"Clatter …"
The demon army in front of them retreated as if by instinct. The demons in the forest also reacted instinctively. Some retreated, some jumped back, and some climbed up the trees subconsciously.
The golden body scared a lot of them.
The princess looked around in shock. She saw that the demons, who were eager and greedy just a moment ago, were now like stray dogs, as if they were extremely afraid.
Seeing this scene, the princess's heart slowly calmed down, and her pale face regained color. She felt that as long as she was by Xu Qi 'an's side, she could gain an endless sense of security.
This was not her illusion. In fact, since they traveled north, this man had always given her a sense of security, slowly calming her fear.
However, he was also very hateful. He liked to tease her and target her, which diluted the sense of security she felt.
In addition, the princess did not forget to say two words in her heart: F * ck!
Everyone knew that this was a tone used to express shock.
"Vajra Power, you are a Buddhist, and that sect, who is the Master?"
The giant python raised its head, and the fascia at the corner of its mouth opened up, and its mouth opened 180 degrees.
It looked very fierce, but in fact, it was weak inside because the desire to eat in its eyes had turned into fear and hatred.
The group of monsters reacted in the same way. After the stress response brought about by fear, they suddenly became furious. They rushed forward in unison, bared their teeth and glared at Xu Qi 'an.
Their fierce eyes flashed with violence and hatred, as if Xu Qi 'an had killed their clansmen and taken their spouses.
Huh, the northern demons are so afraid of Buddhism? Xu Qi 'an was a little surprised. He swept his sharp eyes across the surrounding demons, like an angry Vajra, and screamed in his heart.
"Master Shenshu, hurry up and come out to eat."
"Master … Master Shenshu?"
… F * ck, did Shenshu disconnect again? That can't be, I just recharged four VIP annual cards for him. Xu Qi 'an was full of complaints, but he couldn't find anyone to complain to.
He was a little anxious. He was an Invincible Vajra, and he was not afraid of the demons. He definitely couldn't beat them, but he could break out.
But what about the princess?
To protect a frail woman amidst an army of ten thousand, to prevent her from getting hurt … A crude warrior who only knew how to cause destruction did not have this ability.
If he wanted to get rid of these demons, he might be able to use the Confucian scroll, but Xu Qi 'an did not want to leave, but to capture the leader of the demon soldiers and interrogate him for information.
Master Shenshu disconnected at this time.
"Hiss …"
At this moment, the giant python hissed and spoke in the human language, "Eat him!"
In a split second, the white beast roared, and the rats let out a shrill squeak, revealing their powerful teeth. The foxes bared their fangs, revealing their sharp fangs.
The black horse lowered its head, snorted, and stomped on the ground.
In the forest, groups of demons moved together. Groups of apes leaped from treetop to treetop. Rock goats lowered their heads and charged forward. Giant worms, cheetahs, lynx, and other large demon beasts were even faster. They rushed out of the forest in the blink of an eye.
The princess closed her eyes in fear and tightly held Xu Qi 'an's hand that was holding hers.
At the same time, Shenshu's voice echoed in Xu Qi 'an's mind, "I was thinking about something."
Why is my mind so empty? Why are my memories so fierce? Xu Qi 'an sighed in relief as he complained. He let go of control of his body and said in his heart,
"Don't kill them first. I want to interrogate them for information. These demons are most likely from the north. I want to know their goal."
The next moment, he lost control of his limbs.
"Don't kill or hunt."
A faint sigh echoed in the valley, like thunder exploding in the ears of the ferocious monsters. At the same time, they lost control of their bodies and fell to the ground.
Due to the inertia of running, they rolled down the hill and fell into the treetops. The scene was chaotic.
"A bunch of mobs," Xu Qi 'an said.
"…" Shenshu.
"Hiss …"
The swimming python was pressed to the ground by an invisible force and couldn't move. It didn't regain control of its body until fear took over its mind and the thought of killing dissipated.
The weaker demons were faster than it. They were more timid and gave up the thought of killing earlier, so they regained control of their bodies earlier.
The python regained control of its body and was about to send a signal to escape when the Golden Body reflected in its vertical pupil strangely disappeared. When it caught the Golden Body again, the powerful Buddhist master had already approached it.
Great fear exploded in the python's heart, and it couldn't even think of dying together. When the opponent had the power of a god or a devil, and it was just an ant, even risking its life was an extravagant hope.
This Buddhist master was not only a warrior monk, but also practiced Zen. He practiced both paths of Buddhism …
Xu Qi 'an said slowly, "I have something to ask you. Answer me honestly."
Under the terrible pressure, the giant python revealed itself and spoke in a trembling voice, "Master, please ask away."
Xu Qi 'an had already replaced Shenshu and regained control of his body. He asked, "You northern demons invaded Daibun's territory on a large scale. What are you going to do?"
He had already guessed the answer.
"We, we're not northern demons," the python answered in a low voice.
A question mark flashed in Xu Qi 'an's mind. Then the python explained, "We're citizens of the Myriad Demon Kingdom."
The remnant of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, and the king was Nine-tailed Celestial Fox? Xu Qi 'an almost blurted out.
