89: No. 89: No matter what happens in Qingshan, I, the Patrol Sky Division, will help.

Southwest, fifty li, Devilish Qi surged.

Leading the charge, dozens of colossal monstrous beasts paved the way. With black hides and Black Armored Soldiers, three zhang long, they were clearly the Wujin Rhinoceros, a Sharp Weapon for siege warfare.

As their massive Physical Bodies galloped, the ground trembled. Their sharp rhinoceros horns shattered mountains and forests, clearing a path.

Close behind, on hundreds of tall horses, over a hundred Human Devils guarded a massive palanquin. Its design was peculiar, built from giant wood, resembling a Dragon's nest, dozens of meters in size.

From beneath the palanquin, arm-thick chains extended, shackling various grotesque and ferociously abnormal Devils.

Each had a human body and a Devil's Physical Body, three zhang tall, with glaring fangs, blood-red eyes, drooling foul saliva, and there were ten of them.

They let out beast-like roars, possessing immense strength, carrying this massive palanquin with incredible speed, their neck chains clanking crisply.

These individuals were Human Devils from the Feixian Sect who had failed to advance after devouring higher Rank Devil Seeds over the years. They had been completely taken over by the Devil Seed, becoming cruel killing machines, known as Devil Slaves.

And that wasn't all; in the sky, two Human Devils with fleshy wings and horns were holding strange chisels, hammering away with "clang" sounds, striking out streaks of silver lightning that boomed into the rolling black clouds within the palanquin.

At this moment, within the black clouds, there seemed to be a terrifying presence, an unsettling aura that stirred up gusts of strong wind, sweeping through the vast mountains.

An Azure Dragon banner fluttered within it.

"How much further?"

At this moment, a long cry, like the clash of metal, came from within the black Qi, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Reporting to Venerable, approximately four hundred li more!" A Human Devil quickly dismounted and reported respectfully.

"Speed up, we must arrive before dawn. What about the scouts we sent out?"

"Reporting to Venerable, the scouting party has not sent back any news, so it seems there are no unusual movements."

"Good!" The voice from within carried a hint of a roar, stirring up thunder within the black clouds.

"This time, This General will see how that fellow fends him off."

After speaking, a low voice, inaudible to others, resonated from within the dark clouds, carrying a profound meaning.

"That fellow who just broke through the Fourth Heavenly Gate, haha, his Dao Seed hasn't even taken shape yet. What a heaven-sent opportunity! Isn't this the perfect time to steal his Dao Fruit? Do those three White Tiger fellows really think This General has no brains?"

The person inside was none other than the Feixian Sect's Qinglong Venerable.

He had traveled thousands of li not because he was enraged after Chen Yuan destroyed a Dao Weapon and then, disregarding the overall situation, stubbornly resisted the other three Venerables' obstructions to personally lead an army thousands of li away. He wasn't that foolish; rather, he had his own plans.

Although the Feixian Sect's Devil Seed advancement method could grant the powerful abilities of a Devil in a short time, transforming from a human body into a Devil was extremely perilous with each step upward. One not only had to resist the Devilish Qi's erosion of the Physical Body but, more terrifyingly, the distortion of the Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits.

The Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits are the foundation; once something goes wrong, it's an eternal damnation. Those Devil Slaves are typical examples!

And he deeply understood that once they reached their current Realm, advancing further would be extremely difficult.

Not to mention the dangers involved, even obtaining a Fifth Heavenly Gate Devil's Devil Seed was incredibly hard.

The only opportunity was the Ten Thousand Mountains' Devil Dao Fruit Assembly.

But Qinglong, who had dealt with those fellows, deeply knew that those Devil Heads only treated them as pawns and would not give them higher Realm Devil Seeds to escape control.

Therefore, he had to find another way. Qinglong thought of stealing others' Dao Seeds, to use others' Dao to cross himself.

Speaking of which, the Divine Sect essentially followed this path.

What's the difference between borrowing a Devil's Devil Seed and borrowing another's Dao Seed?

Now, he had encountered one!

Naturally, he was itching to go, rushing thousands of li to personally arrive.

Qinglong was calculating in his mind when he suddenly heard it.

Heart-wrenching screams came from afar.

Then, a dazzling golden light from the distant horizon grew brighter and brighter.

Until a great sun rose into the sky, dispelling the darkness, rapidly spreading forth!

At the same time, in the forest ahead, several Human Devils fled rapidly, howling strangely, rushing towards the main force.

But in the next breath, the golden light spread forth.

These Human Devils, illuminated by the golden light, let out shrill screams, and then their figures were quickly engulfed by golden flames, burning to ashes, body and soul.

At this moment, an angry roar erupted from the palanquin.

Only to see thunderclouds soaring into the sky, thunder roaring, rolling thunderclouds surging and spreading, enveloping the Human Devils under his command.

A burly figure stood atop the thunderclouds.

With silver hair, clad in Azure Dragon scales, fierce eyes, and silver lightning dancing around him, emitting a soul-stirring thunderous roar.

Qinglong's eyes shot out Azure Dragon light, staring menacingly at the figure in green, riding through the Void Realm under a golden sun several li away.

Instantly, the world was divided into two colors.

One side, a myriad of golden light; the other, rolling thunderclouds, clearly distinct.

"Chen Yuan!"

Qinglong roared in shock and anger, then a chilling light shot from his eyes.

"This General was looking for you, and you dared to come uninvited."

As he spoke, he flung his hand, and a silver long spear, with lightning and electric light dancing around it, condensed into existence.

On the opposite side, the Void Realm hummed, and under the great sun, mountains appeared with a rumble, rising from the ground.

"Damn it! Your Dao Seed hasn't even solidified yet?" Qinglong's pupils constricted when he saw the thirty-six mountain peaks rise from the ground, like real mountains.

...

Soon after, over one thousand five hundred li away, shrouded in night, the Baidi City, filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Suddenly, swift horses galloped, their urgent hooves like a fierce storm, resounding through the silent streets.

"Report! At the front line, the Devil Sect's White Tiger forces in front have suddenly begun to retreat."

"Report! News from our internal scout: the Vermilion Bird forces holding the center have ordered a fifty li retreat."

"..."

One after another, urgent commands echoed within the Sky Patrol Division's station in the city.

In a central military hall, the Heavenly Gate Zhonglang General, who guarded the Fu Gate, listened to his subordinates' reports, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What exactly happened?"

"Could it be related to Qinglong, one of the Devil Sect's Four Symbols Revered Ones?"

This person's eyes were hidden in the low candlelight of the hall, only his pupils, sparkling with brilliance, suddenly let out a sharp cry.

"Is there still no news from Qingshan County?"

"Reporting to This General, not yet."

"But something must have happened for the Devil Sect to retreat. This General, should we..."

That person's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stood up.

"Pass This General's order: the entire city is under martial law. From now on, no one and no news is allowed to enter the Fu City, especially those aristocratic families. This General is leaving the city!"

"This General!" His subordinate officers were all startled.

The Heavenly Gate Zhonglang General's presence at the Fu Gate was of great importance; he should not easily leave the city.

But his voice was suddenly stern and resolute.

"No matter what happened in Qingshan, This General's Sky Patrol Division must help!"

My benefactors, it's the end of the month, please vote!
