Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Behind them, the Tiger Devouring Army naturally followed closely.

As they entered one of the checkpoints of Leiyuan Mountain, sharp gazes swept over the people entering the mountain.

The approach of the Tiger Devouring Army caused the atmosphere at the pass to freeze slightly. The soldiers who had been cold and stern in the pass now looked somewhat uneasy, and a deep sense of fear flashed in their eyes.

"Hehe, so it's General Yan who has arrived..."

On the towering pass, a dark-skinned man covered in black scales looked down at the Tiger Devouring Army, his hands clasped in a fist salute, a smile on his face.

"I suppose Brother Yan is also aware of the rules for entering Leiyuan Mountain: any military force can only be stationed at the foot of Leiyuan Mountain."

Xiao Yan glanced at the man at the checkpoint, grinned, and said, "General Tian'e, do you think your Tian'e tribe can stop my Tiger Devouring Army?"

At the checkpoint, the dark-skinned man's expression changed, and he chuckled dryly, "General Yan, what are you saying? I'm just following the rules. If you have any objections, go find Lord Demon Commander."

Around the checkpoint, there were many people from various factions. They watched this scene and couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement, but no one dared to speak.

Upon hearing that Tian'e would use Xu Zhong to pressure him, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, but a murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.

"Tiger Devouring Army, listen to my command! Descend the mountain and rest!"

Immediately, he waved his hand and shouted loudly to the Tiger Devouring Army behind him.

"Yes!"

The resounding, deep shouts, carrying an undisguised murderous aura, echoed out. Then, the large Tiger Devouring Army soldiers sat down cross-legged on the spot, blocking half of the checkpoint.

"Big brother, second brother, let's go to Thunder Abyss Mountain," Xiao Yan said with a smile as he jumped off the giant beast and went to Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong nodded slightly, and then prepared to continue their journey with Xiao Yan.

"Wait, who are they? Why do they look so unfamiliar?" The Crocodile General suddenly shouted from the checkpoint.

Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, his scarlet tiger eyes blazing with murderous intent as he stared at Tian E Jiang, and said in a chilling tone, "You really think I wouldn't dare to kill you here?"

Tian'e's expression changed, and a surge of powerful Yuan energy immediately welled up within him. He was clearly worried that Xiao Yan might suddenly attack.

"Calm down," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, stopping Xiao Yan. Then he said to Tian E Jiang, "I am Lin Fan, and this is Lin Dong. We are brothers with Yan Jiang. We are here today to meet Lord Demon Commander."

Before meeting the Demon General Xu Zhong, Lin Fan did not want to alert him, so he did not rush to make a move.

"brother?"

Upon hearing this, not only was the Crocodile General stunned, but the leaders of many surrounding forces also looked over in astonishment, their hearts filled with surprise.

When did that ferocious tiger, known for its ruthless killing, acquire two brothers, and judging by their appearance, they are actually human...?

Tian'e frowned and thought for a moment. He quickly thought of Lin Fan and Lin Dong's reputations, and his eyes flickered. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "I see. Then the three of you, please come up the mountain."

Lin Fan nodded lightly, and together with Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, they passed through the heavily guarded checkpoint and headed deeper into Thunder Abyss Mountain.

As Tian'e watched the three figures disappear into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly. He summoned a subordinate and instructed, "Go and report what happened here to Lord Demon Commander."

"Hmph, I'd like to see what tricks you can pull," Tian'e sneered in the direction where Lin Fan and the other two had disappeared as his subordinate retreated.

……

Leiyuan Mountain is exceptionally majestic, and on its peaks stand rows of grand palaces.

In the sky, light arrays appeared from time to time; these were some of the defensive measures of Thunder Abyss Mountain.

Meanwhile, the main peak of Leiyuan Mountain was already teeming with people, and all sorts of noises converged and soared into the sky, as if even the clouds were being torn apart.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong followed Xiao Yan and headed straight for the top of the main peak.

There stood a colossal palace, and a steady stream of people was pouring in. The gathering at Leiyuan Mountain was indeed quite grand.

Xiao Yan, being the top general of Lei Yuan Mountain, led Lin Fan and Lin Dong directly into the main hall, where, under the watchful eyes of countless people, he sat down in the front seat with an air of authority.

Xiao Yan was a big shot in Lei Yuan Mountain, second only to the Demon General Xu Zhong. His sitting immediately attracted attention from all sides.

When some eyes noticed Lin Fan and Lin Dong next to Xiao Yan, their eyes flashed with surprise and uncertainty as they secretly guessed the identities of the two.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong ignored these gazes and sat quietly in their seats, their expressions calm and composed.

Shortly after Xiao Yan and his two companions took their seats, more generals arrived one after another. Among them were five people, including Chen Tong and others who had met with Lin Fan and his group the previous night.

However, when they saw Xiao Yan and the other two, they only exchanged glances before taking their seats.

Lei Yuan Mountain originally had nine generals, but Meng Shan, one of the generals, died at the hands of Lin Fan, so now only eight remain.

Besides these five generals, Lin Fan also met the remaining two of the eight generals.

One of them was none other than the Crocodile General whom they had met before.

The other person was a beautiful woman with a gorgeous face and an exceptionally sexy and hot personality.

A cat-like marking on her pointed cheek gave her a wilder, more sensual beauty.

Her appearance attracted a lot of attention, but she ignored all of it, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan next to Lin Fan.

