"These Mortal Cultivators think they can deal with the Mountain King simply because they are many, but sadly, they have all turned into a pile of dry bones, becoming a feast within the Mountain King’s belly."
"If only the Great Yan Dynasty could be a bit more foolish, it would be best if they sent some more Holy Fire Guards here. Hahahaha!"
If someone were here, they would be shocked to discover that the being uttering these words was actually a person!!
But this person was very different from the ordinary common folk.
This person was at least three meters tall.
The hair on his head was a wild mess, as if it hadn’t been combed or washed for hundreds of years. His face was covered with a dense, bushy beard, which almost concealed his entire face.
The most eye-catching feature was his neck, which bore a circle of scars, making one wonder if his head had ever been chopped off.
Moreover, there was an extremely oppressive aura emanating from his body, an aura that made the kneeling evil spirit tremble incessantly.
It seemed as if with just a slight increase in that Aura, such an evil spirit would disperse soul and spirit alike.
Truly an image of utmost terror!
"Great... Great King," the kneeling evil spirit asked weakly, suppressing the fear in its heart, "There’s something I’ve always been puzzled about. Why does the Great King always choose the night of the full moon to take action?"
"Humph, that is to avoid the Immortal Gods above!" The towering Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain scoffed, "During that time, the smoky vapors of the mortal realm are the thickest. At that moment, when the Immortal Gods gaze upon the mortal realm, they are blinded by a layer of mist."
"This layer of mist blocks their prying and perception of the mortal world. Moreover, each full moon night is a day of rest for the Yin Envoys of the Underworld."
At this point, a hideous smile spread across the face of the Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain, "It is only at this time, when we take action, that we will not be discovered by them."
The kneeling evil spirit suddenly understood!
Although it didn’t know why the Mountain King knew so much about the Immortal Gods, it knew that all it needed to do was to keep lavishly praising the Mountain King, "The King is wise and martial! The King’s strategic brilliance is truly astounding!!"
It eagerly bootlicked.
"Humph!" The Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain seemed quite pleased with such flattery, and he continued, "You little devils must also be curious about why I instruct you to target only those people who travel at night rather than those who stay at home."
The kneeling evil spirit nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken, indeed curious but afraid to ask.
The Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain and his minions have never sought to trouble those who stayed in their homes.
This behavior not only puzzled the local commoners but also themselves.
"That’s called caution!" said the Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain, "What if some family is worshiping a godly statue? What if that statue possesses a hint of divinity?"
"If it catches us red-handed, the trouble would be serious, it would be nothing less than an Immortal God coming to our doorstep."
The evil spirit was dumbfounded by this revelation, "Are we mere evil spirits worthy of a personal visit from the Immortal Gods?"
Isn’t that like using a cleaver to kill a chicken?
Or even like mobilizing an army to kill a chicken!
Isn’t that an exaggeration? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Humph... That’s something you don’t need to know!" The Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain steered clear of the topic and shifted the conversation, "Remember, when the full moon night comes, you are to capture some merchants. Keep in mind, I don’t want those poor folks, only those who are rich or powerful. If you really can’t find those types, those commoners who don’t look so pale and emaciated will do as well."
"Do you despise the common poor because their meat is too scanty?" the evil spirit asked timidly out of curiosity.
The Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain, sitting cross-legged, casually spitting thick phlegm aside, said, "What I despise is that poor folks’ meat is too bitter, not as sweet and tender as those with fine skin and tender flesh."
"The first time I ate those poor people, it was so bitter I thought my teeth would fall out; I’ve never tasted something so bitter in my life!" He spoke with a tone filled with disdain.
The evil spirit then realized, raising a thumb in flattery, "No one knows how to enjoy life quite like the Great King does!"
"Hahaha!!" The Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain laughed, "When the time comes, the flesh and blood of those prey will belong to me, and their souls and all the rest, I’ll bestow upon you little devils!"
"Many thanks, Great King!"
The evil spirit was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Ever since following the Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain, their days had become more and more indulgent. These evil spirits, which on normal days could hardly capture a single living person, could gorge themselves on the full moon night.
All they had to do was incessantly flatter the Great King day after day and help him with some tasks.
In fact, they did not even know where this Great King had come from; he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere on Wuxia Mountain.
