He was well aware that on the other side of Cuiwei Ridge lay the territory of the great demon, but they had no choice.
Here, at least, they could benefit from the protection of the Guardian God of Cuiwei Ridge and avoid being eaten by demons and monsters. Leaving here, however, ant an uncertain fate.
That's why he was extrely eager to reclaim Liuyang City, so they could escape this constantly nerve-wracking situation.
Lu Yu, after hearing what An Ranshan had said, had already made up his mind. With no other choices, his next destination was surely Linfeng City located in Tianfeng Province.
In the great mountains, nearly 90% of the demonic beasts from Tianfeng Province and its neighboring provinces lived, with a large number and very dangerous nature.
Even Martial Cultivators in the Core Formation Realm dared not claim they could co and go freely from the great mountains.
In the deep parts of the great mountains, there are no shortages of great demons in the Nascent Soul Realm, and there are even legends that so have seen traces of phoenixes and dragons deep within.
Lu Yu was not overly concerned about the dangers within the great mountains, as long as he did not venture too close to the core area, he would generally not encounter danger.
To traverse the great mountains was not truly to "pass through," but rely to travel through part of the area within the great mountains.
From Liuyang City to Linfeng City, a re 1200 li distance, one could tell.
The great mountains were vast beyond asure, spanning thousands of miles, so a distance of only 1200 li could not possibly lead one into the depths of the great mountains.
After making his decision, Lu Yu looked at the slightly dejected An Ranshan. He hesitated a mont before saying, "When I passed by Liuyang City, I saw a strong person kill all the demons and monsters within. Now, Liuyang City should be empty."
An Ranshan was stunned by what he heard, "What did you say?"
An Ranshan's eyes went blank, sowhat unable to accept this suddenly good news.
Before the words even settled, and without giving An Ranshan ti to recover, two people rushed into the room—a man and a woman—staring at Lu Yu, their faces grave.
"Young man, you can't make such statents lightly. What kind of strong person could kill the entire city of demons?" the middle-aged man said.
The woman, with a serious expression, said, "I escaped from Liuyang City. I saw with my own eyes, the City Lord in Core Formation Realm was killed by demons, and even the Divine Soldiers were broken."
"Such powerful demons, so many demons, without the court's army, how could they be exterminated? Even if the court's army intervened, it would likely suffer heavy casualties to regain Liuyang City."
"You're saying one person wiped out all the demons in Liuyang City; you're talking nonsense." the woman concluded.
Lu Yu didn't care at all about their doubts.
Ants say humans can't lift stones. Would a human purposely lift a stone just to prove it to ants?
Lu Yu directly ignored them. Upon seeing Lu Yu's attitude, the two felt sowhat uncomfortable, just as they were about to speak.
Outside the village, a strong demonic aura approached rapidly in the sky. The two exchanged glances, eyes filled with panic, seemingly communicating whether they should leave.
An Ranshan felt the demonic aura that blanketed the sky and returned to reality from Lu Yu's words, realizing that compared to the possibly demon-free Liuyang City, the current life-and-death crisis was more important.
He walked out of the room, with the man and woman following him. Lu Yu sat silently in the room, wanting to see how this village lived under the eyes of a group of demons.
An Ranshan did not ask Lu Yu to help repel the incoming monsters, as he had said earlier that he rely passed by Liuyang City and saw a strong person wipe out the city's demons. He himself was not that strong person.
Lu Yu sat inside the room, yet he could clearly see the entire village. Everything here was within his perception, with nothing hidden.
The few Qi Cultivation stage Martial Cultivators who thought they hid well were exceptionally conspicuous in his perception.
Just as he prepared to see what treasures An Ranshan might take out to fend off the incoming monsters, a strange aura emanated from the mountain peak behind the village.
It sowhat resembled demonic aura, yet sowhat resembled Spiritual Qi, as if it was Spiritual Qi that had not fully shed its demonic aura, or, perhaps, it was the gentle aura of a young demon just entering the path of cultivation.
Having consud many humans, the demonic nature would grow stronger.
Even without consuming humans, most monsters would naturally see their demonic nature grow over ti, overpowering their slowly increasing spiritual nature.
Dozens of monsters of various sizes erged from the forest, with trees collapsing under their bodies.
The demonic cloud in the sky dispersed, revealing a mighty-eyed tiger.
This tiger's body was more than ten ters long, with a majestic "king" on its forehead, constantly emanating pressure. At the village's entrance, An Ranshan found it hard to look directly at the tiger in the sky.
Undoubtedly, this was a Tiger Demon in the Demon Core stage, not sothing An Ranshan and his people could resist.
Not to ntion the leading Tiger Demon, even the little demons surrounding the village were too much for them to handle.
Although there were no demonic creatures in the Demon Spirit stage among the little demons, there were many in the Demonic Aura stage. Any one of them could easily sweep through this temporary village.
However, at this mont, they all stayed outside the village, not advancing further.
The demonic presence emanating from the Tiger Demon did not seem to affect the villagers inside, with only An Ranshan at the village entrance sensing the much-diminished presence.
Yet even so, he found it hard to lift his head.
Just as the Tiger Demon was about to make a move, a scholarly figure with a jade face appeared before it, helplessly saying, "Tiger Brother, do not commit further killings. Shed your demonic nature and cultivate your spiritual nature, for only then can you go farther on the path of cultivation."
