tao asked.

"For power."

"Power? That's true, all cultivation is for the sake of power."

Hong Tao picked up the documents on the table again and said, "Go out."

Lin Feng is a talented individual with a brilliant record, but he is too young and his strength is still too weak. He is not even a King yet, so he cannot play any significant role at this stage.
