Whoosh!
Dawn was about to break.
A figure flashed across the mountains like a swift breeze.
Moments later, he arrived at the peak of a mountain, his gaze coolly surveying the distance.
He stood tall and proud, with thin lips that exuded a king’s arrogance.
It was none other than the second disciple of the General of Qingzhou, Wei Wuji—Xiang Qingyu, known as the Overlord!
However, at this moment, in addition to the calmness in his eyes, there was a faint hint of puzzlement.
Within Yongan County, he had not sensed the presence of strong demonic energy.
In fact, the demonic energy here was so faint it was almost nonexistent!
Hadn’t the Minor General said that traces of several dozen Demon Saints and Great Demons had been detected within the Mo Xu Mountain Range, indicating an imminent invasion of Qingzhou?
If that were truly the case, the concentration of demonic energy in the air would definitely not be this diluted.
So that meant...
Those Great Demons had not yet launched their attack or entered Yongan County!
This was the conclusion that Xiang Qingyu had reached in his heart.
The kid has good luck.
Immediately after this thought emerged in his mind, a second idea surfaced.
Now that he himself had arrived in Yongan County, it was naturally up to him to deal with those Great Demons.
The kid would not only avoid a life-and-death crisis, but by following at his heels, he might even be able to gain a significant merit.
With this thought, Xiang Qingyu took a step forward, employed his Qinggong, and vanished on the spot.
Since those monsters in the Mo Xu Mountain Range had not invaded yet, he decided to check the situation at Camp Geng in Yongan County first.
With Qinggong, his speed was even faster than that of the Demon Horse.
In just half an hour, Xiang Qingyu had already arrived outside of Camp Geng.
In his perception, Camp Geng was sparsely populated with only a few Demon-Slaying Colonels and some ordinary soldiers.
As for the Grandmasters who were Minor Generals, none were within the camp.
They must have all been deployed to the edge of Yongan County, ready to meet the invasion of those Great Demons.
That’s what he figured, his eyebrows slightly knitting together.
A camp ranked lower down on the list inherently lacked strong martial power.
Even if all the Minor Generals and Colonels were dispatched to the edge of Yongan County, against dozens of powerful demons of the Demon Saint Realm, they would be of no use.
What was most crucial was that, through his perception, his junior brother was still stationed at the camp and had not left.
Manning the central command, dispatching troops and issuing orders.
But that depends on the strength of the forces underneath you!
If this were Lin Yuan City, with the Commander-in-chief commanding and dispatching troops here, it would be fitting for them to head to the frontline to slay demons.
Given Camp Geng’s strengths, those Minor Generals and Colonels on the frontlines would probably not be able to withstand even a single move from those Demon Saints and Great Demons.
As the only formidable force within Yongan County, not going to the edge of the county to defend at this time, but rather staying in the camp to command and issue orders, was simply absurd!
With this thought, he felt a bit of dissatisfaction rise within him.
Thus, with one step, he entered Camp Geng.
His sudden appearance immediately caught the attention of all the Colonels and soldiers within Camp Geng.
Their expressions turned vigilant in an instant.
However, as they recognized Xiang Qingyu’s attire and his face, they immediately relaxed.
"We have seen Lord Xiang!"
In all of Qingzhou, the name of the Overlord was known to all.
Therefore, they were naturally familiar with Xiang Qingyu’s appearance.
"Hmm."
Xiang Qingyu nodded calmly and then spoke, "Summon Qin Zheng to see me."
He did not wish to waste time. After calling Qin Zheng out, he would immediately head to the edge of Yongan County to counter any Great Demons that could appear at any moment.
Xiang Qingyu’s indifferent voice caused the Colonels and soldiers to be taken aback, then their expressions turned somewhat unnatural.
Even more so, some of them now looked at Xiang Qingyu with scrutiny and alertness in their eyes.
This change did not escape Xiang Qingyu’s perception.
Once again, his eyebrows lightly creased.
Just as he was about to say more, a calm voice suddenly arose.
"You’ve finally arrived."
Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw the flap of a tent being lifted.
A tall figure then walked out from within.
Adorned in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, with an upright stature, and though not exuding the slightest aura, his presence demanded the attention of others.
"You’ve advanced to the Great Grandmaster Realm?"
Xiang Qingyu’s brows raised slightly.
And then he nodded in realization before he spoke, "No wonder you could handle those Demon Saints and Great Grandmasters."
He naturally recognized Qin Zheng’s talent.
Putting aside the battle the two once had, the mere fact that Qin Zheng was taken in by Wei Wuji proved Qin Zheng’s extraordinary gifts.
And such a prodigy, dealing with ordinary Demon Saints and Great Grandmasters, was like catching fish in a barrel.
Similarly, it was no surprise that the kid dared to make bold claims about returning to Lin Yuan City to slay the Cangyuan Dragon Lord.
Advancing to the Great Grandmaster...
So this was the kid’s reliance.
Xiang Qingyu found it somewhat amusing in his heart.
The Great Grandmaster is divided into three Realms:
Qi Drawing, Pill Formation, and Spirit Consolidation!
Between each Realm lies an insurmountable chasm of difference.
