Chapter 453: Chapter 236: Hezhou Reinforcements, Five-Colored Demon Bull Clan Leader

"You scared them away; looks like there’s no need to head to the Mist Smoke Sect!" Ji Qingyue laughed.

The two left Yunzhou, originally planning to visit the Mist Smoke Sect. If anyone dared to remain there indiscriminately, Wei Fan wouldn’t mind taking action. But now it seemed unnecessary.

"Where to next?"

With the Mist Smoke Sect in disarray, she wasn’t sure where to go next. Neither she nor Wei Fan belonged to the Daqian Kingdom, so they didn’t feel any sense of belonging here.

"I want to take a look at the Extreme Martial Sect!"

The Mist Smoke Sect had been destroyed, but the Extreme Martial Sect remained. It was impossible for the Sect Leader of the Mist Smoke Sect and the Elder of the Extreme Martial Sect to come looking for trouble and then only destroy the Mist Smoke Sect—that wasn’t his style.

Moreover, he wanted to see the complete Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual.

Ji Qingyue was taken aback, just about to speak, when she noticed Wei Fan furrow his brow.

In the next moment, Wei Fan flipped his wrist, and the Inspector’s waist token appeared in his hand.

Focusing his heart spirit, a message appeared in his mind: "Brother Wei, where are you? It’s Xie Cailin!"

Xie Cailin?

Wei Fan glanced outside; he knew the name of this small city, but he didn’t know which province it belonged to.

He couldn’t be bothered to ask, so he edited a message with his heart spirit and sent it out: "Near Yunzhou. I don’t know exactly where this is. Brother Xie, if you need anything, speak freely."

Soon, a reply came: "Brother Wei, you’re straightforward. To be honest, there’s a Demon Venerable that wants to invite you to lend a hand and take him down!"

Wei Fan was slightly stunned—inviting him to kill a Demon Venerable?

Now within the Daqian Kingdom, there shouldn’t be any Demon Venerables left. After he killed the Double-headed Elephant Venerable and the Dragon-horned Deer Venerable, all the Demon Venerables within the Daqian Kingdom had fled.

Nevertheless, he agreed, not asking Xie Cailin for specific details through the waist token. The two set a meeting point, and after having a meal, Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue soared into the sky, heading to the agreed location with Xie Cailin!

...

In Hezhou, one of the thirty provinces of the Daqian Kingdom adjoining the Demon Fiends, it was also the place least afflicted by demonic troubles among the provinces bordering the Demon Fiends.

This was because, in the past, a remarkable martial artist from the Hezhou Demon Suppression Bureau emerged—Zhuang Qinghua.

Zhuang Qinghua broke into the Divine Realm before the age of twenty and became a Martial Venerable before fifty, achieving the Five-Colored Golden Body.

As Zhuang Qinghua grew, he became the General of the Hezhou Demon Suppression Bureau. By over four hundred years old, he completed the ninefold forging of his Golden Body, being among the top level powerhouses among the generals of the Daqian Kingdom, surpassing even the cultivation of Garrison Commander Liu Guangyu.

With his cultivation, he could have been transferred to the Capital City to take on the more powerful position of Garrison Commander, but he was concerned about Hezhou, declining orders from the Capital City several times, unwilling to leave.

Therefore, in Hezhou, the Demon Fiends did not dare act too rampantly. Even if the Flying Tiger Venerable was killed and the Demon Fiends avenged the Daqian Kingdom, Hezhou remained relatively stable.

"And then?"

In a certain tavern in Hezhou, Wei Fan looked questioningly at Xie Cailin.

Xie Cailin said, "Two days ago, Zhuang Qinghua received a letter, stating that the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Race intends to hunt him down. It warned him to be prepared; if he dared flee Hezhou, the Five-Colored Demon Bull would raze Hezhou City."

Wei Fan slightly frowned: "Is the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Race insane? If he wants to hunt down a province’s general, he should just come directly, why notify him in advance?"

This was extremely unreasonable; if the Demon Fiends wanted to kill someone, how could they possibly inform you beforehand?

Xie Cailin smiled wryly: "Brother Wei probably doesn’t understand the significance of the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Race, do you?"

Wei Fan nodded lightly; indeed, he hadn’t heard much about the Five-Colored Demon Bull, only knowing that among the cattle-type Demon Fiends, the Red Eyebrow Ox had a strong bloodline.

"The Red Eyebrow Ox’s bloodline is indeed powerful, but compared to the Five-Colored Demon Bull, it’s nothing."

Xie Cailin took a sip of wine: "Brother Wei, do you know why this Five-Colored Demon Bull is called that? It’s because their bloodline is incredibly powerful. Any Demon Fiend born from this race, once they become a Demon Venerable, can at least achieve the Five-Colored Golden Body.

Therefore, outsiders call this race the Five-Colored Demon Bull. The Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Race is a mighty Demon Fiend with a Six-Colored Golden Body, having completed the ninth forging of his Golden Body over fifty years ago."

Wei Fan showed a hint of surprise. Such a bloodline was truly terrifying. Up to this point, he had seen very few Five-Colored Golden Bodies, whether among the Human Race or the Demon Fiends.

The Five-Colored Demon Bull Race can ensure that each of their bloodline descendants can achieve the Five-Colored Golden Body, suggesting that many Demon Kings were born from their ancestors; otherwise, their bloodline wouldn’t be so fearsome.

"A Six-Colored Golden Body, no wonder they dare send a letter provoking before the hunt!"

Wei Fan understood that the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull wasn’t crazy; the Six-Colored Golden Body gave him such confidence.

With a Six-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging, unless a Seven-Colored Golden Body appeared, he was virtually invincible.

Xie Cailin nodded: "Fifty years ago, the Daqian Kingdom’s conflict with the Demon Fiends was originally evenly matched. It was this beast, relying on the Six-Colored Golden Body, that killed many Martial Venerables, putting the Daqian Kingdom at a disadvantage ever since."

Even the Garrison Commander was killed by him, resulting in Liu Guangyu, an Eighth Forged Martial Venerable, taking the Garrison Commander’s position.

Fifty years ago, before this beast vanished, it killed a batch of Martial Venerables, after which it never showed up again. Only then did the Daqian Kingdom manage to recover some primordial energy.

I suspect that during these fifty years, it went to attempt to break through to the Demon King realm, but apparently failed!"

A mighty Demon Venerable disappearing for fifty years, there wouldn’t be any other reason but attempting to reach the Demon King realm.

Fifty years, yet even a Demon Venerable with a Six-Colored Golden Body couldn’t break through to the Demon King realm. No wonder there are so few kings in the Wilderness.

Ji Qingyue couldn’t help but blurt out: "Elder Xie, do you mean the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull is back this time to take a batch of Martial Venerable corpses and continue to attempt to reach the Demon King realm?"
