Oh no! I've been reincarnated as a corpse!

Deep in Qinglin Mountain.

Before a towering mountain peak, several whooshing sounds rang out in succession, breaking the silence of the early morning.

The beautiful woman in palace attire, the heroic man in black armor, and the white-haired old man riding a giant flying beast that Lu You had seen before all arrived one after another.

The three of them unabashedly released their auras, and their immense pressure spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.

The mountain peak and the surrounding area for dozens of miles were silent, with birds and beasts falling silent and insects lying on the ground; everything was shrouded in a suffocating stillness.

The three of them glanced at the scene before them, and a look of seriousness appeared in their eyes simultaneously.

Not far from the mountain peak, an entire dense forest was burned to ashes. The charred tree trunks lay scattered on the ground, some still emitting wisps of smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

A valley next to the forest presents a completely different scene: from the mouth of the valley to the bottom, every inch of land is frozen by thick ice. The ice reflects a cold, eerie light in the morning sun, as if winter has taken root here and has no intention of leaving.

The peaks on both sides of the valley have vanished into thin air, and huge boulders are scattered on the surrounding hillsides and valley floor.

The beautiful woman in palace attire stood in mid-air, her skirt fluttering gently in the morning breeze, and smiled slightly: "Yesterday's battle seemed quite intense."

A valiant man in black armor stood in mid-air, wielding a long, jet-black spear.

He said coldly, "My information is that a third-realm demon general from the White Fox clan attacked this place yesterday. It is said to be a descendant of the Crimson Wolf, who ate a White Fox."

The white-haired old man stroked his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "The White Fox Clan? The White Fox Clan on that icy plain eight thousand miles away? That demon clan is quite powerful, it's said they have a powerful demon of the fourth realm backing them. I didn't expect them to actually be fighting with the Crimson Wolf."

The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Internal strife among the demon race is a good thing for us. I just wonder how Red Wolf is doing now... Should we test him?"

The three exchanged a glance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes.

Their purpose in coming here today was to test Red Wolf.

If the Red Wolf is seriously injured and in poor condition due to the White Fox's attack, it will be a golden opportunity for them to strike while he is weakened and kill the Red Wolf Demon General in one fell swoop. They can also clean up the entire Green Forest Mountain, which would be a great achievement.

The man in black armor stepped forward without hesitation.

His blood surged, his voice boomed like a bell, and his shouts echoed between the mountain peaks: "Red Wolf! An old friend has arrived, why not come out and have a chat?"

The sound rolled across the valley, startling a flock of birds in the distance.

After a brief silence, a loud, gruff laugh erupted from the mountain peak.

"Hahaha! I was wondering if my fourth brother was overthinking things, but I never expected you humans to actually be planning to take advantage of our misfortune?"

Before the laughter subsided, a majestic figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

He was an extremely robust man with a naked upper body covered by a thick layer of short black hair, on which faint golden tiger stripes flowed, shimmering with a metallic luster in the morning light.

His pupils were cold and piercing vertical pupils, and the sides of his head still retained the features of a tiger. His two tiger ears twitched slightly, and the fangs exposed at the corners of his mouth made it impossible to doubt that he could bite a person's neck off in one bite.

This is a tiger demon.

Upon seeing the tiger demon, the three men's expressions changed simultaneously, and deep fear appeared in their eyes.

"Mo Xiaojin? You're actually here!"

The three of them were extremely familiar with Mo Xiaojin.

In the entire territory of Nanling County, there are only a handful of powerful demon clans, you can count them on your fingers.

Among these families, the strongest demon general is Mo Xiaojin.

The demon general's cultivation level in the later stages is only one step away from perfection.

More importantly, Mo Xiaojin has a trace of the Black Gold Divine Tiger's bloodline flowing through his body.

Although it was only a very thin trace, it was enough to make his combat power far exceed that of others of the same level.

Many human Golden Core cultivators have fought against Mo Xiaojin, and quite a few of them have suffered losses.

All three knew that Mo Xiaojin and Chi Lang were backed by the same powerful demon of the fourth realm, and the two had always had a close relationship.

Unexpectedly, after the bloody battle between Red Wolf and White Fox yesterday, Mo Xiaojin had already traveled thousands of miles to personally protect Red Wolf this morning.

With Mo Xiaojin here, it's no longer realistic to try and take down Red Wolf.

The white-haired old man was the first to compose himself, stroking his beard and chuckling, "Where's Red Wolf? Our guests have arrived, and he doesn't even come out to greet them? That's incredibly rude!"

