Patrol Captain

"Boom!"

A thunderclap suddenly resounded, and the entire sky above Yunding Mountain trembled violently. In an instant, an extremely dazzling white beam of light suddenly tore through the clouds, like a sharp blade splitting the heavens and the earth, piercing through the two poles of heaven and earth. Wherever the beam of light passed, the clouds melted, the air flowed backward, and a piercing buzzing sound was emitted. With a loud bang, it crashed onto the command platform.

With a deafening roar, the bluestone floor tiles of the command platform shattered and flew everywhere, sending rocks flying and dust billowing into the air.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, an incomparably powerful aura burst through the mist, emerging from a white pillar of light. Immediately following, a dazzling, towering silver sacred tree appeared with a thunderous roar.

The giant tree, as towering as a mountain, shimmers with silver light, reflecting the sky like flowing silver, resembling an ancient divine tree, magnificent and extraordinary.

As this sacred ancient tree appeared, the resounding neighing of horses pierced the sky.

The next moment, thousands of spectators on the cloud-top stands, who were looking up at the sky, suddenly narrowed their eyes and burst into gasps of surprise.

"Look!"

"what is that?"

"."

The tremors spread like a tide, and the sounds were filled with shock and horror.

Before everyone's eyes, the silver divine tree that appeared from the space had its silver leaves fluttering down like a cascading silver river, while among its branches, black dots appeared like a tide, looking down from above.

Clearly visible, those black dots are soldiers clad in heavy black iron armor, riding horses!

They stood tall, their armor gleaming with cold light and stained with blood. Their eyes were sharp as eagles, radiating a chilling aura of dominance and slaughter. When they gathered together, the oppressive feeling swept down like a tidal wave, making it hard to breathe.

What horrified everyone even more was that the branches of the silver divine tree, resembling divine weapons, were densely pierced with all sorts of hideous, bloodied demons—there was a Gu Diao with tattered wings, its chest pierced, its sharp beak emitting a mournful cry of blood; there was a Bashe, riddled with holes by the branches, its massive body twisted in agony as the branches pierced deeper and deeper, the blood flowing from its body being sucked dry by the branches like straws; and there was the burly Bing Xie, its head severed, blood streaming from its neck, yet still retaining a vigorous life force, its limbs pierced by branches, hanging in mid-air like chains.
The entire scene was terrifying, with countless, densely packed, mangled remains of demons, bringing the chilling atmosphere of the world to its peak!
Everyone who saw it was horrified, gasped, stared wide-eyed, and speechless!

These soldiers were none other than the Ninth Mountain's troops, and these remains of demons came from the Ten Thousand Mountains, still breathing, clearly hunted down from within the Ten Thousand Mountains!
Just as the viewing platform was stunned by this scene, they saw countless silver leaves gather into a silver river beneath the majestic divine tree, spreading down to Chen Yuan's feet.

Chen Yuan ascended step by step into the sky, his voice calm, yet every word resonated throughout the universe.
"A few days ago, demons attacked the city, killing my Chengdu citizens in the streets and openly provoking my Yunding Mountain. Today, I will make them pay for their crimes in blood, and use the blood of these beasts to sacrifice for the flag and send off the sons of Sichuan!"

He said no more, and after finishing, he flicked his sleeve, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings with disdain.

"Kill them!"

As soon as he shouted, the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain on the Yinshan Sacred Tree immediately transformed into swordsmen and axemen, moving in unison, drawing their swords and slashing at the mangled bodies of the demons.

In an instant, the blade's energy pierced the air, and a piercing wail tore through the sky. Crimson blood rain bloomed in the sky above Cloud Peak Mountain, and one demon after another was cut into blood rain amidst their screams. It was a spectacular sight that made all the onlookers tremble with fear.

While thousands of spectators trembled with fear, two great demons hidden in the crowd on the stands twitched violently at the sight.

The young demon girl's seemingly "innocent" eyes revealed a hint of fear and astonishment.

Beside her, the demon king's triangular eyes twitched, veins bulged at the corners of his eyes, and an uncontrollable ferocity emanated from them.

He hadn't anticipated this turn of events. No news had come from the Holy Clan in the mountains. He merely glanced sideways and forced out a few suppressed syllables.

Damn it.

When did they make their move?

"How come I haven't received any news?" The voice carried a hint of rage and ferocity.

The young demon girl beside him trembled slightly and quickly whispered:
"Holy King, we haven't received a single tip-off. What should we do now?"

"Make your move!" The Demon King glanced sideways, his face contorted with crimson veins, and his voice seemed to emanate from the depths of an icy hell. "Let's see how this human martial saint will end up in front of so many people."

"I will turn this place into a battlefield of carnage!"

The young demon girl saw the ferocious veins writhing on the Holy King's face and knew that he was truly enraged and about to reveal his true form. Her heart trembled, and she immediately responded. Then, her eyes turned to look in a certain direction on one side of the viewing platform, and soon, a strange and intense purple light flashed in her eyes.

In the direction she was gazing, a group of people from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had gathered on a cloud platform several hundred meters away. Qingyangzi, who was looking up, suddenly froze. Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the young female demon. Through the layers of people, he saw the young female demon in the crowd, and her pupils flashed with the same purple light.

But he only glanced at it and then casually moved on!

Not far away, the purple light in the girl's great demon pupils paused, a hint of surprise and astonishment flashing within them, and the hand seal she was forming in her sleeve froze.

Immediately afterward, a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes, and she continued to activate the hand seals in her sleeves, but after two attempts, it was ineffective.

"What's going on?" The Taiyi Demon King beside him noticed something, glanced over, and said in a gloomy voice.

"I don't know either. That person was clearly affected by my divine power." The young demon girl's pretty face turned ugly. According to her plan, if she activated her divine power, she would control the soul of Qingyangzi of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, take over his body, draw the sword of the disciple next to him, and kill indiscriminately, splattering blood on the stands, causing a riot, and interrupting the sacrificial flag of Cloud Peak Mountain.

But contrary to her expectations, her supernatural powers did not react.

Something's not right!

"Didn't you say your supernatural powers were flawless?" The Demon King Taiyi's eyes darted around, his gaze sharp as he looked at the "girl."

The young demon girl felt a slight panic, but remained calm. "Holy King, don't worry. We have many backup plans left in the Yun family. I'll make the troops down the mountain run wild."

After speaking, she lowered her gaze and looked down at the battlefield below Cloud Peak where hundreds of thousands of soldiers had gathered. The purple light in her eyes surged up again, becoming even more eerie. Her lips moved rapidly, and the handprints hidden in her sleeves almost left afterimages.

But time passed, then two, then three breaths.
There's been no movement at all!

The "young girl" demon's expression grew increasingly grim.

Until, the Taiyi Demon King quickly realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Something's not right!"

"stop!"

The young demon was unwilling to accept this. She had clearly confirmed with her own hands that she had planted the Soul Control Curse on the Yun family members, so why was there no reaction? She did not want to bear the Holy King's wrath, and her purple eyes continued to gleam as she surveyed the area below.

As a result, the voice of the Demon King Taiyi, filled with an overwhelming and intense murderous aura, reached his ears: "Shut up."

"We've been exposed!"

"Look around."

The young demon girl looked up and saw that all around her in the stands, pairs of eyes were looking in their direction, filled with doubt and astonishment.

Because, high in the sky, the gaze of that human martial saint is fixed on this direction! (End of Chapter)
