This great demon is the one that the Nine-Headed Lion mentioned to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng spoke directly: "I have heard that there is a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Gold Fruit growing in the Demon King's territory. I would like to request three of them."
Before the great demon could even speak, Xiao Feng laid out all the pills, rare herbs, and spiritual medicines he could exchange with him.
The great demon Peng was about to angrily rebuke Xiao Feng for his wishful thinking, but after sensing the aura emanating from the items Xiao Feng had taken out, he fell silent.
Although the Fire Gold Fruit is precious, he cannot properly digest the power within it.
His bloodline wasn't strong enough, but among the things Xiao Feng took out, there happened to be a spiritual medicine that could increase the concentration of his bloodline.
The great demon roc gritted its teeth and said, "I can only give you one in return!"
Xiao Feng sighed regretfully, put the treasure away again, and then said with a smile, "We both know the value of the treasure, so why say such things? It seems that the Demon King is not sincere about making a deal with me."
The Roc demon stared wide-eyed as it felt the treasure that could enhance its bloodline concentration being put away again.
However, he was no match for the Devouring Python, so he naturally dared not be presumptuous in front of Xiao Feng. In the end, he reluctantly agreed and arranged a time for the transaction with Xiao Feng.
Apart from him, all the other great demons were the same.
Xiao Feng did not let any of the powerful demons go. He ruthlessly tore off a piece of flesh from each of them, made an agreement with them on a time for the transaction, and then let them leave.
These powerful demons had no idea how Xiao Feng possessed so many rare and precious materials that they could use, and they were all so reluctant to give up trading with him.
One of the most stubborn demons tried to use his power to pressure Xiao Feng into agreeing to his unreasonable deal.
As a result, Xiao Feng slapped him across the face and threw him out of the room, refusing to communicate with the great demon again.
Xiao Feng's intimidating presence deterred the other powerful demons from having any further inappropriate thoughts.
After all the great demons had agreed on the items to be traded and the time of the trade with Xiao Feng, they all left the territory of the Nine-Headed Lion.
Nine-headed lions awaited them on their inevitable path.
"You've intruded into my territory in the dead of night, do you perhaps intend to challenge me?"
Many powerful demons had indeed acted rather unethically, and each offered small gifts to the Nine-Headed Lion as an apology.
The nine-headed lion accepted the gifts with satisfaction before letting them leave.
Zhao Yuwei waited until all the great demons had left before coming back to find Xiao Feng.
Seeing Xiao Feng frowning, Zhao Yuwei assumed that Xiao Feng's transaction with them had not gone smoothly, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
When Xiao Feng saw Zhao Yuwei, he smiled, took her hand, and pulled her to his side.
"It went fairly smoothly, but I didn't see the Devouring Python. It seems that the Devouring Python was indeed seriously injured last time!" Xiao Feng said softly.
"So what do you plan to do? You want to make a deal with him, have you forgotten that he almost killed you before?" Zhao Yuwei asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course I don't intend to make a deal with him; I'm just thinking about how I should deal with him."
Xiao Feng intended to capture the Devouring Python directly.
After all, the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python still possesses the bloodline of an ancient giant snake.
If possible, Xiao Feng would still hope to have such a loyal henchman.
The problem is that Xiao Feng doesn't know how to deal with the Devouring Python.
"You want to deal with the Devouring Python?" The nine-headed lion's voice came from outside, followed by him pushing open the door and entering.
"The Lion King must have been woken up by those powerful demons who came over, since he didn't rest so late," Xiao Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph, they swaggered into my territory so late at night, of course I'm going to take advantage of them. Here are some treasures I just got from them. Take a look, see if there's anything you can use."
The nine-headed lion generously laid out all the items in front of Xiao Feng, letting him choose first.
Xiao Feng selected two fruits from them, and had the Nine-Headed Lion put the rest away.
Xiao Feng told the Nine-Headed Lion about his deal with other powerful demons.
Several of these items are things that the Nine-Headed Lion can use to improve his cultivation and advance his bloodline.
"Thanks a lot, brother. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
The nine-headed lion looked at Xiao Feng with eyes full of emotion and made a promise to him again.
"Does the Lion King know how to deal with the Devouring Python? The Lion King and the Devouring Python's territories are adjacent, and they must have had conflicts before. I don't know much about the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python, so I really don't know how to restrain it." Xiao Feng was very troubled.
"The Devouring Python, it seems you're planning to take action against it. I don't know where that slippery fellow is hiding, but I do know its weakness," the Nine-Headed Lion told Xiao Feng after careful consideration.
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.
Nine-Headed Lion: "The Ten-Thousand-Year Sky-Devouring Python is different from other snakes; it has a reverse scale!"
Xiao Feng was startled: "The Dragon's Reverse Scale?"
The nine-headed lion smiled and shook his head, saying, "It has nothing to do with the dragons; that's their Achilles' heel."
"As long as you can find his Achilles' heel, you can severely injure him; that's his weakest point! With your strength, you should be able to kill him directly."
Xiao Feng immediately asked, "Since it's his Achilles' heel, it must be very difficult to find. Does the Lion King have a way?"
The nine-headed lion nodded, but did not immediately tell Xiao Feng. Instead, he spread his hands and said, "This is a method I have researched for hundreds of years to find to restrain the Devouring Python. If you want me to tell you this, you must give me some benefits."
Xiao Feng's lips twitched; he was speechless, yet also found it somewhat amusing.
Xiao Feng quite admired the Nine-Headed Lion's generous way of asking for benefits.
"Of course, I need to bribe the Lion King. This is a demon core I obtained before, and it's quite special."
"If I could absorb the demonic power within to cultivate on my own, I wouldn't have kept him until now. He could help the Lion King break through his current cultivation level!"
Xiao Feng reluctantly handed the precious demon core to the nine-headed lion in front of him.
This time, Xiao Feng wasn't lying. He had indeed kept the demon core alive until now because he couldn't absorb its power.
"This demon core... what immense power! Where did you find this demon core? I can actually sense the bloodline power of several great demons inside."
After the demon core was obtained by the Nine-Headed Lion, the Nine-Headed Lion carefully sensed it with its demonic power and spoke to Xiao Feng with some surprise.
"What? I obtained this by chance after killing a powerful demon in a secret realm. He swallowed the demon core."
"If this were the original owner of the demon core, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his match!" Xiao Feng hadn't expected that such a big secret was hidden in this demon core.