Mo Xiaojin crossed his arms, making his muscular physique bulge even more, and laughed loudly, "My fourth brother is healing his injuries and doesn't have time to see you. What, you want to make a move? With me here, plus the formation my fourth brother has set up in his cave, you can't do anything to me. Save your energy and retreat!"

The beautiful woman in palace attire smiled gently, her tone as soft as if she were chatting casually: "Mo Xiaojin, we've known each other for many years, why the rush to send him away? We heard that a white fox and a red wolf fought here yesterday? We wonder how the white fox is doing now?"

Mo Xiaojin sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his vertical pupils: "Humans, put away your hypocritical tricks. This is an internal matter for our demon race, none of your business!"

These words were spoken without any politeness, and the expressions of the three men darkened.

But as Mo Xiaojin said, the Red Wolf, being a demon general at the Golden Core level, had set up a very powerful defensive formation in its cave.

With the unfathomable strength of Mo Xiaojin personally guarding the place, even if Red Wolf himself is seriously injured and cannot leave, they will have no chance of breaking into the cave.

Staying here is just a waste of time.

The three exchanged a glance, and none of them said another word.

Three streaks of light shot into the sky, hurtling towards the direction outside Green Forest Mountain, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Mo Xiaojin stood in the air, watching the three figures disappear completely before letting out a cold snort and turning to fly back to the Crimson Wolf's cave.

Inside the cave, demons and demon soldiers of all sizes lay prostrate on the ground.

Mo Xiaojin strode through them without even lifting an eyelid.

The lesser demons lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering this infamous demon general.

Deep within the cave, an eerie atmosphere permeated the air.

Sometimes it was as hot as a steamer, and sometimes as cold as an ice cellar. Between the alternation of hot and cold, even the stone walls were covered with fine water droplets.

On the jade bed at the deepest part of the room, a man with a wolf's head and a human body sat cross-legged.

It was the Red Wolf.

He was in an extremely disheveled state at that moment.

The right side of his body was covered by thick ice, which stretched from his shoulders to his waist, gleaming with a faint blue light in the dim cave.

The left side of his body wasn't frozen, but it wasn't in much better shape.

His skin was covered with deep wounds that exposed bone, and the blood was so thick that it stained the jade bed beneath him dark red.

With each breath he took, large plumes of white mist would exhale from his mouth and nose, condensing into fine ice shards that would fall down in a soft rustling sound.

Red Wolf was struggling to circulate his demonic energy, gradually dispelling the icy power within his body while simultaneously healing his shocking wounds.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

Seeing Mo Xiaojin walk in, he exhaled a long breath of cold air, his voice weak and hoarse: "Brother, have the humans really come?"

Mo Xiaojin nodded, his face grim: "These humans are treacherous and cunning. They arrived so quickly, clearly intending to take advantage of your weakness and kill you."

Red Wolf gave a bitter laugh, his smile filled with lingering fear: "This time, I owe it all to you, Brother. If you hadn't arrived in time, I probably would have perished here yesterday."

Recalling yesterday's battle, Red Wolf still feels lingering fear.

The white fox's strength far exceeded his expectations; its ice magic was terrifyingly profound.

After fighting for just over an hour, he began to suffer repeated defeats.

Afterwards, he was repeatedly injured by the white fox's overwhelming ice magic, his body was covered by layer upon layer of ice, and even the flow of his demonic energy began to stagnate.

If he hadn't sent a message to his elder brother beforehand, and his brother hadn't arrived at the last minute to save the day, he would probably be frozen into a lifelike ice sculpture by now.

Mo Xiaojin snorted coldly, his tone filled with exasperation: "Isn't this all the trouble caused by your good-for-nothing offspring! I told you to discipline those brats a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen, and now look what's happened!"

A hint of anger flashed in Red Wolf's eyes as he coldly said, "I have personally dealt with that little brat who ate the white fox."

Mo Xiaojin was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said nothing more.

Then, anger surged up again on his face, his voice low and furious: "The White Fox clan is far too arrogant! I personally intervened to mediate, and that White Fox still won't let it go. Does she really think we brothers are easy to bully? This time, the White Fox's injuries are even more severe than yours. If she hadn't run away quickly, I would have captured her and made her my wife!"

Upon hearing this, Red Wolf's bitter smile deepened: "But in doing this, we have completely offended the White Fox Clan."

Mo Xiaojin remained silent for a moment, his irritation gradually fading, replaced by a hint of helplessness.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only ask our lord to step in and see if he can put in a good word for us."

The two powerful demon generals exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

The cave was quiet for a while before the red wolf's eerie voice could be heard.

"Big brother."

"Um?"

"Life is so hard..."
