At the periphery of White Sacred Mountain.
A group of demon cultivators personally witnessed the scene of the black pillar of light reaching the heavens colliding with that terrifying enormous tiger paw. All of them were shocked by it.
“Old Ancestor, will our great king be in danger?”
Cha Cha, dressed in a suit of golden armour, furrowed his brows tightly. He subconsciously looked towards the golden-haired man beside him who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Ao slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, “Rest assured! This ancestor has already warned that black tiger. He is not foolish and knows how to make the right choice.”
Hearing this, Cha Cha finally let out a sigh of relief. After learning that his great king was not in danger, he did not dare to say anything more. He consciously walked to one side, afraid of disturbing the quiet cultivation of these two demon ancestors.
“Brother Zhan Ao, the fellow who just escaped had considerable cultivation. An ancestral realm ghost cultivator just left like that. I fear he will cause a huge hidden danger to our demon race. Why did you not act to stop him?”
Old Ancestor Bai Lu looked at Zhan Ao, a trace of doubt in his eyes.
“What? You would not do it yourself, yet you incite me to do it. Are you trying to use me as a spear?”
Zhan Ao glanced at Bai Lu. The latter’s face twitched immediately. He laughed awkwardly and said, “Brother Zhan Ao thinks too much. Is it not because my cultivation is inferior to yours?”
“That ghost cultivator is not as simple as you think. Even that black tiger could hardly do anything to him. Even if I acted, I would probably not change the outcome. Instead, I would invite trouble upon myself.”
Zhan Ao snorted coldly, then said indifferently, “It is just a mere ghost cultivator. If he really dares to cause chaos in our demon race, those demon saint kings would be the first not to let him off!”
“Besides, that fellow is a ghost, not an idiot. He will not do something suicidal.”
“That makes sense!”
Bai Lu nodded, then asked again, “Is that kid Lai Bao really planning to participate in this White Sacred Mountain holy son selection?”
“It seems so. Anyway, we have already waited for half a year. Waiting a few more days is no problem.”
“No matter the result, as long as we bring him back alive at that time, we will have fulfilled the promise!”
Zhan Ao’s words caused Bai Lu’s brows to furrow slightly. He then sighed and said, “I really do not know why you value that kid so much!”
“You do not know?”
“If you, this old thing, really did not know, you would not have brought him to find me. Stop playing dumb in front of me!”
Zhan Ao snorted coldly. He did not particularly like Bai Lu’s way of speaking.
“Hehe…”
Although scolded, Bai Lu was not annoyed. Instead, he grinned. Then he spoke faintly, “The holy son of this White Sacred Mountain has probably already been internally decided. If that kid Lai Bao stays, he will only disrupt certain fellows’ arrangements. At that time, he will probably be drawn into a life-and-death situation. Are you really prepared to act?”
“If White Sacred were still here, I naturally would not dare to be reckless. But if these current fellows want to bully a demon from my Feng Ming Mountain, they will definitely have to ask first whether my fist agrees!”
…
After Zhan Ao’s warning, although Black Ming had a gloomy face, fortunately he did not act against Mo Fan again. This caused the Ghost Demon King and the Black Water Old Demon to both let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, they felt that their strength was already strong enough to rival ordinary demon ancestors. But after just one encounter with Black Ming, they profoundly realised how terrifying this fellow Black Ming was. Naturally, they did not want to truly come into direct conflict with him.
Next, as Black Ming’s calm voice rang out, the curtain on the holy son selection was thus drawn open.
“Kid, that you are willing to participate in the holy son selection really surprises this holy son somewhat!
But rest assured, this holy son will properly entertain you later. I absolutely will not let you die too quickly!”
Black Flame looked at Mo Fan, a cruel smile appearing on his face, as if he could already see the miserable outcome of Mo Fan’s defeat.
“Which one are you?”
“If this king remembers correctly, the holy son selection has not yet begun. So where does a holy son come from?”
“Truly, to act tough, you do not even want face!”
