At this moment, Niu Xiaosheng’s expression had returned to calm. A smile reappeared on his face as he spoke in a gentle tone.
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. Seeing the fellow suddenly become so polite, Mo Fan could not help but frown slightly. Then he replied calmly, “I have heard of you.”
“Oh?”
Niu Xiaosheng showed a trace of surprise on his face. Then, as if he understood something, he smiled and said, “It seems the rumours are true. The white-robed brother and sister really are on your Black Wind Mountain?”
“What exactly brings you here, fellow Daoist?”
When Niu Xiaosheng mentioned the white-robed brother and sister, Mo Fan’s expression softened a little. He spoke directly, “If you have come to avenge that demon ancestor, then make your move!”
“No, no, no, please do not misunderstand!
Although I did come to investigate certain matters, my main purpose is to meet the white-robed brother and sister.
As for revenge, that is my father’s business. What does it have to do with me, Niu Xiaosheng?”
Niu Xiaosheng’s words immediately made Mo Fan show a strange expression.
He actually said it had nothing to do with him?
Was this fellow truly the Holy Son of Giant Spirit Mountain?
Although Mo Fan was very surprised that Niu Xiaosheng would say such a thing, he sensed that the other party really bore no malice. So he immediately called out, “Black Robe, this fellow says he is your friend?”
“He really is my brother’s friend.”
A calm voice sounded beside Mo Fan. Immediately afterwards, a white figure appeared abruptly next to him.
“Black Robe little sister, you really are here!”
Niu Xiaosheng’s eyes lit up at once. He enthusiastically waved towards Black Robe.
However, the ancestral realm great demon of the ox demon clan behind Niu Xiaosheng frowned slightly. He timely reminded, “Holy Son, we came here with a mission!”
“I know. I will naturally complete the mission. But right now, I want to have a good chat with my friend!”
After saying this, Niu Xiaosheng flew straight towards Mo Fan’s location.
“Holy Son, you must not!”
The group of great demons were shocked when they saw this. They instinctively wanted to follow.
“None of you follow me! I am not going to fight. There is no need to stick to me like a tail. It is so annoying!”
Niu Xiaosheng turned his head back and spoke with a look of disdain. This immediately made the six great demons’ faces twitch.
Still, they remained uneasy. After all, according to intelligence, that old ancestor of Giant Spirit Mountain had fallen here. They could not afford to be careless.
“Let it be. Let the Holy Son go!”
“With this ancestor here, the Holy Son will be fine!”
At the critical moment, the ancestral realm great demon spoke up. Only then did the other demons feel slightly reassured. They did not stubbornly follow anymore, preserving a bit of face.
When Mo Fan saw this scene, he grew even more curious about this Niu Xiaosheng fellow.
He could tell that this guy did not seem like an evil demon. Moreover, he was quite courteous. He knew that bringing those six great demons along might cause misunderstandings, which was why this happened.
But soon, Mo Fan frowned.
Because he noticed that the fellow completely ignored him. With an excited face, Niu Xiaosheng flew right up to Black Robe and chuckled, “Black Robe little sister, it has been so long. How have you been these years?”
“…”
Looking at Niu Xiaosheng’s fawning appearance, Mo Fan finally understood something. He immediately curled his lip.
Good grief, this guy came to Black Wind Mountain to chase after a girl?
“I have been fine. You… stay away from me!”
Black Robe frowned slightly as she looked at the overly excited Niu Xiaosheng.
“Ah?”
Niu Xiaosheng was stunned by her sudden words. Then he scratched his head and gave a silly smile, “I got too excited and scared you.”
As he spoke, he truly stepped back a little. Then he continued, “You know what? When I heard that you were targeted by that group of porcupine demons, I was extremely anxious. If not for the strict rules between the two great demon domains, I would have come out of seclusion long ago to save you!”
“It is fine. I am living very well now.”
Black Robe shook her head. At the same time, she spoke with some emotion, “Speaking of which, it is all thanks to the great king. Without his help, my brother and I would have found it very difficult to escape the control of the Lei Yu family. It is just a pity about my brother…”
“What happened to Brother White Robe?”
