Mo Fan’s words caused the four demon ancestors from White Sacred Mountain to frown simultaneously, because they all understood that he was subtly shifting the concept, yet they had no way to refute it.
After all, none of them could truly claim to take on six opponents alone.
Even Black Ming, with the highest cultivation, dared not make such a statement.
However, this comparison was inherently flawed. How could King Realm great demons be mentioned in the same breath as Ancestral Realm great demons?
In response, Black Prison merely snorted coldly and said gravely, “That was witnessed by this ancestor with my own eyes. Do you still dare to quibble, boy?”
“Hahahaha…”
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan immediately burst into laughter. While looking at Black Prison, it was as if he were gazing at an idiot. He sneered coldly, “Black Prison Demon Ancestor, you yourself said that you witnessed it personally.
That means my messenger killed the six demon kings from your White Sacred Mountain under your watchful eyes.
Is that correct?”
Black Prison’s brows furrowed slightly. His intuition told him that this boy seemed to have something hidden in his words, but he felt it was indeed the case. He nodded immediately, “Precisely. Are you still going to deny it?”
However, as soon as he spoke these words, the faces of Black Ming and the other three demon ancestors from White Sacred Mountain immediately darkened.
Mo Fan smiled faintly and said, “Three seniors, you all heard it. If my messenger could truly kill six demon kings under the direct gaze of a demon ancestor, that can only mean two things!
First, this demon ancestor was using borrowed knives to kill demons. So whether it was my messenger who killed those six demon kings or this demon ancestor who struck from behind, that is no longer clear.
Second, the demon kings of your White Sacred Mountain are simply too useless!”
“Insolent!”
Pi Shi Demon Ancestor immediately rebuked him upon hearing this. However, as soon as his aura began to spread, it was instantly suppressed by the aura emitted from Zhan Ao.
“Brother Pi Shi, calm yourself. I think what Black Wind Demon King says is not without reason!”
“If the demon kings of your White Sacred Mountain are truly that useless, then their deaths are no great loss!”
Zhan Ao grinned broadly, then smiled at Black Ming, “Brother Black Ming, what do you think?”
“The reasoning is sound, but no matter how useless they are, they were still demon kings of my White Sacred Mountain. Even if they were to be killed, it should be by this ancestor, not by some outsider demon!”
Black Ming chuckled lightly, then continued, “Black Prison, do you have evidence?”
“Ming Ancestor, this old man personally witnessed that messenger killing the six demon kings. It was not just me; many great demons were witnesses at the time. Oh, and that fellow Mo Luo was one of the witnesses too!” Black Prison quickly replied.
“What, is White Sacred Mountain planning to band together as false witnesses?”
Mo Fan chuckled lightly, then said, “If it is truly as you claim, then please hand over the corpses of those six great demons. Let the various seniors examine them together. Perhaps some special divine abilities can be used to trace the culprit.”
“Conveniently, although this old man’s cultivation is not as profound as that of the various fellow daoists, I happen to possess a divine ability that can briefly borrow the souls of the deceased to return them to their bodies. Though the time is short, it is naturally sufficient for verifying the truth.”
At that moment, Ghost Demon King spoke faintly, surprising Mo Fan inwardly. He had only said it casually, not expecting that a great demon could truly investigate the killer through the corpses.
Even the other great demons now looked at Ghost Demon King with surprise, then immediately turned their gazes towards Black Prison.
Yet at this moment, Black Prison’s cheeks flushed slightly, filled with pent-up frustration with nowhere to release it.
The corpses of those six great demons had all been taken by that female demon. Where was he supposed to produce corpses from?
Seeing Black Prison’s unsightly expression, Bai Lu and the other great demons from Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Domain were secretly amused.
They naturally knew where those corpses had gone. Although Black Prison had high cultivation, he could hardly conjure corpses out of thin air, could he?
Seeing Black Prison remain silent, Black Ming immediately spoke, “Since there is no direct evidence, let this matter drop!”
“Wait!”
However, at that moment, Mo Fan spoke up. Seeing the demons look over, he said gravely, “The matter concerning you all may be dropped, but this king still seeks an explanation for my affair. I am afraid that would be somewhat inappropriate?”
“What affair?”
Black Ming frowned, the smile finally vanishing from his face. He had realised that this toad demon had low cultivation but was extremely difficult to deal with.
