A man does not harm a tiger's will, but a tiger has hurt a man's will.

Although the 'Monster King' had two mortals following him, and he had yet to do anything to harm humans, they were not of my race. His heart must be different, and I had to be on guard.

When Chi Dan entered the city, many people noticed his rash and irritable behavior.

If there is a bold person to anger it, the consequences are unpredictable, it is difficult to guarantee that the city door fire will not affect the fish, safe, away from the best.

The four underlings of the Yan Sect had the same thought. There were many other cultivators in the city who had the same thought. They either went to the east side or left the city.

As the cause of this phenomenon, Chi Dan had no idea about it. He thought it would only affect a few small towns nearby, but unexpectedly, it would affect the entire city.

Ever since it had entered the city, a magical phenomenon had occurred.

Some of the cultivators in the sect were tasked with not leaving the city. As soon as the red dans appeared in the western part of the city, many of them immediately headed to the eastern part of the city.

A portion of the cultivators in the sect were here to train and inquire about the whereabouts of a child. After the red dans appeared, many of the cultivators immediately left the city, while others rushed to the east.

Rogue cultivators, always alone, with no tasks on their hands, appeared in the western part of the city. Some of the Rogue Cultivators left the city while others went to the east part of the city because they did not want to leave the city for the time being.

The Eastern City was already packed with people. Cultivators came and went from the North and South City, and the number of cultivators varied constantly. On the other hand, the Western City was packed with fewer and fewer cultivators.

There were many cultivators who had the same thoughts as the four Yan Sect spies; only the four of them were the unluckiest.

The result of their discussion was that, of course, the earlier they left, the safer it would be. In the end, they were still a step too late.

The sudden voice scared them stiff. They looked over and saw a figure suddenly appearing. The four of them were completely frozen and unable to move.

If the owner of the question had been a human, they wouldn't have acted this way.

Relying on a single figure and a single voice, the four were actually frightened stiff. The identity of the figure's owner was almost known to all — it was the Desolate Words Demonic King, Chi Dan, whom everyone had no time to evade.

"Submit, use words, demon, demon king …"

Upon seeing the appearance of the Crimson Core, the four of them sat cross-legged. Their feet felt as if they were pressed down by a heavy stone and they couldn't get up. Their bodies kept trembling as they tried to escape, but they couldn't do anything.

"Monster King?"

"Are you talking about me?"

When Chi Dan saw the startled "Recharge the Words Demon King", other than himself and the four others, there was no one else around him. He was still a little uncertain as to how he should address him.

It was very clear about his cultivation level. It did not understand why Qin Wentian called it Demon King. It only wanted to clarify the reason, and did not blame him.

"No, my … my Demon King, I know I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have called you that!"

To the vast majority of cultivators, only cultivators who had reached the Demonic Lord Realm, Demonic Beast Realm, or Beast God Realm would be able to understand the human language. Demonic Beasts below the Demonic King Realm did not possess this ability.

Only very few cultivators knew that the most basic innate ability of a mutant beast was its ability to understand the human language.

During the times of peace between the demons and humans, many beasts lived in seclusion. After thousands of years, almost no one knew about the existence of these beasts.

The Five Immortal Traces had a history of more than five thousand years. The sect had many ancient scrolls, some of which contained records of strange beasts.

However, after so many years, cultivators were obsessed with cultivation. Only a few cultivators were interested in hearing about strange beasts and looked through the records before finding out about their existence.

Due to the fact that many people didn't know about the existence of strange beasts, the city was in chaos. It was precisely because the four spies of the Yan Sect were so obsessed with cultivation and didn't know about the existence of strange beasts that they didn't suspect the identity of Chi Dan.

Demonic beasts were different from humans. They did not have a family name.

If a demon beast could become a human spirit beast, its master would give it a name. If it couldn't become a spirit beast, the demon beast would have its own title after becoming a demon king.

Now that Chi Dan had become the "Demon King", the people of this world still did not know of his title. Seeing him use words to scam others for his fortune, they called him the "Demon King".

Because this nickname was extremely disrespectful to the "Demon King", everyone could only call him in private.

In a state of extreme nervousness and fear, he called Chidan by his nickname, and seeing him in a daze, thought that he was temporarily unaware of his nickname.

"Your Highness Demon King?"

"Haha, laozi is the Monster King!"

Out of the five major realms of a demonic beast, after the Scarlet Core advanced, Fu Yun told it.

In these five years, his Scarlet Core had advanced three times. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Demon Lord Realm, and he was only a step away from breaking through. His cultivation speed was extremely fast.

However, in terms of cultivation, demon beasts were similar to humans. The more one cultivated, the slower they would cultivate, and the more difficult it would be to advance.

Although the Crimson Core had reached the realm of a Demonic Lord and was only a step away, there was no opportunity. Ten years, dozens of years, or even hundreds of years, it was not certain that he would be able to break through to the realm of a Demonic Lord.

Fortunately, Chi Dan had a very good master to guide him. It was not impossible for him to break through to the realm of a Demonic Lord within ten years.

His cultivation was at the peak of the great demon realm, yet he actually called himself the Demon King. Upon hearing the Demon King's name, he was extremely pleased.

