Xiao Yuhan turned to look at the middle-aged man, "War? What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? The demon race has invaded the Central Plains, and many cultivators have gone to the Great Wall in the west. Even the men from our village who were soldiers have been dragged to the battlefield. Sigh... These days, life is tough. If it weren't for the few old buddies I still have in the army, I would have gone too. Then my daughter would be all alone..."
As he spoke, the man reached out and stroked the little girl's head.
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly. "Why are you telling me all this? Whether or not we go to war is not a decision I can make."
The middle-aged man smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sir, you misunderstand. Actually... I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but for his daughter's sake, he had no choice but to continue, "Sir, have you ever heard of the Kunlun Immortal Sect?"
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback, as if it sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think I've heard it before. Just tell me, what's the matter?"
"Sir, please don't worry. It's like this. Our little river village used to be very peaceful and tranquil. Even if some mountain spirits occasionally came out to cause trouble, the immortals from the Kunlun Immortal Sect would come to exorcise them. But for some reason, at the very beginning of this great war, the Kunlun Immortal Sect suffered a great calamity. It's said that a demonic dragon came and occupied Kunlun Mountain. It then sends its subordinates to collect children from our surrounding area from time to time. Rumor has it that it wants to eat children. We dare not oppose such a demon, so..."
"You want me to help you get rid of the demonic dragon?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
The middle-aged man seemed somewhat cautious. He knew this was a difficult situation. Even the many immortals of the Kunlun Immortal Sect couldn't do anything about the demonic dragon, so what could this man in front of him do?
But he had no other choice. If he didn't find a way to get rid of the demonic dragon, he could only run away. But where could he run to? In this world, where wasn't chaos? Perhaps only Lingsu City, where the imperial capital was located, was relatively safe, but given their father-daughter relationship, could they survive even if they went there?
With no relatives or friends and no money, even if he could earn some spare change by doing manual labor, it would be difficult to provide his daughter with a stable life in a place like Lingsu City. Moreover, he had heard that the number one immortal sect in the world had been occupied by villains several months ago, so Lingsu was not necessarily safe.
He couldn't escape, and he couldn't just stand by and wait to die. He himself didn't really care, but his only daughter had been with him all these years and had never had a good life. He had even thought that if things really came to that, he would rather kill his daughter with his own hands than let her fall into the hands of the demon dragon and become food. At least he could die with some dignity.
So when he saw that Xiao Yuhan could save him, he panicked and decided to take a gamble.
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, "Was that demonic dragon very strong?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "I heard that even the immortal masters of the Kunlun Immortal Sect can't do anything about him..."
At this point, the middle-aged man could no longer sit still. He got out of bed, knelt in front of Xiao Yuhan, and said with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Sir, I really have no other choice. I can't go on living like this. I can't just watch my daughter become food for that demonic dragon. If... I mean, if you have a way to exorcise the demon, could you please help us?"
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, "My strength is probably..."
At this point, Xiao Yuhan was stunned. In fact, he didn't know what his strength was like. In fact, he had completely forgotten the definition of strength. He had encountered many troublesome demonic beasts along the way, but they were not difficult to deal with. He could kill them with just a thought. However, after hearing what the middle-aged man said, he was not sure.
“I might not be a match for him. How about this, I’ll go check the situation. If I can beat him, I’ll help you out.”
For some reason, Xiao Yuhan didn't feel like refusing. He didn't want to cause trouble, but when he saw the little girl, he softened. Such a good girl was going to become food for the demon race, which made Xiao Yuhan a little unhappy.
"Are you confident, sir?"
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, "I'm fairly confident. So, tell me how to get there?"
Seeing that things had come to this point, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated and quickly told Xiao Yuhan the direction. In fact, Kunlun Immortal Sect was quite far from here, but ever since Bai Yu led people to conquer Kunlun Immortal Sect, he immediately occupied the mountain and became king, gathering nearby demons and forming an extremely powerful demon force.
The Qinhuai area, and even Yingyue City, have been ruled by the demon race.
After leaving the small village, Xiao Yuhan headed north, following the instructions of the middle-aged man.
Half a month later, in Yingyue City.
This was not Xiao Yuhan's first time in Yingyue City, but it was the first time he had ever been here in his memory.
The moment he arrived in front of Yingyue City, he smelled a faint scent of blood. Half of the city wall at the south gate had collapsed, and many demons were guarding the gate. Xiao Yuhan was stopped when he arrived at the gate.
"Who dares to trespass on the territory of my Divine Dragon Clan!?"
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "We're not allowed to go in here?"
The little demon sized up Xiao Yuhan a few times. With his cultivation level, he couldn't see through Xiao Yuhan's strength, but seeing Xiao Yuhan's full head of white hair and his otherworldly appearance, he was still a little wary. "Human? What are you doing here?"
Before Xiao Yuhan could answer, another demon beast interrupted, "The Dragon Lord said that human merchants are allowed to come and go. We have occupied Yingyue City, not turned it into a demon's lair. Don't scare him, kid. Can't you see he's just an ordinary person without any cultivation?"
