Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Seeing that Chen Feng had already said so, Gao Xian did not persist and immediately told Chen Feng the location of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

The Celestial Fox Clan is tens of thousands of miles away from the City of Ten Thousand Demons. To reach the Celestial Fox Clan, one must cross several large mountain ranges.

The Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild in the Western Regions did not use the teleportation array to reach the Heavenly Fox Clan.

According to Gao Xian, the demon race in the Western Regions is extremely hostile to the human race.

Although the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce has opened up channels to the Western Regions, its influence here is very small.

Moreover, they frequently clash with the demon race here.

"Sect Leader Chen, the demon race is extremely xenophobic, so please be careful," Gao Xian instructed Chen Feng.

He knew that this Sect Master Chen had recently killed several demon lords.

If the Demon God Palace learns that Chen Feng has come to the Western Regions, it will surely cause a great stir.

"Thank you for informing me." After expressing his gratitude, Chen Feng left the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild with Zheng Jiao.

As soon as Chen Feng stepped out of the Chamber of Commerce, he saw a number of demons appearing on the street.

These demons all take on human form, but they are not fully transformed; their bodies are covered with either scales or fur.

Some monsters have the lower half of a beast and the upper half of a human.

These demons weren't very powerful, only around the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Feng looked at Zheng Jiao and asked:

"Isn't the transformation of demons only possible at the Golden Core stage? Why can these Foundation Establishment demon beasts also transform?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's question, Zheng Jiao explained:

"It is true that only those who reach the Golden Core stage can transform into human form, but low-level demonic beasts can transform into human form earlier by consuming herbs. However, this transformation is not complete. In the Western Regions, there is a spiritual herb called Transformation Grass, which allows demonic beasts to transform into human form as long as they consume it."

Chen Feng nodded; he did indeed know relatively little about the demon race.

At this moment, Chen Feng noticed that the surrounding demons were all looking at him with hostility.

This ill will was very obvious and made no attempt to conceal it.

"The demons here are really xenophobic," Chen Feng commented.

Zhengjiao said:

"The reason why they are so hostile to humans is because of the great war between humans and demons back then. Too many demons died in that war."

"Furthermore, in order to cultivate, you human cultivators have been slaughtering our demon race indiscriminately. You refine demon cores into pills, and your hides and bones into magical artifacts. If you were a demon, would you hate it?"

Hearing Zheng Jiao's words, Chen Feng nodded:

"really."

Zhengjiao said with surprise, "I thought you would argue with me, fellow Daoist. What do you mean by humans being the head of all things and naturally superior to demons? I have heard many human cultivators say such things before."

Chen Feng shook his head:

"No species is inherently superior; it's simply a matter of who is stronger. The demon race also devours humans to aid their cultivation."

Zheng Jiao seemed to understand something, then agreed and said, "Fellow Daoist is right. The hatred of these low-level demon races is meaningless. Everything still depends on strength."

Chen Feng seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Zheng Jiao and asked, "When you came to the Western Regions, was your main soul able to sense it?"

Zhengjiao nodded:

"Of course I can sense it. I can sense his location right now."

Chen Feng asked, "Is there any way to interrupt this perception?"

He didn't want to be targeted by the Demon God Temple as soon as he arrived in the Western Regions; that would definitely lead to a major battle.

Zhengjiao thought for a moment and said, "There is a way. As long as I hide my divine soul aura, your star energy might be able to do it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately stopped delaying and left the city with Zheng Jiao.

The two stopped at a hill outside the city.

“Your size is a bit too conspicuous, go down a bit,” Chen Feng said to Zheng Jiao.

Zhengjiao was immediately somewhat unwilling: "Isn't my size just right? It would be so embarrassing to shrink."

Chen Feng didn't speak; he just stared at Zheng Jiao.

Upon seeing Chen Feng's gaze, Zheng Jiao immediately shut up.

The demonic aura emanating from him began to shrink rapidly.

Before long, a small beast the size of a cat appeared in the arena.

The little beast had a pair of black button-like eyes. He looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Is this okay?"

Chen Feng nodded: "Hmm, this size is about right. Lend me some more of your demonic energy."

"Speak," Chen Feng said, drawing out the demonic energy from the Zhenjiao body and swirling it around himself.

In this way, his aura became no different from that of a demon.

Unless it's a high-level demon, they simply can't detect his human identity.

Chen Feng then lifted Zhengjiao off the ground again.

The cunning creature kicked its limbs and said in dissatisfaction:

"Fellow Daoist, please show some respect. I am not a pet!"

Chen Feng ignored the complaining Zheng Jiao and used his stellar energy to envelop Zheng Jiao within it.

"Alright, see if you can sense your main soul." Chen Feng threw the monstrous beast on the ground.

After sensing it for a while, Zheng Jiao said, "I really can't sense it anymore. Fellow Daoist, your stellar energy is simply heaven-defying."

