Qingfeng Li remembered it clearly that back on Earth, his father, the Conqueror had left him with a Conqueror’s Badge. With it, he could summon the Ten Great Demon Kings.
Qingfeng Li had once used it back on Earth to summon the other Devils. However, three of them did not respond.
After some inquires, he learned that those three Devils had long ago left Earth and headed to other planets through their own avenues.
The Wind-Edge Demon King had once told him that one of those three Devils had gone to the Crimson Fire Continent on Mars. He also mentioned that if they should meet, Qingfeng Li should definitely ask for his help.
Never in his wildest dreams would Qingfeng Li have guessed that he would meet one of the Ten Great Demon Kings under these circumstances.
Qingfeng Li could clearly sense that this First Devil was extremely powerful, stronger than even him. This fact shocked him.
It had to be said that Qingfeng Li was practicing a Saint level technique. That was why he had been able to progress at such an astonishing rate, far outpacing others. Could it be that this First Devil also practiced a Saint level technique?
While Qingfeng Li had been examining Wutian Mo, Wutian Mo also glanced over at him.
“You remind me of someone I knew, once,” he spoke.
Qingfeng Li smiled back at him. “You mean the Conqueror, Third Master Li?”
Hearing these words, Wutian Mo’s pupils contracted. His expression changed to one of surprise, as though he had just heard something unbelievable. Wutian Mo held a great deal of respect for the name of the legendary Conqueror Third Master Li.
Back on Earth, he had been one of the Conqueror’s subordinates. The Conqueror had once saved his life and he became one of the Ten Great Demon Kings under his command. They ruled over the entire area of Huaxia and, back then, he had followed the Conqueror on many campaigns all over Earth.
Wutian Mo still remembered it clearly. The Conqueror had entrusted him with a mission to search for treasure in a mysterious and dangerous place.
And Wutian Mo had indeed found treasures there. It was a cavern left behind by a saint of the Ancient Era and inside, there had been techniques and vitality stones.
Wutian Mo had collected all the saint level techniques, vitality stones, and Dharma treasures in the cave of the saint. But just as he had been preparing to return to the Conqueror with the treasures, he had accidentally entered a interspatial transportation array.
That transportation array was set up by the Saint from the Ancient Era. And it had sent him straight to Mars.
Mars was too far away from Earth. Unless he could become a Saint himself, he would never be able to return. From then on, Wutian Mo had stayed on Mars and he began practicing the Saint level technique.
Wutian Mo was extremely talented himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been selected by the Conqueror to become one of the Ten Great Demon Kings.
It only took him a few years to learn the Saint’s techniques. Then, step-by-step, he advanced to the Spirit monarch realm Eighth Class.
This time, he had entered the Sun Mystic Realm with the intention of finding the Sun Monarch’s treasures and using them to reach the Saint Realm.
Wutian Mo had always kept the dream alive that, once he became a Saint, he would return to Earth to his master, the Conqueror. It was his greatest wish.
However, he had been surprised when he met a young man in one of Mars’s cities that looked so similar to the Conqueror.
Wutian Mo stared at Qingfeng Li. “Who are you to the Conqueror?” he asked.
Qingfeng Li smiled. “The Conqueror, Third Master Li, was my father,” he replied. “I’m his son.”
Wutian Mo’s expression underwent a series of rapid changes. He was the First of the Ten Great Demon Kings. Even in all of the Crimson Fire Continent, his power ranked among the top twenty. He was no doubt a master of great renown. In addition to that, he was also the Number One master on the Devil Rankings.
But now, his expression had changed several times in a row. If anyone else saw this, they would no doubt be surprised. Surely only a matter of great importance could the Number One Devil so unsettled.
Wutian Mo shook his head. “What proof do you have that you are the son of the Conqueror, Third Master Li?” he asked.
With a thought, Qingfeng Li removed the Conqueror’s Badge from his interspatial ring. “Behold, the Conqueror’s Badge!” Qingfeng Li said aloud. “The presence of the Conqueror’s Badge holds the same weight as the presence of the Conqueror himself. First Devil, Wutian Mo, do you still refuse to kneel?”
Seeing the obsidian Conqueror’s Badge, Wutian Mo’s expression settled on something like awe as he threw himself down to his knees. There was reverence in his voice as he spoke, “Of the Ten Great Demon Kings, the Black Tiger Demon King, humbly greets the Young Master.”
Having heard Wutian Mo’s words, the self-cultivator gathered around looked on in shock. There was awe in their eyes, along with heavy disbelief.
Just now, they had thought that Qingfeng Li was certainly going to die. He appeared to be just a handsome man with no power or background.
However, to their utter shock, the infamous First Devil of the Crimson Fire Continent, whose name had struck fear into the hearts of an entire generation, was kneeling before Qingfeng Li, calling him Young Master.
How powerful must this Qingfeng Li’s background be? They couldn’t imagine.
Not only were the by-standers shocked, Biao Huo, too, wore an expression of awe.
As the Monarch of a Top-Tier Dynasty, he was indeed strong both in personal strength and influence. However, he still could not compare to the Number One Devil on the Devil Rankings.
At this moment, Biao Huo’s heart was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that this man had such influence, he would never have come into this store. However, it was too late. Besides, his son was still in the other’s clutches. This wasn’t going to be an easy situation to resolve.
Qingfeng Li did not look at anyone else in the room. He only stared ahead at Wutian Mo, a hint of joy in his eyes.
Although Qingfeng Li wasn’t at all afraid of Biao Huo and his son, and could kill them easily, he was still very happy to see Wutian Mo. He could sense his immense power.
In addition, as the Number One Devil on the Devil Rankings, Wutian Mo must have powerful subordinates. For example, many lower-ranking devils on the Devil Rankings followed the orders of the Number One Devil. This was no doubt a powerful force.
With Wutian Mo’s help, Qingfeng Li would certainly have a much easier time in the Sun Mystic Realm. Even if he met a self-cultivator from one of the Four Supreme Dynasties, he needn’t be afraid any longer. In addition, Qingfeng Li was dead set on obtaining the treasures of the Sun Monarch.
Qingfeng Li knew that, once he received the treasures of the Sun Monarch, his power would grow at an astonishing rate. When he left the Sun Mystic Realm, he would have his final battle with the overlord of the planet, the Crimson Fire Monarch. And only one of them would leave the battle alive.
This was why Qingfeng Li needed to quickly increase his power in the Sun Mystic Realm. Only with greater power could he hope to survive the coming duel.
Qingfeng Li looked to Wutian Mo. “Stand up,” he said. “You needn’t kneel any longer.”
“Yes, Young Master,” Wutian Mo raised his hands in salute before standing.
By now, Wutian Mo had realized that the Young Master’s power level was below his own. However, the other was the son of the Conqueror, Third Master Li, who was the person that Wutian Mo admired the most. Because of this, even if Qingfeng Li was weaker than him, he still willingly called him “Young Master.”
