The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 272 The Conquered Continent

Twilight forest.

With a flash of light, a figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Xiao Zhu who had returned from the Tianling Land.

He looked around. At this moment, he was in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan. He was standing on the roof of the Beast God Church in the ancient city of Loulan.

Nine months have passed, but this place is still as desolate as when he left.

Xiao Zhu had no intention of staying here, so he spread the wind and thunder wings behind him and flew towards the Western Tide Kingdom.

Ever since Xiao Zhu broke through to the middle stage of Soul Hunting, he vaguely felt that the wind and thunder spiritual power in the wind and thunder wings behind him showed signs of merging with the five elements spiritual power in his body. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and presumably no one had ever encountered such a situation before him, so Xiao Zhu was not sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

There will be no result if I continue thinking about it, so I might as well just take it one step at a time.

Xiao Zhufei was high in the sky. With his current strength, he was confident that he could escape even if he encountered the Beast King, so he naturally flew at full speed without any scruples.

Xiao Zhu looked down at the Dusk Forest from the air, and suddenly he had a feeling that the Dusk Forest seemed to be even quieter than when he came here. He had flown for hundreds of miles, but he hadn't seen a single magical beast, which was extremely strange.

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the distant sky. It was a snake-shaped monster, shuttling through the clouds and flying rapidly towards Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu was a little shocked at first, but after he saw the figure clearly, he accelerated and flew towards the monster.

With the speed of Xiao Zhu and the monster, the two met after a while. At the same time, Xiao Zhu also saw clearly the two people standing on the back of the monster.

"Gu Chuan, Xue Miao, didn't we agree to meet in Haining City? Why are you back?"

It turned out that the ones flying over were Gu Chuan and Lin Xue Miao riding on the back of Teng Snake.

"We are here to find you." said Furukawa.

"Looking for me?" Xiao Zhu first asked in doubt, then seemed to realize something, and then asked in surprise: "What happened?"

"Xiao, Haining City has fallen. We were afraid that you would make a wasted trip or even be in danger, so we came here to pick you up. We thought your retreat would take some time to end, but we didn't expect that your bloodline breakthrough would be faster than we expected." Lin Xuemiao replied.

"Haining City has fallen?" Xiao Zhu asked in shock, "Was it a sea monster?"

There is a vast ocean to the west of Haining City, and Haining City is often attacked by monsters in the ocean, so Xiao Zhu first thought of the sea monsters. However, Haining City is the largest city in Tide Country after all. It is not only protected by magic circles, but also has the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Association stationed on the Wulong Mountain next to Haining City. So if it is said that Haining City has fallen, Xiao Zhu still feels incredible.

"It's not a sea monster, it's a human." Lin Xuemiao shook her head.

"Human?" Xiao Zhu felt even more confused.

"Yes, it's the Demon Cult." Gu Chuan explained: "It's a long story. I'll take you to a place and you'll know it once you see it."

Xiao Zhu nodded when he heard that. He flew to the back of Teng Snake. Teng Snake flew into the air and turned around to fly towards the southwest of the Mu Ye Forest.

The group flew in the air for about an hour and a half. At this time, they had completely flown out of the range of the Dusk Forest and arrived at a beautiful mountain. Teng Snake did not stop and flew straight to the top of the mountain.

"This is Luoxia Peak." Lin Xuemiao explained to Xiao Zhu.

"Luoxia Peak, could it be..." Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of the stunning beauty Yuan Yeying and others whom he met when he first entered the Muye Forest.

"Well, this is the location of Feixia Sect, one of the three major sects in Tianfang Kingdom." Lin Xuemiao replied.

"Why are we coming here?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Don't worry, you'll understand later." Furukawa deliberately kept the question in suspense.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tengshe had already flown to the top of Luoxia Peak. The style here was completely different from the Wulong Mountain that Xiao Zhu had visited. The top of Wulong Mountain was majestic, with a wide square and magnificent buildings, while the top of Luoxia Peak was full of the graceful beauty of women. Several courtyards were built on the top of the mountain, and various flowers, plants and trees were planted in the courtyards. In different seasons, the landscape presented different styles, just like a paradise.

It really is a sect composed entirely of women.

But at this moment, Xiao Zhu suddenly noticed something unusual.

In the courtyard at the top of Luoxia Peak, there were many corpses lying crookedly. Some of these corpses were from monsters, and some were from humans. As Tengshe flew closer and closer, more and more corpses could be seen.

"What's going on? Has this place been invaded by monsters?" Xiao Zhu widened his eyes in disbelief.

At this moment, Xiao Zhu noticed an exceptionally large corpse. It was a dead tiger with pure white hair. The tiger was at least thirty or forty meters long, and lying there it looked like a magnificent building.

Gu Chuan noticed Xiao Zhu's gaze and explained, "This is the sixth-level beast king, the White Tiger with hanging eyes."

"Beast King?" Xiao Zhu understood how powerful the Beast King was. Even if the monsters invaded the human sect, it was unlikely to cause the death of the Beast King or the Hunting King. Xiao Zhu realized that the situation was not as simple as he imagined.

What exactly happened during the nine months of his retreat?

"All of this stems from the Red Lotus Cult's invasion of the Central Plains. They mobilized tens of thousands of troops and marched through the Dusk Forest, where they had a decisive battle with the Demonic Beasts and the Feixia Sect. The three parties suffered countless casualties, but in the end the Demon Cult won, but they also left behind many corpses." Lin Xuemiao explained.

"Red Lotus?" Xiao Zhu instantly thought of Ning Zhiwan. However, ever since Ning Zhiwan died together with Zhulong in the Buluolan Snowfield, the core forces of the Red Lotus Cult were either dead or injured. In Xiao Zhu's mind, this religion had been greatly damaged, and at least it would not be able to cause any trouble in the short term.

Why in just two years did the Red Lotus Cult dare to invade the Central Plains, and directly crossed the Dusk Forest where magical beasts gathered?

This level of strength is something that the Red Lotus Cult, at its peak when Ning Zhiwan was still around, could not have possessed.

"Who is the current Pope of the Red Lotus Sect?" Xiao Zhu realized the most crucial issue and expressed his doubts.

"I don't know." Gu Chuan shook his head. "The Red Lotus Cult invaded the Central Plains with more than one group of troops this time. As far as I know, they have three armies in total. The Pope is not in any of them. But you must know the commander who led the Red Lotus Cult to break through the Dusk Forest. Her name is Lan Jiuyin."