Chen Feng said, "After we finish dealing with the Heavenly Fox Clan, we'll go find your main soul. It would be best if we could kill it with one blow and then leave immediately."

"Alright, I'll go out now." Zheng Jiao naturally had no objections.

Although he really wanted to merge with the main soul, he understood that Chen Feng's matter had to be the top priority.

The man and the beast then transformed into streaks of light and sped away into the distance.

About an hour after Chen Feng and Zheng Jiao left, in the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

Three streaks of light flew over from the distant horizon.

These three streaks of light made no attempt to conceal their presence; the demons of Ten Thousand Demon City sensed them as soon as they arrived.

"Such powerful demonic energy indicates it's at least at the Demon Lord level!"

"Three of them actually came!"

"What are they doing in the City of Ten Thousand Demons?"

The demons of Ten Thousand Demon City did not wander around at this moment, but stayed obediently in place.

The demon race values ​​the principle of "might makes right" even more than the human race.

Those who are strong will be sought after by the demon race, and the hierarchy is very strict.

There are also differences in strength among ethnic groups.

Even when not within their own clan, powerful demons can command demons weaker than themselves.

After the three beams of light arrived above the City of Ten Thousand Demons, they manifested as two men and one woman.

The man on the far right is a middle-aged man with yellow pupils and an extremely robust build.

On the left is a woman with a voluptuous figure, wearing only a few light veils.

Judging solely by her figure, this woman is undoubtedly a top-tier beauty.

But if I saw her face, I wouldn't feel that way anymore.

The woman's face was entirely green, and she had a single, emerald-green vertical pupil between her eyebrows; an ordinary person would probably be unable to sleep if they saw her.

The last person was a boy dressed in a blue robe, about fifteen or sixteen years old, whose appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of a human.

The boy was also the most ordinary-looking of the three.

The demons below were all surprised when they saw the three of them.

"It's the Lion Demon Lord and the Snake Demon Lord! I never expected it to be these two demon lords!"

"These two usually stay in the Demon God Palace and rarely go out, so why are they in the City of Ten Thousand Demons today!"

"That young man, could he be the cunning Deputy Hall Master?"

Upon hearing the name of the cunning deputy temple master, the expressions of all the demons changed drastically. The Demon God Temple could be said to be the faith of all the demons in the Western Regions.

The ten demon lords are the ten strongest half-step deity demons of the Western Regions.

However, one person was stronger than the other nine demon lords and was granted the position of deputy hall master by the demon god.

This person is none other than the cunning demon lord.

The Demon Lord is also the most mysterious figure in the Demon God Palace, and he rarely appears in public.

There have long been rumors among the demon race that the cunning demon lord is the most promising demon lord to advance to the God Transformation realm within a thousand years.

The demons below all showed expressions of admiration.

They were naturally very excited to meet such a legendary figure.

At this moment, within the City of Ten Thousand Demons, a streak of light flew towards the sky.

The beam of light materialized before the cunning demon lord and his companions, revealing an old man with two horns on his head. He bowed to the three of them.

"Kuang Yue has met the two Demon Lords and the cunning Deputy Palace Master."

Kuang Yue is a demon who has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and is also the city lord of the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

The snake demon lord said in a sweet voice:

"Kuang Yue, did you see any unusual demons in the city today?"

Kuang Yue was taken aback, then asked:

"Snake Demon Lord, may I ask what makes this special demon race so special?"

Countless demons come to the City of Ten Thousand Demons every day, and even though he is the city lord, it is impossible for him to remember everyone.

The Snake Demon Lord looked at the Cunning Demon Lord
With a wave of his right hand, the cunning demon lord summoned a portrait before Kuang Yue.

The image depicts a cunning and treacherous figure.

"It is this demon; he should have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing that the Nascent Soul stage was at its peak, Kuang Yue's expression changed. This level of demonic beast was already among the top demonic beasts in the Western Regions.

He shook his head and said:
"Reporting to you gentlemen, I have never seen this demon before. If a demon of this level were to conceal its cultivation, I would not be able to detect it."

Upon hearing this, the Snake Demon Lord immediately turned to the Cunning Demon Lord: "Vice Hall Master, it seems that the demon beast has concealed its whereabouts. What should we do now?"

The cunning demon lord said without changing his expression:

"He was previously in the human territory, and now that he's come to the Western Regions, he must have come through a human teleportation array. Humans don't have much influence in the Ten Thousand Demon City, and the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild is the most suspicious among them. Let's go there and ask them."

After saying that, the cunning demon lord disappeared from the scene.

The Snake Demon Lord and the Master Demon Lord also hurriedly followed.

Neither of them knew anything about the cunning demon; they had only come here because the cunning demon lord had summoned them.

Although both are at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, the Cunning Demon Lord is the deputy hall master of the Demon God Palace, and the other Demon Lords must obey his orders.

