It's truly like a God descending to the mortal realm!

"Treasures, let Daddy tell you a fun story."

Lin Xuan looked at his four daughters with a doting expression.

The wave of demonic beasts tonight felt strange to him.

He had a premonition that this matter might not be simple at all.

So he decided to linger here a while longer, waiting for the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python to quell the chaos below before asking about the situation.

Most importantly, he didn't want the children to witness the slaughter firsthand.

"Okay!"

The four little girls clapped their hands happily, their attention fully on Lin Xuan's story.

At this moment.

Qing Qiu Kingdom.

King Gongsun Ming led fifty thousand elite top-tier warriors, locked in a fierce battle with the demonic beasts.

"Damn it, where did these demonic beasts come from, and why did they suddenly attack Gu's kingdom?"

Gongsun Ming gripped a long sword, his face full of indignation.

His Qing Qiu Kingdom was located beyond the border of North Profound Heaven and Chi Xiao Heaven.

One could say it was a remote, lawless kingdom.

But in the thousands of years since its founding, Qing Qiu Kingdom had never been disturbed by outside forces.

Unexpectedly, tonight, a massive horde of Ninth-Rank Demonic Beasts suddenly appeared.

They rampaged through Qing Qiu's cities like madmen, killing anyone they encountered—utterly brutal to the extreme!

Grand Preceptor Xu Wenzhou said, "Your Majesty, that's a matter for later. Let's kill these demonic beasts first!"

"Alas!" Gongsun Ming sighed mournfully. "Can't you see? We can't hold out much longer!"

Ninth-Rank Demonic Beasts were equivalent to Human Race Ling Lun Jing cultivators.

And there were over a thousand of these beasts before them.

The entire Qing Qiu Kingdom, mustering all its strength, could only field fifty thousand elites below the Tong Xuan Realm.

One Ling Lun Jing could easily handle hundreds of Tong Xuan Realm cultivators, let alone those below.

How could they win?

Xu Wenzhou looked helpless upon hearing this.

Tonight, they were doomed!

Boom!!!

Just as they were at a loss, a massive black shadow descended from the sky, shaking the ground violently.

Gongsun Ming and the others looked up and saw a Nine-Headed Serpent demon, hundreds of zhang tall, appearing in the center of the city.

"Hiss! The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python!"

"Heavens, even such a Great Demon has appeared. Our Qing Qiu Kingdom is about to fall!"

Upon recognizing the true form of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, wails of despair spread through the three armies of Qing Qiu.

A thousand Ninth-Rank Demonic Beasts had already plunged the entire Qing Qiu Kingdom into extreme peril.

Now, a Nine-Headed Heavenly Python Great Demon had appeared out of nowhere—this was... the end of the kingdom!

Just as everyone was in utter despair, they were astonished to see the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python attacking the surrounding demonic beasts.

Its nine heads opened their Blood Basin Mouths, madly devouring every demonic beast in sight.

At the same time, its mouths spat out terrifying flames, burning the beasts to scattered remains.

Soon, the situation completely reversed.

After devouring hundreds of demonic beasts, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python grew even larger, and its killing power surged.

The beasts that tried to flee were quickly caught up by it.

They were either devoured or crushed into pulp by its nine massive serpent tails.

"And we just won like that?" Gongsun Ming felt his brain struggling to keep up.

Xu Wenzhou, meanwhile, was filled with reverence and awe: "Truly a divine beast descended from heaven, saving our Qing Qiu Kingdom from water and fire!"

The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python's towering form, under the moonlight, seemed like a colossal divine beast that had descended from the sky.

At that moment, everyone in Qing Qiu Kingdom wanted to kneel and kowtow to it three times.

In the sky.

A luxurious jade carriage, pulled by four Green Winged Birds, slowly descended.

The treasure aura of the jade carriage brightened the dark sky considerably.

"And who might this be?"

Gongsun Ming and Xu Wenzhou and the others watched the jade carriage nervously.

