  On a highway stretching from Qing Ling Village, a Mercedes-Benz was flying down the road like a crazed beast. It screeched through the sharp turns at insane speeds close to 150 km/h!

  "Do you know how to drive?!"

  "Motherf*cker! What's with that fellow!"

  "Are you rushing to be reincarnated?!"

  All kinds of curses were thrown at them as Mystic Three rushed down the road. Everyone felt certain that the driver was crazy!

  The speed limit for these kinds of mountain roads were usually around 50 to 60 km/h. The black Mercedes that Bei Feng was riding was weaving in and out, shooting down the road like a speed demon. All kinds of tricky turns were navigated with incredible skill, causing others who saw it to feel like they were watching an action movie.

  As a Dark Jing martial practitioner, Mystic Three was superior to normal people in terms of the intuitiveness of his senses as well as his eyesight. A simple thing like driving was not enough to stump him.

  If they wished to, anyone from the Bei Feng's Guards could easily become a top professional racer!

  The scenery flashed past them rapidly as the car sped along. Mystic Three's back was already drenched in sweat. He had never seen Bei Feng behaving like this before!

  "Boss, why—"

  "Hou!"

  Mystic Three was about to ask Bei Feng what was going on when a mighty, vigorous roar suddenly sounded out, causing his hands to tremble with shock.

  They were quite a distance away from Qing Ling Village by now. In a straight line distance, they were at least ten kilometers away!

  But despite that, they could actually still hear that savage roar. Without much thought, one could easily imagine how powerful the creature was!

  Mystic Three immediately understood why the usually calm Bei Feng would react so violently this time. At this time, he had already begun mourning in silence for those people who had not fled the place.

  The Nie Clan ancestral mansion was completely destroyed. A gigantic hole stood in place of the old mansion, its depths unfathomably deep. The hole was completely dark, and nothing could be seen below it.

  A huge Demonic Beast several tens of meters long was flapping its large wings and flying above the hole. A mighty aura emanated from its body constantly!

  Within a hundred li, none of the birds and beasts dared to make a sound at all as they hid in the caves, shivering.

  "The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi has become so weak?!" the black Demonic Beast mumbled in shock as a look of confusion appeared on its face.

  Based on the current amount of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in its surroundings, it could estimate that it would take a lot of time for it to recover to its peak state!

  However, the thing it was lacking the most right now was time! The amount of time it had been trapped in the underground crypt was simply too long. Even if a Demonic Beast's lifespan far exceeded humans, it would still not have many years left!

  Its blood and Qi had already begun to dry out, and many parts of its body weakened with age. At the most, it would only have fifty more years to live if left like this!

  "What I need the most now is to recover to my peak condition as quickly as possible, and then try to break through to a higher grade!"

  The black Demonic Beast flapped its wings lightly as it hovered in the air. Its wings looked like enlarged versions of bat wings. Countless patterned scales covered the top of the wings, causing them to shimmer with a black light as the sun shone on them.

  The thirst for life was not limited to certain races or species. Every living being would always strive to live as long as possible as long as they could help it!

  After being imprisoned for so many years, this Demonic Beast only had less than fifty years left to live. If it could not break through to a higher level and extend its lifespan, it would still end up as a pile of rotting bones in the end regardless of how strong it was!

  "As for now, I'll just settle for some snacks…… how long has it been since I've last tasted blood and flesh?"

  Large goblets of drool began to roll off the sides of the beast's mouth as if it were lost in its own memories.

  While it was trapped in the underground crypt, it had relied on the energy it had stored up to survive. Most of its time was also spent in hibernation to minimize the amount of energy used.

  Even so, the gigantic beast was like an empty lamp after being in that state for more than a thousand years. If it had not managed to break its chains with this last-ditch effort, it would not be able to hold on for much longer.

  After locking onto a position, the beast flapped its wings lightly and disappeared. Its gigantic body was surprisingly agile, instantly breaking through the sound barrier as it chased in a certain direction. It could distinctly feel the aura of several creatures with strong blood and Qi which could serve as its snacks!

