CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 379: JINGUAN SHAKEN! (4K+ REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKET)
It is known that the flesh and blood of Heavenly Barrier Demons are cultivation treasures beyond the reach of ordinary people. Many Profound Body experts have faced the Sky Barrier Bottleneck for years, yet just one bottle of Heavenly Barrier Demon Blood Essence can propel them forward, breaking through the barrier in one go.
But now, the convoy transporting these demon bodies stretches for several miles, consisting of over a hundred heads, their abundance unseen before.
The Ten Evils Demons are all present, along with various other peculiar creatures!
What made Yun Tiansheng’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably was the aura of Great Martial Vault Demons coming from two of the vehicles.
A scale about a zhang in size, glimmering with a dark sheen, and a large crate under lock.
This sight left Yun Tiansheng, who had followed the general into the Demon Battlefield, experienced in countless battles, dumbfounded.
Not only was he shocked by the sheer number of Heavenly Barrier Demon corpses, far exceeding the total they once faced when they went south in several battles in Guang’an Prefecture and Weiyuan Pass, but also bewildered by the mysterious circumstances: why did the Ten Evils Demons appear together? Who killed so many demons, and why hasn’t a whisper been heard in Jingguan City?
It was not hard to guess that a battle shaking the very mountains and rivers must have happened!
Yun Tiansheng’s heart tightened, forcibly suppressing the shock in his eyes. As a general, he learned to remain unmoved like a mountain while following his own general.
"Hiss, hiss"
The restless neighs of horses rose one after another on this snowfield.
The horse beneath him was agitated by the demonic energy, letting out a long neigh, its hooves restlessly pounding. Yun Tiansheng patted its back, taking a long breath with a solemn face, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"Military Officer Lian!"
"So many Heavenly Barrier Demon corpses, all Ten Evils are present, and the aura of Great Martial Vault Demons. What on earth happened?"
The more Yun Tiansheng thought, the more urgently he wanted answers.
Across from him, clad in a red dress, the poised and spirited Lian Nichang knew that the other had many questions and spoke directly to the answer:
"Three nights ago, my brother returned to Qingshan County from Tianxiong Pass."
"A Martial Vault Demon was stirring trouble in Qingshan County, plotting revenge against my brother. Upon learning this, my brother used magic to capture the demon. The demon hid in Langdang Mountain, sacrificing numerous life souls to open a transmission channel, leading ten Great Martial Vault Demons with their demon soldiers to descend..."
"At that time, my brother was just redeploying from several prefectures nearby, planning to pass through Qingshan and then head to the Southeast Front."
"Thus, my brother led his troops, along with several Martial Vault veterans, and together they slew the ten Great Demons!"
The complexity of this matter was such that even though Lian Nichang herself was involved in most of it, she couldn’t fully explain it at once. That night, her brother used magic to search for the Human Demon, leaving her to guard Qingshan County and the severely injured Old Wu, causing her to miss the battle.
She tried to explain the events in the simplest terms, to make sure that Yun Tiansheng, this Piaoqi beside her brother, had a clear understanding.
Because she too was a bit urgent!
"Where is the general now?"
Yun Tiansheng understood that the brother Ms. Lian mentioned was, in fact, his own general, resolving all his doubts at once.
Indeed, it was his own general!
Only his own general could pull this off!
For a moment, a divine light burst from his eyes as he inquired.
And upon asking this, he saw Lian Nichang from across tighten her heroic brows and eyes, and Yun Tiansheng’s ear was suddenly filled with a transmitted message.
Soon, Yun Tiansheng’s expression changed several times.
His gaze tense, Lian Nichang’s message mentioned that a Dragon Tiger Demon had appeared afterward, capturing the general and other Martial Vault warriors into a space channel, leaving the general’s whereabouts currently unknown.
But the general should be fine!
"Military Officer Lian, how is the general’s safety confirmed?" Yun Tiansheng, concerned for the general’s safety, tensed up. He was trying to stay calm in the face of a major event, but without the general’s composure and confidence, his tone showed some agitation.
Only to see Lian Nichang pull the reins, the horse turned, moving her aside.
Behind her, a few dozen meters away, at the very front of the convoy, was the most ordinary curtained horse carriage. The others were transporting demon bodies, huge in size, sealed by prohibitions and wrapped in black cloth. Only this one was a regular carriage.
Beside the carriage, a man with a pale, beardless face, dressed in Mystic Armor, with a slightly sleazy glint in his eyes, was watching them from atop a horse, his eyes were rolling around.
Lian Nichang glanced at this person, who immediately fixed his gaze, showing an arrogant expression, with his head held high, moving forward by pulling the reins.
"This is Heavenly Dog, a Contracted Demon under my brother. Yun Piaoqi should know that under normal circumstances, if the contractor dies, so does the Contracted Demon, unless the Contracted Demon’s power surpasses that of the Contractor, capable of defying the contract rules."
Lian Nichang explained the background of "this person" to Yun Tiansheng, indicating that it couldn’t be anyone else but the Heavenly Dog.
Heavenly Dog’s initially aloof expression immediately collapsed, as her words felt like she was rubbing salt into its wounds, striking straight to the heart.
It wanted to grimace but recalling seeing its master being very familiar with this woman in the small courtyard at Qingshan County, calling its master "brother," decided against it, realizing she’d be trouble if it did.
Heavenly Dog could only swallow its frustration!
Yun Tiansheng, upon hearing this, gazed at the transformed human form of the Heavenly Dog, suddenly remembering this fact, no wonder he sensed demonic energy from the person.
Two days had passed since the incident occurred, seeing that the general’s Contracted Demon was well, the general should be safe for now.
Yun Tiansheng felt slightly relieved!
"As this Piaoqi recalls, Contracted Demons can sense their master’s location. Let me ask you then, can you sense where my general is?"
Heavenly Dog truly wanted to roll a canine eye, who exactly were they talking to, questioning the dog and looking to its master, but recognizing Yun Tiansheng as the deputy general who often accompanied its master, decided it would let it slide, and replied in a muffled tone:
