The black-furred demon monkey frowned, carefully sensing the surroundings but finding no other demons. He sneered, “Playing tricks!”
“Today, no matter which demon you are, you must come back with me!”
With that, the black-furred demon monkey opened his mouth, spitting out a steel fork-shaped artifact. Demonic clouds swirled beneath his feet, and he lunged at Mo Fan.
“You’ve got cultivation, but not much brains.”
Seeing the monkey charge, Mo Fan showed no fear, merely shaking his head.
The next moment, his eyes revealed double pupils, followed by a burst of golden light!
Divine Ability: Bewildering Golden Light!
“Ah!”
In an instant, the black-furred demon monkey let out a scream, blood streaming from his eyes as he plummeted from the sky.
“Huh?”
Mo Fan was stunned. He hadn’t expected the monkey to be so frail, taken down by a single divine ability.
Without hesitation, he pointed at the monkey, and the golden rope at his waist shot out, swiftly binding the black-furred demon monkey tightly.
“Let me go!!”
The monkey roared, struggling fiercely, but it was futile; the more he struggled, the tighter the binds became.
Mo Fan chuckled, flew over, and kicked the monkey to the ground.
“Weren’t you all high and mighty just now?”
“Still barking?”
Mo Fan sneered, squatting down and delivering two slaps that silenced the monkey completely.
“I overestimated you. I was planning to poison you, but it seems unnecessary now!”
As Mo Fan spoke, he opened his mouth, and countless tiny black spiders crawled out from the dead leaves, flying into his mouth.
The black-furred demon monkey was terrified, realizing this demon had indeed set an ambush!
“Alright, time for me to question you.”
After retracting his Ten Thousand Poison Spider Gu, Mo Fan grinned, bloodlight flashing in his eyes as he whispered, “Look at me!”
“Look at you? You think I’m scared of you?”
“I am…”
Before the monkey could finish, his eyes turned vacant.
Under Mo Fan’s Charm Divine Ability, the black-furred demon monkey soon spilled all his secrets.
They were originally a group of unenlightened wild monkeys living in the peach forest.
One day, a monkey discovered a crack in the thousand-year-old peach tree, revealing a tree hole. Inside was a spring pool with what seemed like a door.
Monkeys feared water, so none dared enter.
After some time, a curious monkey jumped into the pool, opened the door, and vanished.
Days later, that monkey emerged, having gained sentience.
As it frequently entered and exited the pool, it gradually transformed into a demon, growing stronger.
The strengthened monkey gathered the monkey troupe, declared itself king, and retrieved golden liquid from the pool for the others to drink.
Thus, all the monkeys gained sentience.
The monkey king then revealed that beyond the pool’s door lay a terrifying space filled with corpses and blood-red soil.
Yet, that space also grew rare fruits; eating one granted sentience, and several could transform a monkey into a demon.
Some monkeys bravely entered, using the spiritual items to become demons.
But when the monkeys treated the space as a treasure ground, tragedy struck. Some began rotting and dying.
At first, they thought it was isolated, but more demons inexplicably died in that space, causing the troupe to flee in fear.
Only the monkey king remained unaffected, his cultivation soaring, so he sealed the space’s entrance and ordered his demons to collect nectar and fruit juice to pour into the pool. Periodically, he would retrieve spiritual items from the space to add to it.
Over time, the spring pool became the monkey wine pool.
The monkey clan grew stronger again, bolstered by the pool’s spiritual energy.
Their rise caught the attention of nearby demon mountains. A Demon King came to seize the peach forest but was gravely injured by the monkey king, who had been in seclusion.
Since then, no demon dared covet the peach forest.
The monkey king entered seclusion again, seemingly cultivating a powerful technique, but warned the clan to keep a low profile, avoid trouble, and not leave the forest.
Learning this, Mo Fan felt fortunate but also suspected treasures in that space, or why would the monkey king stay there?
The thought of treasures ignited Mo Fan’s excitement.
“Though my strength has grown, the gap between me and a Demon King is still vast. I need more preparations!”
Mo Fan decided to return to Black Wind Mountain to prepare, needing enough confidence to face the challenge.
The gap between Demon General and Demon King was immense.
He was frustrated that the black-furred monkey, a Demon General, had no divine abilities, cursing the monkey clan for wasting their treasure ground.
From the monkey, he learned their cultivation relied on the monkey wine, so few awakened divine abilities.
Knowing the monkey king was in critical seclusion and wouldn’t emerge easily, Mo Fan carried the demon monkey and rode clouds back to Black Wind Mountain.
But at the mountain’s base, something felt off.
Several spies from other mountains were boldly heading up.
Frowning, Mo Fan grabbed a lesser demon and demanded, “Which mountain’s spy are you, daring to trespass on my Black Wind Mountain? Tired of living?!”
The lesser demon, a sheep demon, trembled, collapsing when he saw Mo Fan.
“My goodness!”
“You’re… the Demon-Eating Black Wind Old Demon?”
“Hm?!”
Mo Fan’s face darkened, and the sheep demon quickly corrected, “Greetings, Toad Great King!!”
“Please spare me, Toad Great King!”
Mo Fan was speechless, shouting, “Answer my question, which mountain’s spy are you? Playing dumb?!”
“Uh… I’ll talk, I’ll talk… calm down, Toad Great King!”
“I’m from Black Cloud Mountain. I saw you once from afar during the Three Mountains Trial, so I recognized you. My master sent me to spy on Black Wind Mountain…
I came up because there’s a good show happening, and I didn’t want to miss it…” the sheep demon said, grimacing.
“A good show?”
Mo Fan frowned, enraged, “What good show?!”
“You don’t know, Toad Great King? Not long ago, a great demon and a human cultivator went up the mountain. They’ve already killed many demons… no, you said you’d spare me…”
Before the sheep demon finished, Mo Fan slapped him unconscious.
Surging with demonic energy, he carried the sheep and monkey demons, riding clouds to the mountaintop.
Along the way, he found corpses of Black Wind Mountain’s patrol demons, most sliced by sharp weapons.
Most had reverted to their true forms, with only a few retaining spirit forms, their demonic energy not yet fully dissipated.
“Whoever dares slaughter my Black Wind Mountain demons will die!!”
Mo Fan’s expression was icy, his heart boiling with killing intent!
