Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Finally, unable to bear the disturbance any longer, Dongfang Huaizhu, citing the need to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion in order to achieve a breakthrough, resolutely left the now-controversial Shenhuo Mountain Villa with his younger sister Dongfang Qinlan and went straight to Qingyun Peak, a sacred place in the hearts of cultivators all over the world.

Qingyun Peak is the Daoist temple of Qin Chuan, the ancestral home of cultivation recognized by the human race, and a symbol of supreme majesty.

Even the most arrogant and domineering scions of noble families, upon reaching the foot of this misty mountain, have to restrain all their arrogance, become well-behaved, and dare not be the slightest bit presumptuous. They can only gaze at the peak with longing and return disappointed.

The two Dongfang sisters then temporarily settled in a secluded and elegant house halfway up Qingyun Peak.

The younger sister, Dongfang Qinlan, was extremely adaptable and quickly became familiar with some of the more lively cultivators on the peak. Every day, she would either be thinking about developing all sorts of novel recipes, exploring and playing all over the mountains and fields, or enthusiastically pestering others to exchange spells. She lived a carefree and happy life.

Her elder sister, Dongfang Huaizhu, was much quieter. She rarely went out and spent most of her time meditating in her room or strolling alone through the misty mountain paths. Sometimes she would sit on a blue stone, gazing at the ethereal sea of ​​clouds and the distant, faintly visible peaks, where the cave dwelling, which had been sealed off by powerful restrictions for many years, was quietly lost in thought.

Did she come here to escape the suffocating troubles down the mountain, or to see that fleeting figure who saved her family from danger but then disappeared without a trace?

The thoughts behind this are complex and subtle, perhaps even she herself cannot fully understand them.

Time passed quietly, and in the cultivation world, a legend about the "two messengers who reward good and punish evil" spread more and more widely, becoming more and more fantastical.

These two envoys are elusive and mysterious, and their methods are ruthless and unpredictable. They specifically target notorious and heinous criminals who have been able to escape justice due to their own strength or powerful background.

Whether it's the direct descendants of noble families in the Dao Alliance who bully men and women by relying on their illustrious family backgrounds, cultivate vicious and evil arts to harm living beings, or the demon kings in the Demon Alliance who are cruel and take pleasure in torture and devouring, ruling the darkness.

Once targeted by these two envoys, no matter how heavily guarded a fortress or cave they hide in, they will eventually disappear without a trace, as if completely erased from the world, leaving no trace behind.

According to legend, the two envoys are a human and a demon, and both are women.

The human woman was slender and graceful, always covered by a cloak, so her true face was never seen. Her Taoist magic was exquisite and profound. Although she used the widely circulated and learnable Qingyun Taoist magic, its power and control far exceeded imagination. Its mystery was beyond comprehension, and it was impossible to determine her true lineage or origin.

Another demon girl, whose figure seemed not to have fully grown up yet and was somewhat immature, was terrifying when she fought. Her pure ice-type demon power was vast and boundless. With a wave of her hand, she could freeze hundreds of miles and freeze souls. Ordinary demon kings could not last more than three moves against her before turning into crystal ice sculptures.

These mysterious "two envoys who reward good and punish evil" are naturally Li Muchen and her unexpected "partner" Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Under the guise of "punishing evil," Li Muchen was actually "collecting" materials, openly and legitimately selecting and acquiring the highest quality "materials" for her grand experiment, extracting the last bit of value from the dregs of humanity and perfectly integrating them into Jin Chenxi's cultivation.

At first, she worked alone, was extremely efficient, acted cleanly and decisively, and never made a mistake.

One day, unable to bear the loneliness, Tu Shan Ya Ya came to Qingyun Peak to find Qin Chuan to play. While wandering around aimlessly out of boredom, she accidentally discovered Li Muchen's shady "side job".

Xiao Yaya immediately felt that this "acting on behalf of Heaven" was a thousand times more interesting and exciting than staying in Tushan and facing those mountains of documents that made her dizzy, or training those clumsy and slow-reacting Silver Moon Guards. So she pestered and begged to join.

Qin Chuan was so bothered by this little devil that he couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that she really had too much energy to release, and with the calm and cautious Li Muchen watching over and guiding her from the side, he figured that nothing serious would happen, so he finally acquiesced.

Thus, the lone "Envoy of Punishment" was officially upgraded to a well-coordinated "Envoy of Reward and Envoy of Punishment" duo.

Li Muchen was responsible for using his powerful divine sense and deductive abilities to locate targets, formulate meticulous action plans, and efficiently and "environmentally friendly" dispose of the "materials" afterwards.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's main responsibility is to charge ahead and fight to her heart's content!

