# Chapter 1716: Demon Art Obtained
The Nine Nether Demon Emperor and the Xi Emperor both cast their gazes toward Lin Feng. To them, Lin Feng was an extremely special individual because he was the man of Duan Xinye and Qiu Yuexin, and he had also once received the inheritance of the Nine Nether Demon Melody from the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. As for the Xi Emperor, she should have had Lin Feng killed, but perhaps due to the influence of Qiu Yuexin and Duan Xinye, she had never personally taken action to kill Lin Feng. She had only sent people to intercept and kill him once when she took Qiu Yuexin away, and she had made Qiu Yuexin kill Lin Feng once to help her achieve the Path of Ruthlessness.
However, Lin Feng's life seemed exceptionally resilient. Two assassination attempts had failed to take his life.
"What item?" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor spoke. Lin Feng said slowly, "This item was found in Your Excellency's imperial palace. It must be quite important to you, so I thought I should personally return it to your side."
"Humph." The Cang Clan expert sneered inwardly and said, "Why bother with so much trouble? Just take it out and toss it directly to the Demon Emperor."
"That works too." Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Demon Emperor, senior. In the past, when I entered your imperial palace, I obtained a demon flute. I wonder if you have any recollection of this item."
"What a cunning fellow." The Cang Clan great expert sneered inwardly. Stalling for time? Would it be useful?
"Hand it over to the Demon Emperor immediately." A terrifying voice rang out directly in Lin Feng's mind, causing his will to tremble violently, as if his very soul was shaking. The will of a great expert at this level was too terrifying. A single thought could kill him, crushing his divine will to pieces.
"Keep that demon flute for yourself." The Nine Nether Demon Emperor said calmly. "It no longer has much use to me."
"In that case, I'll take my leave." The Cang Clan great expert's body trembled, and he carried Lin Feng away in a rolling surge. With a single step, it was as if space itself trembled. His figure had already appeared ten thousand meters away, his speed terrifying to the extreme.
The Cang Clan members flickered and followed, leaving the area. Jun Moxi and the others narrowed their eyes, feeling powerless. Although they held distinguished status, they carried no weight before a great expert of the Cang Clan.
The wind howled violently. In the void, the Cang Clan great expert looked at Lin Feng beside him and said, "Lin Feng, transmit the Nine Nether Demon Melody to me through divine thought."
"Senior, since this is an exchange, shouldn't you also transmit the demon art you obtained to me?" Lin Feng forced himself to remain calm. Although the Cang Clan expert had taken him hostage, he probably wouldn't dare to take his life. That great expert from the demon realm would definitely not let the matter rest, which would bring no benefit to the Cang Clan. However, demanding the Nine Nether Demon Melody for nothing—that, the other party would dare to do.
"Now, hand over the demon melody." Suddenly, the Cang Clan great expert roared. Lin Feng felt a surging will, like rolling heavens, crashing into his mind. At this moment, Lin Feng felt incredibly insignificant, as if he were opposing the heavens themselves. He had to obey without question, to submit and bow his head.
"So terrifying a spiritual will. It's like the heavens themselves, and I am but an ant. Looking up at this sky, I cannot defy it." Lin Feng's spiritual will struggled violently. He felt suffocated, unable to breathe. No wonder even a wisp of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's intent could shake heaven and earth. He had never truly seen an emperor unleash all their energy, so it was hard to imagine the might of an emperor.
"The demon melody." Another will roared. Lin Feng felt his spirit tremble, as if it were about to collapse. He had to obey the other party's words and hand over the demon melody.
"Fine." Lin Feng spat out a cold word, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. Only then did the other party's heavenly will withdraw from Lin Feng's mind. Lin Feng immediately felt his divine will become incomparably relaxed. The pressure of that heavenly will from before had been far too terrifying.
"Nephew, why not cooperate with me willingly, to avoid unnecessary suffering?" the Cang Clan great expert said calmly. A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's deep pupils, but he smiled and said, "I hope that after I transmit the Nine Nether Demon Melody to you, senior, you will grant me the demon art."
"Naturally. Hurry up," the Cang Clan great expert said calmly. Lin Feng's divine thought fluctuated. Back then, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had used the method of Nine Nether Infusion to teach him the Nine Nether Demon Melody. The demon melody had always remained in his consciousness. Moreover, to unleash the terrifying power of this Nine Nether Demon Melody, one had to possess an extremely powerful spiritual will. When the Nine Nether melody played, heaven and earth would be startled, penetrating into others' minds to seize their will directly and drive them to demonhood.
