After hearing Qin Xiangjun's warning, Chen Mu's gaze tightened slightly, but then his heart settled again.
"If that Mountain Lord dares leave the mountains, the Military Command's experts will deal with him."
"What good would worrying do me?"
Hearing Chen Mu laugh aloud and speak so freely, Qin Xiangjun could not help curling her lips slightly.
Chen Mu was right. The Military Command did indeed keep a constant watch on the Mangdang Mountain Lord.
That was also one reason he had not dared leave the mountains this winter.
But there was something she had left unsaid.
Unlike the rumors circulating outside, that Mountain Lord was not timid or afraid. He was cultivating in seclusion deep in the mountains, seeking a breakthrough.
The Demon Suppression Bureau had long since put him on its register and paid him considerable attention, knowing full well that he was no ordinary foe.
This tiger demon called himself a demon king, but in truth, he was still stuck at the peak of transformation, in the same realm as Yan Qing.
His accumulated cultivation and innate divine abilities were simply a cut above.
Moreover, he had once done Yan Qing a kindness. Only thus could he command Yan Qing to serve under him while he remained hidden deep in the mountains, cultivating.
Even so, a great demon at the peak of transformation could already rival a Martial Grandmaster.
Taking another step forward was immensely difficult.
Only when a demon core formed a hundred pill patterns would one truly reach the realm of a demon king.
Demons in this realm all possessed distinguished origins and lineages.
Most could trace their ancestry to divine beasts, exotic species, or the ancient Demon Court's bloodlines. After breaking through to the King Realm, they could manifest all manner of wondrous phenomena.
