Please be my partner.

Nasus performed an elegant gentlemanly gesture, extending his right paw as an invitation.

Little Liuli returned the greeting with a reserved gesture, extending her paw to touch it.

The fluctuations of the two become synchronized and merge in an instant.

A force far surpassing any of them rose up.

The snake, who was using its supernatural powers, suddenly felt a jolt in its heart and its body moved faster than its thoughts could process, dodging to the side.

A beam of seven-colored light swept across the spot where the snake had been, silently and without any apparent significance.

The snake looked surprised and suspicious, then, as if it had thought of something, it suddenly turned around and looked at the demon soldiers and generals.

Tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals affected by the seven-colored light collapsed to the ground without any struggle. Their souls had disappeared, completely dissolved by the seven-colored light, and even the protective formation of the battle array could not play any role.

At this moment, the expression on the Yellow Wind King's face changed from mocking sneer to furious rage. He looked at Nasus and the Little Glass Fusion that emerged from the seven-colored light, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Wisps of yellow wind drifted from the Yellow Wind King's body, quickly thickening and spreading.

The Yellow Wind King soared into the air, his simple robes dissipating, replaced by...

Golden helmets gleamed in the sun, golden armor shimmered with light.

The plume on the helmet fluttered like a pheasant's tail, and the silk robe covered the pale yellow armor.

The armor ribbons are adorned with shimmering dragons, and the protective mirror gleams brilliantly before the eyes.

Deerskin boots, dyed with locust blossoms; brocade apron, adorned with willow leaf velvet.

Wielding a three-pronged steel fork, his power and might are unmatched!

That yellow gale was the supernatural power that made the Yellow Wind King famous. Under the gale, the heavens and earth would darken, ghosts and gods would be saddened, rocks would split and cliffs would collapse, and people's lives would end instantly.

Then came the rising yellow sand, darkening the sky and earth for miles around, making it impossible to distinguish north from south or east from west, tearing away flesh and corroding bones, melting even metal.

Clearly, King Yellow Wind was truly enraged and had no intention of wasting any more time. Instead, he was prepared to personally take action and capture these three strange little demons in one fell swoop.

To have achieved this level of skill, there's no doubt that these three little demons possess a great secret.

But once we've taken them down, we can interrogate them however we want, right? Then, why worry about not getting the secrets we want?!

Just as the Yellow Wind King deftly swung his steel fork, preparing to take down the three dogs...

"Boom!~"

An unimaginable spatial fluctuation arose from thousands of miles away, perfectly enveloping the Yellow Wind King's Yellow Wind Divine Power. At the same time, fluctuations from the outer perimeter made the Yellow Wind King believe that the entire Demon Eye Mountain was collapsing and being destroyed.

A moment later, the tremors stopped. King Huangfeng looked surprised and uncertain. The ancient elephant and the snake also stopped fighting and retreated to a short distance from King Huangfeng.

The remaining 100,000-plus demon soldiers and generals looked terrified. They never imagined that the three major demon king forces of Demon Eye Mountain would suffer such heavy losses when attacking a small demon force.

The Yellow Wind King manipulated his supernatural powers, which extended to the outermost edge, to investigate what had just happened a thousand miles away.

But what happened next made the Yellow Wind King's hair stand on end, and he felt a long-lost sense of dread.

Then, high in the sky, appeared a... bizarre dog head that occupied most of the firmament?!

Chapter 620 Suppression

A weird dog head?!

The dog's head was entirely purple, with pointed cheeks and six golden eyes.

The strange dog head seemed quite curious and moved closer to take a closer look.

Then, King Huangfeng and his companions saw one of the strange dog's golden eyes rapidly enlarge, filling the entire sky, while the rest of its head shrank dramatically, forming a bizarre arc.

It's like... a convex mirror?!

Suddenly, the Yellow Wind King seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "This is... a realm-type divine power? We've been shrunk! No, we should say, the entire area within a thousand miles has been shrunk!!"

outside world.

Mellen stood calmly, with the Void Dog standing beside him, holding a fist-sized transparent sphere in its paw. The dog looked curious and kept moving closer to observe what was inside.

