Chapter 89: 89: No matter what happens to Qingshan, our Sky Patrol Department has to back them up.

To the southwest, fifty li away, Demonic Qi surged violently.

Leading the way, dozens of colossal Exotic Beasts carved a path forward, their black skin and armor measured three Zhang in length, and they were indeed the siege weapon known as Black Gold Rhinoceroses.

The massive bodies of these beasts stampeded forth, causing the very ground to tremble, their sharp rhino horns shattered mountains and forests as they blazed the trail.

Following closely behind, atop high-headed Horses, over a hundred Human Demons guarded a massive palanquin, strangely designed, built of giant timber, resembling a Dragon’s Nest several tens of meters across.

Beneath the palanquin, chains as thick as arms extended, shackling a multitude of oddly shaped, fiercely monstrous Demons.

Each with a Human Body and Demon Flesh, towering three Zhang tall, glaring with blood-red eyes, mouths dripping with bloody drool, ten in total.

They roared like wild beasts, their extraordinary strength carrying the huge palanquin with swift strides as the chains around their necks clinked sharply.

These individuals were Human Demons from the Feixian Sect, who had failed in their attempt to evolve by devouring superior Demon Seeds over the years; their minds were completely overtaken by the Demon Seeds, turning them into merciless killing machines, known as Demon Slaves.

But that was not all; above in the sky, two Human Demons with fleshy wings and horns on their heads, wielded peculiar Nail Chisels, "clinking" and hammering, casting silver thunders that roared into the rolling black clouds encasing the palanquin.

At that moment, within the black clouds, there seemed to be a terrifying presence, an alarming aura that whipped up violent winds, sweeping across the vast forests.

An Azure Dragon Banner flapped loudly amongst it.

"How much farther?"

At this moment, a voice rang out from within the black mist, sounding like the clashing of metal, causing one’s skin to crawl.

"Reporting to the Venerable, it’s approximately four hundred li!" a Human Demon immediately dismounted and reported with great respect.

"Speed up. We must arrive before dawn. The forward scouts sent out, what’s their status?"

"Reporting to the Venerable, there have been no reports from the scouts sent out for reconnaissance, it seems there have been no disturbances."

"Good!" The voice from within, now with a hint of growling, stirred up rolling thunders in the black clouds,

"This time, this Venerable will see how that fellow copes."

After speaking, a low whisper that others couldn’t hear emerged from the clouds, carrying a profound significance,

"A fellow who just broke through the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, haha, hasn’t even fully condensed their Tao Seed, what a god-given opportunity, perfect for stealing the Tao Fruit. Those three from the White Tiger Tribe actually think this Venerable is brainless."

The person within was none other than the Green Dragon Venerable from the Feixian Sect.

He did not travel such a great distance out of anger nor imprudence after Chen Yuan erased a Taoist Soldier out of rage, nor was it in defiance of the other three Venerables’ opposition, deploying his forces for a personal visit. He wasn’t so foolish – he had his own calculations.

Although the method of evolution through Demon Seeds of the Feixian Sect can grant immense power akin to Demons in a short time, turning from human to Demon at every step holds unspeakable dangers. Not only must one resist the erosion of Demonic Qi on the flesh, but even more dreadful is the twisting of the soul.

The Three Souls and Seven Spirits are of the utmost essence, and any mistakes mean no redemption, just like those Demon Slaves are perfect examples!

And he deeply understood, at their realm, advancing further was fraught with insurmountable difficulties.

Not to mention the dangers, just obtaining a Fifth Heavenly Gate Demon’s Seed is already incredibly difficult.

The only chance lies in the Demon Tao Fruit Conference in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

However, the Green Dragon, who had dealings with those beings, knew all too well – those Demon Heads only saw them as pawns, never giving them higher realm Demon Seeds that would allow them to break free from control.

Therefore, another path must be found, and the Green Dragon thought of stealing someone else’s Tao Seed, to use another’s Tao for his own ascension.

When it comes down to it, the Divine Sect essentially walks this path.

What difference is there between using a Demon’s Demon Seed and borrowing someone else’s Tao Seed?

Now, he had encountered one!

Naturally, he couldn’t restrain his itching desire, traversing a thousand li for a personal journey.

The Green Dragon was making calculations in his heart, yet at this time,

Screams of agonizing pain came from afar.

Then, a dazzling golden light rose from the distant horizon, becoming brighter and brighter.

Until a Great Sun arose in the sky, driving away the darkness, swiftly spreading towards us!

At the same time, in the forests ahead, several Human Demons were fleeing at high speed, howling strangely, rushing toward the main army.

But in the next breath, golden light spread over.

Under the illumination of the golden light, these Human Demons let out pitiful and woeful screams, then their figures were quickly swept up by the golden flames, their physical forms and spirits utterly incinerated.

At that moment, atop a carried palanquin, came a thunderous roar of shock and rage.

One could see thunderclouds surge skywards, thunder roaring furiously, as tumultuous storm clouds spread, enveloping his underling Human Demons within.

A towering figure stood atop the thunderclouds.

With a head full of silver hair, clad in azure scale armor, fierce eyes of a sharp green hue, his body surrounded by leaping silver lightning, accompanied by soul-stunning peals of thunder.

Azure Dragon’s eyes shone with a piercing green light, coldly gazing at the figure in green clothes coming through the air from miles away, beneath the golden Great Sun.

In an instant, heaven and earth were divided into two contrasting hues.

On one side, a myriad of golden rays, on the other, tumultuous rolling thunderclouds, distinctly separated.

"Chen Yuan!"

Azure Dragon let out a cry of shock and anger, soon followed by a piercing cold light shooting from his eyes.

"I’ve been looking for you, and yet you have the audacity to show up uninvited."

With that, he flicked his hand and a silver spear shrouded in thunder and lightning materialized in his grasp.

On the opposite side, space hummed, and beneath the Great Sun, mountain after mountain thunderously appeared, erupting from the ground.

"What in damnation! Hasn’t your Tao Seed not yet fully condensed?" Azure Dragon noticed the thirty-six mountain peaks rising as if real, his pupils shrinking.

.........

Not long after, more than fifteen hundred miles from this site, the tense and deathly quiet White Emperor City was submerged in night.

Suddenly, steeds raced forward, their urgent hoofbeats like a fierce storm, echoing through the silent streets.

"Report, our frontline positions. The White Tiger Tribe of the Demon Cult has suddenly begun to retreat."

"Report, our scouts have messaged that the Vermilion Bird Tribe anchoring the Central Army has ordered a fifty-mile withdrawal."

"......"

One after another, flying messages and orders resounded in the quarters of the Sky Patrol Department within the city.

In a grand hall of the Central Army, the Heavenly Pass Colonel presiding over the Prefecture Border, his brows tightly furrowed upon hearing each report from the Colonels.

"What exactly has happened?"

"Could it be related to the Azure Dragon from the Four Symbols Venerable of the Demon Sect?"

The person’s eyes, hidden by the dim candlelight in the hall, shone sharply, then suddenly let out a breath.

"Is there still no news from Qingshan County?"

"Reporting to the General, not yet."

"But the Demon Cult’s retreat must signal something has occurred, General, should we..."

That person’s eyes flashed, suddenly standing up,

"Pass my command, the city is to be under martial law, effective immediately. No person or message shall enter the Prefecture, especially those Noble families. I must leave the city!"

"General!" The Colonels were all astounded.

The Heavenly Pass Colonel was stationed at the Prefecture Border, a position of great importance, not one to be lightly left.

Yet that voice was resoundingly stern,

"No matter what has happened at Qingshan, we of Sky Patrol Department must support the scene!"
