Lingyun and Dasheng returned to the central square of the Demon Rhino Kingdom.
At this moment, the enormous three-eyed demon rhinoceros had been hacked into mincemeat by the enraged people.
Blood flowed into every street, filling the air with a pungent, metallic smell.
The people of the Demon Rhino Kingdom wore expressions of bloodthirsty hatred, their eyes filled with tears and longing for their children, as they wielded weapons and hacked wildly.
Even though the three-eyed rhinoceros had been hacked into mincemeat and its weapon had been dulled, it still couldn't fully vent the hatred in its heart.
The shouts of killing, curses, and cries of grief never ceased.
Ah Bao and the others stood aside and watched silently, without offering any words of comfort.
They knew that only in this way could the people recover from the grief of losing their children as quickly as possible.
The people of the Demon Rhinoceros Kingdom only stopped when they had nothing left to cut. They were covered in blood, and their expressions were frozen in place.
With a loud crash!
They threw down their weapons and knelt down before A Bao and the others.
"Thank you all for avenging our child!"
"Our Demon Rhino Kingdom will erect a monument and statue in your honor to express our gratitude!"
"You are all good people!"
"..."
Ah Bao quickly raised his hand to signal the people to stand up.
"Everyone, this will never happen again. The past is the past. Let's all cheer up and live our lives well!"
The people got up and carried some three-eyed rhinoceros meat home.
After the crowd dispersed, Lingyun and Dasheng returned to Abao and the others.
"The Three-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros is the mount of the Divine Ink Pill Master and also his Pill Attendant. It eats rare and precious herbs every day, and its flesh is even more nourishing than pills!"
The Great Sage glanced at the three-eyed rhinoceros meat in the hands of the people and said with a smile.
"Hehe~" Po laughed and put his arm around the Great Sage's shoulder.
“Brother Great Sage, Lingxi is very clever and left the two hind legs of the Three-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros.”
Then, the little white fox Lingxi opened the storage bag, and sure enough, there were two huge hind legs.
While the people were frantically hacking at the three-eyed demon rhinoceros, Lingxi took advantage of the chaos to tear off its hind leg.
The Great Sage gave a thumbs up, praising Lingxi's prowess.
Ling Yun and his group stayed in the Demon Rhinoceros Kingdom for a day, waiting for the city lord appointed by the Tianyuan Dynasty to take office before leaving.
The Demon Rhino Kingdom was renamed Skyfire City on the same day.
At this moment, Ling Yun and his group were in a valley outside Tianhuo City.
There are more than a dozen large tombs here, where great cultivators who rid the people of the Demon Rhino Kingdom of evil were killed by the Three-Eyed Demon Rhino.
They were all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and with their strength they were capable of killing the Three-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros, but they were killed by Divine Ink Pill Venerable.
Ah Bao took out some three-eyed rhinoceros meat and placed it in front of their tombstones as a tribute.
Heroes should not be forgotten!
Immediately, in the open space in front of the tomb, A Bao and Shangguan Hong took out a barbecue grill and placed the marinated three-eyed rhinoceros hind legs on it.
The Great Sage took out a wisp of the Six Ding Divine Fire and flicked it into the mouth of the Golden Lion.
Then the golden lion lay down under the barbecue grill, raising its head to act as a flame.
After so many days, the Golden Lion had gotten used to it and even forgot that although it was the Buddha's mount in Buddhism, it was also a Bodhisattva.
Before long, the hind legs of the three-eyed rhinoceros began to sizzle with oil, and a meaty aroma mixed with a rich fragrance of pills wafted over.
The smell alone makes one's mouth water.
Under the scorching heat of the Six Ding Divine Fire, the hind legs of the Three-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros were quickly cooked.
The white Qilin Ling Shan raised its little paw and shouted:
"I'll go and try the dishes for everyone!"
Immediately, Abao cut a piece of meat with a knife and stuffed it into her mouth.
The next moment!
The rich essence transformed into a rainbow and erupted forth, and Ling Shan's face was filled with ecstasy as she ate.
"So delicious!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone started to take out knives and begin cutting the meat, enjoying their meal.
Many monsters in the mountains gathered around, their mouths watering at the sight of the three-eyed demon rhinoceros meat.
"Roar~"
The golden lion's roar scared the monsters away.
Yan Ruyu ate in small bites herself, while also giving some to the phoenix in her sea of consciousness.
The phoenix is very weak and urgently needs a nourishing substance.
Ah Bao spread out a map while eating.
"Um?"
Looking at the map, Abao was slightly taken aback.
"Wait a minute, that's not right. A few days ago I saw ten cities on the map, but today it shows as a wasteland, with not a single city all the way to the sea!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the map. Originally, leaving the Tianyuan Dynasty required passing through ten cities, but those ten cities had disappeared from the map.
There are only two words: "vast wasteland".
After glancing at the map, Ling Yun said in a deep voice:
"Someone used great supernatural powers to erase all information on the map, and these ten cities were hidden by someone in a special way."
They must be doing something shady.
Abao said with some concern:
"Ten cities, at least six or seven billion lives!"
As if remembering something, Lin Moyu asked:
"Brother, you said at the City Lord's Mansion in Tianmu City that the appearance of love demons was a sign of impending calamity. Is the Golden Cloud Continent going to suffer a calamity?"
Upon hearing this, everyone remembered the incident, having been so busy exorcising the evil spirit that they had put it out of their minds.
Ling Yun said in a deep voice:
"The Golden Cloud Continent is very likely a world that is being raised in captivity, where all living beings are like leeks, to be harvested when they are ripe."
Have you noticed that there are an unusually large number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the Golden Cloud Continent? Some of them are unable to reach the Mahayana stage, but many more have the potential to reach the Mahayana stage but are unable to break through to the next level.
It must be the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is very likely to be controlled. Only when the Heavenly Dao is sick will evil things like the Emotional Evil appear!
The harvest season will be here soon.
Hiss~
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run down their spines.
"The Heavenly Dao being controlled sounds terrifying!"
Ah Bao ate a piece of meat to calm his nerves.
Then, everyone looked at Ling Yun and Da Sheng, thinking, with the two of them there, what do we have to worry about?
The Great Sage laughed:
"We are not invincible anymore. If we can control the Heavenly Dao, the power behind us must be very strong."
After a pause, the Great Sage's smile faded, and he said seriously:
"Who cares about demons, monsters, or evil spirits? If they dare to slaughter the common people, I will make sure their souls are annihilated!"
“That’s right!” the Golden Lion said after swallowing the meat in his mouth.
"Our Buddha is merciful, saving all sentient beings from suffering. When he encounters dark forces that slaughter the people, he will surely eliminate them!"
Snap!
The Great Sage slapped the Golden Lion on the forehead and scolded him:
"What does this have to do with your Buddha!"
The Golden Lion glanced at the Great Sage, then remained silent, looking aggrieved.
The group exchanged smiles, then finished packing up and left.
The group set off in the direction of the ten vanished cities.
Nothing unusual was found along the way. On both sides of the road were rolling mountains, with scattered villages appearing at the foot of the mountains.
The villagers showed no signs of anything amiss.
Ah Bao asked the villagers about the vanished city, but they all said that there was no city in front of them, only wasteland.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun and his group all turned serious.
"There is a master who can erase the memories of ten cities from the memories of living beings."
It seems they really are doing something shady!
