Several months later.
Just as Ao Dian had said, a toad spirit came to Cloud Piercing Peak.
The toad spirit transformed into a humanoid shape but was barely over three feet tall, even shorter than the Turtle Chancellor.
Dressed in an earthy yellow Taoist robe, its limbs remained webbed due to its crude Art of Transformation.
Yet it walked with an imposing air. Upon arriving outside the cave, it declared that it was following the orders of the Jade Fang Demon King to inquire about the causes of death of the four great demons.
Ao Dian had been waiting for some time and, using infighting as an excuse, stuffed a hundred-year-old Spirit Ginseng into the hands of the toad spirit. The once haughty toad spirit immediately smiled so widely that its eyes could no longer be seen, repeatedly praising Ao Dian for his sensibility.
From then on, Mo Cloud Cave and the surrounding four peaks, as well as the Yan River in the mountains, all became Zhou Yi's territory.
