Chapter 477 Averting Disaster
Wu Chang looked around and replied:
"So it's easier to talk."

Meng Yawen asked, "Are you still following the Fire-Character Demon-Slaying Army?"

Wu Chang said, "We are still in the Fire-Character Demon-Slaying Army. If you want to come over, I can help you arrange a chance encounter. If you don't need to worry about revealing your identities, I can have you act as scouts, following around the Demon-Slaying Army without contacting the main force."

Before the world instance officially began, Wu Chang asked Meng Yawen if she wanted to join the Great Xuan Royal Family faction.

The two parties are collaborators, and Meng Yawen helped him activate three Earthly Branch array eyes. If he joins the Great Xuan Royal Family camp, he can grant Meng Yawen the same level of authority as the members of the Mystic Knights.

However, Meng Yawen is still in a period of seclusion and does not want to run into acquaintances from the Administration Bureau, so she has not joined the Great Xuan Royal Family.

She and Fang Hui seem to have joined some hidden faction and have been active in the Demon Realm.

When the Ziwei Exorcising Array began, the two of them also received the blessing of resistance to the four calamities, but they did not follow the Demon-Slaying Army, but acted on their own.

However, Wu Chang has plenty of ways to deal with Meng Yawen and Fang Hui if they want to.

Meng Yawen refused:

We appreciate your kindness, but now is not the time.

"I can only leave for a short while, so I'll keep it short. During the Ziwei exorcism ceremony, we received a mission from Lü Changgeng to enter the demon realm ahead of the demon-slaying army and rescue several celestial beings trapped there."

“Those celestial beings are the peripheral members of the Light Society that I mentioned to you before.”

Wu Chang's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he asked, "Is the danger they encountered related to the Fire-Character Demon-Slaying Army's route of movement?"

Meng Yawen confirmed:

"That's right, they were all attacked near the Fire Demon King's territory."

"They spoke evasively, claiming that the monsters received some kind of order to ambush and attack them, but while leading them away, I sensed the presence of that dangerous girl with fangs around me."

Wu Chang recalled that when he had contacted Meng Yawen before, she told him that among the third batch of players who entered the world instance, there was a group of about 15 players who had connections with the Light Society.

Among them was a girl with tiger teeth, whom even Meng Yawen admitted was inferior to, and she was suspected to be one of the four dreamlike divinity possessors chosen by the Brightness Society.

Meng Yawen continued:
"I could tell she was injured, badly injured, and severely weakened."

"The Humanitarian Alliance's purpose in sending me to rescue ordinary celestial beings was a pretense; their real aim was to take the Tiger Fang Girl away."

Upon hearing this result, Wu Chang couldn't help but click his tongue.

If the girl with tiger teeth, like the white wolf, was chosen by the Light Society and became a being who had completely merged with divinity in the Desolate Realm, possessing the strength of a true low-level god.

In the early stages, the ideal divinity is weaker than the ordinary divinity, but even at its weakest, it is still a true low-ranking god, an overpowered existence in the Wilderness Realm.

Whether facing the Earth Immortals of the Human Alliance or the Four Demon Kings of the Demon Realm, they hold an absolute advantage.

With two of the four demon kings gone, even with the addition of what appears to be a fifth humanoid demon king, the three demon kings attacking the Tiger Fang Girl would make it easy for her to escape, even if she couldn't win.

Unless the girl with tiger teeth is stubborn and insists on fighting to the death, it's unlikely she'll suffer serious injuries.

In the Demon Realm, besides him, what else could severely injure a lower-level god?
No wonder Meng Yawen was so eager to tell him this information.

he asked:
"When you led them away, were you being watched by anything?"

Meng Yawen said:
"On the way to escort them away, we were chased by three demon generals. They were very intelligent and did not engage in battle with me rashly, but instead kept probing around us."

"They realized that even if they joined forces, they could not defeat me, so they left with the demons on their own. The three demon generals had one thing in common: they were all fire-attribute demons."

Meng Yawen paused for a moment and said:

"When I was in Zhenyue City, I vaguely heard people say that the Fire Demon King had died, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Wu Chang confirmed, "It's true, the Fire Demon King Zhu Yin Hai is dead."

Hearing Wu Chang's confident answer, Meng Yawen was taken aback and subconsciously asked;
"You did it?"

Wu Chang suddenly remembered that he had been in contact with Meng Yawen's true self, not her physical body, so he changed his words:

"I have inside information, I guarantee it's accurate."

Meng Yawen had no doubts and continued:

"I suspect that the girl with the tiger teeth was injured because she was sent on a mission to explore the land where the Fire Demon King inherited his legacy, and she encountered danger there."

"The Fire Demon-Slaying Army's target is the Fire Demon King's territory, so be very careful when you arrive."

