Chapter 418: Chapter 280 Behead me anytime! _2

With his level of expertise, even though he traveled through the treacherous night, he could reduce many dangers.

But no matter how low the danger was reduced, there was always still some danger.

Not to mention some powerful demons could see through his disguise.

Among the evil spirits, there was also the law of the jungle.

Powerful demons and evil spirits would prey on the weaker ones to grow stronger... Despite not being as nourishing as the flesh and souls of the Human Clan, it remained a method for many demons to increase their cultivation during the treacherous night.

Today, he encountered a fierce tiger demon.

Although the tiger demon had not seen through his disguise, it intended to kill the bear demon to fill its own belly.

Little did it know that after skinning the bear demon, it would find a member of the Human Clan hidden inside.

The tiger demon roared towards the heavens, filled with delight, and lowered its head to tear the young man apart alive, chewing continuously with a look of enjoyment.

With a thunderous noise!

Another fist covered in black fur punched through the head of the tiger demon!

The newcomer was huge in stature, no smaller than a giant bear, but had a human face.

He was dressed in black clothes, but his body was covered in coarse, dark hairs, and at a glance, he looked like a bear as well.

"I am the Deputy Commander of the East Mountain Prefecture’s Observatory."

This man, resembling a bear demon, spoke with a stout voice and displayed his token.

Looking at the half-eaten young man, he sighed and asked, "Did you arrive too late? Do you have any last words?"

"Over there..."

The young man weakly extended his hand in the direction of the fired arrow, his voice faint as he gasped, "There’s... Tribulation Ash... chase it..."

"I understand."

The Deputy Commander fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What’s your name? After this is over, I’ll take you home and see to your proper burial..."

The young man shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and took his last breath.

The Deputy Commander’s face darkened slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he created a large pit.

He peeled the young man’s body from the bear demon and laid it in the pit.

Then he covered the pit with soil and rocks, burying it thoroughly.

Afterward, he placed a large boulder on top.

Using his finger as a pen, he left characters on the rock.

The tomb of a Zhao Ye person!

"Rest in peace."

The Deputy Commander closed his eyes slightly and sighed.

Although he did not know this Zhao Ye person, he could see the young man’s skills.

Just the technique of skinning and the art of concealing one’s presence, to transform into a demon, were incredibly rare.

If he had arrived just a bit earlier, he might have saved this young man’s life, and the young Zhao Ye person had great potential!

Sadly, his fate was sealed!

The Deputy Commander lingered no longer and strode off in the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

Along the way, any demon that blocked his path was blasted through!

In an era such as this, it was truly rare to see a member of the Human Clan with such a fierce approach to matters!

Shortly after the Deputy Commander had left, Lin Yan and his companions arrived at the site.

Looking at the freshly made grave and the characters on the rock.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master sighed and said, "In pursuit of that one arrow, we have mobilized nearly all of our available manpower, including the Observatory’s Zhao Ye people."

Mounted on a Jiao Linma, Lin Yan wore a solemn expression, thinking to himself, "The conditions in East Mountain Prefecture are somewhat more difficult than in Qifeng Prefecture."

On his journey here, he had noticed that East Mountain Prefecture was nowhere near as prosperous as Qifeng Prefecture.

Further, after nightfall, the number of evil spirits was evidently denser.

If we consider the area within a hundred miles, the quantity of evil spirits during the treacherous night surpasses that of Qifeng Prefecture by more than half.

Among them, the number of evil spirits with spiritual awareness and those who reached the level of ferocity, as well as the powerful demons... were also more numerous than in Qifeng Prefecture.

The circumstances of the Human Clan were even more difficult.

While contemplating this, Lin Yan looked towards the East Mountain Prefecture Master beside him.

In the tough environment of East Mountain Prefecture, this individual had taken up the banner, maintaining the survival of the various branches of the Human Clan and constructing cities.

The highest authority in Qifeng Prefecture was known as the Great City Guard!

However, the highest authority in Residual Prison Mansion and East Mountain Prefecture was known as the Lord!

Lin Yan seemed to have gained some insight into the difference between them.

——

Continuing forward, it was nearly nightfall.

But in this vicinity, there were no Pure Lands left.

In principle, these travelers were like beacons in the dark night, succulent Great Medicine in the eyes of Evil Spirits.

