I am a living immortal.

Man Lie took a deep breath and didn't move. Those few casual blows had already brought him to his knees in humiliation. If a fight broke out, it wouldn't just be humiliation, it would be self-humiliation. Man Lie wouldn't do such a thing.

Don't be fooled by his outward appearance of recklessness; in reality, he was truly reckless. However, when faced with life-threatening danger, even the most reckless person would become extremely sober. It seemed like a similar scene had occurred several years ago.

That time was also fresh in his memory. A young man he could have strangled with one hand came up to him and asked him to join an organization called the Demon Alliance. What a joke! He, Man Lie, had been the king of the Zhongling Mountains for so many years, and now he was being forced to become inferior. How could it be possible?

At that time, he laughed three times and wanted to strangle the other person to death.

But the fact was, in that battle, he had been slaughtered just as mercilessly as he was today. He suddenly understood the immense strength hidden within this seemingly frail young man. That was the first time he felt fear. The indifference to life in his eyes made him realize that if he refused, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

So he lowered his noble head from the bottom of his heart.

He also became the first Great Demon member of the Demon Alliance. Twenty-seven of them, and he was the first. However, this didn't bring him much glory. Just as the old goat had thought, the reason the young man had chosen him first was simple: rather than negotiate with these arrogant Great Demons, it would be better to simply kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and give everyone else a chance to watch.

Smart people will naturally know how to choose.

The choice of this chicken was a serious one: it couldn't be weak, its influence couldn't be poor, and its status couldn't be too low. After much deliberation, Manli caught his eye.

Well, great minds think alike.

Since then, the Demon Alliance officially took the stage in the Zhongling Mountains. This new force continued to expand in the following years.

Thinking of this, Man Lie subconsciously shuddered, and the dense demonic aura around him vanished. This little bit of humiliation was nothing compared to why he had just associated the leader with the person who had attacked him.

Under the pressure of life and death, his mind, which had not been used for a thousand years, turned for a moment and came to a conclusion: the person standing on the Leaping Sparrow was at the same level as the Demon Alliance Leader. You know, all the great demons are saying that the Demon Alliance Leader has reached a level above the great demons.

And that state of mind is loosened because of the loosening of heaven and earth.

He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw it again, he believed it. Man Lie was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Although he was humiliated and lost face, he didn't dare to retaliate and could only swallow the bitter fruit. But no matter what Man Lie thought, this gust of wind blew across the entire Zhongling Mountains.

The sky is about to change. Whether it was the fleeing purple rat or the great demons casting their gazes, this was the thought in their minds.

All sight disappeared.

The old goat was very satisfied with the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. After a while, he said with regret: "I'm in this state, and the leader of the Demon Alliance doesn't care?"

The jumping titmouse didn't know the reason.

I don't know. Logically speaking, no matter what, this concerns the reputation of the Demon Alliance. It's impossible to just brush it off lightly, let alone not even a single person. This is extremely abnormal.

"We'll find out after we ask."

The leaping sparrow flapped its wings and flew off in one direction. Unlike the stone forest where Manli was, that place was the center of the entire Zhongling Mountains. The Zhongling Mountains were blessed with unique natural conditions. Not only was it vast, but it was also a vast wonder of nature, a natural spiritual gathering feng shui formation.

The most core area of ​​the formation is the headquarters of the Demon Alliance.

In fact, it was obvious that the trees there were taller and thicker than those on the outskirts. A primeval forest of hundreds of meters tall giant trees. This was a restricted area for all outsiders. While there might be traces of human activity on the outskirts of the Zhongling Mountains, it was completely impossible for humans to appear in this core area.

Even experienced old hunters dared not get close.

They only dared to stay on the periphery. The danger was one reason, but the greater reason was the sheer size of the Zhongling Mountains, an unimaginable magnitude. Even the meager imaginations of mortals could not fathom the vastness of this mountain forest. Although there were no human kingdoms around the Zhongling Mountains,

Yet, humans still exist, scattered across thousands of villages, large and small. They live in isolation, relying on hunting and farming for survival. Those who settled in the Zhongling Mountains mostly fled war, finding the abundant resources here a haven for reproduction and growth.

Furthermore, the Zhongling Mountains are special, not just for their monsters. Plants and even humans are special, too. This specialness is reflected in the people who live in the Zhongling Mountains: they are taller, have greater bone density, greater endurance, and are stronger.

Even a young man here, barely a full-grown, could defeat a hundred men outside. And that was before he'd even trained. The villages that managed to survive in the Zhongling Mountains all had some kind of heritage. These heritages weren't so much inheritance as experience.

What kind of magical herbs can be taken to strengthen the body.

How to exercise to unleash your potential, run faster, jump higher, and see farther. These experiences have been passed down from generation to generation and are still crude, but they are undeniably effective.

If they could not fight with the wild beasts living in the Zhongling Mountains, they would not be able to survive.

As I said, the environment makes the difference. Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines.

The same goes for humans.

Back to the present, humans' reluctance to approach is a matter of wisdom, while beasts' reluctance to approach is instinctive. Therefore, those who dare to enter the core area of ​​the Zhongling Mountains are mostly powerful demons or spirits. They are extremely brave. And to say that this core area is overflowing with magical herbs and natural treasures is a joke, but the quantity is truly far greater than in other areas.

Here, century-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum look like weeds.

Even the more established monsters wouldn't bother to pick it up, let alone fight for it. They usually fought over wood spirits like the ginseng doll.

As soon as he entered this area, the old goat felt a sudden surge in the concentration of spiritual energy. This truly was a perfect place for cultivation. It was a shame it was occupied by demons. A flying mountain sparrow, soaring through the sky, attracted considerable attention. There were still many demons and spirits here. The gazes weren't the kind of wary ones who'd just entered the Zhongling Mountains, but rather curiosity and envy.

With the speed of a leaping tit, they soon spotted a palace nestled in the trees hundreds of meters high. Unlike the traditional celestial palaces, with their exquisite carvings and jade masonry, this palace exuded a majestic grandeur. Constructed from a variety of massive stones, the old goat, at a height of about 1.8 meters, was not even as tall as the doorway before the palace's gate, demonstrating its immense size.
