"Roar——"
"Hiss hiss!"
"Screech——"
North of Beixiong Pass, in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Even in the deep of night, the roars of numerous demons echo continuously, and from the sound, it's not difficult to tell that their mood isn't particularly cheerful.
Every so often, sinister voices emerge, speaking rapidly, as if in exasperation.
If anyone could understand the language of demons, they would grasp the meaning of their words—
"The Divine Will's shadow emerged from here earlier, find him!"
"Damn bastard! A human dares to venture into the Ten Thousand Mountains! If I catch him, I'll tear him limb from limb, skin him, pull out his tendons, crush his bones and scatter his ashes!"
"Where is Cangmu?! Have it unleash its Divine Skills, mobilize the forest of the Ten Thousand Mountains to find that mongrel!"
"There's still a trace of the Divine Will here, pursue! He can't have gone far!"
As the roars gradually fade into the distance, the outline of shadows amidst towering woods can be vaguely seen under the moonlight.
Terrifying forms of giant demon tools reveal themselves, and strands of mountain-thick demon energy spread outward from between the mountains.
To neither sky nor earth does a single inch of space escape.
But deep within the mountains, unlike the tumultuous clamor outside, it is instead extremely silent.
Like a deathly stillness, without a trace of sound.
Or rather, not a single demon dares to make a sound here.
Here, the lush woods are replaced by towering peaks, jagged rocks covering the mountainsides, with almost no place to set foot.
Atop these peaks are vast palaces made of golden jade, each one radiantly glorious even under the moonlight.
These peaks are spaced hundreds or thousands of feet apart, varying in height, yet follow a rule, gradually increasing in height from the outside in.
The peak at the center reaches unfathomable heights, as if overlooking all life, nothing able to gaze upon it.
Of course, the palace atop this peak is the largest and most magnificent of all.
Xiao Lan stands outside the side hall of this palace, a long corridor paved with golden jade extending outward, suspended on the peak position.
At this moment, her expression is somewhat timid, her hands and feet slightly drawn in, even the pure white tail behind her hanging low.
Despite wearing a lavish gown clearly crafted by the hands of a Ming craftsman, she still can't hide her restraint, just as she was during the meeting with Chen Yi at the "Xunwang Order."
In fact, Xiao Lan doesn't wish to be here, at least not in this moment.
As a half-demon, even with the bloodline of Fengyue Demon Emperor, her status in this palace, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, remains awkward.
Heavens have mercy, no one cares about her thoughts.
Oh no, those Great Demons possessing a flicker of mind do care about her... standing before Fengyue Demon Emperor.
The Fengyue Demon Emperor truly lives up to the name of Demon Emperor.
A golden mane drapes over the shoulders, the long end trailing on the pristine golden jade slab, underneath is a purple long dress, the sheer material faintly revealing voluptuous majesty.
Her appearance is identical to Xiao Lan's, from the exterior only a few years more mature than Xiao Lan, resembling twins more than mother and daughter.
But her demeanor is stern and fierce, plus the deep red demon energy tinged with gold threads around her, giving her an imposing presence far surpassing Xiao Lan.
"A noisy night... how long has it been since the mountains were so lively?"
Xiao Lan timidly bites her lip, not daring to speak, shyly raising her head slightly, only using her lower gaze to look at the back of Fengyue Demon Emperor.
"A Great Power in the Divine Power Realm hid in the mountains for so long yet wasn't discovered by those fools, huh, this Demon Court has fallen."
"If this continues, they should all be sent to Beixiong Pass to be snacks for those from the south... that'd be good too, save the treasures of the mountains from being wasted."
"I actually listened to their words, believed those fools, how could they possibly let the Demon Court reclaim the Tianyuan Continent?"
"If not for the vile humans doing something to force him to show up, wouldn't this Demon Court have become someone else's backyard?"
"Trash, waste, scum, bastards..."
One after another, extremely insulting words continuously spew from Fengyue Demon Emperor's mouth.
For those who don't know, they'd think she recently returned from deep study among the common folk of Kyoto Prefecture... a shrew.
Xiao Lan is long used to it.
From birth, whenever her mother encountered something unpleasant, she'd say mad words.
At first, she thought it was a compulsory lesson for each Demon Emperor learned from the Human Race, but later she happened to hear that Fengyue Demon Emperor first encountered Wei people before she was born.
Which means, it was her unseen father who turned her mother into the crude person she is today.
Seeing that Fengyue Demon Emperor seemed poised to continue her tirade, Xiao Lan couldn't help but think of half an hour ago, when a crimson shadow suddenly occupied the entire night sky, awakening nearly all demons within the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Moreover, she was quite surprised to discover that the reason for the shadow's appearance was not to harm the Demon Court, but to communicate across infinite distance with someone within Wei Dynasty in the south.
She had heard the name of the Great Master, as Demon Kings within the Demon Court occasionally discussed this title.
It is said that the Great Master rose to prominence hundreds of years ago, never having faced demons in person, nor having stepped beyond Beixiong Pass, always remaining in Kyoto Prefecture defending the Wei Dynasty Imperial City.
According to rumors from several Demon Kings, especially from Liao Ai "Black Impermanence," who often travels between the Wei Dynasty and the Demon Court, the Great Master's cultivation runs deep.