The battle just now had been too intense, leaving them unable to think for a moment about where this jade carriage had come from.

After the jade carriage landed, Lin Xuan led Xuan Zhu and the others slowly out the door.

Only then did the stunned Xu Wenzhou have a sudden realization.

"It's the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

Gongsun Ming was greatly startled: "Grand Preceptor, how do you recognize the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband?"

Xu Wenzhou analyzed: "This jade carriage is exclusive to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Family, and it's said that the Mysterious Ice Empress has four daughters in total."

"Combined with this young master's appearance like an immortal and extraordinary bearing, who else could it be but the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband?"

"So that's it!" Gongsun Ming was overjoyed.

It seemed that this terrifying Nine-Headed Heavenly Python had been sent down by the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband to save Qing Qiu Kingdom.

Gongsun Ming led Xu Wenzhou as they hurried forward to bow to Lin Xuan:

"Gongsun Ming, King of Qing Qiu Kingdom, and Xu Wenzhou, Grand Preceptor, pay respects to the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python, which had just dominated an entire kingdom, shrank into a palm-sized snake and obediently returned to Lin Xuan's side.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ming and the others were even more awestruck—the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband was truly a divine person!

Lin Xuan nodded in return, then asked: "Why did these demonic beasts suddenly attack Qing Qiu Kingdom?"

Gongsun Ming and Xu Wenzhou exchanged glances: "In reply, Imperial Husband, we do not know either."

Roar!!!

No sooner had the words been spoken than a terrifying Sha Qi exploded from the sky behind Lin Xuan.

A mass of black shadow that blotted out heaven and earth rushed over fiercely under the moonlight.

Everyone looked closely and saw it was a Crimson Whale demonic beast with enormous wings.

Even more terrifying was that within the Crimson Whale's golden pupils flickered three red light rings.

A Third-Order Great Demon!

Gongsun Ming and the others inhaled sharply.

Sensing the Crimson Whale's killing intent, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python quickly reverted to its true form and rushed head-on to meet it.

Boom!!!

The sound of the massive collision shook the entire Qing Qiu Kingdom, causing the ground to tremble.

The Crimson Whale demonic beast was not only higher in rank than the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python but also twice its size.

In such a head-on collision, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was no match for it.

The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was seen crashing rapidly to the ground under the Crimson Whale's charge, smashing everything within three li into chaos.

And after being provoked, the Crimson Whale's temperament grew even more violent and ferocious.

A terrifying Blood Fiend Light coiled around its body as it turned and rushed toward Lin Xuan.

Clearly, it knew who the backbone among the crowd was.

"A Third-Order Great Demon's spiritual intelligence is already equal to a mortal's. It seems that if I want to learn something, I'll have to make a move on it."

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan casually grabbed a long sword from the air.

He walked through the void, stepping in the air as if climbing a heavenly ladder, one step after another ascending into the heights.

Before him stood the Crimson Whale, its killing intent exploding.

Pfft~

A soft sound.

With a sword strike of great skill appearing clumsy, Lin Xuan thrust the blade into the Crimson Whale's chest.

The entire process was free and easy, calm and composed, nothing like a life-or-death battle.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ming and the others couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

The Imperial Husband's move of ancient simplicity was truly like a god descending to earth!

Then they heard the Crimson Whale let out a scream, and its massive black shadow fell from the sky, shaking the entire valley without end.

Lin Xuan followed it down to the ground and ordered the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python to bind the Crimson Whale.

Now, under the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python's coils, the Crimson Whale could neither move nor even breathe with ease.

Lin Xuan sheathed his sword and transmitted his voice to the Crimson Whale through his mind: "Why did you suddenly attack Qing Qiu Kingdom?"

The Crimson Whale's voice trembled as it sounded: "We weren't attacking Qing Qiu Kingdom—we were passing through here to set an ambush outside the border of the Ten Thousand Devil Kingdom!"
