Chapter 6043 Benefactor
“The defense is too tight; it’s impossible for us to break through,” Ming Li frowned.
After observing for a moment, he pointed to an inconspicuous mountain peak on the left side of Heavenly Demon Valley: “There, the formation has a weak point. Moreover, there is a gap of three breaths between patrols. We can sneak in within those three breaths.”
Upon closer inspection, Ming Li did indeed find that the light from the antenna array near the mountaintop was dimmer than elsewhere, and the patrol teams passed by at slightly longer intervals.
“Mr. Chen has a keen eye,” Ming Li said admiringly.
Both of them waited patiently until nightfall.
With the night dark and the wind blowing, it was the perfect time to sneak in.
As the patrol team passed the mountain again and turned to leave, moving.
“Walk!”
He let out a low shout, and his figure turned into a nearly invisible gray shadow, darting towards the formation’s weak point! Ming Li followed closely.
Three breaths happened in the blink of an eye.
Like ghosts, the two of them managed to pass through the sealing line and enter the Heavenly Demon Valley before the light of the array reappeared.
Upon entering the Heavenly Devil Valley, the atmosphere changed suddenly.
The gloomy and tense silence outside was broken, replaced by a tragic and tense atmosphere.
The valley was filled with tents and makeshift fortifications, and wounded demons were everywhere, their groans, cries, and curses filling the air.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine and blood.
Many demon warriors leaned tiredly against the rocks to rest, their eyes filled with despair and numbness.
Every now and then, a demon general would pass by, loudly cheering on morale, but to little effect.
The sudden appearance of Ming Li immediately caused a stir.
“Who passed by there?!”
“Enemy attack!”
“Protect the general!”
Dozens of demon soldiers quickly surrounded them. Although all of them were injured, their gazes were sharp, and their weapons were pointed at the two men.
“Don’t be nervous, we are not gods.”
He said calmly, releasing a faint aura of chaos. That ancient and vast aura shocked the surrounding demon soldiers.
“Who are you? How did you get in?”
A one-eyed wolf demon stepped forward from the crowd, staring warily.
“We are here to help you.”
said directly, “Take us to see your leader.”
The wolf demon sneered, “Help? Just the two of you? Who knows, maybe you’re spies sent by the gods! Capture them!”
The demon soldiers were about to move.
Just then, an old and tired voice rang out: “Stop.”
The crowd parted, and an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, slowly walked over.
He hadn’t completely transformed; he still had a pair of horns on his head, and his body was covered in bandages in many places. He was weak, but his eyes were incredibly clear.
“Old Deer!” The wolf demon general bowed hurriedly.
The old man, known as Elder Deer, studied Ming Li intently, staring for a few more seconds. A glimmer of surprise flashed across his eyes: “The aura emanating from this fellow Daoist… is truly strange. In my eight thousand years of life, I have never seen such a primordial and ancient power.”
Heart pounding; this old deer demon had extraordinary eyesight.
“My name is , and this is my friend, Ming Li. We come from the Burial God Mountains to seek out the demon race resistance forces and fight against the gods together.”
said calmly.
“Crossing the Burial God Mountains?”
A glint of light flashed across Elder Lu’s eyes. “That’s a deadly place. Even a fifth-level Immortal has no chance of surviving. You two must be extremely powerful to have made it here.”
He paused for a moment, then said, “However, how could the two of you possibly fight against tens of thousands of Divine Race troops? Not to mention that His Majesty the Demon Suppressor is also there to oversee everything.”
smiled faintly: “Having more people doesn’t always make a difference. I myself once beheaded five Venerables from the Hall of Divine Punishment.”
The room fell silent after hearing that.
All the demons stared with wide eyes in disbelief.
The Five Venerables of the Hall of Divine Punishment!
They were the supreme rulers of the Divine Race in the Eastern Region, each of them a top-tier expert at the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm!
Killed by one person?
“What…what did you say?” Old Lu’s voice trembled.
“I said, the five Venerables of the Eastern Region Divine Punishment Hall—Xuanbing, Chiyan, Qingmu, Houtu, and Gengjin—have all died by my hands.”
The tone of voice was calm, yet contained undeniable confidence: “Right now, the entire Thirteen Heavens are chasing me.”
He raised his hand, and a gray sword light appeared in his palm. The aura of destruction contained in the sword light made all the demons tremble in their souls.
Old Master Lu stared at the sword light for a long time, then took a deep breath and slowly knelt down: “This old man, Lu Ming, pays homage to my benefactor!”
Although the other demons did not understand the reason, they all knelt down when they saw Elder Lu kneeling.
surprised: “What does Elder Lu mean by this?”
Old Deer cried uncontrollably: “Oh my benefactor, you are unaware of the truth! The five Venerables of the Divine Punishment Hall have their hands stained with the blood of our demon race!”
“For hundreds of years, countless fellow demons have had their souls extracted and refined by them, leaving no trace of their bodies behind! Our protectors have slain them, avenging the bloody feud that has raged among our demon race! Please accept my deepest respects!”
When he spoke, he bowed very deeply.
The other demons then realized what was happening, and their emotions immediately surged with joy:
“So, he is your benefactor!”
“They killed the five Highnesses and avenged us!”
“Our benefactor is up there, please accept our respects!”
quickly helped Elder Lu up: “Please stand up everyone. I have a long-standing grudge against the Divine Race, and killing them is what I should do.”
“The most pressing task now is to discuss how to overcome the current predicament and rescue our trapped demon brothers.”
The Old Deer stood up, wiped his tears, and solemnly said, “My benefactor, please follow me. I will take you to meet our current temporary leader, the Ironback Bear King.”
Under Elder Lu’s guidance, Ming Li and I arrived at the largest campsite located deep within Heavenly Demon Valley.
Inside the tent, a black bear towered, as strong as a mountain, pacing back and forth restlessly.
His transformation was not yet complete; he still had thick black hair on his back, his arms were as thick as pillars, and his aura had reached the peak of the sixth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
However, he suffered several wounds on his body, the deepest of which was a diagonal cut from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, nearly tearing through his torso. Despite being bandaged, blood still seeped out.
He is none other than the Iron-Backed Bear King, who is now the temporary leader of the demon race’s resistance forces.