Meng Yawen couldn't stay away for long, so she quickly ended the call after finishing her conversation.

Wu Chang put away the communication talisman, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Could it be that Zhu Yinhai has been dead for too long, and a new fire-attribute demon beast has inherited his legacy and become the Fire Demon King? When the members of the Light Society, including the Tiger Fang Girl, went to check, they happened to run into the new demon king, which led to the conflict between the two sides?
How could the newly born Fire Demon King possibly severely injure a low-ranking deity like the Tiger Fang Girl?

When the Fire Demon Army arrives at the Fire Demon King's territory, hopefully the new Fire Demon King won't disappoint him.

The Wind-Character Army breaks through the demon army, Yan City.

The danger the players had imagined did not materialize. When they regrouped and set off again the next day, the players could hardly believe they had escaped safely.

No one disappeared inexplicably, no one saw anything strange, and no one's will was shaken.

Such peace and quiet makes one feel as if something is missing.

The journey on the second day was much calmer than that on the first day.

At first, the Wind Demon-Slaying Army maintained the same pattern as yesterday, with the main force dispersed and moved slowly, while fast scouts lured the demons around.

But after two or three hours, only a few scattered demons took the bait, and they couldn't even gather a hundred demon-suppressing blood talismans filled with demonic energy.

Seeing this, Wu Jian tightened his formation and abandoned the strategy of slowly advancing along the way. Instead, he accelerated towards Hulu Mountain, and once his scouts detected a group of medium to large-sized monsters, he would rearrange his formation.

However, as the team got closer to Calabash Mountain, they encountered fewer and fewer monsters along the way. The sparseness of monsters was almost back to before the world dungeon officially started.

Could it be that all the demons fled to the outer edge of the demon realm and were killed off by them yesterday?

Just as everyone was having doubts, the scouts ahead brought news.

According to the map of the Demon Realm, after crossing the great river ahead, they had entered the area within a hundred miles of Calabash Mountain.

However, a black wind was raging on the other side of the river. The scout had only crossed halfway when he felt the black wind rapidly draining his energy. He dared not cross the river rashly, so he returned to ask Wu Chang and Yuan Yan how to deal with it.

Upon hearing the name "Black Wind," Wu Chang naturally thought of the black wind that surrounded Calabash Mountain, where demonic energy condensed.

Once a demon obtains the inheritance of a demon king, it can use the energy of the inheritance site to form a circle of demonic energy within its territory.

Surrounded by demonic energy, the Demon King possesses almost inexhaustible demonic power and can even amplify his spells using the demonic energy.

When they were exploring the demon realm, the Azure Feather Bird temporarily concealed its demonic aura in order to lure them closer to Calabash Mountain, making them believe that they had not yet approached the demon king's territory.

Once they get close, release your demonic energy to form a demon king's domain, gaining an absolute advantage.

Wu Chang and Yuan Yan followed the scouts to the riverbank. Before they even reached the river, they could see the howling black wind on the other side, even across the two or three hundred meters of water.

The dense demonic aura was very conspicuous; it was the Black Wind from the Wind Demon King's territory.

After the Azure Feather Bird died, the black winds around Calabash Mountain dissipated. Why did it appear here?

It should be noted that when the Azure Feather Bird was still alive, it could only cause the Black Wind to cover an area of ​​ten miles.

Could it be that the Azure Feather Bird was killed, making room for the new Wind Demon King to become so powerful that he can extend the black wind for hundreds of miles?
Wu Chang frowned slightly. If the New Wind Demon King could really achieve this level, he would probably be close to becoming a mid-level god.

Approaching rashly would not only result in heavy casualties among the Wind Demon-Slaying Army, but would also expose his and Eileen's strength.

He wasn't sure what had happened at Hulu Mountain, and at times like this, he needed to ask the magical omniscient crystal.

The Omniscient Crystal quickly gave him the answer: the center of the Demon King's domain was Calabash Mountain, and the area within a hundred miles of Calabash Mountain was indeed shrouded in black wind.

However, the massive black wind was not the work of the new Wind Demon King, but rather a result of the inheritance within Calabash Mountain, which was using this method to attract suitable demons to its vicinity.

Wu Chang suddenly realized why there were fewer and fewer monsters the closer they got to Calabash Mountain; it turned out they had gone to Calabash Mountain.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, worried that as the number of demons decreased, the time he would have to waste collecting demon-suppressing blood talismans would increase.

That's great, the monsters have come together on their own, saving him a lot of trouble.

He instructed the scouts who had spotted the black wind:

"Call everyone back, consolidate your formation, and prepare to cross the river."

