As for which Demon Venerable made the move, given the current turmoil in Qingzhou, itâs impossible to find out which Demon Venerable acted. After you go over, itâs best to first gather the scattered experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau to understand the situation..."
Less than half an hour later, a brilliant golden figure appeared above Tongzhou City, directly landing at the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The messenger turned out to be a Martial Venerable powerhouse.
Wei Fan glanced at the opponent, the panel didnât react at all, while Pei Shinan and Long Jianying went over, the person handed a document and a Generalâs Waist Token to Long Jianying.
After about a cup of teaâs time, the person broke through the air and left.
"Letâs go!"
Once that person left, Wei Fan, Long Jianying, and Ji Qingyue broke through the air, heading towards Qingzhou.
Qingzhou and Tongzhou are separated by two states. However, this distance for a Martial Venerable powerhouse, with full flight, takes just over an hour, and even a Divine Realm Martial Sect can arrive within a few hours.
As they flew along the way, the atmosphere in the two states was noticeably tense. When they passed over the cities, there were experts using their power of heart and spirit to scan, only retracting it when discovering they werenât Demon Fiends.
More than half an hour later, before entering Qingzhou, they found masses of fleeing people entering Liangzhou, which borders Qingzhou, forming a queue stretching tens of kilometers along the official road.
"I am Long Jianying, the new General of the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Bureau. Fellow villagers, you donât need to flee anymore. I will eradicate the demon plague and provide everyone with a safe home."
Long Jianying descended and revealed his identity.
He himself wasnât very confident, but with Wei Fan accompanying him, there was a significant chance of resolving Qingzhouâs issues.
Some believed his words and started to turn back, but more continued to flee.
After all, the name Long Jianying wasnât known to most ordinary people; they hadnât heard of it at all.
Seeing this, Long Jianying didnât continue to speak further. Once the demon plague in Qingzhou was resolved, the fleeing people would naturally return.
The three continued flying, soon arriving in Qingzhou where nine out of ten households were empty.
In fact, Demon Fiends hadnât spread throughout Qingzhou; it was only the news of General Guan Xiongâs murder that spread, causing the people to flee en masse since no one wanted to become the Demon Fiendsâ food.
Moreover, with half a day having passed and there being no sign of any court experts, panic ensued.
As Long Jianying traveled, whenever he encountered fleeing groups, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he revealed himself to state his identity.
Along the way, quite a few people turned back.
In addition to those turning back, some fleeing Demon Suppression Bureau soldiers were gathered as well.
...
Qingzhou City stood in ruins, with collapsed gates blasted apart, and the mighty power protecting the city long gone, countless Demon Fiends coming in and out.
The streets were deserted, many places stained red with blood, emanating a foul stench.
Some Demon Fiends revealed their true forms, sitting on rooftops gnawing on arms, while others roamed the streets searching for those who hadnât managed to escape.
Itâs hard to imagine that just a day ago, millions of the Human Race lived here, yet within a day, it has almost become an empty city.
Some trapped people hid inside rooms, peering through door cracks towards the distant Demon Suppression Bureau, where former General Guan Xiongâs head was hung at the Bureauâs entrance, eyes wide open.
Further inside, the Demon Suppression Bureauâs training ground had a massive mountain of corpses piled up, with a giant centipede, a hundred meters long, on top of the corpse mountain, extracting and devouring brains.
"I havenât eaten this well in hundreds of years!"
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerable would consume a corpse and then Demon Fiends would come forward to carry it away and share the rest.
For this Demon Venerable, eating regular martial artists didnât provide much benefit; after draining their favored brain juice, it was better to feed his subordinates.
"I wish I could suck on Guan Xiongâs brain juice, but alas, Golden Scale Demon Venerable wonât allow it, saying itâs to intimidate the Human Race."
He glanced reluctantly at Guan Xiongâs head hanging in the distance, drooling, but dared not defy Golden Scale Demon Venerableâs orders.
The execution of Guan Xiong was by Golden Scale Demon Venerable.
If he dared disobey Golden Scale Demon Venerable, his head would be twisted off.
