In Nanjiang City, Luo Feng, who had undergone demonization, was slaughtering within the city.
The half-demon general, after demonization, was no longer gentle and refined, but terrifying under the illumination of Demonic Qi, like a Demon Lord’s ghastly ghost.
Dozens of feet of pitch-black Sword Qi rampaged continuously through the city, reaping the lives of the creatures within.
One after another, defiant figures ascended into the sky within the city, attempting to battle the giant Luo Feng who had undergone demonization.
However, with black Sword Qi sweeping across, those figures that soared into the sky turned to ash.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood in Luo Feng’s residence, holding the head of the Human Puppet Master, glaring as he interrogated.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “Is this the agreement you reached with Luo Feng? Do you intend to kill all the living beings in the city?”]
The head of the Human Puppet Master, now only a head, laughed hee-hee, looking very pleased as it watched Luo Feng’s massive figure growing distant.
[Human Puppet Master: “Nanjiang City was built with the Immortal Lady Jade’s utmost efforts. Those mortals who do not appreciate it, letting the Immortal Sword take back is only fair and justified”]
[Human Puppet Master: “The deed Luo Feng this lad wants to do happens to be what this old man wishes as well!”]
[Human Puppet Master: “But rest assured, young lad, you are not from Nanjiang City, you’re an outsider, we will not kill you”]
[Human Puppet Master: “According to the agreement, once Luo Feng has slaughtered all the fools and traitors in this city, the Startling Swan Immortal Sword will still be yours, and you may leave with the Immortal Sword”]
The head of the Human Puppet Master consoled Jiang Xiaoyu.
But Jiang Xiaoyu, holding the head, glared straight back.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “That damned sword has turned into a demonic sword! And it’s a sword that has killed a million!”]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “If Luo Feng truly slaughters every living being in this city, massacres a million… who would dare to take that sword?”]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “The terrifying blood evil aura formed after the massacre of a million by the demonic sword, even Immortals would steer clear of it, do you think I would dare to take it?”]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “If I so much as touch the hilt of the demonic sword, the blood evil aura would instantly make a fool out of me!”]
Jiang Xiaoyu, out of anger, threw the head he was holding into the air, fiercely kicking it away with a foot.
The head of the Human Puppet Master, kicked away, tumbled through the air and landed in the hands of an old woman.
Granny Gu…
The mysterious and unpredictable Granny Gu abruptly appeared from the shadows.
With an expressionless face, she caught the head of the Human Puppet Master, saying to Jiang Xiaoyu.
[Granny Gu: “Young man from out of town, you have caused a huge disaster!”]
The moment he saw Granny Gu, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately retreated several steps, reacting as frightened as a mouse encountering a cat.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “Gu-gu-gu…”]
Jiang Xiaoyu, who had always been unrestrained and carefree, suddenly started to stutter in his speech.
Granny Gu frowned at him, tossing aside the head of the Human Puppet Master in her hand.
[Granny Gu: “Why are you so afraid of me? You even dared to steal the sword of Immortal Lady Jade, yet you’re scared of me?”]
Granny Gu obviously found Jiang Xiaoyu to be odd.
[Jiang Xiaoyu (awkwardly): “Well, Granny, you have divine powers. Now that the half-demon general Luo Feng has undergone demonization, do you have a way to stop him? He’s going to kill every living being in the city!”]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: “I should be fine since they said they won’t kill me. But Granny Gu, you are among the living beings of this Nanjiang City too, right? He definitely won’t spare you!”]
Jiang Xiaoyu began to stoke the fire.
Yet Granny Gu looked at him coldly, assessing him from head to toe.
[Granny Gu: “You slick and odd youngster, your cunning face is irritating. But for some reason, this old woman feels like I’ve seen you somewhere before… have we met?”]
As Granny Gu spoke, Li Muyang inadvertently held his breath.
Even though it’s from a third-person perspective, his past experience of being instantly killed by an Evil God was so terrifying that it left Li Muyang with some psychological trauma.
Fearing that the eerie Granny Valley in front of him would summon the Evil God again.
But fortunately, without Jiang Xiaoyu actively confessing, Granny Valley could not remember a boy who died young in Black Cloud Fort centuries ago.
After all, there were many people in Black Cloud Fort.
And the young Jiang Xiaoyu who died prematurely looked somewhat different from the middle-aged Jiang Xiaoyu now.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: …When you were talking to Luo Feng on thebroken bridge, I just happened to be hiding under the bridge.]
Jiang Xiaoyu half-truthfully bluffed his way through this affair.
Granny Valley frowned and gave him a once-over before shaking her head.
[Granny Valley: Never mind, pressing matters are at hand. Boy, it seems you want to stop Luo Feng from slaughtering the citizens of the city?]
[Granny Valley: Although it’s a disaster you’ve caused, if you want to make amends, there’s actually a chance.]
[Granny Valley: How about it? Do you want this old woman to teach you how to stop Luo Feng from massacring the town, to atone for the sins you’ve committed?]
The mysterious Granny Valley offered a choice as soon as she spoke.
[Jiang Xiaoyu (whispering): …damn old hag moral abducting, makes it sound like it’s all my fault.]
[Granny Valley: ?]
[Granny Valley: What are you muttering under your breath?]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Ah… nothing, I was saying I’m willing, please Granny, teach me how to stop the Half-Demon General.]
After Jiang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked towards the huge demonized Half-Demon General rampaging and slaughtering in the city, and then said.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: By the way, Granny, you’re so powerful and even an ancient evil lineage from Black Cloud Fort, if you personally take action, you could defeat Luo Feng, right?]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: Although Luo Feng and the demon sword are frightening, you’re no easy target either! If you call upon the Demon Kings in the city and the leaders of the Human Race, maybe together you could defeat Luo Feng.]
Jiang Xiaoyu made the most feasible suggestion.
But Granny Valley just shook her head.
[Granny Valley: It’s not that simple. Those Demon Kings and Human Race leaders are wary of each other and have just been slaughtering en masse. Asking them to put aside their hatred and join forces now is as good as a fool’s dream.]
[Granny Valley: This old woman can only point you towards one method, then try to buy you some time.]
[Granny Valley: Whether you can stop Luo Feng or not, it all depends on the fortune of you and the souls in this city.]
Granny Valley gave Jiang Xiaoyu a profound look and pulled out a token. Your next journey awaits at empire
[Granny Valley: This is the Drowning Soul Order. Take this token to the Drowning Soul Lake in the city, there’s an ancient well at the bottom of the lake, and within the well is a remnant soul.]
[Granny Valley: Go and release that remnant soul. It might be able to stop the demonized Luo Feng.]
[You received Drowning Soul Order x1]
Seeing the pop-up from the system, Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to turn around and leave.
The Drowning Soul Lake was the lake under the broken bridge in the city, said to have the ability to erode both demons and evils.
But having an ancient well underneath the lake, and a remnant soul in the well?
What kind of remnant soul was so powerful that it could even stop the demonized Luo Feng?
Li Muyang was very curious, controlling Jiang Xiaoyu to leave the residence of the Half-Demon General Luo Feng and head towards the Drowning Soul Lake at the city center.
At this moment, the city was still in chaos.
Upon leaving Luo Feng’s residence, he saw a group of fully armed Half-Demons slaughtering on the long streets.
During the great battle between the Human Race and the demons, the Half-Demons in Nanjiang City eerily remained silent, not participating.
It was unexpected that they, like their general, would now indiscriminately engage in a massacre…
It seemed that though these Half-Demons were the fewest in number within the city, they were the most loyal to the Jade Immortal.
