At the peak of Black Wind Mountain, the originally empty square was now filled with flickering demon shadows.
These demons came from various parts of the Fengming Mountain demon domain, and all of them possessed quite impressive cultivation. Among them, there were as many as dozens of King Realm great demons!
They had all arrived after receiving Mo Fan’s invitation, gradually showing up over the past month or so.
At first, these great demons still harboured some doubts about Mo Fan. After all, rumours said that the Laibao Demon King of Black Wind Mountain was merely a toad demon who had only risen thanks to sheer luck and by clinging to one of the demon ancestors in the Fire Phoenix Palace. That was why so many demon kings gave him face.
In the eyes of many demon kings, Mo Fan was not as formidable as the rumours claimed. His main body seemed far too weak.
A mere toad. Even if it had stepped into the King Realm, how powerful could it really be?
Moreover, they had heard a little about Black Wind Mountain. It was just a small mountain on the edge of the Fengming Mountain demon domain, nothing particularly noteworthy.
But when these great demons arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain with their trusted little demons in tow, they were instantly stunned by the mountain’s majesty.
How could this be called a small mountain?
It was clearly towering without end, utterly grand and imposing!
It was precisely after witnessing the grandeur of Black Wind Mountain that many demon kings quietly set aside their disdain for the place. At the same time, they grew somewhat eager to meet the Black Wind Demon King Laibao in person.
However, after climbing to the summit of Black Wind Mountain, they were directly arranged on the open-air square. They did not even get to see the face of the Black Wind Demon King Laibao.
This thoroughly infuriated quite a few hot-tempered demon kings. They immediately prepared to cause trouble.
Those who came this time were all independent demon kings, and quite a few were already mutual enemies who had fought fiercely over minor resources in the past.
This time, not only did they fail to meet the host, but they also ran into their usual rivals. Immediately, several short-tempered demon kings started fighting on the spot.
The majority of the demon kings, however, watched the spectacle with amused expressions. They wanted to see how Black Wind Mountain would quell the anger among these demon kings and whether that toad demon king would actually appear, and if he did, how he would handle the situation.
Yet the final method Black Wind Mountain used completely convinced these visiting demon kings.
Because Black Wind Mountain directly deployed ten demon kings!
Two of them were even at the peak of the King Realm!
The moment the peak King Realm aura was released, all the commotion on Black Wind Mountain instantly died down.
In the end, these demon kings were just independent minor demons. Their cultivation really was not that impressive. Although there were dozens of demon kings in total, the highest cultivation among them was only late King Realm.
Most crucially, none of these demon kings had the slightest intention of uniting. Naturally, they could not stir up any real waves.
After Iron Armour Demon King and Black Water Old Demon stepped forward, all the demon kings immediately behaved themselves. They no longer dared to cause trouble, and at the same time, they were shocked by the depth of Black Wind Mountain’s foundation.
They never imagined that in this obscure demon mountain there would actually exist great demons at the peak of the King Realm!
Later, when the six great demon kings from the Black Water River and the other demon kings of Black Wind Mountain appeared one after another, these independent demon kings no longer had any complaints.
No matter where one went, the principle was always that the strong ruled supreme. Among the demon race, this was even more pronounced!
Once Black Wind Mountain displayed sufficient strength, these demon kings naturally submitted. At the same time, they became even more eager to see what kind of presence the legendary toad demon king possessed.
If at the beginning they had all sorts of criticisms and doubts about Mo Fan, now those were completely gone.
The reason was simple. Mo Fan was the master of Black Wind Mountain. If his strength could not command respect, how could the great demons below possibly obey his orders?
In truth, the great demons of Black Wind Mountain felt quite helpless about this. Logically, Mo Fan should have appeared long ago. As long as he showed even a hint of his powerful strength, there would be no worry about these independent demon kings causing trouble.
But what frustrated the great demons was that Mo Fan had not appeared for more than a month. Bai Yaoyao had even made a special trip to the Spring Pool Cave, only to find that Mo Fan had entered secluded meditation. So she had Iron Armour Demon King and Black Water Old Demon step forward and use their powerful cultivation to suppress the group of demon kings.
Yet with the time for the sermon and transmission of the law drawing closer, although the great demons appeared calm on the surface, they were actually quite anxious inside.
No matter how urgent they felt, everyone understood they absolutely could not disturb Mo Fan’s cultivation. So they simply sent the personal guard commander Erha to the Spring Pool Cave to check the situation.
