Chapter 33 Xu Jianglin
Of course, the Wolf Demon was just boasting. How could such a minor character possibly attend the banquet at Huaguo Mountain? He merely glanced from afar and managed to score a meal. If it weren't for his boss's connections with the Serpent King, he wouldn't even have gotten that meal.
Naturally, within the borders of Great Chen, there weren't many formidable figures, so no one was there to call out his bluff.
After finishing his bold and arrogant proclamation, he charged towards Lu Yu's location. The old fox was naturally not going to miss this entertaining scene and hurriedly called his descendants to follow.
Suddenly, the locals noticed a dark cloud flying across the sky in the distance, faintly carrying a stench of blood. Everyone hid in their homes thinking a thunderstorm was approaching. However, those with knowledge realized it was a Demon's cloud and couldn't help but sigh, "A nation on the brink of collapse must have monsters; who knows whose family will suffer this time!"
The dark cloud didn't stop for even a moment, billowing straight toward Xiao Ke's home and soon arrived in front of the courtyard door.
A gigantic wolf's head emerged from the cloud, commanding with an overpowering presence, "People inside, listen up! Hurry out and meet your death at the hands of this Great King!"
Lu Yu was having a conversation with Xiao Ke and his wife. Hearing the shouting outside, he couldn't help but laugh, "That unwelcomed guest arrives so promptly. Let's go have a look, shall we?"
Xiao Ke was the first to step outside. The sight of the massive wolf's head startled him; he had never seen a demon so up close before. The fox spirits from the Su Family had all transformed into human shapes, and without a close look, one couldn't tell the difference from a human.
The Wolf Demon, upon seeing Xiao Ke emerge, didn't take him seriously. Such a frail Scholar wouldn't even suffice to get stuck between his teeth. However, when he saw the person who came out after, cold sweat instantly drenched his entire body.
Even though he had only watched from a distance, he saw the confrontation between Lu Yu and the Serpent King very clearly. The sword light that pierced the heavens was so terrifying that sometimes he would wake up from dreams in a fright.
Now that this formidable enemy appeared before him, he was so petrified that he didn't know what to do.
"Old Fox, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." Leaving behind this baffling statement, the Wolf Demon turned tail and ran, not daring to linger for a moment.
As the old Fox and his family stood dumbfounded, a sliver of sword light from the Sword of State at Lu Yu's waist cut through the sky, like a shooting star racing towards the Wolf Demon.
This was the encampment of the Great Chen's Black Wolf Army, recently under the command of General Xu Jianglin, a general who rose to prominence in Great Chen.
Entering the general's tent, the Wolf Demon kneeled and said, "General, your subordinate Iron-back greets you!"
A handsome man in a black robe sat upon the main seat, engrossed in a military text. Tall and slim, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent and cruelty starkly contrasting with his delicate facial features. This was General Xu Jianglin, hailed as the pillar of Great Chen in recent years.
Xu Jianglin, looking at the kneeling Wolf Demon, noticed the sword scars on him and waved his hand to dismiss everyone around them.
"What went wrong on your mission?" The mild words felt like thunder to the Wolf Demon, who was acutely aware of the means of his commander.
Hastening to recount everything he had seen and experienced along the way, he especially emphasized how formidable Lu Yu's strength was.
After hearing Iron-back's account, Xu Jianglin fell into deep contemplation, "Dressed as a Scholar, with a sword at his waist. Could it be him?" The incident at Fengjing had spread far and wide; that Scholar, with a simple declaration that 'all myriad beings will fall into calamity,' had forced every cultivator in the Cultivation Realm of Great Chen to descend the mountains and face the calamity.
It remained a terrifying memory.
"Well, I originally planned to borrow the Fox Clan's fortune and destiny, but it's no great loss without it. Have you brought what I asked from the Great Saint?" Xu Jianglin asked the Wolf Demon, his cruel eyes emitting a terrifying red glow.
"I have, I have!" Iron-back quickly took out a Jade Pendant from his bosom, containing a drop of bright red blood.
"Good! With this drop of Serpent Essence Blood, I can better conceal my identity," Xu Jianglin stared fixedly at the Jade Pendant in his hand, his eyes blazing with red light.
At the same time, Lu Yu was bidding farewell to Xiao Ke and his wife. The couple had grown even closer through this calamity, their love as resilient as gold, making Lu Yu, a bachelor, feel rather pitiful. So, disregarding the couple's insistent pleas, he left their home.
He strolled leisurely, walking amidst the mountains with a tranquil and serene demeanor, perceiving the exuberant vitality of Wood Qi between heaven and earth.
