Mo Fan did not linger long. After meeting the demons to show he was still alive, he hurriedly set off for the legendary holy land of the demon clan, Phoenix Cry Mountain.
Bai Yaoyao and Huo Ling had both planned to accompany him, but Mo Fan refused them.
Although Mo Fan anticipated this journey would not lead to a dead end, there were still some dangers involved.
For Mo Fan, the Lei Yu family might be quite wary, but for the other demons of Black Wind Mountain, they had far fewer reservations, and their methods would likely be much more aggressive.
Thus, Mo Fan could not take anyone with him this time, as they would only become a burden.
After instructing the demons to hide well, Mo Fan soared into the clouds and departed.
Regarding the safety of the demons, Mo Fan was not overly concerned. Now that Bai Yaoyao had reached the Demon King realm and wielded a powerful weapon like the Water God Seal, even a late-stage Demon King would not gain the upper hand against her.
As for Huo Ling, after receiving the demon core Mo Fan bestowed upon her, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Restoring her to the Demon King realm was only a matter of time.
Once Huo Ling broke through to the Demon King realm, Black Wind Mountain would boast two Demon Kings, making it no weaker than the former Three Mountains.
While passing over the Black Water River, Mo Fan deliberately increased his flight altitude, gliding above the sea of clouds to avoid attracting the attention of the water demon cultivators in the river.
With Black Wind Mountain and the Lei Yu family at odds like fire and water, Mo Fan naturally did not want to make more enemies at this time. It was best to avoid trouble where possible.
The Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory was vast. Even at Mo Fan’s speed, it took a full day of flying to barely enter its boundaries.
The moment he stepped into Phoenix Cry Mountain, the Lei Yu family was already aware of his presence.
“What a bold toad, daring to step into the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory!”
“I’ll go slaughter him myself to avenge Hai’er and Chuan’er!”
In the Wind Thunder Hall, Lei Yu Shan was furious.
He had just received news of Mo Fan entering Phoenix Cry Mountain, which enraged him beyond measure.
With that, he shook his body, and black battle armour instantly covered his form. He prepared to fly out of the hall.
“What are you doing?”
“Calm yourself!”
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice rang in Lei Yu Shan’s ears, carrying a hint of eeriness.
“Ancestor, the murderer of my two sons has appeared in the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory. I cannot stand by and watch him provoke our clan without acting!”
“Let me bring him back to Wind Thunder Mountain for you to deal with!”
Lei Yu Shan’s eyes were red, his teeth gritted as he spoke.
“Have you forgotten everything I told you yesterday?”
“Lei Yu Shan, as the head of the family, how can you be so impulsive?”
“If you insist on taking action, then leave Wind Thunder Mountain and declare to the world that you have no further ties with our Lei Yu family!
That way, even if you die, it won’t drag our family down!” the voice in the shadows said angrily.
“Ancestor, they were my own sons!”
“And your direct descendants!”
Lei Yu Shan’s face was filled with rage, his jaw clenched tightly. Though he spoke thus, he did not take a single step out of the hall.
“Big Brother, are you out of your mind? How dare you lose your temper with the Ancestor?”
“Big Brother, listen to the Ancestor’s arrangements!”
“Family Head, that toad demon has already entered Phoenix Cry Mountain’s territory. He’s just a mere Demon General. We have plenty of ways to kill him without risking all of Wind Thunder Mountain.”
At that moment, three figures hurriedly arrived, each trying to persuade him.
“The matter of Hai’er and Chuan’er, I will keep in mind. But if anyone dares to drag the Lei Yu family down because of this, I will be the first to destroy them!”
A bolt of lightning appeared nearby, gradually forming a humanoid shape, revealing Lei Yu Zi Dian’s figure.
His face was extremely grim, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
Seeing him, the demons all bowed respectfully. Even Lei Yu Shan quickly lowered his head, though his eyes revealed a trace of pain.
“Their vengeance, I will naturally find a way to settle. In the eight hundred years of our Lei Yu family’s history, we have never suffered such humiliation!
As for you, Lei Yu Shan, your task now is to produce more direct bloodline heirs for our Lei Yu family!”
