Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Imperial Decree for 800 Li (Seeking Follow-up on Monday)

Dawn breaks the clouds.

In the west of Qingshan County, a certain mountain forest.

The roaring and shrieking of wild beasts can be heard.

"Humph—"

A black boar, over two meters long with fur like needles, exhales thick white breath from its nose; its eyes turn blood-red as it snorts and roars angrily, charging with sharp fangs and knocking into a green wolf over a meter long with a broad back.

The green wolf, its belly ripped open by the fierce fangs, lets out a miserable howl.

The boar’s momentum crashes into a tree as thick as a bowl, then it pivots its hooves, its blood-red eyes looking towards the forest ahead.

Just then.

"Awooo"

A wolf howl pierces through the forest!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Winds stir around.

Suddenly, from the forest ahead, a pack of green wolves like the one before bursts out, numbering over a dozen.

The wolves crouch low, their green fur bristling, mouths gaping and stinking, exposing their teeth and snarling at the boar.

The boar roars in anger, its hooves churning up the ground as demonic energy sprays from its nostrils, churning up dust.

Because, in the distant forest behind, the silhouette of a city could faintly be seen, nestled there.

That place is Qingshan County!

This pack of wolves had invaded from the external forest.

This was the third wave the boar had driven out.

Since last night, numerous wild beasts and spirit monsters mysteriously appeared, racing towards the mountain forest of Qingshan County.

"Bang"

The boar took the initiative to attack, its hooves furiously striking the ground shaking it slightly, charging headlong into the pack of wolves.

The wolves, seemingly fearless in the face of death, transformed into swift green shadows that howled and swarmed the boar, their claws sharp as silver hooks and their fangs dripping with stench, ferociously attacking with extreme viciousness.

Facing the encircling wolves, the boar’s tough body swung wildly, smashing into trees while flinging its fierce fangs, knocking the green wolves flying and impaling them.

This direct close-quarters combat between beasts quickly turned brutal.

Half a cup of tea later, the boar’s body was soaked with blood, and its bulky demonic body was covered with dense claw marks, with the demonic energy from its nostrils becoming increasingly difficult to sustain, growing heavier.

By now, there were only seven or eight wolves still standing, many with blood-stained fur, but still encircling and growling low at the boar.

At that moment, another wolf howl came from the forest.

The pack launched a new round of attack, using their speed and coordination to gradually wear down the boar’s onslaught.

Until finally, the boar could no longer charge and was swarmed by the pack, crawling all over it, tearing at the boar’s body.

The boar let out a painful roar from its throat, then suddenly threw its head back with a snort, its stiff bristles suddenly exploding, revealing needle-like cold gleams.

Then,

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Sounds of slicing through air.

These bristles, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, detached from the boar’s body and shot violently in all directions.

"Awooo"

The wolves originally tearing at and encircling it were suddenly hit by these finger-length, steel-like bristles, turning into porcupines amidst miserable cries, blasted backwards, crashing to the ground, instantly perishing.

At this moment, the boar too was in a miserable state, its body bare of bristles, its flesh turned inside out, unable to even stand steadily on its hooves.

Just then, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the forest.

A surge of green wind swept in.

A sound of a whip cracking through the air erupted.

The next second, the boar’s massive body was whipped up and tumbled ten meters, crashing resonantly into the trees, burying it underneath.

In its place, a giant dark green wolf nearly ten zhang tall appeared, the wolf king among the pack, a demon beast.

This wolf, with pulsating green demonic energy, stared with wild and ferocious eyes towards where the trees collapsed.

It seemed like the boar had lost its breath.

But at that moment, the boar, smitten to near death by the giant wolf’s iron tail, suddenly felt a jolt in its pig brain, its vision darkened, and its body became light.

Then, it swiftly spun around, transforming into a stout and honest-looking Great Han, eight chi tall with dense fur, sporting a big belly and with two pig nostrils on its face and a pair of fan-like pig ears on either side.

The Pig Demon touched its head, touched its body, looking perplexed with pig snorts coming from its throat.

Looking at where I find myself, it’s as if I’m amidst clouds and mist.

And at this moment, waves of clouds are churning all around.

Following that, bizarre shapes and figures appear one after another.

There’s a Great Han wearing a bear-skin coat, his muscles bulging.

And, an elder with cat ears, revealing a woman’s slender figure which is Cat Lady.

...

Judging from each familiar aura, they are unmistakably all Contracted Demons under Chen Yuan’s command.

"Everyone" has no idea what has happened, and a chatter rises.

"Meow"

"Chirp chirp"

"Woo woo"

"....."

Various beastly roars and birdsongs.

Right then, above the clouds, a golden light breaks through the mist.

A magnificent Great Sun rises amidst the mist.

Following that,

"Boom boom"

The ground shakes and the space trembles with a roar.

One by one, massive mountains rise from the ground, stretching out endlessly.

Sun shines on the Golden Mountain, an awe-inspiring sight.

And in the midst of the mountains, under the suspended Great Sun, a figure bathed in golden light stands atop the summit.

Seeing this, the group of demons is greatly shaken in spirit and quickly kneels in worship.

"Great.....one..."

They have followed this great one for half a year, yet never have they been as submissive and reverent as they are today.

At this moment, on top of the summit, Chen Yuan sees his Contracted Demons, his eyes flickering.

The Evil Dragon, leading the Demon Cult, has caused slaughter all the way, forcing the common people to flee. Even the Demons and Ghosts in these vast mountains have fled toward Qingshan County.

This was something he had overlooked, and did not anticipate.

Fortunately, his Contracted Demons managed to stop waves of wild spirits and monsters.

Now, he has spent over a hundred points of Luck to master one of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the Marriage Dream Technique, and summoned each of them.

His eyes shine with a silver glow as he scans the group of demons below; his voice thunders like a great bell, causing the very space to boom in response.

"You have followed me, I, in cutting through mountains and destroying temples for six months. Though there’s no significant feat, you’ve indeed endured hardship."

"Now that the merit is completed, I hereby grant you, by Imperial Decree, Eight Hundred Miles Langdang Mountain and the human incense offerings."

With these words,

A thunderous sound explodes.

Below the clouds, a black Token taller than the mountains soars into the sky.

It bears the image of landscapes, birds, beasts, insects, and fish, which seems alive, spinning on it.

Following that, streams of golden light shoot out from the Banshan Tiger Talisman, quickly enveloping the bodies of a dozen Contracted Demons.

The golden light infuses into these Contracted Demons, causing them to close their eyes while their demonic features transform into those of living humans, emanating a sacred and serene aura.

After a while, these Contracted Demons open their eyes, each of them overwhelmed with emotion.

At this moment, they have but one thought,

"To hear the Dao in the morning is to die content in the evening!"

"The great one allows us to achieve the Dao today, I can immediately die for the great one!"

Instantly, they all speak human language, expressing their gratitude and reverence.

As the Imperial Decree ends, Chen Yuan’s voice suddenly booms.

"All of you, listen to my command!"

The group of demons immediately quiets down and straightens up.

"From today, recruit eight hundred miles!"

"For me, patrol Langdang Mountain."

"Report immediately here upon any disturbance!"
