Chapter 108 - 17: Have I Become the Boss of Demons? 2
“However, even I have never seen the true face of the King, only feeling his imposing presence from afar. Grandma is in charge of all matters large and small in the mountain.”
“Grandma?” Zhao Huai found this name familiar. Wasn’t it the human-face Spider Demon who escaped from Lu Wanqiu’s control?
Blackvvind Granny.
“What is Grandma’s relationship with the King that she is so trusted?” Zhao Huai couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing the ambiguous expression of the Black Bear Commander, he silently responded:
“Grandma is the King’s…cough, you know what I mean.”
“I see potential in you, so I’ve told you so much. What’s your name?”
The Black Bear Commander had seen many demons, and based on Zhao Huai’s level of transformation, he knew he had a high cultivation level. He knew that Zhao Huai’s future achievements would definitely be higher than his own, so he spoke more to him.
“Boar Zhu Ganglie, ranked the eighth, also known as Bajie.”
Zhao Huai clasped his fists in response, a serious look on his face, “Bear Commander, don’t worry. In the future, I will not forget your kindness of recommendation. ”
Zhao Huai’s insincere words, however, pleased Bear Commander greatly, nodding his head in agreement.
This boar Zhu Ganglie was a demon who could achieve great things.
Seeing Zhao Huai and Bear Commander flatter each other, the Wild Boar King looked envious.
In Tianmu Mountain, only powerful demons had a say in matters. As a lowly demon like himself, he had no status, which was the reason he had left.
This expert, whether as a human or a demon, was much more successful than him.
Two demons and one person soon arrived at a spacious area. The trees here had been cleared, and numerous wooden stockades were built. There was also an Immortal’s cave hollowed out of the mountainside with the Blackvvind Cave inscribed in small seal script on its dark entrance.
Zhao Huai saw hundreds of demons in his vision, some practicing with their weapons, some cooking, and others building houses.
As they saw the Bear Commander bringing the demons, all of them looked at the new arrivals with various expressions, wonder, coldness, curiosity.
His gaze towards the crowd of demons did not carry the complex emotions of fear, worry, and trepidation that Wild Boar King had. Instead, his eyes shone brightly, revealing a sharp glint.
“Tianmu Mountain’s management is very strict. Most demons can only stay in designated areas and cannot wander around. Cousin…you have to be careful later.”
Wild Boar King whispered in Zhao Huai’s ear.
“I understand.” Zhao Huai nodded to show he understood.
“Hey, isn’t this Bear Commander? Who are these two?”
Just as the Bear Commander was about to take them into the cave, a mocking voice came from a distance.
Zhao Huai looked over to see a man with the head of a crocodile, sharp teeth in his mouth, wearing black armor, slowly walking over. “Yeah, they want to join the King, is there a problem?”
The Black Bear Commander responded calmly.
The Crocodile Commander glanced at Wild Boar King and Zhao Huai, then sneered, “The resources of Tianmu Mountain are limited. Not every piece of trash can join the Blackwind Cave.”
There was conflict between the commanders and the little demons. They were clearly divided into different factions. Just a glance allowed Zhao Huai to notice substantial changes in the stares of the little demons in the distance. Their eyes grew fierce, and they sharpened their knives.
“Crocodile Commander, are you trying to break the rules?” The Black Bear Commander raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.
“How dare I? I also happen to request a meeting with Grandma. How about we go together?”
The Black Bear Commander snorted coldly, ignoring him. Instead, he said to
Zhao Huai:
“Go in, Grandma is inside. Be smart and show off your skills later. Maybe you can get a good position.”
Zhao Huai nodded and soon followed several demons into the immortal cave.
He found that the cave was much bigger and deeper than he had imagined. The labyrinthine paths were winding and intricate, with many entrances. Even with the illumination of spiritual stones, the interior still resembled a maze. Various little demons guarded both sides of the pathways.
In one room within the cave, there was a beautiful woman in a red beaded dress, Ivinz on a iade bed. resting.
Zhao Huai frowned. She didn’t resemble Blackwind Granny at all.
“This is Blackwind Granny?”
Wild Boar King whispered back, “She is one of Blackwind Granny’s most trusted subordinates and the main manager of Blackwind Cave.”
“Trusted subordinate?” Zhao Huai was taken aback. Were the ranks among the demons so rigidly defined?
With commanders and managers.
“You may not know, but Granny has seven fully-transformed spiders under her command, all of them quite powerful. This one is the strongest; her name is Hong Yuan.” Wild Boar King added.
As they approached the woman, the Black Bear Commander and Crocodile Commander both greeted her respectfully:
“Greetings, Manager. We wish to see Granny.”
Without getting up from her reclined position and keeping her back to everyone, the woman’s clear and pleasant voice rang out:
“Granny is not here today. If you have any matters, speak to me.”
The Bear Commander immediately introduced: “This is the newcomer, Boar Zhu Ganglie. Seeing his skills, I specially brought him here to find a position of duty.”
“Bear Commander, do you know that Blackwind Cave doesn’t raise idle people? There are already enough people that you’ve introduced. Do you think I don’t know your intentions?”
The woman’s voice remained calm, seemingly not having a high opinion of the people he recommended.
She thought the Bear Commander was only trying to expand his influence.
Hearing her words, the Crocodile Commander couldn’t help but laugh mockingly. Seeing the Bear Commander embarrassed brought him great joy..
