Troops at the Great Ruin

"Oh no! A vast expanse of terrifying demonic Demon Qi has appeared from beyond the realm!"

"It seems an army of Demon Race is attacking!"

The sentinels responsible for monitoring the void of space sent back a message, and the entire Great Ruin Realm was immediately in an uproar!

The people were terrified.

The Yun family of Zhongzhou and the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty have now joined forces.

"Based on the monitoring data... this attacker is extremely powerful."

Yun Yinchen's expression was extremely solemn. Now, he had stepped into the Heavenly God realm, and his aura was extremely powerful.

However, even though he sensed the Demon Qi emanating from beyond the realm...

I was also terrified!

Among the millions of Demon Race, there are definitely Demon Lord level... or even stronger!

During this period, the strength of cultivators in the Great Ruin Realm experienced an explosive growth, with wandering gods and true gods constantly appearing, and several even reaching the Heavenly God Realm.

But compared to the vast army of Demon Race from beyond the realm... they are still too weak.

Even a single demon lord from the Demon Race army could wipe out the entire Great Ruin Realm.

"I'll go and report to Senior Li!"

Mu Wanqing immediately spoke up.

Now.

In Small Mountain Village, in Small Courtyard.

"I wonder if Long Zixuan and the others have found any rare animals yet..."

Li Fan held Little White and reached out to Little White its belly; the kitten seemed to enjoy it...

He thought the cat felt nice to touch, so he would pet it whenever he had free time.

"We're almost done eating the loach meat..."

Meanwhile, looking at Little White's cat bowl, Li Fan felt somewhat worried.

The main reason is that there are now more people in the Small Courtyard, and the small animals have grown up and their appetites have increased significantly.

Even the landlord's family has run out of surplus grain!

The little wolf could eat three large bowls of loach meat in one meal. Now it's a half-grown wolf, well-fed and with a shiny white coat, and it's as tall as a person's knee.

The little Kirin hasn't grown much, but it has a big appetite, eating both meat and vegetables. It seems it will eat and drink anything delicious...

Lu Rang's little golden ox and Ziling's white horse both eat grass, but fortunately Lu Rang, a grass-planting fanatic, ensured that the ox and horse had enough to eat.

The things that gave Li Fan the least trouble were Dugu Yuqing's little red bird and Jiang Li's turtle.

The little red bird spends its days with the free-range chickens, pecking at Corn, wheat, and other grains.

The turtle was even easier to raise; it could survive on soil alone, which surprised Li Fan. Moreover, the turtle's shell became shiny and its body grew larger by eating only soil.

When Jiang Li n't playing chess, the tortoise would slowly crawl around the yard, occasionally stealing bits of soil from the roots of the peach tree...

Li Fan sighed softly as he surveyed the Small Courtyard. Life was becoming increasingly difficult.

There's not much to worry about regarding food, since there's plenty of land to cultivate and there's no shortage.

The main thing is the meat...

We can't supply it!

He glanced at the flock of chickens with a hint of resentment.

But before he could even form an idea, Yunxi and Ziling had already turned to look at him.

"Great Devil King... you can't eat chicken!"

Yunxi spoke.

She has a wide range of interests. Besides occasionally learning chess and Go from Li Fan, she also practices various skills with other disciples in the Small Courtyard.

She's currently learning to paint with Ziling.

Li Fan sighed softly and turned his head away.

Chicken... I really can't eat it now.

This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous... They won't let us eat the chickens we raised with all our hard work!

As for the fish... Li Fan simply couldn't be bothered to look at them. Anyway, these disciples wouldn't let him touch them...

However, we still need to find a way to improve our lives.

Yeah, we need to plant more land next year, more potatoes and such, the yield will be higher!

While we're at it, let's expand our livestock farming a bit more—raise more chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep—so we can have meat for every meal.

The disciples in the Small Courtyard can all be put to use!

In this way, the family should have enough to eat and drink, and their basic needs for food and clothing will be met!

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he was a poor man's child who had to learn to be independent early!

Fate is so unfair! In this life, I'm not only a useless cultivator, but I haven't even experienced the luxurious life of a wealthy man...

Fortunately, I have a good mindset and have already found contentment and happiness in my ordinary life. Otherwise, if it were any other time traveler, they probably would have committed suicide by slitting their throats long ago.

Is Senior Li here?

At that moment, Mu Wanqing's voice rang out from outside.

"Yes, come in."

Li Fan spoke.

Immediately, Mu Wanqing pushed open the door and entered.

"It's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

Li Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing said:

"Reporting to Senior, everything is fine... The Great Ruin Realm has been changing rapidly lately, and the environment has become excellent!"

