The Ancestor Realm great demon is almost the ceiling of the demon race’s cultivation!
Apart from those few terrifying existences known as “Holy Kings,” the strongest combat power among the demon race consists of those Demon Ancestors.
Yet now, such a Demon Ancestor had been driven away by the demon cultivators of the Black Water River!
This was truly something Mo Fan had not anticipated.
“When did the water demons in this Black Water River become so powerful?
Could there also be an Ancestor Realm great demon among them?!”
Mo Fan frowned, his heart growing wary of the water demons of the Black Water River.
It could not be helped; anyone with such a powerful group of neighbors would find it hard to sleep soundly.
Moreover, strictly speaking, he had once had some conflicts with these water demons of the Black Water River.
Back then, when he was being chased by human sword cultivators, to shake them off, he deliberately dove into the Black Water River and orchestrated a scheme to use demons to kill others.
Later, White Yao Yao even went to the Black Water River to deceive a marriage, swindling a golden core from a Demon King’s hands.
Originally, Mo Fan had not thought much of it, but now, learning that Black Flame and his group had been driven off, with even a Demon King falling, his heart began to waver slightly.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
White Clothes noticed Mo Fan’s expression was off and quickly asked.
“Nothing… nothing. Let us return to Black Wind Mountain first!”
Mo Fan gave a somewhat unnatural smile, then waved his hand, demonic power surging, enveloping Black Clothes and White Clothes as he soared into the sky, soon reaching above the clouds.
White Clothes could not help but smile bitterly in his heart; he understood now.
It seemed his master likely had some past grievances with the water demon clan of the Black Water River.
Otherwise, upon hearing that Black Flame and his group had been driven off, he would not have shown such an expression.
“Sigh! I wonder what fate awaits us siblings in the future…
I have already died once, so I have little to worry about, but Black Clothes…”
White Clothes’ expression darkened slightly, and he let out a soft sigh in his heart.
If he were still alive, he would definitely stop Black Clothes from following Mo Fan, because he was gradually realizing that his earlier thoughts might have been too optimistic, or rather, the reality was somewhat far from his calculations…
But now, having become Mo Fan’s ghost servant, he would remain loyal to Mo Fan for the rest of his existence. Even if he had some other thoughts, he could not act against Mo Fan’s interests.
As if sensing White Clothes’ thoughts, Mo Fan frowned slightly, turned to look at him, and smiled, “Rest assured! What you could not protect before, this king will protect in your stead!”
“Master…”
White Clothes’ heart trembled greatly at these words, and for a moment, he was deeply moved.
“This king admits I have made many enemies, each far stronger than me.
But along this journey, I have always forged ahead through thorns and brambles, never giving up!
Those enemies of the past have fallen one by one at my feet, ultimately becoming stepping stones for me to climb higher.
I am indeed very attached to my life, perhaps even more afraid of death than all you demons!
But ever since I became the great king of Black Wind Mountain, ever since the little demons of the mountain started calling me great king one after another, I understood the responsibility on my shoulders.
I do not want to die, but I want even more to protect Black Wind Mountain, to protect my children!
So whether it is Black Clothes or the other demon followers, as long as they are demons of my Black Wind Mountain, as long as they still acknowledge me as their great king, I will do my utmost to protect them!!”
Mo Fan’s words resounded directly in White Clothes’ heart, causing the latter’s spirit to tremble, leaving him speechless for a long time. After a moment of silence, he adopted the etiquette of human cultivators, clasped his fists, bowed respectfully to Mo Fan, and said gravely, “White Clothes thanks Master!”
“Alright, do not go getting all mushy on me like this. It is giving me goosebumps!”
Mo Fan waved his hand dismissively, unconcerned.
As the bearer of the tiger pattern, he could naturally sense some of the inner thoughts of his ghost servants at any time.
This was the terrifying aspect of the “Serving the Tiger” divine ability!
Not only could it control the life and death of ghost servants, but it could also read their thoughts!
“What are you two doing?”
Black Clothes, seeing the inexplicable behavior of the two demons, frowned, not quite understanding what they were up to.
“Haha, nothing. Look at that great mountain ahead; that is this king’s territory!”
Mo Fan laughed, sidestepping the topic, and pointed toward the horizon.
A great mountain came into view.
“The mountain is called Black Wind. From now on, it will be where you live. There are many cute and friendly little fellows inside. I believe you will like it!”
Mo Fan laughed heartily, his mood brightening even more upon seeing Black Wind Mountain.
Hearing Mo Fan say this, Black Clothes immediately looked over. Though her expression remained cold, a hint of anticipation flickered in her beautiful eyes.
In contrast, White Clothes’ expression was calm, returning to his usual aloof demeanor.
Even so, in Mo Fan’s eyes, this was far better than the crazed appearance he had when alive, as if they were two extremes.
“It has been over a month. I wonder how the children are doing, whether they have all returned to Black Wind Mountain?!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath, his joy evident in his words.
Though he had not broken through to the peak of the Demon General realm, his speed was astonishingly fast, and it did not take long for him to fly within a few dozen miles of Black Wind Mountain.
“Shriek!”
Suddenly, a bird cry pierced the sky.
Immediately after, a figure rapidly approached from the direction of Black Wind Mountain.
“Thud! Thud! Thud! … Thud!!”
At the same time, drums resounded like thunder from the peak of Black Wind Mountain, ringing out eight times!
Buzz!!
As the drumming ceased, a crimson light shield emerged from the top of Black Wind Mountain, completely enveloping the entire mountain.
“This is?!”
Mo Fan’s eyes lit up upon seeing this!
Then, the approaching black shadow gradually became clearer, and a stern shout echoed through the sky!
“Hey! Where did you wild demons come from, daring to trespass in my Black Wind Mountain’s airspace?
Hurry and land, state your origins!
Do not provoke your Screech Grandpa, or you will all be turned into dishes!!”
“…”
Mo Fan was speechless, thinking to himself that it seemed every time he returned to the mountain, he would encounter such a scene. Was it necessary to take some time to train these patrolling bird demons?
Patrol if you must patrol!
But adding threats and intimidation, though fierce enough, was somewhat problematic in attitude.
If this continued, it might sooner or later cause big trouble!
While Mo Fan was pondering, White Clothes and Black Clothes exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
This was the great king’s so-called friendliness?
“Screech, it is me!”
Mo Fan spoke, causing the bird demon Screech, who was charging forward, to perform an aerial emergency brake.
“Great king?”
Screech rubbed his eyes, looked closely at Mo Fan, and immediately beamed with joy, shouting, “It is the great king!”
“The great king is back!!”
Screech shouted excitedly, then directly ignored Mo Fan, turned, and flew back toward Black Wind Mountain, calling out as he flew, “Brothers, the great king is back!!”
Watching Screech’s retreating figure, Mo Fan’s face twitched slightly, and he gave a wry smile to the two demons beside him, “These little demons lack manners. Do not take it too seriously.”
With that, he led the two demons toward Black Wind Mountain.
“Children!”
“This king is back!!”
