As the Black Wind Demon King’s words fell, Mo Fan immediately felt a hurricane rushing toward him. His entire body was lifted, soaring higher and higher.
Inside the sack space, the demons’ chaotic shouts filled the air until their eyes suddenly lit up, finally catching a glimpse of light in the pitch-black darkness.
The blinding radiance forced Mo Fan to squint instinctively. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself bathed in brightness.
He was now in the outside world!
Looking down, Mo Fan saw the ground several meters below. The strange wind abruptly vanished, and a sense of weightlessness hit him, causing him to plummet toward the earth.
“Boom!”
Mo Fan channeled his demonic aura, landing firmly on both feet. The immense impact cracked the ground beneath him.
Many powerful demon soldiers around him landed effortlessly, showing no signs of embarrassment.
However, most demons fell like raindrops, crashing heavily onto the ground.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…”
In an instant, Mo Fan’s ears were filled with the dull thuds of demons hitting the ground, like the beating of drums, soon followed by their curses and wails.
“Ouch! That hurt your Rabbit Lord to death!!”
The rabbit demon Red Eye rose from the ground, grumbling and clutching his backside, limping toward Mo Fan with a pained expression. “Lord, my butt’s numb. Can you use your demonic aura to heal it?”
“Oh? Stick out your butt. Let this Lord see how many kicks it’ll take to fix it completely.”
Mo Fan raised an eyebrow, grinning.
“…”
Red Eye was speechless, quickly hopping aside and muttering, “Never mind, my butt feels much better now.”
“Lord!!”
At that moment, the bull demon Dali and Pig Master approached, their gaits awkward, clearly still sore from the fall.
“You alright?” Mo Fan asked the two demons.
“No big deal, just a tumble. It’s nothing!”
Dali shook his head.
Mo Fan nodded, not pressing further. Demons were naturally tough; this pain was merely a minor injury.
Soon, the other three lesser demons arrived. To Mo Fan’s surprise, the sparrow Zha Zha was unharmed. He thought to himself, “Winged ones sure have a natural advantage!”
Once all the demons gathered, Mo Fan began surveying the surroundings. They seemed to be on a mountain peak, though it was spacious, more like a platform.
He looked up at the sky and saw a pig-headed, fur-covered demon hovering in midair, standing on a black cloud formed by thick demonic aura, giving off a sense of riding the clouds.
This was none other than the Black Wind Mountain Demon King!
As for the Demon King’s name, Mo Fan still didn’t know.
Once the demons below settled, the Black Wind Demon King’s appearance shifted, reverting to his spiritual form, hiding the ugly pig head.
To Mo Fan, though, this spiritual form seemed even uglier than the pig head…
“My children, below this mountain lies the Demon Spirit Valley!”
“This trial is the most important event for our Black Wind Mountain. You must not take it lightly. You must kill as many enemies as possible!!”
“This King warns you: once the trial begins, no demon may retreat. Any who show cowardice will face my wrath!”
“But rest assured, this King is reasonable. Perform well, and the rewards will be plentiful!”
“Enough talk. Before you enter the trial, this King will hold a feast to bolster your spirits!”
The Black Wind Demon King spoke, then clapped his hands. Over twenty beautiful demon maidens appeared, led by two human women, followed closely by the rabbit demon Bai Xue, who had been the most favored in the past half-year.
The demon maidens wore thin gauze dresses, through which the demons could faintly see their alluring figures, stirring the hearts of many.
The maidens began to dance gracefully, weaving through the demons, their every smile and glance captivating.
Even a demon like Red Eye was enthralled, and the bull demon Dali’s face flushed red, much to Mo Fan’s amusement.
At that moment, he saw the rabbit demon Bai Xue dancing toward him. As she drew near, she whispered, “Benefactor, I’ve heard this trial is extremely brutal. It’s a slaughter among the demons of three mountains. Based on past experiences, six out of ten may perish. If you get the chance, escape!
“Flee as far as you can, and don’t return to Black Wind Mountain!”
Mo Fan’s heart stirred. Looking at Bai Xue as she prepared to leave, he transmitted, “Thank you for your kindness, but you must be careful too, especially of the Fourth General, Poison Fang. The recent disappearances of demon soldiers on Black Wind Mountain are his doing. I fear he may have bigger plans!”
Bai Xue’s eyes flickered. She nodded at Mo Fan and quickly danced away.
Watching Bai Xue’s graceful figure, Mo Fan felt a tinge of regret. Such a beautiful demoness, claimed by that wild boar—it was a pity.
Her words touched him, but he didn’t take them too seriously.
Mo Fan had already learned about the Demon Spirit Valley trial from Dali and knew it involved demons from three mountains slaughtering each other.
While this was extremely dangerous for most demons, even life-threatening, for him, it was a rare opportunity!
The more demons, the better for his cultivation!
He planned to use this trial to break through to the peak of the demon soldier realm or even reach the demon general realm!
After their dance, the demon maidens produced heaps of food, mostly raw meat, which excited the demons across the mountain.
“My children, before the trial, feast to your fill!”
“Eat well to gain strength for the fight. Kill more demons from other mountains to bring glory to our Black Wind Mountain!”
“Eat!!”
With the Black Wind Demon King’s shout, the demons pounced on the food, many reverting to their true forms, tearing into the raw meat voraciously.
The scene sent a chill down Mo Fan’s spine.
Having spent much time on Black Wind Mountain, he was used to seeing demons in their spiritual forms, but this massive, ferocious feasting was a first for him.
“Indeed, no matter how they appear, demons remain untamed at heart…”
Mo Fan watched the demons devouring raw meat with a blank expression, feeling as though he wasn’t looking at demons but a pack of wild beasts!
Seeing Mo Fan unmoving, the six lesser demons beside him didn’t dare act either.
This caught the Black Wind Demon King’s eye in the sky, sparking some surprise.
“My King, that demon seems familiar.”
At that moment, two figures rose from the ground, joining the Black Wind Demon King, curiously observing Mo Fan, who stood out among the demons.
