ALL NOVEL Chapter 44: Premonition.
Chapter 44: Premonition.
Unorthodox factions and demonic cults right now are weaker than their former selves. However, a few years ago, it suddenly became active again. Most people don’t realize they are being controlled by someone.
Sitting on the large chair is the demonic eight-tail fox in human form. A group of humans is kneeling in front of her right now. However, their eyes are dazed, like they are in a trance.
"You can leave now." Order Shen Yi while sitting cross-legged.
"Yes, your majesty." The human stands up and walks out of the chamber.
After the human left. Suddenly, a humanoid black leopard appears from the shadows.
"I heard you had met Levi before." Asked Shen Yi.
"Yes." Boa Qi answers respectfully.
"What are your thoughts about him?"
"I only meet him once when I am hunting a human; he is smart and can use humans to his advantage." Boa Qi still remembers before he hunted down the martial artists for revenge. How Levi uses other humans to lure them into a trap.
"You can go and make sure the other demonic beast doesn’t attack them."
"Yes." The humanoid leopard disappears into the shadow.
Her problem right now is that none of the demonic beasts can be in charge of humans other than her and her son. Even if they are willing, both sides are hostile toward each other, and her mind-control ability can’t control so many people.
Shen Yi is thinking, and after a while, she grins. Although she has not yet fully trusted Levi. The Unorthodox faction and demonic cult leader are fully under her control. "Let's test him."

Qing kingdom.
If people want to go to Huli Mountain, there is a town on the Qing Kingdom border where they can resupply to continue their journey. Seven martial artists are present in the restaurant. They have finally arrived after a long and difficult journey.
"I am tired; why did you drag me out of the academy?" A skinny man lays his head on the table and complains.
"Don’t be lazy; do you think you can stay in the academy forever?" Meng Chin, after gathering enough people, accepts the mission and finally arrives at the location. According to the information, the demonic leopard was sighted on the outskirts of the town.
"Yes, I can be the teacher." Said the skinny man without lifting his head.
"Do you know how many second-class martial artists wanted to be academy teachers, and some of them even first-class martial artists?" Said a petite woman sitting beside Meng Chin.
"Ignored him." Said the brawny man. This is not the first time they have had the same conversation.
The rest of them just smile because they are already used to it.
"According to the report, the demonic leopard was last sighted in the forest near Huli Mountain, and we will join the Qing kingdom soldiers to enter." Said the brawny man.
Why are we joining the soldiers?" Asked Meng Chin in confusion, because martial artists don’t like to get involved with the government.
"It’s safer, and I know some classified information about Huli Mountain." Answered the brawny man.
"What is it?" The petite woman is curious.
Some time ago, the Martial Arts Alliance sent an expedition to wipe out the demonic beast on Huli Mountain."
"What happens after that?"
"None of them return."
"That means it’s dangerous?" The skinny, lethargic man suddenly raises his head and stares at the brawny man.
"Don’t worry, we will only be in the forest; as long as you don’t get near the Huli mountain, we are safe." Explain the brawny man without concern. All the people in this group are considered second-class martial artists, and a few of them are almost first-class.
"When are we going to the forest?" asked Meng Chin.
"Tomorrow."
While they are discussing, a handsome man wearing a white robe and holding a fan enters the restaurant. The women that saw his face blushed or were in a trance, including Meng Chin.
Shen Tu, after finishing his business, decided to have fun in the human world. Suddenly, he sees an unfamiliar group in a restaurant and walks toward them.
"Sorry for disturbing you. My name is Shen Tu, and I am a local here. Do you need anything? I can help you." Shen Tu smiled. The woman in the group is in a daze and can see a flower floating behind the handsome man.
The brawny man wants to refuse. However, suddenly, a petite woman quickly spoke. "Yes, we need some help."
After that, Shen Tu and the group began to talk. When he listens to why they came here to hunt the demonic leopard. He doesn’t show any unusual reactions and promises to be their guide.

In the forest, some trees had fallen.
Levi, in dragon turtle form, is eating a large demonic anaconda. He doesn’t know why the number of demonic beasts is increasing abruptly. Because of that, there is slight chaos around Huli Mountain. However, for him, this is his opportunity to gather evolution points.
The new demonic beast still relies on their instincts and drowns in madness and power. It's as if a crazed person suddenly got a gun, and it'll take some time for it to regain some intelligence and awareness. As a result, the most effective method is to use violence.
Gao Ming, as promised, sent people to give him information about the kingdom's movement. Right now, everything is calm except for the appearance of a demonic beast in the wild. There are even cases where domestic animals turn into demonic beasts. Because of that, all kingdoms and martial artists are on high alert.
"How is the other demonic beast?"
"We already subdued them." The nervous, demonic ape answered the question. According to the rumors, Levi likes to eat demonic beasts more than humans.
"How about the humans in the camp?"
"They have calmed down, but some tried to flee."
Levi can only sigh. He suddenly finds himself in charge of cooperating with the unorthodox faction of martial artists in the demonic beast army. However, the result is not good; both sides had strong prejudices against each other.
The easier way is to turn them into mindless undead, but this body doesn’t have any affinity with the dark element. Because of that, he can’t turn them into zombies.
At the same time, he can feel that the time for him to complete his second mission is getting nearer. Even if he fails to protect the queen, he can go into hiding and wait for the main mission to be over.
"Leader, we also spotted soldiers entering the forest." Said the demonic ape.
"Let them be; only if they get closer to the Huli mountain or the river will we take action."

Martial arts alliance headquarters
The white-haired and beardless elderly man is reading a book, and on the table, there are various books scattered. His sect is specialized in prediction and astrology. Because of that, many people will come to see him for advice. But the prediction is not 100 percent accurate, and sometimes there is divergence.
"No, something is not right." The elderly man, ever since that prediction, had been restless. Although the Martial arts alliance believed him, they still had their own interests and were not really united on the surface. He also had a feeling something obscured his prediction.
The elderly man stands up and goes to the middle of the room, where there is a table with various fortune-telling instruments. The first thing he checked in the Feng Shui Compass was whether the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters had a problem.
After ten minutes, the result is normal. The elderly man is still calm and proceeds with oracle bones, turtle shells, fortune sticks, and other instruments on the table. However, the bad prediction that he had before is gone.
"Why?" The elderly man frowns because the result is different than yesterday and the demonic beast queen is still alive, according to the spy. Ever since he got the news about the existence of the demonic beast queen, he has always had bad premonitions.
While he tries to make the prediction again, his head suddenly feels sharp. Before he can call for help, he collapses to the floor. However, before he fainted, he saw a vision. A blurry creature with nine tails and a demonic beast swarm the human town and city, killing everyone.
The servants outside heard the commotion and quickly entered the room to see the elderly man already lying on the floor.
Soon after calling for help, a physician arrived to examine the elderly man on the bed. He claims that the elderly oracle is simply exhausted and needs rest. However, the elderly man has still not regained consciousness; it’s like he is in a coma.

Wu Kingdom, Nanchang City
Qiao Shun and Meng Mei came to the Martial Arts Alliance branch today to ask about their daughter, who lives at the academy. However, the news that they got worried them.
"Husband, I have a bad feeling."
"Me too."
Senior, do you need anything else?" A middle-aged man asked politely.
"Can you give me information about my daughter's mission?"
"It will take a few days to get the latest information."
"It's fine; we can wait."
