In the mountains, Lei Yuchuan raged helplessly, ultimately losing sight of those two figures, which drove the already furious him to spit out a large mouthful of blood in a fit of anger.
“You two bastards!”
“This young master will skin you alive one day!!”
Lei Yuchuan roared, lightning surging around him, transforming into electric snakes that ravaged the earth beyond recognition.
After a long while, Lei Yuchuan calmed himself, took several spiritual herbs from his pouch, and consumed them, gradually stabilising his injuries.
Half a day later, Lei Yuchuan rose from the ground, now looking even more dishevelled than before.
His eyes had turned a bruised purple, the eyeballs bulging dramatically, like two shiny orbs about to fall from their sockets.
His head was encrusted with a thick layer of blood scabs, wrapped in cloth strips, and his abdomen was bound tightly with several loops of fabric.
Even so, blood still seeped through.
In short, Lei Yuchuan was in immense pain, utterly devoid of any semblance of the young master of the Lei Yu family.
“Damn Black Wind Mountain! Damn toad demon!”
“This young master will not rest until Black Wind Mountain is obliterated!!”
Lei Yuchuan, in a fury, roared to the heavens, blaming everything on Black Wind Mountain and its new king, Laibao.
After venting, he calmed down again, riding clouds and mist towards the Black Water River.
Moments later, Lei Yuchuan arrived at the Black Water River. Just as he was about to enter the water, a massive whirlpool appeared on the surface.
A giant black fish emerged from the whirlpool, speaking in human tongue, “Where did this ugly monster come from? If you want to drown yourself, go somewhere else. Don’t pollute this general’s waters!”
“Damn it!”
“What did you say?!”
“Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
Lei Yuchuan was enraged, never expecting to be mocked by a black fish demon before even meeting the demon king.
“Just a mere demon general, are you?”
“What, looking for trouble? This general can oblige you!”
The black fish demon spoke, its massive tail lashing out, stirring up a wave of water that transformed into a blade of light, slashing towards Lei Yuchuan in the air.
“Damn it! A puny fish demon dares to be so arrogant with this young master!!”
Lei Yuchuan, furious, unleashed his “Wind-Thunder Sting” divine ability, engaging in the fiercest of battles!
Moments later, the waters were stained with blood. The black fish demon fled, gravely wounded, but Lei Yuchuan refused to let up, diving into the water to pursue.
No sooner had he entered the water than two massive creatures attacked him simultaneously!
Two more aquatic demon generals!
Lei Yuchuan’s pupils narrowed, and he had no choice but to fight with all his strength.
The battle lasted half a day, with six demon generals arriving in succession, all defeated by Lei Yuchuan.
Just as Lei Yuchuan, humiliated and enraged, prepared to annihilate the six demon generals, a terrifying pressure descended abruptly!
“What ugly demon dares to cause trouble in this king’s territory?!”
“Tired of living!”
As the pressure appeared, Lei Yuchuan was struck heavily, his entire body sent flying.
“Damn it!!”
“I am the young master of Wind-Thunder Mountain. How dare you treat me this way?!”
Seeing the demon king appear, Lei Yuchuan was both shocked and delighted, hastily invoking his background.
“Wind-Thunder Mountain? Never heard of it!”
“This king doesn’t care who you are. You dare challenge my authority, and you think you’ll walk away alive?!”
The demon king snorted coldly. Though unseen, Lei Yuchuan saw a giant hand formed of water surging towards him.
In a panic, he shouted again, “You may not know Wind-Thunder Mountain, but you must know the Lei Yu family!”
“I am Lei Yuchuan, young master of the Lei Yu family!”
“My father is the current head of the Lei Yu family, Lei Yushan!”
“My ancestor is Lei Yu Zidian, one of the three great demon ancestors of Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Domain!”
“You dare kill me?!”
At these words, the giant hand disintegrated instantly.
Seeing this, Lei Yuchuan let out a long breath of relief.
“The Lei Yu family and my Black Water River have always kept out of each other’s way. Why are you here disturbing this king’s cultivation?”
From the shadows, the demon king demanded in a deep voice.
“I didn’t come to disturb Your Majesty’s cultivation but to seek your aid. I want Your Majesty to help me destroy Black Wind Mountain!” Lei Yuchuan revealed his purpose.
“A mere Black Wind Mountain? With the power of your Lei Yu family, wouldn’t it be easy to crush them?” the demon king questioned.
“Black Wind Mountain is no threat, but with my own strength, it’s still a bit difficult. I don’t want my family to intervene, so I came to seek your aid. I hope Your Majesty will agree. In return, this young master will owe you a favour!” Lei Yuchuan said, frowning.
“A favour?”
“Hahaha… A mere demon general, even if you’re the young master of the Lei Yu family, what’s your favour worth? A few spirit stones? How dare you speak so boldly?”
“This king won’t help. Get lost!”
“You—!”
Lei Yuchuan was furious, but considering the demon king’s overwhelming strength, he swallowed his anger and left dejectedly.
He knew this Black Water River wasn’t home to just this one demon king.
If this one wouldn’t help, he’d find another!
He refused to believe that with the Lei Yu family’s name, no demon king would assist him.
But reality was harsh. Lei Yuchuan faced rejection after rejection. Some demon kings were in seclusion, others outright doubted his identity and refused him, nearly driving him to despair. In the end, he left the Black Water River cursing.
Unwilling to give up, Lei Yuchuan pinned his hopes on the other two demon mountains, as renowned as Black Wind Mountain.
…
Mo Fan left the Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Domain, riding clouds and mist, leading his demon cultivators back to the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
However, Mo Fan didn’t enter immediately. Instead, he circled the mountain’s base, found a large tree, and knocked on it.
Soon, a small bird flew down from the tree’s canopy. Enveloped in demonic aura, it transformed into a small demon with a human head and bird body.
“Under the Demon Network Camp, this humble demon pays respects to the Great King!”
The small demon bowed respectfully to Mo Fan, casting a fearful glance at the lizard-like monster beside him.
Mo Fan nodded and said, “No need to fear. Tell this king about the current situation at Black Wind Mountain!”
This bird demon was a member of Xiao Huang’s Demon Network, tasked with monitoring unusual activities at the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
Such small demons were numerous, scattered across Black Wind Mountain’s territory. Normally, they didn’t reveal their spiritual forms, appearing in their natural state to conceal their demonic identities.
Though Xiao Huang had only recently taken up the role, he had already made certain arrangements, handing over lists and plans to Mo Fan for review.
Thus, upon returning to Black Wind Mountain, Mo Fan immediately sought out this spot.
“Great King, half a month ago, a demon general did invade Black Wind Mountain. According to the brothers, Black Wind Mountain suffered significant losses…”
The small demon’s words made Mo Fan’s heart sink. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Where is that demon now?”
“Well… half a month ago, after that demon was repelled by Lady White, his whereabouts became unknown. Some Demon Network brothers spotted that evil demon by the Black Water River!” the small demon reported truthfully.
“Lady White?”
Mo Fan was momentarily stunned but quickly realised it likely referred to Bai Yaoyao, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed his worries were unfounded.
That so-called demon general was likely Lei Yuhai’s brother, Lei Yulie, but he had now been driven off!
With this in mind, Mo Fan casually rewarded the small demon with a low-grade spirit stone. The demon, clutching the stone, beamed with joy and thanked him repeatedly.
“Great King, you’re too kind!”
“Thank you for the reward, Great King!”
“Take care, Great King!”
“Come back soon, Great King…”
