The second Luo drove the mule cart and left Liuyun City slowly.
The clamor at the city gate gradually faded, replaced by the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the woods outside. The mule cart bumped along the dirt road, raising a cloud of dust.
Xingyue, sitting on the mule cart, quietly admired the beautiful scenery of the suburbs.
Suddenly, the silence of the woods was broken by the sound of a loud fight.
Xingyue frowned slightly, looking warily in the direction of the sound. She saw a group of demons chasing a handsome man in white. The man was elegant and moved effortlessly through the woods, but the demons kept chasing him, shooting arrows and casting spells at him.
The man's white robe was stained with blood, like a blooming red plum blossom, but his eyes remained firm, like a towering mountain. He held a staff in his hand, constantly fending off the demon tribe's violent attacks.
That man... is an elf?
Seeing that the demon tribe was harming other tribes again, Xingyue's beautiful brows couldn't help but frown slightly, as if the brightest star in the night sky was covered by dark clouds.
"Lolo, park the mule cart aside and stay away. The man in white is being hunted by the demon tribe. If you don't save him, he'll die soon."
As Xingyue spoke, she had already jumped down from the mule cart with nimble movements. With a thought, a magic sword appeared in her hand in the next moment. The magic sword flashed with dazzling cold light and was full of momentum.
"Sister, it's dangerous!" Di Er Luo couldn't help but curl his lips as he looked at Xingyue's back as she stepped forward resolutely.
He thought to himself: This sister is truly the embodiment of light and justice. Even though she has lost her memory, she is still instinctively maintaining peace and upholding justice?
At this time, the man in white had been caught up by the demons and was about to die like a lamb to be slaughtered.
In a flash, Xingyue flew forward like a flash of lightning. With a clang, she blocked the sharp sword of a demon from the neck of the man in white, and shouted loudly, "Let him go!"
This sudden scene made the demon tribe members startled at first, as if they were under a spell of immobilization. But after they reacted, they immediately turned their attacks towards Xingyue. Their eyes were as fierce as those of hungry wolves, and they looked as if they were determined to tear the woman in front of them to pieces.
The demon leader glanced at Xingyue indifferently. After sensing no celestial energy, spiritual energy, demonic energy, devilish energy, or powerful dark forces or animal energy from Xingyue, he said disdainfully, "You foolish, ignorant, and meddling human! Get out of here if you don't want to die! Otherwise, you'll pay the price of your ignorance with your life, like a moth drawn to a flame!"
Xingyue looked directly at the demon leader without fear, the magic sword in her hand flashing with light, as if it was the fire of justice burning in her heart.
"I'm the one who has to meddle in this matter today! You evil monsters, what's your skill in bullying a weak man?"
After saying that, Xingyue's figure flashed, and the sword rained down like rain, instantly forcing back several people from the demon clan. The movement was crisp and neat, without any drag, and the posture was even more agile and graceful, and beautiful.
The man in white took the opportunity to escape and ran behind Xingyue.
"It's really like a dog trying to catch a rat - meddling in other people's business!" The leading demon said angrily, then abandoned Sikong Lian, and everyone attacked Xingyue together.
Xingyue turned the magic sword in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he faced the enemy head-on.
Xingyue's swordsmanship was sharp, and she engaged in a fierce battle with the demons. She nimbly dodged the attacks while constantly launching counterattacks.
The demons gradually realized that Xingyue’s strength should not be underestimated, so they besieged her even more desperately.
At this moment, Xingyue used the move "Time is Flying Fast", and the sword light flashed like a meteor. The monsters fell to the ground and turned into a pool of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
After the battle, Xingyue turned to look at the man in white, who was looking at her with gratitude.
"Thank you for your help, young lady. My name is Sikong Lian, and I am the prince of the elves." The man in white introduced himself.
Xingyue said nonchalantly, "You're welcome. I just saw injustice and wanted to help."
Sikong Lian glanced at the beautiful and heroic woman in front of him, his fair face flushed slightly, and he asked softly, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Xingyue." Xingyue answered simply.
"Xingyue...what a nice name. If there is a chance in the future, A Lian will definitely repay the girl for saving his life today." Sikong Lian promised solemnly.
"No need to go through so much trouble, it's just a small favor." Xingyue waved her hand and didn't take it to heart.
Sikong Lian explained solemnly, "Miss, you may not know this, but these demons often attack our people. I came out to train this time, and unfortunately, I was also targeted by them."
Xingyue nodded in understanding and said, "I see. Prince Lian, do you know why these demons are attacking you, the elves?"
As far as Xingyue knew, the Demon King had always been ambitious and wanted to annex the other six realms, and the first to be occupied would definitely be the relatively weaker human race.
Over the years, the demons have been constantly harassing the human race, seizing their territory and resources, and attempting to slaughter all humans so that they can take over the entire human territory.
But she hadn't expected that the demons were already reaching out to the spiritual world of the elves, presumably for the abundant spiritual energy. After all, it would greatly improve demon magic.
Sikong Lian frowned upon hearing this. "From what I know, the demon tribe recently acquired a mysterious treasure that's said to accelerate the cultivation of advanced demonic techniques. They might be testing the power of this treasure, so they've been attacking other tribes."
"Treasure?" Xingyue's heart moved, "Could it be a divine artifact from ancient times?"
Sikong Lian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Girl, you also know about the divine weapon?"
"I know a thing or two," Xingyue said calmly. "If it truly is an ancient artifact, and falls into the hands of the demon race, it will surely cause chaos in the seven realms. We must find it as soon as possible to prevent the destruction of all living things."
Sikong Lian nodded, "Ah Lian will inform father about this matter, and we will fight against the demons together with you humans who are also suffering from the demon invasion."
Xingyue looked at the man in white in front of her who looked weak but had a strong heart, and a wave of admiration welled up in her heart, "He is worthy of being the prince of the elves, he is responsible."
The two smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding flowed between them.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from afar, like the sound of nature.
"My people are here to look for me." Sikong Lian said with a smile.
"Then let's say goodbye here." Xingyue said with a fist salute.
"See you later." Sikong Lian jumped onto a branch and disappeared into the dense woods.
Xingyue looked in the direction where Sikong Lian left, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Sister, if you can't bear to leave Prince Sikong, then... just let him go to the elves." Just as Xingyue's thoughts were drifting, a pair of sour words that seemed to be filled with resentment came to her ears.
[Note: When referring to "people of other races" besides the human race, the "people" here refers to their appearance in human form, not their true form.]