Inside the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Gao Xian looked at the three cunning demon lords in front of him and said with an unchanged expression;

“Gentlemen, as I have already stated, I have never seen the monster you are talking about.”

Although Gao Xian was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was not flustered at all when facing three half-step Divine Transformation cultivators.

Because behind him stands the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Back then, in order to open up the area in the Western Regions, the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild sent a powerful figure to personally negotiate with that demon god.

Even a demon lord cannot act rashly against the members of the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild.

The cunning demon lord then said:
“President Gao, that demon beast has some grudges with me. I know that your Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild has a good relationship with Xingfeng Sect, but you are in charge of the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild in the Western Regions, not the Southern Region. I hope you can distinguish between what is important and what is not.”

Gao Xian narrowed his eyes: "Vice Hall Master, are you threatening me?"

Seeing Gao Xian's rudeness, the Lion Demon Lord said coldly:
"How dare you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, speak to the Vice Hall Master like that? Believe me, I'll devour you right here and now!"

A terrifying demonic aura emanated from the Lion Demon Lord, who had never had any goodwill towards human cultivators.

Gao Xian was not afraid, but said:

"Does Your Excellency think that my Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild is powerless? You dare to touch me and see what happens. Within ten breaths, my guild's Nascent Soul Ancestor will personally arrive here!"

After saying that, Gao Xian took out a jade talisman, looking as if he was about to crush it.

As a force that spans the four major domains, the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild naturally also has Nascent Soul cultivators.

Without the presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild could not have developed to its current state.

Seeing Gao Xian looking like he was about to call for help, the Lion Demon Lord was instantly enraged:

"You humans are shameless, always calling for help!"

Gao Xian snorted: "Your words are shameless. You three half-step Nascent Soul cultivators are trying to coerce me, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. Who do you think is shameless?"

Gao Xian didn't feel at all that calling someone by their name was a shameful thing.

It would be foolish not to use someone you have powerful backers.

The snake demon lord beside him quickly stopped the lion demon lord: "President Gao is a friend of our Demon God Palace, there is no need to make a scene like this."

The Serpent Demon Lord was also afraid that Gao Xian might act impulsively and actually summon the Nascent Soul stage monster.

Unless the Demon God intervenes, the three of them will suffer a terrible fate.

The cunning demon lord then said:
"President Gao, we didn't mean anything by it. Since you won't say, then forget it. We've bothered you."

The cunning demon lord said nothing and then left the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild.

Lion Demon Lord snorted coldly and left with Snake Bite Lord.

After the two left, Chairman Gao took out a satellite phone from his storage bag, edited a text message, and sent it out.

The Western Regions have been connected to the Xingfengmen satellite network, and satellite phones are usable.

The Xianbao Chamber of Commerce is a long-term partner of Xingfengmen, so naturally they also have satellite phones.

"I hope Sect Leader Chen will act cautiously after receiving this message." Gao Xian put away his phone.

He pondered for a moment:

"We should report this to headquarters. Sect Leader Chen is too important to our Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce. It would be dangerous if he were really targeted by the Demon God."

Gao Xian ultimately decided to inform headquarters about the matter.

On the other side, after the three cunning demon lords went out...

The Lion Demon Lord said with dissatisfaction, "This Gao Xian really doesn't know what's good for him!"

The Serpent Demon Lord said with a smile:

"The Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce is not simple; they have the right to refuse us."

The Snake Demon Lord then looked at the Cunning Demon Lord: "Vice Hall Master, can't you sense that demon beast? Can't you sense its current location?"

The Demon Lord shook his head: "I have lost my senses of him. He must have used some means to block my perception. Right now, the only thing we can do is to send people to search for him."

The Western Regions are vast, and finding Zheng Jiao is no easy task.

But the cunning demon lord would not give up. He also desperately wanted to merge with this split soul, because once merged, he might be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to come to the Western Regions, he naturally doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

The Serpent Demon Lord nodded: "Then I will notify all the major clans now and ask them to help search."

The Demon God Palace is essentially similar to the Cultivation Alliance, and it can command the demon races in various regions of the Western Regions.

"Where do we go now?" the Lion Demon Lord asked from the side.

The cunning demon lord thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Eclipse Moon Wolf Clan first. They have recently invaded the territory of the Heavenly Fox Clan again. We need to intervene."

"Why are these two groups fighting again?" the Lion Demon Lord asked in surprise.

There are also conflicts between the various groups of the demon race.

The Eclipse Wolf Clan and the Sky Fox Clan have been at war for many years, but the Sky Fox Clan, being weaker, has been bullied by the Eclipse Wolf Clan for many years.

Therefore, the Celestial Fox Clan had no choice but to seek help from the Demon God Temple.

The Demon God Temple had already sent people to mediate this war last time.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the two tribes have started fighting again. (End of Chapter)
