Chapter 103: He Is a Disciple of the White Emperor!

Qi Yuan listened to Yuan Qi's impassioned speech for a long time before saying, "My guarding of Wu Gui City has nothing to do with Great Xia.

I guard it simply because I am its guardian."

He didn't want to owe anyone a favor without reason.

Hearing this, Yuan Qi was initially confused.

However, he quickly understood.

This guardian must be someone who cares deeply for all living beings.

He wasn't from Great Xia, but he didn't want to see the southern land fall to the north, so he came to Wu Gui City alone to guard it.

He wasn't confined to a small country, but cared for the world.

This is a true great cultivator!

Yuan Qi's admiration grew.

However, he thought of his brother and eventually asked in a somber tone, "Did you see any soldiers from the Song Camp when you arrived at Wu Gui City?"

"Not long after I arrived, two ordinary soldiers from the Song Camp came.

They said they were ambushed on the way, and the entire army was wiped out. Only they escaped with serious injuries, but they didn't last long and died in Wu Gui City," Qi Yuan recalled the two men.

One was Zhang Sheng, the other Chen Jiao.

If they had changed their names, perhaps their fate would have been different, Qi Yuan thought.

"They are buried deep within Wu Gui City."

Yuan Qi felt a heavy heart.

He had suspected as much before coming.

Seeing the truth only deepened his pain.

His grandfather, father, and eldest brother, three generations, all died in Wu Gui City.

"The box on your back contains wine, right?" Qi Yuan smelled the faint scent of wine.

"Yes." Yuan Qi answered solemnly.

He had traveled a long way to Wu Gui City to let the soldiers there taste the wine from their homeland, to show that Great Xia had not forgotten them.

"Zhang Sheng and Chen Jiao drank bad wine when they arrived.

Since you brought good wine, you can use it to pay tribute to them." Qi Yuan still remembered the terrible taste of the wine Chen Jiao raised before he died.

Probably only Chen Jiao and Zhang Sheng enjoyed it.

"I'll first offer a cup to you." Yuan Qi said, trying to take the wine from his back.

"I don't drink." Qi Yuan said, flying up to the city wall. He looked out at the vast desert and said loudly, "In the future, the people of Great Xia should stop coming to Wu Gui City.

I guard this place, and it is impregnable. No one can steal from my home.

If you must come, just bring some military flags."

Qi Yuan didn't know how many years he would guard this place.

More flags would always be better.

Otherwise, it wouldn't attract demons, which would be bad.

Yuan Qi felt mixed emotions.

He looked at the thin figure on the city wall and bowed solemnly.

On his way to Wu Gui City, he had not thought about returning.

He didn't know when the city would fall, but he wasn't afraid.

...

In Galan City, the guardian Dong Long had a full beard and mostly white hair.

He stood on the towering city wall, with the Dazui flag flying in the wind.

The guardian looked at Liu Wentai with surprise: "He doesn't want to come?"

Dong Long was indeed surprised.

Great Xia was a small country, not even a tenth the strength of Dazui.

In a little over ten years, Great Xia would lose Wu Gui City and be absorbed into Dazui.

Now, Wu Gui City had a new guardian, a state guardian at that, so Dong Long naturally wanted to recruit him.

"It's a pity." The other party's refusal meant Dong Long couldn't force it.

Guarding a city alone without support or supplies, one day, he would be overwhelmed by the ever-growing demon army.

Dong Long lamented the loss of a hero.

"Dismissed." Since he wouldn't come, Dong Long wouldn't think about it further.

He was at a crucial moment in organizing an army to counterattack Misan.

He had to kill Misan and other demon controllers.

After that, he could return to Dazui. When he left, his granddaughter had just been born. This time, his great-grandson might be getting married.

...

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Below Wu Gui City, Qi Yuan held his sword, facing a thousand demons.

His eyes were blood red, constantly killing.

The powerful demons were like laughable weeds in Qi Yuan's hands, harvested by his broken sword.

His experience bar skyrocketed.

