Night Wind Centipede's words shocked all the monsters present.
"What exactly happened?" Leopard King asked solemnly.
"Alas!" Night Wind Centipede sighed lightly, raised his head slightly, seemingly lost in the fierce battle that had just taken place.
"Just ahead by the creek, Eagle King, Snake King and I discovered that man's trail. The three of us then joined forces to battle him. As a result, Eagle King and Snake King were killed on the spot, while I, gravely injured, knew that I was no match for him. To prevent him from escaping, I had no choice but to expend my last bit of strength at the cost of three legs to run over here and inform you..."
After he finished speaking, all the monsters present looked at Night Wind Centipede with great respect.
That battle must have been extremely fierce!
Even Eagle King and Snake King had died. Night Wind Centipede must have paid a huge price just to be able to run over here and send word!
"Night Wind Centipede, it is our territory's good fortune to have a loyal and devoted monster like you!" Leopard King said solemnly: "Rest well. Leave the rest to us. We will rescue the Monster Emperor and avenge Eagle King and Snake King."
Leopard King's words were met with unanimous approval from the monsters.
"No, no, no. To be honest, I am truly ashamed. To see the Monster Emperor captured and Eagle King and Snake King die heroically while I was powerless to do anything, I...deserve death!" Night Wind Centipede lowered his head, full of guilt.
"Night Wind Centipede, what are you saying? You, Eagle King and Snake King have done so much for our territory already." Pig King quickly added: "That man was able to defeat even the Monster Emperor single-handedly. You were still able to injure him heavily. That is more than enough!"
"That's right. We already owe too much to the other territories. With this, we completely don't need the Monster Emperors from other territories to make a move."
"So you three are our territory's greatest contributors!"
"Leave the rest to us from now on!"
"Everyone listen up! That man is already heavily wounded. Attack with all your might to rescue the Monster Emperor and avenge Eagle King and Snake King!"
After the voice subsided, the monsters were fired up, their morale higher than ever before. They quickly set off towards Yi Feng at full speed.
After Leopard King and the rest had left, Night Wind Centipede, who was on the verge of death just before, suddenly exploded forth with unprecedented speed.
In the blink of an eye,
he disappeared without a trace!
...
"This Cloud Road Flower is really not easy to find!"
Yi Feng drank snake soup and ate eagle meat while looking at the continuous mountain range, sighing to himself.
After eating his fill, and seeing that the sky was not yet dark, he decided to search the nearby mountains again. After all, he had time, but Qing'er might not be able to wait that long!
So Yi Feng picked up his small iron hoe and prepared to set off.
He had just taken two steps when he weighed the old turtle in his hands. Turning around, he hung it from a tree.
After all, carrying this several-jin old turtle all the time was tiring. Hanging it on the tree temporarily wouldn't matter since he would be back by nightfall, and no one would take it anyway.
...
"What's going on here?"
In the forest, the woman from the Sword Sect was amazed as she watched all the demonic beasts in the surrounding mountains converge in one direction.
That direction was precisely the place she had come from earlier.
It was also where Yi Feng currently was!
"Although I don't know why these demonic beasts are reacting this way, looks like your luck has probably run out this time..."
The woman sighed softly.
But she was powerless to do anything. After all, everyone had their own fate, and no one could remain lucky forever.
Fortunately, all the more powerful demonic beasts above the Demon Spirit level had gathered in that direction, allowing her to feel unprecedentedly relaxed.
"Still, I'd better wait until people from the Sect arrive before leaving!"
The woman pondered briefly. She had originally intended to leave, but she had already secretly informed the Sect about the events here yesterday. Given her status, there was no way the Sword Sect would not send people.
Although now was the perfect chance for her to leave the mountains, just to be safe, she decided to wait until the Sword Sect's people arrived.
At this moment, Leopard King and the other powerful demons finally arrived at the creek.
However, after reaching the creek, apart from scattered eagle feathers and the corpses of demons from before, they could not find any trace of Yi Feng.
"Where is he?"
Leopard King yelled loudly.
The other demons also scanned their surroundings sharply, not wanting to have rushed over here for nothing. That would waste Night Wind Centipede's intelligence obtained at the cost of three legs.
"Look there!"
Just as they were unable to locate Yi Feng, Pig King suddenly cried out.
Hearing this, all the demons shifted their gaze over.
Next to the boulder by the creek, hanging from a tree by grass ropes... wasn't that the Monster Emperor they had been desperately searching for?
To see the esteemed Monster Emperor hanging from a tree like this, the demons' eyes nearly popped out from anger.
"Listen to my command, rescue the Monster Emperor!"
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
