Chapter 107: Thank Goodness for You, Little Bride
Chapter 107: Thank Goodness for You, Little Bride
At Nine Coils Mountain, Golden Canary's face paled as she watched the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties disappear. Clenching her skirt, she dashed frantically up the mountain.
"Blood Droplet!" she cried.
The familiar figure did not appear, and the peak was eerily empty.
Golden Canary felt inexplicably lost.
The Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties had vanished, and Blood Droplet... was gone.
Everything seemed so bizarre and hard to accept.
The mountain breeze lifted Golden Canary's hair, and she stared stubbornly at the sky.
"Blood Droplet, you're not really the demon that they say you are, are you?"
"Am I that... demoness you killed?"
Ever since the origin of the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties was uncovered, a rumor had been spreading secretly at Nine Coils Mountain.
Whenever the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties appeared, so would Blood Droplet, who was said to be a great demon, a drop of blood from the Buddha.
Blood Lord preached the Demon Control Art as a way to atone for his sins.
This story was considered nonsense by many at Nine Coils Mountain, while others believed it.
Golden Canary stood alone at the peak, feeling desolate.
She disliked the story of the Buddha slaying the demoness.
...
In No Return City, Yuan Qi wore a raincoat, and when he looked up at the Governor on the city wall, a nameless fear gripped his heart.
Just moments ago, a horde of demons had attacked, and the Governor had single-handedly slain over a thousand of them.
This should have been a morale-boosting event, but for some reason, when Yuan Qi glanced at Qi Yuan, he felt an inexplicable terror, as if he were a terrifying demon from hell.
Especially when Qi Yuan sat on the wall, Yuan Qi could clearly see blood-red hues flashing in his eyes.
Just seeing those eyes made Yuan Qi's heart tremble.
It was as if he were looking at a terrifying demon instead of the Governor.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid of me?" Qi Yuan's voice echoed from the wall.
It felt like a stone landing on Yuan Qi's heart. He clenched his teeth and said, "Governor, your current state... seems a bit strange."
He dared not look at Qi Yuan.
"Hmm, you may leave now," Qi Yuan said softly, seemingly unbothered.
Hearing this, Yuan Qi let out a sigh of relief and hurried away.
For some reason, the closer he had been to the Governor, the more fear welled up in his heart.
His heart felt incredibly stifled.
On the wall, Qi Yuan held a broken sword, still stained with Blood Droplet's blood. His hand trembled, and the blood droplet fell.
"After this enlightenment, my sin extraction has increased tenfold, reaching 10%.
Am I going to turn into a monster like those demons?" Qi Yuan pondered.
Currently, his emotions were very unstable.
Greed, rage, lust, arrogance, and other emotions keep swirling within me," he continued.
Especially after slaying those demons, these feelings were at their worst.
"Little Bride, are you afraid of me?" Qi Yuan turned and looked at the anxious Little Bride behind him.
Little Bride was flustered and a bit clumsy, almost tripping. A wooden plaque fell to the ground.
Qi Yuan picked it up; it was Tietie.
He pulled Little Bride into a tight embrace, feeling the faint scent of her clothing. Qi Yuan smiled in satisfaction, "Thank goodness for you... I've been playing games alone too much, and it can get quite boring."
The redness in Qi Yuan's eyes slowly faded, and the terrifying aura that had surrounded him dissipated.
He held Little Bride, and they sat together on the wall, gazing at the vast desert. Unfortunately, in the Windflow Realm, there was no sunrise or sunset.
...
Among the Demon Controller's camp, Wu Tong's face turned dark with anger.
"Do I have to personally deal with this tiny No Return City?" he roared.
He slammed his fist on the table, shattering the wine cups and jade plates.
The dozen or so Nation Protectors in the room lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Recently, their vanguard Tie Suo had gone to No Return City and never returned.
Tie Suo was the second strongest in the camp, second only to Wu Tong.
Without understanding the situation, these people would not dare to go themselves. They could only control some demons and follow the plan to besiege No Return City.
However, those demons never returned.
"Hmph!" Wu Tong glared at his fearful subordinates. "If Mi Sang finds out about this, how do you think he'll mock me?"
No one in the room dared to speak.
