The demon woman was stunned when she saw Feng Que's transformation, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this is your spirit beast? An old hen that can't fly? That's hilarious!"
Sheng Wanwan retorted, unconvinced, "Don't underestimate it; its power is amazing."
The beautiful woman stopped laughing, her eyes turning sinister: "Hmph, then I'll see the power of you, you old hen!"
After saying that, she moved swiftly, transforming into a black shadow and attacking Sheng Wanwan and Feng Que. Sheng Wanwan reacted quickly, pulling Feng Que aside to dodge, while simultaneously directing Feng Que to launch an attack.
Phoenix opened its small mouth and spewed out a ball of golden flame. Although it could not fly, the attack power of the flame was not diminished at all.
Seeing this, the demon woman dodged the attack of the flames with a flash.
"Hmph, is that all you've got?" she said sarcastically.
Sheng Wanwan remained calm, knowing full well that Feng Que's power was not limited to this. Therefore, she once again communicated with Feng Que telepathically: "Feng Que, don't hold back, use all your strength!"
Phoenix seemed to sense Sheng Wanwan's determination and trust. It let out a cry and its whole body shone with golden light.
This time, it didn't try to take flight again, but instead concentrated all its strength in its mouth. Suddenly, Feng Que's mouth opened wide, spewing out a golden flame that was even hotter and more intense than before.
The flame, like a golden dragon, roared as it charged toward the demon woman.
The temperature was so high that it distorted the surrounding air.
Upon seeing this, the demon woman's face turned solemn. She dared not underestimate this "old hen" any longer, and her figure flashed rapidly, trying to avoid the flame. But the flame seemed to have a mind of its own, closely following her movements.
At this moment, Sheng Wanwan also joined the battle. She and Feng Que cooperated perfectly, throwing spirit energy balls one after another at the demon woman.
In an instant, the entire valley was filled with a mix of golden flames and silver lightning balls.
This set all the tents in the valley ablaze, and the 100,000-strong army fled in panic, clutching their heads. The clash between high-level cultivators was something these mortals could not withstand.
After several rounds, the demon woman was already looking somewhat disheveled. Several parts of her black outfit were scorched by the flames, while Sheng Wanwan and Feng Que fought with increasing ferocity.
In the end, the demon woman was no match for the combined attack of Sheng Wanwan and Feng Que, and was struck by the golden flames, collapsing to the ground.
She glared at Sheng Wanwan and the golden hen with resentment, gritting her teeth as she said, "You just wait! I won't let you get away with this!"
After saying that, she turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night.
Feng Que reverted to his original little yellow chick form and flew onto Sheng Wanwan's shoulder, seemingly quite satisfied with his performance, proudly tilting his head back.
Sheng Wanwan looked at the raging flames burning in the valley and the soldiers fleeing everywhere.
He used his spiritual power to draw a giant rain-summoning talisman in the air. As the talisman was completed, clouds began to gather in the sky, and amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, large raindrops poured down. This timely rain quickly extinguished the raging flames in the valley and washed away the bloodstains and smoke from the battlefield.
The soldiers were stunned by the sudden downpour. They forgot to run away and stood there looking at Sheng Wanwan, who was riding a tall demon tiger with a little yellow chick on her shoulder in the rain.
"The little goddess who protects the nation? Hehehe... Kill her. As long as you kill her, Prince Rui will surely reward you handsomely."
The speaker was a general in armor, who was standing a hundred meters away from Sheng Wanwan, holding a large bow and aiming it at her.
Beside her stood more than a dozen guards, all holding longbows and aiming at Sheng Wanwan. It seemed they had noticed her long ago and were now looking for an opportunity to shoot her.
As soon as the general finished speaking, more than a dozen arrows shot towards Sheng Wanwan.
A mocking smile appeared on Sheng Wanwan's lips. With a wave of her hand, all the swords returned along their original paths, shooting down the general and his guards.
This move made the soldiers who were carrying spears and obeying orders to attack Sheng Wanwan swallow hard and instinctively take a step back.
Seeing this, Sheng Wanwan ignored them and instead chuckled as she pulled out a sound transmission talisman from her spatial storage. Her childish voice then echoed through the valley:
"My name is Sheng Wanwan, and I am the little goddess who protects the Great Yan Kingdom!"
"You are all citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom. Now, the Great Yan Kingdom is beset by internal and external troubles. In the north, the three cities have suffered from a severe drought for three years, and the land has yielded no harvest. The rivers have dried up, and there are thousands of people starving to death."
The Great Liang Kingdom is eyeing our Great Yan Kingdom covetously, ready to attack at any moment!
"Let me ask you this: are you really going to aid and abet the wicked and help Prince Rui rebel?"
As Sheng Wanwan's voice spread, the previously chaotic valley gradually quieted down.
Sheng Wanwan continued to brainwash him with her sweet, childlike voice:
"I know that many of you are refugees from the North, and you joined the army simply to earn a living. You don't know whose soldiers you are, nor do you know what this army is secretly training for!"
Then by the time you find out, it will be too late; you will already be labeled as traitors and rebels.
You will go to the battlefield and fight the warriors of the Great Yan Kingdom to the death! Are you really willing to do that?
Sheng Wanwan's voice was clear and loud, each word seeming to strike the soldiers' hearts.
The soldiers began whispering and discussing amongst themselves. Many of them had indeed joined the army without fully understanding what was happening; they thought it was a government conscription and that they were only enlisting to earn a decent meal!
Upon hearing Sheng Wanwan's words, a sense of confusion and unease began to well up within him.
Just then, a soldier mustered his courage and shouted, "We don't want to rebel, we just want to have food to eat and live! If the goddess can guarantee us food, we'll listen to you!"
The sound seemed to flip a switch, and more and more soldiers began to echo it.
"Yes! Goddess, we don't want war, nor do we want to be called traitors. We can follow you, as long as you can give us a bite to eat!"
"Goddess, you are incredibly powerful. If you can bring rain here, then surely you can also pray for rain in the North, right?"
"May the goddess bestow upon the North a blessed rain..."
"May the goddess bestow upon the North a blessed rain..."
"May the goddess bestow upon the North a blessed rain..."
"..."
