A few days later, a carriage drove out of Yunmeng County, raising a trail of dust as it headed into the distance.
Inside the carriage compartment, Wang Yan and Beiming Xue were seated.
Both were dressed in white robes; the woman was as fair as snow, and the man was elegantly refined, making them appear to be a perfect match made in heaven.
They nestled close to each other, not uttering a single word, yet the compartment was filled with immense warmth.
In stark contrast to the spring-like warmth within the carriage, outside was an aura of chilling hostility.
Behind the carriage fluttered a large black flag, bearing several blood-red words – Blood for Blood!
On the left side of the carriage, two short swords were hung.
These short swords glistened with a radiant light, clearly valuable magical treasures, yet they hung casually on the carriage, clashing and clinking as the carriage moved forward.
A middle-aged man sat outside the compartment, steering the carriage.
This man was none other than the First Grand General of Mozi Academy – Duobao.
This time Duobao had come with the disciples, witnessing Wang Yan's furious rampage after Hu Wei's death firsthand.
Initially, Duobao merely admired Wang Yan's cultivation, but after this incident, his admiration transformed into adoration.
Therefore, although Fang Jinchun and others were fighting hard to advance in Yunmeng County, Duobao waited for Wang Yan.
Upon seeing Wang Yan prepare to leave Yunmeng County, Duobao immediately requested to accompany him, willingly serving as Wang Yan's carriage driver.
As he drove, Duobao sighed internally, "The Grand Marshal truly can do anything; not only is he remarkable, but even the Grand Marshal's wife's cultivation now surpasses mine."
Reflecting on how Beiming Xue was once an insignificant Demon Emperor in Mozi Academy not even worth his notice, Duobao drove the carriage further away, filled with sighs.
In Yunmeng County, Elder Si Qin sat in a desolate chamber, writing urgently until the carriage was dozens of miles away. Then Elder Si Qin flung his pen away, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been thrown away with it, collapsing back into his chair.
The paper on the table was covered with words, though overlapping and hard to distinguish, some lines were barely discernible – "When you were born, I was still unborn; now that I am born, you have grown old, it's a pity we were not born in the same time, **** and be with you..."
After the carriage left Yunmeng County, having traveled dozens of miles, Duobao suddenly sniffed the air, turned back to the carriage, and said, "Marshal, there are seven or eight storage bags, over four hundred magical treasures heading this way."
Duobao's Demon Pattern was in the form of a dog, adept at sensing magical treasures through scent.
Therefore, Duobao counted everything solely by magical treasures.
At this moment, Wang Yan's calm voice came from inside the carriage, "Let them come."
Upon hearing Wang Yan, Duobao immediately stopped the carriage, though internally he wondered: How does the Grand Marshal know there are three people coming? Could he also have a dog's nose?
In no time, three black dots appeared on the horizon, quickly transforming into three figures, arriving in front of the carriage.
Seeing there were indeed three people, Duobao felt admiration and thought to himself: Indeed, the Grand Marshal's nose is sharper than mine.
The three people landed in front of the carriage, knelt down, and said in unison, "The Governors of Lujiang Three Prefectures pay respects to the Grand General."
It turned out that these three individuals were the Governors of Lujiang Three Prefectures.
A slow voice emanated from Wang Yan's carriage, saying, "The three of you shall issue an order to the world – wherever the Demon Wolf King's carriage arrives, open the gates and surrender, or die!"
With the carriage curtain closed, it was impossible to see inside, but upon hearing this cold order, the Governors of Lujiang Three Prefectures immediately felt their hair stand on end, as if plunged into an icy abyss.
Only then did Lujiang Three Prefectures believe that the terrifying rumor from a hundred days ago must be true.
Without daring to think further, they hurriedly kowtowed to the carriage before turning to fly away.
In a few days, a terrifying message spread throughout the Great Qin Empire – the Demon Wolf King intended to wash the world in blood.
For a time, panic swept through the Underworld; naturally, there were some Demon Cultivators who did not fear the Demon Wolf King and waited for the chance to find and kill him, hoping to become famous.
On this day, Duobao drove the carriage to the front of a County City.
The city wall stood nine zhang tall; unlike other County Cities with smooth, clean stone blocks, this city's walls were covered in complex patterns.
Above the city gate, three large characters were carved – Cangwu County.
At this time, Cangwu County's city gates were tightly closed, and the city towers were draped with white cloth, apparently mourning for someone.
Duobao sniffed the air and said, "There are 36,000 array flags on this city wall; these patterns are actually formed from the branding of the array flags. It seems taking this city won't be easy."
At this, the carriage curtain opened, revealing Wang Yan and Beiming Xue inside.
Beiming Xue glanced forward and said, "This is Cangwu County, around what will be Changsha, Hunan several thousand years later. This area should be governed by the Seventh Grand General. Wang Yan brother, since you killed the Seventh Grand General Li Ai, it seems they seek revenge for Li Ai."
Beiming Xue had done her homework before arriving, memorizing everything about the Underworld.
Upon hearing Li Ai's name, a cold gleam flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he said, "Just fine. Those who do not kneel and surrender shall die."
As Wang Yan finished speaking, a voice erupted with wild laughter from atop the city wall, "Demon Wolf King, you actually dare to come. Hahaha—"
With this laughter, a man resembling Li Ai appeared at the top of the wall.
The man placed a hand on the wall, pointed at Wang Yan, and said, "Demon Wolf King, today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive."
Duobao glanced at the man on the wall and scratched his head, "Is this guy crazy? He's just a Demon Saint Great Perfection, yet dares to challenge the Grand Marshal?"
Duobao wasn't wrong; the man on the wall indeed had cultivation only at the Demon Saint Great Perfection, and though there were several thousand Demon Cultivators rising from the city, none surpassed this man's level.
Beiming Xue said, "That man is named Li Fei, the Commandery Princess of Cangwu County, a Demon Saint Great Perfection, and Li Ai's younger brother."
Duobao said, "No wonder, his brother's death likely drove him mad, and he doesn't know what he's saying."
Li Fei stood on the city wall, heard Duobao's words, sneered, and said, "You oblivious fools, let me inform you now, listen close. My ******** has unparalleled influence in the Qin Kingdom. By killing Li Ai, you've stirred a hornet's nest, and now I'm using Cangwu County to block you. In three days, my Li Clan will arrive, and surround you beneath the city, let's see how you plan to escape then."
After speaking, Li Fei turned back to the city and shouted, "Release the wolf smoke!"
With this shout, a pillar of blue wolf smoke shot up from the city into the sky.
