Chapter 131: Demon Reappears

Chu Qing’s lips were trembling.

The women who surrounded her stared at her eagerly.

After a long while, Chu Qing uttered with much difficulty, “It’s a note from Sir!”

She squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

“That’s great news! Sir is still alive.”

“Sir must have been the one who destroyed the old man from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground,” A’mu said, jumping up and down excitedly.

“You don’t say,” Bai Lian rolled her eyes.

“Since Sir is still alive, let’s…” One of them said embarrassedly with paper money in their hand.

“Let’s burn it anyway! Sir seems to have a lot of grievances!” Gongsun Yang said, staring at the tombstone.

“If we burn it, Sir will only have more grievances.”

“Yes. We shouldn’t burn things like paper money and paper houses here.”

The group of them relaxed significantly.

They were very relived that Sir was still alive.

“I’ll go tell Tingting about this,” said Gongsun Qiuyue.

After speaking, he swiftly disappeared.

…

Inside a certain cave…

A human-bat figure flew by.

And landed in front of a red figure.

A raspy voice from inside the dark cave said, “Master, I have found where His Highness is.”

“Can you find a way to enter that place?” the red figure asked.

“I have found an entrance, but…”

“But what?”

“Only two hundred people can enter.”

“Two hundred people is enough. They’re just humans! Make the necessary arrangements immediately and help me take my revenge.”

…

In the desert of the West Continent…

Holding the compass, Li Mu walked for two thousand miles. But then, the needle of the compass started to spin around randomly.

“Luckily, I brought another five compasses with me.”

Once the needle of the compass spun around inconsistently in random directions, it meant that there was a magnetic field intervention.

Li Mu thought that if he brought along five compasses, they couldn’t possibly all show the wrong direction at the same time!

Fortunately, he had brought so many compasses along with him.

Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble now.

Four compasses pointed towards the same direction while one pointed towards a different direction.

After correcting the error, Li Mu turned and flew back.

He followed the markings he had left behind and managed to find his way home. The five compasses were now all pointing in the same direction.

“What’s going on? Why would one of the compasses be inconsistent with the others?”

According to what he had learned, when encountering a magnetic field, all compasses would deflect in different directions.

But why were only four of them pointing in the same direction and one in a different direction?

How weird!

He had a feeling that there was something strange going on.

“I’ve used so many compasses before but nothing like this has happened before. Why are they failing me here?”

The desert of the West Continent was really not as simple as he had imagined.

Staring at the desert, a trace of worry crossed Li Mu’s eyes.

It was very weird. Too weird.

He had seen compasses become defective before, but he had never seen the compasses become defective and still point in the same direction.

Turning around, Li Mu returned back to the Qianyuan Sacred Ground to look for the classics.

“After the demons invaded, the West Continent became a desert.”

This world was really in deep trouble!

A demon invasion?

This must be the monsters that Xu Xiao was talking about!

The Qianyuan Holy Land had been destroyed many years ago and many classic literature in the Forbidden Ground were destroyed as well.

This was all he could find from the classics.

“How useless! It doesn’t even have as much information as Xu Xiao.”

Throwing the books to one side, Li Mu rushed towards the North Continent.

Inside the Temple of War’s library, Li Mu flipped through the classics.

There weren’t many records about the West Continent.

In summary, the West Continent had been invaded and destroyed by some kind of evil.

“Some kind of evil?”

The records of that time were not very detailed.

It was very different from the classics in the Qianyuan Sacred Ground!

Suddenly, more than two hundred black shadows appeared in the desert of the West Continent.

“The prenatal qi is so weak here. How can there be a warrior who is capable of killing the Fifth Prince here?” The leader had two black hairs growing on his ears.

“It must have used some underhanded means!”

“Let’s find where they are first,” said the black shadow with hairy ears.

“Leader, there is no one here.”

The leader knitted his eyebrows tightly.

Surprisingly, there was no one here.

“Then search this place!”

“Leader, we are not familiar with this place. It’s better not to split up!”

“What are you afraid of? With such weak prenatal qi here, what threat can there be? We need to complete the task assigned by Master.” The leader frowned angrily.

He felt very uneasy in this part of the world.

If it weren’t for the mission, he wouldn’t have chosen to be here.

It was best if they could finish the task and leave quickly.

“Okay!”

Twenty people quickly spread out.

The search went on for a long time.

“What’s going on?”

After waiting for a long time, the leader started to feel anxious.

How was it possible that all twenty of them couldn’t find anyone?

And even if they couldn’t find anyone, they should be back by now!

“Perhaps they got lost or are delayed by something,” the deputy leader next to him said.

“Let’s not wait for them anymore. We’ll look for it ourselves.”

The leader felt very uneasy by these strange surroundings, and he didn’t dare to split the group up any further.

After reading the books in the Temple of War’s library for two months, Li Mu finally came out.

“I don’t believe it. I will bring ten compasses with me this time!”

Li Mu took some prenatal stones from the Temple of War and headed to the West Continent again.

More than thirty shadows appeared at the border of the desert in the West Continent.

Everyone had chapped lips and dry skin.

Their black skin was covered with yellow dust.

They were very disheveled!

Their eyes were all bloodshot.

“What the hell is wrong with this place!” The leader roared angrily.

They kept getting lost along the way.

More importantly, there wasn’t a lot of prenatal qi here for them to replenish their energy.

Fortunately, he had brought enough men.

There were more than two hundred people. Other than the first twenty people who had gone missing, the remaining one hundred and fifty people were all absorbed by them to nourish themselves.

There were more people absorbed by them than those who had gone missing.

“After I leave, I will never come back to a place like this again,” said the deputy leader.

So many of them had died just to avenge the Fifth Prince.

A gust of wind blew past.

They all paused in their footsteps.

What they feared the most was the wind.

Whenever there was a strong wind in this desert, they couldn’t see anything.

After the wind passed, the surrounding scenery changed and they didn’t know where they were anymore.

“Huh?”

There was a hint of sweetness in the breeze.

In addition to the sweetness, there seems to be a trace of prenatal qi.

“Leader, we seem to have come out…”

“Quick, follow the wind!” The leader took a deep breath and flew away in direction of the wind.

When the other nine people saw this, eyes red, they used the last traces of their prenatal qi and followed him.

As long as there was prenatal qi, their situation would improve.

Where there is prenatal qi, there might be warriors.

And with warriors, they could absorb their blood essence to nourish themselves.

Whoosh!

The sky was filled with shadows flying past.

At the border of the West Continent’s desert…

In a sand bunker, more than fifty desert bandits had gathered together.

“Boss, when shall we go back to Zhongzhou?”

“Prepare yourself. We’ll go back shortly.”

This group of desert bandits was composed of warriors who had escaped from Zhongzhou.

With the chaos in Zhongzhou, staying there was a death wish.

So, after looting the area, they immediately fled and hid in this deserted place, waiting for the chaos to be over.

“Okay!” The group of desert bandits cheered.

Half a day later, the group of people brought along some roughly-made weapons and flew towards Zhongzhou.

Not long after, he saw ten black shadows in front of him blocking the way.

“Oh no! They are demons! Run!”

Seeing these dark shadows, their boss was taken aback for a moment. Then, he shouted as he turned and ran.
