The Legend of the Demon Hunter

When Xiao Zhu heard Xia Shi mention Yun Ke, he remembered the scene when he met Yun Ke and Di Rong in Tianjian Forest outside Nuowan City in his early years.

So, the white animal in front of us that looks like a civet cat is actually a Yunlu.

However, an adult Yunlu is a genuine level six magical beast, while this Yunlu is not yet an adult and only has the strength of a level four magical beast.

But don't underestimate it because of this. The Yunlu monster is very outstanding in both intelligence and attack. Even if it is only level four, it can compete with ordinary level five monsters if it puts all its strength.

"I met your brother Yun Ke five years ago, but he has passed away now." Xia Shi thought about it and decided to tell Yun Shu the truth.

"No, it's impossible! My brother was so powerful, how could he die... Who are you? What makes you say that?" Hearing this, Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, then replied in disbelief.

"My name is Xia Shi. We met your brother in a place in the southern Rhine Empire five years ago. At that time, he was only a remnant soul left. He was a kind-hearted man. With his help, I successfully completed the third blood awakening. It's a pity that I didn't have enough ability to save him. I had to watch him die in front of me." Xia Shi said with a gloomy expression as she recalled the experience of that year.

"Brother helped you complete the third blood awakening?" Yun Shu paid attention to this sentence. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you come closer? I can verify whether what you said is true or not."

Hearing Yun Shu's request, Xiao Zhu was alert and pulled Xia Shi. Although Xia Shi had just reached the Soul Hunting Realm, she had no fighting ability after all. Once she encountered Yun Lu's attack, Xia Shi would have absolutely no way to defend herself.

Xia Shi turned around and smiled faintly at Xiao Zhu. That smile was as beautiful as a blooming pear flower. Xia Shi said softly, "Brother, don't worry. I can feel that Yun Shu has no ill intentions."

After hearing what Xia Shi said, Xiao Zhu let go of Xia Shi's hand and let her walk towards Yun Shu. But he also tensed up his nerves and concentrated his spiritual power on his hands to prevent Yun Shu from doing anything bad to Xia Shi.

But what Xiao Zhu worried about did not happen. Yun Shu rubbed Xia Shi's body with its big furry tail, and then sniffed Xia Shi's body with its nose.

"I can feel that you do have your brother's aura on you. This aura is gentle and friendly. I believe you are not lying to me." Yun Shu's attitude became much friendlier.

"I'm sorry to bring you bad news." Xia Shi said apologetically.

Yun Shu was silent for a long time. Although it was a magical beast, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi could feel the sadness in it.

Yun Shu seemed to have made up his mind and said to Xia Shi, "Can you take me to the place where my brother died? I want to go there and take a look."

Hearing Yun Shu's request, Xia Shi nodded and said, "Okay! We are planning to return to the Rhine Empire, and we can take you with us then."

After getting Xia Shi's affirmative answer, Yun Shu walked up to Xia Shi and said gratefully, "Thank you, brother said that people with Shenyue bloodline are kind-hearted."

Xia Shi smiled and stretched out her white jade hand to gently stroke Yun Shu's furry hair. She really liked this innocent Yun Shu who knew nothing about the world.

Seeing that Xia Shi and Yun Shu were getting along very well, Xiao Zhu finally felt relieved. He looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. It would take about a week to get back to Nuowan City from here. He said, "In that case, let's set off for Nuowan City early!"

Seven days later.

The closer he got to Nuowan City, the more homesick Xiao Zhu felt. During the several months since he left Nuowan City and went to Huanling Country, he had experienced too many things.

Experience makes people mature, but also makes people miss the simpler days of the past.

The three years at Novan College were the happiest three years of his growth. He made many friends and gained a lot of knowledge here. He already regarded Novan City as his second home.

Landing at the gate of Nuowan City, Xiao Zhu looked at Yun Shu. He remembered that Nuowan City was protected by the Demon-Slaying Array, and the monsters could not enter the city.

"Xiao Shu, Nuowan City has a formation protecting it from monsters. It will be dangerous if you enter the formation." Xiao Zhu said to Yun Shu.

"Brother Zhu, Sister Shier, this won't be a problem for Xiaoshu." Yunshu smiled cunningly, and turned around on the spot. The aura of the demon beast on his body disappeared completely, just like a wild beast without any spiritual power.

After doing all this, Yun Shu swaggered through the Demon-Slaying Formation, but the Demon-Slaying Formation did not react at all.

This scene made Xia Shi nervous, and she only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yun Shu was safe and sound. She ran to Yun Shu and asked, "Oh my God! Xiaoshu, how did you do that?" Xia Shi was stunned with shock.

“Sister Shier, our Yunlu clan is naturally good at disguise. It’s no problem for us to fool a mere formation!” Yun Shu said proudly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu suddenly thought: "No wonder Senior Chang Yujin said that he went to the valley where you live several times and didn't find anything unusual. It turns out that you have such a unique skill!"

"That guy is so powerful and has a strong perception. I was almost discovered by him once!" Yun Shu showed a look of horror on his face when he heard Changyu Jinnian's name.

"Okay! Don't worry, Xiaoshu. Senior Changyu is a good person." Xia Shi touched the hair on Yunshu's head.

"Xiao Shu, you are too eye-catching after all. After entering the city, let's go to the auction house of the Demon Hunter Association first. I want to see if there is a suitable spirit beast shrine there. If you encounter a lot of people, you can go in and take shelter temporarily." Xiao Zhu said.

"Well, okay!" Yun Shu was a little cowardly and timid, and he agreed without hesitation when he heard Xiao Zhu's proposal.

Walking on the spacious streets of Novan City, Xiao Zhu once again saw the statue engraved with "The Immortal Spirit of the Demon Hunter". When he first saw this statue many years ago, he was just a small junior demon hunter. Now, with the passage of time, the president's token of the Xuanwu branch of the Demon Hunter Association is lying quietly in his storage jade bracelet.

"Brother, do you feel something is wrong on the street?" As a girl, Xia Shi is particularly delicate.

"No, Shier, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"The first time we came to Nuowan City, the streets were bustling with people coming and going. But this time, it seems to be much quieter. We didn't see many people along the way." Xia Shi reminded.

Hearing Xia Shi say this, Xiao Zhu suddenly realized. He looked around and said, "Yes! Why is Nuowan City so deserted today?"

"Could something have happened?" Xia Shi guessed.

"Let's speed up and go to the Demon Hunter Association. We'll know when we get there." Xiao Zhu nodded.
