Chapter 250: Trapped Sky Mountain
The events that followed in the next two days were exactly as Li Shan had expected.
Just as the demons in Dongting would not heed the likes of King Ao, the demons surrounding Dongting also disregarded any wishes of the “Wei River Dragon King.”
Many demons had occupied the Wei River for hundreds of years, and during those hundreds of years, that “Young Master Nine” had never caused any trouble. Now, he suddenly wanted to cause trouble, adopting the stance of a leader of all demons... who would pay attention to him?
Demons cared more about their own affairs. Compared to dog-shit things like the war between demons and Daoists, the great calamity of the world, being defeated one by one, or mutual dependency, they were more concerned about whether their territory would be coveted, whether their position was secure, where to catch a human for a good meal, and whether there were any Daoist Orthodoxy disciples walking around nearby—wishing they would hurry up and leave so they could continue their merry lives.
The section of the Wei River near Weicheng was previously under the actual control of Young Master Nine. Further out was the territory of those other demons.
And the areas controlled by demons were far larger than humans could imagine. Hunters who frequently entered the mountains knew that a pack of wolves might have a hunting ground as wide as several tens of miles, let alone demons. After all, the world was sparsely populated, and most of the “wilderness” was actually under the name of a certain Demon King.
However, Demon Kings only nominally had jurisdiction over a certain area... they would certainly not be so arrogant as to run into a large human city in that territory and declare ownership.
But this also meant one thing—very few demons knew that the Wei River Dragon King was no longer the former Wei River Dragon King.
That day, Li Yunxin created an anomaly in the sky above Weicheng that was clearly visible for several tens of li. But the problem was... the closest Demon King to Weicheng was several hundred li away.
