176: Thunder King, with boundless power
Chapter 176: Divine Thunder Great King, Boundless Magic Power
Linhai Commandery, on the border of Si Province, was a place of sprawling mountains and desolation.
Within a three-hundred-mile radius, there were no human inhabitants, only fierce beasts in the mountains and forests. Travelers often went missing here, making it a forbidden zone for nearby towns.
In this desolate land, a chicken demon, leading Long Teng and Xiao Bai, arrived at a tall mountain.
“Greetings, General Feng!”
The few young wolf demons at the foot of the mountain, recognizing the familiar figure, respectfully greeted him.
General Feng nodded, then looked up at the mountain:
“Take me to see Lord Huang Feng! I have an important matter to report!”
The young wolf demons also noticed the two demons behind General Feng. One, who had just joined, was about to ask:
“Where are you from? You are not allowed to enter without our lord’s summons.”
But before he could speak, he was pulled back by an older wolf demon beside him.
The wolf demon captain said, “Lord Huang Feng left a few days ago. I’ll take you to see the Dog-Head Military Advisor first!”
“Alright!”
With that,
the wolf demon captain led the three demons up Yellow Wind Mountain.
After they left,
the young wolf demon couldn't help but ask, “Didn’t Lord Huang Feng say we shouldn’t let strange demons enter Yellow Wind Mountain?”
The older wolf demon hit the young wolf demon on the head and said, “That’s true, but you have to know who you’re dealing with, don’t you?!”
“If they were low-level demons, we could easily take them down. But clearly, they are not.”
“If you spoke rashly, you would displease them. At best, they’d teach you a lesson; at worst, you’d lose an arm or a leg.”
“Our main purpose here is to warn, not to fight enemies, understand?”
The older wolf demon was imparting wisdom to the young wolf demons. Lord Huang Feng had set up the mountain gate in this godforsaken place.
It was safe.
But there wasn't much to gain. The nearest Human Race town was several hundred miles away.
The resources given to the low-level demons were pitifully small.
With the meager resources they got each month, what kind of life could they live?
“Besides, these two demons were brought by General Feng. If there’s any trouble, it’ll be on him, not us.”
The young demon nodded, half-understanding. So there were so many intricacies involved.
He had thought that joining a great demon’s faction would lead to a good life, but he hadn't expected it to be less free than when he roamed alone.
Half an hour later,
Yellow Wind Immortal Cave.
The wolf demon captain led the three demons into the Dog-Head Military Advisor’s Immortal Cave.
The Dog-Head Military Advisor was actually a yellow dog demon, wearing a feathered crown and holding a black fan, giving him the air of a refined demon.
After General Feng briefly explained the situation, the Dog-Head Military Advisor’s expression immediately changed, and he ushered Long Teng and Xiao Bai to the seats of honor.
“Your Senior’s presence truly brings glory to my Yellow Wind Immortal Cave! Minions, quickly bring out good wine and meat!”
“To entertain Divine Thunder Great King and this Senior Sheep!”
The Dog-Head Military Advisor bowed, quickly giving orders. This was a great opportunity for his Yellow Wind Mountain. Once this Yao Race big shot joined the Yun Province Demon Clan, as the introducer, he would surely receive a considerable reward.
“Dog-Head Military Advisor, our Yellow Wind Mountain hasn’t seen meat in half a month, and we only have three bottles of good wine left!” the wolf demon captain beside him reminded.
“Bastard!”
“Can’t you go and plunder some?! Are we going to let our great Divine Thunder Great King eat nothing but the wind?!”
The Dog-Head Military Advisor was furious. This… this was simply making a laughingstock of them in front of two Yao Race Seniors. Such a large Yellow Wind Mountain, yet no meat and no wine.
Also,
couldn’t you have gone to prepare earlier? It takes time! He really wanted to curse: Are you brain-damaged, or do you have low emotional intelligence?
It made their Yellow Wind Mountain seem lacking in hospitality.
The wolf demon captain was overjoyed: “Your subordinate will go deliver the order now!”
