Time slipped by.
It was the crack of dawn.
The Silver Moon Demon King looked worse. He was on the same level as Yao Mengji, but Yao Mengji had the help of an Immortal Item—the Tianxin Zither. Yao Mengji was much stronger with it. The Demon King was barely holding it together.
He looked at Yao Mengji and asked, “Yao Mengji, who the hell did I offend?”
Yao Mengji sneered. “Ha! You messed with the ultimate expert. You have no right to know his name!”
“You…”
The Silver Moon Demon King almost blew up with rage.
However, he did not dare to show it. He compromised and asked, “Yao Mengji, if you spare me, I’ll share with you a worldly secret!”
“Oh?” Yao Mengji looked at him.
The Silver Moon Demon King said, “I know you’ve captured the Nine-Tailed Fox. Did you know that three years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a Six-Tailed Fox? The fox grew three tails in only three years and even survived a natural tribulation. The fox must have discovered something we don’t know about!”
Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun looked at each other.
Their faces fell.
There was no doubt about it. That ‘something’ must be Li Nianfan.
Their initial theory was that he had saved the Nine-Tailed Fox. Who would have known that the Nine-Tailed Fox existed because of him?!
How terrifyingly impressive. What a bigshot!
“That’s it?”
Yao Mengji looked at the Silver Moon Demon King sympathetically. He did not realize that the secret he was looking for was the very thing that created the Nine-Tailed Fox.
That was the burden of a peasant.
The Silver Moon Demon King felt his heart drop. “This relates to becoming an Immortal God, isn’t it enough?”
“Stop resisting. The expert wants you dead. Some things are better left unsaid, so I’m afraid you’ll have to die without knowing,” said Yao Mengji.
The Silver Moon Demon King felt insulted. He yelled, “Yao Mengji, I’ve never done anything to you, so why are you doing this to me?!”
He had ruled as a Demon King for four thousand years. Was this old man not intimidated by that?
The Silver Moon Demon King’s heart dropped to his stomach. He was sure the old man was crazy. The old man kept swearing to take his life and would not stop.
Maybe he made it all up. There was no way he would do the biddings of an expert, right?
He bit down and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He activated his demonic power and swallowed his Golden Core. Then, he spread his wings and tried to flee.
“Trying to escape? No way!”
Yao Mengji took his Tianxin Zither and chased after him.
Speed was his strong suit, so Yao Mengji failed to catch up to him.
Meanwhile.
Li Nianfan stepped out of the four-part architecture with Daji. They were hiking in the mountains.
“Those cultivators finally left. How annoying of them to stick around. They made me stay at home. How awful.” Li Nianfan sighed in relief. He felt refreshed.
He had observed the surroundings for three days and made sure the cultivators were gone before he stepped outside.
He carried with him a freshly-made composite bow with custom arrows. He wanted to try it out while hunting.
However, he soon realized the problem.
The wild animals in the woods had decreased significantly because of those cultivators. He had been walking for a long time but had yet to come across a rabbit.
“Damn cultivators, they’re like a locust plague!” said Li Nianfan. He walked further into the mountains with Daji by his side and Blackie in front of him.
Daji impressed Li Nianfan.
She was calm despite being a girl. She was not weak and easily tired like other young ladies.
Of course, he picked her up from the woods, so she most likely grew up in the woods.
Not only was she beautiful, she was also tough. What a wonderful lady.
Bark!
Suddenly, Blackie turned around and barked at Li Nianfan. He then ran forward.
Li Nianfan was alert and quickly followed Blackie. “Incoming prey! Blackie, slow down. We don’t want to scare it off!”
However, Blackie ran faster.
“This dumb dog!”
…
The Silver Moon Demon King was running for his life. He stopped when he saw something in his path.
What?
There was a black spot on a cliff. He took a closer look and saw an ordinary black dog. It was looking at the Demon King, almost like it was looking down on him.
“What a stupid dog. Is it standing in the way of the Demon King?” The Silver Moon Demon King frowned and then sneered, “Move, I’ll spare your stupid life!”
Blackie stood still. The dog opened its mouth, “Destroy your own core. Don’t make me force you to do it.”
The Silver Moon Demon King was so mad that he started laughing. He felt sorry for himself. “There’s a famous saying, ‘When the eagle goes down, dogs will bully it’. Who would’ve known the saying was literal? I’m the Silver Moon Demon King who has lived and ruled for four thousand years. Now, I’m being taunted by a dog.”
Usually, the Demon King would slap the dog to death. However, he was in a rush to escape. He did not have time for this.
‘Once all of this is over, I will have a feast of dogs!’ the Demon King thought to himself. He spread his wings and tried to fly.
However, the dog raised its paw.
Boom!
A humongous phantom of a dog paw appeared in the sky.
Caw!
The Silver Moon Demon King cawed out of fear. His feathers ruffled like a porcupine. He looked at the humongous paw in despair.
He could not move an inch. All he could do was say, “Dog master, have mercy!”
Boom!
The dog paw mercilessly landed on the Demon King. It did not crush the Demon King, but it made the Demon King throw up his Golden Core.
Blackie slurped up the Golden Core like a jelly bean before chewing it up and devouring the core.
Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun witnessed everything. They were in such a state of shock that their mouths were wide open.
They went blank at what they had witnessed.
They wanted to run but their bodies were too stiff from fear.
They were targeting the Silver Moon Demon King, but they did not expect a monstrous dog demon.
The Silver Moon Demon King was like a toddler in comparison to the daunting dog demon.
That was terrorizing.
Where did that dog demon come from? Was it an Immortal dog?
Suddenly, the dog turned around, making eye contact with the both of them…
