Chapter 127: 123: I wish I could be tied to an adult’s leg (please subscribe)

Outside the border, once a land of a thousand miles of splendor, thereafter ravaged by the Demon Cult, bones exposed in wild fields, silent without chickens clucking.

Now, the call to return home meanders in this scar-laden land, amid the mountains, gradually reviving this lifeless world.

On the Nu River, hundreds of boats compete against the current, amidst dense sails, the call to return home sounds, heading upstream towards afar.

On the mountain paths, throngs of people like woven threads, bamboo sticks and straw shoes in hand, the people listen to the distant call over the river, singing vibrant mountain songs, joining the long procession, eagerly stepping on the path home.

As the sky gradually darkens, the sun sets between the mountains.

Far off, two thousand miles away in Qingshan County, and dozens of miles further in the mountain forests, roaring resounds.

Visible, several streaks of light dazzling in the night sky, headed towards the roaring sky.

There, originally a blood-red light column, from a length of several meters before, now just about a foot wide.

That pathway was rapidly closing, Lian Nichang, Fang Qingzhu, Gongsun Yang, including the Contracted Demon under Chen Yuan, all exerting their utmost effort, attempting to prevent the passage from disappearing.

However, their attacks, just like trying to shake a giant tree by hitting it with a pebble, could not stop it at all, a few breaths later, the passageway completely vanished, the light column in the sky also buzzed once, disappearing without a trace.

Lian Nichang looked anxiously at Fang Qingzhu and Gongsun Yang, her voice slightly hurried,

"Older brother has not come out yet!"

Beside her, a rain of pink petals spirals back from the sky, entering Fang Qingzhu’s body.

This woman, her eyes empty above, looked again at her side at two large, grotesque demon corpses, like small hills, their imposing aura causing her light purple pupils to flicker, she spoke:

"With Brother Chen’s profound Divine Skills, even though that place is dangerous, he should be able to escape. Maybe something detained him, and he couldn’t make it back in time."

Her words, of course, were meant to console.

In fact, seeing Chen Yuan kill two Heavenly Pass Demons from that place in a short time, she could guess that the place the passageway leads to is likely fraught with peril.

After all, Heavenly Pass Demons are hard to encounter outside, let alone that Chen Yuan consecutively slew two from within.

Hoping nothing happened to Brother Chen, Fang Qingzhu frowned, thinking so.

However, on the other side, standing among a group battling a Contracted Demon, Storyteller Gongsun Yang, his eyes and brows somewhat peculiar, seeing the two women somewhat anxious, couldn’t help but step forward, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Ladies, there’s something I’m not sure if I should speak of."

"Actually, you don’t need to worry, I can sense that the gentleman hasn’t met with misfortune, and... well, let me just say, the gentleman’s aura is actually growing stronger."

Gongsun Yang and Chen Yuan are connected through a volume of the "Demon Suppression Chronicles", he could through the Spirit Body vaguely sense some faint aura.

Hearing this, among them Lian Nichang, who had past interactions with this man, knew of Gongsun Yang’s origins,

"Mr. Gongsun, what do you mean by that?"

Gongsun Yang stroked his beard, was about to explain the connection,

when from the direction of Qingshan County, a distant call came.

"Villagers..."

"Proclaim from White Emperor City... the command of the Colonel"

"The Demon Cult... has been eliminated."

"Return home!"

"Return home!"

This voice echoed in the night sky, seemingly using some kind of Divine Skills, becoming clearer and clearer.

Several people, upon hearing the content of the call, showed astonishment.

Light rapidly flickered in Lian Nichang’s eyes, her body the first to move, she sped towards the direction of Qingshan County.

Shortly after, they leaped tens of miles and appeared atop the city walls of Qingshan County, unable to help looking towards the sky above the city.

There, a giant three-to-four zhang tall silver eagle gleaming brilliantly with silver light, upon it stood an Armored Soldier clad in black armor, burly in build, with a chilly aura.

This person was from White Emperor City, a Mountain Patrol Military Officer, who set out from the Prefecture in the early morning, traveling a thousand miles, rushing along the way, spreading the command by flying past Qingshan County, couldn’t help stopping by.

This Mountain Patrol Military Officer stood on the Sky Shrieking Falcon, overlooking the city below, his eyes flashing with a bit of awe, was this the place where Ninth Mountain’s Colonel began his rise.

He had passed along his way, seeing nothing but devastation, almost every city, big or small, turned into ghost towns, only this Qingshan County was bustling with life.

At this moment, upon hearing the noise, from all four corners of the county, crowds emerged tumultuously from thousands of households, appearing in the streets and alleys, with noise suddenly everywhere.

"White Emperor City?"

"I didn’t hear clearly, what about returning home? Can we go back now?"

"It seems like the Demon Cult has been dealt with, look, such a big eagle in the sky, there’s someone."

The townsfolk all looked up towards the sky.

And above, the Mountain Patrol Military Officer, cleared his throat, his gaze intense, laughed heartily:

"Fellow villagers,"

"Proclaiming the order of the Colonel from White Emperor City,"

"Last night, the Demon Cult launched a major attack on White Emperor City, Ninth Mountain’s Colonel Chen Yuan, slaying so many that the Demon Cult’s blood flowed like rivers, the Demon Cult has been eradicated, those who sought refuge here, can now return home."

As these words fell, the entirety of Qingshan County instantly erupted.

Cheers shook the heavens, seemingly wanting to overturn the entire night sky.

The Demon Cult has been eradicated.

Many people can now return home.

After so many days of suppression, the difficult days met with complete release.

People on the streets rejoiced, hugging, crying with happiness, rushing to share the news.

In a moment, the whole county was immersed in a sea of cheers.

Above, the Mountain Patrol Military Officer, looking at the scene below, couldn’t help but smile, truly wonderful.

However, he didn’t have extra time to stay, he had to quickly bring the news to the next place.

Thinking this, the Silver Giant Falcon beneath his feet shrieked, heading towards the east.
