500 meters... 300 meters... 200 meters...

When they were less than a hundred meters from the top of the outer wall, a gaze suddenly fell on Ye Qingge.

The silver-robed warrior swept his spear, killing three soldiers who had dared to trespass on the outer wall. He then turned his gaze to Ye Qingge and asked in a cold voice, "Where do you think you're going?"

Ye Qingge suddenly unleashed her power, slaying the warrior before her. With a gentle squeeze of her other hand, she extinguished the foxfire, canceling the illusion. She smiled slightly at the silver-robed general and said, "Of course I want to leave this place. Does the general have any objections?"

Charm activated!

This is a talent imprinted in the bloodline of the fox clan. When Ye Qingge possessed Su Qing'er's body, she also possessed this skill, and she didn't even need to use it deliberately; it was used passively.

The silver-robed warrior's eyes glazed over, as if he had seen some rare treasure, revealing a look of infatuation. However, he reacted quickly, biting his tongue to force himself back to his senses, and charged towards Ye Qingge.

It's a pity it's too late.

A foxfire reignited in Ye Qingge's hand, and he leaped downwards, splitting into ten. His true form and the illusion transformed into ten phantoms, which then became ten streaks of light that sped away madly.

Just as the silver-robed warrior was about to give chase, a spell suddenly attacked from behind.

He quickly raised his gun to defend himself, then abruptly turned around to look. Just now, when Ye Qingge extinguished the foxfire, the "fox demons" conjured by her illusion had revealed their true forms. Without the illusion's deception, the original warriors had all regained their senses and wanted to cease fighting.

However, once the charge of trespassing on the outer wall is established, how easy would it be to stop the war?

The soldiers regained their senses, but the situation on the outer wall only became more chaotic. The attacking spell had been accidentally launched by two soldiers fighting nearby.

When the silver-robed warrior looked back after repelling the spell, Ye Qingge's figure had already disappeared into the distance, her whereabouts unknown.

Damn it!

His face was grim. He casually killed a warrior who was fighting with his adjutant, and after instructing the adjutant to report to the city lord, he began to deal with the remaining warriors.

……

……

After breaking through the city wall, Ye Qingge quickly discarded her armor, put on her cloak, and ran for nearly five kilometers until she saw the appearance of the Demon Saint Jiang. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"We've finally left Qingzhou City. Now, all we have to do is cross the Demon Saint River, and our mission will be complete!"

Slowing down, Ye Qingge adjusted her physical condition and, recalling the battle just now, suddenly felt an urge to cover her face.

Allure!

She had used this skill once before, but it was an unconscious use, so it was nothing. This time was different; she used it intentionally. When she used the Primordial Dao Scripture Breathing Technique before, her consciousness was in an absolutely calm state, and she didn't feel anything was wrong with using it.

But looking back on that moment afterward, I feel an indescribable sense of shame.

Shaking her head, Ye Qingge continued to use breathing techniques to suppress the shameful feeling and regain her composure.

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Ye Qingge felt that when she used the Primordial Dao Scripture Breathing Technique, there seemed to be a faint fluctuation within Su Qing'er's body. However, this fluctuation was very subtle, and she could only vaguely sense it. Given the time constraints, there was no time to explore it further, so she had to suppress the thought of investigating it more deeply for the time being.

After running forward for a few minutes, the entire panorama of the Demon Saint Jiang soon appeared before Ye Qingge's eyes.

The section of the river in front of Qingzhou City is extremely wide, stretching for tens of thousands of meters, much like a sea, making it difficult to see the other side at a glance. Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the river, with Su Qing'er's perception, Ye Qingge could clearly sense several powerful auras swirling, waiting for any living being to cross the river before launching a fierce attack.

The riverbank was covered with lush green trees, and occasionally one could see demons with nascent cultivation passing by. When they saw Ye Qingge, their eyes flashed with terror, and they hurriedly fled. Across the river, the territories of the human and demon races were separated. In addition, the current was swift, and there were no boatmen as commonly seen on other rivers.

"It seems that the only way to cross the river is to build a suitable magical vessel myself."

Ye Qingge had a bit of a headache. Building a vehicle was simple; even if it wasn't perfectly designed, it could easily cross the river with the help of demonic power. But she wasn't very confident about equipping the vehicle with special power, so she could only bite the bullet and go for it.

As for using supernatural powers and magic to cross the river... it's unknown how many dangers lie within. It's fraught with peril. As the Demon Saint River that separates the human and demon races, it also has special limitations. The energy consumption of flying is far greater than usual. Furthermore, powerful demonic beasts roam the river. If one is unfamiliar with it, rashly using supernatural powers and magic will only exacerbate the crisis.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned around to prepare to cut wood and build a boat. Just then, Su Qing'er's slightly surprised voice rang out: "Aren't you going to cross the river?"

