Mo Fan smiled brightly as he spoke. His gaze swept over all the great demons in the martial training field. Then he asked again, “By the way, is there anyone else who wants to leave?”
“If you wish to leave, feel free to go. This king will certainly not stop you!”
“As for that scene just now, it was truly a misunderstanding. Please do not misunderstand this king! This king is really not some evil demon. This king is inherently kind and good-hearted…”
The demon kings: “……”
Someone wanted to leave, so you killed him. That was bad enough. You even had his corpse stewed and cooked. And that still was not the end. You did not even let his soul go!
You really are not an evil demon. After all, no evil demon is as wicked as you?
You have already killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. Now who would still dare to leave?
The demons were speechless. All of them were inwardly complaining.
“Black Wind King, you are overthinking it. The fact that you could invite us here already shows you have given us plenty of face. There is even a grand gift to be presented later. How could we possibly miss out on such a good thing?”
“I do not know what the others are thinking, but this king absolutely will not leave!”
While the demons remained silent, one demon king spoke up. Although there was a hint of flattery in his words, he invisibly eased the tense atmosphere.
Mo Fan felt much better upon hearing this. He looked at the demon king and smiled, “May I know how this brother is addressed?”
“Black Wind King, your cultivation is far higher than this king’s, yet you call this king ‘brother’. This really makes this king feel overwhelmed with favour!”
The demon king first smiled and exchanged pleasantries. Then he smiled again and said, “This king resides at Earth Hill Temple. The local lesser demons all call me Earth Hill King!”
Earth Hill King?
A glint of dark light flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes. He instantly saw through the demon’s true form and thought to himself, “No wonder the name sounds so unappealing. Turns out he really is a dirt-digging demon!”
However, on the surface he smiled and said, “So it is Brother Earth Hill. Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you!”
After saying this, Mo Fan looked at the other demon kings again. He smiled brightly and asked, “Is there any other brother who wishes to leave?”
All the demon kings fell deathly silent. From afar, however, waves of the aroma of stewed beef drifted over…
“It seems all the brothers greatly approve of this king’s rules. Since that is the case, let us begin!”
Seeing that no demon stepped forward again, Mo Fan smiled with satisfaction. Then he said, “Brothers, there is no need to worry about anything. You also do not need to write anything. This king has already prepared blood mud for you. Simply press your fingerprint onto this beast hide and leave a drop of blood. That will be sufficient!”
“Brother Earth Hill, why do you not set an example for everyone?”
Mo Fan looked towards Earth Hill King. The latter’s face immediately stiffened. However, he quickly regained his composure. He stepped forward, glanced at the three ghost ancestors standing behind Mo Fan, swallowed hard, and gave an awkward smile. “Since Black Wind King has said so, this king will naturally not decline. I shall be the first to sign!”
Although he said this out loud, his entire arm trembled as his finger dipped into the blood mud and pressed down onto the beast hide.
In the end, however, he steeled himself and left his fingerprint along with a drop of fresh blood.
Earth Hill King had originally thought he would undergo some unusual change because of this. In reality, nothing happened at all. This immediately allowed his tense nerves to relax considerably. He clearly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When the other demon kings saw that Earth Hill King had already made his choice, they had no option but to step forward one after another and perform the so-called “sign-in”.
What brought a slight sense of relief to the lesser demons who had come along was that they did not need to sign in. They were not qualified. Only their great king grandfathers were signing.
After the last demon king successfully signed in, Mo Fan realised that the number of loose demon kings he had invited this time was truly quite large. There were fully thirty-five of them!
Looking across the entire Fengming Mountain demon domain, aside from that unfathomably deep Fire Phoenix Palace, probably no other demon mountain could match the number of King realm great demons among these loose demon kings.
Even White Feather Mountain and Golden Domain Mountain could not possibly have so many demon kings!
In other words, as long as Mo Fan subdued all these demon kings, it would be equivalent to subduing more than half of the Fengming Mountain demon domain!
Of course, although his methods were somewhat overbearing, he would not go too far. The so-called subduing would naturally not involve anything extreme. It would simply be “uniting” them.
