The Clan Master Can t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Pursuing into the Underground Palace, The Wonderful Uses of the Demon Core
“Don’t go, keep releasing the Divine Light Technique!”

Hu Feifei shouted, waving a white short stick, casting shadows of the stick covering the sky, shattering the gravel meteorites, and charging towards Shalibeta.

Ye Feng collected the carcass of the Wicked Hound with the Spatial Compass, stepped on a white bone sword, and leisurely pursued.

“Don’t chase me!”

Shalibeta, with a face ashen, turned into a whirlwind and “whooshed” away without a trace.

With a primordial spirit, Hu Feifei swept her divine sense and located Shalibeta’s trail; she could catch up to him even if he had a hundred-mile head start.

“Damn it, I seem to have been targeted!”

A hundred or so miles away, Shalibeta realized that no matter how many turns he made, Hu Feifei relentlessly pursued him as if she had him locked on.

“This won’t do!”

Shalibeta accelerated his fleeing, ready to grab his belongings and run away.

Although there were many Demon Kings in the vast Barren Desert, their relationships were not good. If it was a small favor, they might help.

But Hu Feifei was too strong!

She could absorb spells; you couldn’t use spells against her, only close combat, and the key was that this woman got stronger as you fought her close up as if she had no limits.

Shalibeta strongly suspected that if the fight continued, he would be blown up.

Facing such a formidable enemy, it was unlikely the other Demon Kings would help.

In the high sky.

Ye Feng and Hu Feifei were flying side by side.

“Sect Leader, what should we do? That monster is too scared to fight me and won’t release the Divine Light Technique. How can I accumulate energy?” Hu Feifei pouted.

Ye Feng chuckled, “You don’t even know how to act, and you want to absorb energy?”

“Acting?”

“If you want to trick Shalibeta into continuing to use the Divine Light Technique, you’ll have to pretend to be hurt by it. Once he gets hot-headed, he’ll continue to cast it. Once he’s almost drained of power, he’ll realize he’s been duped. Then, you can kill him,” explained Ye Feng.

“Okay, I’ll do that later,” nodded Hu Feifei again and again.

“Forget it!”

But Ye Feng kept shaking his head, “You’ve already frightened him just now. Besides, Shalibeta knows that you can absorb spells, so he’s most likely speeding back to his lair now to prepare to run away!”

“Then what should we do?” Hu Feifei pouted.

“Kill him, and make sure to keep the Demon Core. I suspect that one Demon Core has enough energy to let you accumulate about one-tenth,” Ye Feng said.

In the battle at Fuyun Gloomy Forest, Hu Feifei had exploded the One-horned Demon’s green nucleus, rejuvenating the entire forest, so she couldn’t get the Demon Core.

This time, Ye Feng planned to try with the Demon Core of a Spirit Sea Realm.

Whether successful or not, he would gain a Demon Core.

“Hmm, okay, watch me rush up there and blow him up!”

Hu Feifei sped up, leaving Ye Feng far behind.

“Wait for me!”

Ye Feng, struggling to keep up with Hu Feifei, had to use the Five Elements Spirit Sword, following closely behind, keeping a distance of about ten miles between them.

An underground palace.

Boom!

Shalibeta fell to the ground, rolling and crawling into the deepest part of the treasury, swallowing everything, then turned around and fled south.

“Demon King, why are you running?”

A few Demon Generals gazed at Shalibeta’s disheveled figure, curious in their hearts.

Could it be that their king lost?

That shouldn’t be!

Crack!

Suddenly, a terrifying force struck the ground, causing most of the palace to collapse, the earth trembling and mountains shaking.

“Barren King, come out and take your beating!”

The sharp cry of Hu Feifei was heard.

Shalibeta, who was desperately running southward through the underground passage, felt a tightening behind him and his complexion changed drastically as he accelerated in an instant.

Those imprisoned deep within the dungeon saw a glimmer of hope.

“Young master, it seems a powerful being has arrived, even the Barren King is fleeing in terror; we might be saved,” an attendant exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing this, the Young Master’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Crack!

