Attendant Cang quickly arrived at the summit of the mountain. He saw that a large platform had been cleaned up by someone using mana. It was clean and spotless. The grass and leaves that floated here were swept away by a gentle breeze.
Behind him was a small path. Under the shade of a few old pine trees, a waterfall could be vaguely seen. The shadows of the waterfall were pink and green. If one listened carefully, he could even hear the faint singing coming from inside.
He was delighted. He knew that he had found the right person this time. The Li Mountain disciple had not left. Just as he was about to enter, he only took a few steps when he encountered a gentle force that pushed him out. He was shocked. He did not expect the other party to be so vigilant and actually set up a restrictive formation here.
In reality, because the Li Mountain disciples were weak, they placed more importance on protective formations. It had been like this since the beginning of cultivation. It had long become a habit for them. No matter where they went, they would never lose their vigilance.
The owner of the room seemed to have sensed the commotion outside and the singing stopped. After a while, a pleasant voice said, "Which guest has arrived?"
Attendant Cang's thoughts turned quickly. Now that things had come to this, he could only find an excuse of a visitor. He said loudly, "I am Cang Shou. I am under the orders of Sect Master Li to report something to Daoist friend."
The Li Mountain disciple paused before saying, "Sir, please wait a moment."
After a while, Attendant Cang felt that the restrictive formation had disappeared. He could not help but rejoice that he did not expose himself. However, after suffering once, he did not dare to be rash again. Who knew if there were other arrangements in the room, so he still stood in front of the door without moving.
The sound of clothes fluttering could be heard. A graceful and light female cultivator of about seventeen or eighteen years of age walked out from the bend. Her name was Rong Xiaoyu. She was Fang Roujia's martial niece and also a disciple sent by the Li Mountain Sect to help Yan Zhongguan.
Her eyes were bright. After looking at Attendant Cang for a few years, she recognized that he was a demon. However, Li Xiumi's family was also of the water race. It was not strange that Yan Zhongguan was mostly a demon cultivator. However, she was shocked at the other's cultivation. It was much higher than her own.
She didn't step forward and only bowed from afar. "May I ask what message Sect Leader Li has for me?"
Eunuch Cang saw that the position she was standing in was very clever. It was just one step away from the cave and she didn't let her guard down because of the identity he mentioned. He couldn't help but curse in his heart and said, "Under the order of the sect leader, I'm here to give you two mounts."
Rong Xiaoyu was confused and asked, "Why are you giving me a mount all of a sudden?"
The attendant said, "The Upper Sect sent a letter the day before yesterday. He wanted my disciple to be careful when he went out, so he sent several flood dragons here. Firstly, they serve as leg strength, and secondly, they serve as bodyguards. Fellow Daoist Fang and the others have already received them, and it just so happens that there are a few extra. He wanted me to deliver them to Fellow Daoist, who will accept them. I still have to go somewhere else. "
Rong Xiaoyu's interest was piqued. She asked eagerly, "Where is the mount? Let me have a look. "
The chamberlain took a step forward. He raised his sleeves to attract the other party's attention, and said in a natural tone, "Right here."
As soon as he finished speaking, two black gas flew out from his sleeves and instantly turned into two burly demon generals. Each of them held a long hammer and smashed it down.
Rong Xiaoyu was also startled. She quickly retreated, but the chamberlain was determined to get what he wanted. How could he allow her to hide in the cave? He reached out his hand and grabbed. Strong winds danced in all directions and blocked her body.
But at this moment, she smiled slyly. Suddenly, countless colorful petals flew out from her body and turned into layers of soft light. The two long hammers were held up above her, and no matter how hard she tried, they couldn't fall down. With a light tap of her feet, she turned into a conveyance light and floated into the depths of the cave.
The chamberlain was shocked. The divine weapon in his hand was taken from the vault. Why couldn't it even break a defensive magic treasure on him? But he didn't have time to care about this now. He hurriedly said, "Don't let her go!"
The two Demon Generals followed without hesitation. However, when they turned the corner, they were both startled. They saw a faint crimson blood mist flying in front of them. Upon closer inspection, they found that there were actually countless tiny strange insects within it.
The path was narrow, and the two of them were tall, so it was too late to dodge. Relying on his thick skin and abundant primordial Qi, he circulated his Xuan Qi to protect his body. He waved his hammer back and forth in front of him and rushed straight in.
The insects swarmed up, and in the blink of an eye, the two demons were covered with stings. They didn't care at first, but after a few feet, they found it difficult to move. The Qi of blood in their body was like a broken dam, pouring out. Only then did they realize the danger and hurriedly protected their primordial Qi. But it was too late. After a few breaths, they fell to the ground, and the long hammers in their hands also fell.
The chamberlain followed closely behind. He was just a chamberlain. Even though his cultivation was not weak, if he relied on a lot of external medicine, he wouldn't be able to fight. Seeing this scene, he was scared out of his wits. He turned around and wanted to escape, but how could he be faster than the swarm of insects? In a flash, he was caught up and wrapped up. His limbs were cut off, leaving behind a broken body that fell from the sky.
At this moment, a Glazed Blood Insect leaped out from among the thousands of strange insects. There was a dark red line on its back, and the membranous wings on its back fluttered rapidly. It looked extremely ferocious.
He stared at the attendant for a moment, then curled his body into a ball and transformed into a pale-faced young man. He took out a talisman and placed it on the young man's head. Then, he threw out a sack and put the young man inside. He patted the sack with a satisfied look on his face.