To reform the demon race, the most important thing was to rebuild order and unite the scattered demons.
The reason he had staged that “kill the chicken to scare the monkeys” scene earlier was precisely to thoroughly intimidate these demon kings. That was very necessary.
Only by displaying sufficient strength could he make the demons respect and obey him.
Clearly, Mo Fan had achieved this!
Mo Fan put away the beast hide. Then he laughed loudly, “Everyone has been very cooperative. Since that is the case, from now on we are all one family of demons!”
“To celebrate the arrival of all the brothers, before we begin the sermon and transmission of teachings, this king shall first treat all the brothers to a Demon King Banquet!”
“Black Wind King is too courteous!”
“Thank you, Black Wind King, for your gracious hospitality!”
Although the demon kings felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, they were all extremely polite to Mo Fan at this moment.
There was no choice. The last one who was not polite had already become the main dish they would eat soon. Naturally, they did not want to become the next dish themselves.
In short, this trip had not been in vain. It had truly allowed them to witness what a real “monster” looked like!
Compared to this “toad demon king”, they, who were usually quite brutal themselves, actually seemed much kinder.
Mo Fan did not make the demon kings wait long. Old Chai from the kitchen camp soon ordered the lesser demons under him to carry several huge iron pots onto the martial training field. They really started the feast right there on the spot.
The demon kings looked into the pots. The soup was white and milky. Not a single piece of meat could be seen. It had presumably been stewed until it dissolved. Even the bones had turned into dregs!
When they thought that the fellow in the pot had just been one of them moments ago, the demon kings immediately fell silent. They felt a strong sense of shared sorrow.
Mo Fan casually took a large soup ladle handed to him by a nearby lesser demon. He stirred it around in the pot. Only then did he awkwardly realise there was no meat left. He had no choice but to scoop up a ladle of soup and drink it. Instantly, rich fragrance filled his mouth, and a wave of warmth spread through his stomach.
“Although there is no meat in this pot, the soup itself can be considered the finest quality. It is just right to warm everyone’s stomachs!
Brothers, do not stand on ceremony. Hurry and drink it while it is hot!”
Under Mo Fan’s urging, the demon kings finally began to scoop and drink.
Although each of them felt deeply moved inside, they did not hold back when drinking the soup. Every one of them drank until their bellies were bulging.
This was a genuine Demon King Banquet. Even for demon kings like them, it was rarely something they could enjoy on ordinary days.
This scene made the surrounding lesser demons drool uncontrollably. They wished they could just jump straight into the pots. But none of them dared to actually do so. They were afraid they might truly end up as a piece of meat in the pot…
Under the demon kings’ hearty feasting, all ten large iron pots were completely drained. Only some bone dregs remained.
Mo Fan saw this and did not want to waste it. He immediately asked the Black Water Old Demon to use a water technique to refill all the large iron pots with water. They boiled it again.
“Since everyone came following their own great kings, this king naturally will not treat you unfairly. This second pot of soup shall be bestowed upon you lesser demons!”
Mo Fan spoke up and awarded the soup to the lesser demons who had been watching eagerly with drool flowing.
This made the lesser demons burst with joy.
Although it was the second pot, there was still some oil and flavour left!
This scene also caused the demon kings to secretly nod in approval. Although this Black Wind Demon King acted in an overly domineering manner, he had not abandoned these low-cultivation lesser demons at this moment. He could be considered thorough in every aspect.
After drinking the soup, the lesser demons were fully satisfied. Quite a few even broke through right on the spot.
The most eye-catching were two lesser demons who had not yet fully transformed. After drinking the clear and plain soup, they actually broke through continuously. They went straight from the third transformation stage to the Demon Soldier realm!
“You two little demons are truly fortunate!”
Mo Fan could not help but sigh with emotion when he saw this.
This reminded him of how he had been when he first arrived at Black Wind Mountain. Forget about eating a Demon King Banquet. He had almost been beaten to death and turned into a pot of toad soup. Where was there ever such good fortune back then?
Indeed, this king is still too kind-hearted!
