Li Xingge and Li Changsheng

"Fox Lord, the traitorous Crimson Flame Bear Lord is dead. For now, you will lead the Demon Race of Mist Mountain."

"Me?"

The Three-tailed Fox Lord froze, apparently never expecting that a pie falling from the sky would land right on its head.

After all, among the Demon Lords left on Mist Mountain, its strength was only middling at best.

Its breathing grew rapid.

It hurriedly lowered its head, its voice trembling with excitement. "Many thanks, envoy! Many thanks, State Governor! This old fox will not fail you. I will devote all of Mist Mountain's strength to serving the State Governor!"

The other Demon Lords looked at the Three-tailed Fox Lord with envy.

Li Xingzong had chosen the Three-tailed Fox Lord to lead the Demon Race of Mist Mountain for the time being only after careful consideration.

First, the Three-tailed Fox Lord had been the greatest contributor to the slaying of the Crimson Flame Bear Lord.

Second, the Three-tailed Fox Lord was clever and knew how to read the situation.

Only demons who knew how to read the situation would avoid taking the wrong path.

And right now, the Li Family was the very road that led to the heavens.

The news of the Crimson Flame Bear Lord's death spread, leaving the demons trembling with fear. They understood who truly ruled over them.

Li Xingzong's subsequent recruitment went exceptionally smoothly, and the mission was completed perfectly.

Green Maple Valley.

Atop the mountain behind the valley, fierce winds howled.

Sage Xuanji's increasingly solid Divine Soul sat cross-legged in midair. Before him floated a palm-sized formation plate.

Runes flowed across the plate, releasing a terrifying aura.

"Coalesce!"

Sage Xuanji let out a low shout and formed hand seals.

In an instant, all of Green Maple Valley shook violently.

From every corner
