Zhan Ao suddenly changed his tone. His expression became extremely serious as he looked at Mo Fan and said, “The reason this old man arrived late this time is because on the way here I fought with a Demon Ancestor from Giant Spirit Mountain.
I learned from him that a Demon Ancestor from Giant Spirit Mountain had fallen here, so I came to investigate the truth.
Young man, do you know about this matter?”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding demons all looked at Mo Fan with some worry, unsure what Zhan Ao meant by this.
They thought Zhan Ao was preparing to investigate the cause of that Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Ancestor’s death.
After all, strictly speaking, that Demon Ancestor’s death could very likely affect the relationship between the two major Demon Ancestor holy lands. In a more serious case, it could even become the spark that ignites a war between the two great demon domains.
Mo Fan also furrowed his brows slightly, but he had no intention of hiding anything. Besides, this matter could not be concealed anyway. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Senior, to be honest, that Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Ancestor went too far in bullying demons. He not only threatened me using all the demons on my mountain, but he also insulted the Fire Phoenix Holy King. This was witnessed personally by every demon on my mountain! So his death is well deserved!”
When Zhan Ao heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He gave a light laugh and said, “So you are the one who killed him?”
“Exactly!”
Mo Fan nodded.
“Well killed!”
“It seems that very soon our Fengming Mountain demon domain will give birth to a new Ancestor-realm great demon!”
Zhan Ao smiled faintly. There was not the slightest trace of blame in him, nor did he press for more details. He simply smiled at Mo Fan and said, “Rest assured. The Demon Ancestor who came rushing from Giant Spirit Mountain has already been beaten back by this old man. For the short term, he should not come to trouble you again.
Moreover, with the matter of Granny Que now, the Holy King will no longer show any courtesy to those great demons who dare to trespass in our Fengming Mountain demon domain. So you can be completely at ease!”
“By the way, on my way here this old man also encountered an injured monk. The moment he saw me he tried to sneak away in a panic, so this old man took action and chopped off one of his heads. In the end, though, he still managed to escape!”
As Zhan Ao spoke, he casually waved his hand. A blood-soaked head immediately appeared on the ground.
Mo Fan and the surrounding demons looked closely. It was clearly the head of that Three Precepts Monk!
When Mo Fan thought about how he had tried everything and still could not keep that Three Precepts Monk here, yet the person in front of him had casually chopped off one of his heads, he felt quite shaken.
This one was truly ferocious!
Seeing the strange expressions on the demons’ faces, Zhan Ao immediately asked, “Do you recognise this person?”
“Of course we recognise him. Granny was harmed by this bald donkey. I wish I could skin him alive, tear out his tendons, refine his soul, and seize his spirit!”
Mo Fan gritted his teeth. The anger he had been suppressing in his heart flared up once again.
“So that is how it is. This monk’s cultivation is not weak. If I had not met him when he was already heavily injured, chopping off this head of his would not have been easy!”
Zhan Ao nodded, then said to Mo Fan, “This monk must be a Buddhist cultivator who came from the Western Desert. Since he dared to come to our Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to stir up trouble, we have no need to be polite with him!
Rest assured. I will use my connections to try my best to take his other head as well!”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Mo Fan immediately cupped his hands in thanks.
Zhan Ao was a late-stage Ancestor-realm great demon. The connections he spoke of were surely some very powerful Ancestor-realm great demons. If those great demons really joined forces to hunt down that Three Precepts Monk, the latter might truly end up being left behind in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!
For Mo Fan, this was good news. If the Three Precepts Monk were killed by a group of great demons, that would be ideal. Even if they failed to kill him, the monk would surely be forced to flee in exhaustion and would have even less time to cause trouble at Black Wind Mountain. That would give Mo Fan more breathing room.
Next, Zhan Ao briefly asked about the situation at Black Wind Mountain. He said nothing more, simply took Granny Que’s corpse along with that immortal sword and soared into the sky, preparing to return to the Fire Phoenix Palace to report back to the Fire Phoenix Holy King.
