Chapter 462: Chapter 365: Heavenly Dog Chases the Moon, Small Dog Searches the Mountain (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
“Thud”
“Thud”
“Thud”
The sky darkens as Qingshan County lies beyond the city, endless snow covers the mountains, turning them white, while atop the city wall, a city gate pavilion with flying eaves stands covered in wind and snow.
At this mont, footsteps sound below the tower, and a guard clad in white light armor shouts with the sound,
“The hour has arrived!”
“It’s ti to close the city gates!”
As the voice falls, a response quickly follows, “Sound the drums.”
Soon after,
“Dong”
“Dong”
“Dong”
“….”
The low drumbeats echo within the city gate tower, wandering with the wind and snow, resonating inside and outside the city wall.
The evening drum signifies the advent of dusk, the imminent closure of the gates, and the end of a laborious day, a ti for the people to rest.
As the drum sound resonates, the heavy city gates close with a creaking sound under the push of several guards, and the streets quickly beco empty and cold, with only the lights of thousands of hos gradually lighting up inside and outside the city.
It is night!
In Jiazi Lane, within the small bamboo courtyard, under the eaves, a pair of pale golden pupils gaze upwards, observing the dark sky where the wind and snow pervade, revealing not a single star.
“Rise!”
He moves beneath, his figure soaring into the sky, clothes billowing, darting high above, arriving over the center of Qingshan County.
Following closely, Chen Yuan raises a hand and grabs downward, from a thousand ters beneath Qingshan County, a large bronze seal vibrates, disappears from underground, and in the next mont appears above Chen Yuan’s head, dozens of ters large, with green light greatly increasing.
Below are inscriptions inlaid with gold, “Right King, Left Jian Nan. The valiant armored, commanded by heavens, dare act upon it.”
The inscription roughly ans this seal was granted by the emperor to the Demon Suppression General of Jiannan Road, to exercise military power, as ordained by the heavens.
Chen Yuan then followed suit today for the purpose of suppressing the Demon Gu, using the big seal to enforce the imperial decree.
He pinches a sword finger over his brow, where a third eye slowly opens, then with a pinch a golden light erges from the fingertips, the sword finger becos a brush, writing in the air with swift and deft strokes.
Writing fluidly and seamlessly, he flicks his sleeve, the densely packed golden characters in the air rge into the bronze seal above his head, floating and sinking uncertainly.
The bronze seal suddenly whirls around, buzzing with increasing vigor, a breeze spontaneously forms surrounding it, quickly enlarging into a wind vortex.
And the wind and snow around, as if transford by the spring rain, quickly lt away, turning into droplets of water falling down.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan lifts his hand and sends the seal directly into the thick clouds to stir up the wind and clouds. Soon, he sees the night sky above him ripple with slanting wind and drizzle, while the snow diminishes, the change swiftly radiates outward.
Chen Yuan’s eyes flash with golden light, patiently waiting, he can clearly perceive the thick clouds above blown away by the breeze raised by the bronze seal.
About thirty minutes later, the drizzle gradually stops, only a few stray snowflakes fall, and the pitch-black night sky slowly reveals a dusky blue hue.
Sudenly, a beam of heavenly light falls!
Only to see the eastern sky, where a moonstring peeks out from the clouds.
Upon witnessing this scene, divine light flares in Chen Yuan’s eyes, and at this mont, a shadow beneath him rushes upwards, reaching Chen Yuan’s side within a few breaths.
A pair of eerie green demon eyes gaze at the moon above, showing expressions eager to try.
It’s the Heavenly Dog!
“Awo, master, I’m about to comnce!”
The Heavenly Dog lets out an awo, then charges towards the moonstring above. Bathed in moonlight, the demon reveals its fierce true form, forty feet tall, with green demon eyes quickly turning a ghostly white, and its black fur swiftly whitening.
At this mont, the moon gradually moves out from the clouds, the Heavenly Dog, dashing relentlessly, transforms into a white light in the moonlight, then zooms straight towards the moon disk erging from the clouds, vanishing into the moon shadow.
This process lasts about ten breaths of ti.
Soon,
“Awoo”
A loud and distant howl resonates.
The clouds completely unveil, a black canine silhouette stands atop the high moon disk in the sky, howling at the heavens.
With a roar, from within the Moon Disk, beams of white Yuehua rained down, falling around Qingshan County, coalescing into white mystical hounds, numbering in the hundreds.
As these white mystical hounds erged, a black fla flickered in their eyes, revealing a twisted figure with a silver mask.
“Woof”
The noses of these Yuehua-conjured Demon Dogs twitched wildly before transforming into beams of white light, dashing through streets and alleys, scaling walls, and even burrowing into the earth.
