At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
Seven figures stood side by side, yet at this moment all of them were deeply shocked by the majestic mountain before their eyes.
“Am I seeing things? This is Black Wind Mountain?”
Looking at the enormous peak that disappeared into the clouds, the Black Fish Demon King opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
“Though it is hard to believe, this is indeed Black Wind Mountain!”
The Blood Eel King spoke with a grave expression.
“Wasn’t Black Wind Mountain just a small hill less than a hundred zhang high? How has it suddenly become so towering?” The Black Fish King looked puzzled.
“Idiot, that is exactly why even the Old Ancestor was alarmed. You ask me, but who should I ask?”
The Blood Eel King snapped irritably, then frowned and continued, “However, compared to the changes in the mountain itself, I am more surprised by these little demons.
Where did Black Wind Mountain find so many little demons?”
As he spoke, the Blood Eel King pointed into the distance.
Not far away, countless little demons were queuing up, undergoing registration by a group of greater demons from Black Wind Mountain.
Seeing the dozen or so queues that stretched like long dragons, all the demon kings were somewhat dumbfounded.
This was not merely “many”.
It was simply a dense mass!!
“It seems there is indeed something wrong with this Black Wind Mountain. Old Ancestor, shall we go up?” One demon king looked at the elder beside him and asked respectfully.
“Let us go. This old man is also very curious about it. It will be a good chance to ask that fellow Lai Bao.”
The elder known as “Old Ancestor” nodded, yet he did not immediately fly up. Instead, he spoke in a loud voice, “The Lord of the Black Water River has come to pay a visit. May I ask if the Black Wind Demon King has time to speak with this old man?”
As the words of the Black Water Old Demon left his mouth, in an instant the entire Black Wind Mountain echoed with his slightly hollow voice.
Senior Black Water has arrived?
On the mountain, Mo Fan smiled faintly, then turned into a bolt of lightning and vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already not far from the Black Water Old Demon.
“Lai Bao pays respects to Senior Black Water!”
Mo Fan cupped his hands towards the Black Water Old Demon, while glancing at the six demon kings beside him, then said to them, “I have failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, fellow daoists!”
“We dare not!”
“Demon King Black Wind, you are too polite!”
“…”
The six demon kings from the Black Water River immediately smiled awkwardly and waved their hands. In front of Mo Fan, they did not dare to put on airs.
After the last Demon King Grand Ceremony, they had been completely convinced by Mo Fan’s strength.
If the Black Water Old Demon had not come this time, they would not have dared to set foot in the territory of Black Wind Mountain.
Mo Fan smiled slightly, said nothing more, and made a “please” gesture towards the Black Water Old Demon.
The Black Water Old Demon was not pretentious. He immediately led the demon kings to fly up Black Wind Mountain with Mo Fan.
After the previous trip to White Sacred Mountain, he and Mo Fan had developed some friendship and could be considered friends.
Only after flying up Black Wind Mountain did the demon kings finally see clearly just how vast Black Wind Mountain had become now. They could not help but click their tongues in amazement.
“Demon King Black Wind, the changes to your Black Wind Mountain are a bit too great, aren’t they?”
The Black Water Old Demon looked at Mo Fan with a deeper meaning in his words.
Mo Fan naturally understood why he had come. He immediately smiled and said, “It is indeed much larger than before. Senior, you should still call me Lai Bao! I am not quite used to being called Black Wind Demon King.”
The Black Water Old Demon was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, “Good!”
“I understand the purpose of Senior’s visit, but I think some matters are better discussed with you alone.” Mo Fan thought for a moment and said.
As soon as he spoke these words, the expressions of the six demon kings beside the Black Water Old Demon immediately became rather uncomfortable.
How could they not understand what this meant?
Although they felt some dissatisfaction in their hearts, none dared to say anything more.
“Oh?”
The Black Water Old Demon also looked at Mo Fan in surprise, then said to the Blood Eel King and the other five demon kings, “In that case, this old man will take a walk with young friend Lai Bao. The six of you wait here. Do not cause trouble, otherwise if you stir up any chaos, even before young friend Lai Bao takes action, this old man will discipline you first!”
“Yes, Old Ancestor!”
The six great demon kings gave bitter smiles upon hearing this and nodded together.
Although their realm was the same as the Black Water Old Demon’s, their strength was far inferior. Even all six together would not be enough to fight him.
Moreover, the Black Water Old Demon had long since merged with the Black Water River. Since the six great demon kings sought survival in the Black Water River, they naturally had to acknowledge him as their master. This was why they called him “Old Ancestor”.
Mo Fan smiled slightly at this, then led the Black Water Old Demon on a stroll through the mountain, communicating with each other through voice transmission the entire time.
From beginning to end, they appeared like two friends of different generations casually chatting.
However, the Black Water Old Demon’s expression changed several times. It was truly quite a spectacle.
Because he had shared a period of friendship with the Black Water Old Demon, Mo Fan did not conceal anything. He directly recounted the matter of the heavenly merit descending this time.
In fact, the event of heavenly merit descending and purple qi coming from the east could not be hidden at all. Therefore, in Mo Fan’s view, rather than covering it up and letting others speculate suspiciously, it was better to openly explain it.
At the same time, using the occasion of the heavenly merit, Mo Fan also told him about creating a writing system for the demon race. This left the Black Water Old Demon dumbfounded and deeply shocked.
A writing system for the demon race!
This little fellow had actually created a writing system for the demon race without any fanfare?
“Of course, for now it can only be considered a completely new system of writing. Whether it can truly become the demon race’s writing still requires great demons like Senior to help me promote it, so that we can complete this important stroke in the inheritance of our demon race!”
Mo Fan smiled slightly. Seeing the shocked expression on the Black Water Old Demon’s face, he continued, “Back then, the White Tiger Sacred King placed great hopes on me, wishing that I could change the current state of the demon race. Although the White Tiger Sacred King has now vanished, this junior is untalented but still wishes to carry on Senior White’s will and strive to open a path for our demon race!”
“I know this path is destined to be bumpy, full of thorns and mud, but the situation forces the demons. The time left for our demon race is running out. If we cannot open a new path, the fate awaiting our entire demon race will be extinction!”
“I also know that these words of mine may seem overly naive in Senior’s eyes. After all, my cultivation is low and my ability limited. Yet precisely because of this, I need the help of great demons like Senior!
The demon race is not the domain of the White Tiger Sacred King alone, nor is it the clan of me, Lai Bao, alone. It is the common domain of countless demons like you and me!
The White Tiger Sacred King sacrificed himself for our demon race, buying a hundred years for our Ten Thousand Great Mountains. This was an act of great righteousness. He is the pioneer of our demon race!
This junior is untalented, but I am willing to continue the path of the White Tiger Sacred King and change the demon race!”
Looking at Mo Fan’s determined expression, the Black Water Old Demon opened his mouth, then finally said with a wry smile, “If I had known this little fellow had such great ambitions, this old man should not have come to your Black Wind Mountain to see the spectacle. In the end, I have forced myself into the situation!”
“Senior, this is not a trap, nor am I the one setting it. This is the great trend. This is destiny!”
Mo Fan looked earnestly at the Black Water Old Demon and said solemnly, “You should understand very well the current predicament of today’s demon race, right?
It appears peaceful, with no invasion or threat from other races. In reality, we have already been forced into a dead end!
The Ten Thousand Great Mountains appear to be the land of our demon race. In fact, the human race can attack at any time!
In the past, they were able to establish a Southern Border. In the future, they will certainly be able to establish more Southern Borders, or even the land of a Southern Continent!”
