Morning came and their travel continued without any hindrance. All the Demon Beast that tried to kill them was eliminated by Shu Feng in an instant.
Their travel continues for another two days. After this, they finally arrive at the Outer Part of the Demon King Forest.
They decided to take a rest first before moving out. Even though they were now in the Outer Part, General Su didn't let his guard down in every minute.
Their might be a pissibility that a ambush would be waiting for them at any corner.
Shu Feng sent out Zise to hunt some Demon Beast. He was not worried about him since their was barely any Demon Beast that could threaten him in this part of the forest.
Of course Shu Feng makes sure that Zise was within his System Map just in case that a unexpected event takes place.
Although they were in a contract, Shu Feng cannot see or hear anything that Zise was experiencing. UG told him that it would be only possible if the contracted Beast could gain it's intelligence.
Though he could still perceive the Little Guy's emotion.
Kei was cultivating silently at a one side near Shu Feng. He was still holding the Ball of Energy that his Brother gave him. It was already at the size of eyeball and it keeps on getting smaller and smaller with each passing time.
Shu Feng was just silently resting while sitting in a Crossed-leg position. He was thinking deeply about
what Gao Jie told him.
Making a deal with a Demon Beast that is much more stronger than him would surely endanger him. And he was not even sure about their true intention.
As for what dealings that they wanted to make, he was not aware since Gao Jie didn't tell him any details.
The Ruler of the Demon King Forent wanted to make a deal with him. This was meant to be extraordinary.
And there was even the matter about the Spirit Beast Fire Lion back then. He was unsure about who sent that Beast to kill them at that time.
He estimated that Gao Jie was not the only Nascent Soul Beast under that unknown leader. And there was a possibility that there was among them that wanted to kill him.
As for the reason, he was not sure himself since he didn't even find any trouble with them.
'I must reach Nineth Stage this whole week.' Shu Feng said to himself.
He didn't want to go naturally but since someone wanted him dead, then he could only kill that someone to end the future troubles.
*Ding*

'Woah! Such generous rewards.' Shu Feng thought while rubbing his eyes to confirm he was seeing things correctly.
"Let's go." Shu Feng said to the group whike standing up and calling the Little Guy over through the contract.
Zise came rushing while dragging some dead Demon Beast behind his back using his own energy.
Shu Feng flick his finger and stored those dead bodies inside his Item Space.
They were all confuse about the sudden travel, but since it was Shu Feng who said it then they thought that there must be something urgent he needed to do.
They were right! Feng needed to escort Bai Shi to the Dragon Eagle City as soon as possible so that he could focus on cultivating.
Although he can just cultivate right here and right now, it was still better to secure Bai Shi first so that some unforseen event would not take place.
What if the Blood Skull Society sent someone at the Nascent Soul, then all of them would be doomed for sure.
It was better to be safe than sorry after all.
After running for almost two days, they finally manage to come out of the Outer Part of the Demon King Forest.
Seeing the peaceful and calming scenery, General Su and the others felt relieved.
They were finally out of the forest!
Walking forward, a village could be seen a hundred kilometers from them.
Shu Feng decided to settle here first until afternoon before making their way towards the Dragon Eagle City which is a full hour of travel from this village.
As soon as they entered inside the village, all the people that they pass through was looking at them. No not them but only looking at two person who was walking in front.
They were staring at Shu Feng and Kei.
It was expected since their appearance was god-like and paired with their aura made them even more eye catching.
'Maybe I should put some disguise?' Shu Feng thought while looking straight and didn't bother to glance at the people who was looking at him.
Kei was the same, he didn't pay any attention to them.
They soon arrived to a inn and book their own rooms for a day, although they were only here to rest for a few hours.
Before arriving to their room, Shu Feng gave Kei a white cloak so that he could use it to cover his face.
After resting for an hour, they decided to eat some food first before moving out.
When they come out, Shu Feng ane Kei was wearing white cloak so that they could hide their appearance.
They seat in two tables in the corner of the inn before ordering some food.
"They said that a massive event would take place at the Center Part of the Demon King Forest." A man in his thirties mumbled to his partner.
Shu Feng heard him sinve they were only a short distance apart. He become interested when he heard that it was connected to the Center Part of the Demon King Forest.
He was planning to visit there soon after all.
So ny information regarding it would be bery beneficial to him.
He continued to perk his ear so that he could liaten carefully.
"Really? Is there a treasure going to be born?" His partner answered while eating his food showing a curious expression.
"No, they said that the Leader of the Demon King Forest would try to advance another realm within ten days!"
"What?! Isn't that dangerous?!"
"Of course it was. This was also the reason why many powerhouses would gather and try their luck."
Shu Feng listened attentively to their discussion. It seems like this information was somewhat related to the deal.
Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Building Realm didn't need any kinds of tribulation to ascend.
But when someone wanted to advance to Core Formation Realm, they needed to face the wrath of Heaven.
They must endure the Heavenly Tribulation in order to passed the trial.
