Qin Yao successfully defeated the demonic beast using the Demon Gathering Array, saving the villagers. She breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with satisfaction.
Chu Wanwan stepped forward, her eyes full of admiration: "Well done, Qin Yao. You're getting more and more skilled with your Demon Gathering Array."
Qin Yao smiled slightly, looking at the villagers around her who had survived the disaster, and felt a surge of emotions: "This time, we are so grateful to you for teaching me the Demon Gathering Formation, otherwise these villagers would have been in danger."
The villagers gathered around, kowtowing to Qin Yao and Chu Wanwan in gratitude. Qin Yao quickly helped them up, gently comforting them, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I'm here, and I won't let the monsters harm you again."
However, Qin Yao knew in her heart that the threat from the demons was not over. This time it was only a small group of demonic beasts; next time, perhaps an even more powerful enemy would attack. She had to improve her strength as soon as possible to better protect the human race.
"Chu Wanwan, we need to find a way to completely eliminate the threat from the demon race," Qin Yao said solemnly.
Chu Wanwan nodded: "We don't yet know how many demonic beasts and demons there are in the human realm. We need to figure that out. If the demons launch a large-scale invasion, then we'll have to rely on the power of the gods and immortals!"
"Okay! I'll send someone to find out the situation in different places later!" Qin Yao nodded in agreement.
At this moment, several men ran in from outside. Chu Wanwan recognized one of them; he was from Qin Yao's village.
"The witch, Peach Blossom Village, and Horse Herding Village have all sent people to seek help. Those villages are being slaughtered by demonic beasts and a group of men dressed in black. They hope the witch can lend a hand."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the men behind him knelt down on the ground, begging Qin Yao for help.
They were a little confused when they saw the two people standing together who looked exactly alike!
Which of these two is the real shrine maiden? I've never heard of the shrine maiden having a twin sister.
"Let's split up!" Chu Wanwan said, looking at the people kneeling on the ground and asking, "Which of you is from Muma Village? Lead the way quickly!"
"Are you a priestess? This is a matter of life and death; we need your help!"
Those people didn't stand up. A very strong man looked at Chu Wanwan with anxiety in his eyes. He only wanted to take the witch back; the others couldn't save Muma Village.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan flew directly into the air, and with a wave of her hand, the man who had just spoken also flew into the air.
"Which way to go!"
Chu Wanwan had no time to explain; she simply and clearly proved herself with her abilities.
"North!" the man quickly pointed north. Chu Wanwan led the man and flew swiftly towards Muma Village.
The man mistook the woman before him for the priestess, because priestesses are said to be able to fly...
Soon, they arrived at Muma Village. The scene before them was just as horrific as the previous villages: monsters and men in black were attacking the villagers relentlessly, houses were destroyed beyond recognition, and fires and thick smoke were everywhere.
A demon caught up with a woman and a little boy, and slashed at them with his scimitar.
With lightning speed, Chu Wanwan unleashed her Flowing Light Sword, pinning the demon to the ground.
The woman and the little boy looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman rushing towards them from afar, accompanied by the pillars of their village. With a flick of her wrist, the water molecules in the air condensed into ice swords, which flew towards the demonic beasts and the men in black.
Those ice swords seemed to have eyes, only killing demons and not humans, and specifically targeting the demons' vital points.
This move was a new technique she learned from Long Jiu, called "Ice Blade Soul Chaser." After Chu Wanwan used this move, all the magical beasts and men in black died instantly.
Only then did the man realize that the woman in front of him was not a witch. He had seen the witch's abilities before; although powerful, she could not possibly kill so many demons in one move.
This woman is even more powerful than the priestess! She must be a legendary deity, right?
The woman and the little boy looked at Chu Wanwan in surprise, their eyes filled with awe.
Chu Wanwan landed on the ground, quickly walked to their side, and asked, "Are you alright?"
The woman shook her head quickly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much, fairy, for saving my life." The little boy also clung tightly to the woman's clothes, his eyes shining with admiration.
At this moment, all the surviving villagers of Muma Village came over, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Chu Wanwan.
"Thank you, God, for saving our lives!" everyone said in unison.
Chu Wanwan quickly waved her hand and said, "Everyone, please get up, there's no need for that." But the crowd insisted on kneeling, feeling that only in this way could they express their gratitude.
Helpless, Chu Wanwan could only ask, "Where do the demons come from? Do you know?"
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the older villagers slowly spoke up, "We don't know where the demons came from. They just suddenly appeared and started attacking our village. We don't even know what they are. We just feel that they are terrifying and powerful, and they kill people indiscriminately, as if they are killing for the sake of killing!"
“Those are demons, born with demonic bodies, born for evil. You can no longer stay in this village. If you wish, go to Dragon Tooth Village to avoid trouble. I will set up a protective barrier for you there!”
Longya Village is Qin Yao's village. Chu Wanwan felt that these were extraordinary times, and it would be better to put the villagers in Qin Yao's village for unified protection.
Qin Yao's village is located by a water source in an open area, where some simple shacks can be temporarily built for living.
"Alright! We'll pack our things now. Thank you for taking us in, Fairy! May I ask what your relationship is with the Priestess? How come you look so alike?"
The old man also realized that the woman before him was not a witch, but a being far more powerful than a witch.
“Sisters!” Chu Wanwan said casually.
"Go pack your bags! I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
After speaking, Chu Wanwan flew off into the distance. Human exploration was too slow; she wanted to see what state the entire human realm was in. She moved like lightning, speeding through the air, the mountains and rivers below receding rapidly.
As Chu Wanwan flew, she released her divine sense, trying to detect any demonic aura around her. She quickly discovered that the demonic energy ahead was becoming increasingly dense. She immediately flew towards it.
Ahead lay a city, with a large flock of flying magical beasts soaring above it. On these beasts sat many demons, who were firing arrows into the city.
At the same time, some high-level flying magical beasts spewed flames and poisons from their mouths, plunging the entire city into chaos and panic. People fled in all directions, their shouts and screams echoing throughout the city.
