504: Entering Xichu, two major forces
One hour later.
The slaughter was completely over.
On Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, bodies piled up, blood flowed like rivers, a glaring crimson.
Many of The Holy Courtyard's Disciples were severely injured, their auras chaotic.
In this battle, apart from Li Ruoyu and Zhou Lianyi, everyone else was under considerable pressure, but fortunately, no one had fallen, which was a good outcome.
“.....”
Xie Weilou's figure moved, appearing before everyone.
He glanced at Ye Guhong and Qin Wuwei; their combat strength was good, capable of fighting a Huā Lóng Realm (Mid-stage) cultivator.
However, in the battle just now, they could only fight for a while; it was difficult for them to transcend their level and slaughter a Huā Lóng Realm (Mid-stage) cultivator.
Li Ruoyu and Zhou Lianyi had to assist in suppressing and killing those two Huā Lóng Realm (Mid-stage) cultivators.
Fighting above one's level was normal, but not everyone could easily transcend their level and slaughter opponents.
Xie Weilou mused, “The battle here has concluded. Go and collect the spoils of war. Don't miss Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's treasury. We will gather back here in the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn!”
“Alright!”
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and they immediately went to clear the battlefield.
After the slaughter, sharing the spoils was undoubtedly the most exciting part.
The storage rings and storage bags of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect elders they had slain, as well as the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's treasury, none of these could be overlooked.
This slaughter was definitely a huge gain.
“......”
Zhou Lianyi and the others looked deeply at Xie Weilou.
They had all witnessed Xie Weilou's actions earlier.
A Demon Clan expert at the Divine Court Realm (Early-stage) was actually shot dead by his single arrow; the scene was simply shocking.
What was slaying three Dragon Transformation Realm Peak cultivators with three strikes?
Shooting a Divine Court Realm expert with one arrow, that was truly terrifying.
Xie Weilou's strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
As for his limits, that remained unknown.
At the very least, when Xie Weilou suppressed and killed that Divine Court Realm cultivator earlier, he appeared very relaxed.
A stick of incense passed.
Everyone had finished cleaning up.
Zhou Lianyi handed a storage ring to Xie Weilou: “All the resources from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's treasury are here.”
Xie Weilou shook his head, “You all can divide these resources.”
He had obtained the storage rings of a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak cultivator and a Divine Court Realm cultivator this time, so resources would not be scarce.
“Uh… alright!”
Zhou Lianyi paused for a second, then nodded again.
Subsequently, everyone divided all the resources.
After dividing the resources.
Xie Weilou said to everyone, “Next, we're going to West Chu, but I'm only taking Li Ruoyu, Zhou Lianyi, Qin Wuwei, and Ye Guhong with me. As for the rest of you, return to The Holy Courtyard the way you came.”
The four of them were in good condition and possessed extraordinary strength, so they could accompany him to West Chu.
As for the others, they were all severely injured; going to West Chu would only be seeking death, completely unnecessary.
“......”
Upon hearing this, everyone did not feel disappointed.
After all, they knew their own limits. In their current state, going to West Chu would only be a hindrance.
“Let's go!”
Xie Weilou's figure moved, appearing on the ancient warship outside the mountain.
“......”
Zhou Lianyi and the other four quickly followed.
Xie Weilou glanced at the four, “You all should recuperate. There will be another fierce battle in West Chu.”
The four nodded, then sat down cross-legged, concentrating on recuperating.
There would definitely be a major battle in West Chu, far beyond the one they just had, so they had to recover to their optimal state.
Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and the ancient warship instantly flew into the distance...
——————
Seven days later.
The ancient warship cut through the sky, entered West Chu territory, and continuously sped forward.
Xie Weilou stood at the bow, looking ahead with a calm expression.
Zhou Lianyi and the others had already recovered to their optimal state.
Ye Guhong stood beside Xie Weilou. She mused, “Originally, West Chu had numerous sects and complex forces, but since the Demon Clan settled in West Chu, those sects and forces have been destroyed, and many cultivators have all been refined into Demon-Humans.”
“Now, West Chu has two major powers: the first is Northern Lands Demon Palace, which is where the Demon Clan resides and also their primary location for refining Demon-Humans, located thirty li north of the Chu Capital on North Demon Mountain; the second power is the West Chu Imperial Family.”
“North Demon Palace? Are there many powerful individuals?”
Xie Weilou asked.
Ye Guhong said, “According to the information Great Xia has, Northern Lands Demon Palace is mainly composed of the Centipede Clan, Tiger Clan, Lion Clan, and Nine-Life Cat Clan. These four clans have now migrated their entire clans from the Northern Demon Kingdom to West Chu.”
“Among them, the Centipede Clan's patriarch, named Centipede True Monarch, is Northern Lands Demon Palace Master. His strength is unfathomable; Great Xia has not yet ascertained it. Some speculate he might have reached the Divine Court Realm (Late-stage), or even the Divine Court Realm Peak. As for the patriarchs of the other three clans, they are all at the Divine Court Realm (Mid-stage) cultivation.”
The southern region, compared to Northern Lands, was relatively more prosperous, so the Northern Demon Clan and Devil Clan all wanted to move south.
Now that West Chu had completely fallen, since the establishment of Northern Lands Demon Palace, many Demon Clan members had moved south and settled in West Chu.
The Demon Clan was extremely cruel, drinking human blood and eating human flesh, and their strength was formidable.
In contrast, most of West Chu's common people were ordinary humans, so many West Chu citizens died at the hands of the Demon Clan.
In West Chu, the Demon Clan held an extremely high status. Apart from the Imperial Family and some special groups, ordinary common people were at the bottom of the food chain, targets for hunting.
The West Chu common people had also resisted, but their ultimate fate was either a tragic death, becoming food for the Demon Clan, or being transformed into Demon-Humans!
The West Chu Imperial Family, seeing such a situation, did not hinder it in the slightest; instead, they provided convenience for the Demon Clan, allowing them to continuously refine Demon-Humans.
“What about the West Chu Imperial Family?”
Xie Weilou continued to ask.
Ye Guhong said, “The Imperial Family is led by the Chu Emperor and the Imperial Advisor Huang Xu. The strength of these two is also unfathomable; they rarely act, so their exact cultivation is unknown, but it should be Divine Court Realm.”
“The Chu Emperor was willing to let the Demon Clan settle in West Chu seemingly because the Demon Clan could help him rapidly increase his cultivation. As for Imperial Advisor Huang Xu, he comes from Ten Thousand Demons Gate and is a weasel. The Demon Clan's settlement in West Chu is half his doing.”
“There are quite a few Divine Court Realm cultivators in West Chu.”
Xie Weilou showed a pensive expression.
An existence that even the West Chu Sword Immortal found difficult to deal with must at least be Divine Court Realm (Late-stage), or possibly even Divine Court Realm Peak.
The most formidable ones should be Centipede True Monarch, the Chu Emperor, and Imperial Advisor Huang Xu.
Ye Guhong shook her head, “Before the Northern Demon Clan settled in West Chu, West Chu only had two Divine Court Realm cultivators: one was the West Chu Sword Immortal, and the other was the West Chu Protector God General. Now, that Protector God General should have also reached Divine Court Realm (Mid-stage) cultivation.”
“Let's go to the Chu Capital first and see!”
Xie Weilou said with a calm expression.
Whether it was the Imperial Family or Northern Lands Demon Palace, since they had come to West Chu, they would deal with them all.
“Mm! I'll control the warship.”
Ye Guhong nodded lightly.
Then she formed hand seals, and the warship quickly rushed forward. It would still take a day to reach the Chu Capital...