There seemed to be a hint of resentment in that gaze.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan's heart stirred slightly, and he roughly understood what was going on and also learned the woman's identity.

Lin Dong was somewhat puzzled, so he asked Xiao Yan beside him, "What's going on?"

Xiao Yan said helplessly, "I don't know... She's a pretty difficult woman. I taught her a lesson once, and she's been bothering me ever since."

"Is she also one of Xu Zhong's protégés?" Lin Dong asked with some surprise.

"Not really... She seems to be a member of the Nine-Lives Celestial Cat Clan, and she owes Xu Zhong a favor, so she's staying here to repay it," Xiao Yan said calmly.

"Hey, you beat me last time, and we agreed to have another match next time. Why haven't you contacted me yet?" At this moment, the woman suddenly walked over and said to Xiao Yan.

She made no attempt to hide her true feelings, her large eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan frowned, somewhat impatiently saying, "I don't have time."

"You!" The woman, usually quite arrogant, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Yan's words, but quickly softened, glancing at Lin Fan and Lin Dong with some surprise.

"You actually brought people to the Mountain Gathering? And two of them are humans?"

“These are my eldest and second eldest brothers,” Xiao Yan said, his expression slightly somber.

The woman was taken aback by what she heard. Then, her somewhat arrogant expression softened, and she smiled at Lin Fan and Lin Dong, "Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong, nice to meet you. I am Huo Miao."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of everyone around her, including Chen Tong's generals, changed, and their eyes were somewhat strange.

When did this spoiled little wildcat become so well-mannered?

Lin Fan glanced at the expressions of the people around him, smiled faintly, and said, "Hello, Xiao Yan is here. Thank you for taking care of him."

"Xiao Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Miao paused for a moment, then a strange smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan beside her, and said, "He doesn't need me to take care of him, and I don't have the guts..."

Lin Fan could hear the resentment in the girl's words. He exchanged a glance with Lin Dong, and a smile appeared in their eyes.

"What nonsense are you spouting in front of my older brothers?" Xiao Yan frowned and said in a deep voice.

Huo Miao pouted, quite annoyed by Xiao Yan's attitude. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave. As she left, a faint sound reached the ears of Lin Fan and the other two.

"You all need to be careful today."

"This girl is quite nice," Lin Dong said with a smile to Xiao Yan beside him.

"Second Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Yan was flustered by Lin Dong's words, then smiled wryly, "I don't have those feelings for her..."

As the three Lin brothers chatted together, time gradually passed, and the vast hall became increasingly lively.

Most of them are leaders of various forces who have some reputation in Leiyuan Mountain, including some who are at the level of the Blood Python City Lord.

However, here today, they are clearly just supporting characters.

Boom!

Amidst the lively atmosphere in the grand hall, a deep chime suddenly rang out, and then the entire hall gradually quieted down, with all eyes turning towards the throne at the far end of the hall.

"Haha, thank you all for coming to our gathering at Leiyuan Mountain today. I, Xu Zhong, would like to express my gratitude in advance!"

A loud laugh suddenly echoed through the giant hall like thunder.

Chapter 426 You, Demon General, you've truly failed miserably! [Please continue reading]

As the laughter subsided, a dark pillar of light suddenly shot straight in from outside the grand hall, then surged up onto the throne.

As the black light coalesced and the black cloak billowed, a burly figure sat imposingly on the throne, his eyes sweeping across the room with the force of thunder, awe-inspiring and terrifying.

"Welcome, Demon General!"

As the black-robed man on the throne appeared, a chorus of welcoming voices immediately filled the grand hall.

Lin Fan's gaze shifted and landed on the throne.

The man was as muscular as Xiao Yan, with a sharp, angular face and a fierce and authoritative air about him, which came from years of holding a high position. However, a hint of ruthlessness could still be seen deep in his eyes.

When Xu Zhong appeared, Lin Fan could feel that Xiao Yan next to him leaned forward slightly, like the prelude to a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Hehe, today is a rare grand occasion for my Leiyuan Mountain. Everyone must drink until they're drunk!" Xu Zhong smiled as he looked at the scene of worship before him, a hint of enjoyment flashing in his eyes, and then he laughed loudly.

"The Demon General is wise and sagacious!"

Upon hearing Xu Zhong's words, a chorus of flattery immediately erupted from below, and those who looked at Xu Zhong were filled with fear.

Clearly, the title of one of the eight great demon generals is indeed quite intimidating.

Xu Zhonglang laughed and waved his hand. Suddenly, singing girls carrying wine gourds moved through the huge hall, creating a lively atmosphere.

Xu Zhong glanced around, then suddenly looked at the seats of the eight generals below. Seeing that the seat that should have belonged to General Mengshan was empty, his expression flickered slightly. "Do you know why General Mengshan is not here?"

Tian'e quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Demon General, please forgive me. I was unaware of the situation. Perhaps something has delayed me?"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tong and the others all said they didn't know.

Xiao Yan sat silently in her seat without making a sound.

The Demon General Xu Zhong's expression shifted for a moment before he laughed and said, "Since he couldn't make it, then we won't wait for him."

"My Lei Yuan kingdom is inseparable from my nine generals. Today, at this annual victory banquet, I toast you all. Thank you for your hard work throughout the year's battles."

After saying this, Xu Zhong slightly raised the wine pot in his hand, gesturing to everyone.