He then found Yuan Yan and instructed him:
"The black wind before us is essentially a calamity of heaven and earth. We will need Young Master Yuan's intervention to further enhance our resistance to the wind's destructive force, so that we can successfully reach Calabash Mountain," Yuan Yan advised.
"Sect Leader Tang, quality is more important than quantity. The Demon-Slaying Army is of varying strength, and many of its Celestials will be of little use even if they reach the other side. It would be better to leave them behind, streamline the manpower, and then cross the river."

Wu Chang shook his head slightly. He was heading to Calabash Mountain to wipe out all the demons gathered there and collect all the demon-suppressing blood talismans needed by the Wind Demon-Breaking Army.

If too few people are brought along, the monster will escape, and there won't be such a good opportunity next time.

He said:
"Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, I, Tang, have been dealing with demons and have my own plans for slaying them. Young Master Yuan, do not be afraid, just do it."

The Tang Clan's exploits in fighting demons are well-known throughout the Great Xuan cultivation world. Wu Chang used his extensive experience to pressure Yuan Yan, who naturally had no choice but to comply.

The black wind formed from demonic energy is essentially a wind disaster suppressed in the sacrificial altar.

Wind disasters are troublesome calamities that require a sacrificial ceremony to eliminate. They are one of the origins of the world's dungeon planes and are far more troublesome than ordinary demonic energy in the demon realm.

For players who haven't mastered the power of origin, even top-tier experts will find it difficult to last long.

This is where the importance of grouping people according to their resistance to the four calamities becomes apparent.

There are no super players like Peace in the Wind Demon-Slaying Army; the vast majority of players have the Wind Disaster Resistance buff.

The essence of the Wind Disaster Resistance is the protection provided by the Ziwei Exorcising Array, which gathers the fortune of the human race. Under Yuan Yan's adjustment, the Wind-Character Demon-Slaying Army formed a formation, and the Wind Disaster Resistance was condensed into one force, doubling its effect.

With the added blessing of Wu Chang's martial luck range, the Wind-Character Demon-Slaying Army was able to barely withstand the Black Wind.

A hundred miles is not a long distance for cultivators, but the aura of resistance against the wind disaster was too obvious. In order not to alert the demons and start the battle ahead of time, everyone moved very slowly.

It was late afternoon when we crossed the river, and by the time we arrived at Hulu Mountain it was already late afternoon, and the sky had completely darkened.

The darkness of night could not obstruct Wu Chang's vision. Even from a great distance, he could see that Calabash Mountain was teeming with countless demons, so numerous that the mountain's size had increased several times over.

As Qingyu Bird previously stated, demons do not need to search for the Demon King's inheritance themselves. The inheritance site will select demons qualified to receive the inheritance and project information directly into their minds to lure them over.

The demons guarding Calabash Mountain were all summoned by the Wind Demon King.

They waited quietly in place, without fighting among themselves, waiting to enter Calabash Mountain and obtain their own opportunity.

The number of monsters appearing on Calabash Mountain is no less than 1,500.

This number doesn't seem like much; it's less than the number of demons the Wind Demon-Slaying Army dealt with yesterday.

However, to be qualified to appear here and compete for the Demon King's inheritance, a demon must at least possess the strength of a Demon Lieutenant. A Demon Lieutenant is below a Demon Guard and is equivalent to a top-tier expert among human cultivators.

Each demon here possesses enough demonic energy to fill at least one demon-suppressing blood talisman.

The players were unaware of the relevant information and were far apart. They only felt that there were a lot of monsters to face this time. Only a small number of players ranked in the top 500 of the combat power list vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But Yuan Yan, Su Wangyou, and other natives of the plane who knew the inside story began to tremble when they saw this scene.

There are 1,500 top-tier experts, including at least 100 grandmasters and 20 great grandmasters.

Moreover, among these demons, there is always the possibility of another Earth Immortal emerging at any time.

Including the Human Alliance and the Great Xuan Royal Family, as well as the top-tier cultivators from various sects, there are at most 1,500 people who can reach the level of second-rate experts and are qualified to enter the Demon Realm.

In terms of strength alone, he was already a level below the monsters in front of him.

Those that appeared on Calabash Mountain were less than a quarter of all the demons.

Without the intervention of celestial beings, they saw absolutely no chance of victory against such overwhelmingly powerful demons.

Yuan Yan wanted Tang to quickly lead everyone away, return to report the information about Calabash Mountain, and gather the strength of the four demon-slaying armies to wipe out the demon horde of Calabash Mountain.

To his surprise, when he looked at Sect Leader Tang, he found that Sect Leader Tang's face showed no panic, only calmness and excitement.

He thought he had misread it and was about to say something when Sect Leader Tang spoke first, saying:

"I would like to trouble you, Vice Minister Yuan, to change the formation to one that is suitable for the present situation."

Yuan Yan didn't immediately understand Wu Chang's request and asked, "Sect Leader Tang, what are we asking for?"

Wu Chang said with a smile, "Of course, it's to annihilate the enemy. We should not let any of them escape."