Who would have thought that Erha returned soon after with a face full of bad luck? When the demons asked what happened, he mumbled that the Spring Pool Cave was haunted. This left all the demons both laughing and exasperated.
Before they could ask for more details, they saw Mo Fan stepping through the air and arriving.
Mo Fan first swept his gaze over the demon kings in the martial training field. Then he turned his eyes to his own demon subordinates and smiled gently. “My children, this king has emerged from seclusion!”
“The Great King has come!”
“It is the Great King!”
The little demons all over the mountain instantly became excited beyond measure. They raised their heads to look at Mo Fan in the sky and saluted. “We greet the Great King!”
“We greet the Great King!”
Bai Yaoyao and the other great demons also bowed to Mo Fan upon seeing him. Even the six great demon kings from the Black Water River slightly cupped their hands.
Black Water Old Demon narrowed his eyes slightly and said in amazement, “This lad seems even more terrifying than a month ago!”
If a month ago Mo Fan had been sharp and exposed, now he had become restrained and steady. His aura was hidden and not released. This showed that he had thoroughly consolidated his peak King Realm realm!
“There is no need for everyone to stand on ceremony!”
Mo Fan waved his hand. Then he looked again at the King Realm great demons in the martial training field and smiled. “This king is the Black Wind Mountain Demon King, Laibao!”
“Welcome, all my brothers!”
From the moment Mo Fan appeared, these demon kings had been secretly sizing him up. Yet they found they could not see through his depths at all. Even those demon kings who had been displeased at first quietly set aside their contempt.
“Black Wind King is too polite!”
Hearing Mo Fan refer to them as “brothers”, the demon kings immediately began exchanging courteous words.
“To be honest, this king feels ashamed. Two months ago, after slaying an ancestral realm great demon from Giant Spirit Mountain, this king suddenly gained insight. So I entered secluded meditation in my cave dwelling to comprehend it. I did not expect to miss welcoming all my brothers. My hospitality has been lacking. Please forgive me, brothers!”
Mo Fan smiled slightly. His words were gentle and humble, yet the information they revealed was substantial. It left all the great demons with shocked expressions.
He had just slain an ancestral realm great demon from Giant Spirit Mountain?
The demon kings exchanged glances. They truly had not heard anything about this. While shocked in their hearts, they could not help but wonder whether Mo Fan’s words were true.
But when they noticed the calm, undisturbed expressions on the faces of Black Wind Mountain’s demon subordinates, they became even more astonished.
Those who could become demon kings were not fools. From the expressions of these subordinates, it was not hard to guess one thing.
This toad demon was probably telling the truth!
If this fellow had really slain another demon ancestor, it would be far too heaven-defying. No wonder he had the audacity to invite all these independent demon kings here.
With the strength to slay a demon ancestor, even if this toad demon had not yet broken through to the demon ancestor realm, his power was surely not far from it. He could absolutely suppress them, these demon kings!
At this moment, Mo Fan took in all the expressions of the demon kings. He felt quite satisfied inside. Then he spoke again. “To be honest, I feel ashamed. Last time, that ancestral realm evil demon was directly swallowed alive by this king, so not even bones remained. Otherwise, I would definitely have held a grand demon ancestor banquet to properly entertain all my brothers!”
As soon as these words came out, the demon kings were once again left speechless in shock.
Good heavens!
Swallowing a demon ancestor alive?
This toad was truly ferocious!
“Black Wind King is far too courteous. Just inviting us to attend the sermon and transmission of the law already gives us great face! Waiting a little longer is nothing at all!” one demon king said with an awkward laugh.
“Brother, you are getting a bit too excited. Let this king correct you. It is the sermon and transmission of the law!”
Mo Fan spoke with a gentle smile, warm like spring breeze. Then he explained. “I believe many brothers still do not fully understand what the sermon and transmission of the law means. This king will explain it briefly.
The reason this king invited all of you here this time is firstly to promote harmony and unity among the demon kings of our Fengming Mountain demon domain. Secondly, it is to use the occasion of the sermon to allow everyone to mutually verify and confirm each other’s cultivation insights!
Thirdly, this king has specially prepared a great gift for all my brothers. It is a cultivation technique from a human race holy land! As well as a detailed explanation of the overall strength of the human race on the Divine Domain continent!
This king believes that after listening to this king’s explanation, all my brothers will gain much.
Moreover, I believe everyone has received this king’s invitation jade slip. Inside it were some unfamiliar characters. This king will also teach everyone how to recognise them…”
