Chapter 1114: Being Tricked

Lin Fan looked at the Southern Demon Immortal King, his expression somewhat odd. "Southern Demon Immortal King, could it be that you have some unspeakable difficulty? If so, feel free to speak up; I think I would understand."

The Southern Demon Immortal King observed Lin Fan's demeanor and felt that if he didn't give a satisfactory answer today, he might end up like the Truth Immortal King. As an Immortal King, he naturally feared no one, but this man before him had managed to kill the Truth Immortal King without any injury, clearly extraordinary.

Although the other's attitude seemed to be inquiring, there was an intangible arrogance in it, as if to say, if you don't agree, I'll go on a killing spree.

The Southern Demon Immortal King pondered for a moment, then said with great righteousness, "The Endless Continent has suffered calamities; how can I, as an Immortal King, stand idly by? Rest assured, I will certainly emerge to help."

Lin Fan was delighted. "The Southern Demon Immortal King truly understands reason. If the Endless Continent were to fall, how could an Immortal King remain aloof? Come, let's leave this place now."

"Wait." The Southern Demon Immortal King immediately stopped him, then softened his tone. "I am currently cultivating a celestial art. If I master it, even the main gods of the Moon Shadow Continent would be no match for me. Since the main gods of the Moon Shadow Continent have not yet appeared, it gives us some time. How about I emerge when the main gods of the Moon Shadow Continent make their move? What do you think?"

Lin Fan looked at the Southern Demon Immortal King with a strange expression. "I sense the aura of the Future Infinite King Buddha. Are you... unwilling to go? Or are you stringing me along?"

"No, absolutely not. How could I, the Southern Demon Immortal King, stand idly by in such a matter?" said the Southern Demon Immortal King, though inwardly he was furious. But he had nowhere to vent his anger. If it were anyone else, he would have suppressed them long ago. However, this man was extremely dangerous and not to be trifled with. He had to stay calm. Based on what he had seen, this fellow was perilous; it was better to avoid conflict.

"Then what do you mean?" Lin Fan asked.

"As far as I know, several main gods in the Moon Shadow Continent are powerful beyond my current ability. If I can successfully cultivate the celestial art during this time, I would have a much better chance. So at this critical moment, I cannot waste a single moment. But rest assured, even if I don't go personally, I will send my Black Heaven Demon King to lead an army to the front lines." The Southern Demon Immortal King then raised his finger, and the calm sea suddenly stirred up towering waves, from which a fierce aura burst forth.

Lin Fan focused his gaze. A massive whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, bottomless, emitting a chilling, sinister aura.

Thump!

Thump!

The sound of thousands upon thousands of troops trampling came. A black banner appeared, and the moment it did, the sky darkened. One after another, warriors holding banners and riding black demon horses emerged on the sea.

At a glance, there were at least ten thousand.

This army was fierce in spirit, as if they had fought through countless battlefields, exuding a bloody aura.

"This is my Black Heaven Demon King Legion. Any Immortal Venerable who falls into it will surely die. Even an Immortal King would have to expend considerable effort. With their addition, I believe it will be of great help." said the Southern Demon Immortal King.

At the same time, his heart ached. This Black Heaven Demon King Legion was an army he had refined over countless years. When fully completed, it could rival an Immortal King. It was now eighty percent complete, but he had to stabilize the situation.

Lin Fan looked at the army and nodded. Their momentum was good, and their strength was decent. They could only trap an ordinary Immortal King at best. Against a powerful Immortal King like the Future Infinite King Buddha, they would be wiped out with a wave of the hand. Still, they were sufficient against ordinary enemies. The Moon Shadow Continent had too many creatures, and having such a cavalry would alleviate some pressure.

"Good... Southern Demon Immortal King, I hope you will keep your promise and do your part when the main gods of the Moon Shadow Continent descend." Lin Fan said.

"Naturally. I, the Southern Demon Immortal King, will certainly do my utmost." said the Southern Demon Immortal King.

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, and the Black Heaven Demon King army instantly turned into a thick black mist, finally forming a war banner. The banner was wreathed in black mist, exuding a fierce intent.

"Farewell..."

For now, since the Southern Demon Immortal King had agreed to help, that was enough. What would happen in the end was beyond Lin Fan's control. Of course, if the Southern Demon Immortal King broke his word at that time, he would simply kill him.

The Southern Demon Immortal King nodded. After Lin Fan left, his calm eyes suddenly turned sharp. A ten-thousand-year demon king could not be dominated by others.

"Amitabha. Southern Demon Immortal King, I feel somewhat sorry that you were humiliated by a junior." The Future Infinite King Buddha appeared between heaven and earth.

"No matter. Future Infinite King Buddha, what are you plotting? Although this junior is an Immortal King, if you were to act, you could easily suppress him, couldn't you?" said the Southern Demon Immortal King.

The Future Infinite King Buddha smiled without speaking, reciting the Buddha's name, but a strange glint flickered in his golden eyes. If it weren't for that mysterious thing the boy possessed, why would he fear such a fellow?

But the time was not yet right; he was in no hurry. That time, even with the War God's help, they couldn't kill him. This boy must have great fortune and was not easy to kill. It might be better to wait for the main gods to descend and use their hands to deal with him—unexpected results might occur.

The Southern Demon Immortal King looked at the Future Infinite King Buddha and said nothing more. He flicked his sleeve and returned to the Black Mountain. The Black Heaven Demon King Legion was merely a defective product; the real finished product was still in his hands—an army capable of rivaling an Immortal King. How could he bear to give it to such a junior?

The Truth Immortal King, that fool, deserved to die. If his ancestor hadn't been the Wen Dao Heavenly Lord, who would have bothered with him? But whether the Wen Dao Heavenly Lord had truly fallen was unclear. Everything must be handled with caution.

The Future Infinite King Buddha was no simple character; he was probably plotting the path of the Heavenly Lord. He had to be careful.

As for those main gods, the Southern Demon Immortal King had long established good relations with several of them. Naturally, he would not interfere in the affairs of the Endless Continent.

The main gods needed faith, while they needed the path of the Heavenly Lord. There was no connection between the two, but they could use each other. What did the survival of these ants have to do with them?

...

The Blood Mountain in the Nether Sea was empty.

The Prison Spirit Abyss was also empty.

When Lin Fan arrived at these two places, both were deserted—not even a ghost in sight.

It seemed they were avoiding him.
