“Of course not, I’m just wondering where you plan to take us?”
“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained. Just follow along, relax, I didn’t rescue you merely to lead you into another pitfall. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done so already without waiting until now.”
After Feng Qing’an left these words behind, he didn’t say more. He plunged into the boundless Dark Realm Territory before his eyes. After reaching the shattered netherworld, if you wanted to gain access to the next place, you had to pass through this Dark Realm Territory, enduring the darkness void of both light and direction.
Seeing Feng Qing’an’s departing silhouette, Hua Qingyu had not yet managed to move. The ever-obedient Jin Suyan was the first to follow. Afterwards, the true disciple of the Star Lodging Sect glanced at the other disciples, then followed closely behind.
“Being frightened and apprehensive of Feng Qing’an harming you, why continue to follow him? Wouldn’t it be better to just return to the human world?”
Xin Fu mocked them and similarly stepped into the darkness, following the spiritual light trail left by Feng Qing’an.
“Let’s go!”
“Since the ghost immortals nearby haven’t attacked us, even more so now.”
“It’s just that this Wind Daoist’s identity is too enigmatic, we have to be alert.”
“If you’re really cautious, just go back directly, don’t waste your energy!”
After a moment of conversation among the prodigies, they too stepped into the darkness. They didn’t know where Feng Qing’an was leading them, but given that they didn’t have the two secret keys, even if they wanted to seize them by force, considering their current environment and the martial power of the true disciple of the Star Lodging Sect, it was likely to be fruitless.
“Feng Qing’an, where are you planning to go?”
Within the boundless, endless darkness, Hua Qingyu, who had caught up, looking as if she were about to nestle into Feng Qing’an’s embrace, grabbed onto the genuine disciple of Danding Zong, unperturbedly pushing her aside and then asked Feng Qing’an.
Only Jin Suyan who had lost half of the Divine Phoenix Secret Key to Feng Qing’an was not concerned about Hua Qingyu’s seemingly hostile behavior. In her coquettish and flirtatious eyes, there hid a deep desire, burning intensely like a raging fire.
Entertaining others with her charm would not last long. The sole commendable thing about Jin Suya, the genuine disciple of the Danding Zong, was her excellent pill refining technique and her beauty. But could these things grant her the path to immortality?
“Naturally, I’m taking you to the border of You Huang Ghost Country. I happen to own a piece of land at the border there. It’s wonderful to have you help me conquer some territory for free!”
Feng Qing’an bluntly replied to Hua Qingyu. The place he was planning to go was, of course, the Specter Wolf Demon Nation that was encroached by Black Mountain. After Black Mountain broke through and became a real Demon King, it took hold of the Demon Nation.
Back then, Feng Qing’an, using the power of the Ghost Soul Sect, had subdued several Demon Wolf Kings in the Demon Nation. But when the people of the Ghost Soul Sect left, and Black Mountain still held the titular role of Demon Nation’s ruler, the old Wolf Kings were not satisfied.
During this period, Feng Qing’an learned that Black Mountain was now facing serious challenges. The old Wolf Kings wanted to oust Black Mountain from the position of Demon Nation’s ruler and seat themselves. But they held back due to regards for the Ghost Soul Sect, thus they pretended to agree outwardly while opposing in their hearts.
Now that there’s an opportunity, Feng Qing’an naturally wanted to hold the fort for his favorite pet, Black Mountain. Black Mountain had worked hard and deservedly followed him for so long, he couldn’t let the creature suffer.
This time, whatever it took, he planned to secure the position as the Demon Nation’s ruler for Black Mountain. He was curious to see how the old Wolf Kings would react when faced with the prodigies he was leading.
…
“Your Majesty, King Wua, King Hunu, King Zhe Lan… All these old kings claim they do not have the time and therefore cannot attend the Feast of Ten Thousand Souls you are hosting.”
In the grand stone hall filled with a crude and wild aura unique to the Demon Clan, a giant demonic wolf with smooth fur, like silk, reflecting shimmering water light, with icy blue spectral fire burning in its eyes, prostrated on the ground. It respectfully reported to the Wolf King who was perched atop the hall’s highest point.
Roar~
Looking down at the young great demon who had just recently followed him, the mammoth figure of the giant wolf, which nearly filled the grand stone hall, let out a low growl.
Its ivory fangs glistened, tangible Demon Qi surging and wrapping around this stone hall, turning it into a pale spectral fire, burning brightly yet not diminishing in the slightest. Any wandering ghosts that dared to approach this palace were reduced to dust before they could even scream.
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. These old wolves are deceiving you because of your youth and do not see your strengths. You don’t need to waste your temper on them. Once you’ve matured, you will be able to crush these old wolves into dust and make sure they never rise again.”
Before this suffocating Demon Qi, the Ghost Wolf messenger lowered his head even further, involuntarily shaking, yet his heart was filled with joy.
He was able to clearly sense that the power of this king had increased since their last meeting. Although the change was not obvious, he was able to discern it.
Reaching the realm of the Demon King, and still making rapid progress, those old wolves simply do not possess such a bloodline talent. This is the kind of Wolf King that he should follow.
Although at present he has been rejected by the majority of ghost wolves in the Demon Nation and regarded as a traitor, he believes that after enduring this difficult period, he will definitely rise above the rest, becoming the most powerful wolf in the kingdom.
By that time, he could use his power to cultivate his demonic power to the realm of a Demon King. Only by doing what ordinary Ghost Wolves dare not do, could he achieve great things that they couldn’t.
Roar~
Hearing such comforting words, Heishan slightly lifted his upper body, his murderous aura already mixed with his demon qi, transforming into hundreds of wolf heads that roared in the hall.
Most of the demonic wolves who defected to him in the Demon Nation were advising him to bide his time until he truly rises and then seize the true power of the Demon Nation.
However, Heishan, who has grown from a dog without any bloodline to a Ghost Wolf Demon King in just a few years, has no such patience.
He had shown what he thought was enough goodwill to those old kings, but not only did they disregard his goodwill, they even took it as a sign of his cowardice and submission.
If so, then there’s nothing to discuss. Even if he has just recently transcended the heavenly tribulation and condensed the Demon Pill, he doesn’t think he’s any worse off than any old Wolf King in the Demon Nation.
“Your Majesty, none of those old wolves is your match, but they will join forces. If you cannot get help from the Human Race, it would be wise to be patient.”
Seeing the king he chose to follow so irritable, behaving like a young Ghost Wolf who had not yet grown up and was ignorant of the world, the great Ghost Wolf demon felt a headache, but could only advise him respectfully.
Roar~
Despite the menacing glare in Heishan’s eyes, he had no choice but to consider the opinion of the great demon below him. In a one-on-one situation, he believed he could match any old Wolf King.
But in a two-against-one, or even a three-against-one situation, he’d have to be careful. The Ghost Wolf Demon Nation had five Demon Kings before he arrived. The thought of these Demon Kings joining forces made him uneasy, no matter how confident he was.
Unless he becomes the Supreme Demon King, he has no way to deal with these old Wolf Kings joining forces. Some of these old Wolf Kings have been in their realm for hundreds of years. They are not the kind of beings a young Demon King can bully at will.
Howl——
Heishan, who was initially hesitant and considering taking the advice of the great demon following him, suddenly paused. Then the ferocious light in his eyes shot out like two beams of light.
The Demon Qi that was already hovering around him suddenly turned into a Demon Qi tornado, soaring up into the sky, instantly flipping the roof of the great hall, brazenly displaying its presence to the four quarters.
