I picked up the scattered attributes

"We can't let them get there first."

Amidst the immense pressure, the girl's voice drifted from afar.

On the ancient king's chariot, Mo Lianque was almost swept away by the oncoming storm and fell to the ground. He involuntarily murmured, "Miss Zhu... Miss Zhu, she... she's also a demon beast lord? Wait, what did she say she was going to do?!"

"This elder is going too!"

Lei Shao completely ignored him, leaving him with only his back as he leaped off the chariot.

……

Chapter 0177

In just a few breaths, the number of people in the huge ancient king's chariot carriage was reduced by more than half.

Mo Lianque stood there, his eyes wide open, his expression best described in two words...

That was incredibly awkward!

Sorry, this seems to be four characters.

"These guys... these guys!!" He gritted his teeth and hissed, his face dark, "Are they trying to drive me to my death?!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Just then, the Nonghua and Nongyue sisters walked over, their steps light and silent, appearing behind Mo Lianque. The younger sister, Nongyue, tilted her head and chuckled contemptuously, "Don't forget, Ying Chengpeng is no longer your partner. Are you still thinking of finding another demon king to cooperate with?"

More accurately, from beginning to end, Mo Lianque's partner was not the Golden Roc Demon King Ying Chengpeng himself, but his own son Ying Huayu.

Now, not only has Ying Huayu been completely killed and his cultivation vanished, but Mo Lianque has even personally participated in the encirclement and killing of Ying Chengpeng's wolf king incarnation!

Upon hearing this, Mo Lianque's expression darkened slightly.

He murmured subconsciously, "Even so, if I can preserve my strength now, I can still find other partners in the future..."

"Then tell me, which demon beast lord, or which demon king, would be willing to fight against another demon king for the sake of a human Yuan Dan realm cultivator like you?" Nongyue, the younger sister, continued to sneer.

"I..." Mo Lianque opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

"Humanity."

Just then, Qinglin suddenly walked over with a serious expression, her arms crossed over her flat chest, seemingly wanting to pat Mo Lianque on the shoulder. However, she quickly realized that she wasn't tall enough, so she could only pout and say in a rather deep tone, "Go down, meow."

Mo Lianque: "………………?"

Long Da looked heartbroken and couldn't bear to watch any longer: "What's wrong with you, Mom?! Why is your cat-like transformation getting worse?!"

At the same time, Mo Lianque felt himself being lifted off the ground, losing his balance. Caught off guard, he was kicked in the knee by Qing Lin, crashing through the car door with a loud bang and falling into the vast sea of ​​clouds!

"His Majesty--"

"His Majesty!!"

Mo Zian and the others in the carriage screamed in surprise.

High above, the wind howled and pale clouds swept past Mo Lianque.

"Could it be that I... have done something wrong?"

For the first time, the emperor of Xuanwu felt a sense of bewilderment.

But then, that confusion turned into determination: "No, I did nothing wrong. All along, I have been thinking about the future of the human race, both in the past and in the future!"

"However, there is one thing they are absolutely right about. My greatest interest right now is not any demon king, but the Wind Master of Thousand Autumn Valley!"

Recalling the records he had seen in the royal library about seven hundred years ago, and the era when humanity rose to power and the "Slaying Sword" Chao Haisheng, with only his sword, slaughtered his way to the point where the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons bowed down, Mo Lianque couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

He vaguely saw the shadow of the Killing Sword from back then in this young Feng Sect Leader!

"Hehe... You all underestimate me. I was unaware of this before. But now, how could I let go of a human powerhouse with boundless potential and choose to conspire with the demon king of the demon race?"

Boom——

In mid-air, His Majesty the Emperor twisted his body, unleashing his Qi and Blood Domain, transforming into a blood-red rainbow that shot straight towards the place where Feng Xia had disappeared.

Seeing that Mo Lianque had moved, Long Da and Qing Lin also leaped out of the ancient king's chariot and chased after him.

In just a short while, only Mo Zian and a few others remained in the carriage; the rest of the powerful figures had all left!

"This...this one or two is really..." Mo Zian opened his mouth, then gave a helpless bitter smile, "They don't give us any time to think!"

However, he also knew very well that the situation was urgent and there was no room for too much hesitation or worry.

Therefore, the emperor's strategist took a deep breath, circulated his cultivation, and shouted in a loud voice, "Ancient King's Chariot, let's go!"

……

"I see. Although the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is ruled by a series of demon beast lords, it doesn't mean that all the territories have owners. Between the territories of the various demon beast lords, there are often vast unclaimed areas."

Feng Xia nodded repeatedly, gleaning more useful information from Ying Chengpeng and Niu Mang's conversation: "It's somewhat similar to the feudal system on Earth, but the reasons for its formation and its specific manifestations are quite different from the feudal system."

