The stars in the sky began to disappear as dark clouds gradually gathered over Bai Family Town.
In the garden, a bloody smell lingered in the air. Everyone was silent, staring wide-eyed at the unconscious Enchanting lying on the ground.
Ziren seemed to have completely lost patience. He gently stroked the Black Cat in his hands before placing it on the ground.
The Black Cat stretched lazily, opened its mouth, and yawned, revealing its sharp teeth. It slowly walked into the cage and glanced at Lingfeng dismissively.
Lingfeng was so frightened that he backed away, hugging himself tightly like a woman, and shouted, "You damn cat, stay away from me after that freak touched you!"
Seeing Lingfeng yelling at it, the Black Cat huffed threateningly, its black fur bristling as if it had just come out of a furnace.
The Black Cat's fur stood on end, even its ears perked up.
Lingfeng couldn't help but gasp! He noticed that the Black Cat had two eyes on its ears, which were purple and emitted an eerie aura. At that moment, they were wide open, staring intently at Lingfeng.
"Soul-Devouring Cat!" Lingfeng exclaimed in shock.
Ziren chuckled coldly a few times and mocked, "Since you know this is a Soul-Devouring Cat, you should also know it's a beast from the underworld!"
Lingfeng certainly knew about the Soul-Devouring Cat; it was second only to Cerberus among the beasts of the underworld. Cerberus was the guardian dog of the underworld, while the Soul-Devouring Cat specialized in feeding on wandering souls.
It was said that the two eyes on the Soul-Devouring Cat's ears could see all wandering souls within its line of sight and could capture them for further consumption.
However, this Soul-Devouring Cat was a beast from the underworld and had now become Ziren's pet! Lingfeng was greatly shocked and began to look at Ziren with new respect.
Seeing Lingfeng silent, Ziren casually said, "This Soul-Devouring Cat was originally a beast from the underworld, but it came to the human realm because of our connection. However, after my careful training, it no longer feeds on wandering souls." After a pause, Ziren added heavily, "Now it feeds on humans!"
Ziren's words were not meant to scare him; Lingfeng believed them wholeheartedly. Still pretending to be calm, he laughed and said, "Oh? Really? Does it think it can eat me? Hahaha, that's hilarious!" With that, he took a step back.
Ziren glared at Lingfeng and said to the Soul-Devouring Cat, "Soul-Devouring Cat, eat the three corpses on the ground!"
The Soul-Devouring Cat squinted its eyes and let out a sound, looking quite pleased. It then ignored Lingfeng and ran over to the three corpses.
The Soul-Devouring Cat stretched its neck and shook its body all over.
Seeing this, Lingfeng burst into laughter, pointing at the Soul-Devouring Cat while holding his stomach, mocking, "What is it doing? Is it dancing for the dead? Hahaha..."
However, before he could finish laughing, the Soul-Devouring Cat suddenly began to grow larger. Slowly, it grew to a height of three meters. Its head was as large as three adult heads combined, with sharp fangs and a full coat of black fur. Its front limbs lifted off the ground and transformed into a human-like shape, resembling a werewolf.
The Soul-Devouring Cat looked at the three corpses on the ground, appearing ravenous. It grabbed one of the bodies and brought its neck close to its mouth, effortlessly swallowing it down.
Some of the servants around them, despite having seen many things, felt nauseated at this sight.
Lingfeng simply ran to a corner and began to vomit in disgust.
Before long, the Soul-Devouring Cat let out a satisfied burp and returned to its original form, lying down by Ziren's feet.
Ziren remained cold and indifferent in appearance, seemingly unfazed by the gruesome scene of the Soul-Devouring Cat eating. Noticing that Lingfeng was still retching over there, he slowly spoke up, "Are you planning to hand over the Phoenix Pearl?"
"N-No way!" Lingfeng felt a dull pain in his abdomen; the earlier scene had been too bloody and disgusting.
"Are you not afraid?" Ziren asked.
Lingfeng curled his lip and gestured wildly before looking up defiantly. "I don't believe you would let this beast eat me. If it does, you won't find the Phoenix Pearl either!"
Ziren shook his head and said, "I certainly won't kill you!" He then glanced at Enchanting on the ground and added, "It's a pity about this beautiful girl. If the Soul-Devouring Cat scratches her face a couple of times, in no time at all, her face will rot from the inside out. At that point, she would be better off dead!" With that, the Soul-Devouring Cat indeed got up and lay beside Enchanting's face.
"Lingfeng, how could you let Ziren hurt Enchanting like this?" he shouted, "You coward, you freak, you pervert! If you have the guts, come at me instead. Bullying a defenseless girl is not what heroes do!"
"Heroes?" Ziren repeated, as if the term was an insult to him. However, Lingfeng's words seemed to have an effect.
Ziren lowered his head, and no one could see his expression. It seemed he was trying to control his anger. But his body radiated a terrifying aura, and the air suddenly turned cold.
Lingfeng became increasingly afraid to speak. It turned out that Ziren was emitting a purple glow!
"Here we go again!" Lingfeng thought.
