CHAPTER 1128: 1206: I HEARD HE RAISED QUITE A FEW WOLVES.

The crowd was brimming with anger, yet Dong Huiying sensed something unusual in the air.

What’s this? It almost seems like someone is deliberately stirring things up.

After the people outside the courtyard had dispersed, Dong Huiying casually asked, "Old lady, we’re from out of town, and as soon as we got here, we heard about the Wolf King. What is the story with this Wolf King?"

The old lady was talkative and quickly began to explain: "Who knows what’s going on with that man? I’ve heard that he used to roam all over the Northwest, causing trouble, and only recently did he come to Hanxue Pass. He’s just as troublesome here, having killed quite a few people. He’s known as a murderous creature without eyes and is even regarded as a monster. They say he’s raised many wolves, living and eating with the pack, and that he’s terrifying, rumored to feast on human flesh!"

Dong Huiying: "..."

The old lady went on, sharing more rumors circulating within Hanxue Pass, saying that the Wolf King not only eats human flesh but is actually a wolf demon in disguise. Otherwise, how could he live among wolves? She also mentioned that animals seem to understand his words and described him as ruthless and vicious, having claimed many lives.

Dong Huiying: "..."

The old lady continued, "Oh dear, enough talking, I need to get ready. Triangle Village was massacred by that wolf demon; we can’t just sit idly by. Who knows when he might go berserk and come here?"

Dong Huiying saw the old lady energetically take out a hunting knife from storage and asked, "Are you planning to act tonight?"

"Exactly, everyone agreed to meet outside the pass at midnight!"

Dong Huiying immediately said, "This man is really too much. I’ll help you. I’ll go with you to confront the Wolf King. We can’t just watch him massacre people, right?"

The old lady was overjoyed, and after that, Dong Huiying secretly exchanged a glance with Shujun, and Shujun promptly nodded.

At midnight that night,

Yi Ran’s eyes sparkled as he insisted on joining the commotion, and Dong Huiying let him come along.

The crowd gathered outside Hanxue Pass, and Dong Huiying frowned as she observed. Among the common people lurked some rather unique individuals. These people appeared to be practitioners, striding confidently, their presence imposing. Judging by their fierce demeanor, they were likely dangerous characters.

Dong Huiying felt a heaviness in her heart.

This enormous assembly of people, numbering in the thousands, was a spectacular sight indeed.

At the head of the procession, in a carriage, Liang Yuening shivered in his thick cotton-padded coat. Kaoshan Village had snowfall too, but it had never been this cold. Shivering, he pried open a wineskin, only to find the wine inside had frozen into icy slush.

Taking a swig from the wineskin, the icy bits melted in his mouth, followed by the burning sensation of the alcohol, embodying the extremes of ice and fire.

Inside the carriage was another person, Fengsu. "If you’re afraid of the cold, why insist on coming out?"

Yue Ning rolled his eyes, "It’s been so cold lately that Old Yang’s work has come to a halt. I’m almost bored to death, and with such excitement, how could I possibly miss out?"

Fengsu chuckled, "You should be careful later. I hear that the Wolf King is not someone to be trifled with."

"Bah, I’m invincible!" he boasted, then shrank his neck, "But seriously, don’t you think this is strange? Since I arrived here, I’ve heard that this Wolf King used to wreak havoc in other parts of the Northwest until he turned up here at Hanxue Pass. Curiously, as soon as he showed up here, people started clamoring for bloodshed."
