The mere mention of a feast instantly made all the demons forget their earlier fears.
For these minor demons, a feast was the only event that could truly excite them.
Let alone a three-day flowing feast.
This was truly a generous reward.
Mo Fan didn’t disappoint the demons, handing over much of the meat he had previously collected to the kitchen camp for preparation. He even brought out some of his treasured fine wines before leading his trusted followers back to Spring Pool Cave.
Nowadays, Spring Pool Cave was practically considered the demon king’s residence on Black Wind Mountain.
In contrast, the former demon king Zhu Xianfeng’s cave had been repurposed as barracks for the combat camp, specifically for the mountain’s combat minor demons.
Based on the size of that cave, Mo Fan estimated it could house over five hundred demons.
For now, that was more than sufficient, though it could be expanded later if the demon population grew.
Upon returning to Spring Pool Cave, Mo Fan opened his mouth and expelled nearly a hundred corpses.
These included both human cultivators and demon cultivators, collected earlier in Demon Spirit Valley, originally intended to occasionally improve the demons’ meals. Now, they were perfect for feeding the pig.
“Mister Pig, these corpses are yours. They should help replenish the blood crystal energy you consumed.”
Mo Fan spoke with a smile, and after a brief moment of surprise, Mister Pig’s eyes lit up brightly.
“Thank you, My King!”
Mister Pig clasped his hands, then activated his divine ability. His entire head transformed into a pig’s head, instantly doubling in size compared to his body!
The demons watched as he opened his mouth and sucked fiercely, causing the pile of corpses, stacked like a small hill, to vanish into his maw.
Mister Pig’s stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, showing no reaction no matter how many corpses he devoured.
Yet Mo Fan noticed that Mister Pig’s aura was growing at an extremely slow pace, while his blood energy was even more terrifying, as if it had turned into a blood-red flame enveloping his entire body.
“It seems this Corpse Devouring ability is far more powerful than I thought. Not only can it condense blood crystals, but it can also boost one’s cultivation by harnessing the blood energy in those corpses…”
Mo Fan murmured, gaining a deeper understanding of Mister Pig’s divine ability.
The Corpse Devouring ability was remarkably similar to his Heaven-Devouring ability, except one devoured living beings and the other corpses.
Though different, both seemed capable of enhancing one’s cultivation.
Nearly a hundred corpses were devoured by Mister Pig in just a quarter of an hour.
His corpse-eating ability sent chills through the other demons…
Next, Mo Fan held an urgent meeting with his trusted demon soldiers, focusing primarily on the recent attack.
To Mo Fan, this assault served as a wake-up call, so he decided to reorganise the patrol teams.
Each team would not only include land-based demons but must also have one flying demon and one burrowing demon.
Only this way, when facing enemies, could they avoid complete annihilation. Some patrol demons could escape immediately to report the attack to Black Wind Mountain’s great demons for decision-making, preventing a surprise assault.
“By the way, what about the two demons I brought back earlier?” Mo Fan suddenly recalled something and asked.
After returning from the Broken Temple Market, he had captured two demons.
One was a goat demon spy from Black Cloud Mountain.
The other was one of the monkey clan’s great demon generals.
He had intended to interrogate them, but time constraints and the sudden attack by Venomous Fang’s group upon his return to Black Wind Mountain had left him no chance.
Now that he remembered, he brought it up.
“My King, I’ve kept those two demons locked up. Should I bring them here?”
He Feifei looked at Mo Fan.
“Yes, bring them both!” Mo Fan nodded.
He Feifei immediately ordered the demon soldiers beside him to fetch the two.
Soon, the goat demon and the monkey demon general were brought in.
After being subdued by Mo Fan, their demonic powers had been brutally sealed. Without demonic energy or power, they were like ordinary mortals and were quickly escorted by two demon soldiers.
“Spare me, Great King of Black Wind!!”
The moment the goat demon saw Mo Fan and the surrounding demons, all exuding formidable auras, it was so terrified that it dropped to its knees with a thud, begging repeatedly.
“Great King of Black Wind?”
“How dare you! A mere demon general, and you call yourself a great king?!”
The monkey demon general scoffed, glaring at Mo Fan threateningly, “Kid, I advise you to release me quickly, or when my clan’s great king emerges from seclusion, he’ll eat you first!”
“Kneel!!”
Before the monkey demon general could finish, Red Eyes swept his leg, forcing him to his knees.
“You rabbit demon, you’re courting death!”
The monkey demon general was furious, glaring darkly at Red Eyes.
“Enough!”
“You’re already captured, and you still dare to talk tough?”
“Careful, or Rabbit Lord here might just swallow you alive if I’m in a bad mood!”
Red Eyes sneered, never one to lose in a war of words.
“Rest assured, I won’t wait for your great king to emerge from seclusion. I’ll go find him myself and see if he’s as powerful as you claim.”
Mo Fan grinned, a cold glint flashing across his lips.
“You…!”
The monkey demon was shocked but quickly regained composure, sneering, “What an arrogant demon general. You dare look down on my great king?
Don’t end up dead at his hands!”
“I’ll take your auspicious words. I’m not ready to die yet, so I won’t go down easily.”
Mo Fan smiled, his eyes gleaming as he continued, “I’m not looking down on your great king. I just think a king hiding in some space, even if at the demon king level, how much combat strength could he have?”
“Killing you would be more than enough!”
The monkey demon general sneered, unconvinced that Mo Fan could defeat his great king!
“Hey! How does Rabbit Lord here keep losing my temper?!”
Seeing the monkey demon, a prisoner, still acting unrepentant, Red Eyes was both angered and amused, ready to act, but Mo Fan stopped him.
“Since you don’t believe I can defeat your great king, how about a bet?” Mo Fan smiled.
The monkey demon general didn’t agree immediately, instead eyeing Mo Fan warily.
“What, scared to bet?”
“What exactly do you want?!”
“I said, just a bet. You’re already my prisoner, your life is mine. I could kill you anytime, so what do you have to lose?” Mo Fan chuckled lightly.
“Let’s bet on my fight with your great king. If I win, you follow me forever!”
The monkey demon general fell silent for a moment, then snorted, “And if you lose?”
“If I lose, I’ll likely be killed by your great king. But I can still promise to release you. All the demons around me are my trusted followers, and they can witness this bet!” Mo Fan smiled.
“Fine, I agree!”
…
In a dim cave, a pool of blood slowly writhed, gradually forming the shape of a young man in a blood-red robe.
“I’m not dead?”
The blood-robed youth was overjoyed, muttering to himself, “Did the Substitution ability work?”
“Hahaha… the heavens haven’t forsaken me… ah… it hurts, what’s happening?!”
As the blood-robed youth laughed wildly, he suddenly let out a scream, clutching his head with both hands and collapsing on the spot.
“You damned thing, it’s you?!”
