# Chapter 2151: Following Closely
"This woman." The crowd raised their heads, a glint of desire to conquer flashing in their eyes. This woman had been cold from beginning to end, impossible to approach, as if she were a noble princess. Yet the aura she exuded was exceptionally terrifying. But the more this type of person, the more these strong individuals seemed to want to conquer her.
"This interesting woman." A faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's lips. When he had transformed into a cauldron, he once encountered a beautiful woman in a demon beast forest—it was precisely this woman. After bathing and emerging, she appeared exceptionally charming and cute. However, when outsiders approached, her temperament instantly transformed into an iceberg, cold enough to make one tremble. Lin Feng could still vaguely recall that scene—on her chest, there was also a very beautiful mark, accentuating her nobility.
As if sensing something, Jing's gaze turned toward Lin Feng. Her icy eyes seemed to transform into a killing sword intent, descending upon Lin Feng, causing the interesting smile on his lips to suddenly freeze there. He couldn't help but be stunned. This woman was indeed very cold. Could he not even smile?
Thinking this, Lin Feng's smile grew even wider as he calmly stared at the woman's figure in the void.
"Hmph." The woman let out an icy cold snort. The killing sword intent seemed to rush straight at Lin Feng. However, her gaze slowly turned away, looking toward Yang Xiao, and she said coldly, "So it was you who did that matter. It seems your several attempts to approach me were also for my memories. From now on, don't come near me."
Yang Xiao cursed Lin Feng inwardly. This bastard had definitely deliberately exposed him, making him a target for everyone. This way, once he made any move in the future, he would likely become the object of a siege by the crowd.
With an awkward smile, the woman stepped forward and headed into the distance. The crowd watched as her entire body turned into a white streak of light, flashing away. Soon, she completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Still that fast." Lin Feng looked at the white afterimage, slightly startled.
Lei Dongtian's expression still hadn't relaxed. Looking at the crowd, he said, "From now on, if you wish to spar, you may, but killing is absolutely not permitted. Since everyone has come to my Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, my Heavenly Demon Lei Clan must be accountable to everyone. The previous incident absolutely cannot be repeated, or else you will be making an enemy of my Heavenly Demon Lei Clan."
"Of course." Yang Xiao smiled awkwardly, then his body soared into the air, heading toward the void.
Lin Feng watched Yang Xiao's figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He had been pursued for so long. Now that this place was no longer the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, things seemed to have become much more interesting.
"Lin Feng, there are many residences here. Choose an unoccupied palace for yourself." Lei Dongtian said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly. "I'll take a casual look around first."
With that, Lin Feng's figure also soared into the air, turning into a blur as he casually chose a palace to reside in.
At this moment, outside the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, a group of figures descended. The leader was none other than Wang Shi. These people had cold expressions, with intense killing intent emanating from them as they stared at the dark fortresses ahead. That was the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, known as the demon lair of Shen Xiao City. Wang Shi's expression was very unpleasant. Having pursued all the way to the dark demon fortress of the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, it was naturally impossible to charge inside.
Just then, a shadow-like figure instantly appeared before Wang Shi, causing his pupils to contract slightly. "Grandfather."
"And Jie'er?" This person said coldly.
"He was killed." Wang Shi lowered his head, his expression stiff.
"Jie'er isn't dead yet." Wang Shi's grandfather produced a soul jade in his hand. Although it had some cracks, it clearly hadn't shattered. This made Wang Shi's pupils contract. "What's going on? I clearly saw my younger brother being devoured by the opponent's demon dragon martial soul."
"As long as the soul exists, life exists. At least the divine soul hasn't been destroyed."
"Huff..." Wang Shi took a deep breath, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. Not dead. That meant there was still a chance for redemption and salvation.
However, when Wang Shi turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, he felt a headache. Trying to enter the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan to demand the person was simply impossible. The Heavenly Demon Lei Clan and his Alchemy King Clan had never been on good terms. Moreover, that person had been personally brought back to the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan by Lei Dongtian, so the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan would be responsible for his safety. If they handed him over to his Alchemy King Clan, where would the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan's dignity be? Wouldn't they become a laughingstock?
"Grandfather, although younger brother is still alive, how do we demand the person?" Wang Shi said.
"Negotiate. See what price the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan wants." Wang Shi's grandfather said. For that little madman, the Alchemy King Clan was willing to pay even terrifying prices.
Wang Shi's expression stiffened slightly. He naturally understood his grandfather's intentions. For Wang Jie's sake, even if the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan was willing to relent, his Alchemy King Clan would have to pay a terrible price. After all, for a force like the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, which was on par with his Alchemy King Clan, ordinary things held no appeal for them at all. His grandfather naturally knew this too.
The group of figures stepped forward, heading toward that vast, endless dark castle.
