“You just got here, go to the armory and pick a weapon. Consider it as a welcome gift from Blackwind Cave.” Hong Yuan instructed.

“Thank you, Manager.”

Zhao Huai thanked Hong Yuan.

From today on, he would also be one of the bosses of Blackwind Cave. Things had progressed much faster than he’d imagined.

Indeed, as the Wild Boar King had said, strength ruled in Tianmu Mountain. As long as one was strong enough, climbing up and gaining abundant resources was a breeze.

For little demons like the Wild Boar King, this place was undoubtedly a doomsday scenario. No wonder he had chosen to flee.

“Work hard, little brother. I have faith in you.”

Hong Yuan blew a breath as fragrant as orchid towards Zhao Huai while flashing a sweet smile, her words full of trust.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai didn’t dare to let his guard down.

Was she trying to win him over?

He had just joined, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. She probably had ulterior motives.

Perhaps the relationship between the demons in Blackwind Cave was not as simple as he thought. Each of them might have their own unspeakable secrets.

Provoked by the Spider Demon, Zhao Huai felt a shiver run down his spine. He hurriedly said, “Manager, I need to get familiar with my new responsibilities, so please allow me to leave.”

“Also, Manager, could you spare my cousin? He was also deceived, but he has since repented. He joined me to serve here and led the way.”

Hong Yuan glanced at the tremulous Wild Boar King for a moment, then lazily said:

“You are a commander now. You can make the decision on this matter.” Whether a lowly pig demon lived or died was not important.

Besides, were these two brothers really relatives birthed from the same pigsty?

One was extraordinarily brave and martial, while the other was pathetically cowardly and timid – complete opposites.

Zhao Huai gave a significant look to the Wild Boar King, who understood immediately. He rushed forward and kowtowed, saying:

“Thank you, Manager! ”

Soon, Zhao Huai, Wild Boar King, and the Black Bear Commander left the immortal’s cave.

Hong Yuan stared at Zhao Huai’s retreating figure, her eyes deep, as if pondering something.

“Zhu Ganglie, can I make use of you?”

Zhu Ganglie’s strength had indeed shocked her. The power of that punch just now could make her struggle to hold on, even without Zhu Ganglie using his True Vigor.

She thought simply: such a powerful demon must serve her and not be taken away by others.

She knew many sisters competed for her position as manager.

Perhaps Zhu Ganglie would attract attention from grandma and get promoted. She might as well try to win him over now.

After leaving the cave, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the divination result remained “Fortune,” it meant he was on the right path.

With the direction provided by the Demon-Viewing Eye, he could now be sure that the hidden Demon King was in the deepest part of the immortal’s cave.

However, he didn’t have the level to meet them yet.

He would have to find a way to uncover the Demon King’s details, then directly strike and raise his cultivation.

“Pig Commander, congratulations on your promotion! From now on, we are colleagues!”, the Black Bear Commander said with a flattering face.

His tone contained a hint of respect.

The scene of the Crocodile Commander being killed by a single punch was still fresh in his mind; Zhu Ganglie’s strength exceeded his expectations.

“Of course.”

Zhao Huai also responded with a smile and a fist salute.

What he was thinking about, though, was how to eliminate the Black Bear Commander and regretting not killing him along with the Crocodile Commander earlier.

The Wild Boar King looked at Zhao Huai’s back and felt more invigorated.

With his cousin watching over him, who would dare to bully him?

For a moment, even the Wild Boar King thought Zhao Huai was a demon, not a human being. It was simply incredible!

“Everyone, I have an announcement!”

The Black Bear Commander stood at the entrance of the high cave and shouted to the group of demons below. His voice was like thunder, clearly audible to the small demons.

These little demons looked at the three in front of them with curiosity. What could have happened in such a short time to warrant an announcement?

“From today on, Zhu Ganglie is the new Executioner Commander of our Blackvvind Cave!”

The Black Bear Commander announced the news and also threw down the corpse of the Crocodile Commander. The body fell heavily to the ground.

Upon hearing this, the demons were in an uproar. Many of them rushed over to watch and discuss in shock.

“What? Crocodile Commander is dead! I just saw him, and he was fine.” “The Crocodile Commander has long transformed, and his strength is not

ordinary. Who killed him? Was it this so-called Zhu Ganglie?””lt might be so; he just died, and this Zhu Ganglie took his place.”

