# Chapter 894: Interrogating the Evil Spirit
The people of Snow Moon below, even after the demon clouds dispersed and the snowflakes stopped falling, still could not calm their minds.
The people of Snow Moon Kingdom, who on ordinary days could not even catch a glimpse of Heavenly Martial Realm experts, had never witnessed such a magnificent battle, such destructive power, such vast and terrifying divine abilities. They could hardly imagine how Lin Feng, wielding a demon sword to trace each stroke, condensed offensive killing characters—what terrifying means were these?
And also, why did Xi Juetian, when trying to escape, seem unable to leave that snowy region?
All of this, they could not understand.
They could not understand, and even those Heavenly Martial Realm experts from the Divine Palace did not comprehend how Lin Feng possessed such formidable methods. How had he done it? A single strike annihilating Xi Juetian—beneath the Venerable Realm, who could contend with him?
But they did not know that Lin Feng's one-sword kill of Xi Juetian employed incredibly powerful techniques. The sword was a terrifying demon sword of unparalleled might.
The offensive technique he inscribed was the power of Sacred Marks. These Sacred Marks had been inscribed by a high-rank Venerable from a thousand years ago who had followed the Jade Emperor, far more powerful than any Heavenly Martial Realm expert could imagine.
And that divine ability which prevented Xi Juetian from escaping was the Void Demon Art. Lin Feng had only managed to barely condense a single Void Snow Domain after receiving the Linglong Saint Immortal Qi and staying in that snowy region to comprehend for several days. The demon art seized the wonders of heaven and earth, preventing Xi Juetian from fleeing temporarily, allowing Lin Feng to strike and kill him in one blow. If he had been even a moment slower, Xi Juetian would have broken through his Void Demon Art and escaped. After all, Lin Feng's strength was still too weak, his realm too far below Xi Juetian's, and the power of the Void Demon Art was insufficient.
The demon sword, combined with two terrifying divine abilities, was what had brought Xi Juetian to his death.
The eerie light completely faded from Lin Feng's body. His cold gaze swept over those Heavenly Martial Realm experts from the Western Divine Palace, and he spat out a single word icily: "Kill!"
As Lin Feng's voice fell, the demonic beasts roared. Those heavenly demons began their slaughter. Beast blood boiled, their momentum unstoppable.
The people of the Western Divine Palace had completely lost their will to fight. Several began to flee, but how could they escape the heavenly demons? There was only one path—death.
Blood continuously spilled from the void. The roars of beasts mixed with miserable screams. This was a bloody massacre. The Divine Palace's people had come in force, thinking capturing Lin Feng would be easy, something done casually. Many had thought it was making too big a deal, even needing to dispatch a Palace Master. But because of the importance they placed on the treasures in the secret realm, they had made this decision.
But who would have imagined that the outcome for the Divine Palace's people would be so miserable and tragic? One by one, they left their lives here. This was a result they had never considered, never even contemplated.
Lin Feng was merely an ant at the First Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Yet this ant had annihilated them.
When the last Divine Palace expert was torn apart by the heavenly demons, those heavenly demons gathered together, seemingly not yet satisfied. Demons were naturally bloodthirsty and battle-hungry. Today's slaughter had been so exhilarating that it ignited their beast blood. The Great Roc's sharp eyes still held a strong battle intent. The demon bear was still pounding its chest and roaring, not having killed enough.
"Enough." Lin Feng spoke a single word calmly, and only then did those demonic beasts quiet down. Lin Feng looked at them and said coldly: "Great Roc, you have followed me diligently during this time. From today onward, I will no longer bind your freedom with the Snow Demon Tower. However, if you ever dare to do anything against me, you will be imprisoned in the Snow Demon Tower forever."
When the Great Roc heard Lin Feng's words, a strange light bloomed in its enormous eyes. Its body transformed into human form, sharp and eerie, with faint golden traces still on its face.
"Thank you, Young Master." The Great Roc, like the Snow Eagle, addressed Lin Feng as Young Master. Being free from the Snow Demon Tower's restraint naturally made him happy.
The other demonic beasts stared at the Great Roc, extremely envious. The Great Roc was free now. He would no longer be imprisoned in the Snow Demon Tower all day.
"You all have your chance too." Lin Feng looked at the other demonic beasts. He waved his hand, and the Snow Demon Tower appeared again. Those demonic beasts drooped their heads dejectedly and actively walked into the Snow Demon Tower. They secretly resolved to perform well in the future, so that one day they too could be pardoned by Lin Feng like the Great Roc.