Dog-Head Military Advisor, our Yellow Wind Mountain truly only has the wind left.
Don’t you know the situation of our Yellow Wind Mountain?
Ever since they followed the Great Demon Huang Feng, the demons of Yellow Wind Mountain had been living hand-to-mouth.
Any random Grievance-level demon lived a more carefree life than the demons of Yellow Wind Mountain.
General Feng shook his head helplessly. This was also why he had separated from them; following Lord Huang Feng made life too ascetic.
“Alright, what good wine and meat could your shabby place have? Today, my Great King is happy, so I’ll bestow some food upon you all!” Xiao Bai waved his hand, and his Treasure Pouch released a mountain of fine wine and delicacies, with a dazzling array of fruits.
The breathing of the demons in the Immortal Cave quickened, their dry mouths staring at the food. They had never seen such a grand display since joining Yellow Wind Mountain. This was simply a dimensionality reduction attack on the Yellow Wind Mountain demons.
“This…”
The Dog-Head Military Advisor was stunned. He hadn’t expected Senior Sheep to be so generous. He quickly shouted to the demons, “Why aren’t you thanking Divine Thunder Great King and Senior Sheep for their great kindness?!”
“Thank you, Divine Thunder Great King! Thank you, Senior Sheep!”
“Divine Thunder Great King, boundless magic power! Senior Sheep, boundless blessings!”
Long Teng saw a group of low-level demons kneeling before him, and an inexplicable thrill surged through his heart. So he was that strong in the outside world?
It turned out he wasn’t too weak; it was just that his master was too strong.
A silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
No, no.
He had to maintain his Aura.
“Rise, all of you!”
Long Teng’s voice was like a booming bell, his Aura as vast as the sea.
This made the demons even more submissive. A truly astonishing figure had arrived at their Yellow Wind Mountain.
Chu Jiang, above Yellow Wind Mountain, watched Long Teng and Xiao Bai’s performance and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Honestly,
it really looked the part.
He had only noted down the coordinates of the demons of Phoenix Cry Mountain and Yellow Wind Mountain.
He wasn’t in a hurry to kill them.
After he achieved a Breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm, he would come back to these two places to rack up kill counts.
And get mysterious rewards.
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
…
“Quick, send a sound-transmission arrow to Lord Huang Feng, tell him to return quickly, there’s an important matter to discuss!”
The Dog-Head Military Advisor said. Having received benefits from others, he naturally had to do his best for them.
“Dog-Head Military Advisor, there are only two sound-transmission arrows left!”
The demon in charge of the storeroom said. Sound-transmission arrows were only sent out for extremely important matters on Yellow Wind Mountain and were extremely precious.
Once fired, they would emit a specific sound signal in the air that only designated individuals could receive. The arrow would then disappear after emitting the sound.
“How dare you! Divine Thunder Great King coming to my Yellow Wind Mountain is an extremely important matter! Go and do it now!” The Dog-Head Military Advisor was furious. Do you even know how to distinguish between priorities?
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The storeroom demon, startled, fled in a hurry to the storeroom.
After a cup of tea’s time,
the sound-transmission arrow was sent out.
Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction, seeing the demons’ impatient expressions, as if they hadn’t eaten for a month.
“Begin!”
At Xiao Bai’s command, the demons eagerly took the fine wine, various meats, and fresh fruits, sitting down on the ground.
They devoured everything wildly.
The Dog-Head Military Advisor grabbed an entire platter of dog meat, taking it all for himself. Holding bamboo chopsticks, he looked like an elegant scholar.
He formed a stark contrast with the crude demons around him.
And General Feng was wildly gnawing on a delicious roasted mountain chicken.
To them, beasts without demon Qi were not of their race, so they could eat them freely.
In extreme cases,
even eating their own kind was not uncommon before demons invaded the Human Race.
Just as the demons of Yellow Wind Mountain were eating meat and drinking wine heartily,
several thousand miles away, in a mysterious great mountain.
Within a secluded valley, two great demons were drinking together.
Bursts of laughter echoed.
