He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

“Don’t worry about them. I’ll have Gu Changlan meet them in Zhongdu and let them take a look at Beijun while they’re at it.” Fu Xun stood beside her and looked away from her.

"I know, it's just a few thoughts. Young eagles must eventually take flight on their own."

Leng Huan turned around, and the wind on the city wall lifted her skirt and fluttered her hair. Suddenly, she saw snowflakes drifting past her.

A nearby monk shouted, "Look, it's snowflakes!"

"Why is it snowing in Nanyue? It's always warm and humid here, and it never snows."

Leng Huan extended his divine sense, his expression faltering. In the distance, reaching the very edge of the coastline, more and more demonic creatures, like ghosts, were continuously landing.

In the midst of the monster tide, they suddenly split into three groups, and a giant, upright demon appeared, its entire body white and covered in cold, needle-like hairs.

It approached Nanyue City at an extremely high speed, and wherever it passed, the wind and clouds changed color, and snow fell for thousands of miles.

Leng Huan's eyes narrowed. "Is that the Demon Lord?"

Fu Xun shook his head: "No, it's a Nascent Soul Demon General, the highest level of Demon General. Its bloodline is very special, capable of summoning blizzards, hence the name Snow Demon."

The elder of the Crimson Sky Immortal Sect stroked his beard and nodded: "That's right. If we encountered this under normal circumstances, it would be enough to give us a hard time. But now, hahaha, it's useless for them to come. Fortunately, we have built a defensive line."

With a coastline stretching for tens of thousands of miles, the Snow Demons arrived in an instant. Leng Huan looked at the dense sea of ​​demons outside the city, clearing them out every day, only to find another wave of demons coming every seven or eight days.

To save energy, everyone decided to focus their efforts on clearing the area every three days, taking turns to do so. Otherwise, the cultivators would also suffer from constant fighting.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Fu Xun made a move, and the space around the Snow Demon distorted. A transparent giant hand grabbed at it. The Snow Demon suddenly stopped. Just as the Nascent Soul level demon general next to him was about to ask him what was wrong, the Snow Demon suddenly exploded!

First came the cracking sound, then the sound of the demon core being crushed with a bang, and the demon soul was imprisoned by an invisible force and disappeared into nothingness.

Everyone was on high alert when, unexpectedly, the Snow Demon exploded out of thin air, the sky suddenly brightened, and the ice and snow dissipated.

A Nascent Soul cultivator stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in astonishment, "This is the method of the Mahayana stage..."

It is not a vastness that changes the color of the sun and moon, but rather a low-key and silent casualness.

It could easily destroy a Nascent Soul level demon with a single grab or squeeze, a powerful force that inspired awe and longing.

Over there, Leng Huan swiftly dispatched another Flame Demon whose body was as hard as iron with a single strike of his Frost Crystal Sword—the flames he spewed could easily pierce armor, making him equivalent to a Nascent Soul expert, someone who would normally be quite a handful.

"You two..." The elder of the Crimson Sky Immortal Sect was about to offer some flattery, but when he turned around, the person had already disappeared.

Leng Huan and Fu Xun had already left the city wall and arrived at the transfer array square. The place was empty at this time, and wartime mode had been activated.

Unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach. Leng Huan and Fu Xun did not use spirit stones; they directly input massive amounts of spiritual power into the formation to activate it and teleport to Nanzhan-Chaohai City.

Then, they went to Penglai City in the Western Nether Continent. Once they exited the teleportation array, the situation was similar: only major sects had sent people to guard the array and Penglai City.

Penglai City, located in the eastern part of the Western Nether Continent, is very beautiful, but the invasion of demons has made people tremble with fear. After so much time, and with the deployment of experts to guard it, it has been basically recovered. Therefore, this is not the front line.

The land of fallen gods in the far west was the first place to fall. That place was flat, with only small mountains on the north side and open plains on the south side. There was a city called Xiqi City there, which gradually developed and prospered after the Battle of Hongyuan and was renamed Xiqi City.