She crushed all obstacles with absolute strength, and then used her increasingly powerful ice-type magic to perfectly freeze and capture the target alive, which greatly facilitated Li Muchen's subsequent "transportation" and "processing".

Several years passed quickly as the two women worked diligently and achieved remarkable results in their "rewarding good and punishing evil" campaign.

Countless monstrous and wicked people who had been entrenched in their communities were completely eradicated, and the morals of the world were secretly brought to a more upright state.

Meanwhile, the golden giant egg in Li Muchen's hidden cave finally reached the critical point of dual saturation in energy and form after absorbing immeasurable high-quality "nutrients" and undergoing thousands of precise adjustments and optimizations.

On this day, the darkness inside the secret cave was completely dispelled by the sudden surge of golden light. The golden giant egg, which had been pulsating for a long time, emitted a muffled roar like an ancient war drum. Countless cracks appeared on its surface, and the terrifying life fluctuations inside crashed against all the restrictions like a tsunami!

Li Muchen held his breath, his pupils reflecting the terrifying creation with the power of a demon emperor about to hatch, his heart pounding wildly with excitement and anticipation.

The creation that Master demanded, comparable to the Demon Emperor, is about to be born into the world!

Chapter 36 Mutian City Appears

Inside the secret cave of Qingyun Peak, the golden giant egg throbbed more violently, cracks spreading as if it would completely collapse at any moment, releasing the terrifying creation within that was comparable to a demon emperor.

Li Muchen's breath almost stopped, all his attention focused on the "masterpiece" that was about to be completed, his eyes sparkling with the fervor and pride of a creator.

At this crucial moment, a strange message, not delivered through ordinary means, was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, precisely and simultaneously reflected in the minds of almost all the powerful demon kings in the world.

The message originated from a mysterious being who called himself "Lord of Mutian City," and its simple content was enough to stir up a massive wave in the demon realm:

All demon kings are cordially invited to gather in Mutian City, located in the northern mountains. At that time, he will demonstrate the great power to resurrect living beings. Whether they are human or demon, they can all be reborn!

These two words possess an unimaginable magic.

The reincarnation and continuation of the love story of the Bitter Love Tree of Tushan is subject to harsh conditions and unpredictable outcomes, which has long been a source of regret and longing for countless demon kings who have lost their loved ones for thousands of years.

Now, there are other methods that claim to achieve or even surpass the effects of the Bitter Love Tree?

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

In an instant, a demonic wind arose, and countless powerful demon kings, filled with doubt yet unable to suppress their anticipation, set off from all directions, transforming into streaks of light, heading straight for Mutian City in the North Mountain.

This even included Fan Yunfei, one of the four great demon emperors and the number one expert in the Western Regions.

Almost at the same time, outside the elegant residence halfway up Qingyun Peak, Mr. Fei, the old steward of Wangquan Manor, solemnly found Wangquan Baye, who was in seclusion there cultivating his sword intent and becoming increasingly profound.

He brought news that sent a shockwave through all the masked members:

The Dao Alliance's secret treasure, that jet-black spirit stone left behind by the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, has been stolen!

Even more bizarrely, thanks to the secret tracking spell left on the spirit stone by the Dao Alliance's predecessors, the thief's hiding place was finally determined to be none other than the very city that was attracting the attention of all demons—Mutian City!

The senior members of the Dao Alliance felt that this matter was extremely strange. The coincidence of the resurrection of Mu Tiancheng and the theft of the spirit stone, with their highly overlapping time and place, must have hidden a huge conspiracy.

After an emergency discussion, it was decided that the more experienced members would personally enter Mutian City to investigate the truth, while the masked ten-person group, including Wang Quanba Ye, who had surpassed their predecessors in strength, would provide support from the outside in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Meanwhile, Mr. Fei had another important mission on this trip: to persuade Qin Chuan, the pillar of the human race, to step in and oversee the situation.

However, according to Qin Chuan's eldest disciple, Qin Li, their master had already left the mountain to travel several days ago and his whereabouts were unknown.

Helpless, Mr. Fei had no choice but to take this message with him and Wang Quanba Ye and his masked gang brothers and hurriedly leave to go to Beishan to make arrangements.

Unbeknownst to them, Qin Chuan was not traveling, but was already in Mutian City, the eye of the storm.

This suddenly rising city, along with the bait of "resurrection," was all part of a game he orchestrated.

The goal is to attract as many high-level experts from both the human and demon races as possible here, so that they can personally experience the terrifying power of "Golden Dawn," which originates from beings outside the circle and is capable of eroding minds and manipulating spirits!

Only through visceral pain can they truly realize the horror of the threats from outside the circle, thus laying the most solid foundation for the necessary reconciliation between the two races.

At the highest point of Mutian City, in a secluded pavilion, Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the various demon kings who were gathering in increasing numbers and exuding demonic aura in the city below.

