Ah Mo, who was at the side, was also completely stunned.
She was also born in a tribal chief's family that was close to the human race. Because she was a descendant of the devil, she had been very talented since she was young. However, she didn't practice martial arts diligently and was basically taken care of from a young age. Therefore, her martial arts cultivation wasn't high even at the age of 37.
However, she knew about the blood bath and the beast essence pill very well.
Back then, she had completely relied on the blood bath and the beast essence pill to break through to become a Magic Warrior.
Although she had only used the blood of high-grade ferocious beasts, the beast essence pill was of a very high grade. Even so, she had only broken through to become a Magic Warrior from a Martial Warrior that was close to the 10th level. She hadn't even broken through one and a half levels.
Even so, her parents were already very satisfied.
After all, the Magic Warrior was a huge hurdle. She had smoothly passed through the blood bath and the beast essence pill, which was a very good result.
However, Lan Ling had actually increased his strength by 900 kilograms, which meant that he had broken through four and a half levels. This was completely heaven-defying.
This had completely subverted her understanding!
Suo Mo also felt a strong sense of unreality. Lan Ling had only been by his side for two to three months, but he had already broken through from a third-level Martial Warrior to a Great Magic Warrior.
This kind of cultivation speed could no longer be described as heaven-defying. It was simply universally shocking.
In that case, where was the limit of Lan Ling's cultivation in the future? Only God knew.
"Uncle, how far is this place from the Chimera Tribe?" Lan Ling asked.
"About 100 kilometers," Suo Mo said. "There are still 36 hours before the duel."
Lan Ling said, "If I return safely and even defeat Du Yan in the duel, what will Constantine think?"
Suo Mo said, "He will think that you had a fortuitous encounter in the Ghost Realm and will definitely send people to explore the Ghost Realm."
Once Constantine sent people to explore the Ghost Realm, they would discover that there was no longer any danger and that the illusion had disappeared. The illusion of the previous day, the season, and the time flow 100 times faster had all disappeared.
In that case, what would Constantine do?
Once he was sure that the Ghost Realm was safe, he would send troops to occupy the 50-kilometer territory in the Ghost Realm.
Once Constantine sent his troops to occupy the area, Lan Ling would have nothing to do with it. Lan Ling's Flame Devil Tribe would have nowhere to hide.
"I named it Mirror Mountain." Lan Ling said, "The Mirror Mountain is the foundation of our Flame Demon Tribe. This is the starting point of our future Balrog Empire. We definitely cannot lose it."
Solor fell into silence.
Lan Ling was right. Mirror Mountain was the most important. It was the hope of the entire foreign army.
"Right now, a lot of people must think that I'm already dead after entering the Ghost Domain." Lan Ling said, "Therefore, the duel with Du Yan was left unsettled. This is a very good result."
Suo Mo said, "In other words, you won't be going back to fight Du Yan? According to your current cultivation, you have a high chance of defeating him. "
Lan Ling shook his head and said, "Previously, the reason why I risked my life to raise my cultivation was to prove that I can defeat him. Now that I've proven it, it's enough. Mirror Mountain is our only hope. It's much more important than my reputation. Therefore, I won't be returning to the Chimera Tribe. From now on, I will plan for the foreign army to become independent and establish my own tribe. "
Suo Mo was silent for a moment.
In the Savage World, not participating in a promised duel was an extremely shameful matter. It was something that damaged one's reputation greatly.
But Lan Ling was right. He had already proven that he could defeat Du Yan. That was enough.
Suo Mo said, "But if you don't participate in the duel, Du Yan will rightfully become the successor to the leader of the foreign army."
Lan Ling said, "Then I'll let him have it for now. When all the foreign army has safely withdrawn from the Chimera Tribe and entered the Mirror Mountain Domain, I'll settle this debt."
Suo Mo said, "If you don't return to the Chimera Tribe, what do you plan to do?"
Lan Ling said, "I'll dig out the thousands of corpses that were buried and hang them on every tree at the foot of the Mirror Mountain. I'll use the corpses to draw a circle with a diameter of 50 kilometers. This way, I can intimidate the surrounding tribes for a period of time. "
Now that the Mirror Mountain no longer had an illusion, the consequences would be unimaginable if an adventurer entered and realized that there was no longer any danger.
If thousands of corpses were hung outside, it would be scary enough even without the illusion.
"Alright, you have the final say." Suo Mo said, "I'll return to the Chimera Tribe now and say that I don't have your whereabouts."
Lan Ling said, "After hanging up the corpses, I'll secretly sneak back to the Chimera Tribe. Then, we'll plan for the foreign army to rebel and establish a tribe."
"Alright." Suo Mo nodded and sighed. "It wasn't easy for your cultivation to improve tremendously, but you weren't able to defeat Du Yan and reclaim your honor. Are you regretful?"
