A great war had erupted on the border between the human race and the Demon Race. Their armies had been locked in a standoff for months, and no one knew when it would end.
Within the Great Zhou Kingdom, countless hidden Demon Race agents had infiltrated the imperial capital, and tensions had risen to an extreme.
A mountain hollow a hundred li from Southern Heaven City was known as the Burial Ground. It was the site of an ancient evil sect, and the deathly Qi there was so terrifying that any mortal who came near would go mad. Thus, no one ever came.
But at some unknown point, cultivators had appeared in that desolate place, and their presence was exceptionally powerful.
Figures emerged one after another, seemingly sensing something. Each fell to their knees and bowed to the silver moon in the sky.
"Blessed by the Moon God, the silver wolves shall never perish. The Wolf God returns..."
They all knelt in worship, chanting under their breath.
The next moment, a figure shrouded in a black robe walked step by step out of the void toward the ruins, as though emerging from within the silver moon.
It was as though the Moon God's son had descended. At first, the figure was tiny, like a black speck, but with every step, his body grew larger. The instant he landed in the ruins, he tore apart the black robe covering him and transformed into an enormous silver wolf with a terrifying presence. A pair of silver wings had even grown on the giant wolf's back.
Riiiiip!
They all began to transform, their robes tearing apart as they became silver wolves with terrifying presences. Every one of them prostrated themselves, heads buried deep against their chests, not daring to look directly at him in a show of submission. At the same time, they spoke in human voices: "We pay our respects to the Wolf God!"
The Wolf God was the Sun and Moon Realm expert who had sent his clansmen to Southern Heaven Academy to assassinate Wang Lin five years ago. The other wolves were wolf demons of the Silver Wolf Clan who had escaped when the human race hunted them down.
The most dangerous place was the safest.
After bringing his surviving clansmen here, that Sun and Moon Realm expert had gone to inherit the Wolf God's legacy. Today, five years later, silver wings had grown from his back, and he had completed the inheritance, becoming the new generation's Wolf God.
"Awooo..."
The Wolf God threw back his head and howled. The heavenly wolf howled at the moon, full of rage.
A blood-red eye appeared on the Wolf God's forehead, sinister and terrifying, like a crimson crescent moon.
"Congratulations on inheriting the Wolf God's position and mastering the Wolf God Blood Moon Divine Eye. The human race must perish." The eyes of the Wolf Race members prostrated on the ground were filled with excitement.
"After passing through countless dangers, I finally completed the Wolf God's inheritance. My cultivation advanced another step, and I reached the peak of the ninth level of the Sun and Moon Realm. Have you accomplished what I instructed you to do before I left?" Lang Yue's gaze fell on the Wolf Race members prostrated before him.
Hearing this, the demons hurriedly said, "Wolf God, we have not failed you. We cultivated diligently every day, sparing no resources, and our strength has all improved."
"Good!"
Wolf God Lang Yue nodded in satisfaction.
If he wanted revenge, he could not rely on himself alone. When demons gathered firewood, the flames rose high; there was strength in numbers.
Lang Yue took stock of them. Many of the demon wolves who had formerly been at Cloudbreach had entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, while the others in the Mountain and Sea Realm had also made progress.
"The Demon Race and the human race have recently gone to war and are locked in a standoff. Countless demons have infiltrated the Great Zhou Kingdom's imperial capital, and the kingdom's forces are tied down. This is our chance for revenge, a chance that comes once in a thousand years. The time to wash away our humiliation has come. This time, we will offer up Southern Heaven City in a blood sacrifice and avenge our fallen companions." Lang Yue's demonic eyes were bloodshot.
An utterly terrifying presence erupted from him. Lang Yue was supremely confident, certain that no one could defeat him.
"Blend into Southern Heaven City and spread the word everywhere. Three days from now, I will storm the city, destroy Southern Heaven Academy first, then slaughter everyone in Southern Heaven City. Go!" Lang Yue was supremely confident in his own strength.
"Yes!"
The wolf demons assumed human form and left the place without a sound, heading for Southern Heaven City.
"Martial Uncle, can you still bear it?"
Outside Myriad Text Academy, Tiezhu had come on time, as he had unfailingly done for ten years. Today, he had brought wine and meat, and he asked with a smile.
Over the years, Tiezhu had matured considerably. Muscles bulged all over his body, and his Qi and blood surged like those of an unparalleled ferocious beast. Grinning, he poured a mouthful of wine into his own mouth.
"I'm managing. It's just a little lonely. If someone could send in a few beauties, it would be perfect," Su Xiuyi said with a laugh from behind the door as he drank.
"Martial Uncle, today the two of us must drink our fill and not leave until we're drunk," Tiezhu said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
"Tiezhu, you little bastard, are you hiding something from your martial uncle?" Su Xiuyi paused and asked with a frown.
"Martial Uncle, did you know? For the past two days, all of Southern Heaven City has been buzzing. They say the leader of the Silver Wolf Clan has returned and intends to destroy Southern Heaven Academy to avenge his clan. It's happening tomorrow night. The academy has already spread an inescapable net and is waiting for him to come. Grandmaster died because of the Silver Wolf Clan, so I've already joined in, ready to do my part," Tiezhu said expectantly.
"Shut up! You little bastard, stay put. Since he's coming for revenge, he must be extremely powerful. Just do your job as a commander. Why are you blindly sticking your nose into this? You've only just entered Cloudbreach. The human and Demon Races are at war now, and many experts are tied down. If he dares openly announce his revenge, you can imagine how strong he is. If you want revenge, cultivate hard," Su Xiuyi scolded coldly.
"I..."
"All right, I'll listen to you, Martial Uncle!"
Seeing Su Xiuyi scold him, Tiezhu quickly nodded.
"Remember, go wherever it's safe and stay there. Don't make me see you to your grave," Su Xiuyi warned.
"Martial Uncle, I'll be going, then." Tiezhu smiled helplessly and slowly departed.
That fellow will probably go back for sure. The Silver Wolf Clan? Since you've come, it's time to settle this. Back then, I wanted to storm the Wolf Race's territory and wipe you out myself. I never thought that after barely clinging to life, you would dare show yourselves again. A chilling glint of killing intent appeared at the corner of Su Xiuyi's mouth.
Eliminating the Silver Wolf Clan's remaining forces would also count as avenging Wang Lin.
Su Xiuyi closed his eyes and continued cultivating. The following night, a silver moon hung in the sky. With his Pupil of Void Breaking activated, Su Xiuyi sensed presences appearing one after another. They were the presences of the Wolf Race. Su Xiuyi left a clone behind and vanished, along with the corpse servant in the bronze coffin that had always been there.
"Wolf Race, even if I have to self-destruct today, I'll tear a chunk of flesh from you." Lying hidden in the shadows, Tiezhu wore a fierce expression.
"Tiezhu, won't you even listen to your martial uncle?"
As Tiezhu cautiously surveyed his surroundings, a voice sounded behind him.
"Martial Uncle?"
Tiezhu thought he was hearing things, but the instant he turned around, he saw two figures standing behind him. He had been completely unaware of them, and one of them was Su Xiuyi.
"With your meager strength, aren't you just throwing your life away?"
"If I were a Wolf Race expert, you'd already be dead. Stay behind me tonight and just watch, understand?" Su Xiuyi glared at Tiezhu.
