Chapter 206: The Howling Moon Invades Qingzhou (Late)
Chapter 206: The Howling Moon Invades Qingzhou (Late)
In the Qingzhou city, at the General's mansion.
After a brief rest, Aqian once again left Qingzhou and ventured into the demon territory, continuing her centuries-old task.
Without the Little Demon King, the Howling Moon remained a force to be reckoned with.
It could be said that the pressure had eased, but it did not mean that all was peaceful.
The courtyard was noticeably sparse.
To avoid any inconvenience during discussions, Fang Heng had moved his grandmother to another location beforehand.
You Longtao had not yet returned.
Jing Yuanhua needed to oversee the Tingyang County in his stead, so he remained seated by the stone table beneath the large tree, with only Bai Zimin by his side.
"Master and Lord Shen have arrived."
Bai Zimin bowed respectfully before using his finger techniques to notify his master. Without keeping them waiting, a sword returned from the heavens.
"You've arrived?"
Jing Yuanhua opened his eyes.
Such speed caused even Shen Yi to be slightly astonished. Indeed, a Martial Immortal's soul departure from the body was fundamentally different from that of mortals.
Even the fully realized Carefree Riding the Wind Technique... or even the Red Cloud Treasure Artefact, infused with all one's qi, could not compare to the speed of a soul.
Only with such traveling efficiency could one truly protect an entire state.
"The reason I called you back is mainly to discuss the matter of the Little Demon King. Its background is indeed formidable, but fortunately, our luck held out."
Jing Yuanhua took out the white jade, a faint smile on his face. "Don't blame me for being long-winded, but old people tend to ramble. Although the Blood Transformation Demon Emperor is entangled with the Immortal of Wutong Mountain, it is still a Demon Emperor. The chances of slaying it are slim, so if it's not necessary, try to stay within the borders of the Great Qian."
Within the Great Qian, they could still rely on their nominal alliance to deter the demons to some extent.
Once they ventured out, the Immortals of the Immortal Sect would not care about such things.
After conveying this matter, Jing Yuanhua fell silent for a moment.
"..."
Shen Yi averted her gaze, thinking that if it was just about this matter, there was no need for the other party to call them back. A simple message would have sufficed.
As expected, after hesitating for a long time, Jing Yuanhua turned to the cold and aloof girl: "Are you planning to leave?"
"After breaking through the Chaos Realm," replied Jiang Qiuluan, standing with her hands clasped behind her back. After a moment, she added, "I will kill the Howling Moon Demon King."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuanhua was stunned for a moment before slowly standing up. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "Thank you."
If killing the Little Demon King was a promise that had long been made, then slaying the Howling Moon Demon King went beyond that promise.
Obviously, this girl, whom he had raised by hand, was not heartless or ungrateful...
Thinking of this, Jing Yuanhua smiled bitterly at himself. She was never that kind of person; it was he who had made things turn out this way.
He composed himself and bowed respectfully, "The path of cultivation is fraught with dangers. I wish you good fortune and take care."
Jiang Qiuluan slightly raised her gaze and nodded slightly, "Take care."
Bai Zimin stood solemnly by. Master wasn't leaving right now, so this so-called farewell was actually about severing the relationship between the two.
The original promise had been fulfilled, and from then on, the other party was no longer a disciple of the General.
His master was implicitly treating his master as a fellow cultivator.
Crack—
Shen Yi heard the faint sound of something shattering once more.
"I probably can't follow you anymore," Jiang Qiuluan said softly, glancing at Shen Yi.
"I understand," Shen Yi nodded. That was how it was supposed to be.
He didn't envy her at the moment, as this woman had only one infant, while he had two in his qi sea. He could give birth to them whenever he wanted.
Jing Yuanhua quietly watched the two of them.
Just then, Jiang Yuanhua seemed to sense something.
His eyelids twitched, and he fell silent, closing his eyes once more.
The long sword on the table, imbued with dense killing intent, shot towards the sky!
Bai Zimin's expression changed drastically. He had been guarding his master for years, but this was the first time he had seen his master summon his Yin Spirit with such tension.
Jiang Qiuluan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Before the two could react, a red cloud suddenly rose into the sky beside them, carrying a tumultuous demonic aura as it pursued the long sword!
...
In Qingzhou, at the outskirts of Yang'an County.
An old wolf, clad in armor, slowly stepped into the county town, gazing around with a hint of reminiscence at the bustling commoners.
Upon seeing this wolf-headed humanoid monster, two knife-wielding constables froze for a moment, as if they had never encountered such a brazen demonic creature before, strolling in without any disguise and casually standing in place.
The next moment, the two shouted in unison, "Demon attack! Notify the government office immediately!"
As if responding to their cries, a treasure sword in the air streaked across the sky like a meteor, stirring up boundless sword intent and surging forth like a flowing river of light!
It was a grand spectacle, yet the aura was contained without the slightest leakage.
In the eyes of the old wolf, the white mist filling the sky churned violently. It was the incense aspiration power of Qingzhou, and at this moment, it rose with the sword, sweeping through like raging dragons!
A ferocious expression appeared on the face of the Howling Moon Demon King.
It was this sword that had hindered it for so many years.
Clang!
It stooped slightly, and a scimitar appeared in its claw, viciously and accurately chopping down on the sword body.
There was no surge of energy into the sky, no collapse of the county town.
It was as if two ordinary martial artists had clashed with a sword and a knife, producing a plain and unremarkable crisp sound.
Only the two combatants themselves knew the terrifying aura contained within the sword and the knife.
"You're still so petty," the Howling Moon Demon King said, gritting its fangs in a sinister smile as it forcefully received the sword strike.
Facing it, the ethereal Yin Spirit held the sword with one hand, hovering in mid-air. Behind it, the incense aspiration power condensed into substance, resembling a cluster of white clouds that transformed the surroundings into a fairyland.
"Do you want to die?"
A chilling intent flashed in Jiang Yuanhua's eyes, and his face remained devoid of any emotion.
Outside of Qingzhou was the Howling Moon Demon King's territory.
But here, in Qingzhou, it belonged to him, Jiang Yuanhua.
The Howling Moon Demon King gently stroked the dry fur on its head with its other hand. "That's not it. I just want to hold you up for a while and let my subordinates, who are not very competent, have a comfortable time in Qingzhou... Don't count on your general. Just in Yang'an County, I've arranged for three of them."
"..."
A hideous smile appeared on Jiang Yuanhua's face.
With the speed of his Yin Spirit, he dared to let the Demon Kings of the Nascent Soul Realm gather together. No matter how many came, he could kill them all, and after the slaughter, he could still return to block this wolf demon.
"Look at you."
The Howling Moon Demon King swung its scimitar again, blocking the descending long sword. "I said I just came to mess around, why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Before he finished speaking.
Jiang Yuanhua's palm, which was holding the long sword steadily, suddenly trembled slightly.
The originally ethereal Yin Spirit suddenly became like a rootless duckweed.
The tip of the sword slowly descended.
A dazed expression appeared on the Yin Spirit's face as he looked at the wolf demon before him and then turned to glance at the distant horizon.
"Tsk."
The Howling Moon Demon King shook his head. "It looks like your Qingzhou City is about to be gone."
