Chapter 110
"Fellows, Yao Huang being captured is of grave importance. Let's put our heads together and come up with a plan!"
The Leopard King stood in the center, overseeing everything as he spoke.
"Based on the information conveyed by Ye Feng Demon Spirit, this human's strength should be greater than Yao Huang's, but probably not by much," the Eagle King pondered. "Otherwise, Ye Feng Demon Spirit wouldn't have been able to fight him for three hundred rounds."
"Right, the Eagle King makes sense," the Monkey King chimed in. "But even so, this person's strength is beyond what we can handle. What's more, I'm even more curious why he went through the trouble of capturing Yao Huang, and even wants to cook him into soup..."
Everyone nodded solemnly, wondering what this person's purpose could be.
For a time, the atmosphere sank into silence.
Finally, the Pig King stepped forward and said, "By capturing Yao Huang and threatening to cook him into soup, he's clearly insulting us. Given that humans have always harbored hatred towards our demon realm, his actions are very likely meant to provoke us, or even declare war on the demons of Mount Mufu!"
"Good point. But it's also possible he's here seeking vengeance," the Deer King interjected. "We've all eaten a few humans who wander into the mountains, and Yao Huang even more so over the years. It's likely one of those eaten humans was this person's junior or disciple."
"What the Deer King says makes sense," the Monkey King said. "Humans have always adhered to 'an eye for an eye'. This conveniently aligns with his goal of cooking Yao Huang into soup."
"The two reasons you've guessed are likely spot on," the Leopard King nodded. "But either way, we alone don't have the ability to rescue Yao Huang. So let's come up with a concrete plan!"
"I think that no matter his reasons, this human's actions are a declaration of war against the demons of Mount Mufu," the Eagle King rumbled deeply. "And humans are the common enemy of our demon realm. His provocations give us ample reason to report this matter to the Yao Huangs of the other territories and request their aid."
"I concur."
"I concur as well."
"Though there is friction between our territories at times, when facing a common enemy and grave injustice, I'm sure they will set aside their differences temporarily."
The other demon kings also nodded at this moment.
Having a plan, the eighteen demon kings transformed into streams of light and raced away.
Within a single day, the eighteen demon kings had contacted the Yao Huangs of the other territories of Mount Mufu.
Sure enough, when facing the common human enemy, the other Yao Huangs chose to set aside their usual grievances and lend a hand.
With an order from the Yao Huangs, all the demons of Mount Mufu banded together and issued a kill order!
As soon as the kill order went out, Mount Mufu shook with a massive earthquake. Countless ordinary animals fell into panic, and demons that normally hid in the shadows emerged from the mountains.
In the mountain range.
"These Cloud Road Flowers are really hard to find!"
Yi Feng held Big King Ba in one hand while carrying a small bamboo basket, continuing to walk.
"And I seem to be lost!"
Yi Feng's face darkened as he looked at the map in his hand, filled with anger. He had been wandering this mountain range for a long time without finding his way out. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn crooked merchant, giving me a fake map. I curse you to have a son without balls!"
The woman's bright eyes sized up Yi Feng. The bamboo basket on his back, the turtle in his hand, and lack of energy fluctuations all told her he was undoubtedly a mundane!
As such, she lowered her guard and expressionlessly said, "What business do you have?"
This woman was frigid but seemed reasonable, so Yi Feng politely responded, "Miss, I only want to ask for directions out of these mountains."
"Asking for directions?"
The woman knitted her brows and coldly said, "Reckless fool, daring to trespass in these mountains!"
Having said that, she turned and left. But her melodious voice carried over, "You two, escort him down the mountain. Be sure to see it through, or he won't make it out alive."
"Thank you, miss."
Seeing this, Yi Feng politely expressed his gratitude.
But she made no further response, gracefully gathering her snowy skirt in her jade hands as she sat down cross-legged, slowly closing her bright eyes.
The two youths led Yi Feng down the mountain, but before long, they turned and left.
"Hey, brothers, what's going on?"
Yi Feng looked at them in confusion. They hadn't even made it out yet.
"Humph, be content, little one. If not for Miss Li's face, I wouldn't want to say another word to a puny mundane like you. Whether you make it down the mountain dead or alive is none of our concern." One youth disdainfully said.
"Right, a mere mundane's life is worthless anyway, not worth feeling bad over if you die!"
The other youth echoed mockingly, then they swiftly flew away, clearly not caring whether Yi Feng lived or died.
"Fine then."
Yi Feng rubbed his nose, unbothered, and continued carrying Old King Ba to find a way out.
He just didn't understand why the woman said this place was dangerous?
Other than the occasional wild beasts, it seemed alright...
Maybe cultivators are just high-strung!
"Did you escort him down the mountain?"
As the two youths returned, the seated woman slowly opened her eyes and asked expressionlessly.
"Escorted, escorted him out," the two youths replied, bowing their heads knowingly.
The woman looked at them for a moment, then closed her eyes again.
Yet in the next moment, she sensed an absolute crisis approaching. Before she could react, dense demonic energy exploded in the air.
Accompanied by a shadow pouncing from the ground, a massive male eagle swooped down with sharp talons, screaming with killing intent, "All humans in this mountain range, leave none alive!"
