Fang Yuan was burning with anger, wishing he could find the bastard impersonating him right now and tear him to pieces!
Sensing his big brother's fury, the Vajra Giant Ape hurriedly asked, "Big brother, should we clarify with the Great Qin Empire and say that someone is impersonating you? After all, we shouldn't take the blame for nothing!"
The Vajra Giant Ape also detested the person pretending to be his big brother, gnashing its teeth in anger. That bastard was wreaking havoc outside and wanted to make Yin Yue Mountain the scapegoat. How could things be so easy?
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan paused, hesitating a bit. But then he remembered the barrage of insults he'd seen online aimed at him and let out a cold snort. "Humph, clarify what? What's there to clarify? When have I, the Demon Monarch, ever been subjected to others' judgment?"
"Since these people think it was the Demon Monarch's doing, then the Demon Monarch will show them it really was!"
The people of the Great Qin Empire have been getting more and more dismissive of him lately, spouting nonsense online every day. Did they really believe the Demon Monarch was afraid of that ridiculous Willow God?
As he pondered this, a harsh light gleamed in the depths of Fang Yuan's dark eyes.
"Huh? Big brother, do you really intend to make a move against the Great Qin Empire?"
The Vajra Giant Ape was startled. His big brother was always so headstrong. The imposter hadn't even been found yet, and he was already planning to strike at the Great Qin Empire.
They must know that the Great Qin Empire had the Willow God guarding them. If he were drawn into this, his big brother might not be able to handle it!
After all, the enemy was a formidable adversary who could rival his big brother's strength.
The Vajra Giant Ape, who paid close attention to online information, had naturally seen the battle between Willow God and Thunder Tiger, clearly recognizing the formidable power of Willow God.
"Willow God, so what? These humans are only so arrogant because they have that ridiculous Willow God backing them up.
Next, I will teach the Great Qin Empire a harsh lesson and see if they can act so smug and forget their past pains!"
Frowning, Fang Yuan felt a bit irked by what Vajra had said. Could the Great Qin Empire really be an impassable hell for him? Wasn't he an Ancient Demon Monarch who couldn't be touched?
Besides, he was not without backup plans.
"Big brother... the Willow God really is very powerful, you see..."
The Vajra Giant Ape wanted to persuade him further, as they were in the same boat. If the other party got into trouble, his fate would likely be dire too.
"Enough with the nonsense. Gather the demon soldiers and prepare to head out with the Demon Monarch!"
Fang Yuan glared at the Vajra Giant Ape and shouted.
"Yes, yes, big brother, I'll handle it right away!"
Seeing his big brother's determination, the Vajra Giant Ape could only nod helplessly, turning to rush toward the valley outside.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Fang Yuan spoke again.
"Uh, big brother, do you have any further instructions?"
The Vajra Giant Ape retracted his step and turned back to ask.
"Keep an eye out and find out who the bastard impersonating me and causing trouble is!"
Fang Yuan's eyes were full of icy hostility as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Though he didn't care about his reputation among humans, that didn't mean he was willing to take the blame for someone else.
The other party was using his appearance to frame him, and there was no way he would let them get away with it.
"Alright, big brother, as soon as there's news, I'll report to you immediately! This imposter deserves death, and once we catch him, I will definitely brutally torture him for you, big brother."
The Vajra Giant Ape nodded vigorously, shouting with shared fury and indignation.
"Alright, go ahead and arrange it quickly!"
Fang Yuan's tone was indifferent.
"Got it!"
The Vajra Giant Ape gave a slight bow and quickly turned to stride out of the valley.
"Humph! I, the Demon Monarch, act independently. Why should a little brother know all my reasons? Of course, I know Willow God's strength!"
Glancing at the Vajra Giant Ape's departing figure, Fang Yuan let out a faint snort.
His decision was not made in a fit of rage to retaliate against the Great Qin Empire.
Though the insults from the Great Qin Empire infuriated him, that alone wasn't enough to make him come out and become enemies with them again.
The real reason was that he wanted to seize the opportunity of a massive battle to gather the life force on the battlefield, break through the bottleneck of his Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture, and simultaneously use the large-scale slaughter of Great Qin Empire people to replenish the missing malicious spirits in his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
In past battles, many malicious spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had been killed, and during the recent battle at Kunlun Mountain, facing Qiongqi's Soul-Burning Fire, the banner had suffered even greater losses.
This almost caused the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to be severely damaged. The number of malicious spirits within had reached a critical point. If the number decreased further, the banner might even drop from the level of a Spirit Treasure.
"That damned Qiongqi, don't let me find you!"
Summoning the Ten Thousand Souls Banner before him, Fang Yuan felt a pang of heartache as he gazed at the slightly dimming spiritual light on the blood-red banner surface.
It was the only Spirit Treasure he had now. If it truly fell to the level of a magical artifact, he would undoubtedly vomit blood in despair.
...
"Kekeke, you damned humans, become the Demon Monarch's blood feast!"
Above a city of the Great Qin Empire, a black tiger stood in black mist, looking at the screaming humans below, letting out a series of sinister laughs.
The black mist surged around the black tiger, as evil spirits and ghosts wailed and rampaged through the city, harvesting lives.
Many people of the Great Qin Empire fled in terror along the streets, while the terrifying-looking evil spirits and ghosts chased closely behind, tauntingly scaring the humans.
Only after these people were scared witless did the spirits tear them to shreds, leaving the ground a blood-red mess, littered with corpses.
"Kekeke, the taste of fear is delicious, absolutely delicious!"
Feeling the power of fear gathering from all directions, the black tiger laughed wildly.
Ten minutes later, the black tiger rode the black mist out of the city, leaving behind a deathly silent, blood-soaked city.
The black tiger flew over a hundred miles before finally descending in a forest.
Under a giant tree, black energy coiled around the black tiger's body, and in the next moment, it transformed into a Qiongqi.
As it turned out, the one impersonating Fang Yuan and wreaking havoc in the Great Qin Empire was Qiongqi, who had escaped from Kunlun Mountain earlier.
"Humph, Black Demon Tiger, I wonder if you enjoy the gift I've sent you?"
Qiongqi snorted coldly, his eyes filled with smugness.
He did this, of course, as an act of revenge.
If Fang Yuan hadn't ruined his plans last time and stalled time, the Donghuang Bell might already have been in his hands.
After narrowly escaping, Qiongqi began following the online information of the Great Qin Empire and naturally noticed the conflict between Black Demon Tiger and the Great Qin Empire.
He happened to be able to absorb the fear of living beings for cultivation resources, which sparked the idea of impersonating Black Demon Tiger and wreaking havoc in the Great Qin Empire.