When Niu Xiaosheng heard this, his eyes widened. Then he said sadly, “Could it be that Brother White Robe has died?”
“You are the one who died!”
Black Robe immediately glared at Niu Xiaosheng in anger. But soon she calmed down again and gave a bitter smile, “However, your guess is not entirely wrong. My brother really did die once…”
Although Niu Xiaosheng was a bit confused, he still rolled up his sleeves in righteous indignation and said in a deep voice, “Tell me, who exactly killed Brother White Robe? I will make that fellow wish for death but be unable to die!!”
“…”
Mo Fan, standing to the side, immediately felt speechless. He glanced at Black Robe, who looked somewhat self-reproachful, then sighed and spoke up, “Brother Niu Xiaosheng, right?”
Niu Xiaosheng turned to look at Mo Fan, not understanding what he wanted to say.
“There are many things you do not know the full story of, so do not speak carelessly. Otherwise, you will only hurt others.” Mo Fan shrugged.
“What do you mean?” Niu Xiaosheng frowned.
“Forget it. You two should just meet each other.”
Mo Fan shook his head. He was too lazy to explain. He pointed at his own brow.
In an instant, golden light bloomed from his brow. A tiger stripe mark appeared. A mass of black ghostly mist immediately flew out from his brow.
The black mist contracted. Soon it transformed into a figure dressed in black robes.
“Brother Niu, long time no see!”
Within the faint ghostly mist, White Robe looked at Niu Xiaosheng with a calm smile.
Ever since Mo Fan returned from White Saint Mountain, White Robe had spent most of his time inside Mo Fan’s Chang Ghost Space. The reason was simple. He wanted to cultivate by borrowing the Chang Ghost Space.
Mo Fan naturally valued White Robe greatly.
To Mo Fan, White Robe was not like the other chang ghosts who had a master-servant relationship.
Leaving aside the rules imposed by the divine ability For the Tiger to Act as Chang, White Robe was not only Black Robe’s older brother but also an extremely wise demonic genius. When it came to wisdom, Mo Fan rarely admired any demon. White Robe was definitely one of them!
Therefore, Mo Fan truly treated White Robe as his own brother.
After his divine ability advanced, the first thing Mo Fan thought of upon returning to Black Wind Mountain was to help White Robe increase his strength. He even gave White Robe permission to devour some of the chang ghosts he had previously transformed.
Those chang ghosts were not very strong. Almost all had once been Mo Fan’s enemies. Now that Mo Fan’s cultivation had improved, these chang ghosts provided very limited help to him. Instead, they merely occupied space in the Chang Ghost Space. So Mo Fan allowed White Robe to devour them all to enhance his own cultivation.
Due to the restrictions of the For the Tiger to Act as Chang divine ability, chang ghosts normally could not devour each other. Otherwise, they would suffer backlash from the divine ability’s rules. But if the divine ability’s master permitted it, that was different.
Now, with Mo Fan’s tacit approval, White Robe had devoured who knows how many chang ghosts. His cultivation had already reached the mid ghost king realm!
Although he was still far from the ghost ancestor level, this was already enough to make the three great ghost ancestors envious.
After all, among all the chang ghosts, White Robe was the only one who received such重视 from Mo Fan. It would be hard for the other chang ghosts not to feel envious.
At the same time as their envy, it also created a sense of crisis among the powerful chang ghosts. They feared that one day they too might be devoured by White Robe. So in normal times within the Chang Ghost Space, they were all very friendly towards White Robe.
Even the three great ghost ancestors took great care of White Robe.
“Brother White Robe… what is this about you?”
Looking at White Robe before him, Niu Xiaosheng’s eyes immediately reddened. Because he could not sense any life aura from White Robe!
There was only spiritual fluctuation and ghostly energy, without the slightest trace of vitality!
“I am fine. It is only my physical body that died. This current state of mine is actually quite good!”
White Robe gave a slight smile. Then he turned his head to look at Black Robe, who had her head slightly lowered. A gentle look flowed from his eyes.
“As long as Black Robe is safe, everything is well!”
