Chapter 323

In North Ju Luzhou, the sky seemed to be a perpetually gloomy gray-black.

Heavy miasma occupied the space between the layered, rugged mountains and treacherous waters.

From time to time, unknown fierce beasts would let out dull roars from the depths of the poisonous swamps, causing the miasma to ripple.

Two streams of light tore through this deathly gray-black silence and hovered in mid-air.

Su Chen, in a cyan robe, stood with his hands behind his back on the clouds.

He looked down at the vast and sinister land below, his eyes slightly closed.

"The Qi of the five elements here is extremely chaotic, with baleful Qi and death Qi intertwined." Su Chen opened his eyes, his tone flat, "It is worthy of being North Ju Luzhou, which is regarded as a place of exile by both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect."

Sun Wukong stood by Su Chen's side, his golden pupils scanning below, and he grinned indifferently: "Rugged mountains and treacherous waters; this broken place is only somewhere our Demon Clan and those brainless fierce beasts are willing to stay."

The destination of their trip was the ruins of Mount Buzhou.

According to the map given by Bai Ze, the location of the ruins was deep in the wasteland in the middle of North Ju Luzhou.

From their current position, there was still a journey of hundreds of thousands of miles.

Sun Wukong reached out to scratch his cheek, his gaze suddenly falling toward the southeast, his eyes stirring.

"Little Brother, since we've come to North Ju Luzhou, why not take the opportunity to visit my two brothers?" Sun Wukong turned to look at Su Chen.

Su Chen withdrew his gaze: "The Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King?"

"Correct." Sun Wukong nodded, "They came to North Ju Luzhou to expand their territory, and it's been quite a few years since we last met."

Of the six Great Sages of the Demon Alliance, Sun Wukong is the Alliance Leader, and the other five are all Deputy Alliance Leaders.

Several Deputy Alliance Leaders are all at the Tai Yi Jin Xian cultivation base.

The Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King, joining forces, can be considered a force not to be underestimated on the outskirts of North Ju Luzhou.

Su Chen pondered slightly.

The ruins of Mount Buzhou are dangerously unknown; before that, if he could probe some of the recent movements in North Ju Luzhou from these two local snakes, that would not be bad.

"Good, let's follow Monkey Brother and visit them on the way." Su Chen nodded.

"Let's go!" Sun Wukong's spirit lifted, his somersault cloud turned, and he flew toward the southeast first.

Su Chen transformed into a cyan light and followed closely behind.

A moment later.

The miasma in front gradually thinned, replaced by a continuous mountain range.

This was the Daoist field managed by the Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King.

According to the rules of the Demon Alliance, the outskirts must be set up with strict arrays and mountain-patrolling sentries.

But at this moment, Sun Wukong stopped his cloud abruptly.

Su Chen stood side by side with him, his gaze cast forward, his eyes instantly turning cold.

A thick, bloody smell rushed toward them on the cold wind.

In the mountain range ahead, the originally towering main peak was in a mess, with lingering, sharp fluctuations of magic power.

Among the mountain forests, the scorched black earth was covered with huge craters, which were traces left by high-level spell bombardments.

"This lingering magic power..." Su Chen closed his eyes, his spiritual sense instantly spreading out, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.

A moment later, he opened his eyes abruptly, a glimmer of light flashing in the depths of his eyes, "Extremely pure metal-element power, carrying a murderous aura; it was left by an existence at least at the Tai Yi Jin Xian level."

A tattered black flag in front was inserted obliquely on a half-mountain ridge, and the two characters "Demon Alliance" embroidered with gold thread on the flag were now dyed dark red with blood.

The cold wind rolled past, and the broken flag fluttered, as if emitting a shrill wail.

"Something happened." Su Chen's voice was low.

The smile on Sun Wukong's face disappeared without a trace.

A violent force erupted from within his body, and even the surrounding air was forced to emit a loud explosion.

"Seeking death!" Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and spat out two words, his figure transforming into a golden lightning bolt, diving straight down.

Su Chen followed closely behind.

The two landed on the mountainside of the broken main peak.

What they saw along the way was shocking.

The corpses of demon soldiers lay scattered on the ground, some in their original forms, some incomplete.

A few demon soldiers who had survived by luck were supporting each other, searching through the ruins for companions who still had breath.

Throughout the mountain, a murderous and desperate atmosphere permeated.

"Stop!"

A hoarse, sharp shout came from behind a huge rock.

A demon general covered in blood stumbled out.

He held a large saber that was broken in half tightly, half of his face was scorched, and his left arm was severed at the root.

"You bastards, you still dare to come back! I'll fight you to the death!"

The demon general did not even see clearly who had arrived.

The demon power in his body was already nearly exhausted, and he was supporting himself entirely on one breath.

He roared, raised the broken saber, and dragged his broken body toward Sun Wukong and Su Chen.

Sun Wukong stood in place, not dodging.

The demon general rushed to the front, and the broken saber slashed down fiercely.

However, when his gaze finally focused and he saw the hairy face with the thunder-god mouth in front of him, the slashing saber stopped abruptly in mid-air.

The demon general trembled violently all over, that single eye widened abruptly, and the eye socket instantly turned red.

"Clang!"

The broken saber fell onto the rock, making a crisp sound.

The demon general's legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground with a "thud."

He raised his head, looking at Sun Wukong, and then at Su Chen, who was in a cyan robe standing beside Sun Wukong.

"Alliance Leader... Advisor..." The demon general's voice carried grievance and despair, "You... you finally came..."

This shout startled the surviving demon soldiers in the surrounding ruins.

They turned their heads with difficulty, and when they saw those two figures.

On the deathly silent battlefield, a cheer erupted.

"It's the Alliance Leader! The Alliance Leader is here!"

"The Advisor is here too! We are saved!"

Those demon soldiers who were injured and barely standing knelt down in a crowd.

Su Chen looked at the injured soldiers all over the ground, his eyes extremely cold.

The Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King were both Tai Yi Jin Xian, and the demon soldiers under their command were also the elite of the Demon Alliance.

To be able to beat these demon soldiers and generals into such a state was definitely not the work of an ordinary force.

Sun Wukong stepped forward and helped the demon general up from the ground.

In his golden pupils, the murderous intent was almost about to condense into substance.

"Who did this?" Sun Wukong's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, word by word, "Where are my two brothers?"

The demon general said: "It was a force that recently arrived nearby, led by a demon king who is good at using a large saber..."

"That person is extremely powerful; the two Great Sages joined forces, but they were not his match."

"Where are they?" Sun Wukong asked.

"To protect the brothers, the two Great Sages fought with that demon king, were injured, and have now returned to the cave dwelling to recuperate."

"Lead the way; we will go find the two Great Sages first." Su Chen ordered.

"Yes!"

On the broken main peak, the cold wind carried a thick, bloody smell as it shuttled between the mountain rocks.

The one-armed demon general led the way, and Sun Wukong followed behind without saying a word.

Su Chen walked at the end, his gaze sweeping over the ruins along the way.

Huge gullies remained on the ground, which were traces left by extremely domineering magic power slashes.