Lin Feng's divine thought power seeped into the other party's mind. However, Lin Feng deliberately slowed down the progress, making the divine thought transmission extremely slow. The Cang Clan expert sneered inwardly but continued to advance swiftly. Even if Lin Feng was stalling for time, what use would it be? Could he still escape from his grasp at this point?
The Cang Clan great expert's speed was terrifying. Before long, they had returned to the Cang Clan. At this moment, the great expert frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly changed, turning rather unpleasant.
"Speed up," the Cang Clan great expert shouted coldly. This Lin Feng still hadn't transmitted the complete Nine Nether Demon Melody.
"Humph." Lin Feng sneered inwardly and stopped the divine thought transmission, causing the Cang Clan great expert's pupils to contract as he stared at Lin Feng.
"I've already transmitted most of the Nine Nether Demon Melody to you, senior. Shouldn't you also teach me the demon art?" Lin Feng said coldly. Above the Cang Clan territory, a majestic figure stood proudly, staring in their direction, his voice rolling in: "Why haven't you come in now that you're at your own doorstep?"
The Cang Clan great expert's expression turned cold. He stepped forward and brought Lin Feng before the majestic figure, saying, "What is the demon realm's intention here?"
Below, there was a huge ancient beast, none other than the ancient beast Suanni. Beneath one of its enormous feet was a group of experts, as if with a single stomp of that foot, it would directly crush and kill a crowd of people.
"Green Lotus Commander informed me through a divine thought transmission jade slip that your Cang Clan had captured Lin Feng. I haven't asked you what your intention is yet," the demon realm old man said coldly. Then he looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Lin Feng, tell me, what is this all about?"
"It's nothing major. The Cang Clan senior wanted to exchange the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art for my Nine Nether Demon Melody. Now that I've almost finished transmitting the Nine Nether Demon Melody to the Cang Clan senior, I hope he will also transmit the demon art to me," Lin Feng said calmly, causing the old man to smile slightly. "So that's it. In that case, please transmit the demon art to Lin Feng as well."
The Cang Clan great expert's expression was cold, flickering uncertainly.
"This Nine Nether Demon Melody is a heaven-shaking demon melody. If it's incomplete, it will be completely useless. If senior doesn't want to exchange, Lin Feng has no objection. I just find it rather regrettable that I won't be able to use the demon art to try to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm," Lin Feng muttered to himself. The Cang Clan great expert's expression flickered. His clan had traded the Heavenly Scripture for this demon art, so naturally they had to obtain the Nine Nether Demon Melody to elevate their overall strength to another level and maximize their gains. He understood this clearly. However, he was unwilling to let Lin Feng obtain the demon art. But judging by the demon realm's stance, if he didn't hand over the technique to Lin Feng, he probably wouldn't get the demon melody.
"Even if you obtain the demon art, what can you do?" the Cang Clan great expert sneered inwardly. "Since you don't trust me, old man, I'll hand over the demon art first. Receive it well."
Suddenly, a surging divine thought crashed into Lin Feng's mind. The surging divine thought power caused Lin Feng's divine will to tremble, as if it were about to shatter. His heart turned cold. This Cang Clan great expert was going too far. But the other party's strength far surpassed his own, beyond comparison. He had no choice but to swallow this anger. The demon art was what he most urgently desired. He didn't believe the Cang Clan members were more suited than him to cultivate the demon art and the demon melody. That was why he had been willing to use the Nine Nether Demon Melody to trade for the demon art through the Cang Clan, even if it meant temporarily benefiting the Cang Clan.
"Boom!" Lin Feng felt as if his head was about to explode. The surging memories suddenly detonated in his mind, causing Lin Feng to freeze for a moment before gradually calming down. He examined them briefly, confirming the completeness of this divine thought memory, that it hadn't been cut off by the other party.
"This is the complete divine thought that the Xi Emperor transmitted to me. The technique was already incomplete, as you should be able to sense. Now, give me the complete Nine Nether Demon Melody," the Cang Clan great expert said coldly. This little fox wouldn't easily hand over the demon melody unless he ensured the completeness of the demon art. He was too lazy to continue playing tricks.
"Senior, receive it well," Lin Feng said with a smile. This time, the divine thought transmission was very fast. Lin Feng concealed nothing. Trading the demon art for the demon melody benefited both parties. For this, the other party had contributed the Heavenly Scripture, while he had contributed the Nine Nether Demon Melody. The Cang Clan had obtained both the demon art and the demon melody. No one lost out. That was why this transaction could be completed smoothly.
