How could this happen? A group of Demon Wolves attacked the Village? Xiang Xueer felt the veins bulging on her forehead as she drew the Azure Wind Sword, preparing to rush into the village. Before she could move, she seemed to hear a familiar voice crying out, "Sister, sister, help me!"
A Duck? Xiang Xueer looked down and immediately spotted the shadow of the Duck, standing next to none other than Gunaara. How did these two end up here?
Before she could think further, she noticed that a pack of Demon Wolves had surrounded them, ready to attack at any moment. This was dangerous.
Xiang Xueer leaped forward in an instant, rushing towards the two. With a whoosh, the blade of the Azure Wind Sword flashed with dazzling cold light. As soon as the sword energy was unleashed, it swept through a large number of Demon Wolves.
The injured Demon Wolves fell to the ground, howling in pain. Xiang Xueer slowly stood up, and the Killing Intent radiating from her body made the beasts retreat in fear.
Wait? The Duck was stunned for a moment and turned to look beside it. That handsome silhouette, that agile reach, and that perfectly cold profile—oh my god, who else could it be besides my sister?
"Sister!" The Duck instantly burst into tears, sobbing so hard that it couldn't distinguish between snot and tears. After rubbing against her leg frantically, it looked up with emotion and said, "I knew you wouldn't leave me behind!"
Xiang Xueer glanced at the Duck and reached out to pat its head. "Sorry we’re late. Don't worry; I won't let these beasts hurt you!"
Upon hearing this, the Duck cried even more tragically. Gunaara was right; they didn’t mean to abandon him. Xiang Xueer shot a sideways glance at Gunaara. "How did this woman end up here?"
"This is a long story!" The Duck tugged at Gunaara, who was still somewhat shaken. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer, Gunaara began to cry loudly, "Everyone is dead! The whole village is dead!"
"Everyone is dead?" Xiang Xueer was shocked. Just then, Li Yunyang, Lian Cheng Xue, Ling Zhu, and Fat Ancestor arrived behind her. Seeing the horrific scene before them filled them with anger.
"Don't just stand there; hurry into the village and see if there are any survivors!" With Xiang Xueer's command, everyone quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed in, checking house by house.
The pack of wolves surrounding Xiang Xueer seemed to grow wary and dared not approach her easily. The Killing Intent emanating from her mixed with the Witch's magic was enough to scare these beasts into fleeing in all directions.
"Trying to run?" Xiang Xueer's eyes twitched rapidly as she quickly pulled both hands back forcefully, tossing Gunaara and the Duck onto the rooftop in an instant.
Duck and Gunaara are safe now, but at the entrance of the village, Xiang Xueer's red pupils narrowed into a thin line as she raised her Azure Wind Sword and began to unleash a massacre.
"Everyone is dead, all dead!" Li Yunyang shouted as he hacked at the Demon Wolf that was biting at him, struggling to contain his anger. Meanwhile, Lian Cheng Xue, Ling Zhu, and Fat Ancestor had yet to find a single survivor; in the blink of an eye, the entire village had been completely slaughtered.
‘Awooo!’ The angry howl of the Demon Wolf echoed from above the eaves, as if signaling a retreat. Immediately, all the Demon Wolves began to flee in all directions.
After shaking off the wolf blood from her Azure Wind Sword, Xiang Xueer finished off the group at the entrance. The pile of corpses formed a small mountain, completely blocking the doorway. She cast a cold glance at the Wolf Demon howling on the roof and swiftly landed beside it.
"I'll make sure you can never howl again!" Her blood-red eyes appeared even more furious and sinister. With a swift motion of her sword, she ended the life of that wolf.
By dawn, all the Demon Wolves in the village had been eliminated by the five of them. Looking at the scattered bodies of both Demon Wolves and villagers on the streets, Xiang Xueer couldn't help but slowly close her eyes; she really didn't want to see any more.
