After receiving Ao Gu’s warning, although all the demons felt dissatisfied, none of them caused any further trouble.
Fortunately, the courtyard was very large, with many side rooms, more than enough for all the demons to rest.
However, the demons from Black Wind Mountain were used to living in caves. Staying in buildings like those of the human race still felt somewhat uncomfortable to them. They always thought it was not safe enough.
As soon as night fell, Mo Fan woke from his meditation. He looked around and saw that all the demons were quietly cultivating, so he went out of the room alone.
“Great King!”
Outside the door, Bai Yi, dressed in black clothes, had already been waiting for a long time.
Mo Fan looked up at the bright moon in the sky and then asked, “Did you sense it?”
“Great King, there are many killings in this place, and the resentment is extremely heavy. I can even vaguely hear the roars of wandering souls. Logically, there should be ghosts everywhere, but strangely, I have not found any trace of them!” Bai Yi said with a frown.
“Oh? Is that really the case?”
A flash of surprise passed through Mo Fan’s eyes.
From the moment he stepped into Moon-Gazing Valley and saw the hellish scene here, he knew this place must have many wandering souls. It was a rare treasure land for ghost cultivators.
During the day, with Ao Gu accompanying him and so many demons around, it was not convenient to act.
So he chose to do it at night.
But Bai Yi’s words puzzled Mo Fan. He immediately leaped up, flew to the roof of the courtyard, and looked directly towards the square. Golden light suddenly bloomed between his brows, and tiger stripes instantly appeared!
In an instant, the world in Mo Fan’s eyes turned grey-white!
But right after, Mo Fan was shocked. What he saw was that there really was not a single wandering soul in sight!
“So many humans were killed during the day, yet now there is not one wandering soul to be found. This is simply not normal!”
Mo Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, “It seems there is something very strange about Moon-Gazing Valley!”
“Great King, did you discover anything?” Bai Yi came to Mo Fan’s side and could not help asking.
Mo Fan shook his head. Then, from the tiger stripes between his brows, two masses of ghost mist suddenly flew out and instantly transformed into two figures.
The Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor and the Yellow Spring Ghost Ancestor both bowed respectfully to Mo Fan at the same time.
“No need for formalities. You two, take a look and find out where all the wandering souls in this valley have gone.”
Mo Fan immediately gave the order.
Although he could use his divine ability to see the world of wandering souls, in this aspect he was still not as good as these two ghost ancestors.
Upon hearing this, the two ghost ancestors nodded at once. They then directly released their dense ghost sense, which drifted far away.
Under the divine ability state, Mo Fan could easily see these so-called ghost senses. They were pitch-black misty masses that looked like ghost fog.
But when he dispelled the divine ability, his naked eyes could not see them at all. He only felt waves of chilly wind blowing past him.
Although he found it amazing, Mo Fan still warned them, “Be careful. Try to avoid the grand hall right in the middle ahead. There is a Demon Saint King inside!”
He did not want to alert that one just to investigate some wandering souls.
“Master, rest assured. What we are using is ghost sense power. Only wandering souls and ghost cultivators can detect it!”
“That Demon Saint King is, after all, a living being of the yang world. How could he possibly sense our ghost sense power?”
The Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor said with a smile. Even so, he and the Yellow Spring Ghost Ancestor still carefully controlled their ghost energy to bypass the grand hall, not daring to get close.
Seeing this, Mo Fan nodded slightly. No matter what, it was best not to provoke that Heavenly Wolf Saint King.
What Mo Fan did not know was that the moment he released these two ghost ancestors, a burly figure dressed in snow-white robes inside the Heavenly Wolf Hall immediately opened his eyes.
“Interesting!”
“It seems that for this Saint King’s birthday this time, all sorts of demons and ghosts have come!”
The burly figure grinned. Then his body flashed and disappeared from the hall.
When the burly figure reappeared, he was already above the Heavenly Wolf Hall. He slightly closed his eyes and instantly sensed two strands of extreme yin power bypassing his Heavenly Wolf Hall as they probed into the valley.
