You Province under attack

The Demon beneath Li Hao was the Candlelight God, who was now revealing his true form, but not fully.

After all, the original body of the Candlelight God was over a hundred feet tall, and his movements were so powerful that they caused the earth to shake and mountains to tremble.

Returning to his homeland, Li Hao felt a long-lost sense of nostalgia. Although the difference Outer Great Wasteland Heaven was extremely obvious, the energy wandering between Heaven and Earth was significantly reduced and thin, thus it was described as a barren land.

But it is this "barren" earthy Aura that is like something buried in his bones, the familiar smell he has been breathing since he was born.

It's very comfortable.

This comfort is not the same as the comfort experienced during cultivation, but it brings joy to both body and mind.

His thoughts traveled across mountains and rivers, reaching the Heaven's Gate Pass, the Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard, the old man in the Small Courtyard, and the little girl with the sword.

If you have time, you can invite that gluttonous woman to come and have a barbecue together.

Thinking of those rare moments Years peace and tranquility amidst the wind and snow, a slight smile appeared on Li Hao's lips.

Let the Candlelight God continue its journey.

Through the attributes of the Universe Chart, Li Hao saw that the number of marks he left behind had decreased from 100 to 96, with only four Battle Flag lost.

This is the total number of Battle Flag he left at Heaven's Gate Pass. They may have been damaged accidentally, but from this number, we can roughly judge that Heaven's Gate Pass was probably safe and sound.

The Candlelight God carried Li Hao on his back, soaring through the air, with mountains, rivers Lake rushing past below.

Seeing those vast, deep ravines and lakes, Li Hao could sense the presence of Demon Aura within them, and his heart couldn't help but itch with desire. He memorized these places one by one, for they were all excellent spots for wild fishing.

We can invite Old Feng to come fishing together later...

At this moment, Evening Primrose, which had transformed into a crimson wooden ring wrapped around her wrist, also raised a Chi Xu from the ring, swaying in the wind like a cowlick, curiously observing the new sights of this Outer Great Wasteland Heaven.

Where are we going?

"Let's go see some old friends first, then we'll go see the All Under Heaven."

"Oh."

Evening Primrose's Little Chi Xu extended onto Li Hao's arm, allowing him to see everything around him more clearly.

Li Hao didn't stop him, letting the Qing Feng caress his face.

"Go straight?"

The Candlelight God beneath him asked in Whispers.

"You don't know the way either?" Li Hao asked in surprise.

I don't remember it.

"You have no recollection of anything Beyond the Border Liang Prefecture?"

"I have no recollection of Liang Prefecture either."

"..."

Li Hao was slightly speechless. It seemed that Senior Yun Ge had indeed completely erased their memories.

If this ruler of the Great Void Realm were to meet his old comrades, he might not even remember them.

Do you remember the Great Void Realm?

"A little."

"How much is one point?"

"All I remember is that there was a mountain there, and many little demons on the mountain were afraid of me."

"..."

Li Hao nodded. He had heard that the Great Void Realm had been living in seclusion for a thousand years. It seemed that the things left by being rooted in the world for a thousand years still left some traces.

"Since we don't know the way, let's just go straight. We'll cross mountains and eventually return to Great Yu," Li Hao said.

On his way back, he encountered some Demon, and occasionally Evening Primrose would discover rare and precious Divine Medicine and go to collect them. This constant activity caused him to deviate from his original route.

When they went to look for it again, they found they were lost.

The Great Wasteland Heaven Miasma filled with miasma, and the terrain was similar. Li Hao himself was not particularly good at directions (he had no sense of direction), but fortunately, he used his Dao Domain to break through the miasma, aimed at the direction, and used the most straightforward method, going straight, and eventually made it out.

Now, we must resort to this straightforward old method again and continue to walk in a straight line.

Once Li Hao enters the Great Yu, he can find out the location by asking someone.

After all, he had seen the Topographical Map the Nineteen Provinces, which was a secret even within the Divine General Residence. It was only because the old man was easygoing that he allowed a child to look through it.

However, although they got lost, the several days of wandering were not entirely fruitless.

Besides traveling, Li Hao would use his rest time to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Power to heal the Candlelight God and Madam Yin, helping them recover their cultivation. This also attracted many Demons to spy on him.

These were like mosquitoes attracted by a fishy smell. Li Hao naturally didn't miss any of them and killed them all. He then used his Spirit Offering True Devil Art to condense their Demon Blood and transfer it to Evening Primrose.

The Essence Blood of these Demon King no longer has much effect on Li Hao.

His physical body has now been refined to an unimaginable degree, seemingly reaching a bottleneck. Unless he uses some kind of extreme super tempering method, it will be difficult to improve further.

Evening Primrose's original body already possessed the ability to absorb blood and convert it into nutrients. Now, she hasn't lost this signature skill. With Li Hao's help and the rare and precious Divine Medicine she collected along the way, Evening Primrose's strength has also increased by leaps and bounds. Her cultivation level has progressed from the Dao Heart Realm of this blood body to the Defying Fate Realm.

Furthermore, its body is condensed and extremely tough, reaching a strength comparable to Five-Forged Divine Weapon.

Even among those in the same realm, the physical bodies of the Dragon Clan might not be as strong as hers.

The wind howled as the Candlelight God carried Li Hao on his back, galloping over tens of thousands of miles, flying over Mountain Peak shrouded in Demon.

These Demon, sensing the Aura of the Great Demon King of Candlelight God, were terrified and hurriedly bowed their heads.

