182: Chapter 182 The Monster Uprising at Ten Thousand Demon Ridge
" Indeed, and he has comprehended at least three types of Rule Power. Black Sha wasn't even a match for a single move of his. "
" I originally thought that with the death of Ji Ruyao, the Silver Moon Fox Clan would decline, but I never expected such a powerful Seven-Tailed Silver Fox to emerge now. "
" Heh, I was even thinking of catching a fox girl to play with! Now it seems there's no hope for that. "
Soon, the news that the Silver Moon Fox Clan had produced a Seven-Tailed Silver Fox who killed Black Sha in one move spread throughout the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains.
Many experts who originally had designs on the Silver Moon Fox Clan hurriedly backed down.
At the same time, the fact that human experts had penetrated deep into the heart of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge and killed nine great Demon Saint experts, including Xiong Shan, also caused a huge uproar in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Experts above the Demon Saint level were dispatched one after another to search for traces of the human Martial Artists.
Even experts from several other regions were mobilized.
Demon Saint experts were the core of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge; even when attacking human base cities every year, no more than five Demon Saint experts died.
Now that nine had fallen all at once, how could they not be anxious?
" Dammit, how could there be such powerful exotic beasts in the outer perimeter? "
On the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, a hunting team composed of more than twenty Martial Artists was fleeing frantically through the dense forest, with fear written on everyone's faces.
Behind them, three mountain-sized Rank 8 Beast Kings were in hot pursuit.
The aura of the three Beast Kings was terrifying in the extreme; wherever they passed, towering ancient trees were uprooted, and the ground was trampled into deep ravines.
" Dammit! How could there be Rank 8 Beast Kings here? "
The leader of the hunting team was a middle-aged man at the Peak Martial Marquis level; his face was pale, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
He had been hunting in this area for over a dozen years and had rarely encountered exotic beasts above Rank 8.
Today, for some unknown reason, they had encountered a pursuit by three Rank 8 Beast Kings.
The team of over twenty people now had fewer than ten left.
" Ah! "
Another scream came from behind as a slower Martial Marquis was slapped into a bloody mist by a Beast King's claw.
" Scatter and run! If one can survive, that's one! "
The leader gritted his teeth and roared, turning his body and speeding off in another direction.
The remaining people scattered and fled for their lives.
But the speed of the three Rank 8 Beast Kings was too fast; within just a few breaths, three more Martial Artists died tragically under their claws.
" Help! "
A young Martial Marquis was intimidated by the Beast King's pressure, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Watching the blood-soaked maw getting closer and closer, he closed his eyes in despair.
" Boom! "
A golden sword radiance descended from the sky, instantly piercing through the head of that Rank 8 Beast King.
The Beast King's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Seeing this, the other two Beast Kings flashed a hint of fear in their eyes and turned to flee.
But could they escape?
Two more golden sword radiances tore through the sky, and the two Beast Kings fell to the ground in response.
The young Martial Marquis sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, looking at the white-clothed figure that had descended from the sky, his eyes filled with the gratitude of someone who had survived a disaster.
" Many thanks to Senior for saving my life! "
The white-clothed figure did not speak; with a wave of his hand, he collected the corpses of the three Beast Kings into his storage ring, then flashed and disappeared into the horizon.
A similar scene was playing out all over the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Those high-rank exotic beasts that had suddenly appeared on the outer perimeter seemed to be driven by some force, frantically hunting the human Martial Artists who had entered the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge for training.
In just one day, the casualties exceeded several thousand people.
The various major base cities near the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains also received news of the exotic beast movements in the Wan Yao Ridge Mountains and were shocked.
Ten Thousand Monster Ridge Pass, Garrison Commander's Council Hall.
The atmosphere was as heavy as the sky before a storm.
The Pass Garrison General, Chen Beishan, sat in the main seat with a grave expression.
Behind him hung a huge topographic map of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, densely marked with red signs; each mark represented a location where high-rank exotic beasts had appeared in the past twenty-four hours.
Sitting on the left and right sides were a dozen or so deputy generals and military advisors of the pass, each exuding a powerful aura.
The weakest among them was a Martial Venerable level expert, but at this moment, everyone's face was filled with gravity.
" Everyone, you all know the situation. "
Chen Beishan's voice was low and hoarse, his calloused hands pressed on the tabletop, his knuckles turning slightly white.
" Since yesterday, the exotic beasts of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge have begun to move abnormally. Many powerful exotic beasts have come to the outer perimeter and kill anyone they see. So far, no fewer than five thousand Martial Artists who went to the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge for exploration and training have been killed or injured. "
" Five thousand people? Does this damned Ten Thousand Demon Alliance want to launch a beast tide again? "
A burly legion commander stood up abruptly and slammed his fist on the table.