The space around him rippled slightly, and Li Muchen's figure appeared, his face flushed with barely suppressed excitement.

"Master, look! Fan Yunfei has come too! And there are so many powerful demon kings with immense demonic power!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement:

"Although my creation has been successfully cultivated, if it can absorb the immense demonic power of these top demon kings as its final nourishment, it will surely reach an unprecedented level of perfection! It may even surpass the four great demon emperors!"

Qin Chuan's gaze remained calm as he swept over the restless demon kings in the city, some driven by desire, others by doubt. Finally, he looked at the Dao Alliance members who were rapidly approaching from afar.

All the pieces are in place.

As the last demon king, who had received the invitation and hesitated for a long time before finally stepping through the city gate, disappeared around the street corner, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

"Let's begin."

Li Muchen's fervor intensified, and his figure vanished from the pavilion in an instant.

The next moment, on the high platform of the central square of Mutian City, a figure shrouded in a wide cloak, whose face could not be seen, appeared out of thin air, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Before the many anxious demon kings below could ask questions or plead, "Lord Mutian City" Li Muchen raised his hands directly.

In an instant, countless golden runes that had been arranged beforehand lit up on the ground, walls, and even in the air throughout the entire Mutian City!

The Golden Dawn Liquid, as viscous as molten gold and shimmering with an ominous light, surged out from all directions, instantly engulfing the entire square and spreading throughout the city at an astonishing speed!

"What's this?!"

"My body! I can't move!"

"My consciousness... is so confused..."

Screams and angry roars rose and fell, but soon fell silent again.

Most of the demon kings didn't even have time to react before they were completely eroded and controlled by the all-pervasive Golden Dawn that specifically targeted their spirit and demonic power. Their eyes quickly became dull and empty, and they stood frozen in the golden sea like puppets.

Only Fan Yunfei, though not at his peak due to his reincarnation and continued destiny, was saved by his demon emperor-level essence and the instinctive reaction of his sand control ability.

At the critical moment, he suddenly whipped up a cloud of yellow sand, forming a solid barrier that temporarily blocked the invasion of the golden dawn. At the same time, he grabbed his secretary Xiaoli beside him and transformed into a sandstorm, narrowly escaping the boundaries of Mutian City.

Far outside the city, the sandstorm dissipated. Fan Yunfei, having exhausted his demonic power in the instantaneous burst, reverted to his small, earth-yellow sand fox form, lying weakly on the ground.

He anxiously called out to Xiaoli:

"Quick! Go to the Northern Mountain Demon Kingdom and find Shi Kuan! Tell him everything that happened here! Hurry!"

Xiaoli dared not delay and quickly disappeared, turning into a wisp of yellow sand.

In his sand fox form, Fan Yunfei struggled to regulate his breathing, attempting to recover a sliver of strength as quickly as possible.

Just then, a short, smiling figure silently appeared beside him, curiously observing the Mu Tian City shrouded in golden light in the distance.

It was Gao Daqiang, the incarnation of the third young master of Aolai Kingdom.

"Tsk tsk, you always surprise me."

The third young master spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he were watching an interesting drama.

Fan Yunfei was startled and looked warily at the "child" who had appeared out of nowhere. Although his demonic power was exhausted, his senses were still intact, but he could not see through the other party at all.

The third young master seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said with a grin:

"Don't be nervous, Fan Yunfei. Seeing how desperately you ran out, I might as well tell you some news to put your mind at ease. This whole drama inside was orchestrated by Qin Chuan himself."

"What? Qin Chuan? It's him?!"

Fan Yunfei was speechless, his slightly comical fox face filled with disbelief.

Why would a human half-master plot such a conspiracy against the demon race?

"Otherwise what?" The third young master shook his head. "Who do you think could be so extravagant as to create such a genuine 'outsider' thing? Even the act of luring you into a trap and asking your little secretary for help was probably part of his plan. Just watch and see, the show has only just begun."

Fan Yunfei was greatly shocked, but looking at the Third Young Master's unfathomable yet seemingly harmless appearance, he temporarily suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked at Mu Tiancheng with some doubt.

Just then, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from the horizon!

A dozen powerful human sword lights and magical artifacts sped over and landed steadily in the sky not far from Mutian City.

It was Wang Quanba Ye and Mr. Fei who led many experts of the Dao Alliance.

They immediately spotted the eerie, writhing golden "city" outside the city, as well as the demons at the city gate, controlled by golden slime, with empty eyes and statue-like forms. All of them wore solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Holding the Wangquan Sword, Wang Quanba's gaze was sharp as lightning as he locked onto the eerie golden light soaring into the sky and the chaotic yet powerful energy fluctuations within Mutian City.
