After the battle, the ground was littered with corpses and devastation.
However, the demon beasts that survived Howling Moon Mountain were all excited as they picked up all sorts of spoils of war from the ground.
They had won this battle!
Initially, Howling Moon Mountain was already in a precarious state and could be destroyed at any moment.
However, the appearance of a single person reversed the tides of the battle!
The demons raised their heads and looked at the figure on the peak of Howling Moon Mountain with respect and an uncontrollable fervor in their eyes.
In the world of demons, the strong reigned supreme!
After this battle, the rise of Howling Moon Mountain was inevitable and nobody could stop it!
The Rat King puffed his chest and shuttled through the crowd with a domineering air.
From time to time, lesser demons would gather around with fawning expressions and offer up their spoils of war.
Indeed, he had a reason to be domineering.
No matter what, he was the one who brought Su Zimo over from the ancient battlefield.
Among the demons, he was also the first to get acquainted with Su Zimo.
That alone was enough to prove that his position among the demons was unshakeable!
On the peak.
Monkey, Linghu and Qing Qing arrived covered in blood – some of it belonged to others and some of it belonged to them.
"Caw, caw! Awesome!"
Monkey licked his lips and grinned, as though he could not feel the pain on his body.
After he became a fiend demon, there was finally a huge battle that he could enjoy.
Together with Linghu and Qing Qing, he chased after the fiend demons of Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave for dozens of kilometers before returning.
Although Little Fox was already used to life in the forest, she did not enjoy killing. After the demon beasts of the two territories fled, she stopped chasing and arrived beside Su Zimo.
"Go and rest first and recuperate well,"
Su Zimo smiled. "There might be a few more battles in the coming days."
He was already prepared to head to Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave to take over those two territories as well after a period of time!
Be it a Territorial Lord or an Overlord, the larger the territory, the better.
The larger the territory, the more demon beasts they would have under them.
It also meant that there would be more resources such as universal treasures, spirit herbs and ores in the territory!
"Territorial Lord, thank you for protecting Howling Moon Mountain,"
Hei Lang bowed deeply to Su Zimo.
Without Su Zimo, the outcome of today's battle would have been completely different.
Howling Moon Mountain would be divided between Black Sand Ridge, Cyclone Cave and Ghastly River and would cease to exist.
But now that Ghastly River had submitted, Howling Moon Mountain's territory had more than doubled!
At that thought, Black Wolf's gaze shifted towards Solitary Cloud instinctively.
It was understandable that the Territorial Lords of Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave had lost.
It was just that he was not strong enough.
Among them, the strangest one was the Overlord of Ghastly River.
The other two lords still had a trace of hope, so they turned around and fled. This one was really straightforward, he actually chose to submit.
Right then, Solitary Cloud said, "Territorial Lord, I see that you're alone. You don't have a mount?"
"Yes."
Su Zimo nodded and didn't think too much about it.
"That's good!"
Solitary Cloud was delighted and said hurriedly, "Territorial Lord, let me be your mount then!"
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were wondering why Solitary Cloud would submit all of a sudden and if there was any scheme behind it. When they heard that, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
This was no longer considered as submission.
It was practically sprawling on the ground!
Which demon beast would take the initiative to request to be the mount of another?
It was understandable that Solitary Cloud would follow a peerless expert or an Overlord. However, this was a low-level fiend demon!
"There's no need for that,"
Su Zimo waved it off. "You're the Deputy Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain. Wouldn't your status be much lower if you were to become my mount?"
"It's fine, it's fine,"
Solitary Cloud waved it off hurriedly. "I don't want to be the Deputy Territorial Lord. I'll be your mount!"
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were stunned when they heard that.
Solitary Cloud was the most arrogant person in the surrounding territories.
As a pure-blooded ferocious beast, he did have the right to be arrogant.
However, what was going on right now?
The difference in attitude before and after was way too great!
Could it be that he could obtain some sort of tremendous benefits by becoming the mount of a Territorial Lord?
That thought was fleeting and the two of them did not think too much about it.
In reality, there were indeed immense benefits for Solitary Cloud if he were to become Su Zimo's mount!
After Solitary Cloud guessed Su Zimo's true form and became the latter's mount, he would be able to accompany the latter and cultivate together with him.
Even if he could absorb a little bit of the aura of Dragons, it would bring unimaginable benefits to Solitary Cloud's cultivation!
Dragons!
They were existences that reigned supreme in the primordial era!
In Solitary Cloud's opinion, as a Dragon, Su Zimo must have come to this remote place to be a Territorial Lord for a moment of playfulness.
Once he was done playing, he would definitely return.
If he could follow Su Zimo and return to the sacred ground of Dragons, the chances of him transforming into a dragon would be much greater!
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and guessed Solitary Cloud's thoughts.
"Are you sure?"
Su Zimo smiled gently with a strange gaze.
"I'm sure! I won't go back on my word!"
Solitary Cloud nodded hurriedly. "I'm willing to swear a blood oath to follow you for life, forever …"
"There's no need,"
Su Zimo waved it off and interrupted him. "If you're willing, it's up to you."
"Thank you, master!"
Solitary Cloud had already changed the way he addressed Su Zimo.
"Your position as Deputy Territorial Lord will not change. Go back and recuperate before preparing to attack Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave!" Su Zimo said in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
Solitary Cloud bowed in response.
Su Zimo stood on the peak of the mountain with monkey, Linghu, Qing Qing and Little Fox standing behind him.
Su Zimo's scarlet hair draped over his shoulders as he looked into the distance with a deep gaze and murmured, "From this day forth, the five of us are going to lead a carefree life."
Su Zimo gazed towards the north with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He was far away from his homeland and might not be able to return within a short period of time.
"Qing Qing, look! I dug out this beautiful string of pearls from a pile of corpses painstakingly! It's the best match for your face!"
"Get lost! Don't disgust me!"
"Hehe, Brother Hu doesn't know how to coax people," Little Tanuki teased with a smile.
When he heard the laughter around him, the melancholy in Su Zimo's eyes dissipated and he smiled in a carefree manner.
At the very least, he had monkey, Linghu, Qing Qing and Little Fox by his side – he would have less of a headache in the future.
Thousand Demon Valley was destined to experience a turbulent storm because of the five of them!
A month later.
The army of Howling Moon Mountain split into two groups. Su Zimo and Solitary Cloud led one group each and headed for Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave!
Solitary Cloud fought the demons of Cyclone Cave for half a day and they submitted.
Su Zimo descended upon Black Sand Ridge and killed half of the Black Scorpion race, causing the demons of Black Sand Ridge to submit!
Thereafter, in less than half a year, Howling Moon Mountain integrated Black Sand Ridge and Cyclone Cave completely and their territory expanded rapidly!
Howling Moon Mountain's reputation soared!
In the following period of time, Howling Moon Mountain had a few more battles with the nearby territories that ended in complete victory!
Howling Moon Mountain's territory expanded once more!
Mo's reputation skyrocketed.
Many experts were attracted by his reputation and joined one after another, causing the power of Howling Moon Mountain to grow gradually.
Later on, Su Zimo rarely appeared.
With Solitary Cloud, Black Wolf and the other demons presiding over the situation, it was enough for Howling Moon Mountain to continue developing normally.
Time passed and the world changed.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