Information about the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom appeared in his mind.
The Myriad Demon Kingdom used to be the Demon Kingdom that ruled the Southern Ten Thousand Mountains. It was also the southern demon branch of the northern and southern demons in the Jiuzhou continent.
The king was Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.
He was suspected to be a half-step Martial God. This information came from Lina, the fifth member of the Heaven and Earth Association. She had once said that during the Jiazi Demon-slaying Campaign, the half-step Martial God of the Myriad Demon Kingdom had been killed by Buddha himself.
After the Myriad Demon Kingdom collapsed, the orphan of Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, the Nine-Tailed Princess, escaped with the rest of her clan and started a five-hundred-year-long struggle.
It was not a coincidence that the remnant of the Myriad Demon Kingdom appeared here. Did this mean that the Princess was also planning to get involved in the mess that was Chu Zhou City? So many important figures were involved in the advancement of a Rank Three Warrior to Rank Two. Hmm, it made sense … Xu Qi 'an said coldly.
"You still haven't answered my question."
"We'll sneak into Chu Zhou City and wait for the Princess to find the location where the King of Zhenbei slaughtered everyone within three thousand miles. Then, we'll attack him together," the python answered and lowered its head in fear.
She also wants the blood essence? If the leader of the Green Face Tribe of the Barbarians was involved, then the situation in Chu Zhou City would be chaotic.
I will be able to fish in troubled waters when there are benefits. I will no longer be fighting alone.
These people are not good people. No matter who gets the blood essence, it will not be a good thing.
Hmm, I really want to get the Princess's contact number and ask her if she has any clues … Xu Qi 'an, Xu Qi' an, you are asking a tiger for its skin. You won't even know how you are going to die.
Xu Qi 'an furrowed his brows and said, "Did you also not find the location where the King of Zhenbei slaughtered everyone within three thousand miles?"
The python shook its head.
Xu Qi 'an communicated with Master Shen Shu in his mind and let him take the initiative. Shen Shu said lightly, "The snake monster doesn't lie."
Xu Qi 'an asked again and got the same answer as before.
The Wan Yao Kingdom is looking for the location of the massacre, and the Barbarians in the north are also looking for the location … Xu Qi 'an was shocked. Where did the King of Zhenbei kill people?
Chu Zhou City was eight thousand miles wide, but it was impossible for it to be hidden to this extent.
"Master, I have asked all the questions. You can do it now," Xu Qi 'an said to Shen Shu in his mind.
"Let them go!"
To his surprise, Shen Shu didn't kill the monsters and take their blood essence.
"Why? The war is coming. Don't you want to heal your arm? "Xu Qi 'an was shocked.
Shen Shu chuckled and said, "I remember something from the past. Before I reached the phenomenal success stage, the Wan Yao Kingdom ruled the southern region.
"The princess of the Wan Yao Kingdom might know me or have heard of me."
Yes, it was the remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom who blew up Sampo and put Shen Shu's broken arm in my body … The princess must know Shen Shu and Master Shen Shu's memory is incomplete. The best way to find the past is to meet an old friend or someone from the same generation … Xu Qi 'an was enlightened.
"Master, I understand that you don't want to offend the princess of the Wan Yao Kingdom, but if you leave these monsters alone, they will prey on the people." He still didn't want to let these monsters go.
"The people are lives, and the monsters are also lives. What's the difference?" Shen Shu asked lightly.
Are … are you going to discuss philosophy with me? Xu Qi 'an was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
From a philosophical point of view, Shen Shu was right. All lives were equal, and there was no difference in status. Everyone had the same life.
From a personal point of view, Xu Qi 'an was a human, so he stood on the side of humans unreservedly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
Towards other lifeforms, he held respect in his heart. He would not kill indiscriminately or cruelly, but when necessary, he would not be merciful. For example, the monsters killed humans.
But Shen Shu was a Buddhist, and his thinking was different from ordinary people. Xu Qi 'an didn't think that his ideas could affect a big shot with a high level of cultivation.
He regained control of his body and said, "I need the contact information of your princess."
"Uh …"
The giant python seemed to be in a dilemma.
"I can't?"
Xu Qi 'an's eyes were as sharp as knives.
"The princess comes and goes like a shadow. She is the only one who can contact us. Otherwise, we won't be able to find her."
At this moment, the four-tailed white fox took the initiative to explain the reason.
"It sounds like the spy chief of the Nine States …" Xu Qi 'an saw that Shen Shu didn't have any intention to speak, so he looked around at the monsters and said with a stern voice, "The heavens are kind.
"The heavens are merciful. I won't kill you. But you must remember, while you are in Chu Zhou City, don't eat human beings. Otherwise, I will make you disappear. "
He didn't know if such a threat would work. Seriously …
The giant python's cold eyes were filled with joy. It bowed and nodded. "Don't worry, Master. We won't stay in Chu Zhou City for too long. We will only hunt beasts and not kill humans."
All the demons had a submissive attitude.
The princess, who was beside him, looked at Xu Qi 'an's side profile with admiration.
