"This demon core is so valuable, you should take it back."
The nine-headed lion suddenly raised its hand and stuffed the demon core that Xiao Feng had just given it back into Xiao Feng's hand.
The nine-headed lion could tell from Xiao Feng's face that Xiao Feng was unaware of the demon core's situation before.
Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised, but he still shook his head and pushed the nine-headed lion's hand back.
"This thing is useless to me. Rather than letting it go to waste here, I'd better give it to the Lion King. It will also help you break through soon."
Even if he didn't know its value before, it wouldn't stop Xiao Feng from selling the Nine-Headed Lion for a good price now.
"Brother Xiao Feng, I can't thank you enough. I will refine this demon core tonight. After I successfully break through, I will go with you to deal with the Devouring Python!"
Xiao Feng was not surprised by such an unexpected joy, so he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.
After the nine-headed lion left, Zhao Yuwei asked Xiao Feng with concern, "If he breaks through, I'm afraid the other powerful demons won't just stand by and watch. What if they come to cause trouble? Are you planning to handle it all by yourself?"
Zhao Yuwei wanted to help Xiao Feng, but her cultivation level was not high enough, so she was probably powerless to do anything about it.
"If he can break through smoothly, it will also benefit us. Perhaps we can use his help to leave the demon race as soon as possible," Xiao Feng reassured Zhao Yuwei.
Perhaps it's because they are currently in the demon race's stronghold, which is too far from the human race's territory.
Even with the communication jade pendant, there was no way to contact the other companions, and Xiao Feng didn't know how Long Gu and the others were doing.
Seeing Xiao Feng's confident demeanor, Zhao Yuwei opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
That night, the two of them did not rest, and could feel a series of obscure fluctuations coming from the cave of the nine-headed lion.
"The Lion King has broken through. He is the most powerful of all the great demons we have seen so far. As long as he can successfully overcome the tribulation, we won't be able to walk around the demon race with impunity, and no great demon will dare to cause us trouble easily."
Xiao Feng sensed the fluctuating atmosphere outside and spoke to Zhao Yuwei.
"You trust him that much?" Zhao Yuwei asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Although he has his own ulterior motives, he is still a decent demon. I believe he won't do something that will backfire on him."
Xiao Feng has a system with him.
If the Nine-Headed Lion really turns his back on his promise, Xiao Feng naturally has a way to make his cultivation level regress, and he will never be able to break through again.
It took the nine-headed lion two days and two nights to refine the power within the demon core, and the huge fluctuations it caused during this time also attracted the attention of other powerful demons.
Two days later, when the nine-headed lion emerged from seclusion, layers upon layers of thunderclouds had already piled up above the entire lion demon territory.
The Nine-Headed Lion is about to undergo a tribulation!
The news shocked the entire demon race.
You should know that all these great demons are putting in their best effort, vying to be the first to undergo tribulation and to gain an edge over the other great demons.
Who would have thought that the usually low-key Nine-Headed Lion would be the first to reach this level!
Although the nine-headed lion did not have great ambitions, he did want to sit in the position of commanding the other great demons.
The other powerful demons were naturally unhappy about a new leader suddenly appearing above them, and secretly plotted to sabotage the Nine-Headed Lion's tribulation.
With thunderclouds gathering, the commotion could not be concealed at all.
Fortunately, the heavenly thunder still needed some time to brew, so the nine-headed lion took this opportunity to quickly arrange everything within the lion demon clan.
After realizing that he might be undergoing a tribulation, the nine-headed lion immediately went to a rather special place in its territory.
He dared not stray too far from his territory, after all, he knew the nature of the powerful demons in the vicinity.
With Xiao Feng around, at least he could be protected.
If he were to break through the tribulation alone, the powerful demons around him would certainly spare no effort to sabotage his tribulation.
However, the nine-headed lion was somewhat worried that his heavenly lightning might affect the lion demons in the tribe.
"Rest assured, Lion King, the terrain here is special. If you undergo tribulation here, there is a high probability that the heavenly lightning will be concentrated only on you, Lion King, and will not affect the other lion demons."
Xiao Feng examined the location where the Nine-Headed Lion had chosen to undergo its tribulation and then assured the Nine-Headed Lion of his identity.
The nine-headed lion didn't know if it would succeed in its tribulation this time.
He did not completely refine the demon core that Xiao Feng gave him, but kept a small portion, which could be used to replenish the demon power he consumed during his tribulation.
At this moment, the thunderclouds are flashing, and lightning is about to strike.
The nine-headed lion suddenly spoke to Xiao Feng: "If I fail to transcend this tribulation, may I ask you to do your best to preserve the bloodline of our lion demon clan? My son, Bazhou, please sign a contract with him, would you be so kind?"
Xiao Feng did not agree to the Nine-Headed Lion's request, but instead said directly, "Lion King, don't say such things. Your tribulation this time will be a natural progression and you will definitely succeed."
"The powerful demons around us are all eyeing this place covetously. If the Lion King fails, my senior sister and I alone will definitely not be able to protect the Lion Demon Clan!"
The nine-headed lion looked at Xiao Feng, whose eyes were resolute.
The nine-headed lion said nothing more, and its gaze fell on Bazhou, which was not far away.
Bazhou used to dislike Xiao Feng, but after Xiao Feng settled down in the Lion Demon Clan, Bazhou gradually began to awkwardly express his affection for Xiao Feng.
However, Bazhou's favorite is still Zhao Yuwei.
At this moment, Bazhou stood not far away, looking at the nine-headed lion with a worried expression.
The eyes of the nine-headed lion were also filled with deep compassion.
"Thunder is coming."
Sensing that world-destroying aura, Xiao Feng looked up.
A bolt of dark blue lightning struck directly towards the nine-headed lion.
Xiao Feng quickly set up the array he had prepared in advance to block the remaining power of the heavenly lightning, and then led the other demons of the Lion Demon Clan to retreat.
"Heavenly thunder is merciless. Even if you are worried about your Lion King, do not approach him easily. Just stand here."
Xiao Feng was afraid that some lion demons who worshipped the Lion King might act impulsively, so he specifically spoke up to warn them.
The lion demons stood anxiously not far away, watching their lion king roar and resist the heavenly lightning. Somewhat worried, they asked Xiao Feng, "Will the lion king be able to withstand this heavenly lightning?"
Xiao Feng couldn't be too certain.
After all, undergoing tribulation is very dangerous.
Even the previously arrogant nine-headed lion couldn't guarantee that it could successfully pass this tribulation.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak cautiously, he saw Zhao Yuwei holding the very worried Bazhou prototype in her arms.
Bazhou is still a cub, about the size of a large cat weighing over ten kilograms.
After Zhao Yuwei picked him up, Bazhou leaned on Zhao Yuwei's shoulder and asked worriedly, "Sister Yuwei, will Father be able to successfully overcome his tribulation?"