Rong Xiaoyu saw the ferocious appearance of the chamberlain and was afraid. She hesitated for a while but still didn't come over. She bowed from afar and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother."
Zhang Chan snorted and waved at her. He glanced at the two long hammers on the ground and thought to himself, "It's a pity for these two. They are Jiao Dragons in human form, which is rare in this world. However, it seems like they have never fought with anyone before. They are reckless and unintelligent. They only have brute force, but they don't know how to use it. However, this is a good thing for me. These two are already a great supplement. I wonder what the Demon Lord, Ji Wang, feels like?"
Donglai Continent, Great Joy Dynasty, Dingbian County.
At the foot of the Thousand Li Drawing Bow Mountain, an army of more than thirty thousand people was attacking a city from three sides.
This city was built with the back of a mountain and was built with thick stones. The guards on the city walls were actually all monsters. Although they were ferocious, the soldiers who climbed up the ladders were not afraid of death, especially the few at the front. They were tall and strong and had the strength to subdue a lion and fight a tiger. Under their attack, the city wall was in danger and could fall at any time.
At this moment, a demon eagle suddenly flew out of the city. With a flap of its wings, a strong gust of wind swept up and the soldiers near the city wall were all swept up into the sky. After flying one round, it actually swept up an empty space. Then, it retracted its wings and landed on the flagpole of the city wall. It turned into a white-robed man wearing a tall hat and a large robe. He looked at the army formation that was covered with flags below the city wall with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The commander of the army stared at the man with one hand tightly grasping the sword at his waist. His face was a little gloomy.
A horse came from afar and a guard came down. He flipped down from the horse and half-knelt on the ground. He panted and said, "General, the commander said that the Demon General is powerful. My troops have suffered heavy losses and it will be difficult to attack the city again."
The general frowned and went forward to discuss. He whispered in the ear, "General, it is already late and the soldiers are tired. Why don't we attack tomorrow?"
The general thought for a while and nodded. He waved the flag behind him and the sound of the gong sounded. All the soldiers retreated like the tide. The white-clothed man transformed into an eagle again and hovered in the air. However, when he saw the hundreds and thousands of crossbows pointing towards the sky, the arrowheads glowing with a scarlet light, and the retreating army was also orderly, the white-clothed man did not dare to rush down. He let out a cry as if to demonstrate his power and flew back.
The general snorted and said, "Since I followed His Majesty to conquer the demons ten years ago, it has been a long time since I have seen such a powerful demon that can cultivate into a human form."
The general said, "I can go to the county and ask the Taoist priest from Xian Guan to come here and subdue the demon."
The general thought for a while and shook his head, "I am afraid they will not be able to. To subdue the demon, unless …"
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him. He was strict with his troops and when he saw this scene, he could not help but be angry and said, "Who is causing trouble in my army?"
A soldier excitedly rode over and said loudly, "General, Taoist Master Yuan is here."
"Taoist Master Yuan?"
The general was startled and then remembered something. His face lit up and his body shook. He looked around and said, "Quickly invite him in."
Not long after, a young Taoist in his twenties came over. He wore a black Taoist robe and looked very serious. His eyes were cold and emotionless. When he came over, all the soldiers had respectful expressions on their faces. They opened up a path for him to pass through.
The Taoist did not look around and came to the front of the general. He cupped his hands and said, "General Li, His Majesty heard that Lianshi City has been attacked for a long time without success and specially ordered me to help. Therefore, I flew here in the middle of the night. I wonder if General needs my help?"
Although the general was a relative of the Li family, he did not dare to be rude to him. Not only was the other party a disciple of Shangde Celestial Master, but he was also the son of the late Grand Military Officer Yuan. No matter which identity he had, he could not afford to offend him. Not to mention that he was carrying an imperial order. He hurriedly said, "I dare not. Taoist Master has come at the right time. There is an Eagle Demon on the city wall that is obstructing our army.
Yuan JIngqing took a few glances and suddenly a mysterious light appeared under his feet. He soared into the sky and flew straight to the stone city.
When the soldiers behind saw that he actually flew into the sky, they were all excited. They raised their weapons and shouted loudly, their voices shaking the wilderness.
When the man in white saw a ray of light coming over, his face immediately changed. He screamed and changed back to his original form. With a long roar, he rushed up.
Yuan Jingqing didn't even bother to look at it. A flying shuttle suddenly flew out of his sleeve, and wherever it passed, it was cut into two. Then, the mysterious light behind him grew longer, and with a sweep, a cloud of rubble and dust flew into the air with a loud boom.
When the dust and dust dispersed, the soldiers finally saw clearly that the stone city had a gap of more than ten feet long. The dozens of demons standing on it also disappeared without a trace.
Seeing such power, General Li was also dumbfounded. He knew that this Taoist Master Yuan's mana was strong, but with such power, even if there were more than ten thousand soldiers here, they would not be a match. However, this was a good opportunity to attack the city. He calmed himself down, pulled out his sword and pointed it forward. He shouted, "Soldiers, seize the city!"
Following his order, the flags swayed and the drums thundered. More than ten thousand soldiers behind him shouted and rushed in the direction of the city.
Yuan JIngqing silently watched this scene. This was already the last demon city in Donglai Continent. After dozens of expeditions, Le Chao had once again pacified the chaos of the demons. For the next few decades, there would be no more wars. At this point, it was time for him to leave this place and search for the next step of cultivation.