The seven Snow Eagles all returned to Lin Feng's side, transforming into human form.
"Young Master, although the Western Divine Palace's people have been destroyed this time, I'm afraid that once the Divine Palace finds out, even stronger experts will come. I worry the Divine Palace will dispatch Venerables. Should we return to the Heavenly Lake?" One of the Snow Eagles spoke beside Lin Feng. The more Lin Feng displayed shocking talent, the more they cared about his safety. Lin Feng needed time. He absolutely could not fall prematurely. With time, with Lin Feng's talent, how could he fail to achieve greatness?
"It will take some time before the Divine Palace discovers these people haven't returned. Let's wait a few more days. I will consider it." Lin Feng replied. The Snow Eagle's concern was not without reason. If the Western Divine Palace's experts disappeared again, only one of the four Divine Palaces would remain. They would inevitably dispatch Venerables. With his current strength, even borrowing the power of the demon sword, he probably couldn't deal with a Venerable. There was also the fact that he couldn't use the demon sword continuously. Although he had sealed his body, the demon sword would still corrode him. The sealing intent could not completely isolate the demon sword's demonic willpower. Once the sealing power was eroded over time, he would fall into the demonic path again.
Lin Feng could not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, his opportunities were limited. He had to kill in a single strike.
"Regarding today's events, everyone should act as if nothing happened. Completely forget them. Do not spread rumors everywhere, inviting unnecessary danger. You have seen the despicableness of the Divine Palace's people. Do not encounter danger because of careless words." Lin Feng's voice rolled like thunder toward the crowd below. Everyone nodded in agreement. They must not spread rumors carelessly. A faction of the Divine Palace had been destroyed. They could understand this in their own hearts.
If the Divine Palace found out they were spreading rumors and then interrogated them, that would be dangerous.
After speaking, Lin Feng waved his hand, took a step, and left the void, heading toward the Prince's Mansion within the Imperial Palace.
Most people in the Imperial Palace had witnessed this vast battle, but they buried their shock deep in their hearts. Lin Feng's strength was terrifying.
"Xiao Ya." Lin Feng arrived beside Xiao Ya by the pond and called out.
"Brother, you're getting more and more powerful." Xiao Ya smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples.
"Xiao Ya, when I encountered danger outside, I saw Old Man Xiao. Your grandfather saved my life. Only then did I realize how powerful he is. You've traveled the world with Old Man Xiao, so you must have seen and heard much. I want to show you something."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Ya giggled. She knew her grandfather had left a layer of protection on Lin Feng. She had one too. If she encountered a life-threatening crisis, it would trigger, but she couldn't use it herself.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and a golden miniature figure appeared before him.
"This is an evil spirit." Xiao Ya's gaze fixed. She hadn't expected Lin Feng to have an evil spirit on him. These things were formed when very powerful experts died and their souls didn't perish, allowing them to condense into evil spirits. They were extremely rare.
"Yes, it's an evil spirit. It can also devour a person's divine consciousness and take over their body." Lin Feng nodded.
Xiao Ya nodded: "Outside, there is a powerful evil technique called soul-seizing. When a person with strong divine consciousness has their physical body destroyed, if they have cultivated the soul-seizing evil art, they can seize another's body. The ability of an evil spirit is actually the same as soul-seizing."
"Soul-seizing." Lin Feng's eyes flickered, then he looked at the evil spirit and asked: "If you take over someone's body, will you frequently change bodies? Is your method different from soul-seizing?"
"Of course it's different. When we seize a person's body, we can directly erase their divine consciousness. But this way, our control over this puppet body is not strong. We cannot fully control it. Therefore, we generally devour slowly. But soul-seizing is different. Soul-seizing is more domineering. It can directly erase the other's divine consciousness, then use the soul-seizing technique to slowly merge with that body until complete integration."
Although the evil spirit was born from remnant souls, it was actually just like a person. It had all of a person's thinking abilities, and its speech was the same as a person's.
"An evil spirit only changes bodies frequently if it chooses the first method. If it chooses the second method or soul-seizing, it won't change. When selecting a physical body, it will be very careful, definitely choosing an excellent body. And completely occupying that body, fully merging with it, also takes some time. So unless it encounters a powerful crisis or a more perfect body, it won't change."
