"Greetings, Elder Su!"

Over a thousand Demon Beasts prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground. Their resonant voices shot to the high heavens, shaking the very world.

And these were all High-Level Demon Beasts.

The weakest among them was at least Tier Five.

Behind Su Mo, Lu Daoshen and Jie’e were completely dumbfounded.

A thousand demons bowing in submission.

The scene was too grand to describe.

Even the Martial Emperor Level experts, Lu Ya and Shen Weiyang, were completely stunned, their mouths agape. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

After a long while...

Lu Ya finally came to his senses. Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, he said, "So these Demon Beasts really are Elder Su’s Demon Pets."

"This..."

Lu Daoshen still found it hard to believe.

He had imagined a thousand scenarios where Su Mo was torn to shreds by the horde of beasts. He had even considered stepping in to save him. But he had never, ever imagined a thousand demons bowing in submission.

It was too shocking.

Lu Daoshen stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, are all of these truly your Demon Pets?"

"Yes, they are. Is there a problem?"

Su Mo asked, turning around.

Lu Daoshen was so shocked he was utterly speechless.

’Who in their right mind would raise this many Demon Pets?’

’It’s simply unaffordable.’

That was why most people chose to kill Demon Beasts for their cores.

Jie’e turned back to Xiao Lang and said, "Human-shaped flying ship, with your family raising so many Demon Pets, aren’t you afraid they’ll eat you out of house and home?"

"Eat us out of house and home?"

Xiao Lang scratched his head. "Our family doesn’t really feed them. They’re all self-reliant and fend for themselves."

"Self-reliant?"

Jie’e was baffled.

Xiao Lang nodded. "Our family has over thirty thousand Demon Beasts. They’re all free-range, so we don’t use a single grain to feed them."

"Huh?"

Jie’e was completely stunned.

He knew you could free-range chickens and geese, but he’d never heard of free-ranging Demon Beasts that were also self-reliant.

And over thirty thousand of them...

That number was just astronomical.

Forget raising them—he hadn’t even seen that many Demon Beasts in his entire life.

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll run away?"

Jie’e continued to ask.

Xiao Lang shook his head. "Nope. These Demon Beasts all follow us voluntarily. We don’t even have contracts with them. They’re all very well-behaved. For example, these thousand-plus beasts on the ground are all new recruits. Other than Little Queque, I’ve never seen any of them before."

Jie’e’s face was a mask of bewilderment.

’But why?’

He simply couldn’t fathom what kind of background the Xiao Family had to make so many Demon Beasts join them willingly.

"Fuck!"

The clamor from the Demon Beasts was making Su Mo’s ears ring. "Little Queque, what the hell are you doing? Trying to deafen me with all this noise?"

"Hehe!"

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow said obsequiously, "Elder Su, these are all the new underlings I’ve recruited these past few days. From now on, they’re your servants. You can command them as you please, or even butcher them for meat."

"Butcher them? That doesn’t seem right,"

Su Mo said.

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow casually snatched a winged Celestial Horse Demon Beast out of the air. "Elder Su, would you like to drink some fresh Demon Beast blood? I’ll slaughter it right now and drain its blood for you."

The Celestial Horse Demon Beast trembled in fear.

Su Mo waved his hand. "That’s too cruel a way to treat your own subordinates. Let it go. Just have it serve the family."

"Alright!"

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow released the Celestial Horse Demon Beast. "I’ll keep it for milking... huh? Why is this dead baldy here too?"

"Dead baldy?"

Lu Daoshen’s face darkened.

Su Mo asked in surprise, "You two know each other?"

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow nodded. "This dead baldy’s mount was stolen, but instead of getting revenge, he tried to subdue me and make me his new mount. I beat the crap out of him, and now he’s shown his face again."

"Is that so?"

Su Mo turned to look at Lu Daoshen.

Instantly, an immense fear gripped Lu Daoshen’s heart, and his very soul trembled.

He nearly pissed himself in terror.

