The Calamity Begins

As Elder Yang watched Qin Hao and the others leave, he turned and walked slowly towards the Ghost Nest.

"There are more and more ghostly creatures. Is the great calamity about to descend?"

Elder Yang reached the entrance of the Ghost Nest, his expression troubled.

He then formed a hand seal and unleashed a talisman, sealing the entire cave entrance.

After completing this, his figure slowly vanished from the spot.

Not long after Elder Yang left, several figures approached the direction of the Ghost Nest.

"Damn it! What happened here!"

"Boss! Hurry! The cave entrance is sealed."

Hearing the calls, a figure quickly arrived at the cave entrance.

"Boss, the cave entrance is sealed. What should we do? The mission failed. Will we be punished by our superiors?"

The person trembled, speaking fearfully.

"It seems a troublesome fellow from the Heavenly Dragon Guard has arrived this time."

"Judging by the scene here, a great battle must have occurred. The sealed elder here should also have been dealt with."

The person leading them said.

"Then what do we do, boss? The mission failed, we..."

"Did we fail? Didn't we break the seal? What does the rest have to do with us!"

The leader stated calmly.

"Let's go. Let's check the situation in other places."

With that, the group quickly left the valley.

Meanwhile

In a certain underground cave in Qingcheng County.

"Hmm? Why has Wuya's aura disappeared?"

A massive and ugly, giant creature in the cave exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing this, the others present also felt surprised and quickly probed for Gui Wuya's aura.

"It's true! How could this be?"

"Could he have been discovered and eliminated?"

"Eliminated by someone? How is that possible? How could there be someone stronger than Gui Wuya in this desolate place!"

At this moment, a fleshy, ball-like creature suddenly spoke.

"No need to probe. I've received news. Gui Wuya was eliminated by humans."

"How? Gui Wuya isn't weak! I haven't received any news of any Heavenly Dragon Guard of Earthly level or higher coming here."

"Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Guard discovered our clan's plan?"

"Impossible. Our clan's grand plan, apart from us survivors, how could humans possibly know!"

"Could it be those humans who exposed us! I've always said these humans are unreliable! Hiss~ Hiss!"

"Why must we rely on those useless humans!"

"That was the decision from above. What's the point of you shouting here? After all these years, you still only know how to bark, Li Hu."

"Heh heh~"

"Hahaha, Li Hu, you're being mocked. Ho ho ho ho~"

"Have you just been unsealed? Are you tired of living, Li Shang? If you're tired of living, I can send you on your way."

The tall man called Li Hu's eyes glowed with a scarlet light as he glared at the person who had just taunted him.

"Come on then! Hiss~"

With that, both of them revealed their sharp claws, looking at each other like hungry tigers.

"Heh heh, they're about to fight!"

"Heh heh heh heh! I bet Li Hu will bite off Li Shang's head."

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

The others on the side watched the spectacle, their eyes all emitting a faint green glow.

"Enough! What kind of behavior is this!"

An elder whose appearance could not be discerned spoke from the shadows, scolding the two.

Upon hearing this person's words, both Li Hu and Li Shang extinguished their anger. They looked at each other unwillingly and sat back down.

"Alright, it probably wasn't intentional. It was likely a misunderstanding. We just need to complete our mission."

"It won't be long before my kin descend upon this world once more, kkkkkk."

Meanwhile.

"Captain, there hasn't been any sound from the valley for a long time. Has the battle ended?"

"I wonder how the results turned out, if Qin Hao and the others won or lost."

Gao Hu observed the situation in the valley for a long time before looking at Zhong Li Dao and asking.

"Come on, that was a Ghost Spirit! How could Qin Hao possibly win?"

Zhang Xiang, standing nearby, said with a worried frown, his head lowered.

Zhong Li Dao, standing beside them, didn't reply. He simply sat there quietly, gazing in the direction of the valley, lost in thought.

Just then, he seemed to notice something, his eyes widening.

"They're here!"

Upon hearing their captain's words, Zhang Xiang, Yang Jie, Gao Hu, and the others all looked toward the valley.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared before them.

It was Qin Hao and Bai Ling.

"Hi! Captain! We're back!"

Bai Ling also spotted Zhong Li Dao and the others and waved and shouted.

"Captain, look, it's Bai Ling and Qin Hao."

Yang Jie and the others shouted happily upon seeing Qin Hao and the others!

Soon, Qin Hao and Bai Ling arrived at Zhong Li Dao's location.

"Hahaha, I knew you'd be alright, you rascal!"

Gao Hu walked forward happily, patting Qin Hao on the shoulder and saying.

"Hahaha, you're amazing, kid. You survived that."

"It seems I underestimated you. You're fine? You must be a monster."

Zhang Xiang and the others also stepped forward, looking at Qin Hao.

At this moment, Zhong Li Dao also walked over, limping, and looked at Qin Hao.

He felt a bit guilty. Qin Hao had only just joined, not even officially, and he had already taken him on such a dangerous mission.

Moreover, they were saved by Qin Hao. He didn't know how to face him.

"Thank you, Qin Hao. If it weren't for you, we..."

"Don't say that. Aren't I part of the Heavenly Dragon Guard? Isn't demon-slaying our duty!"

"Kid, are you injured?"

Zhong Li Dao shook his head helplessly when Qin Hao said that.

"Heh heh, I'm okay. I'm strong, no major issues."

Saying that, Qin Hao patted his own body.

"Indeed. You don't look like a teenager at all. You look older than me!"

"Kid, are you sure you're not a demonic beast in disguise? Otherwise, how could you be so strong!"

"I'm truly envious."

Zhang Xiang teased him from the side.

"It's just how I was born."

Qin Hao chuckled, fiddling with his strong arms, while Bai Ling swung back and forth on Qin Hao's arm.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Li Dao finally relaxed. At least his team had no casualties.
