A demon that wants to annihilate the entire hell will not be tolerated by hell.
As for the jealous angels mentioned by the fire demons, he was not afraid. Admittedly, his current strength was definitely not comparable to that of a first-grade heavenly demon god, and he was even at a great disadvantage against a second-grade one. But as long as he wanted to leave, no one in this hell could stop him.
However, this will be detrimental to the subsequent search for Sun Wukong.
Inside the inner world, Fang Xiu first spent over a thousand years completely refining the Prison Angel and a group of Flame Demons, and then began to inquire about information.
"Does any of you know where Sun Wukong is?"
The angels and the others all shook their heads, saying they had never seen it before.
Fang Xiu was not surprised. The strongest Prison Angel here was only at the third rank of cultivation. Facing Sun Wukong in his prime, he was like a child. Even with the strength of the Prison Angel, it would be difficult for him to obtain any information about Sun Wukong.
He guessed that Sun Wukong might not have awakened and returned yet. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have caused a stir no matter where he was. The fact that there was no news of him now could only mean that he had not yet awakened.
Therefore, the only way to find Sun Wukong is to rely on one's own cycle of reincarnation and use the connection between reincarnations to determine Sun Wukong's location.
With this thought in mind, he made a plan.
"Someone come here."
"Greetings, Great Sage Chaos!" A smaller version of the Flame Demon knelt at Fang Xiu's feet, not daring to raise its head even slightly, and its body was even trembling slightly.
Fang Xiu sat upright on the wide throne, like a sleeping lion, and slightly raised his eyes to say, "I am hungry."
The Flame Demon trembled instantly, its flames dimming considerably, and it frantically kowtowed, "Great Sage, spare me! Great Sage, spare me!"
Fang Xiu frowned slightly, his expression displeased: "I'm not going to eat you. Go and bring all the souls within my jurisdiction."
Upon hearing this, the Flame Demon immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then hesitated, "Great Sage, are you sure it's all the souls? What about the shares already allocated to other demon gods... uh..."
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand gripped his neck tightly, leaving him hanging in mid-air.
"Spare...spare my life..."
"Are you questioning me?" The tyrannical and ferocious face loomed close to the Flame Demon's eyes, its white teeth opening and closing as if it were about to swallow the Flame Demon whole at any moment.
"No... I dare not..." The Flame Demon trembled with fear as he spoke with difficulty.
"That's good. What I hate most is doubt. In this world, anyone who dares to doubt me deserves to die!"
Bang!
The Fiery Demon was flung away and crashed heavily into the formation of the cave. Invisible ripples spread through the void, and several pieces of lava fell from the Fiery Demon's body.
The Flame Demon endured the pain, not daring to utter a single scream, for fear of displeasing the Great Sage of Chaos. In their brief encounter, he had already realized that the Great Sage of Chaos was even more tyrannical than the Prison Angel.
"Remember, I meant the entire soul. Don't make me repeat myself."
Several days later, all the souls plundered from the Immortal Realm within the former jurisdiction of the Prison Angel were sent to Fang Xiu's cave.
Upon closer inspection, there were a million of them, and that was after many had been devoured by the demons.
Of course, during this time, some demon gods secretly kept souls, which Fang Xiu discovered, giving him a good reason to devour a few more demon gods.
Fang Xiu looked at the millions of numb souls before him, said nothing, and silently used the law of reincarnation to sense whether Sun Wukong was among them, but found nothing.
"The territory is still too small, with only so many souls. If we could rule the entire Prison of Envy, and even Hell itself, then..."
The fire demon who had brought the soul trembled all over upon hearing this, wishing he could smash his ears. What kind of rabid words were these? His new superior's ambition and desires had truly swelled to the extreme, daring to even covet the entire hell.
The next moment, Fang Xiu opened the mouth of the Taotie and took all the souls into his divine kingdom.
These people were taken to hell, where they witnessed the death of their companions every day and had to endure the harsh environment of hell. Most of them had already broken down, and for them, the best outcome was reincarnation.
In the eyes of the Flame Demon, all these souls had been devoured by Fang Xiu.
Thus, he gained another label besides tyranny, cruelty, and treachery—greed!
Extremely greedy, he plunders every soul for himself, leaving nothing for his subordinates.
The people under Fang Xiu's command are probably incredibly jealous of the angel's early return, and they'll complain and get Fang Xiu replaced.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I am about to travel." At Fang Xiu's command, several fire demons immediately sprang into action, carrying a huge golden ancient war chariot, with four more fire demons pulling the chariot.
He sat on the golden ancient battlefield and began to inspect his territory, like an emperor on a journey. Wherever he went, all demons fled. In this small piece of land, no one dared to look him in the eye.
After all, the last angel to look him in the eye was dead.
Soon, Fang Xiu stopped in front of a towering volcano. During this time, he had learned some things about his territory from the Prison Angel.
First, this volcanic cluster is the territory of all the Prison Angels, called the Lava Land. In addition, there are other high-ranking Heavenly Demons, each with their own territory, and they are called lords. All these territories together constitute the Prison of Envy, which is managed by the Envy Angel.
In the Lava Territory, the higher the volcano, the higher the cultivation level of its inhabitant.
Fang Xiu looked at the volcano in front of him and asked, "Who lives inside?"
"Replying to the Great Sage, the one living inside is a fourth-rank Heavenly Demon God, the Black Demon."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Immediately, a fire demon went to knock on the door, and the black demon inside the volcano secretly groaned, but dared not refuse to open the door.
Before long, a humanoid creature, completely concealed in a black cloak and wielding a giant scythe, slowly emerged from the crowd. Upon seeing Fang Xiu, it immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Sage of Chaos."
"Hmm, get up." Fang Xiu glanced at him indifferently: "I suspect you are hiding a soul in your cave. Do you plead guilty?"
The Black Demon was instantly horrified and repeatedly denied it: "I didn't. I have surrendered all my souls. I have absolutely nothing to hide."
Fang Xiu remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Whether or not I have any secrets is not for you to decide, but for me to decide."
