Chapter 507: Jing Yuheng arrives, the plague demon beast flees

On Longshe Shan.

A guest arrived.

The guest, long unseen, once again stepped onto the land of Longshe Shan, feeling much emotion.

Jing Yuheng went up the mountain alone; her subordinates had all gone to White Crane Town, for this place they were unsuitable to enter and could not enter.

As per the old custom, after waiting a while, she entered Longshe Shan and saw Chen Chuyang.

Upon meeting, the two needed no words to know each other's purpose; Jing Yuheng spoke directly: "The plague demon beast has reappeared; Mu Longhao surely hides nearby. Chen Chuyang, Your Majesty sent me this time to have you act and help slay Mu Longhao."

"I will handle the plague demon beast here with my people; after success, your reward will not be lacking."

They are old acquaintances, with excellent reputations.

Chen Chuyang naturally took the storage bag before him, glanced at it, and hid it away.

Jing Yuheng was already used to this, yet she couldn't help but glance twice more; every time Chen Chuyang saw a treasure, he couldn't help feeling happy, though he didn't show it, nor was it obvious, but he...

Before Jing Yuheng, there was no concealment at all, quite natural, quite...

"These are a deposit; more will follow later."

Jing Yuheng continued: "This demon Mu Longhao is extremely cautious, always hidden, rarely showing himself; this demon must be brewing mischief, therefore."

"If Mu Longhao is not eliminated, I cannot rest; previously, because the palace affairs were unfinished, I could not free my hands."

"Now we can proceed slowly; first deal with the most serious Mu Longhao—this single demon brings disaster more severe and terrifying than anyone else, having killed many in succession; if not resolved, it will cause panic."

"This is also the first matter Qi Ruohua must handle after taking that position; it must be handled very well."

"As for those clans, set them aside for now."

"First kill the plague demon beast, then together with Mu Longhao; relying on the strength of the Black Dragon Guard, this cannot be done for now."

"Most of the Black Dragon Guard are stationed at the palace for protection; Jing Yuheng took a portion, excluding the White Wolf Vice Hall Master and her coming here, which is to help Chen Chuyang eliminate Mu Longhao—Mu Longhao is a demon from Tianwai, with many means, skilled at hiding and evasion; finding him is not easy, and killing him is even harder."

"I can help, but I cannot guarantee I can kill him." Chen Chuyang said uncertainly: "This demon Mu Longhao is very cunning; at the slightest sign of trouble, he will flee immediately, giving you no chance to strike."

"I have once attacked this demon and nearly succeeded; upon seeing me, he will surely flee."

"This problem is the most important."

"As soon as he appears, Mu Longhao sees him and flees without hesitation, making it impossible to strike."

Hearing this, Jing Yuheng frowned: "So it seems; he is indeed very cunning."

"Chen Chuyang, just keep watch; I will lure him out."

"She will use herself as bait to tempt Mu Longhao into action."

"It is dangerous, but to find and kill Mu Longhao, this must be done."

Chen Chuyang lowered his eyes and said in surprise: "You aren't afraid of death?"

Jing Yuheng shook her head: "Not afraid; as long as I can kill him, what is there to fear about death?"

"Pa-pa."

Chen Chuyang clapped, applauding her courage.

"This woman is a ruthless person, harsh toward herself."

"Mu Longhao does not know when he offended her, but she has set her sights on him."

"The fate of offending a woman is quite miserable."

"Fine; as long as he shows his head, I can kill him."

"Good."

"What Jing Yuheng wants is this promise; Chen Chuyang's agreed-upon matter will certainly be acted upon."

"As for timing, Chen Chuyang will manage it well; Jing Yuheng trusts him on this."

"The purpose of this visit to Longshe Shan is essentially fulfilled; she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart."

"Next, we must..."

"Hmm?"

Jing Yuheng prepared to leave; Chen Chuyang's face turned strange, looking toward the distance.

"You..."

The next second, Jing Yuheng's complexion also changed; the jade slip at her waist kept vibrating.

Upon picking it up, she saw it was a message from the White Crane Leader and the White Wolf Vice Hall Master, both conveying the same matter.

"The plague demon beast was not killed; it escaped."

"They are currently pursuing it."

"Seeking help."

"Damn it, the plague demon beast escaped."

Jing Yuheng knew she could not delay; having finally found the plague demon beast, how could she let it go?

"This time, we must kill it."

"Chen Chuyang, I will go ahead first."

"Go."

Chen Chuyang looked toward the distance; his gaze fell upon White Crane Town.

"The plague demon beast is becoming ever more troublesome; its strength, compared to last time, has undergone a complete transformation."

Shang Hongxue saw Jing Yuheng leave and approached.

"Brother Chuyang, has something major happened?"

"Nothing much, just the plague reappearing."

"Ah?" Shang Hongxue was startled; is the plague really coming?

"Brother Chuyang, then you must not go down the mountain; the plague has no eyes, if you..."

Chen Chuyang rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You, you underestimate your older brother Chuyang; it's just a plague, it can't threaten me."

"This plague demon beast has surfaced again; we must not let it escape."

"We cannot kill it this time; next time it will become even stronger, and then it will be hard to kill."

Jing Yuheng and the others all understand this principle.

That's why so many people have been sent this time to surround and kill it.

If we fail, the consequences are unimaginable.

The Great Qi Dynasty hasn't even found its footing yet, and how many people are watching.

Qi Ruohua does not allow failure.

"Older brother Chuyang, you're not going down the mountain, are you?"

Chen Chuyang held her and gently said, "Don't rush; now is not the time."

Then he bent over and picked up the little girl.

Shang Hongxue lay in Chen Chuyang's embrace, soft as water.

Baihe Town.

The ground burst open, a hole appeared, and a passage stretched underground.

White Crane and the White Wolf Vice Hall Master charged in, while the Black Dragon Guards behind them each fought.

Some Black Dragon Guards followed them inside, while others began setting up formations to seal Baihe Town.

Even underground, we won't let it escape.

Strengthen the formation, imprison the earth.

The formation rose; these Black Dragon Guards are no weaklings, experienced and quick to react.

Baihe Town is completely sealed off, the earth, the surroundings—everything is sealed.

The fleeing plague demon beast discovered the formation; it could not break through nor dig deeper.

It began to change direction, escaping from another side.

White Crane anxiously said, "Right ahead, Baihe Town is sealed; it cannot leave."

"White Wolf Vice Hall Master, hurry up and kill it."

To kill the plague demon beast, how many people have died.

We cannot give up halfway.

The plague demon beast before us is already very weak; this is a good opportunity.

If we miss it, we don't know when we'll get another chance.

"White Crane Commander, be careful, don't let it deceive you."

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master followed behind, keeping his distance, not rushing to act.

The White Crane Commander obeyed his orders and did not approach directly.