After all, if they went to another city and lost, it was just a loss. Without a deep-seated grudge, the other side would accept their surrender.
One of the older men stepped forward, "Leader Wu Tong, perhaps the name No Return City is ill-fated, leading to our inability to return."
They were too afraid to go themselves.
Hearing this, Wu Tong's anger intensified. "Who dares to go to No Return City? Capture No Return City, and I will reward you handsomely, perhaps even with some... Demon Control Origin."
The people in the room breathed a little faster.
The reason they weren't attacked by the demons was due to the Demon Control Origin.
The group currently controls the demons, all by borrowing the origin of demon control, not their own.
If they obtain the complete origin of demon control, they will not only command more and stronger demons but also greatly aid their cultivation, even allowing them to surpass the Nation Guardian and enter the Earth Myth realm.
However, everyone present still felt apprehensive.
"General Wu Tong, why don't we all rush in together?" asked the old man who had previously commented on the ill-chosen name of No Return City.
"Yes, let's go and destroy No Return City together!"
"If General Wu Tong personally takes action, No Return City will be annihilated in an instant!" everyone urged.
Wu Tong looked at the crowd, feeling angry inside. His face changed, and he finally said, "In one month, we will all attack No Return City!"
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he left the tent.
Not long after, he arrived at a lake.
He took out a small bottle of liquid and poured it into the lake.
The originally clear lake water instantly turned into a blood-red color.
Then, a terrifying projection appeared.
"Pay respects to the Supreme Being!" Wu Tong showed a respectful expression to the projection in the lake.
"How is the Yuzhou region?" the projection slowly asked.
"Supreme Being, I've encountered some trouble.
In No Return City, there's a powerful cultivator, a Nation Guardian, who is suspected to be a disciple of the White Emperor of White," Wu Tong replied respectfully.
Wu Tong was well aware of Mi Sang's thoughts. Having reached this position, he naturally understood that Mi Sang didn't want to oppose No Return City and leave the Yuzhou region.
Wu Tong, on the other hand, took this opportunity to come here, following the orders of the Supreme Being before him.
"A disciple of the Emperor of White... could it be..." the Supreme Being's heart was filled with fear, but he quickly suppressed this emotion, "No, the Emperor of White must not know about this matter. Otherwise, instead of a disciple, it would be the Emperor himself coming here."
The Supreme Being was extremely fearful of the Emperor of White.
After all, the Emperor of White and the Honored One were the two strongest individuals in this world.
The Supreme Being dared not confront them.
"So, it's just a coincidence." Having understood this, the Supreme Being's fear dissipated, "Are you afraid you're no match for that disciple of the Emperor of White?"
"Yes, I fear not death, but I'm afraid of disrupting your plan." Wu Tong replied.
He knew that the Supreme Being was plotting something involving No Return City and Kalan City.
He didn't know the specifics, nor dared he ask.
However, if he succeeded, there would be an incredible opportunity."
The Supreme Being's voice echoed, "Hold this object. If you can't defeat the disciple of the Emperor of White, use it.
This object contains my most powerful attack, which can instantly annihilate an Earth Myth cultivator.
Even a Supreme Being, if they are of a lower stage, would face the danger of death against my attack.
The Emperor of White has three thousand disciples, but besides the most core few,
with this object, you can ensure the capture of No Return City."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tong looked at the pale purple droplet with great excitement.
"Thank you, Supreme Being. Wu Tong will definitely help you find what you need!"
Capturing No Return City was just the first step.
He still had to find what the Supreme Being needed.
At the same time, deep within a northern abyss, a man clad in purple stood.
Before him was an ancient, profound stone tablet.
He had obtained this stone tablet three thousand years ago.
After three thousand years of continuous research, he finally uncovered its secrets, which contained a secret from ancient times.
"No Return City... the place where the demoness is buried, the source of all sin. I,
The man in purple's eyes were filled with greed.
If he obtained it, what were the so-called Honored One and Emperor of White compared to this?
"But I can't go myself, or I'll definitely attract attention from all sides..."
The man in purple was very powerful, among the top few in the north.
His actions would definitely attract attention from all sides.
If he went to No Return City, his purpose would likely be exposed.
So, he could only use Wu Tong as a pawn to find the source of sin and then go himself.
