381: Chapter 381 The More You Kill, the More Destructive Beasts There Are

The experts of the Qinghe Sect were working hard to slay the Destruction Beasts.

But the situation in Yanlong City did not improve much.

Because the number of Destruction Beasts was growing too quickly.

At the same time, after devouring a large number of humans, some Destruction Beasts began to give birth to offspring one after another.

After devouring humans, the young Destruction Beasts would reach adulthood in an extremely short period of time.

Therefore, the more of these Destruction Beasts they killed, the more there seemed to be.

"Sect Master, we can't go on like this. We simply cannot kill all of these demons!"

A Vice Sect Master teleported to Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue's side and said while slaying the Destruction Beasts, "I've discovered that these demons are too bizarre. Not only can they reproduce, but as long as their offspring devour a certain number of humans, they will rapidly reach adulthood!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue asked.

The Vice Sect Master said, "First, ask the Qingding Sect for help. Second, order the twelve Hall Masters to stop fighting the enemies and instead evacuate the residents from the city!"

"Alright!"

Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue nodded and immediately ordered the twelve Nascent Soul Level 9 experts to quickly rescue the city's residents and evacuate them!

The twelve Nascent Soul Level 9 experts immediately took their orders and acted.

When Sect Master Luo Jue and the others noticed that the Qinghe Sect was evacuating the residents, they immediately rushed over to help.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.

Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue panted heavily and said, "Everyone, retreat. We've done our best!"

With the number of Destruction Beasts only growing as they killed them,

she and the two Soul Transformation Vice Sect Masters could no longer hold them back.

Even though she had taken Medicinal Pills to replenish herself, the magic power in her Primordial Spirit was already at less than thirty percent.

As for the residents in the city,

under the combined efforts of the twelve Nascent Soul Level 9 experts, Sect Master Luo Jue, and the others,

only a little over a hundred thousand people had been evacuated.

Meanwhile, the number of Destruction Beasts had already exceeded one million, reaching over 1.3 million.

The number of Destruction Beasts that Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue and the other two had managed to kill together was only a little over ten thousand.

Once all the food in the city had been devoured,

the three humanoid demons began controlling the millions of Destruction Beasts to march toward the next city.

The three humanoid demons had no intention of paying any attention to Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue and her group.

However, Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue and the others did not retreat.

Instead, they kept following behind the army of Destruction Beasts, recovering their magic power while waiting for the people from the Qingding Sect to arrive.

Finally,

after more than fifteen minutes had passed,

the people from the Qingding Sect arrived.

Only three people had come.

However, all of them were in the Spirit Severing Realm.

One was at the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9,

and two were at Spirit Severing Stage Level 7.

"Greetings, Sect Master Xie!" Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue led her people to pay their respects.

As it turned out, this Spirit Severing Stage Level 9 expert was none other than Xie Tianlai, the Sect Master of the Qingding Sect.

"Sect Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Please brief us on the situation with these demons," Xie Tianlai said, waving his hand.

Subsequently, Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue gave a detailed account of the situation regarding the Destruction Beasts.

After listening, Xie Tianlai said thoughtfully, "As expected, these demons are being controlled by those three humanoid demons. I will go and slay those three humanoid demons right now!"

"Sect Master Xie, please be careful. Those three humanoid demons give me an unfathomable feeling!" Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue warned.

"I am aware!"

Xie Tianlai was somewhat dismissive in his heart.

Transforming into a beam of sword light, he shot forward and appeared in the sky above the army of Destruction Beasts, quickly locking onto the three humanoid demons.

"Slash!"

Using his hand as a sword, he slashed downward.

Instantly, a hundred-zhang-long sword glow materialized.

"A mere fifth-tier creature dares to strike at us!"

Looking at the hundred-zhang sword glow falling toward them, Nie's lips curled into a faint, disdainful sneer.

Immediately after,

he vanished into thin air from atop a Destruction Beast.

"Pfft!"

When he reappeared, he was right behind Xie Tianlai. With a single punch, he pierced through Xie Tianlai's body, leaving a gaping hole.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the fist protruding from his chest, Xie Tianlai was filled with both shock and terror.

