Chapter 50 The Name of Yaojian Mountain
Demon Lord Qing Yan: "The Demon Emperor of Sunset Ravine is extremely famous among the Demon Tribe of the Eastern Lands; it seems the Demon Clan really is gearing up for war."
Wux Qingyao: "What should we do? Should we join forces with both the righteous and demonic paths?"
Elder Lord Qi Yang: "Hey, hey, hey, we are from the same sect; don't sell me out."
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: "Another war, it's just non-stop."
...
Su Yie watched their conversation and came to understand that the feud between the Human and Demon Clans had dragged on for countless years. It was said that a long time ago, before the Demon Clan was unified, when the Human Clan was newly born, humans were prey for the demons. Over time the hatred between the two clans had grown so deep it was irreconcilable.
"I hope this isn't the last great war."
Su Yie thought to himself, for he hadn't yet truly come into his own. How would he face the Xuanyuan Human Emperor, Di Jun, and Tai Yie in the future?
Having thought thus, Su Yie returned to the mountaintop to continue his cultivation.
He aimed to break through to the Mystic Demon King Realm as soon as possible!
Also, the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword had to reach its full potential, as did the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps; he needed to be good at fighting and fleeing.
Three days later, he had absorbed all the Demon Cores, and his strength increased to two hundred and thirty Dragon's Strength. He could clearly feel his own vigor and blood energy getting stronger.
Meanwhile, on the main peak, the Demon Lord Tower had been successfully built by the monsters, a simple wooden hut. The former Three-Headed Ghost King had lived directly in the mountain, but neither Su Yie nor Nan Xiaopao were accustomed to that.
That day, he summoned all the Shape-Shifting Great Demons.
"Next, we're going to expand our forces,"
Su Yie said, tapping his fingers on the tabletop, articulating each word. Besides the eight Shape-Shifting Great Demons, Luo Zhenhai was also present. As for Nan Xiaopao, she was still in the midst of cultivation.
At these words, the Purple Back Bear King immediately expressed his eagerness: "Great, I've been looking forward to this."
To them, cultivation was dull compared to the thrill of battle—below one demon, above ten thousand!
Su Yie nodded, "Each of you will lead a team. Four teams will go out at a time. All the Demon Soldiers you conquer will be under your command, but you must hand over the resources honestly. If I find anyone deceiving their superiors and subordinates, I will ensure their death is miserable."
By the end of his speech, every demon could feel his killing intent.
Then Su Yie selected four Shape-Shifting Great Demons to lead the troops into battle, while the others stayed behind to defend Yaojian Mountain, taking turns to go to war.
After Su Yie made the arrangements, Luo Zhenhai left straight away.
His strength was on par with a Divine Power Demon King; to even stay behind was enough, he had no desire to be Su Yie's laborer.
Once all the demons had left, Su Yie sat on the chair to think.
To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in the great war between the Human and Demon Clans.
If he helped the Human Clan, his subordinates would definitely not be happy.
If he helped the Demon Clan, he himself could not bear it.
"When I become powerful, I'll rule a territory on my own, where all the clans can coexist,"
Su Yie decided in silence. Immediately afterward, he stood up to look for Nan Xiaopao.
With the help of the Spiritual Spring, this girl's cultivation was progressing rapidly. She would undoubtedly become one of the leading experts of Yaojian Mountain.
It must be said, the Sacred Body of Qiling is overbearing and can control any plant.
The next day.
The Ashen Rock Hound King returned with the troops, bringing a hundred little Imps, looking rather battered, a clear sign that there were many powerful monsters in the surrounding areas.
The Purple Back Bear King, Chi Tianyi, and the Wild Elephant Kui also returned one after the other, each with modest gains.
The other four Shape-Shifting Great Demons then set out on their campaigns, spending a day to bring back over nine hundred monsters, far surpassing the four led by the Purple Back Bear King, making them quite dissatisfied. They clamored that next time they would definitely bring back even more monsters.