Mo Fan spoke indifferently. Yet his words caused Black Flame’s face to stiffen. They also made many nearby great demons unable to hold back their amusement. Some even held it in until their cheeks turned red, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound.
“Kid, a sharp tongue will not let you win victory. Later, this holy son will let you know the consequences of being my enemy!”
Black Flame was so angry his teeth itched. His eyes looking at Mo Fan seemed almost about to spit fire.
Mo Fan smiled, then simply turned his head away directly. Out of sight, out of mind.
“That damn fellow!!”
Seeing this, Black Flame trembled with anger. Then he sensed a large hand patting his shoulder lightly.
“Why get angry with a fellow who is about to die?”
“Yan’er, remember this. You are my Black Ming’s descendant, the inheritor of my entire black tiger lineage. In the future, you will even rule the entire White Sacred Mountain!
So your vision cannot be limited only to some weak fellows. Now your trump cards are very strong. You can appropriately shift your gaze to some old fellows.
The reason heavenly prodigies are heavenly prodigies is not because they can overlook their peers, but because they can suppress the strong of the older generation across realms!”
Black Ming spoke indifferently, his words filled with confidence in Black Flame.
After all, he was very clear about Black Flame’s trump cards at this moment. Not to mention that Black Flame himself was a black flame demon body, with cultivation already reaching the late king realm. He had even awakened the most powerful Ghost Control divine ability in the black tiger lineage’s inheritance.
Once an ancestral realm ghost slave appeared, he did not believe anyone in the king realm could block it!
So that toad demon was doomed to fail!
No, not fail, but perish!
On one side, after hearing the conversation between the two demons, Mo Luo and the other demons all could not help furrowing their brows.
“Mo Luo, Zi Lan, do you still remember your previous agreement with this ancestor?”
Black Ming suddenly looked towards Mo Luo and the others. His expression was indifferent as he said, “According to the agreement, once Black Flame becomes the holy son, you will unconditionally obey this ancestor’s commands!
Only in this way can the power of my White Sacred Mountain truly coalesce once more!”
“This old man naturally knows. But if Black Flame fails and Lai Bao Demon King obtains the position of holy son, you also must not carry out any more actions to split the mountain. Otherwise, you will become a traitor to my White Sacred Mountain!” Mo Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice as well.
“That is natural!”
Black Ming sneered coldly. Then his gaze swept towards the many great demons hurrying over from the surroundings. He smiled faintly and said, “I am sure everyone has heard clearly!”
“This ancestor can act as witness to this agreement!”
“Whoever becomes the holy son, this ancestor will personally become their protector. If anyone dares to act in violation, this ancestor will definitely pursue it!”
Pi Shi Demon Ancestor flew forward. His gaze swept over Mo Fan and Black Flame, a trace of anticipation revealed in his eyes.
He had never belonged to any faction. He was only loyal to White Sacred. Now that White Sacred was no longer here, he naturally did not want to see White Sacred Mountain fall apart. And the holy son was the button that would stabilise White Sacred Mountain.
As long as the holy son appeared, for the sake of White Sacred Mountain, he would protect the holy son!
“This ancestor can also act as witness to this agreement!”
At this time, Zhu Han Tian also flew to Pi Shi Demon Ancestor’s side. He said calmly, “If anyone dares to violate the agreement and betray the mountain, this ancestor will become their enemy!”
Hearing these words, Pi Shi looked at him with some surprise.
“We are also willing to act as witnesses to this agreement. If anyone violates the agreement and betrays the mountain, we will exterminate them together!”
With two demon ancestors taking the lead in speaking, the remaining many profound king realm great demons also spoke up one after another.
“Hahaha…”
“Very good. This ancestor has long awaited this moment!”
Black Ming immediately laughed loudly, as if victory was already in his grasp!
This scene fell into the eyes of Mo Luo and Zi Lan. Yet it caused their hearts to sink slightly. They had a premonition that something was not quite right.
