"Sir, where are we going?"
The pig demon was carrying a bag of tools Li Mo wanted him to buy in the village. He asked in a flattering tone.
"Digging a grave."
"Oh, whose grave are you digging?"
"Ming Emperor's grave."
"Ming Emperor?
Which Ming Emperor?
Don't tell me you mean the founding emperor of the Sunrise Empire? "
"That's him."
Clang!
The pig demon was so scared that all the tools in its bag fell to the ground.
"Sir, you are powerful and fearless, but not me. I am but a puny pig demon. My King Peacock may not fear the Ming clan, but I can't. The Ming clan can kill me with a flick of their finger. If I dig their ancestor's grave, I'll be dead for sure!"
"Sir, please spare this little pig. I have parents and children to take care of …"
"If you want to live, do whatever I tell you to do. If you don't want to live, I can send you to see that bird right now."
The pig demon picked up the bag of tools in a panic and followed Li Mo without another word.
After a day of walking, they were far away from the human settlements. Before them was a mountain full of spiritual qi.
"Sir, this is the territory of the Demon Race. Although there are no great demons like the Peacock King on this mountain, there are no less than a hundred demons of various sizes. The Demon Race and the Human Race have an agreement. The Demon Race can move around in the Human Race's territory, but the Human Race cannot move around in the Demon Race's territory."
Li Mo said, "Isn't it exactly what you want me to be?"
"What are you saying, sir …" The pig demon smiled.
After a day of contact, Li Mo got to know the pig demon's name. It wasn't a pig, but Fang Dongpi. In human language, this name sounded awful, but in demon language, it sounded impressive.
According to the pig demon, his name meant 'ascension' in the language of the demon race.
PS: Demon ascending is the same as human ascending.
Yan Wenjing asked, "Zhu Chengtian, do you demons live together like us humans, or do you live separately?"
"Miss Yan, I am Fang Dongpi, not Zhu Chengtian." The pig demon explained.
"Our demon race also has cities, but there aren't any here. This is our cultivation ground. Here, every demon's goal is to cultivate. Hence, the demons here all live their own lives."
"The demon race is based on strength. The big demons occupy the best training grounds, while the small demons occupy the worst. The big demons can do whatever they want, while the small demons are cautious and weak. I, Fang Dong Pi, am one of the small demons."
"Another thing is that the Demon Clan is more particular about bloodline than the Human Clan. We are not like you humans. Even the commoners will occasionally have a strong physique. In the Demon Clan, only the pure-blooded descendants of the Great Demon Clan will have a transcendent status. Small demons like me, without any background, will never have the chance to stand out."
"In our Eastern Domain Demon Clan, there are four noble demon bloodlines: the Golden Lion King bloodline, the Silver Dragon King bloodline, the Peacock King bloodline, and the Chaos Green Lotus bloodline. However, the Chaos Green Lotus bloodline hasn't appeared for millions of years. Therefore, the three great demon kings are the strongest demon bloodlines."
The pig demon was weak, but he was knowledgeable. Not only did he know the three archfiends' bloodlines like the back of his hand, but he also knew a lot about humans.
Of course, Li Mo wasn't any less knowledgeable than the pig.
After all, Li Mo lived on Imperial Planet for two centuries in his past life. There wasn't a single secret he didn't know of in the five regions.
Whoosh ~
Four shadows came from the depths of the forest, blocking the way.
The four black figures were all human, but their heads were animals. They were the bear demon, tiger demon, leopard demon, and fox demon.
"This is Great Horse King's territory. I don't care who you are, but I will kill you for trespassing!"
The pig demon shrunk and whispered behind Li Mo, "Sir, Great Horse King is the strongest demon in this mountain. This is his territory."
Li Mo shook his head, "Never heard of him."
Li Mo knew there were three archfiends, but he had no idea who Great Horse King was.
The pig demon panicked, "Great Horse King is strong. I think it's best we don't provoke him."
The bear demon shouted, "Pig demon, why are you walking with these two people?
Leave quickly, or else I'll kill you without mercy! "
"I-I …"
The pig demon didn't know what to do. Li Mo was the first to strike.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Li Mo punched four times and the four demons fell one after the other.
They were stronger than the pig demon, in the sixth level. Li Mo's Instant Earth Fist didn't leave a mark on them.
The bear demon was shocked, "That's Dongfang clan's Hegemon Fist. You're from the Dongfang clan?"
"Dongfang clan's people, we've always minded our own business. Why are you trespassing on our territory?"
"I will only say this once. First, I am not from the Dongfang clan. Second, I am just passing by."
The four demons looked at each other.
The fox demon bolstered his courage, "So you're not here to kill us?"
The fox demon was female. Her head was that of a fox, but her body was no different from a human's.
The pig demon shouted, "Of course not. This great one is just passing by. Do you understand?
He'll leave immediately. "
Whoosh ~
The four demons retreated in a demonic wind.
Two humans and one demon continued on their way. Half an hour later, the sky darkened and a strong demonic wind blew, shaking the earth and mountains. It was as if the end of the world had come.
"I, Great Horse King, have cultivated for a million years. I am the undisputed first in seniority among the demons. The three archfiends, Little Gold, Little Silver, and Little Kong, call me Ancestor Horse when they see me. How dare you two puny humans attack my men?"
A giant horse head appeared in the sky. It snorted through its nostrils and the earth shook.
"Great Horse King!"
The pig demon knelt in fright.
Li Mo stared at the horse's head in the sky, "I told your men I'm just passing by. What, are you looking for trouble?"
"Trouble?
This is my territory. I am the most senior and strongest Demon King in the Demon Clan. Do you think I will let you pass without greeting me when you pass by my territory? "
"You want to fight?
Bring it on. "
Li Mo flew to the horse's head.
"Stop!" The giant horse head roared.
Li Mo stopped, looking at it in shock.
"You human, don't you know the rules?"
"What rules?"
"I've told you who I am. Aren't you going to do the same?"
"Dongfang clan, Ming clan, Nangong clan. Which clan are you from?"
"It's none of them."
"You have no background?" The giant horse head was taken aback.
"Speaking of background, I have none."
"Impossible! Think about it carefully!"
"No need. I have no background. I'm just an ordinary human."
The giant horse head shook its head, "Impossible. My men told me you know the Dongfang clan's Hegemon Fist!"
"I'm not using the Tyrant Fist of the Dongfang family. The fist I'm using is of a higher level than the Tyrant Fist of the Dongfang family!"
The giant horse head's eyes lit up, "Does that mean the Dongfang clan is far below you?"
"You're absolutely right." Li Mo nodded.
Li Mo used Earth Fist, while the Dongfang clan's Hegemon Fist was Human Fist. Of the three fists, Human Fist was weaker than Earth Fist and Earth Fist was weaker than Heaven Fist. The three fists couldn't even be compared.
"You say you have no background when the Dongfang clan is below you?"
"Let us welcome the mysterious guest whose strength far surpasses the Dongfang clan!" The giant horse head roared.
"Let us welcome the guest!"
The black clouds scattered and hundreds of demons lined the road to welcome Li Mo.
Li Mo was dumbstruck, Yan Wenjing was dumbstruck, and the pig demon was even more so.
"What's going on?"
Ta ta ta ~
A tall, majestic, and handsome horse walked out from the crowd of demons. It raised its hoof and gestured, "Please."