Only, with the East Mountain Prefecture Master here, his Qi Mechanism radiated outward, enveloping Lin Yan and the others.

At this moment, he was less of a human and more akin to a Demon.

By covering Lin Yan and Mr. Lu with his Qi Mechanism, it served to shield them from prying Evil Spirits, and it was also a declaration of his prey.

This would reduce the likelihood of Evil Spirits attacking.

"Cultivators can walk through the treacherous night by relying on the protection of Evil Spirits they worship..."

Mr. Lu said, "The Qi Mechanism of the Evil Spirit enveloping a Cultivator is tantamount to declaring prey!"

Lv Tang had a sudden realization, "So now, we are essentially Cultivators... and the Lord, is that ’Evil Spirit’?"

Lin Lei, deep in thought, said, "To the Night Fiends of the treacherous night, we are the Lord’s prey. If anyone wants to contest for prey, they will have to battle the Lord, a powerful Demon!"

"Traveling through the treacherous night like this is not without worry."

Just then, the son of Fu Zhong continued, "There’s a hierarchy among Evil Spirits, survival of the fittest! Many Cultivators are devoured in the darkness, along with the Evil Spirits they worship, by more powerful Demons..."

The Little White Ape nodded, saying, "No wonder! Often outside the Pure Land, vessels for worshiping Evil Spirits are placed, while Cultivators take refuge within the Pure Land!"

Mr. Lu laughed, "Taking refuge in the Pure Land allows for some degree of safety. But walking in the treacherous night, even for Cultivators, is extremely dangerous... Not to mention others, I wouldn’t dare to strut around in such a night!"

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and said, "If you always walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes?"

"Hm?"

Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks, took up the Divine Bow, aimed forward, and his gaze grew sharp.

Seeing this, everyone was startled, and they looked in the direction of Lin Yan’s gaze.

On the cliff ahead, a bear Demon covered in black fur was tearing a human corpse in half in midair.

With a rip, under the light of the stars and moon, entrails and blood spilled everywhere.

The bear Demon held a human head, pointing the neck toward itself, and gorged on the blood.

"Such a ferocious Demon?"

Lv Tang gasped.

Lin Yan didn’t shoot his arrow right away, his gaze solemn as he looked toward the East Mountain Prefecture Master.

Logically, both the East Mountain Prefecture Master and Mr. Lu, as beings who had cultivated their Primordial Spirits, had extremely keen perception, surpassing even Lin Yan.

But just now, neither the East Mountain Prefecture Master nor Mr. Lu gave any warning.

It was as if Lin Yan was the first to have noticed the scene ahead.

"Put it down," the East Mountain Prefecture Master said as he raised his hand and pressed it downward, speaking calmly, "He’s one of our own..."

Mr. Lu seemed to have known about it and kept his eyes closed, remaining silent.

The rest looked at each other, somewhat disbelieving.

Fu Zhong’s son frowned and said, "One of our own? He’s clearly not human!"

But they saw the bear Demon ahead throw away the head in its hand and stride toward them.

Lin Yan put away the Divine Bow and grasped the hilt of the Zhao Ye treasure blade, expressionless.

As the bear Demon approached, everyone’s breathing tensed, highly vigilant.

But when it arrived, they found it was a burly man, tall and stout, covered in coarse black hair.

Dressed in black robes, he looked like a giant bear.

At this moment, he was drenched in fresh blood.

There was still blood on his lips that he hadn’t wiped away.

In his eyes, a crimson light filled with madness could be seen.

"You must be Wu Chang? I heard you got a bow from Three Gods Valley, why didn’t you kill me just now?" the bear-like man asked somewhat puzzled, then looked toward the East Mountain Prefecture Master.

The Lord replied calmly, "I actually did want him to help you find release, but we need assistance on the way to the Forbidden Land. Die there... Before your death, you can still exert the last bit of your strength for the Human Clan."

"Agreed!"

The bear-like man looked at Lin Yan before him and let out a laugh.

His smile revealed full of blood, a hideous sight.

He touched his head and laughed heartily, "The last time I ventured into the Forbidden Land, I was gravely injured and could no longer suppress the lurking malady of the foreign True Qi. It’s been dragging on till today, with the loss of control only in these recent days... If there’s any trouble on this trip, you can take my head at any time!"
