290: The peaceful Jiangnan District, a peaceful place!

“Thank you, Senior!”

The humans on the city wall had not yet reacted when they saw the previously aggressive demon army all die under that black rain. Even if some of them came into contact with it, they were unharmed, and immediately filled with admiration and gratitude for Azure Water!

They had originally thought that the city would fall today, and everyone would not escape this calamity. They never expected Azure Water to descend from the sky and easily resolve the crisis for them.

This heaven-defying method was something they could never have imagined.

“No need for such formality.”

Azure Water waved his hand slightly, helping those who were kneeling before him to their feet. His voice spread throughout the giant city, “Your unified resistance against the demons, and your refusal to give up, reminded This Lord of some past events, which is why I lent a hand. I did not come here specifically!”

“The demons are not as simple as you imagine. If you wish to survive, you should quickly seek refuge in places where powerful individuals reside.”

“Next time, no one will just happen to pass by and deal with these demons for you.”

“Senior’s teachings, we will engrave them in our hearts!”

The crowd on the city wall bowed again, but when they looked up, Azure Water had already disappeared... Jiangnan District, Yunxia Mountain Range.

Xia Fan casually swatted a fifth-order demon to death, then looked at the Magic Cat beside him, “How many is this today?”

“Tiger Brother, it’s the thirty-first!”

Beside him, the Magic Cat held a tablet, counting diligently.

Although there was no signal in Yunxia Mountain now, she only used it to record some data and did not need the internet at all. “Four days ago, Tiger Brother, you killed eleven demons. Three days ago, you killed eighteen. Two days ago, it was twenty, and yesterday it was twenty-seven.”

“More and more demons are entering Yunxia Mountain.”

Hearing these figures, Xia Fan’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, “If this continues, the demons will eventually launch a full-scale attack on Yunxia Mountain, leaving everyone in unrest!”

“Oh, when is King Kong coming back?”

“It should be within these two days.”

Ever since the large-scale demon outbreak, Xia Fan had ordered all his subordinates in various places to return, lest they die at the hands of the demons.

During this time, most of his subordinates had returned, with only King Kong yet to arrive, which was why he specifically asked.

After receiving this answer, Xia Fan nodded slightly, then said, “Let’s go, continue patrolling Yunxia Mountain. No demons can be allowed in!”

“You can just let Jin Ling hover near us. His disciples and grand-disciples are responsible for patrolling other areas of Yunxia Mountain.”

“Okay!”

Xia Fan learned from his subordinates like King Kong and Ta Mu that the current demons were running rampant across the Divine Land, almost everywhere. However, he never had the idea of saving the world.

In this era of great contention, not only were demons reappearing, but there were also many more unexpected things happening.

He could not sacrifice himself and all his subordinates to save the world, but whenever he encountered a demon, regardless of whether it was within Yunxia Mountain or Jiangnan District, he would take action to kill and devour it.

In this way, Jiangnan District indirectly became a peaceful land on the Divine Land, with very few traces of demons here.

In addition to him, fierce beasts like Jin Ling and Yuan Dali, along with many other fierce beast subordinates who had been living out their days in Yunxia Mountain, all joined in. They patrolled day and night, not letting a single demon pass.

Even if they were no match, these subordinates would unite to Siege.

After patrolling for a round, Xia Fan did not find any other demons entering the Jiangnan District. He immediately took the Magic Cat and returned to their main camp in Yunxia Mountain.

Upon returning, many fierce beast subordinates gathered around, reporting their respective battle situations.

They also brought back many demon corpses, which were naturally devoured by Xia Fan.

Although he was now at the eighth order, devouring these demon corpses provided only a minuscule amount of energy, but accumulation added up, and it was considered a snack.

On this day, Yunxia Mountain, which had been peaceful for a long time, was suddenly broken by the Black Dragon King’s strange cry, “Great King, a large group of humans has come from outside, all wanting to enter Jiangnan District for refuge, but we don’t know if we should let them in!”

“How many?”

“Tens of thousands!”

Hearing this, Xia Fan frowned tightly, thinking, was the situation outside really so grim?

After regaining his senses, he immediately stepped onto the Black Dragon King’s back and ordered, “Go, take me to see!”

The Black Dragon King was extremely fast, reaching the edge of Jiangnan District in a moment.

Before he even landed, he saw his subordinates like Yuan Dali and Wolf Three, along with their disciples and grand-disciples, blocking a group of humans outside. The two sides were still peaceful.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

With the huge commotion created by the Black Dragon King flapping his wings, all the fierce beasts and humans looked up. Especially the humans, upon seeing such a colossal creature, subconsciously retreated several steps, their eyes filled with fear.

Xia Fan jumped down from the Black Dragon King’s back. After seeing a few fifth- and sixth-order powerhouses in the crowd, he singled them out and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Tiger God, please save everyone!”

One of the fifth-order human powerhouses rushed forward, “The demons... the demons are coming aggressively, and there are many seventh-order and even peak seventh-order powerhouses among them, attacking various human cities.”

“Currently, most areas outside Jiangnan District have already fallen!”

“We can’t go to the Imperial Capital, so we can only come here to seek your protection, Tiger God!”

“Please, Tiger God, have mercy and let us live here, to escape the looting and slaughter of the demon army!”

Xia Fan was aware of these matters, but he only sent his subordinates to patrol the outer perimeter of Yunxia Mountain. Occasionally there were vacuum zones, and he couldn't always attend to every place.

When he explained these circumstances, the other party said excitedly, “As long as you let us settle in Jiangnan District, it’s fine!”

“We really can’t protect so many people at once, so we shamelessly came here for shelter!”

“Tiger God, so you agree?”

“Mm.”

Xia Fan nodded, but also set rules for them, “No one is allowed to approach the area of Yunxia Mountain. You are free to go anywhere else in Jiangnan District, but try to live in one place!”

“The fifth- and sixth-order powerhouses among you must undertake some patrol duties. Once demons come, you cannot stand idly by!”

“Please rest assured, Tiger God, we know what to do!”

When the news spread, everyone was immensely grateful for Xia Fan’s generosity, and many even knelt down on the spot.

At present, this was the only way they could express their gratitude for Xia Fan’s benevolence in taking them in.

Xia Fan ignored them, only reminding Yuan Dali, Wolf Three, and other subordinates on the way back, “Increase the intensity of patrols around the human gathering places, and then tell them which areas are forbidden for humans to enter.”

“Yes!” (End of chapter)
