**Fire Phoenix Hall**
Three figures sat within the grand hall, each exuding an astonishing aura, all Ancestral Realm great demons!
These three were the Three Ancestors of Phoenix Cry Mountain!
Representing the peak combat strength of Phoenix Cry Mountain, they also stood for its three major Ancestral Realm factions: Wind Thunder Mountain, White Feather Mountain, and Golden Domain Mountain!
At this moment, Lei Yu Purple Lightning’s expression was somewhat grim, as a demon cultivator under his command had just reported that two mid-stage Demon Kings had gone to Phoenix Pass.
He knew exactly what this meant.
“You two, we all serve the Holy King. Why resort to such schemes?”
Lei Yu Purple Lightning looked at the two demons before him, his voice low.
“Brother Purple Lightning, what do you mean? I don’t quite follow,” said a handsome young man in white feather robes, his brows slightly furrowed. He then turned to the burly man in golden armour beside him and asked, “Brother Ao, do you understand what Brother Purple Lightning means?”
“Brother Purple Lightning is pointing fingers at us!” the golden-armoured man snorted, casting a cold glance at Lei Yu Purple Lightning. He said indifferently, “Since Brother Purple Lightning suspects we’re behind this, why not show some evidence? Without proof, we might need an explanation from you!”
“My apologies if I was presumptuous. If I’ve offended you, I hope you two brothers can forgive me!” Lei Yu Purple Lightning smiled, though his expression remained sour. He then said calmly, “I meant no harm, just seeking confirmation. Since both of you say you’re uninvolved, I’m relieved.
To be frank, I’ve sent Shuang’er to Phoenix Pass, carrying a decree I bestowed. No matter where those two Demon Kings come from, they won’t escape death!”
At these words, the eyes of the two Demon Ancestors opposite him flickered slightly, though their faces showed no change. The feather-robed Demon Ancestor even chuckled lightly, “Bai Shuang is a treasure of your Wind Thunder Mountain. You’re willing to send her to face two Demon Kings?
If she dies out there by some mishap, what a pity that would be!”
“No need for Brother Lu to worry!”
“In my view, the ones who sent those Demon Kings to scheme against me should be the ones trembling now.
I don’t care about the lives of two Demon Kings, but if this reaches the Holy King, there’ll be quite a show!” Lei Yu Purple Lightning sneered repeatedly.
“Let’s hope your Wind Thunder Mountain’s prodigy can slay those two Demon Kings!” White Lu snorted, then closed his eyes.
“I heard Brother Purple Lightning encountered the White Tiger Holy King at Black Wind Mountain? Did you see with your own eyes that he’s still alive?” the golden-armoured Demon Ancestor asked.
“Whether he’s alive or not, Brother Ao, you can test it yourself. That toad demon has come to our Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory. A slight move from you would reveal if the White Tiger Holy King is still in this world,” Lei Yu Purple Lightning said with a smile.
“That’s true, but I think your probing is enough, Brother Purple Lightning. My Zhan family isn’t as strong as your Lei Yu family, so I’d rather stay a bystander. You, on the other hand, should be careful!
That’s the White Tiger Holy King!
One misstep, and your Lei Yu family’s centuries of foundation might be lost!”
The golden-armoured Demon Ancestor closed his eyes after speaking, leaving Lei Yu Purple Lightning quietly fuming.
Leaving aside the rivalry in Fire Phoenix Hall, far away at Phoenix Pass, Mo Fan and Hei Yi paused briefly on a leafy ridge before continuing straight into the pass!
The moment Mo Fan stepped into Phoenix Pass, a surge of immense demonic energy erupted above him.
He looked up to see a figure in white soaring through the air, radiating terrifying demonic energy, with a massive black sun materialising above, illuminating the void!
“Bai Shuang of Wind Thunder Mountain, I’ll borrow your head for a moment!”
Bai Shuang stood proudly in the void, atop a demonic cloud, her eyes blazing with killing intent. With a wave of her hand, countless black spikes shot out from the black sun!
Facing the overwhelming barrage of spikes, a glint of killing intent flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes. His black wings unfurled, ready to act, but Hei Yi beat him to it, soaring upward with her wings spread.
“Master, I’ll slay her!”
Hei Yi flew toward the onslaught of spikes, her body instantly covered in black armour. The barrage struck her, yet she showed no reaction.
It was as if the spikes couldn’t even breach her defence!
Mo Fan smiled slightly, full of anticipation for Hei Yi’s current strength. After a moment’s thought, he touched his forehead, and the tiger pattern appeared. Three figures emerged, landing beside him.
Seeing the double-headed wolf demon and the turtle demon changgui, Mo Fan was taken aback.
Both looked battered, their faces bruised and swollen. The moment they left the changgui space, the turtle demon threw himself at Mo Fan’s feet, wailing, “Master, that new guy is too much! Relying on his higher cultivation, he beats and berates us at every turn, completely lacking demonic virtue! Please, Master, lock him up somewhere else!”
“…”
Mo Fan was speechless, then asked with a puzzled look, “You’re all changgui now. How can you still get beaten black and blue?”
“Master, that’s not the point! The point is… ah… that fiend is coming again!”
“Master, look at this!!”
“Master, save me…!!”
Before the turtle demon could finish, Bai Yi approached with a stern face, grabbed him by a leg, and dragged him aside without a word, proceeding to pummel him right in front of Mo Fan.
“Ah…!!”
“You damned mantis demon, Turtle Lord will never forgive you… ah… stop hitting… lighter…!!”
“Grandfather Bai Yi, I was wrong, truly wrong…”
The turtle demon retreated fully into his shell, but as Bai Yi was also a changgui, he had ways to deal with him. Streams of ghostly energy poured into the shell, making the turtle demon scream incessantly.
The double-headed wolf demon, watching this, instinctively shrank back, quietly moving behind Mo Fan without a sound.
Soon, Bai Yi returned, holding a battered turtle shell, and said to Mo Fan, “Though our life forms differ now, we’re still vulnerable to the power of our kind. Even as changgui, injuries manifest outwardly to some extent, unless we avoid appearing in a fixed form, which hides surface wounds.”
“I see. You’ve thought this through.”
Mo Fan nodded, realising Bai Yi’s beating of the turtle demon wasn’t just for the sake of it but also to clarify his doubts.
At his words, the turtle demon, already cowering in his shell, trembled even more…
“Is this guy going to be alright?” Mo Fan asked, looking at the tattered turtle demon changgui.
“Rest assured, Master. We ghosts aren’t as fragile as you think, and that changgui space is truly miraculous. Once he’s returned there, his injuries will heal in no time,” Bai Yi explained with a smile.
“Good!”
Mo Fan nodded, then looked at Hei Yi battling Bai Shuang in the sky and said gravely, “I called you out to protect Hei Yi. That female demon is no simple foe. She’s likely of an ancient demon bloodline, like you, and probably a first-generation one!”
“She’s also a first-generation demon cultivator?”
Bai Yi’s brows furrowed. He looked up at the battlefield in the sky, his expression growing solemn.