"Demon Venerable, shouldnât we leave? If experts from the courtâs Great Victory Dynasty arrive, it wonât be good!"
The Yellow Dog Demon Monarch, after swallowing a Celestial Martial Artist, couldnât help but ask.
It would have been fine to break through Qingzhou City, but in provoking the Human Race like this, eating the bodies of the fallen Demon Suppression Bureau soldiers slowly, wasnât he afraid of attracting court experts?
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerable glanced at the Demon Monarch subordinate and said, "Have you seen any court experts come out to fight us over the years? The court cherishes their own lives; as long as itâs not fought to the Capital City, itâs others who fight and die for them."
He didnât tell his subordinates that this was to provoke Wei Fan.
The courtâs Great Victory Dynasty probably wouldnât hand over Pei Shinan and Wei Fan, but as long as they continued to wreak havoc in Qingzhou, with Wei Fanâs nature, he wouldnât hide like a turtle.
If Wei Fan was still in Tongzhou without leaving, heâd likely know the news that Qingzhou was broken because of his destruction of the Black Lake lineage, and should be arriving soon.
"You beasts, the Human Race will eventually exterminate you!"
Guan Sheng, hair disheveled, eyes red, was pinned to a large tree by a spear.
He was the commander of the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Bureau and also General Guan Xiongâs nephew. Qingzhou was broken, yet these Demon Fiends hadnât killed him; they kept him to communicate with the Capital Cityâs Demon Suppression Bureau.
He knew these Demon Fiends had malicious intentions but had to report the situation.
But it has been a long time, and no experts from the Capital City have been dispatched; not even the Guardians have appeared, as if no one cares about Qingzhouâs life or death.
"Exterminate us? You wonât see that day. Enough talking, tell the Capital Cityâs Demon Suppression Bureau now. If Wei Fan and Pei Shinan arenât seen by nightfall, all Demon Fiends from Wushan Mountain will mobilize. How many people will die then; even I donât know!"
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerable sucked up another brain, showing a satisfied expression.
Rumor has it that Wei Fan is not only a Supreme Medicine of Horizontal Cultivation of Innate but also cultivated a rare Six-Colored Golden Body through the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill released by the fool Black Lake Jiao Venerable.
If he could suck such brains, it would certainly be delicious.
Guan Sheng showed despair, knowing this wasnât just a threat; these Demon Fiends would truly do it.
As he was about to use the Waist Token to communicate with the Capital City, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a white light streaking across the sky, with essence qi constantly converging toward the white light.
"Who is it!"
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerable shouted, almost simultaneously with Guan Sheng, noticing the white light flying from the sky and desperately trying to dodge.
Because it realized that the white lightâs target was itself.
Yet the white light was too fast, almost in an instant, it blasted down from the sky, with terrifying might hitting him.
Originally, the white light appeared as thin as a finger from afar, but now it was wider than a barrel, crossing several miles in an instant.
The horrifying white light directly shattered the corpse mountain beneath, blasting off half of his body.
Boom...
The entire Demon Suppression Bureau shook, countless houses collapsed, the earth cracked.
The training ground at the center was instantly reduced to powder within a radius of dozens of feet, sweeping up hundreds of meters high dust clouds.
The Yellow Dog Demon Monarch didnât even manage to scream before disappearing.
Amidst the dragon-like dust, the Thousand-legged Demon Venerable let out a fierce howl, with his hundred-meter-long body reduced to less than ten meters.
If it hadnât reacted quickly in that instant, even those ten meters wouldnât be preserved.
Under that white light, his Golden Body seemed as fragile as tofu, without any resistance.
"Golden Scale Demon Venerable, save me!"
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerable screamed, swiftly fleeing to one side.
"You wanted to see me so badly, why are you running now that Iâve arrived?"
A thunderous voice echoed from the sky, yet no figure could be seen.
The Thousand-legged Demon Venerableâs pupils contracted, catching another glimpse of white light.
"An arrow?"
This time, he clearly saw it; it wasnât a mere white light but a lightning-fast arrow.
Just as he recognized the arrow, the terrifying energy-formed arrow had already hit, exploding violently upon impact.
