Chapter 117: 116: Guided by Incense (Third Update) Chapter 117: 116: Guided by Incense (Third Update) Just as the Demon Cult’s army invaded White Emperor City, Elsewhere, in the Demon Tomb, Above a stretch of forests, a roar like an eagle’s cry rang out. “Where do you think you’re going, you damned Human Clan?” A golden thread zipped through the forest, vanishing in a flash, so fast that the air burst into a shrill whistle. In the next second, two shadows swiftly covered the woods, bringing a gale that bent the massive trees, which then sprang back violently. Two beast-like creatures with the shape of eagles but red tails and antlers on their heads, flapped their enormous wings and howled as they pursued the golden light below. Their fierce eagle eyes occasionally shot green beams toward the forest below. As the green light blazed, rocks below scattered, trees shattered, but the golden light weaved like a dragon, avoiding every beam with ease. Just then, the golden light moving through the forest suddenly stopped. A point of frosty brilliance, like a star, burst forth, swelling with the wind, and shot straight toward one of the giant eagles. It was a Big Spear! The two giant eagles screeched in alarm and anger as the cold flash sped towards them. It was this deadly weapon that had, with a surprise attack, shattered the flesh of one of their kin, so swiftly that even their Divine Souls couldn’t escape. Instantly, the single horns on the two Demon Heads simultaneously emitted arm-thick blue Thunder, slashing at the incoming Big Spear. “Clang!” went the loud noise. Thunder crackled along the spear, which trembled but was halted midair. At that moment, a golden figure suddenly burst into the sky and furiously slapped the spear’s handle. The next second, the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear let out a high-pitched cry and exploded the confining Thunders, shattering them entirely. Then, with a “whoosh,” it flashed. One of the giant eagle’s wings was viciously pierced by the spear, tearing it off, along with a large chunk of flesh from the root of the wing, and green blood showered the whole forest. The eagle Demon howled miserably, losing its balance and tumbling down into the forest, smashing through a large swath of trees. At that moment, the golden figure, like a javelin, suddenly shot towards where the giant eagle was falling. “Boom,” A huge crater was smashed into the ground. When the dust cleared, the head of the giant eagle was shattered, and standing on its corpse was a figure. This person was clutching a writhing little eagle engulfed in green light, his hands dripping with blood. Then, he abruptly raised his head, his broken golden pupils staring chillingly at the other eagle still fluttering above. The other great eagle, its pupils now flickering with fear, shrieked sharply and, with a gust of wind, beat its wings to flee far into the distance! Chen Yuan watched the eagle Demon flee, yet did not give chase. He needed to hurry! He immediately glanced at the closest light pillar passage, gold light wrapped around his body, gathered the Divine Soul, and, ignoring the Demon carcass beneath him, darted toward that direction. Chen Yuan was covered in Demon Blood, his body emanating a fierce aura, impatience flashing in his eyes. White Emperor City was in danger! The Demon Cult must have opened the passage. He had been searching for a passage within the closest vicinity, and found one. Not there either! The two Gu Diaos he just encountered were the same ones he ran into in that passage. He used the same method, striking from the shadows to quickly slay one, then lured the other two back. He had thought about turning back, rushing from Qingshan County to White Emperor City, but the distance was too far. By the time he would make it, it would all be too late. Everything he saw and heard told him that this was a carefully staged slaughter trap by the Demon! While rushing on his way, Chen Yuan pondered if there was another method. But it seemed like finding a needle in the ocean. Halfway there, he suddenly felt a burning sensation between his eyebrows. Yet at this time, he wasn’t using his Dharma Eye. His keen intuitions made him halt in his tracks. Then, with a single hand, he wiped his forehead, and the fragmented golden Divine Light in his eyes suddenly coalesced into a point of lacquer gold. Following that, resplendent golden light shot out three feet from his body. And in Chen Yuan’s view, wisps of white vapor were floating in the Nihility Color Realm. It was incense! And it was continually emerging. Chen Yuan’s gaze became intense, and Magic Eye Golden Light drew in three strands of it. The next second, several scenes flickered through his golden pupils like a revolving lantern show. The first scene, from the perspective of a Han man, who seemed to be escaping with his wife and child, the surging crowd squeezed onto the streets, heading outside the city, with a cacophony of noise incessantly in their ears. Then after sending his wife and child out of the city, the man decided to return into the city, going against the current, towards a conscription post at the northern city gate, reporting his own name—Chicken-calling Lane, Yue Dao. The second scene: the dark skies, heavy breathing, the night sky filled with drum beats as urgent as rain, flags flapping wildly atop the city walls, rows of cold armor stood erect on the walls, and from the distant wilderness, the rumbling sound of a black tide approaching the city walls. As the tide drew near, those imprisoned in iron cages were seen, a Zheng-like monster with a human shape dragged a woman out from a cage and then opened its bloody maw, cruelly devouring the woman. Followed by a furious shout—”Damn it, gentlemen, follow me, Old Qin, out of the city, kill!” The third scene: high above in the sky, outside the city walls, atop the dark tide, several shrill wails tore through the air, the figures of four massive Demons clawing and gnashing their teeth in the sky. One missing a claw, a hundred-meter-long Evil Dragon sprawling like a small mountain, a Fire Peacock with bright red feathers and a body wrapped in blazing flames, a White Tiger measuring seventeen to eighteen zhang, with black patterns and white fur, and finally, a gigantic Xuan Turtle with inky green scales and one horn on its head. At that moment, several figures whooshed out from behind the city walls, each confronting one of the four Demons. One wielded a crimson Big Spear, clad in crimson scale armor, battling both the Xuan Turtle and Vermilion Bird alone. Another, with white eyebrows and a wizened face, brandished a pair of Dual Swords with the image of a Dragon and Tiger, fighting against the White Tiger. Lastly, three people, each wielding a black saber, a silver spear, and a golden tile, surrounded the cyan Evil Dragon. Above in the sky, an intense battle erupted instantaneously, with splashes of light flying and the Sky Dome thundering, while on the ground, cries of battle rose from all sides, shaking the entire night sky. Suddenly, in the fiercely fighting skies above, the middle-aged man with white eyebrows, battling with the White Tiger, found the space beneath him flashing with two red lights, striking his body, immediately wrapping him in a bloody glow, rendering him immobile. As the White Tiger pounced, the man frantically defended with his Dual Swords, but in the next second, a sharp claw pierced through his chest. A Demon with the body of a sheep, the face of a human, tiger claws, and a pair of bloody eyes on its double breasts, appeared behind him. “Ah!” The final scene was the Demon opening its jaw wide, biting the middle-aged man with white eyebrows in two. The next second, the scene disappeared! “White Emperor City!” “Four Symbols of Demon Sect!” Chen Yuan let out a hoarse shout, his eyes suddenly blazing. Right after, his body vanished from where he stood. His Magic Eye Golden Light in motion, guided by the incense, he shot towards the direction to his left.
