Chapter 81 - Yin Corpse Sect
Black Fiend cursed Isla Su a million times in his heart.
He never imagined that after being clever all his life, he would fall into the hands of this demoness, bewitched by a drop of the demon emperor's blood.
Now, it was too late to say anything. With the Heart Devouring Gu inside him, if he wanted to live, he had to obediently follow Isla Su's orders.
Black Fiend sent out all the wolf demons in his clan. Thousands of wolf demons surged out of the Qingyuan Mountains, beginning a frenzied slaughter.
Black Fiend also sought out Mason Wei and Nolan Dan.
Victor Cui, the Prefecture Commander of Ding Prefecture, led three thousand troops to Suiyuan County.
"Commander, there are hundreds of wolf demons attacking the villages ahead," a scout reported urgently.
"Gao Yong, take five hundred men and wipe out those wolf demons," Victor Cui ordered immediately.
"Yes, Commander," Gao Yong responded, leading five hundred men on horseback.
When they reached the village, they saw hundreds of wolf demons the size of water buffaloes, exuding demonic qi, attacking the village and tearing apart the common people.
"Help!"
"Don't come near, don't come near!"
"Mom, mom, save me."
"Wife, run!"
"Ah..."
"Don't eat me."
The entire village was a scene of hell, filled with screams and pleas for mercy.
Seeing this, Gao Yong's anger flared up instantly.
"Kill!"
"Annihilate these damn wolf demons."
These wolf demons were all minor demons, with strength equivalent to human Martial Disciples to Martial Masters.
Gao Yong, being a Colonel in the Postnatal Realm, naturally had no fear. Leading his soldiers, they charged, their military iron-blooded aura clashing with the demonic qi in the air.
The wolf demons howled upon seeing the human army.
"Awooo..."
All the wolf demons turned to charge at Gao Yong and his men, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, blood-red.
The demonized black wolves had fur as tough as iron, moved as swiftly as the wind, and possessed immense strength.
After exterminating this group of wolf demons, only about a hundred of Gao Yong's men were still alive.
The other four hundred soldiers had all perished, and this was just a small group of a hundred minor demons.
When Victor Cui arrived and saw the casualties among his men, he couldn't help but frown.
They had just entered the territory of Suiyuan County and already encountered a group of a hundred wolf demons. Could it be that all the wolf demons in the Qingyuan Mountains had gone berserk and invaded Suiyuan County?
If that were the case, the situation was dire.
On the other side, the nine Silver Medal Demon Slayers under Mason Wei were also in a state of shock.
"Damn it, what's going on? Has the black wolf demon clan gone completely berserk? Are they not afraid of our human experts wiping out the Qingyuan Mountains?" one of the Silver Medals said angrily.
At this moment, they were surrounded by hundreds of wolf demons, with a dozen or so wolf demons equivalent to the Postnatal Realm leading the charge, continuously attacking them.
In the Qingyuan Mountains, Mason Wei and Nolan Dan were desperately fleeing.
Black Fiend had broken through to the demon king realm, completely beyond their ability to contend with.
Nolan Dan's expertise was in pill refining, but he was only slightly proficient in combat.
And Mason Wei, a Gold Medal Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Division, clearly did not have the ability to fight across realms.
The two of them combined could barely fend off Black Fiend's attacks.
"What's going on? How did this wolf demon suddenly break through to the demon king realm?" Mason Wei felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his mind.
Just a few days ago, this wolf demon was only a peak great demon. How did it suddenly break through to a level equivalent to a Grandmaster?
"How would I know?" Nolan Dan, his white robe stained with blood, used his spells to flee continuously.
Both of them were injured by Black Fiend's attacks.
Only by using all their means were they able to escape from the Qingyuan Mountains.
After escaping the Qingyuan Mountains, Black Fiend did not continue to pursue them.
Watching their retreating figures, Black Fiend's face was dark.
"Damn it, I didn't expect these two humans to have so many tricks up their sleeves, actually managing to escape from me."
To him, this was a humiliation. A dignified demon king couldn't capture two humans.
After escaping the Qingyuan Mountains, Mason Wei looked solemnly at the towering Qingyuan Mountains. This was definitely not good news.
"The wolf demon in the Qingyuan Mountains has broken through to the demon king realm. This is a disaster," Mason Wei said heavily.
He had to report this to the Demon Slayer Division, so they could send experts to kill this wolf demon. They absolutely couldn't let this wolf demon grow stronger and wreak havoc.
"Alas, my skills are limited. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken this task," Nolan Dan sighed, taking a deep swig of wine.
He hadn't caught the fox demon and had almost died at the hands of the wolf demon. Although he knew some combat skills, he was better at pill refining.
Mason Wei used a special communication method to quickly send a message to the Demon Slayer Division.
The appearance of a demon king was no small matter.
......
Victor Cui, the Prefecture Commander of Ding Prefecture, was blocked by a great demon equivalent to the Prenatal Realm, leading two thousand wolf demons.
Looking at the wolf demon army ahead, Victor Cui's expression was grave. If a battle broke out, his three thousand men might not even have one in ten survive.
These were all his trained subordinates. Victor Cui didn't want to lose his forces.
"Commander, what should we do?"
"Retreat from Suiyuan County and request reinforcements from above. We can't handle this. The wolf demons of the Qingyuan Mountains have fully invaded," Victor Cui decisively ordered, without any hesitation.
