Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

What does it feel like to be surrounded by nearly 10,000 people?

As far as the eye could see, countless demon heads filled the intricate barracks, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A dog demon with several ears, wiping its snot and tears all over Wang Hong, cried, "Commander! You've finally come! If you hadn't come, I would have been the one being drunk instead of the one drinking human soup!"

A cat demon, entirely black, hopped and skipped over to Wang Hong. "Commander! You've finally arrived! We were tricked by those Xuanhu Guards!!"

It took Wang Hong a long time to figure out what was going on!

After the ceremony abruptly ended, Lu Lifei, the commander of the Xuanhu Guard, informed everyone that the clan leader would be inspecting the Iron Fox Guard camp and ordered them all to assemble and wait at the camp.

The Iron Fox Guards went to great lengths to clean the barracks thoroughly and neatly, even licking the toilets until they were spotless!

Just as they were about to inspect the area, they suddenly heard that a fierce battle had broken out at the ancestral hall. The captains were about to discuss and go to check it out when they discovered that a formation had been set up around the camp, and they could not get out at all!

The formation was even constantly draining their spiritual energy, making them weaker and weaker, while the formation grew stronger!

"Commander, this kind of high-level formation is not something someone like Lu Lifeng can pull off!" The bear demon Qiao'er glared angrily, her magical power trembling.

"Commander, Lu Lifeng must have betrayed the family! They must be attacking the ancestral hall!" Niu Li, a pig demon in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, knelt on one knee, begging Commander Shi to go and support the ancestral hall immediately!

Wang Hong looked at Qingxiang, and the two exchanged bewildered glances. "The Xuanhu Guards are the backbone of the family; how could they possibly betray us?"

Could it be that Lu Feng controlled the Xuanhu Guards and sent them to attack the ancestral hall in order to move the divine beasts from Xiaoyao Pavilion?

Wang Hong's face darkened, and he coldly rebuked, "A bunch of idiots, letting themselves be trapped here so easily!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Now, battalion commanders, gather your troops and get to the ancestral hall right now to see what they're up to!"

Wang Hong led nearly ten thousand Iron Fox Guards, marching in a grand procession toward the ancestral hall.

Many hands make light work!

Ji Duanyi whispered in Wang Hong's ear, "Are you sure this rabble will be of any use?"

Feeling the warmth of her breath, Wang Hong deliberately turned his head and took a deep breath.

"Before I unleash my power, did you ever imagine that my combat strength was so formidable?" Although Wang Hong was being carried by the spiritual energy of the broken wing, he maintained an arrogant posture.

The thought of Duan Yi calling him a mere Qi Refining noob ignited a surge of anger within him!

"How does my Meteor Piercing the Moon compare to your Golden Thunder Strike?"

Seeing Duan Yi deep in thought, he gently patted her shoulder and said mysteriously, "Duan Yi, you're still young, you don't understand! There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!"

Broken-winged sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and his right hand twisted fiercely around Wang Hong's waist. Wang Hong quickly pointed to the people drinking human soup and eating human flesh, saying, "Just like this dog and that cat, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Ji Duanyi followed his gaze but found nothing strange, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

"Heh, you think I'm just being mysterious, don't you!" Wang Hong saw through Ji Duanyi's thoughts and explained calmly, "That cat is a Nine-Nether Cat, and that dog is an Eight-Eared Dog!"

Ji Duanyi still looked puzzled. "What? I've never heard of that! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Hong was secretly shocked by the sheer size of the Holy Sword's database, then became smug. "The Nine-Nether Cat, according to legend, has nine lives. It will only recognize one master in its lifetime, and it will risk its life for its master in times of crisis!"

Duan Yi, however, pointed at Wang Hong and laughed heartily: "I thought you, Lord Wang, could have any brilliant ideas? Isn't this just an old story I heard when I was three years old!"

Wait, it's not the Holy Sword, are you sure you're not mistaken?!

Seeing Ji Duanyi's undisguised mockery, Wang Hong truly began to doubt the Holy Sword!

"If it were a matter of life and death, Lu Feng would have treasured this cat long ago. Do you think it's your turn?"

Wang Hong's face darkened: "You can eat human flesh, get over here!"

The cannibal was a cat demon whose human form was incomplete; it was short and could barely stand or walk. Seeing Lord Shi's angry expression, it didn't know what it had done to offend him, and shakily rolled over, saying, "My lord, please give me your orders!"

Wang Hong placed his hand directly on her fluffy head, and the Holy Sword started operating on its own, scanning frantically.

[Race Bloodline: Nine Netherworld Guardian Cat, Cultivation Level: Mid-Qi Refining Stage]

Bloodline purity 0.1%

[Supernatural Power: Nine Lives Soul Guardian: This cat has nine whiskers, each of which can lock onto the soul of a dying person, pulling them back from the brink of death once.]