"My lord!"

Seeing Chi Dan laughing loudly and admitting his identity, the four of them felt like they were lost. They felt that something was amiss, but they couldn't pinpoint it.

"What kind of expression is that?"

"Hurry up and pay your respects to This King when you see him!"

The four of them had puzzled expressions. Chi Dan knew that he had leaked the information, so he immediately put on the airs of a demonic lord. He was extremely overbearing as he forced the four of them to pay him a visit.

"We pay our respects to the Demon King!"

Kneeling to a demon beast was not a shameful thing if news of this got out. Their lives were more important, so kneeling to the demon king wasn't much of a shame. The four of them didn't dare to hesitate and immediately kowtowed.

If they knew that they were played by a Demon Beast of the Demon Lord's Realm, their intestines would definitely be filled with regret. However, that was a matter of the future and they would still have to obediently kneel.

"Haha …"

"Alright …"

The four of them obediently kowtowed. Chi Dan was beyond happy.

When he ran into the mountains, he didn't hide anything from his companions. They would definitely follow him to check, so he was in no hurry to get them to stand. He was waiting for his companions to arrive and show them off.

As Chi Dan expected, Heaven's Gift really did come.

Little Dan ran past him and into the mountains. He must have found something to run away without even bothering to greet him.

Every time he found some strange flowers and fruits, some rare treasures, he would not greet them. Instead, he would go out and eat alone. When he was full, he would come back satisfied.

Once, Little Dan ran out again, and he quietly followed behind it. He looked around and found that Little Dan had found some kind of wild fruit and quietly ate it.

From then on, when Little Dan went out alone, he would definitely secretly follow her.

Little Dan advanced to the peak of the great demon level and his running speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he was gone and his speed could not keep up with his speed. He could only rely on his intuition to catch up.

This time was different from the past. He rushed to Little Dan's side, but he didn't see any strange fruits. He only saw four people kneeling in front of Little Dan.

Seeing this scene, he was immediately stunned.

"Little Dan, what did you do to them?"

"They … Why would they kneel to you?"

Ever since he could remember, after his grandparents passed away, Heaven granted him the chance to kneel down and worship in front of his grandparents' grave. The first time he saw his senior brother was at the request of his village head uncle.

All these years in the martial arts world, he had never kowtowed to anyone, because he had always believed that all people were equal, and that they should not kneel and kowtow to each other.

Now that he saw four people kowtowing to Little Dan, he couldn't believe his eyes. He believed that Little Dan must have done something to the four of them to make them kneel.

"How dare you? Why aren't you kneeling after seeing me? Do you not want to live?"

He really wanted his comrades to appear. Seeing his majestic appearance, yet not wanting his companions to appear, destroying the atmosphere and exposing the truth, Chi Dan was truly conflicted.

He had long guessed that his comrades would ruin the atmosphere. As expected, when his partners appeared, they called him by his name and even questioned him, fearing that the matter would be exposed and he would be retaliated against by the four of them.

"Monster King?"

"So that's how it is!"

Little Dan had followed him and evolved a few times since he was young. He was very clear about the cultivation realm Little Dan had reached today. Little Dan was a demonic lord. He could deceive others, but not him.

On the surface, Little Dan was purposely domineering and extremely rude to him.

In reality, it was telling him why the four of them were kneeling to it.

After Little Dan's performance, he understood that the four of them mistook her for a demonic lord and decided to kneel down and worship her.

Actually, the one the four of them were kowtowing to wasn't Little Dan, but the Monster King.

That's right, he only needed to know that Little Dan was the demon king. Even if Little Dan didn't do anything, it would still be enough for the four of them to kneel down.

"Forget it, you don't need to kneel."

"All four of you, stand up. This Demon King has something to ask you!"

The only reason he wanted his companions to kneel was to tell his companions why the four of them were kneeling to him. He didn't really want his companions to kneel to him.

If he forced his partner to kneel to him, the moment he angered his partner, he would definitely cause trouble. Not only would his Demon King identity not be preserved, he would even be retaliated by the four of them.

Due to its understanding of its comrades, not only did it not make its partners kneel, it even ordered the four of them to stand up and wait for their reply.

"Thank you, Lord Demon King!"

With the Demon King's orders, the four of them did not dare disobey and immediately stood up with respect. They waited for the Demon King to speak, not daring to do anything unnecessary.

Ten years of travelling in the martial arts world was akin to competing for natural resources. Survival of the fittest was the rule of this world, and Heaven's Gift was extremely clear.

The four of them wore the same attire, and on their clothes were the markings of a fire dragon. Although it was unknown which sect they came from, it was clear that they belonged to the cultivators.

Little Dan pretended to be the Demon King and humiliated the four of them. Once his identity was exposed, the four of them would definitely chase after him with all their might.

At the same time, not only would the four of them not be grateful to him for exposing Little Dan's identity, they would even kill him to silence him. He definitely wouldn't be so foolish as to harm himself and Little Dan.

Seeing that his comrade hadn't exposed him, Chi Dan was extremely satisfied and continued to put on airs.