The Commander-in-chief, Wei Wuji, was at the peak of concentration, just half a step away from Perfection, and on the verge of advancing to the Martial Saint Realm—a formidable existence.
Yet even such an existence did not dare to be completely confident in dealing with the Cangyuan Dragon Lord.
This youngster who had just advanced to the Great Grandmaster Realm and hadn’t even formally begun Qi Drawing practice, actually dared to boast that he would return to Lin Yuan City to kill the Cangyuan Dragon Lord!
Truly, a calf doesn’t fear a tiger!
All sorts of thoughts flowed through his mind.
Finally, he shook his head gently and said, "Now that you’ve advanced, come with me into the Mo Xu Mountain Range and help deter those monsters back."
After he finished speaking, he didn’t see any reaction from the young man before him.
Xiang Qingyu’s brow furrowed, and he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, shouting in a low voice, "Do you know how powerful that Cangyuan Dragon Lord is?!"
"Even master doesn’t dare to be certain of killing it! You’ve just advanced to the Great Grandmaster. Where do you get the confidence to kill the Cangyuan Dragon Lord?!"
"Besides, at this moment, within the Mo Xu Mountain Range, a Great Demon is about to invade. If you’re not here to defend the borders of Qingzhou, what can you do if you return?!"
"Don’t add to the chaos! Once we drive back those Great Demons in the Mo Xu Mountain Range, I need to rush back to Lin Yuan City to help master battle the river dragons!"
With every sentence he bellowed,
the young man before him showed no change whatsoever.
This caused Xiang Qingyu’s anger to explode thunderously.
He suddenly reached out, wanting to teach this little junior brother of his a lesson.
The last time they fought, he had been heavily injured and couldn’t exert his full strength.
Now, in good condition, with power bursting forth from his body, his arm shot out like a wild dragon emerging from a ravine, instantly surging forward.
Streams of Gang Qi clung to his arm, making the power of this move even more immense.
However, this strike, which seemed ordinary but was actually executed with all his strength,
appeared genuinely ordinary in front of the young man.
The youth simply extended his hand, seemingly slowly but in reality very fast, and lightly patted Xiang Qingyu’s shoulder first.
An irresistible enormous force exploded instantly!
It immediately scattered all the power in Xiang Qingyu’s body.
Xiang Qingyu only felt as though this force was like a vast ocean in a storm,
and he was just a solitary boat atop this vast sea.
Irresistible!
A cold sweat broke out all over his body in an instant.
"Defend Yongan County well."
At the same time, a calm voice rang in his ears again.
And then the figure whisked past him.
Whoosh!
Xiang Qingyu instantly snapped awake.
"You!"
He spun around, wanting to look at the young figure again.
Suddenly, his gaze froze, and his pupils dilated, confronted with a scene he would never forget in all his life.
He saw rows of Demon Horses, several Demon-Slaying Colonels, and a number of Minor Generals.
They were currently escorting a procession of headless Great Demon Corpses toward Camp Geng.
These Great Demons, which still emitted the majestic presence of the Demon Saint Realm,
one... two... three... five... eight... ten... fifteen... twenty... twenty-four!
A total of twenty-four Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm!
All of them now lifeless, were placed on carts by the Demon-Slaying Colonels of Camp Geng and dragged back by Demon Horses!
At this moment, Xiang Qingyu suddenly understood something.
It turned out that the Great Demons from the Mo Xu Mountain Range that wanted to invade Qingzhou through Yongan County had not yet started to act; they had already been killed!
It turned out that the reason why the manpower in Camp Geng was so scant was not because they had been drawn away to guard the edges of Yongan County, but to drag back the corpses of these Great Demons!
It turned out that the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, staying in Camp Geng, was not there to command at the center, dispatching troops and ordering generals, but waiting for himself to come and take over!
It turned out that when he said he would return to Lin Yuan City to kill the Cangyuan Dragon Lord, it was not arrogance or empty talk!
At the thought of this, all the previous ideas capsized.
Xiang Qingyu suddenly felt somewhat ridiculous.
However, this time, he found himself ridiculous!
Thinking back to that brief exchange a moment ago, that vast and mighty strength.
Xiang Qingyu suddenly burst out laughing.
But the laughter contained much self-mockery and sarcasm.
There was also a sense of relief from shared pressure.
Outside Camp Geng,
Qin Zheng stepped out and appeared before Pei Qing.
At this moment, this Minor General of Camp Geng still looked bewildered, his expression somewhat surreal.
Twenty-four Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm!
Truly slain at the edges of the Mo Xu Mountain Range!
This group of Great Demons, capable of upsetting the situation in Qingzhou, causing turmoil in Qingzhou,
had indeed been single-handedly cut down at the edge of the Mo Xu Mountain by one man!
How strong must one be to treat such a task lightly, effortlessly slaying so many Great Demons in one fell swoop?
Even though he had personally dragged these Great Demon corpses back, he still felt a surrealness on the way.
It wasn’t until Qin Zheng appeared before him that he finally awoke, immediately bowing respectfully and saying, "Lord Qin!"
"Lord Xiang will take over my duties temporarily to defend Yongan County. Follow his commands."
Qin Zheng spoke calmly.
Pei Qing was taken aback, then quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes!"
By the time he looked up again, the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe had already vanished from his sight.