A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. As a dignified Prefecture Commander and a direct descendant of the Cui family of Ding Prefecture, did they expect him to risk his life against the demons?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Victor Cui led his men out of Suiyuan County.
Mason Wei and others also escaped. Suiyuan County was occupied by the black wolf demon clan, and over a hundred thousand common people became demon food.
This news caused an uproar throughout Ding Prefecture.
An entire county's population had become demon food.
When Governor Feng Zhili of Ding Prefecture heard the news, he fainted on the spot.
His career as a governor was over. He had thought it was just a small demon disturbance and had sent Victor Cui to resolve it.
Unexpectedly, instead of solving the demon problem, it had turned into such a disaster.
The aristocratic families of Ding Prefecture, upon hearing the news, all went on high alert.
The news reached Luo Capital, and the Empress was furious, ordering the Demon Slayer Division to resolve the matter swiftly.
The Demon Slayer Division dispatched several Grandmaster experts to Ding Prefecture to deal with the demon disaster.
When Magistrate Chen heard the news, he was shocked and hurried to find Oliver Sheng.
"Something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened," Magistrate Chen ran frantically to the barracks to find Oliver Sheng.
"What is it? Why are you in such a panic? You're a grown man, even if the Barbarian army attacks, I'm still here," Oliver Sheng said, looking at the flustered Magistrate Chen, who seemed as if he was being chased by a ghost.
"General Sheng, something terrible has happened. The neighboring Suiyuan County has been massacred by the demons," Magistrate Chen said, his face pale.
"What? The demons massacred an entire county?" Oliver Sheng was instantly shocked.
"Where did these demons come from?" Oliver Sheng felt that things were getting serious.
This was the northwest border of Great Wei. Shouldn't the demons be in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the southwest?
"It's the demons from the Qingyuan Mountains. The Qingyuan Mountains are an extension of the Great True Ancient Buddha Plateau, and there's a black wolf demon clan there. The king of the black wolf demons has broken through to the demon king realm, equivalent to a Grandmaster martial artist."
"The demon king led the wolf demons down the mountain and destroyed Suiyuan County," Magistrate Chen explained quickly.
Suiyuan County was their neighboring county. If the demon king led the demon army to attack, River West County would be the next Suiyuan County. How could Magistrate Chen not be panicked?
Oliver Sheng didn't know what to say. The border was simply fraught with dangers.
To the north were the Barbarians and Huns, and now to the west, there were demons.
"I know you're panicked, but don't panic," Oliver Sheng said.
Magistrate Chen almost died of anger. "At a time like this, General Sheng, you're still saying such nonsense."
"What else can we do? If the demons attack, can you take the entire county's population and run?" Oliver Sheng looked at Magistrate Chen.
Besides, a mere demon king, if it dared to come, he would kill it and taste its meat.
A demon king equivalent to a Grandmaster was nothing to Oliver Sheng.
"Hurry and request reinforcements from General Yang at Peace Pass. Only General Yang is closest to us," Magistrate Chen said urgently.
"Alright, alright, don't panic. The wolf demons won't come. Don't scare yourself," Oliver Sheng said.
"If you won't write for reinforcements, I'll do it myself," Magistrate Chen said in a panic, about to write the request himself.
"Alright, alright, do you think General Yang can leave Peace Pass?" Oliver Sheng looked at the anxious Magistrate Chen. He really wanted to say that a mere demon king was something he could handle.
Magistrate Chen looked disappointed. Indeed, General Calvin Yang couldn't leave Peace Pass.
......
The black wolf demon clan slaughtered a hundred thousand people in Suiyuan County. The wolf demons took the blood food and retreated back into the Qingyuan Mountains.
Deep in the Qingyuan Mountains.
Inside a stone cave, a blood pool filled with countless corpses and blood.
Above the blood pool, a flower was absorbing the essence of the blood. The flower was still in bud form, not yet in full bloom.
The blood-red bud emitted a strange glow.
Isla Su, dressed in red, stared coldly at the flower.
Black Fiend stood behind her, looking like a loyal guard.
A man in black stood beside Isla Su.
The man in black continuously cast blood-colored runes into the blood pool.
In the blood pool, three corpses emitted overwhelming fiendish energy. The skin of the three corpses was changing from silver to gold.
These were three Silver Armored Corpses. If there were any Taoist sect members present, they would recognize that these three Silver Armored Corpses were transforming into Gold Armored Corpses.
Once the transformation was complete, they would be equivalent to three powerful human Grandmasters.
The man in black was naturally from the Yin Corpse Sect, using the sect's secret method to refine Gold Armored Corpses.
"Parker Yin, when will your three Gold Armored Corpses be ready?" Isla Su asked coldly, without a trace of emotion.
"Soon, soon, hehe!" Parker Yin's voice sounded like an old corpse crawling out of a coffin, eerie and hoarse, enough to scare the neighbor's children.
"The Great Wei Demon Slayer Division and the Great Wei army won't give you much time," Isla Su said indifferently.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time. Once my three Gold Armored Corpses are ready, even six ordinary Grandmasters won't be a match.
To deal with a wolf demon, how many Grandmasters do you think Great Wei will send? At most three. By then, I might even have three more Grandmaster corpses to refine," Parker Yin said sinisterly, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
Black Fiend looked at the three transforming corpses in the blood pool, his eyelids twitching. He could feel the dangerous aura emanating from them.
He glanced at Isla Su and Parker Yin, wondering when the two had started plotting together.