Leng Huan and Fu Xun were heading there, and Song Kaiyang was also there.

At this time, the area east of Xiqi City had been largely cleared. Countless cultivators were defending Xiqi City against the enemy. The city gate's protective array emitted spiritual light when attacked, and the attacks it was enduring intensified, causing the array to tremble.

Outside the city, a tidal wave of demons surged forth, relentlessly attacking the city.

The blue-purple rainbow light arrived above Xiqi City like a swift star. When the light dissipated, it revealed the figures of Leng Huan and Fu Xun. Instantly, the aura of a Mahayana master enveloped the entire Land of Fallen Gods.

The attacking monster stopped working, paused for a moment, then roared to the sky, its roar echoing throughout Xiqi City.

Song Kaiyang was the first to see them and was overjoyed: "Disciple! Nephew Leng!" He flew to them on his magic sword, "What brings you here?"

Fu Xun nodded: "Master, it's good that you're alright."

"Uncle-Master Song, I'm glad you're alright." Leng Huan frowned slightly. "Why are there only two Nascent Soul cultivators here, you and Senior Wen? The rest are all low-level cultivators."

Song Kaiyang had only advanced to the Integration stage a few years ago, as had Wen Changge standing on the city wall below. However, Xiqi City was the gateway, yet there were only the two of them with a few Nascent Soul cultivators, while the rest were low-level cultivators stationed there.

"It's a long story," Song Kaiyang sighed. "The Western Nether forces were in disarray and failed to stop the demons in time. Western Qi City fell several times, and we only managed to take it back a month ago. There are countless demons in other places as well, and everyone needs people. There are also many internal conflicts within the Immortal Sect."

The main reason was that the Changming Immortal Sect lost its divine seal, causing chaos among the higher-ups and major powers. They were unable to respond to the demon invasion in time. Moreover, this place was the center of the Hongyuan Rift and was the first to be invaded. By the time they reacted, the demons had already spread all over the continent.

Leng Huan and Fu Xun exchanged a glance and understood the reason. She looked at the surging demons outside the city and the more distant shores of the Western Sea. Her divine sense extended to the sea area, and tens of thousands of miles away, she could vaguely see a black vortex appearing in the sky above the sea, with a trace of golden light in it.

That is the spatial rift where the seal has loosened.

Monsters were continuously transported out of it, rushing from the sea to the four continents.

"Uncle-Master, let's clear out the monster tide first, then we'll join you."

Song Kaiyang then realized: "You guys have actually reached the Mahayana stage! Hahaha, very good, very good, the master of my Immortal Sect is indeed the number one righteous path."

"Come on! Let your master witness the power of a Mahayana cultivator." After saying that, he stepped back to let them do their thing. The few of them guarding the city were exhausted, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After hearing what the others said, Wen Changge knew that Leng Huan and his companion were formidable. He leaped up and stood beside Song Kaiyang, watching them make their move. "It's been a long time since I've seen you two."

"Senior Wen is still as impressive as ever!"

Leng Huan greeted them, then looked outside the city. With a flick of his wrist, he raised a sword. Without even forming a hand seal, space distorted, and a massive divine weapon descended from the sky outside the city, carrying an overwhelming aura. With a gentle slash, it appeared.

Extremely slow, yet extremely fast. The demons within a mile of the city wall were swept away like weeds in a gust of wind, and then two seconds later, a deafening explosion occurred.

The terrifying spiritual pressure then spread outwards for over a mile, annihilating all low-level demons along the way, leaving only severed limbs for those at the Nascent Soul stage.

Leng Huan controlled his spiritual power very well, and the city wall was not affected at all.

This is the power to destroy everything in its path. She gently clenched her slightly trembling fingers. She was by no means the kind of old monster who had barely advanced to the next level, but a real, powerful Mahayana cultivator!