A massive shadow of a stick exploded the ground, accurately striking the escaping Shalibeta, causing his body to crack all over.

“Does this guy have Divine Sense? Otherwise, how could he find out my location with such precision?”

Clutching his chest, Shalibeta threw away his armor and helmet, and quickly burrowed deep into the ground, attempting to escape from the pursuit.

The next moment, a faint silver glow emerged.

Two figures silently appeared in front of Shalibeta.

“Wha… what’s happening?”

Shalibeta’s face turned green with fright, and he turned to run.

Ye Feng, holding the Spatial Compass, laughed, “Within a short distance, who can escape my Instantaneous Movement? Princess, what are you waiting for? Get him.”

“Right on it!”

Hu Feifei, wielding a white short stick, entered the Second Combat State and instantly unleashed hundreds of pale stick shadows.

Shalibeta hurriedly swung his two Bone Staffs to defend, but his arms trembled violently from the assault, his bloodline reversed, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Double Explosive Stick!”

Hu Feifei struck again with dozens more stick shadows. The injured Shalibeta couldn’t dodge in time, and his head exploded, crashing down with a loud thud in the underground passage.

A few miles away at the end of the passage.

Two Demon Generals widened their eyes at the scene, their bodies shaking with fear, temporarily forgetting to run away.

“Hehe, now it’s your turn to die!”

Hu Feifei leaped forward, arriving in front of the two Demon Generals, sweeping them with her stick shadows, causing their bodies to crack and fall dead on the spot.

“Princess, could you at least leave me a live one?”

Ye Feng covered his face with his hand, at a loss for words.

Without a single survivor, how am I supposed to learn the details about this place?

He felt helpless.

“Sect Leader, am I amazing or what?”

Hu Feifei dropped out of her combat state, her flowing pink hair naturally falling down as she slung the white stick over her shoulder, strutted back, and asked as if seeking praise.

“If you don’t even leave one alive, who’s going to tell me about this vast underground palace?” Ye Feng pinched Hu Feifei’s delicate nose with his hand.

“Ah? Sect Leader, I realize my mistake now!” Hu Feifei finally reacted.

Ye Feng sighed.

He felt that Hu Feifei was good in every aspect, except that her intelligence was not very high, or rather, she simply did not understand many things, much like Yan Ruyu in the beginning—with a mind as blank as a reborn person’s, needing to learn a lot of external knowledge.

“Forget it, let’s see if the Demon Core is of any use to you.”

With the power of the Heroic Spirits, Ye Feng wielded the Five Elements Spirit Sword to break through Shalibeta’s defense, extracting a fist-sized, earthy yellow Demon Core.

“Wow, this is useful!”

Upon seeing the Demon Core, Hu Feifei immediately held it in her hands, absorbing its energy, causing the Demon Core to crack at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pile of black ash.

[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 65%]

“It increased that much?”

Upon seeing the system notification, Ye Feng took a deep breath.

But then, he understood why.

Shalibeta was a Middle Rank Demon King, equivalent to the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and his Demon Core contained far more special energy than an Upper Grade Spirit Stone.

“Sect Leader, are you breathing deeply because you want to eat it too?” Hu Feifei suddenly became vigilant, like a little fox protecting her food, her tail standing upright.

“Eat your head!” Ye Feng said with a teasing scold.

“Ah, eat my head? No, did Princess do something wrong again?” Hu Feifei looked sad but couldn’t manage to squeeze out a single tear.

Ye Feng’s face froze, not knowing how to respond.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that. Let’s quickly clean up the battlefield and see if this underground palace has any treasures.”

Ye Feng, not in the mood for further talk, promptly collected the corpses of Shalibeta and the two Demon Generals, and set off with Hu Feifei to explore the underground palace.

The Underground Palace was vast.

The two of them walked for a long time but found the interior empty and desolate, like a ghost city, even the Spirit Veins had vanished, seemingly devoured by Shalibeta.

“Senior, save me, please!”

Just as they were about to leave, they heard a faint cry for help from a dark corner.
