Chapter 209: Chapter 188: The Entire Southeast of Shu is in Chaos (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"What?"

"The Six Mountain Demon Tribe has mobilized a large force?"

The local colonel suddenly stood up, his face tensing as he barked.

Several others instinctively thought this, their gazes sharpening and converging on the Mountain Patrol Military Officer,

The Mountain Patrol Military Officer, under the intense scrutiny of several Heavenly Pass’s powerful men, tensed up but shook his head, his expression somewhat incredulous: "General, they are not heading towards Chishui Prefecture, but eastward."

Upon hearing this, Third Mountain Changshan Colonel’s eyelids twitched, and he finally lost his patience, suddenly rose to his feet looking distressed,

"Guang’an Prefecture!"

Saying this, he took a few steps forward, his tiger eyes darkened, looking at the Mountain Patrol Military Officer, "Do your Contracted Demons know any more detailed information?"

"Forgive me, my lord, the abilities of my Contracted Demons are limited; they could only find out this much," replied the Mountain Patrol Military Officer truthfully.

Changshan did not say anything and quickly walked to the outside of the hall.

At that moment, a Leading Military Officer from Third Mountain was waiting outside the hall, who promptly saluted, "General!"

Changshan immediately ordered, "Issue my command, prepare troops from five routes, and proceed to Guang’an Prefecture immediately, also dispatch Scouts to quickly probe the movements of the demons outside the border and confirm the intelligence."

"Yes!" The Leading Military Officer hastened away, and soon, in the distance, sharp whistles sounded.

After speaking, Changshan turned to look at the people sitting and then addressed the local colonel, "Colonel Wei, the situation is urgent, we still do not know what’s happening in Guang’an Prefecture, act according to the situation, for safety sake, add two companions, the remaining three will need to explore the situation with me promptly to respond in time."

After finishing, Changshan surveyed left and right, "It troubles you all, who wishes to join me on this venture."

"I will go," stated a cold beautiful woman from Su Nu Sword Sect.

"Old monk will also join," a monk from Golden Cicada Temple folded his hands.

"......."

Shortly after, at Chishui Prefecture’s Sky Patrol Department, four beams of light soared into the sky, then noise and long horse cries followed, four troops from Third Mountain, thousands strong, departed eastward from Chishui Prefecture quickly heading southeast.

Half an hour later, four figures appeared high in the sky, Third Mountain Changshan Colonel along with Su Nu Sword Sect and three more from Heavenly Pass, frowning as they looked downward.

By then, they were over six hundred miles east of Qingshui County, seeing below in the mountains and forests, demonic energy scattered about, various grotesque-looking little demons called Ear Rats, oozing stench, surged through the mountains and ridges, numbering in the thousands within the sight.

They are moving southeast!

As if they received some orders!

"Let’s go!"

Changshan suppressed his urge to strike down these beasts, shouting loudly.

Then, stepping on beams of light, they continued on their way.

The other three from the Sect Heavenly Pass, having confirmed the intelligence, their expressions turned grim, and they followed closely.

As time passed by, the party of four encountered more demon groups along the way.

Lu Shu, Green Sparrow, Night Fox...

All were rushing southeast.

The mood of the four gradually became heavier.

Apparently, something significant had happened in the direction of Guang’an Prefecture, alarming even the Demon Clans thousand miles away.

They didn’t stop, following the direction the demon groups were rushing toward, traveling from the near-dusk sky until night fell.

Finally, under the night sky, they saw a bizarre, silent ghost city

Under the eerie nighttime silence, the whole county enshrouded in deathly stillness.

Beneath the ghastly night, the city was deserted, only the stench of blood carried by the night breeze, along with scattered corpses and pieces of flesh, White Bone.

There were also several shattered white silken cocoons.

Changshan and others landed, searched around, and found many human skeletons in those cocoons, their hearts involuntarily clenched.

But it was also apparent that the demons inside had been thoroughly crushed.

Soon, the four gathered together, their expressions unable to hide their shock and suspicion.

"This place seems to have undergone a great battle. Demons devouring the Human Clan have been slain. I sensed the remnants of Sword Qi, but this is definitely not the work of one person," the beautiful matron from the Su Nu Sword Sect spoke, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Is this Lu Shu of the Six Mountains, similar to other county towns, also occupied by demons? Did someone attack the city?"

"The old monk did not see any traces of a large-scale siege."

Several members of the Sect Heavenly Pass each expressed their opinions.

Third Mountain Changshan Colonel’s face revealed deep contemplation, "This is Zhangtian County of Weiyuan Prefecture. Heading directly east for nearly eight hundred li is Guang’an Prefecture, but along the way, the direction the demons rushed to is southeast, towards Weiyuan Prefecture, which has fallen into a Demon Country. Where exactly is the problem?"

For a moment, everyone was filled with uncertainty.

After a few moments, a night breeze blew over from the west.

Almost simultaneously, their ears twitched and their eyes flashed as they hushed each other.

"There’s someone!"

Then, the four soared into the air and flew towards the west. They had not flown far when they saw dense shadows on the official road in the distance.

They were raggedly dressed people, thin and pale, supporting each other as they hurried along.

Looking into the distance, the road stretched for several li.

Changshan and the others swiftly advanced to the front, transforming into streaks of light that plummeted to stand before the crowd.

The front of the crowd saw the movement and became agitated.

Then, Three Mountains Colonel Changshan stepped forward from the streak of light, clad in armor, his tiger-like eyes flashing, he spoke in a muffled voice:

"I am the Mountain Cutting Army’s Colonel, I want to ask what exactly happened to you all?"

As soon as the crowd heard "Mountain Cutting Army," they immediately knelt down, and then a babble of voices arose:

"My lord, we escaped from Gulan County!"

"There were five Great Divine Ability Users of our Human Clan, they unleashed their mighty powers, slaughtered the demons in the city, and saved us, we almost died in that city... sob sob"

"They told us to flee towards Guang’an Prefecture!"

"..."

From the noisy voices, Changshan discerned some useful information, faintly guessing something, his eyes blazing, he quickly asked, "Those five, what do they look like, do you know?"

"I know, I know."

"At that time, a huge spear flew into the city, the momentum shook the sky, and then a Golden-armored Giant..."

Upon hearing this, Changshan instantly confirmed.

"It’s the Nine Colonels!"

The other three, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but have their gazes jolt.

Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!

The remaining four, they already had a guess in their hearts, likely the four comrades who came to support the Ninth Mountain.

Finally, they asked the question they most wanted to ask,

"Where did they go?"

The people responded.

"The five lords headed towards the west!"

Hearing this, Changshan and the others trembled inside. Combining what they saw and heard along the way, a ludicrous thought arose, followed by an involuntary sharp intake of breath.

Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, along with four Sect Heavenly Pass members, armed alone, headed westward into the heart of the Demon territory, throwing two prefectures and three regions into chaos!

A surge of emotion washed over them.

"Let’s go!"

With a loud shout,

The four rode the wind, charging towards the west!