After that was the Nascent Soul Realm. In this level, cultivators would have to face a Heavenly Tribulation every stages. They call it the Nine Nascent Tribulation.
The higher youre realm is, the more powerful the Heavenly Tribulation will be.
When someone failed to ascend, they would either die or severely injured ane not be able to cultivate anymore if luck was on their side.
But even if the ascension was successful, you will be completely exhausted that even a normal human would be able to kill you.
This was the reason why all the powerhouses wanter to try their luck.
Shu Feng knows that the information was not just some baseless rumor since he could detect some powerful auras in the whole village right now.
And some are even recruiting companions.
Shu Feng suddenly got a vague idea on what deal the leader wanted to make with him. And thinking about it makes it more dangerous for him about going to the Center Part of the Demon King Forest.
But since he has a mission right now, then he could only go and complete it.
What's more, he has still a dept he needed to collect.
.....
Shu Feng and the company exits the inn after paying their bills.
They leave the village and went towards the Dragon Eagle City.
After some time, a gigantic and majestic looking wall greets their sights.
Some people were lining up in front of a One Hundred Meters gate.
They soon made their way towards the end of the line and waited patiently for their turn.
Few hours later, General Su stood beside the guard.
"100 Golds per individual." The guard said while looking at General Su with his stoic expression.
General Su gently retrieve a golden plate of token with a symbol of 'Su' written on it. It was already somewhat worn out and dirt could be seen on it.
He showed it towards the guard which made the latter confuse.
"Are you mocking me? I am asking you to pay up and yet you showed me a scrape and dirty token?!" The guard shouted in rage while glaring at General Su.
General Su was shocked about the guard's reaction and became angry all of a sudden.
This was a freaking token of the Su Family which is used as a identity for the Family Head.
His father gave him this token so that they would be aware of his identity.
But a guard just called it scrape and dirty?! Isn't he insulting the whole Su Family then?
Seeing the situation, Shu Feng became furious since his mission was being delayed.
He still needs to cultivate and the more time he waste, the lesser time he got for preparing himself for the worst outcome after meeting the Leader of the Demon King Forest.
This matter involves his life and death.
He stared at the guard with his eyes full of irritation. His Chaos Energy was coming out of his body, making the surrounding Energy Source to run amok.
Everyone back down when they felt that something was wrong.
The guard in question suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood since he was directly receiving the effect of Feng's Chaos Energy.
"Y-you, if you dared to kill me, you would be the be hunted as a criminal." The guard weakly said while looking at Shu Feng in terror.
He could not see his face since he was wearing a cloak that completely hides his appearance. Only his eyes were glaring intensely at him.
"What's going on here?!" A shout suddenly came from the gate of the city and followed by a muscular man walking out.
"General! Please save me, he wanted to kill me!" The guard shouted in joy while grinning.
"Explain what happened." The General said while looking at the pitiful state of the guard.
'Sigh, why is this guard so dumb?' He thought while looking at Shu Feng with a wary exoression.
The guard was confuse as to why their General wanted an explanation since he was known to be fierce and violent if someone makes trouble here.
But he still chose to explain everything without leaving any details behind.
Hearing him, the General was frowning when he heard the token with a Su symbol written on it.
"Can you show me your token young man?" The General said while beckoning his hand towards General Su.
He throws the token towards the muscular man while showing a grin on his face. He knows him after all.
After observing the token, the General's expression suddenly turned grim.
He looked towards the guard and felt furious. He directly sends him flying.
"Bring him to the prison and whip him 200 times. This token was not scrapy and dirty. The one who holds this token represents the Head of the Su Family. Now you know how grave your mistake is." The General says while looking towards the half awake guard with a dark expression.
General Su came in front of the General before cupping his fist and slightly bowing his head and he said.
"Su Hei greets uncle."
"Hahaha, good, good. It seems like you finally returned. I almost didn't recognize you from your looks. You look like a beggar, hahaha." The General laugh while patting General Su's back which made the latter smile wryly. It was like the former was not furious from the start.
"So how is your father? Why did you come back so soon?"
Hearing the question, General Su was somewhat in a dilemma on how he should explain everything. He cannot help but show a complicated expression.
Seeing his reaction, the General became serious knowing that the situation was not good.
"You've work hard. Follow me towards the Family and explain everything to me." The General said then he suddenly turn his attention towards Shu Feng and Kei who was hiding their appearance.
He didn't pay much attention at first but he could see that both of them has a very god-like appearance that could make any maiden deeply fall in love with them.
General Su sensed his uncle's attention towards Shu Feng and Kei and he immidiately told him about them.
"They save us on our way here. Without them, we would not be able to arrive here safe and sound."
The General nodded his head and turn his head and let them follow him.
But he was still warry about Shu Feng and Kei since he could not see through their cultivation. It was like it was veiled by a very thick mist.
Shu Feng followed behind General Su towards the place where the Su Family was located. He knowe that he needs to escort Young Master Bai until he reach his destination. And he estimated that he would need to escort him to the Bai Family territory.
Soon, the information about the return of the Young Master of the Su Family circulated throughout the city.