"No Return City is good... but... what about the place where the Great Demon achieved demonhood?" The man in purple hesitated.
There was also a great opportunity there, no less than No Return City.
But it was evident that compared to No Return City, it would be more difficult to capture.

...
Kalan City was shrouded in dark clouds, the atmosphere heavy.
Town Guardian Dong Long received a report from his subordinates, his face revealing a determined expression as he said, "Wu Tong is about to lead his entire army to besiege No Return City. What are your thoughts, everyone?"
The Nation Guardians present all had solemn expressions upon hearing this, "Wu Tong is even more rigid and powerful than Mi Sang. If No Return City falls, our Kalan City..."
The people present were deeply concerned.
Although Mi Sang was strong, he had been holding back in his attacks on Kalan City, obviously fearing for his own life.
On the other hand, Wu Tong seemed to be extremely aggressive.
"Wentai, what do you think?" Dong Long turned to the Liu Wentai siblings.
Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei had met Qi Yuan before.
"The Town Guardian of No Return City is incredibly powerful, even to the point of being a Land Myth," Liu Wentai said, recalling Qi Yuan's astonishing sword strike, filled with reverence.
"Land Myths are indeed powerful, but this time, Wu Tong has brought an overwhelming force, with possibly over a hundred Nation Guardians."
"Additionally, there's an endless Demon Beast Army. Even a Land Myth would be surrounded and trapped. So, I suggest we invite the Town Guardian of No Return City to come to our Kalan City once more."
Hearing this, Dong Long nodded, "If he's willing to come to Kalan City, I'm even willing to offer him the position of Town Guardian here."
Liu Wentai quickly responded, "Everyone, the Town Guardian of No Return City would never come to Kalan City!"
He recalled Qi Yuan's sword strike that day, which clearly expressed his attitude.
"Arrogant fool!" An old man spoke with a deep voice, "Do you think a Land Myth can do as they please?"
Just then, a heavy voice spoke, "A Land Myth can indeed do as they please. If Liu Xiantai's words are true, and that Town Guardian comes to Kalan City, our city will be in even more danger."
"Now, we're worried about No Return City, but we should also consider how to protect our Kalan City if that strong individual leaves."
Everyone present acknowledged this.
It was a fact that No Return City couldn't be defended.
That Town Guardian would also leave.
What they faced next would be Wu Tong's army.
Their pressure was far greater than before.
Town Guardian Dong Long stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance with profound eyes, "I only hope that before that strong individual leaves, he can deal a heavy blow to Wu Tong's army."
With such a statement, Wu Tong's army wouldn't arrive at Kalan City so quickly, and Kalan City would have ample time to prepare.
"Wentai, Zhao Ju, take some people and keep an eye on No Return City from a distance."
Dong Long instructed, "If there's any news from No Return City, report it to Kalan City immediately."
What he wanted to know wasn't about No Return City's fall, but about the status of Wu Tong's army after the city's defeat.
"Understood!" Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju acknowledged the order.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju hid in the vast desert, concealing their figures.
Behind them, over ten cultivators also hid their presence.
They were the Reconnaissance Soldiers of Kalan City, experts in concealment and speed.
Zhao Ju hid in the sand, a playful smile on his face, "That Town Guardian of No Return City sure loves to show off... He's so cool.
If it were me, I'd have run away from Wu Tong's army without a second thought."
"But he's so cool, sitting alone on the city wall, facing thousands of troops without fear. It's like he's showing off, but it's still cool!"
"Do you really think that Town Guardian isn't afraid?" Liu Wentai recalled Qi Yuan.
That Town Guardian wasn't as Zhao Ju described.
"Rest assured, when Wu Tong's army arrives, he'll definitely unleash a sword strike!" Zhao Ju was full of confidence.
If he had such strength, he'd follow in the footsteps of that Town Guardian.
Not adhering to martial morals is truly not adhering to martial morals, and being cool is truly being cool.
Liu Wentai gave Zhao Ju a disdainful look, "Don't judge others by your own standards."
Zhao Ju shrugged, "I judge people by their actions, not their thoughts."
"I admire you for standing up to Wu Tong's army, but the only regret is that No Return City will fall." Zhao Ju spoke with a hint of regret.