Lei Yu Zi Dian said, turning to a silver-haired man beside him. “Bai Lang, your clan is closely related to ours. Select fifty beauties from your clan to enter Wind Thunder Mountain. Half will be offered to me, and the rest will go to the Family Head!”
At these words, the silver-haired man named Bai Lang clenched his fists briefly before replying calmly, “Bai Lang obeys!”
“That white tiger has said he despises those who bully the weak. So, none of you Demon Kings may act, or I will not spare you!”
Lei Yu Zi Dian warned again, then addressed one of the demons. “Lei Yu Feng, you greatly disappointed me during the last trip to Red Fire Peak. This time, you will redeem yourself by capturing that toad demon from Black Wind Mountain for me!
Remember, I want him alive!
And do not break the rules of the game!
This time, I want to see what that Bai Xiao Su has to say!”
With a cold snort, Lei Yu Zi Dian transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished.
“Yes, I obey the Ancestor’s command!”
Only then did Lei Yu Feng respond respectfully.
“Second Brother, I entrust the vengeance for your two nephews to you!” Lei Yu Shan turned, speaking gravely to Lei Yu Feng.
“Big Brother, rest assured. He’s just a late-stage Demon General toad demon!”
“No matter how strong he is, what does it matter?”
“Our Wind Thunder Mountain never lacks Demon Generals!”
“If ten aren’t enough, we’ll send a hundred! A thousand!”
“Let alone a mere Demon General, even a Demon King would have to bow before us!”
Lei Yu Feng grinned menacingly, a glint of killing intent in his eyes.
He had already learned from the Ancestor that this toad demon was the one who caused trouble at Red Fire Peak and stole his Demon King weapon!
Because of these incidents, he had become a laughingstock in Wind Thunder Mountain.
Though the demon cultivators dared not speak openly, they had long made this a topic of private gossip.
Thus, upon learning Mo Fan was the culprit, Lei Yu Feng’s hatred for him was no less than Lei Yu Shan’s.
This time, he was determined to wash away his shame!
After entering the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory, Mo Fan no longer hurried his flight. Instead, he chose to travel on foot, measuring the land with his steps.
This slowed his pace considerably, while also making him stand out like a torch in the eyes of the great demons of Phoenix Cry Mountain.
“This toad demon has some nerve!”
“Indeed. I heard he recently killed two direct descendants of the Lei Yu family, and yesterday, he even survived an attack from Lei Yu Zi Dian himself!”
“Really? This toad demon is that capable?”
“Come on, he’s just a Demon General. I don’t believe he could survive under Lei Yu Zi Dian’s hands!”
“Hey! Your information is outdated. I’ve got the latest news!”
“Spill it…”
“This toad demon is no ordinary figure. He has a protector!”
“What? A protector? Isn’t that something only top-tier prodigies have? Is this toad really that impressive? But what kind of protector could save him from Lei Yu Zi Dian’s attack?”
“You’ll be shocked when you hear this, but his protector is the White Tiger Saint King!”
“What?!”
“Don’t believe it? Just yesterday, my partner on duty at Phoenix Cry Mountain saw the White Tiger Saint King enter the Fire Phoenix Hall. They say his demonic aura was so terrifying that it knocked out several great demons on the spot, including some Demon Kings!”
“That’s incredible…”
Due to Mo Fan’s arrival, the entire Phoenix Cry Mountain demon territory was focused on him, causing a massive stir.
Meanwhile, the instigator of all this was now blocked by a group of demon cultivators.
“Are you the toad demon from Black Wind Mountain?”
The leading demon cultivator had a stern face, with a black dog’s head atop his neck, staring at Mo Fan with blue-glowing eyes.
“Are you sent by the Lei Yu family?”
Mo Fan raised an eyebrow. He had expected the Lei Yu family to send Demon Generals after him, but he hadn’t anticipated thirteen at once!
They really thought highly of him!
“Kill!”
Upon hearing Mo Fan’s question, the dog demon confirmed his identity. Without another word, he waved his hand, and the dozen or so Demon Generals behind him lunged at Mo Fan!
