Chapter 65: Re-encountering Gray Feather
The shocking discovery made Su Dong's scalp numb, it turned out that in Daye Country, not only was the Second Prince Ye An possessed by a demon, but many ordinary people were also possessed!
Is it really that the chaotic era is approaching? Snow demon, monster, one after another, any of them are mortal existences!
Pfft~
A dark shadow flashed by, and a figure was knocked to the ground. Su Dong looked up to see that it was indeed Hei Yu Huang, who had just used his own palm to knock down a civilian who was approaching Su Dong.
"Are you here?" Su Dong said excitedly: "We originally agreed to meet in the four northern countries, didn't expect to gather together again so soon."
Hui Yu was much thinner than a few months ago, with more pronounced wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. His white hair had finally overtaken his black hair, as if he had suffered greatly on this journey to the extreme north wilderness.
He nodded and Grey Wing said, "I've been here for a while, but I couldn't get close to you. After all, the Spiritual Beast Clan and humans are still quite different, and I don't want to be hunted down by the warriors of various martial arts schools."
Huiyu had been in the crowd all along, and it wasn't until now that the situation was chaotic that he approached Su Dong's side.
Hui Yu also stared at the monster on the back of the commoner, her eyebrows deeply furrowed.
At this time, a distant horn sounded, and an army on horseback was rapidly approaching. Anyone who encountered suspicious civilians would be killed!
Su Dong knew that these were reinforcements called in by Ye Wei from the city. It seemed that Ye Wei had taken Su Dong's words to heart and secretly requested support.
The cavalry was ruthless and bloodthirsty, killing their way through the land, cutting down countless civilians, some of whom were possessed, others not. In this forgotten continent, ordinary people's lives were worthless, and they were slaughtered mercilessly.
As a result, the situation gradually stabilized, and large numbers of cavalry continued to pour onto the battlefield, while the villagers possessed by the monsters began to retreat into the distance.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay, let's go!" Grey Feather said in a low voice, he was a spiritual beast and naturally disliked being with humans, especially human troops.
Su Dong nodded, put away his own magic tool, and rushed into the crowd to pull Zhou Xing and Bai Qing with him, retreating westward with Hui Yu. Su Dong also knocked out an old man from Dinghai Wuguan on the way, letting Zhou Xing carry him on his shoulder.
……
They walked a long way in one breath until the killing cries could no longer be heard, and Su Dong and his party stopped by a small river.
After washing his face, he opened the Longjia double doors several times in a row and then desperately used Haitong Mountain's Benming Star, making Su Dong feel extremely exhausted.
"Take care of Bai Qing." Su Dong said to Zhou Xing, "As for this guy from Dinghai Martial Arts Hall, spare his life for now, I have some questions to ask him."
After that, Su Dong and Hui Yu retreated far away from each other. Su Dong was well aware that Hui Yu was the majestic Eagle King, and it was purely coincidental that he trusted himself completely, so there was no reason to believe in Zhou Xing and his group again, therefore they moved aside to talk.
"Old man, I see you're quite exhausted. Didn't your trip to the Extreme North Wilderness go smoothly?" Su Dong asked curiously, at the same time taking out two spiritual medicine he had cultivated himself and eating them to replenish his energy.
"It's not going smoothly at all." Huiyu sighed and said, "My original intention was to go to the wasteland to investigate the whereabouts of the Snow Demon clan. After all, if the Ice Age really comes, it will be a disaster for you humans, and also a painful test for our Spirit Beast clan."
"So what's the result?"
"What's wrong?" Su Dong asked tensely, slightly startled.
"The Snow Demons have vanished!" Grey Wing exclaimed: "There's not a single shadow of the Snow Demons on the Extreme North Wasteland! Only some small tribes scattered across the wasteland, and those large tribes, all gone without a trace!"
Su Dong gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Indeed very strange, it should be that with the advent of the Ice Age, the Snow Demons should migrate south in large numbers. Something is amiss, the Snow Demons' abnormal behavior is definitely not a good thing."
"I think so too." said Kuroba, shrugging his shoulders.
"What about the sky? You said that when the Ice Age arrives, the sky will also open." Su Dong asked.
Huiyao Road: "The Heavenly Canopy is a forbidden place for our Spirit Beast clan, and even further north, I haven't gone."
Su Dong said, "It seems that I was right after all. Since the Snow Demon's main tribe didn't come to the south, those who attacked Bai Tou Shan must be those disguised guys. But what is their reason for doing so? It's puzzling."
