515: The North Demon Mountain is destroyed and it returns to the West Xuan

Boom!

The heaven suppressing stele slammed into North Demon Mountain, shaking the heavens and earth, extinguishing all life, and blasting the massive North Demon Mountain into dust.

Tens of thousands of Demon-Humans were turned to ashes, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed.

North Demon Mountain was leveled, leaving a giant crater in the ground, from which thick smoke billowed, covering the sky, with the heaven suppressing stele standing tall in the center of the crater.

For a hundred miles around, the ground continuously trembled and cracked, with numerous mountains showing fissures.

"That's incredibly powerful!"

Xie Weilou exclaimed, a look of awe in his eyes.

This heaven suppressing stele was so astonishingly potent; even if its true might was difficult to fully wield, using it to smash people was incredibly effective, at the very least, it could certainly kill a Divine Court Realm cultivator without any issue.

"......"

The demonic energy on Xie Weilou quickly dissipated, and the heaven suppressing stele flew out of the deep pit, returning once more to the depths of his soul.

"The Hall Master has been suppressed and killed, and our clan has been annihilated. Everyone, flee quickly."

A Dragon Transformation Realm Demon-Human looked terrified and fled for his life.

"Can you escape?"

Chu Wujiang, who was overseeing the battle, coldly shouted, and a surge of power instantly sealed off the heavens and earth. None of the Demon-Humans present today would escape.

If he were to act, these sixteen Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators would be annihilated in an instant.

However, Xie Weilou had brought these young people here, clearly intending for them to gain experience, so there was no need for him to intervene.

These disciples of the Holy Academy were all extremely formidable; facing opponents of the same realm, they would certainly have no problem.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, standing not far away, watching Yan Ruyu and the others fight. Their battle shouldn't last too long.

In a flash.

Half an incense stick had passed.

Yan Ruyu struck with overwhelming force, and the eight Dragon Transformation Realm Demon-Humans before her were all suppressed and killed. She collected eight storage rings, then flicked her finger, sending eight demon cores flying towards Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou didn't stand on ceremony and directly collected the demon cores.

Boom!

On the other side, Zhou Lianyi and the others' battle had already concluded.

They each faced two Demon-Humans of the same realm. Although they were under immense pressure, relying on some of their trump cards, they successfully slew all eight remaining early and mid-stage Dragon Transformation Realm Demon-Humans.

At this moment, Zhou Lianyi and the four of them all had some injuries and were greatly exhausted. Their expressions were weary, but their faces bore smiles. This battle was even more exhilarating.

The four of them collected four storage rings, which were their spoils of war, surely containing many good things.

Then, with a flick of their sleeves, four demon cores flew towards Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou collected the demon cores, looked at everyone, and said with a faint smile, "This battle was well fought. Prepare yourselves; we can head back now."

As he said this, he looked at Chu Wujiang: "The Royal Family and North Demon Hall, these two forces have already been dealt with. The remaining matters are for your West Chu to resolve. I hope that in the future, West Chu and Great Xia will no longer have wars."

With the Royal Family and North Demon Hall already annihilated, West Chu would need a considerable amount of time to recover its vitality.

It certainly wouldn't start another war with Great Xia in the short term.

Thus, the Zhenxi Army could remain safe.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and said, "For today's matter, many thanks, Marquis Zhenxi. West Chu owes you a favor, and I also hope that West Chu and Great Xia will have no more wars!"

Within West Chu, there were still some Demon-Humans remaining, and many Demon-Humans, but with the Royal Family and North Demon Hall annihilated, the remaining presences wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.

The current West Chu could be described as broken and shattered; it couldn't avoid the mundane and still needed a controller to quickly grasp the overall situation.

Previously, Wang Ruoxu had highly favored Nightingale; perhaps it was time to consider letting Nightingale ascend to power.

Xie Weilou flicked his sleeve, and the Overlord's Cauldron flew towards Yan Ruyu: "You are to give this cauldron to Nightingale and tell her that the Overlord of West Chu was a hero. West Chu should be the West Chu of heroes, not the West Chu of demons!"

"Good! I will certainly relay your words."

Yan Ruyu calmly collected the Overlord's Cauldron.

Xie Weilou looked at Zhou Lianyi and the others, smiling faintly, "Next, follow me to Xi Xuan Pass."

"Mm!"

Zhou Lianyi and the others nodded with smiles.

Li Ruoyu summoned the warship.

Xie Weilou and the others boarded the warship and sailed into the distance.

"......"

Yan Ruyu looked at the distant warship, a complex expression in her eyes. The world was vast, and one could not stay in one corner; she had to explore it.

Perhaps she would have to return to Great Xia to see her imperial concubine, and then depart again.

--------

Seven days later.

Xi Xuan Pass.

"Marquis! That's the Marquis!"

On the City wall, a soldier's face lit up with joy when he saw Xie Weilou on the warship.

"It really is the Marquis! The Marquis has come to Xi Xuan Pass."

The other soldiers also had expressions of pleasant surprise upon seeing Xie Weilou.

"Quickly open the City gates and respectfully welcome the Marquis into the City!"

Yang Xiu and the others appeared, their expressions invigorated and immensely excited when they saw Xie Weilou.

The City gates immediately opened.

Xie Weilou and the others flew down.

"Greetings, Marquis!"

Yang Xiu and the others all bowed to Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "No need for formalities. Let's enter the City and talk. I have some things to tell you."

"Understood!"

Yang Xiu and the others nodded repeatedly.

In the City.

Inside a grand hall.

Fine wine and delicious food were laid out, their rich aroma making one's mouth water.

Xie Weilou held a cup of wine and said to Yang Xiu and the others, "Previously, we entered West Chu and annihilated the West Chu Royal Family and North Demon Hall. It's likely that for a long time to come, West Chu and Great Xia will no longer wage war, and you will also have more peace."

"What? Marquis... you... you annihilated the West Chu Royal Family and North Demon Hall?"

Yang Xiu and the others were greatly astonished.

Hadn't West Chu and Great Xia been constantly warring all these years precisely because of the existence of the Royal Family and North Demon Hall?

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "No need to be too shocked; this matter will spread very quickly. The reason I came here this time is actually to tell you something else, which is that I will be leaving Great Xia in the future and will no longer be in charge of the Zhenxi Army. No matter what happens in the future, I hope the Zhenxi Army can uphold its original intention and protect the peace of our Great Xia."

Yang Xiu and the others, upon hearing this, did not feel disheartened. A person like the Marquis, so extraordinary, Great Xia certainly couldn't confine him.

A dragon, naturally, must fly into the nine heavens and roam the world!

Everyone bowed to Xie Weilou, their expressions solemn as they said, "No matter what, we will always be soldiers of the Zhenxi Marquis Manor. We will definitely guard Great Xia forever and protect the peace of our Great Xia, absolutely not disgracing the Marquis."

Xie Weilou nodded gently, "Well said! Today, everyone, drink a few more cups. This Marquis will return to Tianqi tomorrow."

"Good."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly raised their wine cups to toast Xie Weilou.

In a flash.

One day passed.

Xie Weilou further reinforced the formations of Xi Xuan Pass, setting up numerous Restriction to make it even more impregnable.

Even if a Divine Court came here, it would be very difficult to break through this City, thus also protecting the Zhenxi Army.

After completing all this, Xie Weilou, under the gaze of the assembled soldiers, departed with Zhou Lianyi and the others...
