Chapter 81: This is the Dao Yi Sect

Time rewinds a bit, not far from Jinhai Yingdi, a place called Feiying Jian.

This is the largest monster gathering place on the eastern side of Dongzhou, led by the Jin Diaoyaowang.

Originally, the Xuehu Yaowang happened to be here, discussing matters with the Jin Diaoyaowang.

"What do the water folk say?"

"Everything is ready; we just wait for the right moment to act."

"Good. In recent years the human race has grown ever stronger; we demons have no choice but to temporize with them. This time we will surely turn the tables in one fell swoop."

Just as they were speaking, a furious shout suddenly came from the sky.

"Xuehu, save me......"

Hearing this, the Xuehu Yaowang sprang to his feet, his face darkening as he spoke.

"It's Heihu."

As fellow demon kings of Huling, the Xuehu and Heihu Yaowang are naturally on good terms, like brothers.

Upon hearing that the Heihu Yaowang was calling for help, the Xuehu Yaowang could not possibly ignore it, and immediately shouted.

"Damn it, it's Jinhai Yingdi."

Seeing this, the Jin Diaoyaowang beside him also hastily rose, his face flushed with anger as he spoke.

"Xuehu Yaowang, there's no need to panic; I will go with you and surely rescue the Heihu Yaowang."

Immediately, the Jin Diaoyaowang let out a cry that echoed throughout Feiying Jian.

"All demons, hear my order: follow me to level Jinhai Yingdi and rescue the Heihu Yaowang."

As the words fell, in an instant the whole Feiying Jian erupted; demonic energy surged to the heavens.

Like dark clouds pressing down on a city, countless monsters poured out from every corner of Feiying Jian, and under the leadership of the Jin Diaoyaowang and Xuehu Yaowang they rushed swiftly toward Jinhai Yingdi.

The two places were not far apart; within a quarter hour the monsters had already arrived at the gates of Jinhai Yingdi.

From afar one could see the Heihu Yaowang already unconscious, dangling in Hong Zun's hand like a chick.

The Xuehu Yaowang instantly flew into a rage and shouted.

"Stop."

Looking toward the sound, he saw in the distant sky a black mass of countless monsters charging straight at him.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, their numbers were so great they resembled a black wave.

Hong Zun, however, showed no change in expression; he turned and stepped forward to face the horde.

Before the countless monsters, Hong Zun and Qing Shi appeared utterly insignificant, weak and isolated, like a lone leaf adrift in a vast ocean.

At the same time, inside the formation, seeing the beast horde approach, Zhao Zhengping silently drew his long sword and turned to walk out of the formation.

Moreover, the startled Xu Jie snapped back to his senses, his face sinking as he spoke.

"Holy shit, these bastard beasts have rebelled! Junior brothers, follow me out and smash them!"

"Kill."

"Charge!"

The Divine Sword Peak disciples who had previously been wits-and-courage matches with Hong Zun now, without the slightest hesitation, shouted and rushed out.

The Xuehu Yaowang knew nothing of what was happening inside the formation; his gaze remained locked on Hong Zun.

Upon seeing the Heihu Yaowang in that miserable state, killing intent surged through the Xuehu Yaowang's whole being, and he spoke, unable to contain his fury.

"Hong Zun, hand over Heihu."

Hearing this, Hong Zun gave the already-unconscious Heihu Yaowang a contemptuous glance and tossed him aside like trash.

"A piece of trash—if you've got the guts, come and take him."

"Hong Zun, don't push people too far; if you don't give me an explanation for today's affair, I will certainly not let it rest."

Faced with Hong Zun's attitude, the Xuehu Yaowang gritted his teeth in anger, showing not the slightest regard for Huling.

Seeing this, the Jin Diaoyaowang beside him also spoke in a cold voice.

"Do you Dao Yi Sect really think you can cover the sky with one hand in Dongzhou?"

"Isn't that the case?"

To this, Hong Zun replied calmly, saying his mood today was truly awful.

As soon as he said that, both the Xuehu Yaowang and the Jin Diaoyaowang felt a thick killing intent rise in their eyes.

"Hong Zun, this isn't your Dao Yi Sect; you only have two people—do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Give it a try."

Faced with the countless monsters before him, Hong Zun felt not the slightest worry, even though only he and Qing Shi were present.

Hearing this, the Jin Diaoyaowang laughed, his killing intent overflowing.

"Good, good, good—you want to die? I'll grant your wish. I want to see just how the two of you can handle all the monsters of my Feiying Jian and kill them."

At the Jin Diaoyaowang's command, the many monsters let out a roar and then all charged at Hong Zun and his companion.

For a moment the earth shook and mountains trembled, yet before this flood-like monster onslaught Hong Zun stood unmoving, merely curling the corner of his mouth in a faint, confident smile.

The monsters' roars never ceased; regardless of their cultivation or strength, their sheer momentum was terrifying.

Just as the beast horde was about to crash into Hong Zun, a shout of killing came from behind; from within the formation, many Divine Sword Peak disciples rushed out brandishing their swords.

Xu Jie, who had previously refused to leave the formation at all costs, now led the charge alongside Zhao Zhengping at the very front.

"Junior brothers, charge—smash them!"

"Kill."

Hearing the shouts of killing from behind, the smile at Hong Zun's lips grew ever richer.

Although his disciples may sometimes truly be unfilial in certain respects, there is one thing Hong Zun can be certain of: when real trouble arises, this old bone of his can place complete trust in those little rascals.

Just like now, the disciples hesitated not at all as they swept past him and Qing Shi, slamming fiercely into the monster horde.

Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, who were so angry their kidneys ached, were even more the first to charge ahead.

One sword strike felled a monster; Xu Jie's eyes were full of killing intent, where was there any trace of his earlier carefree smile?

They seemed like completely different people, and the other disciples were the same.

Each one was practically an incarnation of a killing god.

Unlike their usual squabbles, at this moment the Divine Sword Peak disciples were truly like a drawn sword, showing all their sharpness.

Xuehu Yaowang and Jin Diaoyaowang, seeing the Divine Sword Peak disciples suddenly rush out of the formation, had faces already as black as a pot bottom.

And at this moment, Hong Zun finally spoke.

"As long as there is a disciple of my Dao Yi Sect somewhere, I could never be alone."

Speaking, his gaze swept over each disciple desperately fighting the monsters, and his gaze also softened.

"These little rascals of mine, though they usually do things that make me angry, are quite unruly."

"But as long as they are here, I am not alone."

"So.............."

Speaking, Hong Zun raised his head, again looking at Xuehu Yaowang and Jin Diaoyaowang, his tone calm but extremely firm.

"Whatever explanation you want, my Divine Sword Peak will give it to you today."

Just as Hong Zun is the confidence of the Divine Sword Peak disciples, the disciples are likewise Hong Zun's confidence.

The Divine Sword Peak usually seems to have no proper conduct, but when something truly happens, it is absolutely the most trustworthy.

Hong Zun has never doubted this.

Upon hearing Hong Zun's words, Xuehu Yaowang and Jin Diaoyaowang, the two demon kings' faces darkened; for a moment they were truly in a predicament, who would have known the Divine Sword Peak would be so fierce, charging up with howls.

Just as they hesitated, not knowing what to do, Xu Jie, in the midst of the fierce battle, actually turned and shouted at Hong Zun.

"Master, what are you standing there for, get them!"
