Xia Muge and Caiwei left Qingcheng Mountain.
Meanwhile, the Nine Provinces began to fall into turmoil.
In fact, it's not just in Qingcheng Mountain, but also in other places, traces of the demon race have begun to appear.
Especially the Great Xia Kingdom.
When the Great Xia Kingdom was founded, it actually suppressed evil cultivators and demonic cultivators very much.
However, the Great Xia Kingdom has now been established for over five hundred years.
Although the royal family is very hostile to evil spirits, it is no longer able to maintain its former oppressive policies.
After all, the tide of time is very powerful. Those generals who founded the country either left the Great Xia in pursuit of higher goals, or they perished.
Although the current emperor is only the second emperor, he is not as powerful as the founding emperor.
Now that the demons have appeared, the royal family has issued a decree to exterminate them.
However, even though an imperial edict was issued, without any rewards, who would risk their life?
At most, some large families or sects would be on guard against possible evil spirits, but as for ordinary people, all they could say was that just staying alive was enough.
Whether they are heretical cultivators or Taoist practitioners, they are not to be trifled with.
As Xia Muge and Caiwei walked through the Great Xia Kingdom, he raised an eyebrow and asked Caiwei, "What are the demons thinking now? Could it be that the demons are now able to launch a counterattack against humanity?"
Caiwei casually replied, "No, that's not it."
"It's purely because the internal contradictions are too great, so we can only shift the focus to external contradictions."
Xia Muge immediately understood.
The current state of affairs within the Demon Clan can be described as turbulent and precarious.
Ever since the demons mixed up with demonic cultivators and evil cultivators, people have been killing them all, regardless of whether they are demons or evil.
In this situation, the demons can only occupy places that are difficult for humans to reach.
However, these places are barren and cannot support too many people.
Within the demon race, there are no nations or rules; the Demon Emperor reigns supreme, taking whatever he pleases, which has caused discontent among the other demons. The Demon Emperor attempts to suppress this discontent through force.
But in the end, these demons fled to Youzhou.
In this situation, even the Demon Emperor panicked.
If you lose your own people, what kind of Demon Emperor are you?
In the original storyline, Xu Feng caused chaos in the Demon Realm because of the Tang family's affairs. This was because Xu Feng had killed too many ordinary demons, shaking the foundations of the Demon Emperor's rule.
Since the Demon Emperor couldn't capture Xu Feng, he had no choice but to obediently allow the demons to retreat into their territory.
Later, because Xu Feng got together with the Demon Saintess, the Demon Clan was naturally exonerated.
That's just how it is in the story.
However, Caiwei is currently with Xia Muge, and she does not want to return to the Demon Clan.
Xu Feng's luck has been greatly diminished by Xia Muge, so he probably won't be able to wreak havoc on the Demon Clan as depicted in the story.
Caiwei sighed and said, "Actually, I think it's best if we don't go to the Great Xia Kingdom. Otherwise, if the demons find out, we'll be in big trouble."
This was the first time Caiwei had shown a sorrowful expression in front of Xia Muge.
The impression Xia Muge always got from her was that she was confident and mysterious.
Xia Muge thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to see someone, there shouldn't be any problem."
His words were quickly proven wrong.
The two had just arrived in Jiangning City when they saw that the city had already been beaconed.
The demonic cultivators actually made their move in a place with plenty of independent cultivators.
The appearance of a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage left many rogue cultivators helpless.
The Nascent Soul realm is already an unattainable peak for ordinary cultivators.
Even within the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom, experts at the Nascent Soul Realm are extremely rare.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Jiangning City to withstand the invasion of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
Especially since independent cultivators are not mentally stable, most of them tend to run away in fear when faced with such experts.
As the saying goes, it's a mental breakdown.
After all, Jiangning City isn't a place for rogue cultivators; why risk your life?
Xia Muge glanced around and saw Xia Qingshuang.
At this time, Xia Qingshuang was still at the Golden Core stage, but she had two Nascent Soul stage guards by her side.
But she coldly watched the demonic cultivator, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators used a combined attack technique to force him back in a short time.
Caiwei whispered, "This person is called the Mourning Daoist, and he is a demonic cultivator. Although his status is not as high as that of the Demon Emperor, he still holds a high position in the demon race."
"His presence here means that someone or something in Jiangning has gained the attention of the Demon Clan."
Xia Muge raised an eyebrow.
An intuition told him that this demonic cultivator was after Xia Qingshuang.
Xia Qingshuang is the most talented princess in the royal family, and she now possesses the method to make the ancient Reincarnation Pill.
It's no surprise that the demons coveted her.
Xia Muge said softly, "Are we leaving?"
Caiwei: "I shouldn't have come in the first place."
"However, since you've come here, you must have your own reasons. Tell me about them."
Xia Muge said softly, "There's no other reason, I just want to see someone."
He did not see Qin Shuhua.
I imagine Qin Shuhua is currently in seclusion somewhere.
After all, she's only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now, so coming to this kind of battle would be pointless.
Thinking of this, Xia Muge felt a desire to back out.
Just then, Caiwei said softly, "We can't leave."
"I sensed a demonic aura enveloping Jiangning City and its surroundings, and we were among them."
Xia Muge's expression changed.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately attacked the Taoist priest.
The moment the Immortal Binding Rope appeared in his hand, the Taoist priest was horrified.
Not everyone is a protagonist.
Although the Daoist was at the Nascent Soul stage, he was essentially just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
Although Xia Muge is at the Nascent Soul stage, with the support of magic treasures, he is actually no worse than an ordinary Deity Transformation stage cultivator.
"Ha, you actually managed to force me back with just a doll. Little doll, your death is just around the corner."
He actually abandoned his original opponent and attacked Xia Muge.
Xia Muge was not afraid of this.
The realm of Divine Transformation allows one to transform their nascent soul into a deity.
However, the Nascent Soul stage itself is also known as a minor deity. Essentially, the only difference between the two is the amount of spiritual energy they possess.
The gap is not as large as that between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm.
This is also why the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were able to force the Mourning Daoist to retreat using a combined attack technique.
Of course, it's more likely that demonic cultivators cultivate quickly, but their realm is unstable.
Just then, the Taoist priest suddenly made a chaotic sound, and the ordinary people in the entire Jiangning City were immediately terrified, deafened, dizzy, and their blood and qi surged.
Cultivators are not faring much better; those with lower cultivation levels can no longer stand steadily.
Ordinary people immediately wanted to leave Jiangning City.
However, at this moment, demonic energy spread and shrouded Jiangning City.
Someone cackled eerily, "You can't escape!"