Even with his excellent self-control, he could not help wanting to erupt.
Sensing the faint killing intent emanating from Black Ming, Mo Fan felt a chill in his heart, wondering inwardly if this old fellow would suddenly attack him.
With that thought, demonic power surged within his body. A layer of fine blood-coloured dragon scales immediately appeared on his surface, causing the various demon ancestors to look at him in astonishment.
Mo Fan said nothing more. Even so, he still felt it was not quite secure enough. He formed seals with both hands again, directly casting an immortal technique. As a glow emerged, his body was suddenly covered in a layer of dark red armour. It was none other than Earth Crystal Battle Armour!
Divine ability, Dragon Qi Protection!
With a low shout in his mind, a golden shield once more appeared on Mo Fan’s surface.
Sensing those traces of dragon qi, the various big shots were both surprised and helpless.
“Boy, is this really necessary?” Old Ancestor Bai Lu could not help transmitting his voice, “This is somewhat losing face for us!”
“Old Ancestor, how can face compare to life?”
“Life is one’s own!”
Mo Fan chuckled and replied via transmission.
Only after three layers of protection did he finally feel a trace of security.
“Ahem… Just now, this Black Prison Demon Ancestor demanded an explanation from this king regarding the deaths of those six demon kings. So this king also wishes to demand an explanation from the various seniors about the death of my messenger!”
“To be honest, a month has passed, and this king still has no news of that messenger. Moreover, not long ago, this king sensed his soul tablet shatter. This means my messenger is dead!
Then, according to what Black Prison Demon Ancestor said earlier, can the death of this ancestor’s messenger be considered the doing of your White Sacred Mountain?
Do the various seniors not feel that you should give us an explanation?”
As Mo Fan spoke to this point, he looked at the four demon ancestors from White Sacred Mountain ahead. Black Prison raged, “Nonsense! This ancestor did intend to slap your messenger dead, but in the end, it was interfered with by a certain fellow. So that female demon ultimately left alive!”
“Besides, even if she died, what does it have to do with my White Sacred Mountain?”
“As you said, can you produce evidence?”
Mo Fan smiled faintly and countered, “If I produce evidence, will you be willing to release the person?”
“Of course!”
“Hm?”
Black Prison had just nodded in agreement, but immediately realised something. He could not help glaring and raging, “Boy, you dare to trick this old man?”
“Black Prison Demon Ancestor, mind your words. I am merely a demon king. How would I dare to trick you?”
Mo Fan shrugged his shoulders, then looked at the various demon ancestors and curled his lip, “Just now, the various seniors all heard it clearly. It was Black Prison Demon Ancestor who was unreasonable. Now that you have agreed, are you going to go back on your word? I ask Black Prison Demon Ancestor, where is your face?”
“Toad demon, you have repeatedly humiliated this ancestor. This ancestor will swallow you alive!”
Black Prison flew into a great rage and was about to strike, but he was stopped by a glance from Black Ming.
“Worthy of being the inheritor of White Saint. Truly sharp-tongued!”
Black Ming smiled slightly, then said, “This ancestor already understands clearly the purpose of your visit. The person certainly cannot be released!”
At this point, a powerful late Ancestral Realm aura suddenly emanated from Black Ming without any further concealment!
The smile on his face turned to solemnity as he said gravely, “Not to mention that Princess Qinglian Yun Rou attempted to assassinate the prospective saint child of my sacred mountain, even White Saint himself once declared that he would betroth Princess Qinglian to the saint child of my White Sacred Mountain!
Therefore, Princess Qinglian belongs to my White Sacred Mountain!
This is also the bottom line of my White Sacred Mountain!
If you wish to use the might of Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Domain to pressure my White Sacred Mountain, then there is no need for further words. At worst, it will be war!
Even if blood dyes the entire White Sacred Mountain Demon Domain, we will never allow the name of White Saint to be tarnished!”
“Why must Old Ancestor Black Ming be so enraged? The saint child selection day is approaching. It is naturally best not to lose one’s temper!”
Just as Black Ming displayed his firm stance, a slightly hoarse laugh echoed from deep within White Sacred Mountain.
Soon after, a lean old ancestor with a ponytail and wearing a black robe stepped through the air. Accompanying him were two great demons, both emanating Ancestral Realm auras!