Spike, Little Glass, and Nasus, the three dogs, surrounded the Void Dog, looking just as curious as ever.

Ta Lei stood further away, its face blank. It kept glancing between its leader and the suddenly appearing humans, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Mellen said, "Alright, we'll deal with Huang Feng later. Let's go collect our spoils first, and not let the other two demon kings get away with it."

As he spoke, Mellen exclaimed, "Speaking of which, aren't the demons in these Hundred Thousand Mountains far too powerful? The Demon Eye Mountain is only the outermost part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and there are already three powerful demon kings like Huang Feng. If we include the immortal demons under their command, there are more than ten mythical powerhouses here?!"

"If that's the case, how many powerful demons in the celestial realm of the Hundred Thousand Mountains would there be? Millions? Tens of millions?? Or even more?!"

Nasus floated to Melron's side, shook his finger, and said, "Meloon, you've misunderstood. While there are many powerful demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there can't be that many."

"Think about it, although the Demon Eye Mountain is located on the outermost edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, it is actually not simple at all."

After Nasus's reminder, Mellen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.

He seemed to have fallen into some kind of misconception before. It's not true that the more core a place is, the more important it is, and the more peripheral it is, the more marginal it is.

Nasus said with a smile, "As the outermost part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Demon Eye Mountain is not only responsible for blocking the invasion of human cultivators, but also serves as a gateway for trade between the two sides. The former goes without saying, but the latter, the toll fees collected every year are an unimaginable source of profit."

"How could such an important place be occupied by ordinary demons?"

Mellen nodded slightly, then frowned and asked, "So, can three demon kings like Huang Feng really take over such an important place?"

Nasus's smile faded, and he nodded, saying, "I have the same suspicion. Perhaps the three of them, including King Huangfeng, have powerful backers supporting them."

"Tsk!" Mellen shook his head helplessly, but he wasn't too worried. After all, his status was what it was: one of the top ten disciples of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect. He was a golden name wherever he went, and there were very few people in the entire Jade Balance Heaven who dared to provoke him.

Moreover, the moment Mellen became one of the Ten Heroes, a prohibition was placed on his Golden Feather Bracelet. As long as he was in the Immortal Realm, even when facing a Dao Lord level expert, this prohibition could save his life.

In most cases, the ten outstanding disciples of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect don't even need to activate the power of the prohibition. Often, simply showing the prohibition is enough to turn danger into safety. After all, the face of the Golden Jade Ancestor is still very strong.

In any case, Mellen will definitely take a bite of the 'meat' of the Ten Thousand Mountains. At most, since there are powerful figures behind the Yellow Wind King that Mellen can't afford to offend for the time being, he will only take a small bite, which will simply change the Demon Eye Mountain from three major demon kings to four major demon kings.

If we can afford to provoke them, then we certainly won't need to be polite. In fact, we should also investigate the other two demon kings carefully.

After all, sharing with others is never as satisfying as enjoying it all to yourself!

As they spoke, Mellen and his group arrived at Yellow Wind Ridge.

To counter the schemes of the two demon kings, King Huangfeng essentially mobilized his entire force for this trip to Tianlang Mountain.

Although tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals still remained in Huangfeng Ridge, and although King Huangfeng had made many arrangements, these were as fragile as shredded paper under the attack of the dogs, and were easily suppressed.

Unlike other monster lairs, the Demon Gathering Cave was exceptionally clean and tidy. The throne of the Yellow Wind King was cast from a single piece of spiritually rich crystal and covered with soft animal hides, making it very comfortable to sit on.

Mellen sat on his throne and casually picked up a leather book that was placed next to him. The book contained a record of the resource output of Huangfengling this year in crooked handwriting.

More importantly, the book also subtly reveals the transactions between Huangfengling and some immortal sects of the human race.

After Mellen finished reading with great interest, the dogs also completed their suppression and statistics, and led a dozen timid little demons to the Demon Gathering Cave.