“It’s also possible that grandma arranged it. The Crocodile Commander was always sneaking off to eat prisoners, causing discontent among the insiders.”

Upon hearing their whispers, Zhao Huai’s face remained calm, without surprise.

He knew that him, suddenly assuming power, would inevitably be met with resistance from many little demons that could not accept it, or that it would spark gossip.

However, he didn’t care.

He wasn’t here to be a commander but to slay demons.

Killing those who didn’t obey would only increase his cultivation. As soon as he figured out the Demon King’s situation, the Blackwind Cave would be destroyed sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huai addressed the demons with a deep voice:

“I see many of you do not accept me. Those who do not, please step forward. If you can defeat me, you can become the commander.”

Upon hearing this,

some of the demons’ eyes couldn’t help but exhibit their eagerness. This was chance to be the commander!

This position, which was coveted by countless demons, could be attained simply by defeating this pig!

“I don’t accept!”

Immediately, a shout echoed within the crowd of demons.

Zhao Huai couldn’t help but laugh. There were really demons trying to court death; it couldn’t be any better.

He looked over and saw a tall and burly black cow demon.

Its limbs had successfully transformed, and its head had black horns. Its body was covered in tufts of black fur, donned in iron armor, standing at least two meters tall.

“It’s the Deputy Bull Commander. He and the Crocodile Commander were from the same place. Now that the Crocodile Commander has died, he probably wants revenge.”

“Yes, they say his strength is even greater than the Crocodile Commander’s. He only gave up the position because they were from the same place and had recommended him.”

“If this Zhu Ganglie only has connections to rely on, he’ll probably get beaten badly.”

The Black Cow Demon stared coldly at Zhao Huai, looking down on him.

“Are you Zhu Ganglie?”

Seeing his demeanor, Zhao Huai didn’t bother with pleasantries. Rubbing his wrists, he spoke indifferently, “If you want to fight, then fight, I’m busy, don’t waste my time with your nonsense.”

Furious at Zhao Huai’s words, the deputy’s large hands were about to grab his opponent’s throat.

But before he could react, a gale roared past him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself up above!

Looking down, he saw that he had been grabbed by Zhu Ganglie without even realizing it!

Zhao Huai gripped his iron armor, lifted him up, and then hurled him to the ground!

“Bang!”

The entire ground cracked, forming a large spiderweb-like crater.

Zhao Huai stepped on the Black Cow Demon’s iron armor and added a forceful kick.

With just that, the bleeding Deputy Bull Commander met his end.

Zhao Huai turned his head, his eyes coldly fixed on the assembled demons, and asked again. “Who else dares to challenge me?”

This time, the surroundings remained silent for a long time.

All the demons were intimidated, as the impressive Deputy Bull Commander had not even been able to withstand a single strike from Zhu Ganglie. He just… died?

At this moment, the Black Bear Commander reacted first. As the more experienced one, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and forced a smile at the crowd of demons, “This Pig Commander has killed the Crocodile Commander with a single punch. Deputy Bull sought his fate. You must not follow in his footsteps!”

“Greetings, Pig Commander!”

“Greetings, Pig Commander!”

“Greetings, Pig Commander!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd of demons was hit with a revelation. They spoke loudly, each of them bowing deeply, their demeanor reverent and respectful.

Now that the newly appointed Pig Commander possessed such formidable strength, they had nothing to say, and if they dared to resist, they would share the same fate as the two before them.

Zhao Huai calmly wiped his hands and remained unfazed.

Against the fully-transformed demon like Hong Yuan, it might have been a bit difficult, but against these partially transformed little demons before him, there wasn’t much difference from beating up a group of refining qi practitioners. Zhao Huai could simply crush them with his flesh body’s strength.

At this moment, a milky-white halo emerged from the corpse of the deputy and entered Zhao Huai’s body.

Brilliant light emitted from his Qi Sea.

Once again, Zhao Huai’s True Vigor surged, significantly increasing.

With a boom, he broke through the barrier and reached the fourth level of the Initiation Stage. At the same time, a flame ignited within his Qi Sea.

Innate Fire.

This meant that he had officially entered the middle stage of the Initiation Stage, ascending to a new level.