At that moment, the voice of the Qing Sect Leader reached Lingfeng's ears. "This Ziren is a Demon Cultivator, and that Soul-Devouring Cat is no ordinary creature. You need to be careful!"
Lingfeng wanted to ask what level of cultivation Ziren had, but he didn't know how to communicate with the sect leader. Just as he was feeling anxious, the leader quickly advised him, "Ziren's cultivation is extraordinary; he has at least reached the Soul Formation Stage. I'm only able to speak with you now because he's let his guard down!" After that, there was silence.
Lingfeng was secretly astonished.
Generally speaking, the Soul Formation Stage is equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage for cultivators. In fact, a Demon Cultivator at the Soul Formation Stage is much stronger than a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.
At this moment, Qing was struggling to break through the final stage of the Nascent Soul Stage but had not succeeded yet. If a battle were to occur, victory was not guaranteed because Ziren also had a Netherworld beast, the Soul-Devouring Cat, on his side!
After a while, the purple glow around Ziren finally began to fade.
Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had calmed down.
However, Ziren's next words left Lingfeng disheartened.
"Soul-Devouring Cat! Strip him of his clothes!" Ziren commanded without a hint of hesitation.
The Soul-Devouring Cat seemed particularly fond of this, joyfully jumping high, while Ling Kong flipped over and swiftly darted into the cage.
Lingfeng was astonished, thinking that this fellow was indeed a hermaphrodite. Although this Hero was handsome, his sexual orientation was still quite normal! He covered himself and shouted, "You dead freak, with so many men around you, which one is not more experienced than me? Why do you choose me?"
Ziren merely wanted to give Lingfeng a taste of his own medicine, but unexpectedly, Lingfeng blurted out such words, causing Ziren's face to alternate between blue and red. However, he managed to suppress his anger and pretended to be confused as he sat there.
The Soul-Devouring Cat entered the cage without transforming into a werewolf form. It looked at Lingfeng with a sneer, resembling a lustful tomcat.
Lingfeng was terrified. The Soul-Devouring Cat excelled at capturing wandering souls and was the fastest in the underworld. The Cerberus of the underworld was originally the nemesis of the Soul-Devouring Cat; however, the Soul-Devouring Cat could evade Cerberus's attacks with its agile and nimble body, allowing it to survive in the underworld.
At this moment, Lingfeng could only silently lament. Deeply saddened, he finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "My purity! Am I really going to lose it to these perverts—a person and a cat?"
The Soul-Devouring Cat hesitated no longer; all four eyes opened simultaneously, revealing a hint of greed. Then, with a whoosh, it vanished from sight.
Lingfeng was stunned. He had been watching the Soul-Devouring Cat intently, yet it had disappeared right before his eyes!
Just as he was puzzled, a teasing cat call sounded from his right side.
Lingfeng shivered and looked over; it turned out that the cat was curled up in the corner of the wall.
Cats, whether from the human world or the underworld, love to play with their prey in their paws. At that moment, in the eyes of the Soul-Devouring Cat, Lingfeng was its prey, to be toyed with before it would do what it wanted.
However, outside, Ziren had grown impatient and shouted, "Soul-Devouring Cat, don't forget what I instructed you to do!"
The Soul-Devouring Cat respectfully glanced at Ziren and then remembered its mission. With another shake of its body, a shadow lunged toward Lingfeng.
Lingfeng's cultivation level was low; naturally, his speed wasn't fast either. Thus, the Soul-Devouring Cat didn't need to use all its strength to attack Lingfeng. As the shadow of the Soul-Devouring Cat pounced toward him, Lingfeng could see it clearly.
"Look at me!" Lingfeng thought to himself with delight, then quickly turned around, narrowly dodging the attack from the Soul-Devouring Cat.
Seeing its attack fail, the Soul-Devouring Cat let out a joyful cry and pretended to lunge forward.
Lingfeng was startled and hurriedly stepped back, falling right into the trap set by the Soul-Devouring Cat.
The Soul-Devouring Cat feigned an attack but did not actually pounce on Lingfeng. At that moment, as Lingfeng retreated a few steps, he lost his balance, making it the perfect time for an attack.
Sure enough, the Soul-Devouring Cat let out a cry and swiftly lunged at Lingfeng.
Lingfeng shouted in alarm; he had no ability to dodge now! Instinctively, he raised his arm to shield his head.
"Meow~~!" A piercing cat cry followed.
It turned out that just as the Soul-Devouring Cat made contact with Lingfeng, a domineering purple protective barrier appeared out of nowhere! When the Soul-Devouring Cat hit the purple barrier, it was as if it had collided with a bouncing purple glass, causing it to be thrown back.
"Falling Leaf Technique?" Ziren stood up involuntarily upon seeing the purple barrier surrounding Lingfeng, a hint of surprise and delight appearing on his face.
Seeing that the Soul-Devouring Cat couldn't harm him, Lingfeng couldn't help but feel pleased and shouted at Ziren, "I don't care what you call it—Soul-Devouring Cat or whatever—acting like a mother cat won't hurt me!"
Ziren, however, did not waste words. He extended his right index finger and lightly pointed. A beam of purple Spiritual Energy shot out from his fingertip and struck Lingfeng.
