Shortly after, the two men arrived around the location of the fortress where their last target was.
The old fortress had countless cracks on each wall and could collapse with just a single powerful attack from a cultivator.
"Pathetic."
Seeing the other party not even realizing their arrival, Xia'er's eyes narrowed in disappointment.
As expected of the information they got from Qiqi, these nobles only had ordinary loyal subordinates. Once one of the two of them made a move, the fortress could be destroyed horribly without expending much energy.
In other words, they could overturn the other party with a single powerful attack. However, they would not do that because the latter could have kept a secret to complete the missing pieces in the territory of the small kingdom of Biu.
The Biu Kingdom had poor topography and was in a mountainous region. This small kingdom was very unlikely to survive for a long time, unless there was something that sustained them and made the surrounding kingdoms want to rule this small kingdom. The secret can only be revealed by the nobles with high status left, that is their target.
Descending from the flying clouds, Yan Xu summoned Ziu Long in the form of a donkey and walked leisurely towards the gate of the fortress.
In front of the tightly shut door, a soldier shouted at them from the top of a fairly high wall.
"What business are you here for?"
Yan Xu used a bit of qi energy to harden his voice and said, "We are messengers sent to protect your master! Big plans are coming soon, he must show us to that place as soon as possible to return the kingdom of Biu to its original state!"
The entire soldier nearly fainted as the sound of Yan Xu not only entered the ears, but could shake their souls. It could happen when he was still unfamiliar with his current realm, although now he had hidden it and turned into a peak realm of golden core.
To mortal beings like them, the golden core pinnacle realm was already viewed as an actual master in cultivation!
Yan Xu who was aware of that general fact, made use of their beliefs. Although there were still doubts, there was no way they would voice it out just like that in front of a much stronger existence. For people who still love life, following the flow of events is better than inviting his own death quickly.
Soon, the gate of the fortress opened and a fat and monster-like or*c-faced man greeted them.
"Master Envoy! Finally you have arrived to save this useless Servant!"
The fat man kowtowed without regard to his honor. Where life was more important, it seemed like he was already desperate in search of help.
With a refreshing smile Yan Xu helped the fat man stand up then said, "Fat, hurry between us to that place. We can't delay any longer."
"B-well, Mr Envoy!— Did you guys take a look?! Quickly point the way to the Honorable Envoy Master!"
The Fat Man ordered the entire army to work again, while some followed him to deliver Yan Xu to a basement.
On the way to the dungeon, both Yan Xu and Xia'er felt an extremely concentrated and unusual demonic qi energy. They sometimes glanced at each other to ascertain the state of the other party, after which with a short communication they had already made preparations.
The basement deepened, a purple ray emanated on the bottom floor that held many secrets from the small kingdom of Biu.
There was a wisp of purple flesh bound by golden chains.
Those who were involved with the incident of the Situ clan, were very familiar with the aura released by that lump of flesh.
As it turned out, this was the territory that was once occupied by the Situ clan, Nebula Village!
Before completing his last job in the Biu kingdom, Yan Xu sent a voice transmission directly to Xia'er.
"Xia'er, do you want to get out or stay here?"
"What did you say? I'm not a kid anymore!"
"Yes, yes, my Queen, are you going to fight with this lowly creature to solve the old incident forever?"
"Huh?!— aiya!"
Before being able to protest, the other party had already thrown Yan Xu along with the fat man near the wisp of purple meat while sticking out his tongue.
'Jeez, it turns out that Xia'er can also make such a funny face. However, this is outrageous!— Aish!'
Yan Xu immediately stopped his body, while the body of the fat man crashed into a wisp of purple flesh.
The purple flesh wisp fused with the body of the fat man creating a new demon with the cultivation realm of the seventh level Mystic Realm!
Losing her interest, Xia'er took out a soft sofa and casually collapsed and said, "You take care of her."
"Alright, my Queen," Yan Xu said as he bowed.
"My queen, your mother!" yelled Xia'er who was expressionfully colorful.
Little laugh after seeing Xia'er who was finally able to let out his emotions, Yan Xu came back face to face with the demon who had just finished transforming.
It has a large body three meters high, bat wings on the back and four horns. This form of demon was the embodiment of one of the ancient demon king warriors, long before Xia'er's reign. They have a hatred of another race and will destroy anyone who is not their neighbor.
Realizing that innate nature, it made Yan Xu not have to worry about the possibility of Xia'er being attacked. Not that she was afraid that Xia'er would get hurt, but rather the opposite. He was afraid that the demon would die instantly before it could get close to Xia'er.
The demon looked at Yan Xu hatefully more than before, he shouted loudly while pointing at him.
"You! The bastard who had messed up the plans of the ancient demon god! Because of you, my entire race was cursed and made into this purple lump of flesh mixed with the filthy human souls of the Situ Clan!!!"
"Is that so? Now I get it. Hehe ... Hehehe .. — Ahahahahaha!!!!"
Yan Xu laughed out loud but there was a deep anger within him.
After laughing, Yan Xu said, "The ancient demon god should not be able to engage directly. So, he sent one of the messengers and made the Situ clan worship the wrong god. With the sacrifices they make once every fifteen years, I bet your demon god is still starving to death in the realms of sana— oh! No, sorry, I mean, even if he still has— AHAHAHAHA!"
Several branches of veins appeared on the forehead of the demon that had just woken up. It seemed, Yan Xu had already managed to draw the full fury of the demon onto himself.
"LACK OF TEACHING!"
The demon shouted out loudly, instantly knocking down the old fortress that was used as his hiding place all along.
Under the sunlight, Yan Xu faced off against a demon from the ancient times who had two levels of cultivation surpassing him.
Yan Xu glanced at Xia'er who was watching with divine awareness and said in his mind, 'Xia'er, there is still one more secret that you do not know about the fall of the Situ clan. In fact, they knew the false god they worshipped was an ancient demon god. With his ingenuity, they used your arrival and managed to trick the entire eye belonging to the ancient demon god, saving Qiqi who was both their hope as well as their last descendant later ... For their efforts, I—the owner of this old body— can save you in time. In return, I grant their last wish, but who would have thought that fate would bring us back together as well as their old hatred and suffering, I will end here as myself, he's not. Thanks to that I can face you, those who are related to the old owner of this body, I will face you all as myself. Thank you and sorry, maybe I can't be her and vice versa, but I'll make sure you see the real me.'
"Now, it is my turn to repay their kindness and suffering to you, evil beings!"
Pure qi energy radiated from Yan Xu's body by a number thousands of times that of before. He did not have the slightest doubt with his strength, let alone when fighting an enemy that possessed an equivalent cultivation realm. The difference, this time his opponent was the remnants of an old object that was outdated.