Watching Zhan Ao disappear in an instant, Mo Fan furrowed his brows slightly.
Although he felt something was not quite right, he still said nothing. He only hoped the Fire Phoenix Holy King would have a way to revive Granny Que.
“Little brother, rest assured. Granny Que will definitely be fine!”
Bai Shuang now looked at Mo Fan and said calmly, “If there is anyone in the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains who has the best chance of saving Granny Que properly, it can only be the two Holy Kings. One is the Mysterious Spirit Holy King of Lingxi Gorge, and the other is our Fengming Mountain demon domain’s Fire Phoenix Holy King!”
“Really?”
When Mo Fan heard this, the worry in his heart eased a little. He immediately looked toward Bai Shuang.
“Of course. Think about why our Holy King is called ‘Fire Phoenix’?”
Bai Shuang smiled faintly, then continued, “It is said that back in the day the Holy King also rose from being a small demon. By a stroke of fate she obtained a drop of true phoenix blood, which allowed her to advance all the way and establish her position as Holy King.
It is precisely because she possesses the true phoenix inheritance that the Holy King gained an extremely deep understanding of the path of nirvana, and thus also a very deep insight into the path of life and death.
To put it simply, you should know that within the Fire Phoenix Palace there is a treasured land called the Nirvana Pool. Legend says that no matter how severe the injuries are, as long as one enters the Nirvana Pool, they can be reborn and transformed!
Of course, the wonders of the Nirvana Pool are not limited to that alone, so you really need not worry too much.”
Bai Shuang’s words made Mo Fan feel much better inside, but at the same time they also deepened his hidden concern. After all, he had personally entered the Nirvana Pool before, so he naturally understood exactly what the so-called Nirvana Pool really was.
Where was there any power of creation?
It was clearly just an array activated with an极品 spirit stone as its core.
Could a single极品 spirit stone really revive Granny Que?
Mo Fan felt deeply worried about this. What made him even more uneasy was that the极品 spirit stones inside the Nirvana Pool had long ago been completely absorbed by the money coins. Whether the Nirvana Pool still had any effect now was hard to say.
“Cause and effect, cause and effect… I never thought it would eventually fall on my head…”
Mo Fan gave a bitter laugh in his heart. He had not expected that the Nirvana Pool he had destroyed back then would become one of the hopes for saving Granny Que…
“Great King, Miss Shuang is right. With the Fire Phoenix Holy King taking action, Granny Que should be fine. There is no need for you to be overly sad right now. Since things have come to this, we can only choose to trust the Holy King.
Moreover, right now every demon on Black Wind Mountain is watching you. You are their Great King. You must pull yourself together!”
Bai Yaoyao looked at Mo Fan and spoke calmly.
“Young Master Mo, right now the tens of thousands of demons on Black Wind Mountain all need you. What you should do is not grieve, but turn grief into strength!
That monk escaped. In the future he will surely cause more trouble. As the Demon King of Black Wind Mountain, you must make yourself grow much stronger as quickly as possible!”
At this moment, someone else flew over from the distance. To the astonishment of all the great demons, it was none other than Mr. Fang from the Demon Academy!
The battle at Black Wind Mountain earlier had been far too terrifying. Even Fang Ru had sensed it and immediately moved all the children of the Demon Academy, along with the demon cultivators and wild beasts who had come to listen to the teachings, to a safe place.
Now that the storm had calmed, he had come up the mountain.
What puzzled the demons was why this Mr. Fang addressed their own toad Great King as “Young Master Mo”?
Although they were confused, the demons did not ask. After all, this was not the time for such questions.
“You are all right. I really should pull myself together!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath, nodded to the concerned demons around him, and in the next moment a shocking killing intent burst from his eyes.
“No matter who it is, anyone who dares to bully Black Wind Mountain… this king will sooner or later settle the score with their blood and bones!”
