Mo Fan’s words left Wolf Fierce utterly dumbfounded.
“No… how can you be like this… that’s not what He Feifei told me!”
“You… don’t you have any demon honour?!”
Wolf Fierce was furious, his eyes reddening, filled with a helpless, tearless frustration.
When he returned to Black Wind Mountain and caused a ruckus, he was outwitted by the monkey clan. Later, hearing that Lei Yuchuan had attacked, knowing the might of the Lei Yu family, he unhesitatingly chose to help Black Wind Mountain’s demons overcome the crisis.
So, alongside He Feifei, he fought to suppress Lei Yuchuan, only to end up gravely injured.
Fortunately, another powerhouse on Black Wind Mountain drove Lei Yuchuan away, leaving Wolf Fierce puzzled but hopeful that he wouldn’t have to stay in the dark dungeon any longer.
Yet, the outcome was far from what he expected. He Feifei, still friendly, had him locked in the dungeon, saying the matter had to be decided by the new king, Laibao.
Though frustrated, Wolf Fierce found his second stint in the dungeon much better than the first.
Not only was there a bed in the cell, but he was also served varied gourmet meals daily, and even the small demon guarding the dungeon came to massage his legs.
But as pleasant as dungeon life was, Wolf Fierce yearned for the outside world!
Thankfully, He Feifei promised he wouldn’t have to wait long. Yet, when the so-called new king of Black Wind Mountain finally arrived, it turned out to be the sneaky scoundrel who had ambushed him before. How could Wolf Fierce tolerate this?
Thus, in a few heated exchanges, the situation escalated to this point.
“Oh, you said He Feifei told you, but this king never agreed!”
Mo Fan chuckled, then added, “Besides, what need do we demon cultivators have for honour? That’s something for humans!”
“Actually, it’s not hard for this king to release you. Pledge your loyalty to me, serve me faithfully, and that’s it!”
“How about it?”
“If you agree, this king will free you now and even give you a healing pill!”
Mo Fan looked at Wolf Fierce with a sly smile, his mind calculating rapidly.
In Mo Fan’s view, from the moment Wolf Fierce returned to Black Wind Mountain, he was already one of its demons. But without truly subduing this wolf demon, his rebellious nature might cause trouble later.
As Mo Fan worked to reform Black Wind Mountain’s culture and establish a new demon order, he didn’t want a disobedient demon under his command.
“Pah!”
“With my temper!”
“A mere toad demon dares to dream of taming me? You unlucky wretch, if you’ve got the guts, let me out, and we’ll have a real fight!”
Wolf Fierce cursed, provoked by Mo Fan’s words. But as soon as he spoke, he noticed the hostile glares from Mo Fan’s surrounding demons and added, “Hey, toad demon, if you’re bold enough, let me out. Let’s have a fair, one-on-one duel like true demon men!”
“If you defeat me, I, Wolf Fierce, will swear loyalty to you as my king!”
Wolf Fierce grinned menacingly, then snorted, “But if you can’t beat me, what then?!”
Hearing this, Mo Fan’s lips curved into a slight smile, and he grinned, “If this king loses, you can take over as the Great King of Black Wind Mountain!”
“Hahaha, good! I like a straightforward demon man like you, not like those cowardly chickens who hem and haw!”
Wolf Fierce laughed, his eyes flashing with a hint of madness and bloodlust.
“Great King, this demon is formidable. You…” Red Eyes began, concerned.
“What, you think this king will lose?”
Mo Fan cut Red Eyes off, smiling, “You know nothing of this king’s strength!”
“Just watch!”
“Oh, and tell Zhazha to spread the word about my duel with Wolf Fierce. Let more demons of Black Wind Mountain know!” Mo Fan added, his eyes gleaming.
“Got it!”
Red Eyes nodded, his face lighting up with excitement. Knowing Mo Fan well, he was certain the Great King would win this battle!
Wolf Fierce snorted coldly, a trace of wariness toward Mo Fan creeping into his heart.
Though he appeared rough, his mind was sharp!
How could he not see Mo Fan’s intentions?
But that was his nature. Even if he lost, he wanted to lose openly and honourably!
Besides, he didn’t think he could go far if he left Black Wind Mountain. With his current temperament, he’d likely clash with great demons on other mountains soon enough.
More importantly, having spent most of his life at Black Wind Mountain, leaving it now felt reluctant.
Humans have their attachments, and demons naturally have their sentiments.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
“Hey! What’s this? Treating me like air?!”
“I’m a demon general of the Lei Yu family from Wind-Thunder Mountain!”
“You can’t just keep me locked up here! I’m telling you, when my young master arrives, you’re all dead!!”
In the nearby cell, the demon general from the Lei Yu family was furious. He realised these demons were treating him like he didn’t exist, chatting and laughing without regard for his feelings.
Who was he?
He was a demon general of the Lei Yu family!
And the bodyguard of the family’s recognised heir!
Naturally, his standards were high, and like his master, he looked down on other demon cultivators!
Mo Fan ignored him, treating his words like a passing breeze. After having Wolf Fierce’s cell opened, he led the demons and Wolf Fierce out of the dungeon without sparing the Lei Yu guard another glance.
“Damn it!!”
“These backwater demons have no manners. Don’t they know who I am?!”
“I’m telling you, you’re all doomed!!”
The Lei Yu guard’s angry shouts echoed in the empty dungeon.
The news of Mo Fan’s duel with Wolf Fierce spread quickly through Zhazha’s flight team, soon reaching all the demons of Black Wind Mountain.
In no time, a large number of small demons headed to Flat Top Peak.
As Flat Top Peak was spacious enough, it became the chosen battleground for Mo Fan and Wolf Fierce.
“You know that even without this, he’d still pledge loyalty to you. Why go through all this?” Bai Yaoyao, dressed in a flowing white skirt, spoke calmly at the peak of Black Wind Mountain.
“It’s different. He might submit due to circumstances, but with this wolf demon’s prideful nature, he’d likely disobey my orders in the future, becoming an unstable piece on the board!” Mo Fan smiled.
“You mean this wolf demon only respects strength?” Bai Yaoyao asked, her expression odd.
“You could say that!”
Mo Fan grinned, then asked seriously, “With your current strength, can you handle a mid-level Demon King?”
“I can only stall!”
Bai Yaoyao paused for a moment before explaining, “Demon Kings have nearly all passed the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, forming demon cores and forging king-grade demon weapons. Their power far surpasses that of Demon Generals. Even with my mother’s Water God Seal, I can’t fully defeat a mid-level Demon King.”
“Stalling is already impressive. With the fire spirit I recently subdued, it shouldn’t be hard for you two to defeat a great demon.”
Mo Fan thought for a moment, then asked, “Is Lei Yuchuan strong?”
“Very strong! His combat power is almost on par with a Demon King!”
“But what concerns me most isn’t his strength, but his background!”
“The Lei Yu family isn’t something we can contend with right now!” Bai Yaoyao said gravely.
“I understand. Those who’ve been watching from the sidelines might be waiting to see if our Black Wind Mountain can withstand this battle!”
“But this battle, Black Wind Mountain must win, and will win!”
“If we don’t, we’ll be surrounded by enemies…”
