Chapter 420: Chapter 220: Sweeping Across Qingzhou, Storming the Imperial Palace

"Please assist in overseeing Qingzhou City!"

Wei Fan sought out Ji Qingyue.

If they were to sweep the demon fiends within Qingzhou, he would definitely need to follow. As the newly appointed General, Long Jianying also needed to go out and establish authority and integrate with his subordinates, so he couldn’t stay in the city.

Ji Qingyue nodded: "Rest assured, I’ve got everything covered!"

On the third morning, the Qingzhou army was ready to depart but unexpectedly welcomed a group of people.

You Qingfeng!

He led five thousand troops from Tongzhou and also brought some supplies to support Long Jianying. Now that the demon fiends within Tongzhou were almost wiped out and there were enough people, Pei Shinan, an old friend of Long Jianying for hundreds of years, naturally wanted to support him.

In addition to the five thousand troops, there were some of Long Jianying’s old subordinates, such as the Demon Suppression Assistant General Chen Qiming, Xue Li, Deputy General Deng Boyong, Captain Li Chuyang, and Situ Ying.

With these former subordinates, Long Jianying would have an easier time managing Qingzhou in the future.

"Old man Pei Shinan is quite reliable after all. It’s not in vain that I’ve been working for him for hundreds of years!"

Long Jianying was grinning from ear to ear. With these former subordinates, he could quickly gain control of this army composed of various troops. Otherwise, being unfamiliar with all the soldiers, no matter how great his leadership skills were, he wouldn’t be able to deploy them.

You Qingfeng shook his head: "It’s mainly because of Garrison Commander Shentu Bao’s help. Otherwise, even if General Pei wanted to help, he wouldn’t dare to mobilize so many troops without approval from headquarters."

After reorganizing the troops, they left Qingzhou City mightily at noon and marched directly to Wushan Mountain!

Wushan Mountain was the territory of the Thousand-legged Demon Venerable and also the culprit behind the fall of Qingzhou City this time. Although Long Jianying and Ji Qingyue had already slain many demon fiends in Wushan, there were still plenty left.

In just one or two hours of rapid marching, the army reached the foothills of Wushan Mountain.

Wei Fan sat atop the demon horse, gazing forward. The area ahead was filled with demon qi and a foul stench permeated the air. The mountain was crawling with insects, including some large centipedes two or three meters long, chewing on corpses while sunbathing on the rocks.

"Form up the ranks, flatten Wushan, and avenge every fallen civilian and soldier of Qingzhou!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Long Jianying soared into the sky, ordering the army to attack Wushan, insisting that not even a mouse should be spared.

"Long Jianying, do you dare to completely annihilate Wushan?"

A Spirit Concentration Demon Monarch floated into the air, questioning Long Jianying. Although the Thousand-legged Demon Venerable was dead, the current situation in the Great Win Dynasty was more favorable to the demon fiends than to the human race.

In such circumstances, wasn’t Long Jianying afraid that his revenge on Wushan would further exacerbate tensions?

"Do you think I’m that kind of coward? Since I’ve become the General of Qingzhou, anyone who harms my people in Qingzhou must pay the price!"

Long Jianying flew straight over and blasted the Spirit Concentration Demon Monarch in mid-air, completely ignoring the unwritten rule of Martial Venerables not attacking Demon Monarchs.

An hour later, Wushan’s ground was covered with corpses, and the earth was overturned, leaving not even an ant alive.

When Qingzhou City was breached before, the resources, cultivation techniques, and other assets plundered by Wushan from Qingzhou City were recovered, and even the resources of Wushan were thoroughly looted, forming a small mountain.

Long Jianying was delighted, knowing that with these goods, Qingzhou could become more prosperous than before.

That was his goal in sweeping the area: although he now had nearly twenty thousand troops, there weren’t many resources. Without acquiring a batch of resources, it would be difficult to sustain these ten to twenty thousand martial artists. Everyone needed resources for cultivation, and without rewards, who would serve you?

"Long Jianying, do you even have humanity left? You even kill beasts that haven’t developed intelligence!"

A sudden roar echoed through the heavens and the earth. From a distant mountain, a demon venerable with a pig head slowly rose into the sky, glaring at Long Jianying in anger.

Despite having a pig’s head, he also had a long elephant trunk, making him seem more like an elephant without a trunk.

This was the notorious Elephant Pig tribe within the demon race, a unique demon fiend born from the fusion of elephant race and demon race bloodlines.

The Elephant Pig Demon Venerable was the neighbor of the Thousand-legged Demon Venerable’s territory. Long Jianying’s ruthless revenge, killing even beasts without intelligence, was something this demon venerable could not tolerate.

"Save your breath, if you come over, I’ll slaughter you too. When that beast, the Thousand-legged Demon Venerable, invaded Qingzhou City, he spared no old, weak, women, or children. Why didn’t you speak up then?"

Long Jianying soared into the sky, drawing the Eagle Sword. After breaking through to the Martial Venerable level and sharpening it for a while, the Eagle Sword hadn’t become a Martial Venerate Divine Soldier, but it had reached the level of top divine soldiers.

"Don’t be in a rush; I’ll come to play with you later. You’re merely at the Golden Body First Forging. Is this position of General of Qingzhou City really yours to hold?"

The Elephant Pig Demon Venerable mocked, noting that someone at the Golden Body First Forging level was just an existence he could kill at will. If it weren’t for the possibility of Wei Fan still being present, he would have come over earlier without needing Long Jianying to provoke him.

Both the Golden Scale Demon Venerable and Sword Mantis Demon Venerable had been slain, and he dared not move against Long Jianying at this time.

[Elephant Pig Demon Venerable: Golden Body Fourth Forging, master of Wild Boar Mountain, devoured countless humans]

[Kill him to obtain 20,000 years of ordinary power, 40 years of golden body power]

"Do you think you still have a future?"

Wei Fan began to draw the bow from atop his war horse, brilliant white light bursting forth. The essence qi of the world surged in, forming energy arrows.

The Elephant Pig Demon Venerable’s expression changed drastically upon sensing he was locked on, shouting: "Wei Fan, I haven’t provoked you!"

He hadn’t anticipated that this demon, Wei Fan, would follow along to escort Long Jianying. Had he known Wei Fan was also present, he wouldn’t have stepped forward to speak.

He knew the divine bow in Wei Fan’s hand; just days ago, both the Golden Scale Demon Venerable and Sword Mantis Demon Venerable were blasted apart by this divine bow.