Many people also stood up, filled with righteous indignation.
This is five thousand people!
Not five thousand pigs. Although there were casualties every day among those who went out for training, it had never been like this before.
It was as if the exotic beasts were specifically retaliating against humans, killing everyone they saw.
" Alright, everyone, be prepared to fight at any time! Qinghe, Wanping, you take people to patrol the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance. If there is any abnormal movement, report to me immediately! "
Chen Beishan stood up and looked at the two Martial Saint experts sitting on the left, instructing them.
" Yes, General. "
The two stood up simultaneously, gave a military salute, and replied loudly.
Chen Beishan nodded with a serious expression and looked at the fat middle-aged man sitting at the top of the right side, " Luo Kun, you are responsible for contacting the Recruitment Department of the nearby major base cities and be ready to recruit reinforcements at any time. "
" Yes, General! "
Luo Kun's mountain-like body stood up and gave a standard military salute.
" Alright, meeting adjourned, everyone back to your duties. "
" Yes. "
Everyone stood up one after another, gave a military salute, and left the council hall in an orderly manner.
Han Ming did not know that because of him, the exotic beasts had rioted, causing many deaths and causing the garrison commanders in the Ten Thousand Monster Ridge Pass to be quite nervous.
" Young Master, thank you for avenging my mother. "
In Silver Moon Valley, after Ji Lingyue paid respects to her mother with the heads of the Tribe Leader and Black Sha, she looked at Han Ming with red eyes and said gratefully.
" Silly girl, this is what I promised you before. "
Han Ming petted her head dotingly.
He originally wanted to go to the Black Wind Wolf Clan to kill their Clan Chief, but later the Third Elder told him, and he realized that the Black Wind Wolf he had killed yesterday was the Black Wind Wolf Clan Chief who had colluded with the Tribe Leader.
" Mm! "
Ji Lingyue nodded and threw herself into his arms.
" Senior, are you really going to leave? "
In the Silver Moon Valley council hall, the Third Elder looked at Han Ming, who was sitting at the head, and asked nervously.
Now that the Silver Moon Fox Clan only had her as a Demon Saint expert, she always felt a bit uneasy.
" Mm, rest assured! With my deterrence from yesterday, no one will dare to act against the Silver Moon Fox Clan. "
Han Ming saw her anxiety, nodded, and said indifferently.
In fact, when he made a strong move yesterday to kill Black Sha, it was also with the intention of deterring everyone.
The Silver Moon Fox Clan was, after all, Ji Lingyue's clan; if they were wiped out because of him, it would ultimately be bad.
" Se-Senior, I wonder if you could stay and be our Clan Chief? I, I can be your woman, and we can develop the Silver Moon Fox Clan together. "
After saying this, the Third Elder's cheeks flushed with a faint blush, but her gaze remained fixed on Han Ming, not backing down.
As the only Demon Saint of the Silver Moon Fox Clan, the burden of the entire clan's prosperity and decline pressed on her shoulders.
Most of the clan's elites had been lost; without a strong expert to hold the fort, the Silver Moon Fox Clan would have a hard time moving a single step in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
And this young man before her, a Seven-Tailed Silver Fox, a 1-star Demon Saint who could kill an 8-star Demon Saint—if he were willing to stay, the Silver Moon Fox Clan would not only not decline, but would instead usher in unprecedented glory.
At the same time, Han Ming's Seven-Tailed Silver Fox Bloodline also held great attraction for her; through Dual Cultivation, their strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
Han Ming looked up and down at the Third Elder; her silver hair was like a waterfall, her skin like congealed fat, and a simple white dress outlined her exquisite figure.
Although he was a Transmigration, he had seen plenty of beauties on Douyin in his past life, but he had to admit that the Third Elder was the most charming woman he had ever seen.
She had a bit more mature charm than Ji Lingyue, like a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.
" Being Clan Chief is out of the question, but you becoming my woman is something I can consider. "
As Han Ming said this, he stood up and pulled the Third Elder directly into his arms.
The Third Elder's body stiffened slightly, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, and her face turned flushed with shyness.
" What, do you regret it? "
Han Ming looked down at the woman in his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The Third Elder blushed and raised her head slightly, looking directly into Han Ming's eyes.
" I do not regret it. "
Her voice was very soft, yet carried a firm strength, " Being able to be Senior's woman and serving Senior is Ru Yan's blessing. "
The Fox Clan naturally revered the strong; Han Ming was not only powerful but also a Seven-Tailed Silver Fox with a noble Bloodline, which held a fatal attraction for other fox women.
Han Ming did not speak; he lowered his head and kissed her alluring red lips.
