Bai Shuang’s guess made a lot of sense to Mo Fan as well.
Although that fellow Feng Gu did not see eye to eye with him, his strength was indeed beyond doubt.
Not just Feng Gu. All the great demons present here were truly the most outstanding among the younger generation in the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain!
So was the Fire Phoenix Holy King’s real intention in sending him to Moon-gazing Valley to have him step in at certain critical moments and win some glory for the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain?
Mo Fan frowned slightly. Although he felt it was making a bit too much of a fuss, it was not impossible.
On the surface, the various demon domains seemed to have no conflicts, but in reality they were all secretly competing with one another.
After the Sword Head stepped into the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain and fought the Fire Phoenix Holy King last time, Phoenix Cry Mountain announced it was sealing the mountain. This undoubtedly caused the great demons from other domains to start imagining all sorts of things and grow restless.
So this seemingly ordinary birthday celebration could very well turn into an opportunity for the younger generations of various demon domains to challenge and provoke Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain!
It would be both a provocation and a test!
Challenges would surely come when the time arrived.
In Mo Fan’s view, perhaps the other great demons still did not know exactly how strong he was, but he did not believe his strength could be hidden from the Fire Phoenix Holy King.
If that was truly the case, then everything made perfect sense.
Although Mo Fan deeply disliked having his fate arranged like this, he had no choice. If he wanted to survive and thrive in someone else’s territory, he had to accept their control. That was the most basic rule.
“Fine. If it really is as Bai Shuang guessed, then bring it on!”
“This king fears nothing!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath. Battle intent gradually grew stronger in his eyes!
Although he did not like getting involved in trouble, that did not mean he was cowardly or afraid of it.
On the contrary, he now considered himself unmatched among those at the king realm. Naturally he also wanted to meet and test the young powerhouses from the other demon domains.
If possible, he even planned to thoroughly trample all those so-called geniuses underfoot in one go!
If he could beat them into fear and submission, it would greatly help him in the future when he rebuilt order among the demon race!
The group did not stay long at White Feather Mountain. After Bai Feng arrived, they all followed Old Ancestor Bai Lu and set off together.
It was worth mentioning that along the way Zhan Feng and Bai Shuang kept displaying their affection openly, showing no concern for others watching. This left Mo Fan and the others feeling quite awkward. Feng Gu simply closed his eyes to avoid seeing it.
This made Bai Feng, who had been trying to chat with him, sigh helplessly. She then turned her head toward Mo Fan. When Mo Fan saw the situation turning bad, he quickly made an excuse and left the group ahead of time.
Bai Feng was not like those other seductive female demons. She had Old Ancestor Bai Lu, that cunning old demon, backing her up. If he got involved with her, he would surely invite a lot of trouble later on.
Mo Fan was a demon who feared trouble, so naturally he would not give her the slightest chance!
This scene made Bai Feng stomp her foot in anger!
“Silly girl, how can you be so hesitant and reserved?”
“You need to remember, these fellows are the top talents of our demon domain’s younger generation. As long as they do not fall midway, they will surely become the overlords of the entire domain in the future. Their achievements will surpass even this old one’s!
So if you want to capture their hearts, do not hold back. Be a little bolder!
True love always begins with impulse. Those who are too shy will ultimately miss the one they love. Bold pursuit may not guarantee success, but hesitating and never taking that step will definitely cause you to lose them!
This old one has already created the opportunity for you. If you still cannot seize it properly, then even this old one will be powerless!”
Old Ancestor Bai Lu’s voice reached Bai Feng’s ears, immediately making her sigh. She transmitted back, “Old Ancestor, I understand the reasoning, but should true love not be mutual? If it is only one-sided pursuit, even if it succeeds in the end, can that still be called love?”
“Where did you pick up such twisted nonsense?”
Old Ancestor Bai Lu immediately rolled his eyes, then spoke earnestly, “Feng’er, you must remember one thing. No matter how sweet mutual affection is, it cannot compare to feelings that grow over time!