[Supernatural Power: Guiding the Underworld: Can temporarily preserve the soul of a dying person.]

Although Wang Hong was startled by the 0.1% bloodline percentage, he felt reassured after seeing the description of the supernatural abilities that followed!

Haha, Holy Sword, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!

Wang Hong, beaming with delight, lifted the cannibal up with both hands. Seeing that the cannibal only had a single whisker near its mouth, he said kindly, "Cannibal, huh? That's quite a powerful name. Who gave you, a girl, such a powerful name?"

"Reporting to the Commander, I am an orphan. It was Miss Qingxiang who took me in and arranged for me to work in the Iron Fox Guard!"

Qingxiang stepped forward and smiled faintly: "Although this little demon is a woman, her personality is wilder than anyone else's. She's fierce and aggressive, and she won't listen to me, so I have no choice but to let her be. However, the people in the Iron Fox Guard are naturally unruly and have a strong sense of chivalry, so she's quite at home there."

"Hmm, not bad, a very good background!" Wang Hong was overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure, and led her to Ji Duanyi's side.

Although it only has one tail whisker now, once its bloodline is enhanced, it will surely become a powerful ally for Wang Hong in the future!

"From now on, you will stay by my side and serve your mistress well!" After saying that, he took out an eighth-order magic weapon, the Soul-Suppressing Lock, from the glass lamp and personally put it around the neck of the cannibal.

"This is an eighth-tier magic weapon, the Soul-Suppressing Lock. It can be used to fight enemies, and also to comprehend the mysteries of the soul!"

Upon hearing this, all the demons were shocked! They looked on with envy as they ate the human flesh.

He was only at the Qi Refining stage when he ate human flesh, yet he was bestowed with an eighth-tier magic weapon!

It should be understood that there are not many forces in this world capable of crafting magical artifacts, and the number of magical artifacts is becoming increasingly scarce.

Even some Foundation Establishment experts don't have any eighth-tier magic weapons they can use!

The cat-faced man who ate human flesh froze for a moment, then burst into tears as if his parents had died: "Lord Shi, you are my second parents! Lord Shi, from now on, even if it means going through fire and water, if I even flinch while eating human flesh, I am no hero!"

The man who drank the human soup paled and suddenly rushed over. Nearly two meters tall, he lay on the ground, clinging tightly to Wang Hong's leg. "Lord Shi! My loyalty is unquestionable! I am also an orphan, and my background is excellent!"

Drinking the human soup slightly improved his transformation, but it only extended to the point where he could walk upright.

Wang Hong placed his hand on his head, and the Holy Sword began to scan.

[Race Bloodline: Nine Netherworld Listening Dog, Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Qi Refining]

Bloodline purity 1.1%

[Supernatural Ability: Thousand-Mile Wind Chaser: Exceptionally sensitive hearing, capable of tracking sounds from a thousand miles away.]

[Supernatural Power: Netherworld Hearing: Able to hear the thoughts in one's mind and perceive even the slightest details.]

The introduction is brief, but the supernatural powers are immense!

Overjoyed, Wang Hong took out an eighth-order magic weapon, the Black Armor, from the glass cup and personally put it on the person who drank the soup!

"From now on, you'll be working for me, and you'd better be my scout!"

"Yes, sir!" He Ren Tang's face lit up with ecstatic joy, his eyes practically brimming with adoration as he looked at Wang Hong. "But what is a scout?"

Wang Hong's face darkened. He knew this guy's bloodline was thin and he had no supernatural abilities right now, so he coldly shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, watch and learn more!"

A large crowd surged forward, begging for the magic weapon. At this moment, Wang Hong was surrounded by beautiful women, his face radiant with admiration, and surrounded by countless demons, he couldn't help but feel triumphant.

A sudden burst of light shone from between his brows, and one magical treasure after another shot out like a blotting-out cloud, spinning continuously in the sky, their dazzling light and myriad rays of light dyeing the entire world with shimmering brilliance.

Upon seeing this, the demons were filled with fervor and knelt down in unison, their deafening shouts soaring into the sky: "Long live Lord Shi!"

"These magical treasures are my treasures accumulated over decades. Now that the Lu family is in great turmoil, although we are descendants of other races, we still have the heart to serve our master. Brothers, let us follow this commander to suppress evil. When the time comes, we will drink wine from large bowls, eat meat in large chunks, and divide the spirit stones by weight!"

After saying that, Wang Hong suddenly raised his arm, activated the Emperor's Sword, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the ancestral hall.

The countless magical treasures followed closely behind him like a surging torrent of spiritual energy.