Thus, Yaojian Mountain began to enter a period of rapid development.
New monsters joined every day, and Su Yie specifically assigned a hundred monsters to build a palace on the main peak, fitting for his status as the Demon Lord. However, the monsters' architectural skill was not high, and progress was slow.
In less than ten days,
The number of monsters at Yaojian Mountain reached twenty thousand!
At the same time, the name of Yaojian Mountain began to spread.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the mountains dozens of miles away from Yaojian Mountain, there stood an ancient, crumbling castle, ominously terrifying.
"Yaojian Mountain? Is its master the Demon Lord who annihilated Dong Fangjue?"
A Snake Demon coiled around a stone pillar asked. Its upper body was human, but its lower half was that of a snake, thicker than a water bucket, and its long hair resembled seaweed. Scales adorned its cheeks, and its snake eyes were cold and grim. As it spoke, a sharp snake tongue flickered out.
In front of it, a Demon Toad the size of a young calf knelt down.
The Demon Toad replied, "Yes, they've been gathering a large number of monsters and have even invaded our territory."
Its voice trembled, clearly terrified of the Demon Lord.
After all, they were unable to deal with the previous Three-Headed Ghost King, and now an even stronger Demon Lord had emerged, with a clear intent to invade. How could it not be afraid?
The Snake Demon slowly descended, hands clasped behind its back, pondering, "The Demon Lord is powerful, we can't make an enemy of him. The banquet of the Bailing Demon King is about to begin, and the powers of the Demon Clan in the Bailing Territory will be reshuffled. We must find a strong backer."
The eyes of the Demon Toad lit up and it asked, "My lord, are you thinking of allying ourselves with the Demon Lord?"
"Let's first test the strength of the Demon Lord," the Snake Demon said quietly, its serpent eyes flickering, clearly planning something.
The Demon Toad said nothing more, aware that its king had his own calculations.
...
At the summit of the highest peak of Yaojian Mountain.
Boom!
A three-meter-high boulder suddenly exploded, and Su Yie appeared ten meters away with a trailing afterimage.
He was breathing slightly heavily, his face showing excitement.
He had reached the minor accomplishment stage of his Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, and his Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword was getting closer to major accomplishment.
It had been twenty days since he moved into Yaojian Mountain. Occasionally, monsters would come to create trouble, but they were all killed, thereby spreading the fierce reputation of Yaojian Mountain.
"At this rate, the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword will soon reach major accomplishment, and then I'll have a killer move," Su Yie happily thought. Up to now, he didn't have any spells with great offensive power, but if the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword achieved major accomplishment, it would be absolutely stunning.
"Hum—"
Just then, a horn blew from the peak on his left.
Su Yie narrowed his eyes; he had arranged sentries, and if an army of demons numbering over a thousand approached, they were to blow the horn in preparation for battle.
With that thought, he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked out.
He saw over ten thousand monsters charging from the end of the grassland, led by a lion as big as a truck with a mane like blazing flames fluttering, exuding a ferocious aura.
A Divine Power Demon King!
Su Yie immediately judged the cultivation of the coming force. Could this be the Crimson Flame Lion King?
Given that not many Divine Power Demon Kings in the vicinity were lions, he was easily able to guess who it was.
After all, Yaojian Mountain dispatched monsters to battle every day, so it was natural to obtain various pieces of intelligence about the Bailing Territory.
The Crimson Flame Lion King suddenly stopped, and the tens of thousands of monsters behind him also came to a halt.
The Shape-Shifting Great Demons from Yaojian Mountain quickly led their troops down the mountain, ready for battle.
"I am the Crimson Flame Lion King, and I've specifically brought troops to pledge allegiance to the Demon Lord!"
The Crimson Flame Lion King yelled with his head raised, his mighty voice echoing under the blue sky.
The monsters of Yaojian Mountain were all stunned.
To pledge allegiance?
Damn!
Then why did you approach with such a big show of force as if ready for a fight to the death!