Demon essence also kept accumulating.

Qi Yuan noticed that perhaps due to the demon essence, he grew more excited the more he killed, craving blood.

He was like a cold, heartless war machine, moving in and out of the demon army, and in less than half an hour, he had killed all the thousand demons.

"Done!" Qi Yuan, as usual, blew the blood off his broken sword and returned to the city wall.

The city wall was tall and majestic. With Qi Yuan guarding, no demon had ever climbed it.

On the wall, Yuan Qi looked at the god-like Qi Yuan, full of admiration.

"Congratulations, sir, for repelling the enemy and killing a thousand demons!" Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"No big deal, just needed some exercise." Qi Yuan glanced at Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi had been in Wu Gui City for three years. His face was now much more weathered and yellowed than when they first met.

The once handsome young man had turned into a weather-beaten uncle.

"Sir, there's also good news. Yesterday, Galan City's guardian Dong Long besieged Misan, heavily damaging the demon army, and Misan fled wounded. We will have a few years of peace." Yuan Qi said excitedly.

He deeply admired Dong Long.

After all, every attempt by Great Xia to guard Wu Gui City had ended in total defeat.

But Galan City succeeded in a counterattack!

How could it not be inspiring!

With Misan severely injured, the pressure on Wu Gui City would also lessen.

Qi Yuan's expression didn't change: "I hope the fleeing demon army comes to Wu Gui City."

Such exciting news didn’t affect him at all.

Yuan Qi's smile faded.

Night fell, and the world turned dark.

A familiar voice sounded in Qi Yuan's ear.

"You are becoming more like a demon."

In the underground palace, Ning Tao's pale face was deeply tired.

She looked at Qi Yuan, whom she had trapped, with a complex expression.

"Do I look like a demon?" Qi Yuan's consciousness shifted from Wu Gui City to the mass of flesh.

"Not like, you are." Hearing Qi Yuan's voice, Ning Tao smiled, "I increasingly suspect you are the legendary Blood Demon that brings calamity to all."

Ning Tao was smiling, seemingly proud to know Qi Yuan's identity.

"If I'm the Blood Demon, isn't it dangerous for you to keep me here?" Qi Yuan said, "Let's make a deal, you let me out."

"Let you out so you can bring calamity to the world? I’m not that big-hearted, I only want you to harm me alone." Ning Tao smiled sweetly.

"You don't trust my character. Although I'm not a moral paragon, I often help others.

That Blood Demon stuff, bringing calamity to the world, is all nonsense.

Harming you? I have the self-control of a saint!" Qi Yuan said.

"The master is the number one in the North, one of the two strongest in this world. How could her words be false?" Ning Tao looked at Qi Yuan, "Be obedient. If not, I will hand you over to the master.

Then you'll never see your charming little wife again."

"Not seeing you is fine." Qi Yuan replied.

Maybe due to the demon essence, every time Ning Tao appeared in her black dress and stockings, he would think of the scene where he tore Jiang Lingsu's dress.

Moreover, the scene had evolved.

Not only did he tear Jiang Lingsu's dress, but he also pinned Ning Tao against the wall, took off her stockings, and put them on Jiang Lingsu's legs.

Besides lust, the other six sins of the demon essence also influenced Qi Yuan.

Especially when his consciousness entered the mass of flesh, the seven deadly sins were magnified.

Not seeing Ning Tao might stop the strange thoughts, which was good.

Of course, today Ning Tao wasn’t wearing stockings. Her delicate feet were wrapped in thin silk socks, small and delicate, fitting in one palm.

"Would you really leave me alone here, lonely for hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years?" Ning Tao stared at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with intense possessiveness.

"If I am really the Blood Demon, keeping me here spells disaster for you. The supreme beings of the North won't let you go." Qi Yuan retorted.

Since cultivating the "Qi Yuan Sutra," Qi Yuan felt like he saw through everyone's foolishness. The more he looked at people, the more he thought they had problems.

