Chapter 599 Evil God
Gu Chengxue frowned, and with a single slash of his longsword, dozens of miles of thorny bushes were annihilated by the spiritual light. He strode forward, walking far ahead, his cold, sharp eyebrows and green-sleeved Taoist robe exuding an imposing aura.
Wherever they went, there was complete silence.
Soon, a rumor spread silently throughout the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons: for some unknown reason, two mentally challenged demons had appeared. One killed demons without blinking an eye, regardless of size or strength; anyone who dared to offend him would become a victim of his sword. The other had a numb expression and dull eyes, like a lifeless puppet. She possessed a powerful aura, and any foolish demon that dared to approach her would be instantly hacked to pieces by the first demon, without a single drop of blood splattering onto the second demon.
However, these two fierce demons don't seem to get along very well. They often exchange sarcastic remarks, with one suddenly turning pale and the other glaring at them with a cold look. When the atmosphere between them turns sour, even the insects gnawing on the tree bark have to cover their heads and run for their lives.
"Elder, the Third Prince's senior sister and that cold-faced youth are really disrespecting our Ten Thousand Demon Valley. They're practically here to cause trouble. Shouldn't we do something about it?" The little demon complained bitterly to the elder, who was facing the sun.
In just a few days, the square in front of the palace has been almost completely filled with demons who come here to play the victim.
The problem is that these demons all have terrible tempers and can suddenly start fighting. To maintain order in the palace, the guards have no choice but to step in and break them up.
That's terrible! Getting kicked in the butt, getting scratched on the face—those are all common occurrences. And then there are those who get dragged in to get beaten up too. Oh my, just watching it makes his teeth ache.
After listening, the Grand Elder waved his hand dismissively: "Don't you know our rules here? Those who can't survive are often eaten. If two strong young people come, they'll be begging for their lives..." The Grand Elder shook his head, "It seems that our Ten Thousand Demon Valley has been too comfortable for too long and has forgotten how human cultivators are blessed by the heavens."
"Great Elder..."
"Drive them all out. Tell them that if anyone trespasses again, their entire clan will be killed. If you want to exterminate them, then come and try!"
Upon hearing the order, the guard's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir, I obey!" He then grabbed the hem of his armor and rushed out.
That's great! Now they don't have to be cowards and let these little brats poop and pee on their heads!
At this moment, the Second Elder and the Third Elder came out from the inner room. They had been discussing something inside and happened to hear the young guard's report.
The Second Elder's mustache twitched: "What's wrong with this Jiang Liqian? Isn't she His Highness's senior sister? Doesn't she know that the situation is dire? His Highness went back to the sect to discuss the alliance between human and demon cultivators to jointly defend against the demon race's invasion, right? Why is she causing trouble here!"
The Third Elder looked worried and solemn: "Although the Western Continent is still safe, demons have already gathered on the coast. I estimate that the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will soon face a real calamity!"
"Moreover, the demon race has now appeared in large numbers in the Northern Continent. If we do not join forces with the human race to rush to their aid, the Northern Continent will likely be completely occupied by them, thus becoming their base for invading this world. At that time, we will be the ones who are passively attacked."
The elder stroked his beard, nodding as he comforted the two old men: "Yes, yes, the situation is not optimistic, but it's not so pessimistic. The disaster arose from an anomaly, and it will naturally end here. It is the will of Heaven, and it is beyond our power to change. When the time comes, everything will be determined."
"You mean we should just stand by and do nothing?" The Second Elder flicked his sleeve, snorting angrily.
The Third Elder quickly gave the Second Elder a wink, then strolled over to the First Elder's side: "With a calamity approaching, we're not the only ones who should be truly worried. Do you think that Immortal Venerable Qingzhi has already made arrangements to deal with it?"
The elder smiled, his eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of life, swept over the drifting clouds outside the window, his robes fluttering lightly.
With his back to them, he slowly raised his right hand, revealing a thin, transparent letter between his index and middle fingers. The two characters "Qing Zhi" were crystal clear, seemingly penetrating the paper, carrying the chilling force of a blizzard.
The second and third elders were stunned for a moment, and after reading what was written on it, they were both speechless.
"Pass down the order: Distinguished guests will be visiting Wan Yao Valley. Open the palace gates, prepare a light feast, and welcome them."

After bickering for more than half a month, Gu Chengxue and Jiang Liqian finally arrived at the place they wanted to go.
"After crossing that mountain, we'll reach Wuji Mountain, where the fox clan resides."
Jiang Liqian shook the willow branch she had casually plucked from the roadside, offering no reply.
Gu Chengxue turned to look at her, and suddenly her pupils contracted sharply as a sword carrying immense force was placed against her neck.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing the demonic aura behind her.
She stiffened and turned her head to the side, while Gu Chengxue shifted positions and began fighting with the great demon who was preparing to ambush them.
This powerful demon's cultivation was extremely profound, making it impossible for anyone to discern his true form for the time being. However, judging from his strange eyes and the restless aura around him, it wasn't hard to guess that this powerful demon had probably suffered a cultivation deviation and gone mad, which was why he was taking such a risk, preparing to challenge both her and Gu Chengxue, two cultivators at the Returning Void stage, simultaneously, hoping to use their spiritual bodies to repair the damage caused by the backlash from his cultivation deviation.
Gu Chengxue showed no mercy; her swordplay became even more ferocious, seemingly tinged with an unspoken anger. The great demon was forced to retreat steadily under her attack, nearly having its head severed several times with a single stroke.
Even so, Gu Chengxue didn't seem relieved, especially seeing Jiang Liqian still standing there blankly, not moving an inch.
He was annoyed and momentarily distracted. In that instant, the great demon, seeing that he could not break through, suddenly changed its attack, its long arms growing wildly as it charged towards Jiang Liqian, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Gu Chengxue's eyes widened in horror, her mind going completely blank.
Before he could stop, he roared, "Jiang Liqian!"
The next second, blood splattered, the longsword fell crimson, the wind howled and the cold light vanished.
Jiang Liqian stood in the rain of blood, her expression blank as she slowly pulled out the Shitian Sword that had pierced the heart of the great demon.
The sword aura was chilling, unlike the gentle and bright sunlight of the past.
The great demon stared wide-eyed with two eerie, bloodshot eyes, and slowly slid to the ground. The wound pierced by the Heavenly Sword burned with divine power, and in no time, he was burned to a pile of ashes, which were scattered by the wind.
Gu Chengxue breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that she was alright, but then her face suddenly darkened, and she strode over to her with an embarrassed expression.