  Only when the figure of the creature appeared several hundred meters away did a deafening sonic boom appear.

  Soon, Bei Feng had arrived back at the villa. Xia Zhen's family was left to Mystic Three to settle down. The explaining part was also left to him to do. After all, wasn't the point of having underlings to take care of the nitty-gritty things in life?

  "That unknown creature back there definitely far surpasses the Xiantian level! At the very least, it should be a Controlled Dan Super Demonic Beast!" Bei Feng mumbled with some trepidation. Just a trace of its aura was enough to cause his hair to stand on its ends! There was no way it was a mere Xiantian Demonic Beast.

  Although he could not claim to be invincible among the Xiantian level yet, he was definitely one of the top-tier experts in that realm. However, that Demonic Beast was able to cause him to feel the claws of death even without showing its face!

  Bei Feng was quite certain that if he had continued staying there, he would definitely have died!

  The day passed, but there was actually no still news regarding the appearance of a Super Demonic Beast in the morning! Puzzled, he sent Mystic Three to investigate.

  In the end, what Mystic Three reported back was that the entire Qing Ling Village had been cordoned off by the military, and no one was allowed inside.

  Bei Feng's face turned uglier at this point. The worst-case scenario had definitely happened!

  Although the news he got was very vague, it was enough for him to deduce that the entire village must have been wiped out already!

  Bei Feng instructed Mystic Three to call Jin Sanjue over for more details.

  At the same time, he realized that his information network was too limited. There were many things that he was not aware of at all.

  Once he received the news, Jin Sanjue quickly hurried over to the villa.

  "Let's talk about what happened at Mt Qing Ling."

  Bei Feng was seated in the pavilion and he gestured to an empty seat as soon as he saw Jin Sanjue walking in.

  "My Lord, a powerful demon has appeared at Mt Qing Ling recently, and is at least at the level of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert. Due to its sudden appearance, the entire Qing Ling Village was wiped out! Of the experts who were there to attend the Nie Clan's ancestral worship ceremony, many of them also had ill luck and were killed or injured heavily."

  Jin Sanjue also felt a hint of trepidation in his heart as he recounted the details of the incident. He was actually supposed to be part of the team to supervise the Nie Clan's ancestral worship ceremony on that day. Luckily, he happened to be called away to handle another mission. Until now, he still felt incredibly fortunate that he'd managed to avoid the danger so narrowly.

  Bei Feng poured out a cup of tea and continued, "Then, how was the matter settled?" He needed to know the events after the Demonic Beast appeared.

  "The President of our Martial Practitioners Control Department as well as three Vice Presidents have already set out towards Qingcheng to surround and slay the Demonic Beast. Apart from that, we found out that the place which the Demonic Beast escaped from was actually an underground crypt. Numerous martial practitioners are already rushing over to look for treasures or opportunities in there."

  Jin Sanjue's voice seemed to be filled with great respect and worship for the President and the three Vice Presidents. He didn't seem to have any doubts that they would be able to slay the Demonic Beast.

  Bei Feng felt the corners of his mouth twitching lightly. What a grand show of force! To activate four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts at one go!

  He did not doubt that before a Super Demonic Beast like that, a Xiantian Lord was nothing more than a slightly bigger ant!

  Knowing fully well the strength of the Demonic Beast yet still daring to proclaim to be capable of killing it, those people had to be Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!

  "Then what's with the underground crypt?"

  Bei Feng did not dwell on the matter. To him, that realm of powerful beings was still too far away. He still had a long way to go on the Xiantian path. Changing the topic, Bei Feng began to get interested in the underground crypt instead.

  "That place seems to be the tomb of some unknown figure. But to be able to trap a Super Demonic Beast and use it to guard the entrance, the owner of the tomb must be someone with exceptional capabilities! Only, we do not have any way to open the crypt's entrance for now."

  Jin Sanjue's eyes also turned a little green at this point. The crypt definitely held large amounts of treasures. Perhaps there might even be some special opportunities which could help one to reach the heavens in one stroke!