Ye Qingge shook her head: "Without a vehicle, how are we going to get there?"

"So there are things you don't know."

Su Qing'er spoke with a hint of pride, as if she had discovered a new continent: "Open the bag on your right hand, there is a bone flute inside, then take out the meat inside... do as I say, summon the Holy River God, and you can cross the river safely!"

Ye Qingge was slightly taken aback, then realized what she meant.

She fell into a cognitive trap. Su Qing'er's naive behavior was too deceptive. In fact, since Su Qing'er chose to cross the river from this point, she must have her own method. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to cross the river here.

In comparison, the solution I came up with seemed like taking a roundabout approach.

Following Su Qing'er's suggestion, Ye Qingge took out several items from the bag in her right hand, drew a small magic circle on the shore, then took out some meat, bit her finger, let a drop of blood fall, and finally took out a bone flute and began to play it.

At first, she was a little unskilled, but with Su Qing'er's guidance, Ye Qingge was soon able to play at a normal level.

Amidst the long, drawn-out sound, a gigantic head slowly emerged from the river, then stretched out its massive neck, and gradually most of its body protruded from the water. The neck and head alone were over a hundred meters high, a sight that was truly awe-inspiring.

This is a strange beast with dragon blood. Its head resembles that of a jiao (a type of dragon), its neck is long and thin, its body is covered with scales, its body is incredibly strong, and its limbs are like fish fins.

It glanced at the piece of meat on the magic circle in front of Ye Qingge. The small piece of meat was of course not worth its attention. What was most important was the blood that Ye Qingge had dripped onto the small piece of meat, which made the whole piece of meat extremely tempting to it.

It lowered its head, ate the piece of meat, and showed a look of intoxication on its face, then stretched its head in front of Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge put down the bone flute and walked to its head. Only then did the River God raise its head again, its body gradually sinking into the water, leaving only its head about three meters above the water, as it headed towards the opposite bank of the river.

"This Holy River Water God is not a real water god, but a general term for this kind of strange beast. These strange beasts have the blood of the dragon race and have a very high status in the river. My mother brought me here a few times before, and the Holy River Water God helped us cross the river. With the Holy River Water God around, we can avoid a lot of trouble."

Su Qing'er's voice was smug, practically screaming, "Come and praise me!"

With the problem of crossing the river solved, Ye Qingge didn't hold back her praise, saying, "Well done."

Su Qing'er gave a haughty hum, completely satisfied.

The water god was quite fast; even if it was just traveling leisurely, it had already moved hundreds of meters away from the shore while the two were chatting. It was estimated that it would be able to cross the river and reach the other side in less than twenty minutes.

Just then, Ye Qingge's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked back sharply. A powerful aura followed closely behind, locking onto her firmly.

At the edge of the line of sight, the trench coat-clad man they had seen at the restaurant earlier could be vaguely seen rapidly approaching.

Chapter 12 Demon God Transformation

Not only the man in the trench coat, but also several other powerful auras rushed towards Ye Qingge from all directions after him. Not only were they far away, but the perception was also vague, making it impossible to judge just how strong they were.

"I was attacked as soon as I left the city... I'm afraid these people were prepared. They couldn't act because there was a city lord in Qingzhou City, but as soon as they heard I was leaving the city, they couldn't wait to attack!"

Ye Qingge narrowed her eyes slightly and took out a small sword from the small bag on her right hand.

The small sword was no bigger than the palm of his hand, resembling a tiny dagger. A slight vibration of demonic energy was injected, and the intricate patterns on the sword lit up layer by layer. When the light faded, it had transformed into an exquisitely crafted spirit sword, which Ye Qingge placed beside her, ready to use at any moment.

Clusters of foxfire appeared out of thin air, and Ye Qingge's tail swayed slightly, with pink foxfire swirling around it, giving the entire fox a dangerous aura.

The man in the trench coat was incredibly fast. Just two hundred meters from the shore, the Holy River God had carried Ye Qingge when his figure appeared on the bank.

He casually tossed a thin branch into the river, and with a light leap, he landed steadily on the branch and crossed the river, rushing towards Ye Qingge.

A chilling killing intent swept over, and the Holy River God let out an uneasy roar, as if sensing something, and quickened his swimming speed.

The howling river wind blew up, lifting Ye Qingge's hood and causing her beautiful hair to flutter in the wind. A pair of white fox ears stood out prominently against her black hair.

She gently smoothed her hair, her eyes fixed on the approaching man in the trench coat. Suddenly sensing an impending danger, she instinctively drew her spirit sword and blocked the attack.

