The various Demon Kings had different dispositions.
Upon seeing Chen Jichuan suppress the Fuling Demon King, some were fearful and dared not provoke him, opting either to form alliances to protect themselves or to shut their doors and remain secluded.
However, there were also those with restless ambitions, secretly scheming to seize Wuling Mountain.
Others, skilled and audacious, observed for days but could not resist coming to challenge him.
...
The twenty-seventh day after Chen Jichuan took control of Wuling Mountain.
At midday.
"The spies prowling around Wuling Mountain are increasing in number and diversity. From the dozens we've captured so far, we've already interrogated information about twelve Demonic factions."
"On top of that, some of the little demons scouting outside Wuling Mountain have gone missing. Most are insignificant minions, but yesterday, four minor commanders were captured, and even a general narrowly escaped being caught."