Nasus said, "There are fifty to sixty thousand demon soldiers and generals remaining in Yellow Wind Ridge. Several thousand died during the suppression just now, and the rest have temporarily submitted. I believe they will make a wise choice after they confirm the news of King Yellow Wind."

Then, pointing to the dozen or so lesser demons following behind, he said, "These are all demon generals, considered among the more powerful lesser demons. If you want to subdue the entire Huangfeng Ridge force, you can start with them."

The demon race does not have the same detailed realm division as human cultivators. Generally speaking, lesser demons are those who have not yet become immortals, while greater demons usually refer to demons in the immortal realm.

Furthermore, among the demon race, there is a distinction between those who have transformed into human form and those who have not, which has little to do with cultivation level.

When ordinary demons are still minor demons, as long as they have made progress in their cultivation, they can basically comprehend the method of transformation. Moreover, usually, transformation is only for the convenience of movement, and there is no such thing as transforming into human form being more conducive to cultivation and enlightenment.

Some ancient species, or descendants of divine beasts and immortal beasts, find it relatively more difficult to transform into human form. Without cultivating special supernatural powers or having relevant talents, they usually need to go to the immortal realm before they can do so.

Melen wasn't interested in these little demons and waved his hand at Nasus, saying, "You guys handle these."

Then, he pointed to the leather book and laughed, "You won't believe it until you see it! I used to think that mastering a business route would be very profitable, but today I realize that it's more than just making money; it's practically printing money!"

As Nasus picked up the book and flipped through it, he asked, "What do you mean?"

The dogs, after all, have limited knowledge of the immortal realm; they only know the names of many resources and are unaware of their actual value.

Mellen casually pointed to one of them and said, "Jade marrow sand is an extremely precious resource with very high value. It can be used to create high-level array plates and also to forge top-tier magic treasures."

"To be honest, the Hundred Flower Immortal Wine of Flower Sound Valley is indeed excellent. It can not only enhance cultivation, but it is also gentler than taking pills. It also has the effect of stabilizing spiritual power and preventing qi deviation. The taste itself is also superb."

"These two can naturally be bartered; the key is the difference in value."

"According to the records in the book, the total value of the Jade Marrow Sand is a hundred times that of the Hundred Flower Immortal Wine that can be exchanged! It's equivalent to the demon race using 100 yuan worth of resources to exchange for other resources worth 1 yuan."

"Well, considering that the spiritual energy of the demon race is mostly crude, the stable spiritual energy of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Wine has a more important effect on them, but even so, this kind of exchange is still extremely profitable."

Nasus's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "These are all ours!"

Mellen chuckled, tapped Nasus's forehead, and said, "What are you thinking! Some things can be enjoyed alone, but others cannot. Even if we take over these, at most we'll get a larger share of the profits, but the original profit chain still needs to be maintained."

Nasus wiped his mouth and laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry, I understand!"

Mellen patted the Void Dog that was always lying at his feet and said, "Next, we only need to solve the last problem."

Mellen did not intend to release the Yellow Wind King, but instead followed the Void Dog into the Void Realm that the latter had created.

Although Void Dog had only recently learned the [Palm Void Realm] technique, its mythical talent and unparalleled massive size meant that once it unleashed its power, even a powerful figure like the Yellow Wind King would be trapped within it.

However, Void Dog needs some time to prepare when using [Palm Void Realm] to contain a large space. That's why Spike and the others took the initiative to attract the attention of the Yellow Wind King when they encountered the Yellow Wind King at Tianlang Mountain.

In fact, Mellen and his dogs had prepared several different plans, such as what to do if the death of the giant sea bream only attracted some investigations, or even if Huangfeng Ridge didn't find it at all.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly that King Huangfeng and his forces came out in full force, allowing Mellen to solve the problem once and for all.

In the void space, King Huangfeng had already removed his armor, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, his expression calm. He understood that since the enemy had only used his domain magic to trap him, he must still have some value and wouldn't die in a muddle.

King Huangfeng also tried to break through the void space, but no matter what methods he used, he could not do it, so he could only close his eyes and wait quietly.

