After Black Fur Monkey King finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Xu Yi's expression.
He saw Xu Yi biting the spirit fruit with a crunching sound, showing no unusual expression. Black Fur Monkey King felt a flicker of dissatisfaction.
Didn't Xu Yi know what would happen if Shenzhou fell into the hands of the Eight-Tailed White Fox?
The Eight-Tailed White Fox was pro-war and had allied with the demon race, which would leave the human race vulnerable from all sides.
How could Xu Yi still enjoy spirit fruits with peace of mind!
But Black Fur Monkey King soon deflated.
What could Xu Yi do even if she was angry? Could she, by herself, oppose the Eight-Tailed White Fox?
Black Fur Monkey King calmed himself and asked again, "What brings you to Shenzhou this time?"
Xu Yi put down the spirit fruit she had just picked up, looked up, and said solemnly, "Monkey King, I've come to ask you some questions."
"Ask me?" Black Fur Monkey King was a little surprised. "Go ahead."
Xu Yi nodded to it, then fumbled in her sleeve and took out a lotus platform, placing it in front of it.
"Have you seen this before?"
Black Fur Monkey King looked down and found the object unfamiliar. He reached out to take it.
As soon as he raised his arm, he felt a chill on his brow, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
He was shocked, clenched his fist, and looked around.
Seeing this, Xu Yi gave a warning glance to the Golden-Winged Great Roc on her shoulder, which had assumed an attacking posture.
The Golden-Winged Great Roc hesitated for a moment before slowly folding its wings.
At the same time, the sense of crisis in Black Fur Monkey King's heart receded like a tide, as if everything that had happened was just his illusion.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Monkey King? Monkey King?"
Without revealing the presence of the Golden-Winged Great Roc, Xu Yi pretended not to know what had happened and called out to Black Fur Monkey King a few times tentatively.
Black Fur Monkey King snapped back to his senses and looked down at the lotus platform again.
He had a feeling that what had just happened was related to the lotus platform.
Black Fur Monkey King thought for a moment, no longer intending to touch the lotus platform, but instead carefully examined it again.
After a long while, he said with certainty, "I have never seen this thing."
Xu Yi was not too disappointed by the answer and put the lotus platform back into her sleeve, changing the topic.
"Then do you know anything about the new Demon King?"
Black Fur Monkey King thought for a moment and guessed Xu Yi's intention for asking this question.
He then simply recounted what he knew about the new Demon King.
In fact, he hadn't had much contact with the new Demon King.
Although the Monkey King was considered the foremost general under the Demon King, that Demon King referred to the old Demon King.
The birthplace of the new Demon King, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, was tens of thousands of miles away from Monkey King Mountain.
Before the Golden-Winged Great Roc succeeded to the throne, Black Fur Monkey King had never even met it, only hearing many rumors about it.
For example, it was said to have innate intelligence, a pure bloodline, and extremely high combat power. It was highly regarded by many demonic beasts and had great prestige in Shenzhou, being the most promising successor among the Demon King candidates.
Later, at the Demon King's succession ceremony, Black Fur Monkey King finally saw the true form of the Golden-Winged Great Roc and was impressed by its bearing, believing it would be a qualified Demon King.
Who would have thought that not long after, the Demon King had an accident and has been missing ever since.
The information provided by Black Fur Monkey King was even less than what the Monkey King had told Xu Yi before.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Shenzhou had fallen, her trials were forcibly terminated, and now she hadn't gained any more clues. Her trip to Shenzhou was a complete failure.
"The Demon King has been missing for a long time, to find it..."
Although Black Fur Monkey King didn't finish speaking, the helplessness in his tone was not concealed.
In the first two hundred years after the Demon King's disappearance, the Monkey King had spent considerable effort searching but found nothing.
Xu Yi, as an outsider unfamiliar with Shenzhou's situation, would find it as difficult to find the Demon King as it was for her to defeat the Eight-Tailed White Fox.
Thinking of this, a flicker of an unusual glint appeared in Black Fur Monkey King's eyes.
Didn't Xu Yi just repel the Eight-Tailed White Fox with her own strength?
Perhaps Xu Yi could indeed find the missing Demon King.
Black Fur Monkey King's spirits lifted. "Do you have any other questions?"
Xu Yi shook her head.
Black Fur Monkey King said, "Then rest at Monkey King Mountain for another two days. I will escort you away after two days."
Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
She needed to leave Shenzhou before the Eight-Tailed White Fox, who was still recovering from its injuries, healed. Otherwise, once the Eight-Tailed White Fox recovered, she would have no means to force it back.
Although she didn't get the information she wanted this time, she had also inadvertently learned about the situation in Shenzhou.
After returning, she would inform the major sects as soon as possible to guard against the unusual movements of the demonic beasts in Shenzhou.
Xu Yi declined the cave dwelling arranged by Black Fur Monkey King and casually found a sturdy tree, then sat cross-legged on a branch to rest, occasionally eating spirit fruits to adjust her state.
Just when Xu Yi thought she could spend two pleasant days at Monkey King Mountain, a conflict broke out on Monkey King Mountain the next day.
And the source of this conflict was actually caused by Xu Yi.
When Xu Yi heard this news, she was stunned herself.
How could it involve her?
She walked up to the grim-faced Black Fur Monkey King. Opposite him stood a densely packed group of demonic beasts, divided into two factions, standing in different positions, clearly indicating two camps.
Xu Yi immediately spotted the Blackfang Dog and the Shadow Cat in the right-hand team.
Upon closer inspection, she found that the demonic beasts in the right-hand team were more or less familiar to her, while the demonic beasts in the left-hand team were not only unfamiliar but also looked at her with hostility.
She suddenly realized that the conflict had indeed started because of her.
Black Fur Monkey King said nothing when he saw Xu Yi approach, merely growled in a low voice towards the assembled demonic beasts.
Although Xu Yi couldn't understand beast language, she could roughly guess what Black Fur Monkey King had said from the expressions and reactions of the demonic beasts.
After Black Fur Monkey King's roar subsided, a chorus of cries erupted from behind him. These sounds came from the monkey demons of Monkey King Mountain.
They had long been displeased with that group of demonic beasts.
This was the perfect opportunity to vent their frustrations.
The demonic beasts on the left held their heads high, looking smug.
The tail behind the Blackfang Dog whipped out streaks of afterimages.
From the situation, it appeared that the demonic beasts on the right had fallen into a disadvantage.
Just as Xu Yi guessed that those demonic beasts might back down, a lion-like beast with exceptionally thick fur stepped out from the right-hand team and let out a low growl towards the Monkey King, its eyes flashing with ferocity.
The lion-like beast's action greatly inspired the demonic beasts in the right-hand team.
They also let out short growls one after another, and a few demonic beasts even bared their sharp claws and teeth towards Xu Yi's direction.
Black Fur Monkey King's expression grew even more grim.
The behavior of these demonic beasts was undoubtedly a challenge to its authority.
After all, this was their Monkey Demon territory.
No demonic beast could swagger and make threats on Monkey Demon territory.
Black Fur Monkey King decided to teach them a lesson.
He raised his arm and waved forward.
Immediately, roars like the surging tide sounded from behind him.