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of excitement. The Heavenly Dao Origin Qi directly benefited the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, and now she had already stepped into the Heavenly God realm...

All of this is because of Senior Li.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but nod. Sure enough, Wood Spirit Village had escaped this impoverished wasteland, and life had improved considerably!

People thrive when they move, but trees die when they're moved.

Once I reach the Golden Core Realm... I must take my disciples out to see the outside world and let them witness the wonders of cultivators!

"Senior, Wanqing has come to report to you..."

Mu Wanqing went straight to the point, saying:

"Outside, there are many birds and beasts that intend to attack us..."

She spoke cautiously.

Originally, she wanted to say there was a terrifying army of Demon Race...

However, upon entering the Small Courtyard, one sees free-range chickens, carp... and even ants in the yard...

She felt... that Demon Race army was less than ants!

Using terms like "large army" or "powerful beings" to describe those Demon Race in front of someone like Senior Li... makes one seem so petty!

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was immediately overjoyed. Birds and beasts?

Isn't that perfect!

I'm currently worrying about making meat myself.

Hunting! We must hunt!

"Hey... Yuqing, all of you, let's go hunting!"

He spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and the others were overjoyed.

Hunting... that means a feast is about to begin.

"Yes, Master!"

Immediately, the disciples started packing their things!

But looking at the things his disciples were packing... Li Fan was almost speechless.

It goes without saying that Nan Feng would carry her zither and Ziling would bring her paintbrush; for girls, going hunting is like a picnic, and he didn't expect that.

But Dugu Yuqing only carries a broken pen, Qing Chen is busy carrying a broom... Jiang Li only brings a tortoise...

Is this how you hunt?!

He couldn't help but speak up to remind them:

"Qing Chen, stop grabbing your broken broom and take the fire poker with you. It's good for chasing prey."

"Jiuzheng, stop grabbing the talismans. I'm not asking you to go fight ghosts... Bring a rope or something, so you can tie up your prey."

"Jiang Li, go and bring your master's bow and arrows!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen, Lin Jiuzheng, and Jiang Li all looked at Li Fan, as if they instantly understood something.

"Master must have a deeper meaning in asking us to bring these things!"

Qing Chen turned around and went to find a fire poker.

Lin Jiuzheng went into the woodshed, found a bundle of hemp rope, and hung it on his shoulder.

Jiang Li to the study, where Li Fan's bow and arrows were hanging on the wall.

However, when Jiang Li touched the bow and arrow, he felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and he was drenched in sweat!

No, this bow... I can't use it myself.

Forget it, it's too unfair to the demon to take this... Jiang Li finally drew an arrow from his quiver and left.

"Master, let's go!"

Ziling and the others immediately spoke up to say goodbye to Li Fan.

"Go ahead, it doesn't matter how many hits you get, just be careful."

Li Fan gave instructions.

Judging from the way these disciples looked, he felt... this hunting trip was going to be risky.

However, young people always need to experience some challenges!

Let them make a fuss...

"Come on, I'll take you to the field to see the wheat."

Li Fan picked up the kitten and went outside.

And at this moment.

The allied forces of the Demon Race stretch across the Star River!

Their forces have already reached outside the Great Ruins Star Wheel.

In the cold, empty universe, a massive army of Demon Race, with their warships, fluttering demon banners and soaring Demon Qi energy, created a truly magnificent sight.

"Brother Mingcheng, have you grasped the true nature of the Great Ruin Realm?"

On a main warship, the Demon Lord Peng Tianxia solemnly asked Xue Mingcheng a question.

Many Demon Race are somewhat wary of this realm.

After all, Wu Dade and the other "Great-Devourer Demon Race" originated from this realm...

Xue Mingcheng smiled slightly and said:

"Certainly."

"In that realm, the highest being should not exceed a true god."

"Don't be frightened by those dog demons and the like; they just happen to have some fortuitous opportunity."

"This mere Great Ruin Realm is something you and I could destroy with a flick of our fingers!"

He remained calm.

Upon hearing this, Peng Tianxia nodded in agreement.

"The ants of this generation have emerged."

At this moment, a message came from the warship at the very front.

The entire Demon Race army looked over, only to see a lone warship sailing out from within the Great Ruin Realm.

On the warship, there were only a few hundred people at a glance.

The group at the head of the group consisted of young men and women whose attire looked rather strange.

There were girls carrying guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), monks carrying brooms... all sorts of people.

Accompanying this group of young men and women were various small animals, including little red birds, turtles, and cows...

Etc.

I went out drinking today, guys, I'm drunk. I'll try my best to write the other chapter, you guys rest first...

I'm going to throw up first.
