Chapter 56

Another one is dead; this is the third demon general to die.

Yang Qifeng felt a chill inside, transformed into a mosquito, and gently clung to a leaf.

His eyes, sharp and clear, scrutinized the distant corpse.

The body was abnormally large, that of a giant leopard.

Ordinary leopards are about two meters long, but this one was twelve meters long, with a yellow or orange-yellow body covered in black spots or ancient coin-shaped black rings.

Its body was slender, with thick, short, and powerful limbs, and sharp claws.

Its head was round and large, with a slightly short neck, strong limbs, and slightly larger front limbs than the hind ones, with gray-white sharp claws on the toes.

From Yang Qifeng's perspective, the spaces between the toes and the paw pads were covered with dense, short fur.

This demon general had reached the level of a Yin Spirit, and in Daze Mountain, this was considered a fairly high level, above average.

There were people who could steadily defeat him, but there was no one in Daze Mountain who could kill him.

As a leopard, it had agile limbs, flexible movements, and strong jumping ability. If it wanted to escape, even the Daze Demon Commander would find it difficult to intercept it.

But today, it died, dying without a clear cause.

Among the three dead demon generals, one was killed during the struggle for the Mountain God Seal, while the other two died without a clear cause.

No, that's not entirely accurate.

The leopard's corpse still retained a powerful golden divine force, which was dense and deeply embedded in the bones, unable to dissipate for a moment.

Anyone who saw it at first glance would know that it was pierced through by divine force, which shattered its demon core, leading to its death.

"It's the Daze Land Spirit," a demon general with a tiger head and long whiskers roared upon seeing the divine force on the corpse.

"This matter needs careful consideration," the Daze Demon Commander with a wolf head, who was more composed, did not immediately draw a conclusion.

"Who else could it be? With such pure and strong divine force, and the ability to prevent the leopard brother from escaping, no one other than the Daze Land Spirit, who knows the terrain of Daze Mountain like the back of his hand, could do it."

"Commander, we must take revenge," another demon general shouted.

"I said we need to consider this matter further," the Daze Demon Commander's wolf eyes glared fiercely at everyone, his gaze filled with venom.

The demon generals who were stared at all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the Daze Demon Commander. With a wave of his hand, a green demonic wind appeared, enveloping the leopard's corpse, and he said in a deep voice, "Come to my lair."

He then transformed into a demonic wind and disappeared.

The other demon generals exchanged glances, each using their own abilities to summon demonic winds and disappear.

No one noticed the mosquito perched on a green leaf in a nearby dense tree.

Time passed, and after a long while, about half an hour, Yang Qifeng finally stood up, unfolded his wings, and flew toward his lair, buzzing.

When the sound appeared, he did not immediately transform back but remained in the form of a mosquito.

He began to think. Without a doubt, the dead demon general was not killed by the Daze Land Spirit. Yang Qifeng was one hundred percent sure of this.

The golden divine force, although pure, gave Yang Qifeng a sense of familiarity. After a brief recollection, he recognized where this familiarity came from.

It was the fake Mountain God. That guy wanted to create chaos in Daze Mountain, and with his divine power, he had both the motive and the ability.

The assassin of the Daze Demon Commander, by framing the Daze Land Spirit, used a simple but effective method.

Although the Daze Demon Commander, due to his suspicious nature, had some suspicions, his subordinates were deceived.

The relationship between the Daze Demon Commander and the demon generals was not so close that they would decide life and death at a glance. From Yang Qifeng's observations, it was clear that the Daze Demon Commander's control over the demon generals was weakening.

If the fake Mountain God killed another demon general, it would reach a critical point. At that time, the Daze Demon Commander would have to give them an explanation and declare war on the Daze Land Spirit, which was inevitable.

Unless the Daze Demon Commander was willing to risk being overthrown.

Now that the demon generals were being assassinated one after another, everyone was in a state of fear. The Daze Demon Commander, who had not taken action, naturally disappointed them. When someone raised the call to arms, many would follow, and the primary target would be the Daze Demon Commander.

Yang Qifeng would not stop the battle between the Daze Land Spirit and the Daze Demon Commander.

The fake Mountain God wanted to create chaos in Daze Mountain, and Yang Qifeng had the same goal. He wanted to rise to power, and without chaos in Daze Mountain, there would be no opportunity.

If the Daze Demon Commander and the Daze Land Spirit went to war, the opportunity for Yang Qifeng to act against the Sixth Mountain would arrive.

Upon arriving at the Nineteenth Mountain, Yang Qifeng fell into deep thought. With the deaths of the three demon generals, the Daze Demon Commander, who was originally stronger than the Daze Land Spirit, was now at a disadvantage.

Including the demon general from the Twenty-Ninth Mountain, a total of four demon generals had died.

In contrast, the Daze Land Spirit had suffered little damage, which was clearly the result of the fake Mountain God's deliberate manipulation.

Yang Qifeng became interested in the origins of the fake Mountain God.

What was his relationship with the suppressed Mountain God? Was it as he had guessed, that the Mountain God was suppressed by them?

And what kind of god was this fake Mountain God?

The ability to wield pure divine power indicated that he was a true deity, not a fake.

Many questions filled Yang Qifeng's mind.

At this moment, Yang Qifeng was also concerned about where the real Mountain God had gone.

That person was also decisive. When he saw things were not going well, he did not hesitate to throw out the Mountain God Seal, allowing himself to escape successfully.

Neither the Daze Demon Commander nor the Daze Land Spirit was particularly interested in the Mountain God; they were more interested in the Mountain God Seal. After all, to become a Mountain God, one only needed the Mountain God Seal. The previous Mountain God, having been demoted from his divine position, had the smallest chance of becoming a Mountain God again among everyone.

Dense doubts filled Yang Qifeng's heart.

Especially his fear of the fake Mountain God made him cautious, always looking for ways to respond.

Now Yang Qifeng had seen the other party's goal: to take over Daze Mountain.

How to protect Daze Mountain was the main issue Yang Qifeng had been considering recently.

"You cunning bear, it took me a while to find you!"
