Su Zimo did not bring many people with him for this trip.
Apart from monkey and the other three, there was also Solitary Cloud and the Rat King.
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were left behind at Howling Moon Mountain to guard the territory in case other territories took advantage of the situation.
Solitary Cloud reverted to his true form as a wyrm and Su Zimo and the others rode on his back.
As a pure-blooded ferocious beast and a mid-level fiend demon, there were few demon beasts that were foolish enough to offend them along the way.
Everyone traveled day and night, traversing mountains and ridges, crossing dozens of territories. They only arrived near Ape Chatter Ridge after half a month.
In front of him was a 'magnificent' forest!
The reason why it was majestic was because every single ancient tree in the forest had existed for an unknown period of time.
One after another, they towered into the skies with lush foliage. Their trunks were thick and solid, resembling pillars that connected to the heavens. Vines crawled on top of them like coiling pythons!
Su Zimo and the others were not even as thick as the roots of those ancient trees.
In this forest, the light was dim, making it seem eerie and terrifying!
Solitary Cloud reverted to his human form and everyone descended.
Everyone could not conceal the shock in their eyes as they gazed at the forest before them. For some unknown reason, they felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.
Su Zimo asked, "Solitary Cloud, how much do you know about the Overlord of Ape Chatter Ridge?"
"There are a total of seven Overlords in Thousand Demon Valley. It's said that this fiend ape has reigned for the longest time, perhaps 5,000 years!" Solitary Cloud replied.
5,000 years of reigning!
Su Zimo's expression was grim.
Overlords were not only high-level fiend demons, they were the strongest existences among high-level fiend demons!
They could only reign over an area if their combat strength was superior to those of the same cultivation realm.
He did not know anything about this Overlord and was feeling uneasy about coming here recklessly.
After all, his cultivation realm was at the peak of mid-stage Nascent Soul realm right now.
If he used all his trump cards, he could cross a major cultivation realm and fight against mid-level fiend demons.
However, if he were to face high-level fiend demons, or even the strongest Overlords among high-level fiend demons, Su Zimo would definitely stand no chance of winning!
During the battle at Misty Peak, the old immortal crane broke through her bottleneck and transformed into a high-level fiendish demon.
At that time, Shura had mentioned to Su Zimo that after becoming a high-level fiendish demon, the demon beasts would awaken their innate abilities!
Spiritual energy was inferior to magical energy.
Dharmic powers were no match for divine powers.
This was an absolute suppression in terms of strength!
Su Zimo gazed at the dark and sinister scene before him with a flickering gaze. "Our future is uncertain after entering Ape Chatter Ridge. Everyone, try to keep a low profile and don't be rash!"
Su Zimo rarely exhorted everyone like this.
In Howling Moon Mountain, everyone could do whatever they wanted.
But this was Ape Chatter Ridge!
The master of this territory was a high-tier fiendish demon.
Furthermore, there was definitely more than one high-level fiend demon in this territory!
Apart from Solitary Cloud, most of them were low-level fiend demons and there was a difference of two major cultivation realms between them. The moment a conflict broke out, they would be crushed like ants!
"Sure, sure."
The rat king nodded repeatedly.
Even before entering Ape Chatter Ridge, he was already pale with fright.
Initially, he wanted to broaden his horizons by witnessing the Thousand Demon Meet.
But now, he was already regretting his decision to pay a visit to an Overlord even before the Thousand Demon Meet.
Linghu extended his finger and poked monkey, saying mockingly, "Brother Monkey, I'm talking to you. Don't be rash."
"Get lost!"
Monkey slapped away Linghu's palm.
Although that was the case, monkey knew that he was indeed the most rash in their group.
The reason why Su Zimo was so cautious was not only because he knew nothing about Ape Chatter Ridge, but also because he had a vague feeling.
It was as though he was on a whim.
He had a feeling that something big was about to happen in Ape Chatter Ridge!
"Fufu, which territory is this? Why are a bunch of low-level fiend demons here to join in the fun?"
Suddenly, a stifled laughter sounded from not far away.
Everyone frowned and turned over.
A black wind swept by and after it dissipated, more than a hundred fiend demons appeared. All of them had powerful auras and frightening gazes – all of them were mid-level fiend demons!
Their leader had a scrawny face with an aquiline nose and thin lips. His gaze was sharp and his face was filled with disdain.
Monkey gripped his fists gently and glared at that person with a scarlet glint in the depths of his eyes.
Linghu and the others lamented internally.
Trouble came knocking before they even entered Ape Chatter Ridge.
The other party had many people and every single one of them was a mid-level fiend demon that was extremely strong.
Their chances of winning were not high the moment they fought.
Furthermore, they did not know the background of that group of people and it was truly inadvisable to get into a conflict with them.
Linghu and the others glanced sideways at monkey, afraid that he would get into a conflict with the other party in a fit of rage.
Monkey took a deep breath of air and closed his eyes gradually to endure it.
If it was in the past, he would have charged forward a long time ago when he heard those words and saw the provocation on the other party's face.
No matter how many people they had or what their cultivation realms were, he would fight them till they toppled the world!
Su Zimo was expressionless and lowered his gaze.
"Sir, those puny demons are so scared that they don't even dare to speak!"
"Sir is mighty!"
"Hurry, look at that rat demon! He's so scared that his face is ashen and his legs are trembling. He's truly as timid as a mouse! Hahahaha!"
The fiend demons roared in laughter.
Suddenly, monkey opened his eyes with a menacing expression and bared his teeth slightly. Right as he was about to stand out and speak, the Rat King beside him stood in front of monkey in a flash.
"I-I'm way too timid. Hehe, I've embarrassed myself in front of you, sir."
The Rat King had a humble expression and smiled in a fawning manner.
"Scram! Don't let me see you guys ever again!"
The eagle-nosed man in the lead waved his hand casually and sneered with a disgusted expression, "I'm afraid that killing a puny demon like you will dirty my hands!"
"Y-Y-Yes, sir, you're right," The Rat King bowed and smiled obsequiously.
"Let's go!"
The eagle-nosed man called out and the demons entered Ape Chatter Ridge amidst laughter.
"That seems to be one of the Ten Great Territorial Lords, Ying Li!"
"That's him! Apart from him, who else would dare to act so arrogantly in Ape Chatter Ridge?"
"I heard that the Grand Guardian of Ape Chatter Ridge is related to Ying Li by blood."
"Even without the Grand Guardian, Ying Li is strong enough to be ranked in the top three among the Ten Great Territorial Lords. He's most likely going to advance to become a high-level fiend demon soon."
Su Zimo's expression was calm as he listened to the discussions of the demon beasts around him.
However, Linghu, Solitary Cloud and the others were secretly shocked with a sense of lingering fear.
Monkey frowned as well.
The protectors of Ape Chatter Ridge were completely different from the protectors of Howling Moon Mountain.
If he was not wrong, the protectors of Ape Chatter Ridge should be high-level fiend demons!
"To think that a random fiend demon we bumped into would have such a background," Qing Qing sighed.
Little Fox asked in confusion, "What are the Ten Great Territorial Lords that they're talking about?"
"There are probably hundreds of territories under Ape Chatter Ridge's jurisdiction. Howling Moon Mountain is only one of them,"
Solitary Cloud explained, "Among the hundreds of Overlords, the ten strongest Overlords are the Ten Great Overlords."
"That person has already threatened us to return. If we enter recklessly and bump into them again, I'm afraid …" The Rat King had a worried expression and did not continue.
"It's fine,"
Su Zimo waved it off and said indifferently, "Follow me in."
With that said, he led the way into Ape Chatter Ridge.
