Chapter 416: Chapter 410: Garrison Jiuzhou

Qingzhou, at the edge of Yang’an Prefecture.

Ye Wenxuan floated in the sky, like an Immortal on an excursion, her figure hidden within the mists and clouds.

After leaving Wutong Mountain, she had intended to go directly to the Martial Temple in the Great Qian Imperial City to seek someone.

Unexpectedly, she received some unexpected news on the way.

All demons had left their cave, aiming for revenge against Great Qian.

“Is this what you all wish to do?”

Ye Wenxuan was silent for a long while, unable to hold back a laugh.

She had focused on her cultivation and, other than what was necessary, had never deliberately engaged in any demon-slaying in her life.

But as long as one’s cultivation was high enough, the Great Demons in Thousand Demon Cave rarely dared to cause trouble in the world.

She only needed to quietly lie in the Water Curtain Cave for the Nanyang Sect to remain in a stable state, although there were still demons causing minor troubles, ultimately they were not a substantial threat.

Take Great Qian as an example.

Throughout the years, it had never faced the risk of destruction.

What about now?

She calmly looked into the distance, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion.

Just like now, even though she happened to be passing by and saw it, she would never think of taking action.

Ye Wenxuan was well aware of what was more important.

If that old dog learned of her whereabouts and she was slain by it, the Nanyang Sect would no longer have a day to clear the clouds and see the sun.

However, she did not mind taking a longer look.

That way, she could use this scene to teach the young man she had never met the meaning of ruling by doing nothing.

The perception of a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm is extremely terrifying.

Under her gaze, dense figures stepped out from the morning mist and walked towards this place.

“…”

At the county city gate, the duty officer who was on guard just yawned.

The next moment, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

“No way, again?”

Not long ago, he had just seen an aged wolf in a human shape swagger into the city.

He was lucky to have survived.

Latter he heard that the old wolf died a terrible death, its mournful howls filling the entire county city.

Nowadays, times are increasingly peaceful, and he heard that the Imperial Court has opened its treasury, erecting the rumored Immortal’s Arrays everywhere in Yang’an Prefecture.

Qingzhou has even started a martial academy and is considering taking in disciples from all over.

These ignorantly fearless demons dared to invade?

As the duty officer watched the enormous ferocious beast slowly approaching, his hand trembled as he drew his sidearm, “Who… Who goes there, demon, retreat at once!”

“…”

Watching the mortal draw his blade against the Demon King.

Ye Wenxuan was silent for a moment, suddenly feeling that perhaps she had stayed too long in the mountains and become somewhat unfamiliar with the ways of the world.

The adversary likely only needed a single breath to turn this petty officer into ash.

Just as she had thought.

The large beast paused briefly and then let out an ear-splitting roar.

Roar!

The foul demon wind swept through, ravaging its way into the city.

The little duty officer, frightened, dropped his sword and covered his ears, but he did not perish.

Only because a seemingly imperceptible light screen stood outside the county city.

“Get back here now.”

On the suddenly empty street, a figure clad in profound armor with a red cape, holding an array tool, shouted at the duty officer irritably.

The Demon-suppression Great General of Yang’an Prefecture stared intently outside the city.

There was a time when just the Howling Moon Demon King could plunge the entire Qingzhou into a nightmare for years on end.

Now, however, this Demon King was only a vanguard.

Soon, dense figures with bulging muscles stepped to the side of the county city, the largest of which seemed as though it could swallow the entire earthen city in one mouthful.

They stood tall like mountains; their slow steps alone caused the earth to tremble violently.

If not for the Formation’s protection, the entire county city would have collapsed into ruins long ago.

Atop the head of the tallest grey elephant.

There stood three additional figures, upright.

“Gulp.”

The Great General of Yang’an Prefecture shakily took out a map, one that Xu Qing’er had personally drawn for every prefecture.

He checked it against the scene before him.

He nearly fainted.

The black bear holding a precious vase was actually one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors, according to the rumor.

What did Qingzhou do to deserve the attention of such beings?

“Roll over them, level Qingzhou.”

The black bear looked forward casually, not even bothering to waste a sideways glance at the little Qingzhou.

If not for the cave master’s command.

It wouldn’t even be interested in Great Qian at all.

In the black bear’s memory, the Great Qian Martial Temple was just a backwater that leached off of Wutong Mountain.

It was at that moment.

Ye Wenxuan in the sky furrowed her brows slightly, looking towards the other side of the street.

Just as the numerous demons lifted their foot.

A wave of spiritual pressure, subtle as an undetectable ripple of water, gently spread out, then violently flipped them over.

At the end of the street, a woman walked at a leisurely pace, her eyes seemed newly opened and were covered with a layer of white film.

She wore a wide black robe decorated with exquisite Nanyang patterns that appeared grand and seemed to actually contain a dazzling sun.

“…”

Seeing that familiar face, Ye Wenxuan suddenly felt a hint of estrangement.

The foolish Ling Xi’er could display arrogance in front of most beings, but definitely not including one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors.

Moreover, the other party was not exuding pride, but instead showed a certain indescribable and composed demeanor.

Then, looking at the robe on Ling Xi’er’s body.

Ye Wenxuan silently glanced at the Nanyang symbol on her own body, repressed the thought of leaving, and continued to watch the scene unfold.

“I thought it was someone important, turns out it was you, the fool who was repeatedly beaten and left crying by the Golden Winged Birds.”

The black bear, along with two other Demon Emperors, promptly leaped down from the grey elephant.

As it clearly saw the person before it, it showed no panic, instead, it sneered.
