“The cities attacked by the demons have all turned into lands of death. Other than some escapees, the others were all brutally murdered by demons and devils,” said Zhang Qichu.
Lin Feng’s expression was gloomy. He gritted his teeth. “Those demons and devils are truly evil to the extreme. In the ancient war, humans didn’t completely exterminate all the demons and devils. That could already be considered as us being merciful. Yet, the demons and devils still wish to cause trouble everywhere, killing the masses. They truly deserve death.”
After a few moments, Lin Feng asked, “I wonder which powers these demons are from?”
Lin Feng was asking because he knew that the devilish powers and demonic powers were split into many branches.
The devil race was located in the wet and dark subterranean world.
While the demon race could be split into a total of hundred-and-eight demon habitats.
Some of the habitats were located elsewhere while a few were within the Skymartial Continent.
“I heard that this time around, the subordinates of the subterranean Blood Devil Emperor and the Blazing Flames Demon King have joined forces and been wreaking havoc in the Eastern Commandery Divine Province. Our True Martial Country is merely one of the countries that’s affected. I heard quite a few countries around us have it even worse. The threat of the demons and devils in Supreme Mystic Country is so high that their national capital is directly in danger,” answered Zhang Qichu.
“What does the academy intend to do now?” Lin Feng asked.
“The academy plans to obey the orders sent out by the royal clan of the True Martial Country. We will gather and organize our strength to encircle and annihilate the demons and devils in the True Martial Country. We will chase them all away, reverting the situation in True Martial Country to its ordinary state,” Zhang Qichu spoke.
“The rise and fall of one’s nation concerns everyone. I’m willing to wield my sword and allow it to drink the blood of all demons and devils.” Lin Feng’s gaze was cold.
“Junior brother, I have the same thoughts as well. I heard that this time around, the academy will give out rewards if we hunt the demons and devils. We will get points according to the rank of the enemies we slay!”
“An ordinary demon or devil is worth 1,000 points.
A ten-men commander-level demon or devil is worth 10,000 points.
A hundred-men commander-level demon or devil is worth 100,000 points.
A thousand-men commander-level demon or devil is worth 1 million points.
If we can kill a hundred-thousand-men commander-level demon or devil, we will gain 10 million contribution points!”
Students of the Jialan Academy could use contribution points to enter the cultivation pagoda for cultivation. Hence, after the Jialan Academy announced that there would be rewards of contribution point, a huge commotion occurred.
“The academy has truly gone all out in terms of the rewards.” Lin Feng nodded.
Right now, Lin Feng was already completely impoverished. He might as well use this chance to hunt more demons and devils and gain a large number of contribution points so he could enter the cultivation pagoda for seclusion again in the future.
Zhang Qichu then spoke, “Junior brother, I will go and look for some fellow students. Let’s go out on the hunt together, so we can better take care of each other if we run into any trouble.”
“Sure.” Lin Feng nodded.
The next day, Zhang Qichu brought five other students over.
These five were all from the Long River Branch Court and had very good relationships with Zhang Qichu. Because Lin Feng stayed together in the same location as Zhang Qichu, he was also very familiar with these people.
The handsome student in purple was Wang Xuanming.
The slightly chubby one was Zhang Muzhi.
The skinny one was Li Kun.
The one with the shortest stature had the nickname ‘mouse’, but his real name was Ouyang Li.
And the last one with the average build was Su Zimo.
They initially planned to head out to hunt the demons and devils. Now that they could travel together with Lin Feng, they were naturally extremely excited.
Today afternoon, Lin Feng and the others all rode upon a warhorse respectively and left the Jialan Academy.
…
In the Desolate Forest, a large group of warriors had stopped for a rest near a lake.
This lake was none other than the lake the winged snake resided in.
It was also the location where Lin Feng had killed the young master of the Skywolf Mercenary Group, Duanmu Feiyang.
However, the most attention-grabbing thing about this group of warriors was that they actually had a hundred cavalry troops among them.
The mounts of these troops weren’t warhorses but were giant wolves instead.
These giant wolves were two meters long and roughly 1.5 meters tall. Their bodies were large and they seemed incomparably ferocious.
These were all sky wolves, a type of demonic wolf in the desolate regions.
The middle-aged man in the lead mounted on one of the largest demonic wolves. The wolf he was riding on was five meters long and three meters tall, brimming with a terrifying fierceness that towered up the sky.
This man was none other than the leader of the Skywolf Mercenary Group, Duanmu Tianlang.
Duanmu Tianlang had subdued a small group of demonic wolves and used the tamed wolves to form his mercenary group.
The fame of the Skywolf Mercenary Group also started to spread from then on.
“Feiyang died in this place?” Duanmu Tianlang coldly asked.
“Reporting to leader, the young leader indeed died here at this place,” one of the mercenaries replied.
“Have you investigated the identity of the killer?” Duanmu Tianlang’s eyes flashed with sinister killing intent.
“Reporting to leader, we have already found some clues. I beseech leader to give this subordinate some more time. I will definitely be able to find out who the killer is,” the mercenary replied.