At this moment, Lin Feng didn't know that the Alchemy King Clan had already pursued him to outside the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, or even entered inside. In his palace, he sank into his martial soul world, sitting cross-legged. Wang Jie was opposite him. Just as Wang Shi had said, Wang Jie wasn't dead. The demon dragon martial soul hadn't devoured Wang Jie but had bitten him in its mouth and sent him into Lin Feng's martial soul world. Although this little madman had been defeated by him, his combat talent was indeed very formidable and terrifying. Refining someone like this into a demon puppet clearly held great potential.
Moreover, with Wang Jie's power, if he were allowed to cultivate the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, or the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art and the Heavenly Demon Body Disintegration Art, how powerful would his strength become? It was unimaginable.
As long as he was refined into a demon puppet, Lin Feng could do whatever he wanted, having him cultivate the strengths of various schools.
At this moment, in Yang Xiao's palace, Yang Xiao sat cross-legged, cultivating, slowly digesting the memories he had devoured. Thinking that he would have to share these memories with others, he felt quite frustrated. It was all because of that bastard Lin Feng, who had also appeared in the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan, disrupting his good plans. He had wanted to quietly plunder a few more people's memories, including that woman's memories.
"Tap, tap..." The sound of light footsteps came. Yang Xiao's eyes suddenly snapped open, then narrowed slightly as he stared at the newcomer. After a moment, his expression turned into a faint smile. "Brother Lin, this is my palace. Entering uninvited—isn't that against the rules?"
"If Brother Yang wants to arrange a life-and-death battle with me, I think Brother Lei wouldn't stop our life-and-death fight." Lin Feng revealed a calm smile, causing Yang Xiao's expression to stiffen. Provocation—this was naked provocation. Lin Feng was clearly telling him, "I'm entering uninvited, so what? If you want a life-and-death battle, I'm game."
A cold light flickered deep within his narrowed eyes. Yang Xiao sneered inwardly. This guy was indeed quite confident. Did he think he could steadily defeat him, Yang Xiao?
Yang Xiao considered himself to possess the memories of many strong individuals, controlling countless powerful divine abilities. He also had many cultivation techniques, taking their strengths and merging many powers. At this level, few were his match. That was why he had come to the Nine Heavens Gathering stage. However, he still had some wariness toward Lin Feng. Back when he was pursuing Lin Feng, there were many Emperor realm figures, and he had also fought Lin Feng. This person's power was terrifying, and his divine ability attacks were wild and unrestrained, with a domineering and fierce combat style.
Moreover, the key point was—how had Lin Feng survived?
"I'm very curious, Brother Lin Feng, how you survived. Clearly, only a corpse remained, and that physical body disappeared along with the cauldron, causing that innate spirit body to come and pursue you. Could it be that your divine soul was hidden in the cauldron?" Yang Xiao said to Lin Feng.
"Do you want to know?" Lin Feng revealed a faint smile, then with a thought, the Myriad Transformations Divine Cauldron appeared, floating directly in the void.
"Dong..." The deathly sound of the cauldron spread out. Yang Xiao's face instantly turned deathly gray. His expression was ugly, and his body swayed slightly. He suddenly retreated backward, staring at the cauldron in the void.
"Yang Xiao, you can properly experience this cauldron." The smile on Lin Feng's lips carried a hint of wickedness. The cauldron's sound continued. Yang Xiao kept feeling the turmoil of death. With a loud bang, Yang Xiao's body stood up, and the room behind him instantly collapsed into dust. His gaze coldly fixed on Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, have you forgotten Brother Lei's words? Do you dare to make a move against me in the Heavenly Demon Lei Clan?"
"I'm just letting Brother Yang Xiao experience the divine cauldron. Don't misunderstand." Lin Feng smiled slightly. Then, a terrifying aura emanated from the cauldron. Yang Xiao felt his divine soul locked onto, as if it were about to leave his body and be devoured. His face turned pale, and he roared angrily, "You're ruthless!"
With that, a terrifying array light bloomed from his body. He suddenly disappeared from the spot, heading outside the palace.
Moments later, Yang Xiao's figure appeared in the void outside. His expression was ugly, and array light radiated terrifyingly from his body.
"Why is Brother Yang in such a hurry to leave?" A voice rolled out. Lin Feng's figure drifted out, strolling forward with his hands behind his back, standing calmly in the void. A wisp of death dao intent enveloped Yang Xiao, as if he might strike at any moment to take Yang Xiao's life.
"You..." Yang Xiao stared at Lin Feng, killing intent flickering. However, Lin Feng didn't even look at him, standing there calmly, as if waiting for Yang Xiao to make a move.
"Hmph." A cold smile curled at the corner of Yang Xiao's mouth. He still held back, not making a move. His figure flickered as he left the area. Lin Feng's figure moved forward, following closely behind. This caused many onlookers to show interested expressions. Yang Xiao, that guy, seemed to be somewhat afraid of Lin Feng!