Li Yunyang punched the wall beside him, his fist already stained with blood: "These despicable beasts, Wolf King, I will never let you go!"
"What good does saying this do?" Ling Zhu said darkly, her body covered in Wolf Demon blood. She glanced sadly at the corpses on the ground: "The entire village has become a ghost town; this isn't just a problem with one Wolf King, it's all orchestrated by the Demon Lord!"
Xiang Xueer slowly opened her eyes: "No, when the Demon Lord emerged from the Demon Prison Tower, it shook the entire demon realm. Even I could feel that demons in the realm were starting to stir. The wolf pack's attack on Village is just the beginning; we must hurry to stop the Demon Lord, or such tragedies will happen again!"
Indeed, this was the crux of the matter. What they needed to do now was to gather the Five Divine Artifacts. Fat Ancestor frowned: "Things have changed; it seems we need to find the Empty Copper Mirror first and put aside matters regarding the Witch!"
"What? Did you sense some resonance?" Lian Cheng Xue turned to look at Fat Ancestor. He shook his head: "Don't worry; we don't need resonance to find him because our artifact's Ancestor knows that this Kongtong Seal is right atop Wuyue Mountain!"
Wuyue Mountain, located south of the Izumo Kingdom, is about three hundred kilometers away from here. There is a famous Taoist temple called Southern Mountain Sect of the Five Mountains. For a long time, the Kongtong Seal has been regarded as their treasure.
As soon as Fat Ancestor finished speaking, Xiang Xueer found it strange and asked, "Since you already knew this, why wait until now to look for this Kongtong Seal!?"
"Hehe!" Fat Ancestor scratched his head awkwardly: "I have some personal grievances with those who possess the Kongtong Seal. I estimate that we won't get through three sentences before a fight breaks out. Moreover, those old Taoists on Wuyue Mountain are not easy to deal with; getting them to willingly hand over the Kongtong Seal might be quite difficult!"
"Now I see, the hardest part is saved for last!" Xiang Xueer took out a map, glanced at it, and pointed to the five mountain ranges in the south. "Interesting, I love doing challenging things!"
Duck and Gunaara hurried over, looking at the surrounding area cleared of Demon Wolves, feeling relieved. They stared at Xiang Xueer and asked, "Sister, what should we do next?"
Xiang Xueer nervously put away the map and looked around. "Clean up the bodies and head to Wuyue Mountain."
As Xiang Xueer and her group made their way toward Wuyue Mountain, above the Nether Abyss where Heaven and Earth Shatter had occurred, Azure Wind Sword One was struggling against the combined attacks of the Wolf King and the mysterious man, on the verge of defeat.
Damn, these two are incredibly strong. He couldn't remember the last time he faced such formidable opponents. It seemed difficult to escape unscathed today. However, even if he couldn't make it back alive, he had to inform the other experts of Saint Ten about the situation with the Million Demon Army.
At that critical moment, he made a significant decision. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands and bit his finger, slamming it onto the ground. "Summoning."
Amidst white smoke, a humanoid leopard appeared with cow-like ears and a long tail. Its upright body had two hands resembling giant clubs.
It raised its head and roared at the sky. With red eyes, it glanced at Azure Wind Sword One and asked, "Old friend, what’s going on?"
This creature was called Zhu Qian, one of the ancient ten divine beasts alongside Taotie, Qilin, and Zhongming Bird. Azure Wind Sword One squinted down into the Cavern and immediately saw Zhu Qian staring in shock at the Million Demon Lord sleeping underground.
"I'll cover you; you need to break through to Sky Beyond Mountain immediately!" Azure Wind Sword One whispered in its ear. Zhu Qian turned to look at the two people beside him and immediately grew worried. "Can you handle it alone?"
"I have to make it work; there's no time to worry about that now!" After summoning the divine beast, Wolf King and Masked Man instantly understood his intention: "You think you can send out a message? Not a chance!"
