Spatial rifts were appearing everywhere throughout the Dragon Ruins. These rifts were not stationary; they were slowly expanding, as if their ultimate purpose was to tear the entire Dragon Ruins apart.
This was the prelude to the collapse of the Dragon Ruins. Even the True Dragon Lair itself had cracked open, filling the cultivators inside with terror.
Many cultivators were cursing inwardly, wishing they could drag that fellow Emperor Qin out and give him a thorough beating, because all of this had been caused by him.
Mo Fan was likewise filled with apprehension. He fled outward along with the others, yet he still could not understand Emperor Qin’s actions.
He could not comprehend why the great seal that fellow had sacrificed had caused such enormous upheaval.
Could that seal truly be more powerful than an immortal treasure?
“What on earth was that seal? It actually triggered the laws of this place to reject it and caused the entire True Dragon Lair to fall into collapse. It is simply too terrifying!”
Hei Yi could not help speaking up, her face equally panicked.
“Just now, that Ao Sha seemed to call it the Human Emperor’s Nine Dragons Seal. It should be a treasure from ancient times!” Bai Tian Tian frowned tightly, thought for a moment, then said.
“That Nine Dragons Seal is indeed terrifying. The divine light it released seemed capable of disintegrating flesh and blood. Ao Sha’s corpse turned to bare bones in a single glance. Even if it is not an immortal treasure, it cannot be far off!
Moreover, that seal was not restricted and suppressed like the immortal treasures here; it could unleash its full power.
I surmise that the reason this place has undergone such massive disintegration is very likely because the Nine Dragons Seal triggered the local laws, thereby accelerating the collapse of the Dragon Ruins!”
Bai Shuang spoke gravely. Worry flickered between her brows as she looked at the demons around her and continued, “No wonder the human race has been able to suppress our demon race for thousands of years. This treasure hunt alone makes their foundation clear.
Never mind those Nascent Soul cultivators; just the personal disciples of the various holy lands numbered no fewer than two. Those fellows are said to be able to rival the Holy Sons of our demon race’s sacred mountains!
And then there are hidden monstrous geniuses like that Emperor Qin!
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will all become our opponents in the future.
The only reason we could disregard them here was because our realms were comparable. Outside, things will be completely different…”
Bai Shuang’s words caused all the demons’ hearts to sink.
Mo Fan, however, grinned and said, “Everyone, relax. Since I can suppress them here, I will naturally have the confidence to suppress them outside as well!
No matter how powerful they are, they only hold an advantage in realm. In the same realm, I fear no one!”
As soon as he spoke, the girls all gave helpless smiles, yet they also knew Mo Fan was not boasting. He truly possessed that strength.
“Stinky little brother, you may be strong enough, but after this treasure-hunting expedition, the human race will definitely investigate you. When the time comes, they will surely strike at you!
A freak like you, once grown, would be a nightmare for the entire human race!” Bai Shuang shook her head, far less optimistic than Mo Fan.
“That’s right, Demon King Lai Bao. This time you have offended so many human holy lands. In the future you will definitely become a thorn in their side. And your Black Wind Mountain lies at the very edge of our Hundred Thousand Mountains. If some shameless old human monster comes after you, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to run!
Why not come stay at my White Feather Mountain instead? With the Old Ancestor protecting you, even the humans wouldn’t dare go too far!
And even if White Feather Mountain cannot protect you, the Holy King would never stand idly by!”
Bai Feng seized the opportunity to speak, trying to recruit Mo Fan. At the same time, she shot Bai Shuang a meaningful glance. After a brief pause, Bai Shuang also chimed in, “Yes, stinky little brother. If you cannot bear to abandon all those little demons on Black Wind Mountain, just bring them all to White Feather Mountain.”
As she spoke, a suggestive look appeared on her face. She continued, “Moreover, as far as I know, many outstanding young demons from the entire Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain wish to visit White Feather Mountain, yet very few ever actually manage to set foot there. And not a single one has ever received a permanent residence invitation from the young mistress of White Feather Mountain!
So, stinky little brother, you had better consider it carefully.
Who knows, once you go, you might end up becoming White Feather Mountain’s consort!”
“Sister Shuang, you… don’t talk nonsense!”
Bai Feng immediately flushed with anxiety. Her exquisitely beautiful, snow-white face turned bright red, making her look even more enchantingly alluring.
“Heh! Only my good sister says the right things. Thanks!”
Mo Fan grinned widely, then turned to Bai Feng and chuckled, “If it’s about becoming consort of White Feather Mountain…”
Before Mo Fan could finish, a slightly hoarse laugh suddenly came from beside him. “It’s rare for my wise nephew to be so ambitious. Actually, this matter is indeed worth considering.”
Mo Fan jumped in fright and turned to see that Old Ancestor Bai Lu had somehow flown to his side without him noticing.
“Old Ancestor!!”
Bai Feng’s cheeks burned even redder. She glared fiercely at Bai Lu.
“Wise nephew, your old ancestor has created the opportunity for you. You must learn to seize it!”
“Hahahaha…”
Bai Lu laughed even more heartily. It was the first time he had seen his granddaughter display such maidenly shyness, and his mood instantly lifted.
Mo Fan curled his lip and glanced at the immortal sword clutched tightly in Bai Lu’s hand, thinking, “No wonder the old fellow is so happy. A man is indeed in high spirits when faced with happy events!”
Then he looked again at Bai Feng. He had to admit that Bai Feng at this moment possessed a unique charm, like a ripe, dewy peach that made him want to take a bite.
Yet very quickly Mo Fan sensed three gazes lock firmly onto him from nearby. He sighed inwardly, “As expected, a demon as outstanding as this king can unintentionally capture the hearts of female demons wherever he goes!”
Naturally, he did not respond to Bai Lu’s teasing. Instead, he looked toward the fissure overhead and saw a figure appear at the very front. The figure turned, scanned the crowd, and finally fixed its gaze on Bai Lu.
“Old Ancestor, it looks like someone is looking for you!”
Mo Fan licked his lips and could not resist speaking.
He had already seen the newcomer’s origin. It was one of the demonic shadows that had fled earlier. A demon of the magian race!
He then activated his Blue-Eyed Golden-Eyes divine ability and instantly saw through the opponent’s information.
Red Demon, early-stage Demon Ancestor cultivation!
“You little… hiss!”
Bai Lu had just started telling Mo Fan to stop interrupting when he quickly sensed something. He looked up and indeed saw a black-robed figure radiating dense demonic qi staring at him.
Those icy scarlet eyes did not look human, and the aura emanating from the figure filled Bai Lu with alarm.
“It seems this ancestor has truly been targeted this time!”
Bai Lu took a deep breath, then said, “Kid, protect Feng’er for me. Consider it this ancestor owing you a demon favour!”
“Old Ancestor, go in peace! I will protect Bai Feng well!”
Mo Fan nodded with utmost seriousness.
“You little… this ancestor isn’t dead yet!”
Bai Lu was so angry he nearly exploded, beard bristling and eyes glaring. Then a cold voice came from above, “Hand over the immortal sword, and I may spare your life!”
The speaker was none other than that Red Demon!
Yet the fact that it could speak the common tongue of the Nine Provinces Continent, rather than the incomprehensible demonic language, gave Mo Fan a slight start.
“You want the immortal sword?
That depends on whether you have the life to take it!”
Bai Lu sneered coldly, then transformed into a streak of white light and shot downward.
“Courting death!”
The Red Demon immediately dove down as well. Along the way, any cultivator who blocked its path was instantly smashed into bursts of blood mist!