Soon, the white stream of light ford by these Demon Dogs spread swiftly in all directions around Qingshan County.
High above, Chen Yuan’s eyes glimred with golden Divine Light, turning into dots of gold, his gaze following the white streams of light as he surveyed the surroundings.
Half a cup of tea ti passed, and the movents of these Demon Dogs had spread throughout Qingshan County, yet they found nothing unusual, uncovering no anomalies.
“The Human Demon isn’t in Qingshan County?”
Chen Yuan realized this instantly. Could it be that the Demon Gu he suppressed scared it away?
Soon after, the voice of the Heavenly Dog echoed in his ear, “Master, my Divine Skill hasn’t detected any presence, the target isn’t in the city.”
Chen Yuan’s gaze turned cold as he barked, “Go to Langdang Mountain!”
“Understood!”
The Heavenly Dog responded hoarsely, then let out a howl, “Heavenly Dog chasing the Moon!”
A howl echoed in the sky, and the Moon Wheel, hidden mostly behind clouds, suddenly shimred intensely, scattering the shrouding clouds.
Then, astonishingly, the bright moon seed to “move,” breaking free of the clouds, flying over Qingshan County, heading towards the surrounding mountains as Yuehua illuminated the land beneath.
A black Heavenly Dog walked in step with the Moon Wheel, patrolling the heavens!
Seeing this, Chen Yuan flickered into a dazzling beam of golden light, traversing alone under the moon.
Thus, one man and one dog flew out of Qingshan County, and within the city, the celestial commotion had already roused the citizens.
The wind stopped, the snow ceased, and the townspeople saw a moon fly away over their Qingshan County, hearing the barking throughout the city, leaving them in awe.
Outside the city, as the Heavenly Dog chased the moon and the mystical hounds searched the hills, Chen Yuan followed behind, surveying the Langdang Mountain Territory. About thirty minutes later, a hundred miles away from the city,
“Woof woof woof”
Suddenly, eager barks erupted from the mountain forest below.
In the northwest direction, a few white Demon Dogs’ noses twitched as they barked towards that direction.
“Master, the trail of that person has been found, about sixty miles to the northwest!”
The Heavenly Dog’s animated voice rang out.
Following this, one could see the Demon Dogs in the mountains sensing the signal and collectively charging toward the northwest in a wedge formation.
Simultaneously, a dark figure descended from the moon in the sky, landing beside Chen Yuan, while the moon completed its “mission,” imrsing once more into the clouds.
“Lead the way!” Chen Yuan’s spirit lifted, with fierce light flickering in his eyes.
After much effort, they had finally found traces of the Human Demon.
The blood inside him surged like Rivers, barely suppressing the murderous intent within.
The northwest direction was just right; his troops should be waiting outside Langdang Mountain for the next command; he already sensed the position of his Contracted Demon, stationary over two hundred miles away.
Who knows what the Human Demon was planning? If it was only that Human Demon from Chengsheng Land, Chen Yuan would not allow a second escape this ti. However, rembering what the Li Family’s Martial Storage said at the Demon Suppression Tower, Chen Yuan decided to be cautious.
With this in mind, he focused and triggered several illuminated points, sending his voice out.
“Relay my command, advance the troops into Langdang Mountain!”
After that, Chen Yuan’s consciousness returned, watching the Heavenly Dog leading the way, shooting off with his feet.
anwhile, to the northwest, seventy miles away, in the Langdang Mountain Territory, amidst a range of pillar-like mountain peaks piercing the sky, lay a deep valley over a hundred zhang deep.
At this mont, above the valley, a massive Yin Yang Fish spanning several miles slowly swam, covering the expanse above the valley.
Below, on the rock walls surrounding the valley, were seventy-two enormous pure black Array Flags embedded, flapping vigorously in the wind and snow, bringing forth gusts of eerie wind, ghostly howls echoing.
Packed densely, innurable souls drifting above the valley could be seen, filling the air with wailing cries, demonic in sound, resonating within the valley, dominating the senses.
Directly below the Yin Yang Fish, in the center, was a pit seemingly blasted into the ground, about twenty zhang in diater, a crimson expanse, steeped in the scent of blood.
A Blood Pool erged!
Beside the Blood Pool, the Human Demon from Chengsheng Land was standing, holding a small jade bottle, pouring it into the Blood Pool, its contents gushing forth like a fountain of blood, pouring inside.
The small bottle, though only about a chi high, seed to have infinite blood within, filled with dense Blood Essence.
The scent of human blood was unmistakable from it!
