Zhanao’s words left the group of big shots speechless.
Bailu simply chose to ignore this fellow outright. He turned to Mo Fan and asked, “Young treasure Mo, what do you plan to do now?”
Mo Fan pondered slightly for a moment, then said, “If it is truly as Moro said, at least within these six months, Princess Qinglian is safe. Since that is the case, perhaps we should consider entering Baisheng Mountain.
“First, it would allow us to slowly negotiate with the great demons inside.
“Second, it would give enough time to investigate Princess Qinglian’s whereabouts.
“If negotiations fail, then I can resort to open repair of the plank road while secretly crossing at Chencang, quietly rescuing Princess Qinglian!”
“This is indeed a good idea. But how do you, lad, speak like a human, with all these set phrases? That plank road and Chencang bit is quite interesting.” Bailu said with a smile.
“The Heifeng Demon King’s idea is indeed good, but there is one prerequisite: how do we know this is not a trap deliberately set by Moro?”
The Old Heishui Demon frowned slightly, holding a different view.
“This time, I agree with the old demon’s opinion. Although Moro was once a confidant of the White Tiger Holy King, the White Tiger Holy King has been missing for a long time now. Whether Moro still maintains his loyalty is hard to say.”
The Ghost Demon King spoke up at the right moment. He looked at Mo Fan and said, “Your series of deductions are all based on the assumption that Moro is still loyal to the White Tiger Holy King. But if he is now colluding with Heiming, or has already been subdued by Heiming, then once we enter Baisheng Mountain, we might face the most terrifying encirclement!”
“They dare!”
“Do they really think this ancestor is a vegetarian?”
As soon as the Ghost Demon King’s words fell, Zhanao sneered, then grinned and said, “This ancestor has fought some of the old fellows among Baisheng Mountain’s Demon Ancestors before. They are not as terrifying as you imagine.
“If it really comes to a fight, this ancestor can at least hold off two. With all my trump cards out, holding off three would not be impossible!”
“…”
The group of demons was once again speechless.
Mo Fan also noticed that this big shot seemed to get very excited at the mere mention of fighting. He was a complete battle maniac demon.
“No wonder this ancestor is reputed as the foremost great demon under the Holy King of the Fengming Mountain demon domain. Now it seems there is reason for it. Just this warlike spirit alone far surpasses the likes of Bailu.”
Mo Fan thought to himself, but on the surface, he nodded and smiled. “Senior Zhan is truly worthy of being the foremost great demon under the Holy King of our Fengming Mountain demon domain!”
“However, what Senior Ghost Demon King said also makes perfect sense.”
“Since that is the case, this junior will first have You Er divine a reading to calculate the fortunes and misfortunes of going to Baisheng Mountain!”
Hearing Mo Fan say this, the Ghost Demon King and the Old Heishui Demon both frowned slightly, feeling it was somewhat frivolous. Yet deep down, they also harboured a trace of anticipation.
The reason they had come to help Mo Fan on this trip was also so that afterwards, that little fatty could divine opportunities for them. If they could witness his divination ability in advance, that would naturally be better.
Bailu had already witnessed You Er’s divination ability, so his eyes immediately lit up. He urged, “Then why do you not quickly release that little fatty!”
“Yes!”
Mo Fan nodded. With a gesture, he released You Er.
This time, he had deliberately brought You Er along precisely to use him at critical moments.
You Er’s divination ability could truly be terrifying at times.
After understanding Mo Fan’s request, You Er did not hesitate. He immediately began divining in front of the group of big shots.
When the intricate runes on the Destiny Compass appeared, the several big shots could not help but look at each other, because even they, who were widely experienced, had never seen such runes before.
As the compass spun wildly, You Er had Heiyi drip a drop of blood. Finally, cyan and red lights intertwined, ultimately manifesting a cyan glow on the compass.
The group of demons looked at that mass of cyan light. Within it, they vaguely saw a mountain range shrouded in black mist, along with several figures emerging from the range, though they could not see clearly.
Seeing this scene, You Er immediately waved his hand to put away the Destiny Compass.
Seeing the cyan glow, a smile finally appeared on Mo Fan’s face.
“What does this mean?”
Bailu and the other big shots were somewhat puzzled and could not help but look at You Er.
You Er turned to Mo Fan, who immediately explained, “His Destiny Compass distinguishes fortunes with lights. Red indicates misfortune, cyan indicates fortune. Just now, we divined the fortunes of Heiyi entering Baisheng Mountain with us, and as you saw, it is greatly auspicious!”
“As for the images in the cyan light, they are actually a hexagram. If I am not mistaken, the mountain range shown in the hexagram should be Baisheng Mountain!”
“Great King, that mountain range is indeed Baisheng Mountain!”
As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, Heiyi could not help but nod.
Hearing this, the group of big shots began to view You Er in a new light. Apart from Bailu, who had seen You Er’s methods before, the other three demons had never witnessed them, so they found it incredibly miraculous.
Could this little fatty at the Foundation Establishment stage truly divine fortunes and misfortunes from the heavens?
“Esteemed seniors, as you have seen, next I may need to make a trip to Baisheng Mountain. I hope the esteemed seniors can assist me!”
With a gesture, Mo Fan put You Er back into his storage pouch. Then he looked at the four demons again, his face full of sincerity.
“Rest assured. Since this ancestor has promised you, I will not go back on my word!”
Zhanao nodded. Then his gaze swept towards the other three demons. He grinned and said, “I am sure the various dao friends feel the same, right?”
“Of course. Brother Bailu might be an exception. You always have a timid heart, so being afraid is perfectly normal!”
Bailu, who had indeed been considering backing out, immediately bristled upon hearing this. He snorted coldly, “What do you know? This old man calls it caution!”
“Young treasure Mo, rest assured. This ancestor supports you this time!”
Seeing both Demon Ancestors express their stance, the Old Heishui Demon and the Ghost Demon King exchanged a glance. The latter also nodded and said, “I have nothing else to do anyway. Let us go and see Baisheng Mountain.”
“The Heifeng Demon King and my Heishui River are close neighbours. Naturally, this old man cannot refuse to help!”
The Old Heishui Demon also smiled slightly and made his stance clear.
“Young treasure Mo thanks the esteemed seniors!”
Mo Fan immediately bowed respectfully to the four demons upon hearing this. At the same time, he smiled and said, “Good. Let us go together to that Baisheng Mountain and see. Half a year should be sufficient!”
“Great King, a month has already passed since I delivered the letter, so now only five months remain!”
Heiyi reminded him at the right moment.
“No matter. Five months should be enough!”
Mo Fan smiled slightly. As long as he entered Baisheng Mountain, with You Er as his trump card, he was not worried about being unable to find Yun Rou.
He had great confidence in You Er’s divination ability!
Next, the group of demons set off once more. This time, Mo Fan simply put Heiyi into his storage pouch as well.
After all, Heiyi had just killed six of their Demon Kings. Bringing her along now would undoubtedly be slapping them in the face. It was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
Several days later.
When Mo Fan’s group arrived at the periphery of Baisheng Mountain, many divine senses immediately probed out.