Lan Ling smiled. "A little, but our tribe is more important."
Suo Mo said, "The Mirror Mountain and the Chimera Tribe are in two different directions. If you've made up your mind, we'll have to temporarily separate. I'll return to the Chimera Tribe, and you return to the Mirror Mountain. "
Ah Mo looked at Suo Mo with some reluctance. Of course, she had to follow Lan Ling back to the Mirror Mountain to hang up the corpses.
"Goodbye. See you in a few days." Ah Mo looked at Suo Mo affectionately.
"Goodbye," Suo Mo replied awkwardly.
Then, Suo Mo quickly ran south and returned to the Chimera Tribe.
…
Was he disappointed? Was he regretful?
Indeed he was!
Lan Ling had created a miracle. In a short month, his cultivation had broken through to the 11th level. Furthermore, he had a high chance of defeating Du Yan in a duel.
However, in order to protect the Mirror Mountain, he couldn't reveal himself.
Therefore, he couldn't show everyone this miracle. He couldn't reap the glory that belonged to him, and he had to break his promise to his brothers in the foreign army.
"Little Ling, I now believe that you'll be a good chief," Ah Mo suddenly said.
Lan Ling found it strange. Ah Mo, can you not look at me like an elder? You're not even my aunt yet.
"You're a bastard, but your uncle is the best man in the world," Ah Mo said. "I must marry him. I want to bear his children. You have to help me."
Lan Ling said, "I'll try my best."
Then, Lan Ling and Ah Mo walked in the direction of the Mirror Mountain.
The two sprinted. Ten hours later, they arrived at the Mirror Mountain, the future base of the Flame Demon tribe.
At this time, Lan Ling noticed that the Mirror Mountain was the tallest mountain in the surroundings. The base of the mountain was about a hundred miles in diameter.
Lan Ling's future Flame Demon tribe would be a complete mountain.
The two walked to the large pit where the corpses were buried. They wanted to dig out every corpse and hang them at the base of the Mirror Mountain to scare off the adventurers.
After entering the Mirror Mountain, Lan Ling immediately released his Mentality to search the entire area to see if any adventurers had entered.
Fortunately, there weren't any. The reputation of this dead zone was not false. Basically, no one dared to enter.
…
The corpse pit was huge. No one knew how Lan Ling had dug it out.
He had buried the corpses with great difficulty. Now, he had to dig them out and hang them on every tree at the base of the mountain.
"Sigh, if you had chosen to fight at the Chimera tribe, you would have defeated Du Yan by this time tomorrow. You would have enjoyed the cheers of countless people and your glory," Ah Mo said. Ah Mo said, "You risked your life to come to the Ghost Domain World in order to defeat Du Yan in a duel. But you gave up at the last moment. I feel sorry for you. "
Lan Ling did not speak.
Ah Mo said, "Why don't you go fight? I'll hang the corpses alone."
Lan Ling shook his head. "No, the Mirror Mountain is more important."
Lan Ling was right. Once he returned safely, and his cultivation base skyrocketed, allowing him to defeat Du Yan in a duel, there was no doubt that he had obtained a huge fortuitous encounter in the Ghost Domain. Chieftain Constantine would definitely send someone to investigate.
At that time, he would take the Mirror Mountain.
Lan Ling could not take this risk.
But in his heart, he really, really wanted to return to the Chimera tribe and cut down Du Yan with his sword.
He had risked his life for this month. Wasn't it all to defeat Du Yan in the duel?
But to give up at the last moment for the sake of the big picture was truly regrettable.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Lan Ling's mind. "Master, I can help you."
Lan Ling jumped in fright. "Who are you?"
"I am your shadow," the voice said.
"Mirror Demon King?" Lan Ling was shocked.
"Yes, it's me," the Mirror Demon King said.
Lan Ling said, "Didn't you turn to ashes?"
The Mirror Demon King said, "I only entered your body. I am your shadow, so of course I have to enter your body."
No wonder Lan Ling felt that after devouring the Mirror Demon King, his cultivation didn't increase at all. Even his mental power didn't increase at all. The only thing he gained was the Eyes of Enchantment.
It turned out that he didn't devour the Mirror Demon King at all. It was the Mirror Demon King that entered his body.
But how could it enter Lan Ling's body without being noticed by Lan Ling?
Lan Ling said, "I am not your Demon King."
The Mirror Demon King said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I can help you now."
Lan Ling said, "How?"
The Mirror Demon King said, "That mirror, is it still on the top of the mountain?"
Lan Ling said, "Yes, it is a natural mirror."
It wasn't a real mirror, but a smooth stone wall. This rock contained a lot of metal. After years of wind and rain, or thunder and lightning, it formed a very smooth mirror surface, just like a mirror.
