We bear people have power

The Tang Dynasty was once the most powerful and civilized nation under the heavens. Li Shimin carved out this vast empire amidst the chaos of war and won the favor of humanity.

As the saying goes, when the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength. Li Shimin fought over a hundred battles at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and always seemed to be blessed with good fortune, creating countless legends with narrow escapes.

Once, when Guan Bo entered Chang'an City, he was suppressed by the extremely strong humanistic luck, making it difficult for him to manifest his true form, and ninety percent of his magical power was sealed.

This is why there are very few monsters causing trouble within the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty. The three most powerful monsters are probably the three Golden Core demons: Te Chushi, Xiong Shanjun, and He Yin General. Most of the others are not worth mentioning.

With these three recklessly provoking Guan Bo, the Special Envoy and General Yin died, and Xiong Shan Jun became Wu Zetian's mount. Within the Tang Dynasty, it was practically a land without great demons; even a minor demon could claim to be king.

It was precisely because of the special nature of the Tang Dynasty that monsters dared not easily cause trouble within its borders. Otherwise, they might be killed by a few farmers with hoes, which would truly be a disgrace to themselves.

But today seems to be a little different.

The chubby wolf demon, covered in wounds, descended from Twin Fork Ridge. He had originally been General Yin's subordinate, but ever since that demon king's reckless actions led to his death, Twin Fork Ridge had lost its leader.

The three demon kings' subordinates had been engaged in open and covert struggles over this tiny place, Twin Fork Ridge. At first, everyone was somewhat hesitant, fearing that the three demon kings would return and devour the one who was jumping the most around.

But as time went on, the monsters on Twin Fork Ridge became increasingly certain that the three demon kings had truly surrendered, so they became unrestrained. Small battles every three days and large battles every five days resulted in heavy casualties among the monsters of Twin Fork Ridge from the infighting alone.

This wolf demon was one of them, but he was defeated by other demons and could only slink away from Twin Fork Ridge. He was lucky; those less fortunate would have become the excrement of other demons.

The wolf demon could only console himself with this thought before hurrying down the mountain towards the center of the Tang Dynasty.

Based on his past experience, the closer one gets to the prosperous areas of the Tang Dynasty, the more severely the strength of the demons is suppressed. Now that the wolf demon is seriously injured, it can only flee to a place like the Tang Dynasty, which demons avoid at all costs.

To the wolf demon's surprise, after traveling hundreds of miles eastward to a populated area, it still did not feel its demonic power being suppressed.

"What's going on today? Am I lucky, or did I take the wrong path?" the wolf demon asked in shock.

Despite the pain in his body, the wolf demon climbed to a high place and took a look.

"I didn't go to the wrong place. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has lost its power to suppress monsters?" The wolf demon was startled by his own thought.

If that's true, then I'm probably the first monster to discover it. Opportunity knocks but once; this is my most difficult time right now. An unrestrained Tang Dynasty would be my paradise.

Perhaps other monsters will soon discover this, but he is the first to enjoy this benefit.

A surge of excitement welled up within him, and the wolf demon felt his injuries had healed considerably. With lightning speed, he ran towards a small mountain village where smoke curled from the chimneys.

What was once a peaceful little village was transformed into a living hell in an instant. Even though this wolf demon was just an insignificant little demon in the Twin Fork Territory, and was also seriously injured, to mortals, the wolf demon with its demonic power, sharp teeth, and claws was still an invincible monster.

The village was too small, with fewer than a hundred people, and the wolf demon killed more than half of them. The rest were lucky; the wolf demon was only focused on eating people and didn't kill them all, which is why they escaped with their lives.

The wolf demon was biting a child's thigh, tearing at it with relish. As it continued to devour the flesh and blood of the children, its injuries were visibly healing.

In this world, most demons possess some form of magic that allows them to devour flesh and blood to regenerate. However, the flesh and blood of other demons contain different kinds of demonic power, making them difficult to digest. Humans, on the other hand, have the most delicious flesh and no demonic power, making them the best source of nourishment.

Otherwise, why would those demon kings like to capture people to eat? If they really wanted to eat meat, there would be far more meat on cattle and sheep than on humans, and it wouldn't cause any trouble.

The wolf demon devoured the old, weak, women, and children in the village, filling his belly to bursting. However, he quickly digested the essence of the flesh and blood, which not only healed most of his injuries but also increased his demonic power cultivation, which had been difficult to improve.

"Sure enough, the Tang Dynasty has lost its power to suppress demons. If I can eat a few people every day, I'll be able to achieve Foundation Establishment soon!" The wolf demon laughed smugly.

Then he lay comfortably among the mangled limbs and fell asleep. His nose was filled with the pungent smell of blood, but his mind was filled with horrifying dreams.

In his dream, he condensed his golden core by eating people, with countless corpses beneath his feet. All the monsters who had driven him to desperation in the Twin Fork Territory had become his underlings, now worshipping him.

If we let him keep eating like this, he might actually eat his way to a golden elixir.

After spending two or three days in this village, which had become a dead zone, and consuming all the edible flesh and blood, the wolf demon continued its journey, heading towards areas with more people.

He knew very well that the changes in the Tang Dynasty would soon be discovered by other demons. He still had the upper hand, and if he didn't seize the opportunity to gain more advantages, he would suffer a great loss later.

Having tasted human flesh and experienced the feeling of constantly increasing demonic power, this wolf demon had no desire to return to the days when it had to painfully absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

This wolf demon traveled eastward, slaughtering any small groups it encountered, and specifically hunting down lone individuals when it came to densely populated towns that might be dangerous.

In a short period of time, the wolf demon had killed more than three hundred people. As he ate more and more people, the wolf demon's injuries were fully healed, and he finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago.

Confident and emboldened, the wolf demon decided to pull off a big operation. He hid along the main road, targeting passersby. This way, he wouldn't need to move; he could simply capture the person, hide them in a secluded spot, eat them, and then come out to continue hunting.

Not only ordinary passersby were affected, but even caravans with guards suffered.

For some time now, news of the wolf demon's mischief has spread throughout the borderlands. It's not that no one has considered asking cultivators to deal with this wolf demon; unfortunately, cultivators with cultivation levels are hard to find, especially since this wolf demon is as swift as the wind and has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Those rogue cultivators who only know how to use illusions to swindle money are no match for it.

After repelling several encirclements, the wolf demon became increasingly arrogant.

In broad daylight, this wolf demon stopped an army on the official road.

"Hehe, soldiers' meat is the most chewy," the wolf demon said smugly.

He originally thought that these soldiers would be terrified and flee in all directions when they saw him, and then he could catch up with them and kill them one by one with his speed far exceeding that of a galloping horse.

To the wolf demon's surprise, these people not only did not run away, but one of them, who looked like a general, actually charged towards him.

In the distance, the sounds of wind and thunder could be faintly heard, and lightning crackled across the man's hands.