Huiyu sat on the stump of a withered tree, sighing: "Our Ling Shou clan is even more puzzled, according to historical records, at this stage, Lady Zi Ya and Lord Todd should have summoned us to the north, but now there is no news at all."
Su Dong said helplessly: "It's a good thing not to summon you! Those two gods summoned you, aren't they just letting you fight for your lives? If you can live in peace and contentment, who would like war?"
Huī Yǔ waved his hand and said, "You're not a spiritual beast, you don't understand the feelings between us and the two gods. For us spiritual beasts, being able to die for the gods is the greatest honor in our lives! Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Today, you little brat did something that will drive the whole world crazy!"
Su Dong said calmly: "What's so fierce about it, the Tianxing Martial Arts Hall and the Dinghai Martial Arts Hall will be at odds with each other from now on, and if things go wrong, we'll be criticized when we get back."
Huiyu Dao said, "Who told you that? I'm referring to the fact that you killed Haitong Mountain's Benming Star! This is a truly earth-shattering event! From ancient times to the present, no one has ever done such a thing, and no one has ever succeeded. And yet, not only did you do it, but you also succeeded! Just wait, once you return to Daye City, back in the Holy Star Empire, you will be surrounded by people asking how you managed to kill someone's Benming Star."
Su Dong frowned and said, "It's that troublesome? I didn't think much at the time, even if I died, I couldn't admit defeat. Since Hai Tongshan was unbeatable, I would destroy his Benming Star! Who knew it actually worked, what can I do?"
Su Dong said helplessly? It seems that he accidentally destroyed the main star of Haitong Mountain, which made Old Man Hui Yu quite annoyed.
Benming star is also called Guqi Shen Xing! Just listen to the name and you'll know, it's a rebellious thing!
Su Dong accidentally destroyed someone else's mysterious and strange star, how careless is that?
The conversation took a turn, and Grey Feather asked about the creature on the villager's back. Su Dong said: "To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to explain it either. In short, this world has two sides, light and dark, just like day and night. That thing is a creature of the darkness, and doesn't belong to our world."
Huiyu Dao said: "Then aren't they very difficult to deal with?"
Su Dong said: "It's fine in the juvenile stage, but after maturation, it's indeed a considerable trouble. I'm afraid even Snow Demon can't compare to the ferocity of these things."
Huiyu nodded slightly and sighed, "In short, the mainland is getting more and more chaotic. If things go on like this, neither humans nor spiritual beasts will have a good life. By the way, what's the origin of that little fox you saved?"
"Oh, her name is Bai Qing, one of the two little foxes that survived from Baitou Mountain."
"How did she end up here? And got caught by Dinghai's people?" Grey Feather asked curiously.
Su Dong shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this either, I was just about to ask her."
……
Huiyu and Sū Dōng finished their conversation and returned to the riverbank, where Bái Qíng had already woken up. The old man who was brought by Sū Dōng was beaten by Zhōu Xīng and his mouth was covered with a handkerchief, looking very miserable.
As soon as she saw Su Dongbai Qing, she pounced on him immediately, tightly hugging Su Dong and not letting go. The Ling Fox's face was naturally seductive, and even the fragrance of her body was particularly charming. Her small chest was pressed against Su Dong's chest, soft like cotton candy, making Su Dong feel quite comfortable.
"Don't cry anymore, tell me what's going on? How did you end up being caught and brought here? And where is Bai Xiaoya?" Su Dong asked seriously.
Bai Qing sobbed: "We followed the merchant group out of Hansheng City to the north, and were robbed by a group of explorers after just two days. They caught me and Miss and sold us to Yecheng."
Su Dong nodded slightly, while Zhou Xing on the side was shocked and lost his color. After all, Bai Qing followed their own merchant group. He hastily asked about the situation of his merchant group. Bai Qing shook her head crying, indicating that everyone in the merchant group had been killed, and the goods had also been looted clean.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh and lament, not because he was heartbroken over the loss of wealth, as Zhou Dashi's family had never lacked money. He was worried about the lives of more than a hundred people in the merchant caravan!
Besides, Bai sisters were entrusted by Su Dong to send them to the south, now that something like this has happened, they also have no face to explain to Su Dong.
"Where is Bai Xiaoya?" Su Dong frowned and asked.
Bai Qing cried out: "Miss was sent back home by that young master, saying it's his father's favorite little girl, please, please, you must save Miss! Without her, Bai Qing won't live either!"
Huiyu listened to the side, and said in a low voice: "Isn't Haitong Mountain's father Hai Cuo Rock? The master of Dinghai Martial Arts Hall, nicknamed Hai Yanwang!"
