Deep in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, at the peak of a majestic mountain.
Two figures stood at the edge of this mountain’s ten-thousand-zhang cliff with hands behind their backs. Both faced east.
If Mo Fan were here, he would surely recognise one of the figures as the silver-haired elder he had seen in the ruined temple market.
Of course, he also had another identity: one of the nine great Saint Kings of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the White Tiger Saint King!
At this moment, beside the White Tiger Saint King was a enchanting beautiful woman dressed in a white robe.
“Tu Shan Jing Ya, you are still so young. It seems time has never lingered on you.”
“Not like me. I’ve grown old to this extent!”
The White Tiger Saint King smiled bitterly. His gaze did not turn to the stunning woman beside him but looked into the distance. His profound eyes seemed to pierce through the rolling clouds.
“Brother Su, you are not old. In my heart, you will never grow old!”
“And don’t call me by my name. Call me Little Ya. That’s how you used to call me before.”
Unlike the White Tiger Saint King, Tu Shan Jing Ya’s eyes were full of this imposing man beside her. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at him, as if afraid he would disappear.
“Old is old. It’s been thousands of years. I have little lifespan left now. If I don’t take that step, I can only sit and perish in this White Saint Mountain.”
The White Tiger Saint King sighed, vaguely feeling a bit uneasy.
“Brother Su, you are not old. You just refuse to let go. She has been gone for a thousand years. Why are you still so persistent?”
“If you are willing to let go, how could that step hinder you?”
“You are the most remarkable demon cultivator of our demon race in a thousand years!”
Tu Shan Jing Ya became anxious. Her gaze towards the White Tiger Saint King held a trace of heartache. She could not help but bite her red lips lightly and say: “Brother Su, as long as you are willing, I can help you at any time. Help the demon race step out of these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!”
“For me, you would not hesitate to make enemies with Inverted Hanging Mountain?”
The White Tiger Saint King finally turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman beside him. A flash of complexity crossed his eyes.
“If you are willing, let alone Inverted Hanging Mountain, what if I make enemies with the entire world?!”
Tu Shan Jing Ya’s gaze burned as she stared at the White Tiger Saint King. She could not help but step forward, drawing even closer.
Looking at the woman’s fervent eyes before him, the White Tiger Saint King shifted his gaze away. At the same time, he stepped back and said solemnly: “I’m sorry. I can never forget her!
Moreover, I am a demon destined to die for the demon race. How can I deserve your affection?”
“Brother Su…”
Tu Shan Jing Ya murmured softly. Her eyes reddened. But soon, she took a deep breath. The pain and resentment on her face vanished instantly, replaced by indifference.
She turned away and, after a moment of silence, said: “The two great mountains in the Southern Border have already moved. This is your opportunity and also your calamity.
Before coming here, I divined with the art of heavenly secrets. Your fated chance is between the three mountains, by the Black Water River.”
At this point, Tu Shan Jing Ya’s eyes suddenly filled with some crystalline tears. Finally, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said solemnly: “Bai Xiao Su, the karma of the entire demon race is too heavy. It’s not something you, this white tiger, can bear alone. The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains don’t lack one demon Saint King. Why must you show off?
You should know that the Saint Pass is hard to cross, and the calamity fate is even harder. Isn’t it better to safely become a Demon Ancestor?!”
“Precisely because no other demon steps forward, I must stand up. Some things always need a demon to shoulder, right?
Since they are unwilling to bear it, then I will!”
“The demon race has now entered a dead end. I need to forge a path for the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Even if it’s blood-soaked, I will not hesitate!”
Bai Xiao Su held his head high with pride. He overlooked the clouds rising and falling at the horizon’s end. Gradually, a smile emerged on his face, as if he saw his old acquaintance dancing gracefully amid the clouds.
Extremely beautiful!
“Stubborn fool. When the time comes, I’ll collect your corpse for you!”
Tu Shan Jing Ya snorted coldly. Yet tears slid from the corners of her eyes.
Bai Xiao Su raised his hand. His fingertip touched a teardrop. It felt warm yet revealed a trace of coldness. He could not help but smile bitterly: “You underestimate me too much. You also underestimate what she left behind. As long as I step into the Saint Realm, who in this world can stop me?
If I really fall on the path, there’s no need for you to collect my corpse.”
As Bai Xiao Su’s words fell, Tu Shan Jing Ya had already vanished without a trace. This made him smile bitterly. Then he gazed east again. His eyes instantly turned cold.
…
In the Demon Spirit Valley.
Mo Fan sat quietly under the Six-Coloured Vermilion Fruit Tree. He used the big yellow ox as a cushion. In his hand appeared a golden armour.
This treasure armour was the Mountain Armour he had obtained from Black Bat!
All along, he had not had time to truly refine this treasure.
Now, since the monsters were nowhere to be seen, he naturally had time to refine this armour.
While refining the Mountain Armour, Mo Fan sensed a cold aura locking onto him deadly. This made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly. He understood it should be that so-called Second General Green Bat of Black Underworld Mountain.
Through his earlier probe of stealing fruits, he knew there were high-level figures from the three mountains on this Six-Coloured Vermilion Fruit Tree. So it was not hard to deduce that Green Bat was hiding among them.
As for Green Bat’s hostility, Mo Fan pretended not to notice.
He knew very well the other party would not act recklessly at this time. After all, there were still high-level figures from Black Wind Mountain above.
He was completely earning face for Black Wind Mountain. He refused to believe the Black Wind Monster King would not protect him.
In fact, it was much as Mo Fan had calculated. From the moment he took out the Mountain Armour, Black Underworld Mountain’s Second General Green Bat immediately understood everything.
His son was dead!
Killed by this so-called “Demon Eater” below!
This made Green Bat furious beyond measure. He wished he could fly down immediately and reduce him to ashes. But in front of the three Monster Kings, he still dared not act rashly. So he could only stare viciously at the guy below.
After Black Bat’s death, the demonic energy imprint left in the Mountain Armour naturally dissipated quickly. This made Mo Fan’s refining very smooth, without any obstruction. In just the time for an incense stick to burn, he successfully refined the Mountain Armour.
Looking at the Mountain Armour blooming with golden light before him, a flash of joy crossed Mo Fan’s eyes. With a thought, the armour flew towards him. It turned into a golden light and merged into his chest.
With a single thought from Mo Fan, a golden armour appeared on his body surface. It was the Mountain Armour!
Soon, the Mountain Armour hid again. Mo Fan opened his eyes and looked at the bustling monster horde in the distance. He could not help but roll his eyes.
“A bunch of cowards. This lord is one demon here, and you don’t dare to come forward?”
“You monsters like this, this great lord could eat one with each bite. Not enough for this great lord to eat!”
Mo Fan grinned and laughed. He truly mocked the entire group of monsters alone!
“Damn it!”
“How outrageous!”
“This guy is too arrogant?!”
“The Demon Eater is one thing, but damn it, he’s arrogant beyond bounds. I can’t stand it!!”
“Everyone, charge together. Destroy this guy!”
In an instant, over a dozen monsters were enraged. They charged towards Mo Fan one after another.
“Kill! Eliminate this Demon Eater first!!”
Soon, led by those dozen monsters, a chain reaction erupted. Countless monsters rushed to kill Mo Fan under the treasure tree.
“How am I so unlucky!!”
The yellow ox monster under Mo Fan saw this scene. Its eyes rolled back, and it was immediately scared unconscious.