Of course, he also confirmed one thing...

Niu Mang has a really foul mouth.

"Stupid ox, now that Brother Xing... oh, Brother Xing has joined us, can't you at least clean your stinking mouth a little? Or just shut up for me?"

"Isn't it just making an old ox spew out foul language?" Niu Mang chewed on some unknown magical flower, his words slurred. "That kind of stupid thing is a piece of cake, okay?"

"My territory is far from here, but the several demon beast lords in this area are mostly subordinates of the Heavenly Serpent. I believe no one would refuse if I visited their homes."

Ying Chengpeng simply ignored Niu Mang and turned to introduce them to Feng Xia. The two of them, one human and one demon, flew across the vast sky and headed towards a rushing river.

The river flows mightily, crashing against the sky.

Feng Xia's heart stirred slightly. In the mouths of many demonic beasts, this river was called "Yuanqing River". It was said that this great river originated from five different tributaries, flowing from northwest to southeast and running across the entire Canglan Mountain Range.

Even the many demons of the Demon Kingdom do not know where the Yuanqing River ends or where it ultimately flows into the world.

"Hmph, my only son was killed, my avatar was destroyed, and now, I've been ambushed by that bastard, the Heavenly Serpent..."

Gazing at the surging river, Ying Chengpeng suddenly transformed into his original form, his wingspan reaching dozens of feet, becoming a golden shadow that blotted out the sky. The golden light tore through the air, like countless sword beams bursting forth in an instant, piercing into the bottom of the Yuanqing River at the same time!

Boom boom boom boom——

Large swathes of river water burst open, turning into billowing clouds of steam. At the same time, a series of fierce curses echoed from below. It was a demon beast lord cursing angrily, but it was to no avail. After a few breaths, the cursing gradually subsided, leaving only a thick, crimson blood color that slowly drifted and spread across the river.

A demon lord has fallen!

"The Heavenly Serpent has escaped, but you lot can't. It's just the right time to kill you all and let my Star Brothers have a taste of this delicacy of the mortal world!"

"...This, this is a little inappropriate, isn't it?" Feng Xia couldn't help but twitch her lips. Is this what you mean by visiting someone's home?

You clearly killed the master right away!

"There's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, I have many things to do next that I need to rely on Brother Xing's abilities."

The Golden Roc Demon King shook his head and answered calmly.

……

Chapter 0178

Just then, a huge corpse slowly floated to the surface of the river.

Feng Xia looked closely and saw a bright red carp with wings on its back. Under the sunlight, its scales shimmered with silver light, and the faint aura emanating from it already made Feng Xia feel a certain pressure.

Clearly, this is also a powerful demon beast lord!

However, he died.

It died a very thorough and gruesome death, with almost no part of its body intact. Even with the river water as a buffer, Ying Chengpeng, the demon king, was still able to easily kill this demon beast lord in his rage.

The vast difference in strength is evident from this.

"What a pity, this guy's true form is even larger than an eagle in its feathered form. If we could carry it back to Thousand Autumns Valley, it would be enough to feed the disciples for several months..."

Feng Xia shook his head with regret: "Moreover, the bodies of these Yuan Dan realm demon beasts contain a considerable amount of Yuan Qi and Yuan Energy. Even without special treatment, they can be stored for a long time without decaying."

Of course, this was just something he was thinking.

Now, with Golden Roc Demon King Ying Chengpeng in front of him and another demon king present, even if Feng Xia is incredibly bold, he can't openly take him away.

"What a pity, if we could take her back, Youniang would be so happy..."

Feng Xia was slightly lost in thought for a moment before recalling the events.

I remember after killing Ying Huayu, Zhu Youniang was very excited and dragged Yinghua Yu along to taste the flavor of the Demon King's Son... oh no, the flavor of the Demon King's Son?

"Did Brother Xing just say something?"

Ying Chengpeng turned his head with a puzzled look, and then swiftly dismembered the enormous demonic fish, turning it into neat pieces of flesh that fell to the ground.

Feng Xia immediately shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing important, but, Brother Dao, you said you needed my help... what's going on here?"

Ying Chengpeng's strength is definitely not weak; in fact, judging from his attack just now, he might be even stronger than expected.

He was able to successfully ambush Ying Chengpeng multiple times simply because he had the advantage of striking first and because he took advantage of Ying Chengpeng's complete ignorance of him, making it impossible for him to recognize his enemy standing right in front of him.

If it really came down to a direct battle, Feng Xia estimated that even if ten of himself were tied up, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Ying Chengpeng.

"I wonder if there's any way to beat this demon king a few times..." Feng Xia thought to himself with a hint of resentment.

Look, such a big bird at such close range!

I can't just pull out the Jinghua Hammer... no, I should pull out the Jinghua Sword and give him a good whack; that would be a disservice to the name Fengxia.
