My disciples are all villains.

Ying Long instructed Meng Zhang a few times, and Meng Zhang agreed. He only left with Lu Zhou with peace of mind after Meng Zhang promised to guard the human defensive line in Great Yan.

With Meng Zhang stationed in Great Yan, there would be no big problems. The cultivators would be able to deal with the ordinary fierce beasts and ordinary divine beasts with peace of mind since Meng Zhang was guarding them.

Apart from Whitzard, all of the other mounts were at Golden Court Mountain. With the nourishment from the beast essence and the Great Void Seeds’ aura, they had become divine beasts. They could easily be the second line of defense if need be.

In addition, Jiang Aijian and the Qin Yuan would be returning soon. With the help of an ancient Saint slayer like the Qin Yuan, Golden Court Mountain, and also Great Yan, were as safe as they could be.

As for Lu Zhou, his target was those remnant Saint slayers that were hiding in the dark.

Lu Zhou rode on Whitzard and flew through Misty Forest and Moonlight Woodland. He had already grown numb to the carcasses of the fierce beasts that were strewn all over the mountains and plains.

Ying Long looked around as he followed Lu Zhou, filled with emotions. Then, he asked, “Where are we going?”

“During the great battle between humans and fierce beasts in ancient times, do you know which ancient Saint slayers survived?” Lu Zhou asked while flying.

Ying Long nodded and said, “Mount Huaijiang’s ghostly beast, Li Lun; Mount Kunlun’s Kai Ming; Mount Luomu’s Chang Cheng; Mount Yu’s Xi Wangmu; Mount Gui’s Qi Tong; Mount You’s Ru Shou; Mount Gang’s Hong Guang.” Then, he added, “Li Lun is very similar to Ying Zhao, and Kai Ming is somewhat similar to Lu Wu.”

There were many Saint slayers in the world.

Ying Long glanced at Whitzard and thought about Nine Peaks Mountain, where spiritual beasts gathered when the Unholy One ruled the Great Void.

Lu Zhou sighed. “Mount Changliu… That was Bai Zhaoju’s territory, but now, it has become a wasteland…”

“It’s a pity that those places have long turned into smoke. After Ming Xin took control of the Great Void, those places were all classified as forbidden areas.”

“Including my Grand Mystic Mountain, right?”

Ying Long smiled without saying anything with an expression that seemed to say, “What do you think?”

Those places were from ancient times. After the Great Void ascended to the sky, they had long become part of the mountains, rivers, and plains.

The ancient great gods and heroes had also left one after another.

However, those Saint slayers that guarded the famed mountains still existed. They were referred to by humans as remnant ancient Saint slayers.

When the duo arrived at the end of Moonlight Forest…

A dark light flashed before it disappeared.

Ying Long’s eyes glinted coldly as he said, “What a cunning fierce beast.”

The dark light flashed again before a beam of light shot up into the sky.

“No wonder. Brother, as it turns out, you’re chasing after this fierce beast. We can’t let it escape,” Ying Long said before flying over.

“It’s already escaped through the runic passage…” Lu Zhou said as he pointed in the direction of the beam of light, “I didn’t expect it to know the location of the runic passage.”

This runic passage was constructed by Zhao Hongfu when the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion passed through Moonlight Woodland.

After Ying Long flew over and took a closer look, he said, “If I’m not mistaken, that was Li Lun. No wonder such a great battle erupted in Great Yan. It’s said that wherever Li Lun goes, it would bring chaos and smoke would rise everywhere…”

Lu Zhou observed his surroundings.

After a moment, Ying Long asked, “Brother Ji, aren’t you in a hurry?”

“Li Lun has the ability to manipulate and assimilate with plants…” Lu Zhou said. Then, he raised his hand slightly, and a slender energy sword appeared between his fingers.

‘One gives birth to two; two give birth to three; three give birth to all things.’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless energy swords swept through the Moonlight Woodland, slashing everything that stood in their paths.

Alas, Lu Zhou did not find anything abnormal. Finally, he said, “Let’s go.”

The duo stepped into the runic passage, and a beam of light shot into the sky.

In less than 15 minutes, the duo appeared in a different land.

Lu Zhou sat on Whitzard’s back and surveyed the land and mountains.

Ying Long, who was following behind Lu Zhou, saw countless fierce beasts attacking humans at a towering city wall not too far away. He asked curiously, “Where are we?”

“Near the capital of the red lotus domain,” Lu Zhou replied.

Ying Long looked at the fierce beasts, rolled up his sleeves, and said valiantly, “Leave them to me.”

Lu Zhou did not pay attention to these fierce beasts. Instead, he rode on Whitzard and flew toward the distant mountains.

Meanwhile, Ying Long reverted to his true form. Its immense body shook heaven and earth as it soared up to the sky. It killed thousands upon thousands of fierce beasts with just a release of its dragon’s breath.

When the humans saw the immense dragon, they were thoroughly shocked. They were also confused as to why the dragon was helping them.

The cultivators on the frontline in the red lotus domains were Nie Qingyun from the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain, Sikong Beichen from the Ninth Temple, and the royal family’s Sky Martial Court.

In the past, Nie Qingyun and Sikong Beichen did not get along at all. After experiencing many twists and turns, both parties resolved their enmity and became friendly allies. When disaster landed on humankind, the Ninth Temple and the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain immediately organized a large number of cultivators to fight the fierce beasts.

At this time, Sikong Beichen, who was hovering above a forest outside of the palace, was also surprised and confused when he saw the huge dragon in the sky. “Dragon! There are really dragons in this world!”

After the nine domains began to communicate, everyone’s knowledge had increased in just a few short decades. However, most of the knowledge they shared came from books and word of mouth. None of them had witnessed the things they read about.

Unsurprisingly, even the knowledgeable and experienced Sikong Beichen could not remain calm when he saw Ying Long in all its glory.

Nie Qingyun flew over from afar and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sikong Beichen as he looked at the sky.

Another wave of dragon’s breath killed a large number of fierce beasts.

Ying Long was extremely powerful. Even if it had yet to recover its cultivation, it could easily deal with divine beasts and ordinary Saint slayers, let alone ordinary fierce beasts.

In just a few breaths, the pressure from the battle that weighed heavily on the humans had instantly eased up.