After getting the mysterious Grand Daoist Master's permission, the monster army continued on their way. They went around Xu Qi 'an and the Princess and marched quickly in silence, like a disorderly crowd that had just lost a battle.
…
The people of Great Feng liked to use northern barbarians to describe the northern barbarians and southern barbarians to describe the southern barbarians. On the other hand, the frequency of the northern demons appearing in the Daibun people's mouths was far less than the northern barbarians.
That was because most of the land bordering Chu Zhou City belonged to the northern barbarians. The territory of the northern demons bordered a large area of the Witchcraft Sect in the northeast.
That was why the Witchcraft Sect in the northeast and the northern demons were mortal enemies. They would fight every few days.
Under such a historical background and geographical environment, the northern demons and northern barbarians became the closest allies, and the two sides would occasionally unite by marriage.
There were nine tribes among the northern barbarians, and each tribe had at least three level-four masters. Compared to the hundreds of millions of people in Daibun, the population of the northern barbarians was pitifully small.
However, as the descendants of the Fiend God, they had an absolute advantage in terms of individual combat power.
If a group of a hundred barbarians encountered a group of a thousand Daibun rangers in the wild, the Daibun rangers without cannons and ballistae would definitely be annihilated.
After passing the border of Chu Zhou City, the scenery in the north suddenly became rough. There were grayish-white or dark mountains and barren lands lacking green vegetation.
Desolation was the only theme in the north.
Of course, there were lakes and grasslands, as well as thriving oases and mountains. Most of these places were occupied by the tribes of the barbarians and their branches.
The Qing Yan Tribe was located in the northwest, at the foot of a mountain called Sky Holding Mountain. Legend had it that the Sky Holding Mountain was formed after the ancestor of the Qing Yan Tribe died.
The mountain was rich in fruits, herbs, birds, and beasts. It was the sacred mountain of the Qing Yan Tribe.
The architecture of the Qing Yan Tribe was a combination of the northern and Daibun styles. Among the tents, there were also yellow houses, wooden houses, and even palaces.
The palaces were built by the slaves that the Qing Yan Tribe had plundered from Daibun.
It was dusk.
"Huff, huff …"
The muffled snoring sound spread across the entire Qing Yan Tribe. The green-clad tribesmen were used to it. Some were herding cattle, some were hunting in the mountains, and some were drinking and having fun.
What kind of monster was this snoring sound that could be heard for dozens of miles?
The snoring sound came from the leader of the Qing Yan Tribe – Ji Li Zhigu.
He was a third-level master and the most powerful warrior in the north. He had once fought with the King of Zhenbei. No one knew the result of the battle, but the scouts from both sides found that the battlefield stretched for hundreds of miles. Within hundreds of miles, there was no sign of life.
A barbarian with two blades on his back rode a horse and passed by the tents and houses. He rode along the main road that led to the foot of the mountain.
At the end of the road was a palace that was built in the style of Daibun.
The barbarian took out a token and passed through the checkpoint. He entered the building and headed straight for the tallest and most luxurious palace.
"Leader, leader …"
The barbarian didn't enter the palace. He stood in the yard outside and shouted loudly in the barbarian language.
"Huff, huff …"
The snoring sound stopped abruptly, and the two feet tall palace gate opened automatically.
The barbarian entered the palace with two blades on his back. The interior of the palace was decorated in a rough style. Sixteen thick stone pillars held up a huge dome that was ten feet tall.
A scarlet carpet extended from the depths of the palace to the entrance. On both sides of the carpet were torches that were as tall as a person, burning fiercely.
At the end of the hall, there was a huge stone chair, and sitting on the stone chair was a 20-feet-tall green giant.
His huge body didn't have any hair, and the surface of his body was covered with layers of thick green keratin armor. A curved horn grew out of his forehead.
He didn't restrain his aura, nor did he release it. Even so, the barbarian with two blades on his back was trembling with fear, and his legs were trembling.
The experts of the barbarian tribe would never deliberately restrain their aura. They didn't know how to hide their strength, so there was only Ji Li Zhigu in the palace. There were no guards or maids.
Leaning against the stone chair was a huge sword that was wider than a door. The color of the huge sword was dark and mottled with crimson. It was the blood of the experts that Ji Li Zhigu had killed.
The eyes of the giant on the stone chair were half-closed. His voice was like thunder, echoing in the palace, "Why did you disturb my sleep?"
The barbarian with two blades on his back crouched down, his forehead touching the ground, and said respectfully in the barbarian language, "Leader, we captured a captive. He said he knows the place where the King of Zhenbei slaughters living beings and refines their blood essence."
The green giant's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a majestic and terrifying aura spread out, enveloping every corner of the palace.
…
On the official road outside the city of Beishan County, not far from the border, a convoy was slowly approaching.
The leader was a woman wearing light armor, with a high ponytail and a silver spear.
Her facial features were picturesque, but she didn't have the gentleness of an ordinary woman. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her facial features were beautiful. Rather than describing her as beautiful, it was better to say that she was handsome.
In this era, it was rare to see such a handsome woman.
White Horse Silver Spear Li Miaozhen resumed her old career, and the Flying Swallow Heroine reappeared in the pugilistic world.
