Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

This palace looks even taller than a mountain, reaching straight into the sky.

Whether you call it rugged or magnificent, it boils down to one word: grand, with a distinctly exotic style. The old goat has seen towering buildings before; which of the structures built by primordial deities wasn't larger than this? But the style is different.

If the spiritual abodes of human immortals reveal true wisdom in the details, then the primordial deities embody the weight of mythology and history, where mystery and grandeur coexist. The architecture of this palace is synonymous with ruggedness; there are no elaborate sculptures, everything is made from raw materials, yet it doesn't feel shabby, but rather exudes a majestic aura.

It has the characteristics of the demon race.

Before arriving at the palace, Leaping Sparrow had already transformed into human form and introduced the old goat. Huge creatures occasionally passed by them, some clearly familiar to Leaping Sparrow, but due to the old goat's show of force, they dared not approach to greet him, only to observe from afar. The palace was guarded by two figures with elephant-headed bodies and human bodies, wielding enormous axes.

The two behemoths took one look at Leaping Sparrow and let it go, without giving the old goat any trouble. It wasn't clear if it was because of Leaping Sparrow's face or because of the unmatched strength the old goat had displayed upon his arrival, but it was probably more the latter.

Furthermore, the two gatekeepers looked formidable, but they were mere figures in front of the great demon. How could they dare to stop Old Goat, a ruthless individual who had defeated a great demon in his first encounter? And judging by Leaping Sparrow's appearance, it was clear he had also suffered greatly. He was looking at them vaguely.

After entering the palace, someone came.

"What kind of junk did you bring back this time?" The man's voice was soft, and he kept glancing at the old goat. The old goat didn't mind; he could tell from the tone of the voice that it was someone he knew.

"Don't talk nonsense."

This also resembled a young man. Of course, who could become a great demon wouldn't be hundreds of years old? It was just an appearance. However, this reckless personality suited Yue Shanque very well.

"How can you say such things? It's all over the place, saying you brought back a ruthless guy who ripped up the Barbarians' territory right away. That old fogey of the Barbarians is probably still hiding at home crying his eyes out."

The leaping tit was speechless: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull your tongue out."

Sure enough, the young man fell silent.

The leaping titmouse said with a fawning smile, "Don't pay him any mind; he's just a gossipy rooster."

"Tch, you're just a chattering sparrow." The young man, clearly displeased at being called a gossipy rooster, was visibly annoyed.

In the old goat's opinion, the Leaping Tit wasn't just any tit, but a Fire Rock Tit. So, this rooster was probably no ordinary rooster either. The old goat couldn't tell what species it was, but it did have a certain air of foresight, perhaps possessing some kind of magical power, like crowing to announce the dawn.

The big rooster trembled when he saw the old goat's look.

He hid behind the jumping tit.

Compared to the big rooster, the old goat was more concerned about the fact that their eyes collided in the air and both of them were briefly stunned.

The jumping tit followed the old goat's gaze and suddenly understood.

The bearded old man walked up to the old goat: "You..."

"We're from the same root, Lin Yiyang."

The old man named Lin Yiyang sighed: "That's quite amazing."

The old goat was also a bit surprised. It wasn't uncommon for the same species to become demons. Most of Man Hye's subordinates were pig demons, so it wasn't unusual. But encountering one still gave him a bit of a shock. Even more surprising was the fact that both were transformed, powerful demons.

That’s right, Lin Yiyang’s true form is also a goat.

This requires some discussion. After all, it is rare to see a species as stupid as a goat become a monster, not to mention that both of them are transformed monsters.

"What kind of weird name is Lin Yiyang?!" the old goat complained. "This name doesn't look like something a great demon could come up with."

The Leaping Sparrow knew: "Lin Yiyang wasn't actually the goat's name, but rather the name of its former master. However, its master had died hundreds of years ago, and when it transformed into human form, it inherited that human's name, becoming Lin Yiyang. In fact, its transformed appearance did bear some resemblance to its predecessor, Lin Yiyang."

"Domestic?" the old goat asked bluntly.

Lin Yiyang wasn't angry: "Aren't you the same?"

"Well, I'm luckier than you. He's still alive, and he probably won't die for another thousand or eight hundred years."

"Tch, that's amazing! It's good to be free from the constraints of weak humanity."

"It's not weak at all; it's quite strong."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Lin Yiyang instantly broke down.

The old goat looked like a winner.

The jumping tits watched the whole thing. Could this even be compared? It was truly amazing. Of course, although both were goats, the two had no blood connection for at least several generations.

If he came to find an ancestor for himself, the old goat would be suffocated to death. Fortunately, he didn't, otherwise the old goat might have killed him to prevent him from having another ancestor.

"What about the leader?" Yue Shan Que asked, skipping over the topic.

Lin Yiyang: "Your luck isn't good. The Alliance Leader went out some time ago; otherwise, how could outsiders be allowed to run rampant?"

The implication is that it refers to the old goat.

However, the old goat also looked regretful: "When will he come back?"

"You wouldn't believe it, it could take anywhere from one or two weeks to three or five years."

"This doesn't mean..." The old goat seemed about to say something, but the leaping tit quickly covered its mouth. Even though it was true, could one really say just anything like that?

Lin Yiyang's eyes were unfathomable. As a fellow goat, he certainly understood the old goat's train of thought, and he was also amazed at the strength of this fellow goat. This wasn't arrogance, but rather a confidence that came from within.

He knew what the old goat was going to say, which was nothing more than some words to replace it.

I have to admit that this fellow tribesman is much luckier than me.

"What are you planning to do next?" Lin Yiyang had his own territory in the Zhongling Mountains. Although he was also an outsider, not born in the Zhongling Mountains, the Demon Alliance had not yet been established before he came, and he had carved out this territory himself.

The future of the Demon Alliance's Zhongling Mountains was a chaotic place. Although he had already achieved Great Demon status by then, in a place like the Zhongling Mountains, Great Demons, though at the pinnacle, weren't just one or two, but as many as twenty or thirty. This was a Great Demon. Lin Yiyang had been quite shocked when he first arrived; it was due to his lack of knowledge. In such an environment, an outsider would naturally be ostracized.
