Although he only brought a spirit stone of average quality when he left Taiyi Sect this time, he brought a lot of pills to replenish the energy of the spirit beasts, which would allow the two spirit beasts to travel at full speed.
"That's good!" Xie Peng nodded, his face showing a flattering expression.
"We'll set off in half an hour for the Demon Realm Mountains," Yu Yanzhong said indifferently.
This Jiyuan Kingdom is truly teeming with demons. After entering the southern part of Jiyuan Kingdom, they have already discovered several places where demonic energy is soaring into the sky. This is still the southern region under the control of the Jiyuan Kingdom's royal family. If they go to the northern region controlled by the Demon King, wouldn't it be full of demons?
Thinking about all this, Yu Yanzhong couldn't help but frown.
The people of Jiyuan Kingdom are mostly poor and destitute, living in dire straits.
This is still in the south; the north must be even more terrifying.
"I've heard that in the northern region of the Silent Abyss Kingdom, those powerful demons have completely taken control of the situation and are raising humans as food. It sounds terrifying," Xie Peng couldn't help but say.
Yu Yanzhong remained silent upon hearing this.
"Senior brother, if you report this matter to the sect, will the Taiyi Sect take action?" Xie Peng asked.
"You've fallen into evil ways and killed many people. Do you really have any pity for these ordinary people?" Yu Yanzhong turned to look at Xie Peng, his face full of sarcasm.
“That’s different. I’ve killed less than a hundred people in all my years of cultivation, and... I don’t eat people.” Xie Peng shook his head as he spoke: “But those monsters do eat people, they feed on humans.”
Xie Peng could tell from Yu Yanzhong's expression that the Taiyi Sect wouldn't get involved in this matter.
The Taiyi Sect, which he once held in high esteem, was nothing more than this.
“From ancient times to the present, the Taiyi Sect has only protected the Great Yan Dynasty, not other places,” Yu Yanzhong said, frowning.
“In ancient times, there were many sects, each with its own sphere of influence. But now… there’s only Taiyi Sect left in the world. So there’s no need to abide by the rules of ancient times anymore, right?” Xie Peng chuckled.
In ancient times, the Kingdom of Jiyuan was indeed not under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Sect, but things are different now.
With only Taiyi Sect remaining in the world, shouldn't Taiyi Sect shoulder the great responsibility of saving all living beings?
"I'll report this to the sect when I get back!" Yu Yanzhong shook his head and said.
Although chaos occasionally occurred in the past, there had never been a situation like the Silent Abyss Kingdom, where the Demon King directly controlled half of the country and ate people.
This was the first time he'd ever encountered this!
However, the Taiyi Sect is different now than it was in the past.
Those powerful Supreme Elders and Elders were obsessed with prolonging their lives, each hoping to live until the day when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was restored, so that they could embark on that path to heaven and attain immortality.
They are most afraid of getting injured and depleting their own strength, and have become much more selfish than before.
If we were to interfere in the affairs of the Silent Abyss Kingdom, it would mean going to war with those great demons.
The country of Jiyuan is home to many powerful demons, and it is said that the three demon kings are of unfathomable strength.
Many people within the Taiyi Sect would likely not agree to war.
Although the sect leader was highly skilled, he was willing but unable to do so.
After resting for a while, the two brothers rode their spirit beasts and continued on their journey.
Three hours later, they arrived at the Demon Realm Mountains.
"Senior brother, the leopard demon's lair is just ahead. We'll arrive in about a hundred miles."
Xie Peng's face became more cautious as he spoke: "Senior brother, the Yellow Leopard Demon is among the top ten great demons in the Demon Realm Mountains. Compared to when we faced it twenty years ago, its strength has increased a lot. Senior brother must be careful."
"Hmm!" Yu Yanzhong nodded, but didn't take it too seriously.
His strength ranks among the top ten of the inner disciples of the Taiyi Sect, only slightly inferior to the sect leader's personal disciples.
The sect leader's five personal disciples are all very capable and are the leaders among the younger generation of disciples in their Taiyi Sect.
Despite being over fifty years old, he is still considered young among the inner disciples of the Taiyi Sect.
The two continued their journey; it was only a hundred li, and the spirit beast traveled very quickly, so they arrived in no time.
"Senior brother, the Yellow Leopard Demon's lair is just ahead," Xie Peng said cautiously, pointing to a large cave not far away.
Yu Yanzhong thought that his junior brother had suffered a great loss here many years ago and was still afraid of him, so he didn't care much.
He looked at the huge cave in front of him, stretched out his hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.
Yu Yanzhong swung his sword fiercely, and an invisible sword aura instantly erupted. The sword aura, which seemed to be able to destroy the world, directly sent Xie Peng, who was standing next to him, flying.
Xie Peng was utterly horrified.
This is the strength of the inner disciples of the Taiyi Sect; it's truly terrifying!
However, just as the sword energy was about to strike the cave, several figures emerged from inside the cave, together erecting a barrier to block the sword energy and protect the cave.
The leader was none other than the Yellow Leopard Spirit.
It has cultivated for nearly a thousand years and is incredibly powerful; it has long been able to transform into human form.
Now it has the face of a middle-aged man, wearing a Taoist robe.
After these monsters transformed into human form, many of them liked to dress up as Taoist priests.
The people around the Yellow Leopard Demon were also powerful demons with extremely high cultivation levels, but they had simply transformed into humans.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yanzhong frowned and subconsciously glanced at Xie Peng, who had been sent flying by the sword energy, only to find that Xie Peng had already ridden the black dog spirit beast to hide in the distance.
Seeing Xie Peng's evasive gaze, Yu Yanzhong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The two brothers came to Huang Baojing to avenge their master. Logically speaking... even if someone in Yunxiao Palace wanted to leak the news, it wouldn't have reached Huang Baojing in such a short time.
Unless... that person is Xie Peng.
Xie Peng betrayed him.
"Senior brother... don't blame me for being heartless. I was forced into this situation. My cultivation was hard-earned, but you want me to cripple myself and leave Yunxiao Palace to fend for myself. Since you've treated me this way, I have no other choice."
As soon as Xie Peng finished speaking, a cry of an eagle suddenly came from the sky, and a demonic beast carrying a person flew over and landed next to Xie Peng.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine." Xie Peng quickly bowed.
Yan Qingwu frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Just call me Princess. I am no longer a concubine of your Great Yan Dynasty."
The thought of serving that old man for over thirty years, only to be forced to flee the Great Yan Dynasty, filled her with resentment towards her former identity.
Fortunately, after returning to Jiyuan Kingdom, her elder brother treated her well.
"Princess." Xie Peng quickly bowed.
Previously, when Yu Yanzhong said he wanted to avenge his master and wanted to abolish his cultivation, he sent a message to Yan Qingwu.
The Kingdom of Jiyuan had spies within the Great Yan Dynasty. In the remote areas of the Great Yan Dynasty, demonic beasts could also appear secretly. Ten days or so was enough time for them to pass the message to Yan Qingwu.
Upon learning of this, Yan Qingwu quickly made some arrangements.
Several powerful demons from the Demon Realm Mountains are here.
