Chapter 122: Chu Zes fury

After breaking through to the Sky Reaching realm, Murong Lin noticed that his progression began to slow down. He took a deep breath, purging the remaining impurities from his body before opening his eyes with a contented expression. However, his satisfaction quickly turned into disdain.

With a circulation of his spiritual powers, he cast a cleaning spell to freshen up and incinerated the impurities on the ground with his fire.

Following this, he took to the air and flew out of the cave.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

He retrieved his array and then collected the sky-covering locusts. He could now feel that he was on the verge of reaching the coveted Cognizance realm, and a confident smile graced his face.

“The gains from this endeavour have been quite satisfactory. Now, it’s time to deal with that fellow, Chu Ze.”

The tumultuous events in the capital had already caused Chu Ze’s protagonist value to plummet by 50. And after Murong Lin’s confrontation with and subsequent killing of Lu Feng Xian, he had acquired another 50 villain value.

“Ding! The protagonist Chu Ze’s ‘little protagonist halo’ has completely shattered, his protagonist value has dropped by 50.”

“Ding! Congratulations to master for obtaining the villain value of 50, you may use it to purchase items in the system shop.”

Chu Ze’s protagonist value had dwindled to a mere 200 points, and Murong Lin was convinced that with the Qing Yi Tower’s influence, he could deal yet another blow to Chu Ze by inciting rebellions in certain territories.

Murong Lin began to make his way towards Chu.

With his current strength, he could navigate the Demonic Beast Forest and the surrounding regions with ease. Even within the Ridge Fir Alliance, his power was considered at the pinnacle.

During this time, both Chu and the Demonic Beast Forest were undergoing significant changes. The demonic beasts gleefully pursued Chu’s army, only stopping after chasing them several dozen lis into Chu’s territory.

This relentless pursuit sparked the rebellions that further infuriated Chu Ze.

In response, Chu Ze immediately ordered the soldiers attacking neighbouring countries to return and gathered a formidable army to advance into the Demonic Beast Forest.

Chu Ze decided to narrate the tragic tale of Lu Feng Xian, the other generals, and the army’s devastating losses to the public, hoping to garner their support for his actions.

However, the people had long harboured their resentment towards the continuous wars.

Before Chu Ze’s rule, Chu had actively repelled the annual beastwaves, but their actions were confined to the outskirts of the Demonic Beast Forest. Thus, there were no deep-seated grievances between humans and the demonic beasts.

But everything had changed with Chu Ze’s ascent to the throne and his declaration of war against the Demonic Beast Forest. Countless soldiers had ventured deep into the forest, leading to chaos along Chu’s borders.

After the relentless assault of the Blood Bat Locusts, although they hadn’t completely destroyed human settlements, hordes of demonic beasts had surged forth, chasing tens of thousands of Chu’s retreating soldiers.

Moreover, the commoners who had lived their lives in Chu had never heard of the generals summoned by Chu Ze from the mysterious system. These war-hardened generals held no favour in the eyes of the people.

The Sky Piercer Halberd was anchored to the ground with something impaled between its blades—a head.

It was the head of their big brother, purple wolf.

Mountain pig staggered forward, his massive frame collapsing to his knees as tears streamed down his face.

The demonic beasts behind him were a mix of shock, fear, anger, and grief, but one emotion was unmistakable in their expressions: hatred toward Lu Feng Xian and Chu.

Mountain pig let out a furious roar, “Big brother! Why did this happen?”

Purple wolf’s head appeared ghastly, his once-elegant purple fur now dry and lifeless, and even the vertical eye that had once graced his forehead was reduced to a lifeless hollow.

His death had been horrific.

There was no doubt in their minds—this had to be the work of Lu Feng Xian!

They had devised a plan in which purple wolf would lure Lu Feng Xian away, allowing them to attack Chu’s soldiers’ camp.

Lu Feng Xian had vanished, along with their revered ancestor. All that remained was purple wolf’s severed head, impaled on Lu Feng Xian’s Sky Piercer Halberd.

It was clear that purple wolf had met his demise during Lu Feng Xian’s relentless pursuit, and subsequently, their ancestor had pursued Lu Feng Xian to exact vengeance.

This seemed to be the most logical explanation for the grim scene before them.

Mountain pig carefully removed purple wolf’s head from the halberd and gave him a solemn burial. He then turned to his fellow demonic beasts, his eyes reddened with grief and anger, “We will not share the same sky with the human race!”

The other demonic beasts nodded in agreement, vowing to avenge purple wolf’s death.

However, they were not foolish enough to immediately gather their forces and launch an attack on the human city.

Their first priority was to await the return of their missing ancestor. They believed that, with the guidance of their Cognizance realm ancestor, their plan would carry far less risk.

But what they never expected, was that even before the return of their missing ancestor, was the arrival of the human army.