Yuan Yan stood there, completely stunned, his face full of question marks.

Annihilate the enemy? Us?
No, although the Wind Demon-Slaying Army has nearly three thousand members, giving them a numerical advantage, only one thousand of them are top-tier experts, and only six have the strength of a Grandmaster.

Moreover, being caught in a typhoon, their formation has been scattered, and without double the resistance against the typhoon, their strength will only be greatly reduced.

If a real fight breaks out, it would be a miracle if even a third of them escaped; the monsters have small appetites and have already eaten their dinner.

He wanted to refuse, but the moment he met Wu Chang's eyes, he was overwhelmed by the confidence in Wu Chang's eyes and could not utter a word of refusal.

He took a deep breath and made a decision that even he thought was crazy.

He set up a formation diagram and issued commands through the formation flags, causing the players to form a three-ring mutual generation formation.

The Wind-Character Demon-Slaying Army formed three nested rings. During battle, they relied on the outer, middle, and inner rings to continuously circulate according to the changes in the array flags, offsetting the vacuum period of the cultivators' spells and achieving a continuous and inexhaustible offensive.

He said, "Sect Leader Tang, this formation can only block demons on the ground. It is powerless against demons from the air."

Wu Chang said, "It's alright, as long as it blocks the ground, that's enough!"

His body crackled with electricity, and he suddenly soared into the air, transforming into a streak of lightning as he flew swiftly towards Calabash Mountain.

The deafening thunder startled the demons entrenched on Calabash Mountain. They all looked up at the sky and gazed at Wu Chang, who was flying towards them.

As Wu Chang left, the martial luck effect he emitted disappeared, and a black windstorm blew in, causing the players to shiver. The desire for battle in their eyes instantly cooled and became clear.

Some players who had not yet reached the maximum level were blown by the black wind and immediately became weak in the limbs. Their internal energy seemed to be disrupted by the black wind, and they could not use it at all.

What's going on? It turns out that the seemingly ordinary Black Wind is actually so terrifying. Without the protection of immortal magic, they don't even have the qualification to enter the core battlefield.

Oh no, this is the real deal, they're playing the real thing.

Now, not only the demons' gazes were focused on the lightning in the sky, but also on the Wind Demon-Slaying Army.

However, the lightning was too dazzling, and they could only see a bright ball of light, unable to see Wu Chang's movements inside.

With the lightning blocking his view, Wu Chang took out the Disaster Relief Flag from his personal space.

"Item Skill: Averting Calamity"

"Skill Description: Waving the command flag can suppress the four calamities for a short period of time."

The Disaster Relief Banner was created based on the Heaven Worship Ritual. Even when the world's copy plane was still in the Realm of Reason, it had the ability to suppress the Four Disasters.

After combining the Soul Cleansing Banner with the flagpole to create a genuine Disaster Relief Banner, he had been wanting to test its effectiveness, and now he finally had the chance.

He held the calamity-averting flag in his hand, looked at the demons at his feet, and waved the flag.

With a wave of the command flag, the world seemed to freeze, and the black windstorm that had spread for hundreds of miles around Hulu Mountain vanished instantly.

Players in the Demon-Slaying Army who had been blown into a state of paralysis by the black wind and were unable to stand up suddenly felt no more backache or leg pain and were able to stand up straight.

Both the demon-slaying army and the demons stared blankly at the sky, not understanding what Wu Chang had done.

Wu Chang's inspiration told him that the calamity-averting flag could do more than that, so he waved the flag again.

With a second wave, not only did the black wind disappear, but the demonic aura surrounding Calabash Mountain also subsided.

All the demons that had gathered under the summons of the inherited power cried out in unison, for the voice that had summoned them to Calabash Mountain and granted them the qualification to inherit the power had been cut off.

The flying monsters took to the air, intending to attack the mischievous creatures in the sky.

Faced with the enraged demon, Wu Chang waved the command flag for the third time. In the core area of ​​the demon realm, the place where the Wind Demon King inherited his legacy, spiritual energy appeared out of thin air.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, the demons that had just taken off trembled and fell back down into Calabash Mountain.

The Disaster Relief Banner is responsible for the first step of the Heaven Worship Ceremony, not the third step. It cannot transform all the calamities into auspicious omens as Wu Chang saw at the Heaven Worship Altar, but it is enough to transform a small amount.

The spiritual energy wasn't abundant, but it was enough to weaken the demons and make them completely lose their minds.

Wu Chang withdrew his amulet, and a long spear appeared in his hand. He hurled it at the wolf-shaped demon general in Calabash Mountain, whose aura was the strongest and whose body had a semi-transparent texture.

The spear, imbued with heavenly lightning, pierced through the body, pinning the Wind Wolf to Calabash Mountain.

It's time to exorcise the demon.
