n“Oh,”

nThe old ape let out a deep breath and raised his chin slightly. “Howling Moon Mountain, I’ve heard of it before. That’s the fastest rising territory for the past hundred years.”

nThe Rat King and everyone else was spirited, feeling as though they were honored.

nSu Zimo had a calm expression.

nHe could not figure out the old ape’s intentions still.

n“Come over and let me have a look,”

nThe old ape’s cloudy gaze was fixed on Su Zimo’s group as he raised his hand and beckoned weakly.

nMonkey turned to Su Zimo questioningly.

nThe old ape gave off a mysterious feeling and monkey felt his hairs stand on end when he was swept by the former’s gaze!

nHe was asking Su Zimo internally if there was anything wrong with the situation and whether they should kill their way out!

nRight now, they were standing at the back of all the demons; they might stand a chance if they turned to flee.

nSu Zimo shook his head gently.

nWho could escape right in front of an Overlord?

nAlthough this Overlord was old, he had five protectors behind him!

nSu Zimo took a deep breath and led the way through the other demons.

nThere were many fiend demons in the surroundings that scrutinized Su Zimo’s group with vicious and evil gazes.

nSome of the fiend demons extended their grisly red tongues or bared their fangs and claws, hoping to embarrass Su Zimo’s group into making a fool of themselves.

nAlthough it was a short several hundred meters, the Rat King was scared out of his wits and was already drenched with sweat.

nEven Solitary Cloud felt uneasy and his breathing became hurried, let alone the Rat King.

nIf somebody gave an order for the group of demons to swarm them, they would be shredded into pieces instantly!

nAmong the group, Su Zimo was the only one with an indifferent expression and advanced nonchalantly!

nThere was a hint of admiration in the old ape’s eyes.

nThis man’s boldness was unmatched by everyone around him!

nAn odd sensation rose in Su Zimo’s heart.

nThere were two reasons why the old ape asked them to advance. First, he wanted to check out Su Zimo’s background. Second, he was interested in monkey!

nBefore long, Su Zimo’s group arrived at the raised platform and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ten Great Territorial Lords!

nYing Li stood right beside him.

nSu Zimo could clearly sense the vicious gazes coming from the side. Ying Li was not the only one – the fiend demons behind him revealed killing intent as well!

nThe old ape glared at Su Zimo a while longer and asked, “You are the Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain?”

n“Yes.”

nSu Zimo replied.

nThe old ape smiled. “You must be quite capable to become a Territorial Lord as a low-level fiend demon. Very well, you have a bright future ahead of you.”

n“You’re being too kind, senior,”

nAlthough he was facing an Overlord, Su Zimo’s attitude was neither servile nor overbearing the entire time.

nHowever, Su Zimo regretted his reply immediately after.

nThe word ‘senior’ was common in the cultivation world.

nHowever, almost no demon would use that term in the world of demons; the sudden mention of the word did seem rather striking.

nSu Zimo shifted his gaze and it was obvious that the old ape was frowning slightly.

nThe demons around might not think much about a small issue as such.

nHowever, there was a high chance that the old ape would turn suspicious!

nHe had lived for a long time and was no fool, having experienced countless schemes and storms.

nAlthough Su Zimo was silent, he was reminding himself internally.

nThis was not Howling Moon Mountain and he had to be careful in the future!

n“So, it’s you bunch of ants,”

nRight then, a sneer sounded beside him.

nYing Li turned around with a cold gaze and said frostily, “I remembered warning you guys outside Ape Chatter Ridge earlier on not to let me see you again. Yet, here you are. I guess you guys really wish to die, huh?”

n“Insolent!”

nA protector behind the old ape stood out and hollered.

nThe burly man had a pale face without any beard. However, his body was mighty and his eyes were round like bells. With a resounding voice, his holler was filled with overwhelming might!

nThe pale-faced burly man glared at Ying Li coldly and said, “Do you think you’re in a position to speak when the Overlord is speaking? Back down!”

nThe demons present were all silent when the Overlord was conversing with someone.

nEven the protectors present could not interrupt casually, let alone a mid-level fiend demon like Ying Li.

nYing Li was so frightened that he shirked his neck immediately after he was berated by the pale-faced burly man.

nAfter all, this was a high-level fiend demon that could squash him to death with a single finger!

nHowever, Ying Li glanced behind the old ape and suddenly puffed his chest in a spirited manner, asking loudly, “As one of the Ten Great Territorial Lords, why can’t I speak?”

n“This bunch of ants are merely low-level fiend demons. They truly have a death wish coming here to join the crowd!”

nA commotion broke out among the demons present.

nEarlier on, the old ape praised Su Zimo’s group. Ying Li’s sudden remark meant that he was belittling the Overlord completely!

nThe old ape seemed to be ignorant towards the fight and slumped deeply into his chair with a lowered head; it was as though he had fallen asleep.

nThe pale-faced burly man’s expression darkened. He glared at a protector not far away before turning back and saying coldly, “Ying Li, you sure are bold. Who gave you the guts to ignore our Overlord and go against me?!”

nIt was long rumored that Ying Li was blood related to one of the protectors of Ape Chatter Ridge.

nBy the look of things, that rumor should be true.

nThe pale-faced burly man’s words were clearly targeted at a protector beside him!

nThe protector lowered his gaze like an old monk in meditation and was motionless, as though he could not hear the pale-faced burly man’s accusations.

nThe pale-face burly man was even more furious and stomped with his feet. The raised platform shook and dust flew everywhere as he glared at Ying Li and hollered coldly, “You seem like the one with a death wish!”

nAn overwhelming might surged forward instantly!

nThe threat of a high-level fiend demon was not something that Ying Li could withstand.

nBlood drained from his face and he almost knelt on the ground.

n“Ling’er, that’s too serious,”

nRight then, another protector stood out. He waved his robes and easily purged away the pressure that the pale-faced burly man exerted on Ying Li.

n“Protector Four, what’s the meaning of this?”

nThe pale-faced burly man frowned and questioned the protector beside him, “The reason why Ying Li is so brazen is because someone is backing him up. The Overlord will be disgraced if I don’t punish him!”

n“What are you getting anxious for when our Overlord hasn’t said anything?”

nAnother protector remarked indifferently.

n“Fufu, someone must be used to his overbearing ways because his grandpa is the Overlord. That must be why he does not even allow others to speak,” Another protector said with a strange tone.

n“Protectors Two and Three, you guys?”

nThe pale-faced burly man glared at the few protectors around him in disbelief and trembled with rage.

nAt that point, Su Zimo was enlightened.

nThe pale-faced burly man was the old ape’s grandson and had a direct blood relation with the latter.

nHowever, by the look of things, this was far from a mere issue of the Overlord’s pride.

nIt seemed like something worse was about to happen to Ape Chatter Ridge!

nThe pale-faced burly man sensed that something was amiss as well and glared at the four protectors around him fiercely, questioning in a stern manner, “What are you guys up to today?!”

nRight then, the protector that said nothing right from the beginning suddenly opened his eyes and a cold glint flashed.

nHe approached the old ape’s side and patted the latter on the shoulder gently, sighing. “Overlord, you’ve grown old.”

n
