"Yes, yes! Your humble servant obeys!" the Prime Minister hurriedly replied, a glimmer of hope igniting in his heart.
…
Wang Wan flew south on her sword, heading towards Yunzhou.
His divine sense swept across the land below, and he saw that the Yan Kingdom was engulfed in flames of war, and the people were displaced and suffering terribly.
Outside a breached county town, a pack of blue-faced, fanged wolf demons were swaggering around.
They drove hundreds of trembling Yan citizens, whipping them.
"Hurry up! All of you, get on with it! If you delay the construction of the palace for the King, I'll skin you all alive!" a wolf demon leader yelled shrilly.
The people, dressed in rags and emaciated, had no choice but to laboriously carry heavy boulders and timber under the tyranny of the wolf demon.
On the other side, several wolf demons were gathered around a campfire, roasting unknown chunks of meat over it, the grease dripping and sizzling.
In front of them were several large basins filled with bloody raw meat, emitting a strong, fishy smell.
"Today's offering was timely enough, otherwise, hmph!" A wolf demon of even greater size grabbed a piece of raw meat and tore into it, blood flowing down the corner of its mouth.
Its fierce gaze swept over the captured civilians, filled with undisguised greed.
"These humans are useless. They work so slowly, and their meat doesn't taste good at all. Our demon meat is much more chewy!"
"Once the kings' palaces are repaired, we'll eat all these useless humans!"
The wolf demons chatted and laughed without restraint.
The people were terrified when they heard this, but they didn't even dare to cry out loud.
A cold glint flashed in Wang Wan's eyes as she stood in mid-air, and a murderous aura arose instantly.
"You beast, you're asking for death!"
With a flick of her wrist, the sword case behind her opened.
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of dazzling sword lights poured down like a storm!
The sword light was as fast as lightning, and extremely sharp!
Those wolf demons who are still bullying and harming the people.
Before they could even react, countless sword lights pierced through their bodies, splattering demonic blood and filling the air with a stench.
The piercing screams abruptly stopped.
The enslaved people below were initially stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Then they saw those wolf demons, who were usually fierce and menacing, die instantly, and they all burst into thunderous cheers!
"A god! A god has descended to save us!"
"Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life! Thank you so much, Immortal Master!"
Countless people knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately in the direction Wang Wan had left, tears streaming down their faces.
Wang Wan exclaimed loudly, "We should thank the Mountain Goddess! I am a follower of the Mountain God!"
"Now that these wolf demons are dead, you don't need to worry about the other wolf demons. The Mountain Goddess has already taken action, and they won't have a chance to run out and do evil!"
After saying that, Wang Wan did not linger. She withdrew her sword light and continued flying towards Yunzhou.
…
Yunzhou is located at the border of the Liang and Yan states.
The mountains and forests are dense and the terrain is treacherous.
At this moment, at the entrance to Yunzhou.
Hundreds of wolf demons of various shapes and sizes gathered here, each with fierce eyes and an arrogant demeanor.
Before them, atop a giant rock, stood a wolf demon of exceptionally large size with dark golden fur.
This wolf demon was a full size larger than the surrounding wolf demons, and it exuded a powerful demonic aura, clearly indicating that it was the leader of this pack of wolf demons.
It was speaking in human language, roaring at its subordinates.
"Listen up, my men!"
"My scouts have reported that my good-for-nothing brother, through some incredible stroke of luck, has actually managed to carve out a territory in this wretched place called Yunzhou!"
"They are still ignorant of their own limitations, calling themselves the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, saying that they will establish an everlasting foundation for our wolf demons in Yunzhou, gather all our clansmen in the world, and rebuild the glory of the Great Moon Divine Kingdom!"
The dark gold wolf demon grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white fangs, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.
"Hmph, with its paltry skills, it dares to call itself king?"
"However, it has shown us a clear path! Yunzhou is indeed a good place, with high mountains and dense forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack, just right for us to make our move!"
"Now that it has made a name for itself, let's go with the flow and take over its territory and manpower!"
"Once we have completely occupied Yunzhou, we will use it as our base to recruit our kind from all over the world! At that time, neither Liang nor Yan will be able to tremble under the iron hooves of our great Wolf God!"
"Awoo!"
"Conquer new territory for His Highness, Young Wolf Lord!"
Upon hearing this, the wolf demons below howled excitedly.
Unbeknownst to them, many followers of the mountain god were already hiding in the shadows.
These wolf demons had no idea that the good-for-nothing brother the young wolf lord spoke of had already become a glorious miner in the desolate mountain mine!
