On the main road, the travelers and knight-mages were all bewildered and terrified, as the events unfolding before them were beyond their comprehension!
Among them, the fat man was the most frightened of all: “It’s over! General Yanze’s magical avatar has encountered a divine warrior from the Celestial Realm! I’ve always heard that the Xia Clan possesses such divine warriors… but even the Xia Clan only has a few of them. How could one be here?”
“The Xia Clan will certainly suspect that demons are hiding nearby. They are now surrounding and attacking the general. Once he’s dealt with, they’ll probably scrutinize every single ordinary person around here!” The fat man was extremely uneasy.
Under normal circumstances, demons would hide among mortals. Upon detecting a ‘suspected transcendent,’ they would report it. Then a magical avatar of a fifth-stage demon would attack directly to eliminate the human transcendent. Once the kill was made, the hidden demons could swiftly escape to a densely populated area.
“Dongbo Xueying is right there, constantly using the power of heaven and earth to probe the surroundings. If I try to escape, he will immediately detect me,” the fat man was extremely anxious. “But if I don’t escape, once the Xia Clan’s demigods arrive, there are only about a hundred people around this main road. They can easily screen them all!”
Forced transcendent energy would be infused into the bodies of mortals for inspection. Each individual would be carefully checked, as transcendent energy was extremely powerful. If one was careless, the energy could easily tear a mortal apart.
But if done carefully, there would be no problem.
It would be very troublesome to search each individual in a city with a million people. But with only about a hundred people around, each could be checked in half an hour!
“If I don’t escape, I will surely die. If I do escape… there’s still hope. Dongbo Xueying is only a saint-level transcendent! He probably can’t catch up with me!” The fat man was anxious and terrified, but he immediately made up his mind, “If a demigod comes, I’m definitely doomed. I’m leaving!”
Boom!
Suddenly, the fat man, who had been among the knight-mages, transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky at an astonishing speed, even faster than Dongbo Xueying’s previous escape. Of course, Dongbo Xueying had been deliberately hiding his strength before. If he had truly unleashed his full power, his speed would have been terrifying enough to arouse General Yanze’s suspicions. Now, the fat man was desperately fleeing, fully unleashing his magical power without any concealment.
“Ahh!” All the knight-mages were greatly shocked, and the young man in golden clothes from the Gui family was also astonished.
Flying through the sky?
Who was he? A transcendent? Or a demon?
“Escaping?” Dongbo Xueying, who was still pondering General Yanze in mid-air, turned his head to look at the streak of light rapidly fleeing. The streak had already flown to the horizon, clearly trying to escape as fast as possible, hoping to get out of Dongbo Xueying’s range of detection. Then, he could hide in any village, change his appearance, and suppress his aura. The Xia Clan would never find him.
Dongbo Xueying gently flicked his finger.
Whoosh.
A thread of transcendent energy, carrying the ultimate penetrating essence, instantly pierced through the spatial barriers. It then appeared at the streak of light far away at the horizon. To escape as quickly as possible, the demon fat man had already fully particleized his body and attached himself to the power of heaven and earth.
“Rip!” The thread of transcendent energy, infused with the essence of true intent, instantly collided with the streak of light. Under the influence of the true intent’s rules and subtleties, the streak of light began to disintegrate. The most basic particles of his body started to shatter, his weapons began to break, and even his storage treasures were completely destroyed. Nothing could survive under such a true intent rule without reaching a sufficient level.
“Ahh!” The demon fat man, feeling his body instantly start to disintegrate, desperately tried to reassemble himself. His demonic face was filled with ferocity and unwillingness, “Dongbo Xueying, he…”
Whoosh.
His body completely turned to nothingness, leaving only a few treasures and special materials falling from the sky.
The vision of the mortals was limited. The demon had already fled ten miles away, and his speed was too fast for them to see clearly. They couldn’t even see the few falling materials.
“How weak,” Dongbo Xueying muttered, “I wonder if he was a third-stage or fourth-stage demon.”
In his eyes, there was no difference between a third-stage and a fourth-stage demon; both would be instantly killed.
A fifth-stage demon might still have a chance to struggle.
Only a demigod-level opponent could truly fight against him. Among fifth-stage demons, only the most elite few could engage him in battle. For example, the strongest fifth-stage demon, ‘Geirlo,’ was even stronger than Chi Qiubai. He mastered two third-grade true intents, one of which had reached the second layer. Dongbo Xueying would need to take him seriously.
After a few breaths of time.
“Rip~~~”
Suddenly, a pitch-black spatial rift appeared in the ordinary mid-air above, and three figures flew out from the rift together. They were Chi Qiubai, Chao Qing, and Sikong Yang. They all possessed top ten demigod-level strength! Of course, Chi Qiubai had only recently become a demigod, and with the outbreak of the demon war, the Xia Clan had temporarily not included him on the demigod list, also trying to conceal his information.
In reality, after mastering the divine artifact, Chi Qiubai already had the strength to be at the bottom of the demigod list! Once his ‘Spatial Cutting True Intent’ reached the third layer, he could challenge the top one or two positions!
“Xueying,” Chi Qiubai, Chao Qing, and Sikong Yang flew over.
“How was it?” Dongbo Xueying asked urgently.