Ning Tao's cold eyes flashed with frost: "I summoned you, only I can decide your fate. Anyone who wants to kill you must first deal with me."

"You not playing the role of a domineering CEO is a waste." Qi Yuan muttered.

...

Five years later.

In the northern demon control camp.

A burly man in iron armor appeared, shaking the ground.

He looked at Misan in the distance with a mocking expression: "What a waste. Nine cities in Yuzhou, and after all these years, you still can't conquer them. You were even heavily injured and had to flee. You bring shame to the North."

The burly man in iron armor laughed, and his subordinates laughed too.

Misan's face darkened: "Yuzhou is strong, not easy to take."

"Hmph, a waste shouldn't make excuses." The burly man said, "Forget Galan City, even the weakest Wu Gui City, guarded by one state guardian, you couldn't take. Ridiculous."

Misan's eyes showed fear at the mention of Wu Gui City: "Wu Gui City is not simple. That guardian is no ordinary state guardian.

Wu Gui City is not easy to take."

"Misan, just focus on recovering. If you can't take Yuzhou, I, Wutu, will!" Wutu said, striding away with his men.

In the room, Misan's dark expression gradually faded.

Beside him, an ordinary-looking woman said angrily: "Wutu is too arrogant!"

Misan wasn't angry, instead, he looked relaxed: "Don't curse him. I should thank him for taking over Yuzhou for me. Otherwise..."

The woman looked puzzled, not understanding her master.

Misan looked at her and slowly said, "Do you think I really can't defeat Dong Long of Galan City?"

"Master is wise and powerful, defeating Dong Long is a small matter. He used tricks against you..."

Misan was disappointed.

Indeed, few intelligent people understood him.

"I lost to Dong Long on purpose to leave Yuzhou," Misan said proudly. "Yuzhou is a dead end. Wutu will die if he goes there."

The woman was puzzled.

Wutu was a peak state guardian, close to becoming a land myth.

Misan continued, "Remember the guardian of Wu Gui City?"

The woman's face showed hatred: "The seven-colored sisters all died by his hand!"

The seven-colored sisters were Misan's trusted aides.

First, the weakest, Caixia, was sent to attack Wu Gui City and never returned.

Then, her sister Caiyi led a stronger force and also fell outside Wu Gui City.

Next, two more sisters went and died.

Finally, the top three sisters went together, including two state guardians and many strong demons, but they didn't return either.

It was like sending in small forces, then bigger ones, then the oldest and strongest.

When Misan learned of their deaths, he was incredulous.

He initially wanted to destroy Wu Gui City.

But then he calmed down.

He investigated and discovered a terrifying truth.

"The guardian of Wu Gui City was a mere overlord when he arrived.

In a few years, he grew stronger, becoming a state guardian, and not an ordinary one!

Such a person has great fortune and must be killed in one strike. Otherwise, sending people one by one will only make him stronger!" Misan was cautious.

"Is he really that powerful?" The woman asked urgently, "Why not gather a demon army to kill him when he was weak?"

Misan glared at her.

How would I know who he was when he was weak?

Now, the guardian of Wu Gui City was formidable.

Sending another demon army might result in another disaster.

He looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Do you know the White Emperor of the South?"

"Yes, he is as strong as the master."

"Decades ago, the White Emperor's disciples left his palace.

They came to the ten thousand and eight thousand cities to train.

The guardian of Wu Gui City, with great fortune and growing stronger, might be a disciple of the White Emperor." Misan revealed his theory.

That was why he attacked Galan City, deliberately failing and fleeing to leave Yuzhou.

"A disciple of the White Emperor?" The woman was excited. "If we capture him, it would be a great gain!"

She was thrilled.

Capturing the top disciple of the South, the supreme being might personally meet her.

Misan was speechless: "I shouldn't have told you this. With your intelligence, you won't understand.

Capturing a disciple of the White Emperor, what good is that? Besides, is the White Emperor really just an enemy of the master?

We should stay out of big people's affairs."

The woman felt aggrieved, not knowing what she said wrong.
