Chapter 14.1 - Good Person Lin Jiu (1/2)

The Tianyuan Continent was vast and sparsely populated with an abundance of spiritual energy. When one looked down from the sky, one could see dense greenery of spiritual plants and fertile land for miles and miles.

Between the mountains and rivers where the spiritual energy gathered, immortal fog covered the lands. Sects were hidden in the mountains with the occasional cultivator appearing with their swords, slicing through the sky with a clear light.

Steep mountains stretched for thousands of miles south of the plains. Thousands of years ago, the righteous world joined forces to drive the demons and demonic cultivators away from the Central Plains, using the Cross Mountains as a natural barrier to build a solid line of defense.

The Thousand Forks Pass was a critical point between these mountains. Behind the mountain pass were 600 miles of plains in the shape of a fine scepter with a pearl at the top with a round shape.

At the moment, the Thousand Forks Pass all the way to Cloud Water Song was occupied by the demons.

Bare ground ran hundreds of miles long as far as the eye could see, and traces of warfare were left behind everywhere. The Demon Clan did not have much of a territorial sense, so after occupying a place, they were like locusts that spoiled everything they could and left devastation everywhere.

Right now, the vanguards of the Demon Clan had already crossed Cloud Water Song and were heading deeper into the mountain pass. The ones camping between Cloud Sea Song and the Thousand Forks Pass are the Demon Clan’s main forces.

After the Demon Lord was ambushed, the Demon Army was completely devoid of any discipline and acted all based on instinct. To put it simply, they waited for the rich land to turn barren before they would launch a general attack on the next pass.

Burning, killing, looting, plundering. There was no evil in which they did not partake in.

When a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul stage, they could control their swords. And, when the Demon Clan achieves the Nascent Soul Stage, black wings would grow on their backs.

It was said that when the high-ranked Demon Army came out at once, it was like a swarm of locusts passing through. Their black wings were so overwhelming that they were capable of stirring up fierce winds from afar.

As soon as Wei Liang and Lin Jiu flew over Cloud Water Song, they saw a dense gathering of demons at the front left. At first glance from mid-air, the demons looked like a gigantic hornet’s nest. From afar, they could see quite a few high-ranking demons flying around, just like a pack of sharks sniffing out a blood trail.

Wei Liang raised his brows and immediately commanded his sword downwards.

A crescent-shaped sword aura swung out from the encirclement, slashing with an arc of light. More than a dozen demons were cut into half as they howled and rolled on the ground. The demons were more resilient than humans. As long as their hearts or brains were not injured, they could drag their broken bodies and continue pouncing at their enemies, and it might take more than a few days to actually kill them in that state.

That was also the most frightening part about them.

Then, another sword light exploded once more towards the densest gathering of demons.

This time, the curve was a full moon shape.
