Unlike Sun Zimei's uncertainty, the young disciple by his side was completely relaxed at the moment.
Pointing to a rat sneaking by in the distance, he chuckled, "Master, is this the 'great demon' you mentioned? It seems quite dangerous—much bigger than the rats in our sect!"
"You impudent brat!"
Sun Zimei slapped the disciple on the back of his head.
He grumbled, "You're just lucky this time, but today, I’m making sure you get a glimpse of what a real demon looks like!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the disciple and began flying swiftly toward the depths of the mountain range.
In one go, Sun Zimei flew straight to the heart of the mountain range.
This area was not something ordinary True Immortal beasts, or even those above the fifth rank, could casually enter.
Normally, even Sun Zimei himself wouldn’t dare venture so deep.
Yet today, something felt extraordinarily off.
The entire mountain range was eerily quiet.
As if all the beasts within the Dragon Subterranean Range had taken the day off, leaving not even a single hair behind.
"What in the world is going on?!"
Sun Zimei was furious.
He felt his authority as a master was being challenged like never before.
He had solemnly warned his disciple before.
That entering the depths of the mountain meant certain death.
That within the range, beasts roamed freely.
But now?
It was practically as serene as a picnic.
What was the point of training here?
Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock in his disciple’s eyes?
Seeing Sun Zimei’s predicament, the disciple let out a nervous laugh.
He flattered, "Master, maybe we should return for now. The beasts in the range must have been intimidated by your might and are hiding away!"
"Hmm?" Sun Zimei frowned.
He knew exactly how strong he was, so why would those great demons fear him?
He realized he had just been patronized and the disciple grew nervous.
Frantically, he explained, "Master, what I meant was, you’re right, the great demons in the deep mountains are truly terrifying, more than anything I’ve ever seen!"
As he spoke, another large rat darted silently past him…
The disciple casually kicked it away with a flick of his foot.
Saying that didn’t help.
After hearing his disciple’s words, Sun Zimei felt even more offended.
What?
So, you think I’m just trying to scare you?
Without further ado, Sun Zimei grabbed the disciple again and flew straight toward a certain location.
He knew that nearby, in a cave deep within the mountains, lived a Three-Eyed Demon Bear with a cultivation level of True Immortal Tier 4.
Normally, he wouldn’t dare approach that place.
Even with his own cultivation level of True Immortal Tier 4, facing the Three-Eyed Demon Bear would put him at a disadvantage.
But today.
To teach his disciple a lesson and uphold his dignity as a master.
He was willing to take the risk.
"Can the Three-Eyed Demon Bear have disappeared as well?"
"When you see that bear, if you don’t wet your pants, I’ll kneel down and call you master!"
Grinning, he cautiously approached the cave with the disciple in hand.
However.
Upon taking a closer look inside, he was stupefied.
The cave was empty.
There was no sign of the Three-Eyed Demon Bear.
Sun Zimei was completely flustered.
The bear that had been quietly cultivating in this cave for thousands of years had vanished.
He felt as though he was being deliberately targeted.
As if the heavens themselves were mocking him.
Was he really going to be forced to call his disciple his master?
He refused to accept this.
Carefully stepping into the cave, he examined the scene closely. His expression instantly changed.
The cave was filled with the fur of the Three-Eyed Demon Bear.
As a demon that had existed for tens of thousands of years, how could it possibly be shedding fur like this?
Especially the two deep scratches left on the ground, seemingly made by the bear’s claws.
The direction of the scratches indicated that the bear had been dragged away by something even more formidable.
"The Three-Eyed Demon Bear is considered one of the top-tier creatures in the Dragon Subterranean Range, who could have possibly dragged it away?"
While Sun Zimei was still in shock, the disciple pointed at a large tusk inside the cave, panicked.
"Master, look at this, what is it?"
Sun Zimei followed the disciple’s gaze and realized it was actually one of the Three-Eyed Demon Bear’s tusks, still stained with blood.
"The Three-Eyed Demon Bear was really dragged away?!" Sun Zimei was thunderstruck.
The discovery in front of him forced him to accept this shocking truth.
At this moment, the disciple finally understood, deep down, that his master hadn’t been lying to him.
The great demons in the hinterland were indeed horrifying.
Even the faint aura emanating from the tusk made him shiver.
If he were to see the Three-Eyed Demon Bear in person, he might truly be scared out of his wits.
However, what terrified him even more was the existence powerful enough to effortlessly defeat and drag away the Three-Eyed Demon Bear.
In front of such a being, he would likely be as insignificant as an ant.
Suddenly, Sun Zimei clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Ah! I get it now!"
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do?

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