In the past, the Demon King flew over here and stared at this natural mirror, leaving his eyes and shadow. This made this mirror have life and become the Mirror Demon King, becoming a Demon King's ruin.
The Mirror Demon King said, "If you release me from your mind and re-enter the mirror, I can create an illusion again to protect this Mirror Mountain."
Lan Ling was silent.
The Mirror Demon King was very cunning. Would it take the opportunity to escape or recapture its Illusory Kingdom?
The Mirror Demon King said, "In my Illusory Kingdom, you not only destroyed the dream of those mental slaves, but also shattered my dream. In the end, I am just a vague shadow. I can't go anywhere. Even if I have countless treasures, I can't buy anything. Returning to your body is my true destiny. After all, I'm just a shadow of your past self. "
Lan Ling said, "How many times have I told you, I am not your Demon King."
"Okay, whatever you say." The Mirror Demon King said, "But let me help you now. Let me return to the mirror and create an illusion to protect your Mirror Mountain. Even if I am cunning and want to escape back into the mirror, what can I do? What can I do? I'm just a shadow. I can't go anywhere but the mirror and your body. " Last time, I was so strong and had thousands of accomplices. You still defeated me, let alone me. Even if I want to occupy this Mirror Mountain, the next time you come, you can still easily defeat me and take back the Mirror Mountain. "
Yes, this was the truth.
A month ago, Lan Ling could defeat the Mirror Demon King. Now, it had no accomplices and Lan Ling had completely seen through it. It would be easy to defeat it again.
"Okay!" Lan Ling said.
Then, he and Ah Mo climbed to the top of the Mirror Mountain again and came in front of the natural mirror.
Should it be a meteorite? Containing a mysterious metal? Then it was split by a bolt of lightning, so it formed a natural mirror.
Lan Ling and Ah Mo stood in front of the stone mirror and saw a blurry shadow inside.
"Come out," Lan Ling said.
The Mirror Demon King said, "Wait, wait for the sun to set. I am a shadow and can't see the sun."
More than an hour later, the sun set.
"Master, I am coming out," the Mirror Demon King said.
Then …
"Whoosh …" A black shadow suddenly rushed out of Lan Ling's eyes and drilled into the stone mirror.
Ah Mo exclaimed on the side. She didn't know what was happening. She pulled out her sword, not knowing who to fight.
"Don't be impatient," Lan Ling said.
The Mirror Demon King turned into thousands of black shadows and kept pouring into the mirror.
These black shadows gradually condensed in the mirror and finally formed a complete Mirror Demon King.
It was exactly the same as the Shadow Devil King that Lan Ling had seen in the Illusory Realm Palace. It was extremely tall, had horns on its head, wings on its back, and thorns on its neck. Its entire body was covered in scales, and even its claws were majestic.
Only its face was exactly the same as Lan Ling's.
"It, it went back into the mirror?" Ah Mo said in shock.
The Mirror Demon King looked at Lan Ling in the mirror and said, "Master, you better come back quickly because my energy won't last much longer."
Lan Ling couldn't help but be surprised.
The Mirror Demon King said, "All my mental slaves were killed by you, so I can't absorb mental energy from them. I've also been injured by you before, so I can only last for three months by relying on my spiritual power alone. Please come back within three months. "
"Okay!" Lan Ling said.
The Mirror Demon King said, "Then goodbye. Please believe me, you are my master and I am only your shadow. I always want to return to your side."
With that, the Mirror Demon King released a mental energy barrier. At first, it was only a few dozen meters in diameter, but it kept expanding and expanding.
In the end, this mental energy barrier was a hundred miles in diameter and completely protected the entire Mirror Mountain.
At this time, anyone who entered the Mirror Mountain would immediately enter an illusion and become the Mirror Demon King's mental captive.
This way, the Mirror Mountain was safe, and so was Lan Ling's tribal base.
Lan Ling quickly rushed out of the Mirror Mountain with Ah Mo and out of the huge energy barrier.
Indeed, from the outside, the Mirror Mountain had once again become a ghost world.
At this time, the world inside was covered in white snow.
"Goodbye, Master," the energy barrier said.
"Goodbye!" Lan Ling said.
Then, he sprinted toward the Chimera Tribe at full speed.
There were only ten hours left until the deadline of the duel, and this place was a full two hundred and seventy miles away from the Chimera Tribe.
…
Lan Ling ran at lightning speed. She traveled day and night without resting.
Twelve hours later, Lan Ling sprinted two hundred and seventy miles and arrived outside the Chimera Tribe's gates.
At this time, the entire tribe was bustling.
Everyone was waiting for the ridiculous duel to begin.
Even though many people felt that the duel wouldn't begin because Lan Ling was already dead.
"Du Yan, I'm coming!"
