In the depths of the Demon Lock Valley, an old man in broken armor was imprisoned under a stone pillar with his hands shackled. He was the Marquis of Prestige, Min Yulin, who had once guarded the Northern Region and dominated the desert. At this time, Min Yulin was no longer as vigorous as he used to be. His white, frost-like hair hung down to the ground. Min Yulin's cultivation was only at the Heaven Realm, so the demons could only shackle him.
On the side, nearly a hundred Armor Demons were sitting on the grass, and there were three high-level demons guarding them. It was enough to show how much the demons valued Min Yulin. In fact, as long as Min Yulin was in the Demon Lock Valley, Min Zhan, Xu Ying, and other elders of the Yangwei Corps must serve the demons. Capturing Min Yulin was like capturing the lifeline of the Yangwei Corps.
"Rustle, rustle …"
Lin Muyu took Ouyang Yan's arm and flew at a low altitude with her. They landed gently on a cluster of cattail grass. Looking from afar, Ouyang Yan suddenly frowned and said, "There are so many demons guarding, what should we do?"
"What are you afraid of? Just get rid of them all."
"But … once the demons here are alarmed, I'm afraid the Demon Emperor and the Saint Master will soon sense it. And look at that mountain over there, there is something guarding the Demon Lock Valley."
Lin Muyu looked in the direction of Ouyang Yan's finger. Sure enough, there was a huge creature above the mountain, hidden in the clouds. It was about hundreds of meters long, and its body was covered with a faint lightning luster. Its scales reflected a frightening luster. It was a giant flying snake that was floating in the air and dozing off. Once it was awakened, everything here would be exposed.
"Flying snake …"
Lin Muyu frowned. She opened the Qiankun bag and rummaged through it. In the end, she found a pile of medicine. These were all concocted in the past. There were still three bottles of Breeze Drunk and one bottle of the antidote, Concentration Powder. However, with her and Ouyang Yan's Godly State Physique, half a bottle should be enough. Therefore, Lin Muyu immediately opened the cap of a bottle of Breeze Drunk. With a gentle wave of her palm, the Supreme Divine Power in her palm surged. The power of the Law of Wind was slowly activated, forming a breeze that blew towards the campsite of the Armor Demons and high-level demons.
Lin Muyu opened the cap of the Concentrating Spirit Powder and handed it to Ouyang Yan, saying, "Drink half of it and leave the other half for me."
"Yes."
Ouyang Yan's character was also the kind of vigorous and resolute kind. She raised her neck and drank half a small bottle of Concentrating Spirit Power, and Lin Muyu took the remaining half bottle and drank it up.
As the Refreshing Breeze Intoxication Pill dispersed in the wind, the drug gradually took effect. Soon, those armor demons in the distance became sluggish. They all widely opened their scarlet eyes, glaring at each other. They couldn't even utter a word.
Clang!
Unsheathing the Stars Sword, Lin Muyu flew back and forth in the group of armor demons at lightning speed without touching the ground. One sword light after another stirred up blood flowers. In the blink of an eye, a group of armor demons and three advanced demons were all killed. On the rock behind them, Ouyang Yan widely opened her eyes. She couldn't imagine that such an elegant and handsome young man like Lin Muyu could be so decisive. No wonder people all over the world revere this famous general who ranked second in the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning.
With two soft sounds, the shackles that locked Min Yulin's wrists were cut off by the sharp Stars Sword. Lin Muyu floated forward and knelt on one knee, supporting Min Yulin who was falling down. Min Yulin was also poisoned by the Refreshing Breeze Intoxication Pill. He just raised his head and looked at Lin Muyu's familiar face. Suddenly, Min Yulin's turbid eyes lit up. He remembered who Lin Muyu was. Instantly, he opened his mouth and let out a hoarse cry.
Lin Muyu knew what he wanted to say. With a gentle smile, she said, "Marquis, Lin Muyu came five years late. You won't blame me, will you?"
Min Yulin's face revealed an excited expression and a smile.
"Let's go, Marquis. We have to leave the territory of demons tonight. Otherwise, we might not be able to leave tomorrow."
Min Yulin nodded slightly. Lin Muyu turned around and carried Min Yulin on her back. Then, she turned to Ouyang Yan and asked, "Do you have enough strength to fly?"
Ouyang Yan shook her head desolately. She felt that after Lin Muyu found Min Yulin, a loyal subject of the empire, she might not need her anymore.
But who would have thought that Lin Muyu would stretch out an arm and say, "Then do you have the strength to carry me?"
Ouyang Yan smiled and said softly, "Yes."
… …
"Swoosh …"
A black shadow flew close to the ground in the Demon Sealing Valley. Lin Muyu did not dare to increase her strength too much. Otherwise, she would be easily discovered by powerful beings like the Demon King, the Sacred Master, and QianFeng. Moreover, she could easily alarm the huge flying snake sleeping in the mountains far away. If that big guy was alarmed, then it would be really troublesome.
