Chapter 445 - 216: Home Invasion
"Brother Lan, are you worried that the White Mountain Monarch and the Snow Wolf King might fail?"
The eagle disappeared into the sky, and beside Lan Jue, a burly man with thick hair covering his body and face spoke with doubt.
Lan Jue did not answer directly, only mentioning that he felt a bit uneasy and it would be safest to have someone go and take a look.
The three demons waited quietly for nearly two hours, and then the eagle suddenly swooped down from high altitude, with an urgent report.
"The three commanders, bad news!"
"Both the White Mountain Monarch and the Snow Wolf King have been ambushed by the Shen Family cultivators, suffering heavy losses."
Hearing this, Lan Jue’s expression slightly changed. After a brief contemplation, he asked:
"What about the blood food?"
"How much blood food did the two obtain?"
The little eagle demon hesitated for a moment and said, "The two commanders said... said that they searched through Chungui and Hejian Cities, and couldn’t find a single two-legged sheep."
"The White Mountain Monarch even took people to Xingyang City, but it was also an empty city..."
"It seems... it seems like all the two-legged sheep under the Shen Family’s rule have vanished into thin air."
Vanished into thin air?
Lan Jue’s eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a chilling evil qi.
He looked towards Yunshui City ahead and murmured coldly, "I understand now..."
"This damn Shen Family is truly cunning!"
As he finished speaking, the nearby Black Ape asked in confusion, "Brother Lan, do you know what’s happening?"
"If I am not mistaken, the two-legged sheep under the Shen Family’s rule haven’t vanished into thin air," the old Mountain Goat continued, "but have rather been transferred in advance to Yunshui City."
Hearing this, the Black Ape was somewhat stunned.
"Transferring nearly ten million two-legged sheep from four cities altogether, isn’t the Shen Family afraid that we will capture them all in one go?"
"Or are they planning to break the rules and let the Golden Core cultivators inside the city take action?"
Lan Jue sneered, "Would they dare?"
"Though we six families are not of one mind, if the Shen Family dares to openly violate the agreement, Aunt and the others will not sit idly by."
After a moment of deep thought, Lan Jue’s eyes flashed with determination as he waved his hand and said, "Go and tell the White Mountain Monarch and the Snow Wolf King to bring all their men to Yunshui City."
"I want to see how hard this city’s turtle shell really is today."
"Additionally, send someone to report to Aunt that if the Golden Core of the Shen Family dares to make a move, they must be made to pay!"
The several little demons nearby received the orders and each swept up in demon winds, flying towards the Southern Border and Chungui City.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
At the Void Combination Corridor Array, the figure of the Celestial Fox Demon King slowly appeared.
However, she did not directly arrive at Yunshui City, instead staying on a mountain peak near the array’s celestial curtain, releasing her aura to inform the "Golden Core Ancestor" of the Shen Family that she was watching them.
If they dared to take action despite the agreement, she would join forces with the Lord of Fushan and several major Golden Core cultivators to erase Yunshui City from the land of Yangnao.
Upon sensing the Celestial Fox Demon King’s aura, Lan Jue and his commanders suddenly felt confident and immediately prepared to attack the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly stepped out from Yunshui City.
That figure, clad in a blue robe, holding a long sword, stepped from the city into the void and waved to open the array.
"A Sword Cultivator at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing..."
Scrutinizing the appearing Shen Wen’an, Lan Jue frowned slightly.
He couldn’t quite understand the purpose of the Shen Family’s move.
Sending a cultivator at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing alone to face him and four demons at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm?
Are they asking for death?
After stepping out of the array, Shen Wen’an calmly glanced at the group, then looked towards the direction of the Void Combination Corridor Array.
"Tell the elder of the Great Witch Mountain, the Shen Family’s ancestor has no intention of breaking the agreement."
"If you all want to enter Yunshui City, you must first get past me."
As soon as these words fell, he slowly unsheathed the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
"A mere Late Stage Fetal Breathing, what gives you the audacity to be so arrogant?"
"Today, I will devour you first!"
At this sight, the White Mountain Monarch, who had been holding in his anger, suddenly let out a cold snort and stepped forward to attack.
"Mountain Monarch, be careful, this human cultivator is a Sword Cultivator!"
Lan Jue immediately reminded.
"What of the Sword Cultivator, once I slay him, we will proceed to break the array and reap the harvest thoroughly."
Having been toyed with in Chungui City, not seeing a single soul and instead suffering a sneak attack with heavy losses, had long filled him with rage.
Observing the White Mountain Monarch wanting to challenge him alone, a hint of delight flashed in Shen Wen’an’s heart.
He could see that among the many demons of the Great Witch Mountain, five demon cultivators had an aura surpassing the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, reaching the Realm of Perfection. That Lan Jue’s cultivation was even at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm.
If all five demons were to join forces from the start, whether he could withstand them was uncertain.
But now that this Tiger Demon was arrogant enough to want a solo duel, he could seize the opportunity to kill him swiftly and by surprise.
With that, leaving only four opponents would greatly reduce his pressure.
Thinking this, he subtly moved his heart spirit and suddenly spoke:
"Just you alone?"
"Want to call for a couple more helpers?"
Hearing this, the White Mountain Monarch indeed became furious.
Even if it’s a Sword Cultivator, what’s so audacious about a mere Late Stage Fetal Breathing daring to speak so arrogantly? It’s truly detestable!
"Enough chitchat!"
"Prepare to die!"
The White Mountain Monarch let out a cold shout, and with a wave of his hand, a bright white mysterious light shot out!
As the mysterious light slashed towards Shen Wen’an, the White Mountain Monarch’s hand flashed with light, revealing a pitch-black broadsword emanating a fierce and evil aura!
He slowly raised the broadsword, demon essence surging throughout his body, and slashed diagonally towards the opposite side of Shen Wen’an’s body!
