In the ancestral hall, they fell silent for a long time.
After pausing for a moment, Qin Manyun asked weakly, “Teacher, is Mistress…gone?”
Yao Mengji looked around and said, “She should be gone now.”
“Sect Master, I mean no offense but our Mistress is…” Zhou Dacheng said in a low voice filled with suspicion, “…she stole from us!”
Another long silence…
The Big Elder said, “Dacheng’s right!”
“So bad!”
“We’re so unlucky to have such an ancestor!”
“Life’s already hard enough. Now it’s even harder!”
“Look outside. The disciples still look excited. They think our ancestor’s very powerful! They want to worship her!”
“Sigh, a bunch of ignorant people.”
…
“Alright, stop talking,” Yao Mengji said.
“Knowing my ancestor, if she had anything of value, she would’ve flaunted it to us right away. It’s apparent that she’s not doing so well herself in the Immortal Land. Let’s not talk about it. Life’s hard enough.”
Yao Mengji continued, “The reason why our standards are high is mainly due to us meeting the expert. Therefore, we must maintain our connection. Since the honey from the expert saved our ancestor, we should go over to thank him, regardless if the expert predicted it or not.”
The Big Elder said, “Mengji’s right.”
Zhou Dacheng nodded and said with a worried tone, “Of course, we have to thank him. Now we need to think of what to bring him.”
Yao Mengji frowned. “Manyun, your understanding of him is good. Help me think of what to give him?”
Instantly, everyone was deep in thought.
“The expert’s way beyond our realms. Even the most precious thing to us is ordinary to him. If we don’t have the ability, we don’t have to think of giving him fancy things.” Qin Manyun analyzed the situation little by little, layer by layer. “We can decide by thinking about what the expert likes, his interest, and needs. The most important key is sincerity!”
The Big Elder agreed, “Manyun’s right.”
Everyone fell into another long silence.
“Interest wise, the expert seems to really like wild meat…”
Yao Mengji mumbled to himself. Suddenly, a flash appeared in his eyes. He cried out, “That’s it! Wild animals! Manyun, do you remember the last time we visited the expert and how he wanted to eat the Firefinch Demon? In the end, he didn’t eat it because it started laying eggs! The expert seemed rather unsatisfied!”
“Yes, yes!” Qin Manyun nodded. “The expert must’ve been disappointed! Let’s bring a wild animal over. But, what animal? It must be good enough to show our sincerity
She started analyzing again. She asked, “Teacher, you said the expert used a boar to help you pass your Cross Tribulation. Does this mean that the expert’s in contact with the demons around him?”
Yao Mengji nodded. “Most likely. After all, Miss Daji’s a nine-tailed fox, so it’s not surprising for her to be in contact with the demons around them.”
“During my last trip, I heard that there have been demons and demonic spirits all over the Southern Mountain area. It seems that the Sky Boar King’s gathering demons in preparation to take the throne of the deceased Silver Moon Demon King. They’re about to attack,” Qin Manyun said with a cheerful tone, her eyes sparkling. “If they attack, they’ll surely disturb the expert’s peace. They might even harm the demons around the expert!”
Yao Mengji became excited again. He said, “The Sky Boar King is a demon at the peak of the Combination realm, very close to Cross Tribulation. The demons under him shouldn’t be taken lightly. Even if we fight them together, it might take some effort…but the harder it is, the more sincere we are!”
Qin Manyun smiled and said, “We can’t keep waiting for the expert’s hint. We have to be intuitive to his needs. This is called improvement! A gift like this would be able to impress the expert. It’ll show him how much we care!”
The smile on the Big Elder’s face bloomed like a flower. He nodded hastily, “Mengji and Manyun’s right!”
Zhou Dacheng was already in the air. He said, “What’re you all waiting for? Hurry up. We need to kill this Sky Boar King!”
The others gradually flew up into the air and joined him. “Let’s go, let’s go!”
…
In the deep end of the forest at the Southern Mountain.
Demon Spirits were all over the area, engulfing the entire forest. Due to this, the sky had turned rather dark. The forest, ground, river, and even the sky were filled with demons looming around as if it was an army base of demons. It made one’s scalp itch in fear.
A Wild Boar Demon stood at the peak of the mountain. Its fur was spiky like a sword, exuding a deep aura of demonic spirit. It glared at the demons below him with power and authority.
Its voice sounded like thunder as it growled, “Everyone, I’ve gathered you all here today to prepare for our attack on the Silver Moon Demon King’s territory. We’re taking over all the demons there to secure my throne!”
“All hail the Boar Demon King! All hail the Boar Demon King!”
“Ha-ha, the stupid Silver Moon Demon King eagle died mysteriously. I even thought of making a soup with its body at some point!” the Boar Demon King scoffed coldly. “It got lucky!”
It laughed wildly and glanced around. “I heard there isn’t just a nine-tailed fox, but there’s also a seven-tailed fox. Is that true?”
The demons shifted around nervously. Only a few small demons went forward. “To answer the Boar Demon King’s question… After the death of the Silver Moon Demon King, we ran over here to serve you. There is indeed a seven-tailed fox. We took part in catching it.”
“Oh? Ha-ha-ha! Very well!” The Boar Demon King’s eyes flickered. “As the saying goes in our family, the demon king deserves a nine-tailed fox! It’ll become my wife in no time! Listen up. Attack the Fallen Immortal Mountain, catch the seven-tailed fox alive!”
“Attack the Fallen Immortal Mountain, catch the seven-tailed fox alive!”
“Attack the Fallen Immortal Mountain, catch the seven-tailed fox alive!”
…
Screams filled the air.
Meanwhile, countless orbs of light raced toward the sound. They did not even have to look around much. They raced toward all the screaming.
“As expected, you’re planning to attack the Fallen Immortal Mountain. I won’t forgive you. I’m here to take your lives”
A sound struck down from above. Qin Manyun and the rest were waiting in the air above the forest. Each of them had an instrument in their hands. They were about to play a song.
“Hmm?” The Boar Demon King’s eyes narrowed. Its voice was extremely cold when it said, “What do you mean? I don’t know you. Why don’t we mind our own business?”
Yao Mengji scoffed coldly, “Ha-ha, your thinking is very dangerous, so you must die!”
The Boar Demon King was agitated. “How dare you! Do you think I, the Boar Demon King, can be easily bullied?”
“Cut the nonsense! We’ve reserved your boar meat!” Zhou Dacheng could not hold back any longer. His five fingers strummed the instrument.
Dong!
Instantly, the sound washed over them like a wave, drowning all the demons below.
“How dare you!”
The Boar Demon King let out a boar howl and turned into its original form. It had black skin and was very muscular. Its two long, thick fangs were sharp and glowing.
It jumped into the air and howled in a low voice, “Demons, kill them all!”
Instantly, the music became more fierce as lights flashed in the air. Demon Spirits were all over the place. The scene was chaotic.
The shocking and surprising battle started without any warning.
In the forest, the surrounding trees were instantly flattened. Even the weaker trees a hundred miles from them were blown away.
Half an hour later, Yao Mengji and the rest carried a big wild boar in their hands. They turned into orbs of light and flew toward the Fallen Immortal Mountain…
