Seeing that Mo Cheng was truly dead, Lin Feng finally descended to the ground with Qing Lin.
Taking out his long spear, he swiftly pierced Mo Cheng's skull, ensuring he was completely dead.
Next, Lin Feng severed Mo Cheng's left arm, storing the Mountain Shattering Arm into his storage ring.
Earlier, he had witnessed its tremendous power firsthand. If not for this artifact, there was no way that a mere five-star Dou Ling like Mo Cheng could have injured Xiao Ling, a nine-star Dou Ling.
Moreover, this was the forelimb of a Rank 5 Magic Beast—it was surely worth a considerable fortune.
Following that, Lin Feng also took Mo Cheng's storage ring.
Then, he looted the storage rings from Mo Clan's other two members and Luo Bu, retrieving them from the desert vipers' remains.
"Heh, as expected of the Mo Clan's Grand Elder—his collection is truly impressive."
Holding the rings, Lin Feng scanned Mo Cheng's storage ring and discovered a stash of High-Grade Black-Class techniques and Dou Techniques.
Not to mention, there were also two fourth-tier pills inside, making him grin with delight.
These treasures were exactly what he needed at this moment!
"Oh? He even carried a few third-tier healing pills and Qi Recovery pills."
Lin Feng's eyes flickered with realization.
"Good thing Xiao Ling broke his leg earlier, forcing him into a desperate state of fear. Otherwise, if he had managed to consume these pills, taking him down would have been much more difficult."
With a chuckle of relief, Lin Feng pulled out one of the third-tier healing pills, examined it briefly, then tossed it toward Xiao Ling.
The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent sensed the dense medicinal aura exuding from the pill and immediately recognized it as being highly beneficial to its recovery.
With a snap of its jaws, it swallowed the pill and began its restoration process.
Afterward, Lin Feng checked the other rings.
Aside from Mo Xi's storage ring, which contained a Mid-Grade Black-Class technique and Dou Technique, the rest only held Low-Grade Black-Class techniques.
Turning to Qing Lin, Lin Feng asked, "See if there's anything here that interests you."
After a quick search, he didn't take the four rings for himself but instead handed them to Qing Lin.
"I don't need these, Young Master. You should keep them instead."
The young girl shook her head, her expression eager, before quickly stuffing the rings into Lin Feng's robes as if afraid he would refuse.
After doing all this, she turned toward Xiao Ling, who was recovering well, then suddenly tugged on Lin Feng's arm and dragged him behind Xiao Ling and the Horned Viper King.
Lin Feng was puzzled by her actions, but before he could ask, he noticed Qing Lin's delicate face turn serious.
Her clear eyes gazed solemnly into the distance, locking onto a large sand dune far away.
Then, she raised her voice, her tone commanding and unwavering.
"Come out! I already sensed you."
"Heh, I told you that with the presence of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, there's no way I could hide from the Saintess' perception. Lü Man, you still wouldn't believe me."
A deep, eerie voice echoed from behind the distant sand dune.
Before Lin Feng could react, a loud rumbling shook the desert.
Then—
A massive creature—nearly thirty meters long—soared into the sky!
The creature's shadow stretched across the vast desert, blotting out the sunlight as it shot toward them at incredible speed.
Its immense frame was slender yet formidable, resembling a serpentine magic beast.
Its flight speed was terrifying—its massive tail flicked through the air, causing its body to shift in an instant, as though teleporting.
In just a few flashes, it had already closed the distance, hovering in the air not far from Lin Feng and Qing Lin.
As it approached, Lin Feng finally got a clear look at its entire form.
At that moment, he involuntarily took a sharp breath.
A giant beast.
Or more accurately—
A giant serpent.
Its colossal body was jet black, but across its dark scales, there were intricate patterns of multicolored markings, making it appear exotic and mysterious.
Most astonishingly—
Along its flanks, the creature had eight massive wings, shimmering in deep violet hues, adding a sense of terrifying majesty.
Atop its serpentine head, a sharp, spiral-shaped black horn protruded.
Its tip glowed faintly with a purplish sheen, a clear sign that it was brimming with lethal poison.
"Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor?!"
Lin Feng's heart pounded as he recognized the colossal serpent before him.
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor—a rare, innately gifted beast. It was the evolved form of a Two-Winged Black Serpent, a Rank 3 Magic Beast.
From the Rank 3 onward, it would grow an additional pair of wings with each breakthrough in rank.
Upon reaching eight wings, it would be crowned as an emperor—The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor!
"Heh, kid, you've got quite the sharp eyes. I didn't expect you to recognize me."
The giant serpent's mouth curled into what resembled a grin, revealing its menacing fangs. As it spoke, its voice carried a deep, eerie chuckle.
"Tch, the only reason we got exposed was because of you, Bai Ya. Your aura is too conspicuous."
Just as Lin Feng and Qing Lin were still focused on the serpent, a woman clad in green robes suddenly appeared beside them.
She had emerald-colored wings unfurled behind her as she floated in midair.
Unlike Lin Feng's Purple Cloud Wings, hers did not have a solid physical form, appearing slightly illusory.
However, this very ethereal quality only further proved her strength—for these were not the result of a flying Dou Technique.
They were true Dou Qi Wings!
"Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"
Upon recognizing Bai Ya and Lü Man, Lin Feng's heart tightened.
For the first time, he was facing two Dou Huangs directly—his breath caught in his throat as his adrenaline surged.
His muscles tensed, his fingers slightly trembled—
But not from fear.
Instead, it was the raw excitement of encountering such powerful figures.
"Oh? So this little guy actually knows about our Heavenly Serpent Mansion?"
Lü Man cast a surprised glance at Lin Feng before her gaze shifted to Qing Lin—
And in that instant, her eyes lit up with delight.
For decades, both she and Bai Ya had been searching the continent under orders to find someone with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils—but their search had always come up empty.
Yet a month ago, their Chief had sent a soul transmission, informing them of a fluctuation from the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils appearing in this region.
Hurrying over, they had arrived just in time to witness the battle between Lin Feng and Mo Cheng.
And the moment Bai Ya laid eyes on Qing Lin, an inexplicable feeling of dread confirmed his suspicions—
This girl was undoubtedly the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!
Seeing how close Qing Lin seemed to be with Lin Feng, Lü Man remained polite, offering a seemingly gentle smile.
Her gaze landed on Lin Feng, and she spoke in an almost casual tone—
"Little one, would you mind handing over that little girl beside you?"
Though her words sounded like a request, her tone carried an undeniable commanding pressure.
"I can go with you…"
Qing Lin stepped forward, standing in front of Lin Feng as she met Lü Man's gaze with unwavering calm.
"…but only if you help my Young Master with one matter first."
Hearing this, Lü Man's brows furrowed slightly—she had no interest in wasting time.
To her, the sooner they could take the Saintess back, the better.
But after a brief pause, her expression softened back into a smile.
"Little sister, why waste time on that boy? To him, you're just a servant."
She smirked, her voice taking on a coaxing tone—
"If you come with me now, I can guarantee that your life will be a thousand times better than staying by his side."
"And don't worry, as long as we're here, he wouldn't dare mistreat you."