A Low Grade Treasure Artifact Flying Sword flew out from behind him, stabbing toward Nie's chest.

"Clang!"

The Low Grade Treasure Artifact-tier Flying Sword struck Nie's chest, only to be deflected away.

It failed to leave even the slightest mark.

"I'll eat you!"

In the next instant, Nie opened his mouth and inhaled.

Xie Tianlai was swallowed whole into Nie's stomach.

"Ah! Sect Master!"

Seeing this scene, the two Spirit Severing Stage Level 7 experts from the Qingding Sect couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

At that moment, Nie turned his head to look back.

That cold gaze made the scalps of the two Spirit Severing Stage Level 7 experts tingle with numbness.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, Nie teleported back into the army of Destruction Beasts.

Meanwhile, the army of Destruction Beasts set off toward the next city at an extremely rapid pace.

"Senior Brother Gao, the strength of these three humanoid demons has already surpassed the Soul Transformation Stage. This is no longer something we can handle. I'm afraid even our two Old Ancestors are no match for them. We must ask the Haiyue Sect for help!"

One of the Spirit Severing Stage Level 7 experts said.

Their Qingding Sect was a subordinate Sect of the Haiyue Sect.

Every year, they had to pay a large amount of tribute to the Haiyue Sect.

Now that they had run into trouble, they naturally had to ask the Haiyue Sect for aid.

"Sect Master Zhang, we will leave the task of keeping an eye on these demons to you. We shall head back and request assistance from the Haiyue Sect!"

Leaving behind those words,

the two Soul Transformation experts transformed into beams of light and vanished.

"Sect Master, should we follow?"

One of the Vice Sect Masters of the Qinghe Sect asked. To be honest, seeing that humanoid demon swallow Xie Tianlai in one bite had left him somewhat terrified.

"As long as we don't attack those three humanoid demons, they shouldn't make a move against us. Let's keep following them!"

Although Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue also wanted to retreat,

it was no longer a matter of whether she wanted to retreat or not.

"By the way, what city is in the direction those demons are heading?" she suddenly asked.

"Sect Master Zhang, five hundred miles ahead is a city named Donghu. Its population is around five million!" Sect Master Luo Jue replied.

Sect Leader Zhang Qingyue looked at one of the Vice Sect Masters. "Take a detour to Donghu City and have the people there evacuate as quickly as possible!"

Time flew by.

Soon, it was the next morning.

After having breakfast,

Chen Hu pulled up his System panel.

He glanced at it.

A night had passed.

The number of his underlings had increased by quite a bit again.

It had already reached 15.459 billion.

Clearly, there were still several hundred million people who had not yet submitted to him.

However, he could understand why.

Among the ten billion people his five tools had abducted, there were still quite a few Martial Artists.

With their powerful martial strength, these Martial Artists were still superior beings even in a place like the Heavenly Demon Domain.

Now that they had arrived in the Small World,

they had actually been relegated to the same status as ordinary people.

How could they possibly feel comfortable about this in their hearts?

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't submit so quickly.

Chen Hu didn't care about this either.

He would observe them for a bit first. If they still didn't submit after a long time, he would just kick them out.

In any case, whether they were ordinary people or Martial Artists, it was all the same to him.

They could only provide him with a single underling point.

After breakfast,

Chen Hu went back to lie down on the lounge chair in the yard, pulling out a classic novel to flip through.

But before long,

someone knocked on his Formation.

Chen Hu swept his Divine Sense across.

He discovered that it was actually the Old Ancestors of the four Soul Transformation Families coming together.

Chen Hu opened a portion of the Formation and let the four of them in.

"Greetings, Senior Chen!"

Upon seeing Chen Hu, all four of them bowed respectfully.

Even though their descendants had married Chen Hu and become his wives, they still didn't dare to put on airs of seniority, instead respectfully addressing Chen Hu as Senior.

"Since the four of you have come together, I suppose something major must have happened. Sit down and tell me,"

Chen Hu said thoughtfully.

After they sat down, the Jiang Family Patriarch spoke up, "Senior, according to the news our four families have received, a bizarre kind of demon has appeared within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Haiyue Sect!"