Swoosh

Ding

The next second, a loud bang rang out, and Ye Qingge felt a sudden weight on her hand. Her demonic power surged wildly within her body, and she barely managed to withstand the attack.

Turning her head, she saw a slender tongue emerge from beneath the river, colliding with the spirit sword. It only left a white mark, and a viscous liquid secreted from the tongue. Ye Qingge's eyelids twitched violently at the sight. She suddenly exerted her strength to fling the tongue away, and with a burst of demonic power, she shook the viscous liquid off the sword.

"Are you in such a hurry, Manager Qing?"

Ye Qingge said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven if you attack the Demon Saint Jiang?"

Not far from the Holy River God, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the river surface and rapidly expanded. In a short while, the river surface was broken open, revealing a huge frog head. Upon hearing this, it laughed and said, "As long as I can hunt foxes and offer them to the Heavenly Court, I can achieve the status of an immortal. Even if my race is wiped out, so what? I can always cultivate an even larger race."

"Your Highness, this old servant is sorry!"

Wow

Countless streams of water churned and splashed, and a huge frog gradually emerged from the water. The colossal creature, hundreds of meters long, gradually came into Ye Qingge's sight, giving people a great sense of oppression.

The Holy River God let out an uneasy roar, abruptly changing direction and trying to go around it.

The man in the trench coat who had been chasing the water god had somehow appeared in front of him, a long sword with a dragon hilt in his hand, resembling a horse-slaying blade. With a slight flick, the vast river surface was suddenly split in two. The bottom of the river, thousands of meters deep, was clearly visible below.

Su Qing'er exclaimed in surprise, gritting her teeth as she said, "It's the Sword God of the Eastern Continent!"

Ye Qingge was taken aback: "The Sword God of the Eastern Continent?"

"Back then, he was a famous swordsman in the Eastern Continent. He once fought against an immortal at the first level of the Dao Realm with his sword at the Great Perfection of the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao Realm, and won. He thus earned the name of Sword God of the Eastern Continent. However, not long after he became famous, he was suppressed by the immortals due to other matters. In the end, his cultivation was greatly damaged and he disappeared without a trace... I never expected to see the real person here. He even abandoned his sword and used a saber instead?"

Su Qing'er clearly knew the man in the trench coat who had attacked very well, and introduced him as if he were a treasure.

Ye Qingge became wary. The water god beneath her was even faster, abruptly changing direction and swimming swiftly between the woman and the frog. Its scales rippled and moved, carrying with them a large amount of demonic energy, pushing its speed to the limit.

After swimming less than a hundred meters forward, the water in front of us began to ripple again.

The vast flow of water was parted, and a giant tortoise shell gradually emerged from the surface, emanating a terrifying aura that made the water god even more uneasy.

Su Qing'er's voice carried a hint of nervousness: "It's a Xuan Turtle, said to possess the bloodline of Xuanwu, one of the few great enemies of the Water God in the Sacred River... Why would it come here?"

The water god changed direction again, and soon another aura descended.

"It's a demonic cultivator..."

Su Qing'er's voice trembled slightly.

One powerful figure after another descended. In less than ten minutes, a total of eight powerful figures arrived on the Sacred River. The weakest of the eight was a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm, and two of them had even reached the early stage of the Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao realm.

The Holy River Water God himself was only at the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm. The reason he could move freely in the Holy River was simply because he possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.

Faced with such a sight, it didn't even dare to make a sound. If Ye Qingge hadn't played the bone flute to soothe it, it would have already dived into the water to hide.

All escape routes were blocked, and eight powerful figures surrounded Ye Qingge from all directions. This was a dead end!

Ye Qingge gritted her teeth and asked in her mind, "Do you have a way to break your seal?"

"My bloodline seal is something I was born with. Only a specific cultivation technique can unlock it. If it were possible, why would I have waited until now!"

Su Qing'er's voice began to break down: "Are we...are we really going to die this time?"

Ye Qingge comforted him, "It's not certain yet. At least among these people, apart from the swordsman and Manager Qing at the beginning, the strong people who arrived didn't make a move immediately, which means they're not on good terms. Perhaps we can take advantage of them..."

The thought had barely crossed Ye Qingge's mind when Manager Qing behind her seemed to have seen through it and said with a smile, "Since you have all come here, you must all be here for the fox demon. Continuing this stalemate will only get more people involved."

"In that case, let's join forces to slay the fox demon first, and then discuss the distribution, to avoid any unforeseen complications. What do you all think?"

Su Qing'er's sense of collapse doubled instantly, gradually evolving into despair.

Ye Qingge took a deep breath and frantically activated her breathing technique to calm her mind... Calm my ass!