“He noticed our fluctuation and stopped running,” Chi Qiubai shook his head, “We wanted to follow him from afar, tracking his trail to find his true body! But this General Yanze is indeed terrifying in strength, and his realm is also very high. I’m quite skilled in spatial arts, and I barely sensed his position. Yet he had already detected us in advance. He stopped running and counterattacked fiercely, trying to kill me! Even with the divine warrior from the Celestial Realm assisting me, I could only fight him to a draw! Without the divine warrior, I would surely be at a disadvantage.”
“This General Yanze is very strong,” Chao Qing nodded, “His magical avatar is already stronger than us. I estimate his true body… should have the strength of He Shan Zhu when he was wielding the divine artifact.”
“Yes,” Sikong Yang frowned, “We didn’t expect this deeply hidden demon general to be so powerful. His true intent is the third-grade ‘Particle True Intent,’ and I feel he should have reached the third layer!”
“Right.”
Chi Qiubai and Chao Qing were somewhat worried.
The Xia Clan had already discovered that there were a total of five demon generals! Their strengths also varied, but each had the strength of the top ten on the demigod list! The so-called top ten on the demigod list included those wielding divine artifacts!
There was only one who could rival He Shan Zhu’s level, but now there was one more!
“By the way, General Yanze suddenly attacked. Snow Hawk, you must have been discovered by some demon, so that demon reported it,” Sikong Yang looked down from above, “Has there been any high-speed escape of mortals, wild beasts, or birds in this period?”
“There was,” Dongbo Xueying smiled, “That demon feared your arrival, so he fled in panic and was killed by me.”
“Oh, what level was the demon?” Sikong Yang asked eagerly.
“Third-stage demon,” Dongbo Xueying replied.
He himself wasn’t sure whether it was a third or fourth-stage demon. Since there was no evidence, he just said it was lower! In fact, after mastering the second-grade true intent, if Dongbo Xueying felt he needed it, Master Chen would directly give him many treasures! This was the Xia Clan’s rule for cultivating geniuses. Like Chi Qiubai, after becoming a demigod, he quickly received a divine artifact. These were all directly given! Of course… if they became deities in the future, before ascending to the Celestial Realm, they must leave the divine artifacts behind.
These divine artifacts were all brought back at great cost by the ancestors of the Xia Clan, and every member of the Xia Clan was only temporarily using them! They must leave them behind before going to the Celestial Realm.
Unless they obtained the divine artifacts themselves!
“Third-stage demon?” Sikong Yang didn’t ask further but frowned and whispered, “How could you be so careless to let a demon discover your flaw? You used to be quite cautious.” He felt that Dongbo Xueying, after mastering the embryonic form of the second-grade true intent, should have been more cautious. Dongbo Xueying had never had such an incident before.
“Shame, shame,” Dongbo Xueying didn’t defend himself.
If it were in the past, facing that spell, he would never directly use the power of heaven and earth to break it.
But after mastering two second-grade true intents, he was full of confidence, so in his actions, he occasionally slightly revealed some flaws. Even if it attracted demons, or even the magical avatar of a demigod-level demon? It was still a good thing to attract them out and kill them directly!
…
Chi Qiubai, Sikong Yang, Chao Qing, and others briefly chatted with Dongbo Xueying before quickly parting ways.
Dongbo Xueying didn’t rush to tell them about mastering the second-grade true intent! Although later, when attacking the demon’s nest in the small transcendent world, he would need the help of Sikong Yang and others! But he would wait until the last moment to say it… such news should be kept as secret as possible, since it was so important! Master Chen hadn’t told them, so he couldn’t take the initiative to speak about it recklessly.
“Hu.” Dongbo Xueying descended from the sky and landed in front of the young girl.
“Uncle,” the girl was excited and emotionally complex, “I… my parents…”
“Little girl Yanhan,” Dongbo Xueying smiled, “Don’t worry. I’ve already had the Longshan Pavilion handle this matter. With their speed, they should be here very soon. As for the Gui family… they actually colluded with demons. The people from the Longshan Pavilion have already gone to the Gui family to arrest everyone and start investigating this matter.”
“Ahh.”
The young man in golden clothes and the other group of knights and mages were all stunned. The Gui family was done for! Colluding with demons?
Was this young man in green clothes actually the legendary figure from the Yangxing Province—the transcendent Dongbo Xueying? They had run into him, and he had personally given orders. They wouldn’t be able to bribe anyone from the Longshan Pavilion.
“Master Dongbo Xueying, our Gui family is innocent. We were framed. We didn’t know he was a demon,” the young man in golden clothes hastily shouted.
“He might have hidden his identity and infiltrated your Gui family. Your Gui family might be very innocent,” Dongbo Xueying looked at him, “But don’t worry. The people I’ve arranged will handle it. The Longshan Pavilion won’t act recklessly. If you’re innocent, they won’t falsely implicate you. But if you’re not innocent… you definitely won’t escape.”
“Done for!” The young man in golden clothes felt his body go limp.
Their Gui family didn’t know about the demon, but their Gui family couldn’t withstand a thorough investigation by the Longshan Pavilion. The deepest secrets of the Gui family would definitely be exposed.
Dongbo Xueying didn’t rush to leave but stayed a little longer with the poor little girl until a flying vessel from the Longshan Pavilion arrived at high speed and took over everything. Only then did Dongbo Xueying leave.