Compared to the Yellow Wind King, the Ancient Elephant and the Snake seemed quite anxious, after all, they were at the mercy of the enemy, their lives hanging in the balance.

If those at the top are in such a state, the situation is even more dire for the more than 100,000 demon soldiers and generals below.

After an unknown amount of time, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the void space, and Mellen and the Void Dog stepped out.

King Huangfeng sensed the movement and suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked at the Void Dog and confirmed that this was the dog demon that had previously covered the sky, which was also the user of the Void Realm Space Divine Power.

Then, when the Yellow Wind King saw Melon, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he recognized Melon's identity based on his clothing and gold and jade bracelets.

King Huangfeng's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect? Are you planning to break the peace agreement between the demon race of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the immortal sect?!"

"A peace treaty?" Mellen was slightly taken aback, then asked, "I've never heard of it. Tell me about it."

King Huangfeng paused, scrutinizing Melon as if trying to determine if he was telling the truth. Seeing that Melon remained calm, King Huangfeng suppressed his anger and said, "According to the agreement between the demon race and the human race, the Ten Thousand Mountains will continue to provide special resources to the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, and the powerful immortal sects of Yuheng Heaven, including the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, are not allowed to attack the Ten Thousand Mountains at will."

Mellen's lips twitched. This was hardly a 'peace agreement'; to the demon race of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was clearly a humiliating treaty of tribute that ceded their sovereignty.

This is equivalent to the demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains paying protection money to the Golden Jade Immortal Sect in exchange for their peace and stability.

For the demon race of Yuheng Heaven, survival is definitely the top priority. Therefore, it is only natural that they would exchange some external resources for the right to survive and some additional autonomy.

For the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, the demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains are essentially free laborers, providing a continuous stream of profits and saving them the cost of development.

Even thinking in a darker direction, the demon race in the Ten Thousand Mountains is itself a kind of 'resource'. Raising them in the Ten Thousand Mountains seems to be no different from raising the spirit birds and beasts in the Melun Cloud Mountain Cave.

It's a win-win situation.

These thoughts flashed through Mellen's mind, but he said aloud, "I didn't know any of this before, and it wasn't me who attacked you, but the demon king of Tianlang Mountain. I just happened to be passing by and came to watch the show."

"You...!" King Huangfeng suppressed his anger and looked at the Void Dog, questioning, "Then what did it say? There isn't one among the demon kings of Tianlang Mountain, is there?!"

Mellen waved his hand dismissively and said, "You can probably tell that my dog ​​is far stronger than me. It usually obeys orders but not commands. I can't command it. It came to help because it has some connection with the demon king of Tianlang Mountain. I have no choice."

The Void Dog blinked, looked up at Mellen's slightly aggrieved expression, and gently rubbed against Mellen's trouser leg, indicating that it was usually very well-behaved, so why was it 'obeying orders but not commands'?

Mellen chuckled and quickly patted the Void Dog's head in a gesture of comfort.

After hearing this, King Huangfeng almost blushed. He forced himself to calm down and said coldly, "Since that's the case, they have broken the rules of my demon race. They will be dealt with by the strong of my demon race in the future. You have no reason to interfere, right?"

Mellen blew on his nails and said casually, "How can that be? My dog's friend is my friend. Offending my friend is offending me, and offending me is offending the Golden Jade Immortal Sect. I advise you to think carefully about the consequences."

King Yellow Wind wanted to say something sarcastic, but he didn't dare.

King Huangfeng could tell that although Meilun's cultivation level was not high, his strength was unfathomable. He was definitely not an ordinary inner disciple of the Golden Jade Immortal Sect, but very likely one of the Ten Heroes.

Such a talented disciple, let alone the Yellow Wind King being unable to deal with him, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to kill him.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, let's get down to business," said Mellen.

Chapter 621 Mastering the Channels

Mellen's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression, as he asked lightly, "Want to die? Or want to live?"

Although Mellen's strength was not yet at the Immortal Realm, his words still sent a chill down the spines of Gu Xiang and Si She, filling them with a sense of unease.
