Chapter 1081

"You destroyed my body—so I'll temporarily borrow yours!"

With the old man's death, the demonic god's will had not perished!

This demonic god's will was eerily potent—it instantly shattered the spatial prison and surged toward Mengying.

Mengying focused her spirit and unleashed a spiritual shockwave.

In battles of will, the outcome often hinges on who has deeper spirit and stronger will.

"You dare challenge a god's will?"

The demonic god's will let out a sinister laugh.

And then…

It was obliterated outright by Mengying's spiritual shockwave!

After completing all this, Mengying's expression remained utterly unchanged; she took one step forward and appeared several kilometers away, standing right beside the girl blowing on a leaf.

Up close, the girl wore a red long robe adorned with exquisite embellishments, appearing exceptionally vivid and ornate.

Her face was exquisitely delicate, and her skin was even paler.

Seeing Mengying arrive, the girl stopped blowing the leaf; beneath her, the massive she-wolf watched Mengying warily, emitting low growls.

This was a legendary she-wolf!

Mengying hadn't expected such a being to exist in the Wild Tribes.

Of course, the Wild Lands were vast—here, the millions of Wild Tribe warriors and their strongest elites likely concentrated within an area equal to a great empire's territory, gathering all the warriors of every Wild Tribe.

The area might even be larger.

Such a vast expanse, if converted into a human empire, would hold at least hundreds of millions of people—but the Wild Tribes had only a few million warriors, and their total population combined barely reached ten million.

Remember, most Wild Tribes had every citizen serving as a soldier.

After the girl stopped playing, the beast attacks slowed.

She held the leaf in hand, her gaze clear as she looked toward Mengying.

In Mengying's perception, this girl carried not a trace of demonic god's aura; she didn't seem evil at all—yet Mengying couldn't fathom why she was with these Wild Tribes.

This was why Mengying hadn't attacked outright.

Though Mengying was now a powerful Saint Realm cultivator and queen of a mighty empire, she herself was still a girl.

Thus, Mengying felt a flicker of curiosity toward this peculiar girl.

For a moment, the two girls studied each other.

At that moment, the girl across from her furrowed her brows, then suddenly spoke: "Watch out!"

Her way of speaking differed greatly from Mengying's; she clearly didn't speak often, but her voice was crisp.

In Mengying's tribe, a hunched, silent shadow appeared, moving without a sound.

The shadow held a dagger, about to stab Mengying—Mengying's finger twitched slightly, and flames burst from the shadow's body, incinerating it instantly!

By now, Mengying's spatial laws were terrifyingly potent; against non-Saint Realm beings, she could directly fuse spatial laws with flame laws, making flames erupt inside the opponent's body.

Such an attack method could even overwhelm beasts with formidable bodies.

Of course, with Mengying's strength, she rarely needed such tactics against non-Saint Realm foes—she could simply flick her wrist and obliterate entire groups.

"You're not from here—why are you helping them?"

At that moment, the girl spoke.

Mengying replied: "And you—why are you attacking this realm?"

The girl said: "They sent people into the wasteland to spread plague; many tribes suffered, and so did the beasts—so I'm helping them."

The "them" here likely referred to the beasts.

Did the Zi Yun Empire release plague?

Though Mengying didn't know the Zi Yun Empire well, her intuition told her such an act wasn't their doing.

Human realms that worshipped the Heavenly Gods rarely did such things.

Of course, exceptions could occasionally occur.

Moreover, after Zi Yun Empire's defeat, it ceded over half its territory to the Flame Empire—equivalent to losing half its blood.

They were preparing to expand into the Wild Lands, dispatching countless nobles to annex Wild Tribes and expand their borders!

Why would they release plague?

Wouldn't that cut off their own path of expansion?

Mengying said: "You've been tricked—this was done by the demonic god!"

"Demonic god?"

The girl exclaimed in surprise.

Mengying reached out and seized an emaciated old man hidden among the beasts.

The old man had been preparing to ambush Mengying.

Mengying's finger moved again; flames ignited atop his head, burning away all his hair, revealing a bald skull and a strangely twisted face.

The strangeness lay in the fact that the old man looked both young and ancient.

"This man is no older than twenty, yet possesses legendary-level power—but within half a day, his strength will vanish, and he'll grow even older, his lifespan reduced to less than a year. He gains power by eating hearts raw and offering sacrifices to the god. Tell me—is such a god not a demonic god?"

Mengying spoke, looking at the girl.

The girl frowned.

Her values, in certain aspects, might differ from Mengying's.

After all, she wasn't from a human realm.

Yet after a moment's thought, she finally nodded.

"Indeed, it's deeply evil!"

The girl said.

Meng Ying then said: "The Zi Yun Empire has been defeated by us and ceded over half its territory. They are preparing to expand into the Wild Lands, so they won't release the plague!"

The girl stared at Meng Ying for a moment, then nodded again: "I believe you!"

Saying this, she picked up Ye Zi and blew into it.

Immediately, the vast army of demonic beasts began to retreat.

With the demonic beasts gone, only the Wild Tribes' army remained on this battlefield!

"Huh? The demonic beasts are retreating!"

Seeing this, the commander of the Zi Yun Empire rejoiced.

"Don't stand there frozen! The demonic beasts are gone—pull yourselves together! You won't lose to these savages who don't even wear armor, will you?"

The commander of the Zi Yun Empire roared.

"Yoyoyoyoyo~~~"

The Wild Tribe warriors did not retreat as the demonic beasts withdrew.

They were never allied with this girl—they merely happened to attack at the same time, so they joined forces temporarily.

Seeing the demonic beasts retreat, the Zi Yun Empire's shattered battle formation rallied; its warriors regained their spirit, quickly reformed their lines, and advanced toward the Wild Tribe warriors.

They had plenty of experience fighting these Wild Tribe warriors.

Yet, after only a short clash, the commander of the Zi Yun Empire realized…

They couldn't hold!

Among these Wild Tribe warriors lurked many individuals possessed by the Will of the Evil God—when they struck, the Zi Yun Empire's battle formations suffered horrific losses!

For example, a withered old man leapt high into the air above one formation, then exploded outright, turning the entire formation into a sea of blood; every warrior touched by his blood screamed in unbearable agony.

That formation lost over half its men instantly.

Another old man spat out a strange gas; once inhaled, Zi Yun Empire warriors fell in droves.

The Evil God's methods were bizarre and bloody!

"Damn, these savages are weird as hell!"

The commander of the Zi Yun Empire was utterly frustrated.

Just when he saw a chance to turn the tide, he was struck down again.

This time, without the demonic beasts, perhaps even their two million troops couldn't stop the Wild Tribes' army.

"So, will this land become your nation now? Will your people hunt demonic beasts? In the southern kingdoms, there are many who hunt demonic beasts. Whenever they hunt too many, I bring the demonic beasts to teach them a lesson—but they never learn."

After the Zi Yun Empire's army clashed with the Wild Tribes' army, the girl chatted with Meng Ying.

Meng Ying had come to understand this girl somewhat.

Her name was Jian.