The young man before him seemed perfectly ordinary, yet he exuded an unfathomably terrifying aura, like standing at the edge of an abyss, about to fall in at any moment.

"Elder, this... this is all a misunderstanding!"

Lu Daoshen said, trembling as he forced a smile.

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow retorted unhappily, "Misunderstanding, my ass! If I hadn’t awakened my Divine Beast Roc Bloodline, you, you dead baldy, would have captured me, and I’d never have seen Elder Su again in this lifetime!"

"Divine Beast Roc Bloodline?"

Lu Daoshen’s heart skipped a beat.

’No wonder the Cyan Cloud Sparrow’s strength far surpasses that of a Tier Six Demon King. So it possesses Divine Beast bloodline, and it’s even awakened.’

’And yet, such a powerful Divine Beast was merely Su Mo’s mount.’

’Willingly submitting to him.’

’Then doesn’t that make Su Mo...?’

At this thought, Lu Daoshen trembled even more violently.

If he had known the Cyan Cloud Sparrow had such a powerful master, he wouldn’t have dared try to capture it, not even if it killed him.

"Apologize!"

Su Mo said icily.

THUD!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Daoshen dropped to his knees. "I’m sorry, Elder Su," he stammered. "I didn’t know it was your esteemed self’s Demon Pet."

’Are you kidding me?’

’He felt like the other man could kill him with a single glance.’

’Not kneeling was a death sentence.’

Jie’e was so horrified his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

’His master actually knelt to someone?’

’How is that possible?!’

’Even if an Early Stage Martial Emperor showed up, his master could still put up a fight. He would never be this obsequious.’

’Could it be that Su Mo was some kind of terrifying entity?’

WHOOSH!

A cold sweat broke out down Jie’e’s back.

’To think that he had actually mocked Su Mo and called his group weirdos for carrying a human-shaped flying ship on foot.’

"Brother Lang, I..."

Jie’e turned to Xiao Lang, pleading for help.

Xiao Lang patted Jie’e’s shoulder. "Don’t be scared, baldy. Our Young Master is very kind. He doesn’t just go around killing people."

"Really?"

Jie’e breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lang nodded. "He only gets angry if you provoke him. By the way, you’re from the Western Profound Domain, so you must know of the Celestial Tiger Sect, right?"

"The Celestial Tiger Sect?"

Jie’e nodded. "I do. My master is on very good terms with the Tianhu Sect Master. You know people from the Celestial Tiger Sect, too?"

Xiao Lang said, "Oh yeah, we’re very familiar with the people from the Celestial Tiger Sect. I even know their Sect Leader."

"That’s great!"

Jie’e said excitedly.

He thought, ’Since we all know each other, we’re on the same side.’

Who would have thought...

Xiao Lang said coldly, "Those bastards from the Celestial Tiger Sect just had to provoke our Young Master. In the end, our Young Master slapped them to death."

"What?"

Jie’e’s face was a picture of shock.

Xiao Lang continued, "And then there was that Liang Taishang from the Nine Tripods Sect. Something was wrong with his head. Our Young Master didn’t originally plan to kill him, but he just had to court death, so our Young Master slapped him into a bloody mist."

"Liang Taishang was also killed by your Young Master?"

Jie’e asked, shocked.

Xiao Lang raised his hand to demonstrate. "Just like this. WHAP! Slapped to death with one palm."

Jie’e was scared stiff.

Liang Taishang was a Martial King Great Perfection expert.

’Gone in a single slap.’

’This was too terrifying.’

Xiao Lang suddenly thought of something and stared at Jie’e. "You just said your master is on good terms with the Celestial Tiger Sect?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Jie’e quickly shook his head. "Brother Lang, you don’t know the full story! My master and the Tianhu Sect Master are mortal enemies! My master beat the Tianhu Sect Master until he was screaming for mercy. Oh, and you know the Celestial Gate Five Tigers, right? I can take on all five of them by myself. They’ve even knelt and begged me for mercy before."

"So, you’re saying we’re kindred spirits?"

Xiao Lang asked with pleasant surprise.
