Jing Le's eyes narrowed as he watched this scene; the person behind it all was indeed targeting the Great Yong.

The black-clad man's flute playing grew more intense, and the animals, as if receiving a command, began to attack the city walls.

They are now vastly different from what they used to be; they are physically strong and powerful.

Any blow to the city wall would leave a hole, but how could Jing Le let that happen?

"Take care of those animals, then I'll deal with the men in black."

As soon as Jing Le finished speaking, she squeezed her legs together, and the white tiger suddenly darted out and chased after the black man.

When the animals started attacking, the man in black went to another place.

They completely ignored the animals.

Jing Le also wanted to see if the person behind the other party would appear; if they did, it would save her the trouble of searching.

We solved it together.

As for the border, with Ying San and Duan Feibai there, I don't need to worry at all.

After following the man in black for fifteen minutes, the man in front finally stopped.

A ripple spread through the air; that was the barrier.

At that moment, the man in black took out a token from his body and sensed the barrier.

An invisible door appeared, leading to a giant mountain. Jing Le and Bai Hu followed the man in black inside.

The man in black then went to a stone gate next to the giant mountain, pressed on the mountain, and a stone cave opened. He quickly went inside, and the cave closed.

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun Jing Le, so he didn't know that Jing Le had already come in carrying the shrunken white tiger.

Jing Le followed the black man deeper and deeper into the earth, eventually passing through several stone gates.

Wow, this person is hiding so well behind the scenes, are they afraid of being discovered?

[White Tiger: Master, perhaps the person behind this is trying to avoid you.]

Because in Baihu's mind, Jingle is now truly an omnipotent being.

She has the body of a little girl but the strength of a powerful figure; no one can stop her.

Even if you don't see Ao Le, the Dragon King, you still need something from your master.

[Hehe, while I gladly accept your praise, we can't be so narcissistic. We don't even know who's behind this, so how can you say it's to avoid me?]

Jing Le and Bai Hu weren't in a hurry at all, and even had the leisure to complain while following behind the black man.

"You're back. How did things go?"

Just then, an old voice came from behind. Jing Le looked up and saw that it was indeed an old acquaintance.

"Little White, you're absolutely right this time. The other party is trying to avoid your owner."

The white tiger also turned its head to look in the direction of the voice.

[White Tiger: It's him! No, wasn't the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor killed by our master? How did he turn into an old man?]

The White Tiger is truly a sight to behold.

This one looks exactly like the National Preceptor, except he looks much older.

But no matter how you look at it, it's definitely the Imperial Advisor himself.

But wasn't the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor killed by Jing Le?

Is there something inside that it doesn't know about? But it hasn't been by Jing Le's side the whole time, so there's no reason it wouldn't know.

Jing Le's next sentence resolved Bai Hu's doubts.

[Because the former imperial advisor and this old man are the same person: the demon elder, Shi Changfeng.]

All that we saw before were fragments of souls, or clones.

There's one more thing she didn't mention: Shi Changfeng has countless clones hiding in this world.

These past two days have been relatively quiet, and Jing Le even thought that the other party's clone had disappeared.

The result was that they hid and prepared a big move.

Before Baihu could continue speaking, the man in black who had been asked the question answered:

"My lord, I have followed your orders and released a hundred strange beasts into the border of Dayong to attack the city."

"Presumably, we'll know the news of the border breach by dawn, and then the entire border will be under your control."

At this point, the Black man's expression became noticeably agitated.

"Hahaha, very good. When the time comes to control the entire border, you will have made a great contribution."

Shi Changfeng laughed heartily. His current strength was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and he still had to suppress multiple clones within his body, so he left all external matters to his subordinates.

He has the most complete memories among Shi Changfeng's many clones, but his strength is the lowest.

Therefore, the wisp of the Southern Kingdom's national advisor who had escaped found him by following the source of his aura.

The Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor, who originally thought he could successfully seize the body, was also suppressed by Shi Changfeng.

That's right, it's suppression, not absorption.

Taking advantage of the Southern Kingdom's national teacher's weakness, Shi Changfeng regained his body.

However, without the power to suppress that wisp of his, the two could not fully merge and could only coexist.

Logically speaking, both of them are clones of Shi Changfeng, so merging is the best method.

But who likes being devoured? That's why the two of them now share one body.

During the day, the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor controls the body; at night, Shi Changfeng controls the body.

The black mist and animal mutations that Jing Le encountered were the methods that Shi Changfeng provided to the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor.

He had always kept this hatred in his heart since the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was killed by Jing Le, leaving only a wisp of his soul to escape.

Moreover, the dragon aura emanating from Emperor Jing of the Great Yong Dynasty was something he had always coveted.

He never forgot that his original goal was to ascend to heaven and leave this world.

Only by seizing the destiny of this world can he have a chance to break through the gate of time and space.

Unexpectedly, Jing Le interrupted everything.

However, now that he has Shi Changfeng, an avatar with all his memories, he can use many of the demonic techniques.
