During the flight, the Lightning Mink’s expression was solemn and he remained silent.

Fang Bai noticed a trace of anxiety and unease in his demeanor and, with a flash of thought, roughly guessed what was on his mind.

"Are you worried that after finding the Mink Clan, they won’t recognize you? Or are you worried you won’t be able to integrate into them?"

Fang Bai asked casually. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The Lightning Mink sighed, then nodded and said, "Yes, I come from the lower realm, maybe in the eyes of the Mink Clan in the Demon Realm, I’m considered a different species?"

Fang Bai patted his shoulder and comforted, "Your bloodline is extraordinary, and in the future, your cultivation level might make you a Demon Emperor. If the Mink Clan doesn’t recognize you, it’s their great loss!"

After a pause, he continued, "Or when you are strong in the future and become a Demon Emperor, you can challenge the whole Mink Clan alone. Once you defeat everyone in the Mink Clan, they will surely raise their hands in welcome to you as one of their own!"

"Demon Emperor..."

The Lightning Mink’s spirit was lifted, his posture became straighter, and a strange light flashed in his eyes as he said, "You’re right! I must become strong, I must become the leader of the Mink Clan! At that time, whoever doesn’t submit, I’ll make sure they do!"

"That’s the spirit! In this world, there’s nothing that can’t be solved with a fist! If it doesn’t work, it just means you’re not strong enough!"

Fang Bai looked at the emboldened Lightning Mink and couldn’t help but smile.

Fang Bai vaguely remembered that in ancient times, among the Mink Clan in the Demon Realm, there seemed to have been a Great Emperor level expert who was renowned in the Demon Realm, and with the Lightning Mink’s talent and his ability to wildly devour cultivation resources, coupled with his guidance, might in the future become a Demon Emperor.

Between the Demon Clan Domain and the Immortal Domain, the borders are often well-defined, sometimes separated by forests spanning thousands of miles, endless deserts, vast oceans, or deep ravines, broad fire seas, and desolate wastelands.

But between the Demon Clan Domain and the Immortal Domain, there is no obvious boundary, and sometimes experts from both clans share the same region, even jointly resisting the Demon Clan.

Fang Bai followed the path in his memory from his previous life, flying over a million miles of territory with the Lightning Mink, crossing a primeval forest spanning ten thousand miles, and landing on the peak of a towering mountain.

Looking ahead, they saw rivers rushing, mountains towering and perilous, tigers roaring, apes howling, rabbits darting, and wolves dashing, presenting a landscape more magnificent than that of the Immortal Realm.

"So this is the Demon Realm?"

The Lightning Mink’s divine sense spread in all directions, he murmured to himself, feeling a sense of familiarity despite it being his first time in the Demon Realm.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "That’s right."

"I seem to have been here before... Such a strange feeling..."

Lightning Mink scanned the surroundings with his gaze, speaking to himself.

Fang Bai said, "Perhaps it’s because you belong to the Mink Clan and are inherently close to the Demon Clan Domain!"

The Lightning Mink took a deep breath, suppressing his excited emotions, looked at Fang Bai, and asked, "Palace Master, do you know where the Mink Clan is?"

Fang Bai first nodded, then shook his head, and with a regretful expression, said, "I trained in the Demon Realm thousands of years ago and had interactions with a powerful member of the Mink Clan. At that time, the Mink Clan was facing a crisis, their situation wasn’t good. Now, thousands of years have passed, whether the Mink Clan still resides in their territory is hard to say."

The Lightning Mink felt worried upon hearing about the clan crisis and urged, "Let’s go there quickly!"

Seeing the Lightning Mink’s anxious face, Fang Bai promptly tamed a demon eagle rivaling a third-grade Immortal King Realm Expert and sat with the Lightning Mink, cross-legged, on the eagle’s back, speeding towards the Mink Clan’s territory.

In Fang Bai’s memory, the Mink Clan’s territory was located in the Demon Emperor Valley of the Giant Demon Mountain.

It is said that the Demon Emperor Valley was personally created by a Mink Clan Great Emperor, where he built thousands of magnificent palaces, leading to a period of Mink Clan prosperity.

But as that Mink Clan Great Emperor went missing, no Immortal Emperor Realm Expert emerged thereafter, and the Mink Clan gradually declined.

When Fang Bai befriended the Mink Clan expert, several major demon clan forces were eyeing Demon Emperor Valley, wanting to drive the Mink Clan out and claim it as their own, but the Mink Clan expert was defiant, resisting with all his might.

After several battles, the grand palaces within Demon Emperor Valley were destroyed one by one, and the Mink Clan experts could only live in makeshift shelters, struggling to survive.

Now, thousands of years later, Fang Bai believed the Mink Clan in Demon Emperor Valley either faced extinction or were forced to relocate for survival.

Fang Bai hoped it was the latter possibility, for if it was unfortunately the former, the Lightning Mink might experience sorrow for his kind, feeling down for a long time.

On the way to Demon Emperor Valley, Fang Bai explained to the Lightning Mink the two possible outcomes facing the Mink Clan, providing him with a precautionary measure.

After listening, the Lightning Mink pressed his lips tightly, clenched his fists, his face full of worry, urging Fang Bai to speed up constantly.

The journey was not entirely smooth, encountering several attacks from demon birds and beasts, but fortunately, Fang Bai’s combat power was formidable, and he could tame demon birds and beasts to assist in the battle. Together with the Lightning Mink, they managed to emerge from each danger unscathed.

"The Giant Demon Mountain is vast, inhabited by numerous demon clans. However, the Mink Clan, Tiger Clan, Bear Clan, and Wolf Clan as major clans are the strongest overall. And it’s these three major clans that want to expel the Mink Clan and occupy the Demon Emperor Valley. Each of these three clans has Immortal Emperor Realm Experts overseeing their territory, their power is formidable, and joined forces, they can easily suppress the Mink Clan."

Approaching the Giant Demon Mountain, Fang Bai spoke to the Lightning Mink.

Thus, the Lightning Mink instinctively regarded the Tiger, Bear, and Wolf clans as his enemies.

Due to the presence of not just one Immortal Emperor Realm Expert in the Giant Demon Mountain, to avoid detection by their divine senses, Fang Bai abandoned the demon eagle and, with the Lightning Mink, concealed their auras, winding around and bypassing the territories of the Tiger, Bear, and Wolf clans, and made their way near Demon Emperor Valley.

"Indeed, this place no longer belongs to the Mink Clan..."

Fang Bai released his divine sense and scanned Demon Emperor Valley, discovering many disciples from the Tiger, Bear, and Wolf clans, clearly indicating that the valley had been occupied by these three clans, while the original masters, the Mink Clan, were nowhere to be seen.

"Don’t act impulsively!"

Fang Bai saw the killing intent and hatred in the Lightning Mink’s eyes and transmitted, "Let’s first figure out the current situation of the Mink Clan. If the Mink Clan has perished, let’s leave for now, and if you wish to seek revenge, do so when you’re stronger in the future. If the Mink Clan has migrated elsewhere, we’ll find their new location and act accordingly."

The Lightning Mink nodded.

"Wait for me here."

Fang Bai spoke, then vanished from where he stood.

Several breaths later, Fang Bai captured a first-grade Immortal King Realm Tiger Clan disciple, using the Soul Capturing Heart Refining Technique to control the disciple’s mind, seizing the opportunity to inquire about the Mink Clan’s whereabouts.
