Chapter 61

Time slowly passed.

The sky gradually brightened.

The expression on the face of the Silver Moon Demon Emperor grew increasingly grim. Although its realm was roughly the same as Yao Mengji's, Yao Mengji had the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Heavenly Heart Lute, which provided a significant boost. It was almost unable to hold on any longer.

It looked at Yao Mengji and asked, unwillingly, "Yao Mengji, did I offend some great person?"

Yao Mengji smiled coldly, "Haha, you are not worthy to know the name of the great person!"

"You..."

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor's face darkened, as if his lungs were about to burst with anger.

However, it did not dare to act rashly and could only endure, saying, "Yao Mengji, if you let me go, I will tell you of a great opportunity!"

"Hmm?" Yao Mengji looked at him.

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor said, "I know you took the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, but do you know that three years ago, it was just a six-tailed spirit fox? In just three short years, it transformed from a six-tailed fox to a nine-tailed one and successfully transcended the heavenly tribulation. It must have encountered a great opportunity!"

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun's expressions suddenly changed.

They looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

Without a doubt, the great opportunity the Silver Moon Demon Emperor spoke of was undoubtedly due to Young Master Li.

Originally, they only thought that Young Master Li had saved the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox from the heavenly tribulation, but they never imagined that the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was actually shaped by Young Master Li!

Such a feat was truly terrifying, befitting a great figure!

"Is that all?"

Yao Mengji looked at the Silver Moon Demon Emperor with a sympathetic gaze. It still did not know that the reason it offended the great person was because of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and that the so-called opportunity was merely something the great person casually bestowed.

Perhaps this was the tragedy of being an ant.

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor's heart sank, "Such an opportunity is definitely related to becoming an immortal. Is this not enough?"

"Do not resist. The great person will definitely take your life. There are some things I cannot tell you, for fear that you would be scared to death," Yao Mengji said indifferently.

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor's face was full of humiliation as it roared, "Yao Mengji, we have no grudges or enmity. Why do you mock me?!"

I, the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, have been invincible for over four thousand years. Was I raised to be scared?

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor's heart sank to the bottom. It was certain that this old man was mad and would not stop until he killed it.

The so-called great person was likely just an excuse he made up. How could such a great person exist in this world?

Biting its lip, it spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Its demonic power surged instantly, and it swallowed its demon core back into its abdomen. Spreading its wings, it transformed into a streak of light and shot off into the distance.

"Where are you going, demon? Chase!"

Yao Mengji quickly put away the Heavenly Heart Lute and rode his flying light to pursue.

However, the Silver Moon Demon Emperor was known for its speed, and Yao Mengji found it difficult to catch up for a while.

At the same time.

Li Nianfan and Daji had already left the courtyard and were enjoying a walk in the mountains.

"Those cultivators are finally gone. It was so annoying to have them running around here all day, making me stay cooped up at home. It was so uncomfortable," Li Nianfan sighed in relief, feeling refreshed.

He had carefully observed for three days and confirmed that the cultivators had indeed left before daring to go out.

He carried a newly made horn bow on his shoulder and a specially made quiver of arrows on his back, ready to try his hand at hunting.

However, he soon discovered a problem.

Due to the cultivators' sweep, the wild game in this area had clearly decreased significantly. After walking for half a day, they did not even encounter a small rabbit.

"Those damned cultivators, they are like locusts!" Li Nianfan, feeling helpless, decided to head to a more distant mountain, with Daji by his side and Dahu leading the way.

Daji's performance caught Li Nianfan's attention.

She, a frail woman, was not afraid and calmly followed him, unlike the usual delicate and easily fatigued young ladies.

Indeed, he had found her in the mountains, so she must have grown up in the forest.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also hardworking and resilient, truly a rare and excellent young woman.

"Woof woof woof!"

At that moment, Dahu, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and barked a few times at Li Nianfan, then ran off quickly.

Li Nianfan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed, "There's prey ahead! Dahu, slow down, don't scare it away!"

However, Dahu ran faster and faster.

"This silly dog!"

...

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor was desperately fleeing, its eyes fixed on the path ahead, which suddenly narrowed.

Hmm?

On the cliff ahead, there was a black dot. Upon closer inspection, it was an ordinary black dog, looking at it with a world-dominating gaze.

"Where did this silly dog come from, daring to block the path of this Demon Emperor?" The Silver Moon Demon Emperor frowned and sneered, "Get out of the way, and I might spare your dog life!"

Dahu remained unmoved, its black fur fluttering in the wind. Its mouth slowly opened, "Self-destruct your demon core, or I will have to act."

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor laughed in rage, a sense of sorrow rising in its heart, "Truly, a fallen eagle is bullied by dogs. I, the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, who has dominated the demon world for over four thousand years, am now being challenged by a mere dog demon."

If it were any other time, it would have casually killed the dog demon, but now, in a hurry to escape, it had no time to deal with it.

Once I escape this crisis, I will make a full dog feast!

It spread its wings, preparing to fly past.

However, the black dog slowly raised its paw.

Boom!

In the sky, a massive dog paw shadow condensed, casting a shadow over the heavens, and with overwhelming pressure, it pressed down on the Silver Moon Demon Emperor.

"Quack?"

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor was so frightened that it let out a squawk, its feathers standing on end like a porcupine, looking at the dog paw with eyes full of despair.

It could not move, only trembling, "Dog Lord, spare my life!"

Boom!

The dog paw mercilessly struck it, not killing it outright but forcing it to open its mouth, from which a golden demon core flew out.

Dahu's mouth slightly opened, and the demon core was sucked into its belly, like eating a candy, crunching it down.

Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun were nearby, both with their eyes wide open and mouths forming an "O."

Witnessing everything, they were terrified and their minds went blank.

They very much wanted to turn and run, but they were paralyzed with fear, unable to move.

Originally, they were chasing the Silver Moon Demon Emperor closely, never dreaming that such a powerful dog demon would appear.

The Silver Moon Demon Emperor was like an infant before it.

Too terrifying, too shocking.

Such a dog demon was simply unheard of. Could it be a celestial dog?

At that moment, the black dog turned its head, its eyes calmly staring at the two of them...