“Humph!”
He opened his eyes and let out a light snort. The two strands of power invisible to the naked eye instantly shattered!
At the same moment, both ghost ancestors beside Mo Fan let out muffled groans. Their expressions changed at once!
“Not good!”
“Master, we have been exposed!”
The two ghost ancestors spoke together, startling Mo Fan. He had not expected to be caught so quickly. Without time to scold them, he immediately put both ghost ancestors back into the Chang Ghost Space and looked towards the Heavenly Wolf Hall.
Sure enough, at some point, a figure had appeared above the Heavenly Wolf Hall!
That figure was completely shrouded in black demonic energy. Even Mo Fan could not see his true appearance.
“Could this be the Heavenly Wolf Saint King?”
Mo Fan’s pupils shrank slightly, but he was not too worried. Right now, he and Bai Yi were not the only ones on the roofs. In the nearby courtyards, many great demons were also standing on roofs. They were probably all trying to take advantage of the night to investigate Moon-Gazing Valley.
So, as long as it was not certain that the Heavenly Wolf Saint King knew it was him, Mo Fan had nothing to fear.
Soon, a terrifying divine sense swept across the courtyard where Mo Fan was, passing over in an instant!
The powerful divine sense made all the great demons in the nearby courtyards change colour. They all immediately looked towards the figure above the Heavenly Wolf Hall, their pupils shrinking!
“Rumble—”
But at that moment, a huge booming sound suddenly came from above Moon-Gazing Valley, instantly drawing the attention of all the demons.
Mo Fan could not help looking up, but what he saw next shocked him greatly.
A gigantic pillar that reached the heavens tore through the night sky and came crashing down!
When Mo Fan focused his gaze, he realised this was no pillar at all.
It was clearly an enormous beast’s foot!
The giant foot covered the sky and blocked out the sun, completely overshadowing the night sky above the entire Moon-Gazing Valley, as if it intended to flatten the whole place with one step!
“What terrifying pressure!!”
Several figures instantly appeared beside Mo Fan. They were Bai Lu, Zi Lan, and Ju Mo, the three demon ancestors.
But right now, their faces all looked rather ugly.
“Such an enormous dharma body. This must be a Demon Saint King making a move!” Even the Ju Mo Demon Ancestor could not help gasping.
Upon hearing this, all the demons turned pale with fright.
A Demon Saint King was attacking Moon-Gazing Valley at night?
A trace of astonishment appeared in Mo Fan’s eyes. Then he saw the figure above the Heavenly Wolf Hall soar into the sky, while a deep voice echoed throughout the entire Moon-Gazing Valley.
“Old turtle, have you eaten the guts of a leopard? You dare try to destroy this Emperor’s Moon-Gazing Valley?!”
“Di Shi Tian, do you still have the face to say that?”
“This Saint King kindly sent my subordinate demon ancestors to congratulate you on your birthday, yet you let your subordinates slaughter the demon ancestor of my Spirit Stream Gorge. You must give this Saint King an explanation for this!”
An indifferent voice came from the night sky, shaking the entire Moon-Gazing Valley until it buzzed. All the demons inside were filled with fear.
This was the might of a Demon Saint King!
“You want an explanation?”
“This Emperor will give you one!”
Di Shi Tian snorted coldly. He directly rose to meet the sky-supporting giant turtle foot. Then Mo Fan saw a brilliant pillar of light burst from Di Shi Tian’s body.
Wherever the pillar of light passed, the sky-supporting giant foot instantly collapsed and turned into specks of starlight that vanished into the night sky.
In that moment, the entire night sky seemed to turn into daylight. Di Shi Tian’s figure also disappeared from the demons’ sight.
When the incandescent light faded, the night sky returned to darkness once more.
“Is this what a Demon Saint King is like?”
“To change the weather in an instant! Truly terrifying!”