Moreover, every relationship must have one party take the initiative at the start, or it will never happen!”
“Old Ancestor, I… I understand…”
“Good that you understand!
Only you young ones nowadays care about all these trivial things. Back when this old one was young, if I fancied a female demon, I would just snatch her and cook the raw rice into cooked rice first!”
Bai Feng: “…”
Mo Fan naturally had no idea about Old Ancestor Bai Lu’s love coaching. Otherwise he would surely have exclaimed how “fierce” it was!
After leaving the group, he returned to Black Wind Mountain ahead of the others.
As soon as he arrived back at Black Wind Mountain, Mo Fan informed all the high-level figures there about the upcoming trip to Moon-gazing Valley. At the same time, he selected several great demons to accompany him.
According to Bai Shuang, this gathering at Moon-gazing Valley was essentially a grand event for the demon race’s prodigies. Mo Fan felt it was necessary to let some of the great demons around him go along and broaden their horizons too.
In total, five great demons were chosen by Mo Fan: Iron Armour Demon King, Black Robe, White Robe, Yingying Monster, and You Er.
Among the five, apart from You Er, almost all were top-tier powerhouses in Black Wind Mountain.
The reason Mo Fan wanted to bring You Er along was that he anticipated some unexpected variables during the trip to Moon-gazing Valley.
Mainly because after the last battle, he already had some bad blood with Moon-gazing Valley. Bringing You Er would help avoid certain risks to some extent.
Just after Mo Fan had arranged all affairs at Black Wind Mountain properly, guests arrived.
When the lesser demons under him reported that great demons had come to visit, Mo Fan thought it was Old Ancestor Bai Lu’s group arriving early. He took a group of great demons to greet them.
Only then did he realise the visitors were not Old Ancestor Bai Lu’s party. Instead, it was the current Holy Maiden of White Saint Mountain, Princess Qinglian, Yun Rou!
Accompanying Yun Rou was also Demon Ancestor Zi Lan.
Demon Ancestor Zi Lan remained as cold and aloof as ever. She did not speak and simply stood calmly behind Yun Rou.
In contrast, Yun Rou still wore her familiar grand red skirt. Her face was veiled with white gauze. Her figure was tall and slender, with a slim waist. The places that should be full were generously so. Her bare feet were as white and smooth as jade, hovering an inch above the ground, giving her the appearance of an immortal untouched by worldly dust.
Although this was not the first time Mo Fan had seen Yun Rou, she still made his eyes brighten.
He had seen plenty of beautiful female demons, but Yun Rou could move his heart every time. Because on her, he could sense a trace of “humanity”.
Perhaps precisely because she was a half-demon, in Mo Fan’s eyes Yun Rou was often quite similar to himself. Both were clearly demons, yet both appeared very much like humans.
Mo Fan was quite surprised by the arrival of the two demons. He immediately laughed heartily. “Holy Maiden and Demon Ancestor Zi Lan have graced us with your presence. This little king failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me!”
“Black Wind Demon King is too polite. Yun Rou has come with a request.”
Yun Rou spoke calmly, though her gaze turned toward Bai Yaoyao beside Mo Fan. No one knew what she was thinking.
Bai Yaoyao sensed the other’s gaze and gave her a gentle smile with a slight nod.
Yun Rou nodded slightly in return, then withdrew her gaze.
Seeing that no sparks flew between the two females, Mo Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief thought, he looked at Yun Rou and smiled. “You are not here to invite me to Moon-gazing Valley as well, are you?”
“Oh?”
Yun Rou was slightly stunned when she heard this. Even Demon Ancestor Zi Lan behind her looked at Mo Fan with some surprise.
Seeing their reactions, Mo Fan immediately knew he had guessed correctly. He then explained that he was already planning to head to Moon-gazing Valley.
“We indeed came here to invite you to travel with us to Moon-gazing Valley. Since you are also going, then let us go together!”