Along the way, Li Hao casually slammed down any Mountain Peak where Aura of Human Race remained, also wiping out the Demon on them.

As for the other demons that feed on Demon or Demon that cultivate the Heaven and Earth Energy to purify themselves and live in seclusion, Li Hao ignored them.

As he continued forward, Li Hao gradually saw Battle Flag and tattered armor hanging on tree branches on some of the Mountain Peak along the way. He knew that he was about to return to Great Yu.

Now, returning to the martial world, he has no sword in his hand, nor does he need Side Sword.

The Heaven and Earth and earth, grass and trees, can all be transformed into the sharpest Sword Qi in his hand, cutting down everything.

"The Xia Family..."

Li Hao spotted a tattered Battle Flag on a Mountain Peak, with words fluttering on it. His gaze flickered; it seemed he had arrived in the Earthly Territory guarded by the Xia Family.

Not long after, upon seeing some villages scattered along the Frontier, Li Hao immediately instructed the Candlelight God to use his Demon transformation technique, changing his original Fire Lion- dragon tail form into an ordinary-looking Maned Horse.

Otherwise, if one rides the Demon King into the territory, it would be too arrogant, and one would instantly become a giant monkey being watched by onlookers.

Then, under the cover of night, they landed in a deserted wasteland. Soon, a young man rode out on horseback, stepping from the wilderness onto the Official Road, and galloped all the way to a Townships.

There weren't even any Magic Array in the Townships, so it was impossible to detect Demon sneaking in. However, Li Hao noticed that there were some Demon-Suppressing Talismans hanging on the doors and windows of every household.

Li Hao glanced at them and immediately noticed that they were all low-level Demon-Suppressing Talisman. If ordinary minor demons got close, they would burn and turn into Red Light that would track the Demon.

But for Great Demon, it could be blown away with a single breath, rendering it useless.

The Townships was rather simple, but at night, it was brightly lit, and the sounds of opera and drums could be heard coming from the center of the town, creating a lively atmosphere.

Children carrying lanterns chased and played along the way, running towards the town.

Li Hao swept his Divine Sense across the Townships and saw that in addition to the yamen (government office) where cases were handled, there was also a Demon Suppression Division with a dilapidated plaque. However, the entrance to the Demon Suppression Division.

This is perhaps what they mean by "small but perfectly formed".

The Demon Suppression Division was deserted. Only two or three of the Demon Suppression Division's investigators were there, their clothes unbuttoned, which was quite in line with the simple and casual style of Townships.

Li Hao smiled slightly, took out the corpse of a Demon he had hunted along the way from the Heaven and Earth Space, and sent Object Manipulation to the simple storeroom of the Demon Suppression Division under the cover of night. Then he found a silver box under a locked bed and took out a few ingots of silver from it.

It can be considered a form of barter.

They should be able to get a good reward if they hand over that Demon's head.

As the silver ingots flew back to Li Hao's hand in the night, he found a deserted alley and had the Candlelight God transform into a young man. However, unlike when he had chased Li Hao before, when his whole body was burning with Divine Flame and his aura was powerful and eye-catching, this time he concealed his Aura and hid his Divine Radiance.

Despite this, the cold-faced Candlelight God still gives off a very intimidating vibe.

Standing in this simple and rustic Townships, its unique character makes it extremely eye-catching.

Li Hao led him to an inn and asked the waiter to prepare two sets of clothes for him and book a room.

Even now, the clothes Li Hao wears are still Divine Garment he constructed with his power, only they have lost their brilliance and appear somewhat ordinary.

He planned to rest a bit tonight, find out the route, and then set off back to Heaven's Gate Pass tomorrow.

"Sir, are you also going to Liyang City to reinforce the city?"

The waiter was extremely polite, even somewhat respectful.

He could tell that Li Hao had an extraordinary aura, which had nothing to do with his clothes, but purely from his eyes and presence.

Adding to the scene Candlelight God behind Li Hao, whose calm gaze made it impossible to look directly at him.

Although Li Hao and the Candlelight God tried to conceal themselves, they were still quite conspicuous.

"Liyang City?"

Li Hao's mind raced, and he immediately realized that he was in the Xia Family's Earthly Territory.

This is the headquarters of the Xia Family in You Province.

It's not far from Liang Prefecture.

"Reinforcements for Liyang City? Is there Demon invasion there?"

Li Hao asked, somewhat surprised.

The major states guarded by the headquarters of the Five Divine General Residences are generally the most stable and prosperous, heavily guarded, and Demon dare not invade them.

"You do not know?"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, but still said kindly, "Sir, judging from your accent, you're not from You Province, are you? If you're here for sightseeing, you'd better leave quickly, as You Province has been quite turbulent lately."

"Oh?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. "Tell me in detail."

Soon, Li Hao learned about the recent situation in You Province from the waiter. Liyang City was a dangerous pass in You Province, located on the Frontier, and was now frequently attacked by Demon.

Besides Liyang City, several other cities on the Frontier You Province were also attacked by Demon, causing widespread panic.

This town is some distance from Liyang City. Some young men from the Aristocratic Clan, having heard of the war in You Province, came here together to slay demons, hoping to make a name for themselves and gain Merit and Fame.

"It seems that the battle in Liang Prefecture was just an appetizer for these Demons. Are they planning to break with the Great Yu Dynasty and fight to the death?"

Li Hao frowned, vaguely sensing a storm of Demon brewing, approaching the entire Great Yu Dynasty.

He then asked the waiter about the situation in Liang Prefecture.