In the night sky, the scene of the Demon Race soldiers camping out in the open gradually disappeared from sight. Lin Muyu activated her Spirit Meridian Art, trying her best to avoid the sight of the Demon Race patrols. Finally, after nearly two hours of slow flying, they arrived in the distant sky above the Earthen City. Following that, she brought Ouyang Yan and Min Yulin straight into the Earthen City. Coincidentally, Xu Ying also brought a hundred soldiers into the City Lord's Manor at this time. He exclaimed in shock, "Your Highness, you've arrived so quickly? Ah … "
When he saw Min Yulin on Lin Muyu's back, Xu Ying trembled all over. "Marquis …"
The effects of the Refreshing Breeze Intoxication dissipated very quickly. Min Yulin recovered some strength and looked up at Xu Ying with a smile. "Old General Xu, long time no see."
Xu Ying immediately knelt on one knee and said with tears streaming down his face, "The Marquis is still alive … That's great, that's great …"
At this time, Min Zhan also ran out of the residence and knelt at Min Yulin's feet with tears streaming down his face. He hugged his father. It was an indescribable feeling that this father and son pair were once highly regarded generals of the Empire. Now that they had fallen to such a state, it was truly regrettable.
After a while, Min Yulin turned around and said, "I heard … that the Great Deacon is now the Empire's Supreme Being and has the title of King Qin. Since Your Highness Yu has risked danger to save us, please arrange for our advance and retreat."
Xu Ying, Min Zhan, and the other generals also knelt and said in unison, "We will follow Your Highness's orders!"
Lin Muyu nodded cheerfully. "The security in the Demon Sealing Valley is very tight. The news of me rescuing the Marquis and Ouyang Yan from the Demon Sealing Valley will soon spread, so we must make a prompt decision to gather our trusted human army and leave through the crack in the Canopy of Heaven that I've destroyed. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave by daybreak."
"Then let's move," Xu Ying said.
"No, if we leave Earth City now, we will definitely be questioned by the demon patrol. Is there a better way?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Yes."
Min Zhan's previous cowardice disappeared and he said, "An hour ago, the demons sent someone to inform us that the Sky Curtain in the South has been destroyed. They ordered me to lead an advance force of 20,000 soldiers to repair the Sky Curtain."
"That's great."
Lin Muyu clapped her hands and said, "Help the Marquis and Ouyang Yan change into soldier's clothes. We will leave the demon territory while the Sky Curtain is being repaired."
"Yes." Min Zhan was a little puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, was the Sky Curtain really destroyed by you?"
"Yes."
For a moment, Min Zhan's eyes were filled with awe and shock. In his mind, Lin Muyu had completely changed. The Sky Curtain in the South had guarded the secret of the demon race for tens of thousands of years without being destroyed. Now, Lin Muyu had created a big hole in it. Lin Muyu's strength had reached an unimaginable level. Moreover, there was news that the Demon King's palace had been destroyed. Needless to say, Lin Muyu must have been the culprit. This time, he had caused quite a stir in the demon race.
…
Not long after, the advance guard in the earthen city quickly assembled. Out of the twenty thousand people, only five hundred or so were cavalry, the rest were infantry. No wonder they were completely not a match for Qin Yan's royal army, and still suffered a crushing defeat despite being outnumbered. Under the moonlight, Lin Muyu rode on a skinny horse, looking at the soldiers at the side who were all holding rusty spears, axes and other weapons, she instantly felt extremely sad. This group of humans worked for the demon race, but the demon race seemed to have never seen them as humans, only as a group of enslaved tools of war.
The group slowly descended the mountain. Not long after, they encountered a small demon patrol team. A high-ranking demon chiliarch rode forward and shouted, "Why did the advance force descend the mountain without permission?"
Min Zhan hurriedly raised a silver token and said, "Marshal QianFeng has ordered us to head south to help repair the Sky Curtain. Please let us pass."
"Oh, so it's the marshal's order. Go then."
The devilish chiliarch's lips curled up into a meaningful sneer.
Lin Muyu saw this and couldn't help but feel nervous. She walked up to Min Yulin's warhorse and said, "Marquis, it doesn't seem that simple."
Min Yulin was a smart man. He nodded and said, "I can see that. Let's go first and act accordingly."
"Mn."
… …
In the early hours of the morning, the eastern sky was already turning white. Finally, the vanguard army had arrived at the southern border of the Tongtian Gorge. Looking from afar, a huge hole had been poked in the huge sky. Around the hole, the demon army came and went. In addition, there were two huge black shadows flying in the air. They were two giant flying snakes.
"Flying snakes! They're flying snakes! "
The advance force soldiers all revealed expressions of fear. The enormous flying snakes were the demon race's weapon, but they were also the human race's nightmare. Many people had seen the battle between the enormous flying snakes and humans. If the magic crystal cannons were the demon race's nightmare, then the enormous flying snakes were the human race's nightmare.
Min Zhan's gaze turned cold. He said, "Don't panic. Keep advancing."
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, a high-ranking demon wearing the insignia of Captaincy rode over. He was one of QianFeng's generals, Lianxiao.
"Master Lianxiao!"
Min Zhan and Xu Ying saluted in unison. The demons had created a new military salute for the advance force. Different from the Empire's salute, it was a more respectful bow.
