Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1039 - 1049: Qingniu Village

"Fly down and take a look!"

Chu Feng pointed downward, and Jin Que immediately carried him, diving downward.

After advancing to the Great Demon of the Fifth Tribulation Realm, Jin Que's power had greatly improved, with flying speed as fast as lightning.

As soon as they landed, Chu Feng saw a horrifying scene.

In the village below, a demon with a snake body and bull head was wantonly slaughtering, devouring ordinary humans' essence blood.

This was merely a demon of the Demon General Level, roughly equivalent to the human Sword God Realm.

To ordinary people, the Demon General Level is an irresistible existence. But in Chu Feng's eyes today, he could annihilate it with a snap of his fingers.

"You fiend, you deserve to die!"

Chu Feng noticed it was about to kill a pregnant woman. Curious enough, a halo of pale red auspicious energy seemed to be around her belly, though he couldn't see it clearly.

Perhaps when Chu Feng cultivates to the Earth Immortal Realm, he can easily discern things unseen by the naked eye.

The difference between mortals and immortals is quite significant.

One sword strike.

Boom!

The rampaging demon general had no ability to resist and was decapitated by Chu Feng with one sword.

With a flick of his fingers, a strand of Nine Yang Strange Fire shot onto the two halves of its demon body. In the blink of an eye, it was burned to ashes.

The black demonic energy that enveloped the entire village also dispersed completely.

The pregnant woman narrowly escaped death and discovered she was saved by Chu Feng. She ignored her heavily pregnant state, kneeling and bowing to him.

"Thank you hero for your great kindness in saving my life! This woman, Qi Family, will never forget your grace!"

Others in the village also kneeled to Chu Feng, expressing gratitude for his life-saving kindness.

At that moment, the woman clutched her belly, collapsed on the ground, and let out a painful scream.

"Qi Family is about to give birth, where's the midwife? Go and help quickly!"

An elder called out sternly. He seemed like the village chief.

Soon, a makeshift tent was set up at the scene, with Hidden Woman inside assisting the woman with childbirth.

Concerned that there might be other demons nearby, Chu Feng didn't leave immediately.

The village had many deaths already. Many people were wailing in grief upon finding the corpses of their relatives.

"Hero, may I ask your esteemed name? Our village fell victim to a demon attack; without you, we'd have been wiped out like other villages." The old village chief approached, bowing deeply to Chu Feng, showing great respect.

This made Chu Feng feel a bit awkward.

After all, the old man was quite advanced in age.

Respecting elders and caring for children has always been a virtue he upholds.

"No need for formality, everyone is human, seeing injustice and helping is the duty of us cultivators." Chu Feng never expected gratitude for his good deeds.

In his view, it was just something he should have done.

"These bodies should be immediately gathered and burned in place. Those who die from having their essence blood sucked by demons can easily turn into corpses. By that time, they will blindly attack their kin and neighbors."

Chu Feng frowned at the bodies' tragic condition.

Having their essence blood sucked dry must be an extremely painful process, filled with terror. Hence, their dying expressions were particularly terrifying.

"Alright, I'll promptly notify the villagers to gather and burn the bodies!"

The elder paused and looked at Chu Feng, "Please inform us of your name, so Qingniu Village can forever remember. This way, we can feel a bit more at ease."

These country folks were very simple and sincere.

They felt indebted to Chu Feng for saving their lives, yet felt ashamed not knowing their benefactor's name.

"Chu Feng!"

With their insistence, Chu Feng couldn't refuse any longer.

He thought it unnecessary for Qingniu Village to repay him anyway.

The elder was elated to learn Chu Feng's name and directed the villagers to gather and burn the bodies.

"Wah, wah..."

Suddenly, the tent resounded with a baby's loud cries. It's certain this little one is a boy.

"Alright, there's nothing left for me here. I should survey the village area one more time and head back quickly." Chu Feng had a bad premonition after encountering demons here.

It's likely that demons are rampaging throughout the Divine Martial Continent.

After sweeping a hundred miles around Qingniu Village, Chu Feng was shocked to find quite a few demons. He slew nearly a hundred demons.

Many villages had turned into ghost towns.

Not a single survivor.

Chu Feng's heart weighed heavily.

Hope those survivors in Youth Village can stay alive, especially that newborn child.

...

Rushing almost at lightning speed to the Imperial City of Divine Baihu Kingdom.

There he found that outside Baihu City, it was overcrowded with refugees flocking from all quarters.

Baihu City, as the Imperial City of Divine Baihu Kingdom, is seen as the safest place by the people. Hence, everyone wished to shelter inside the city, escaping the dreaded demons.

Along the way, Chu Feng encountered many demons.

Initially, he killed every single one he saw, and any group he came across.

Later, realizing the sheer number of demons was overwhelming.

Concerned about wasting too much time, he opted to hurry forward by riding Jin Que.

He wasn't particularly worried about Chang'e and others' safety. His chief concern was Li Shishi, and his brother and sister-in-law.

Judging by the current situation, the entire Divine Martial Continent seems to be under demon rampage.

"Open the gate, let us in!"

"We beg you, please open the city gates, let us inside!"

Thousands, even tens of thousands of weary citizens from far away were crying and begging at the city gates.

But the soldiers on the city walls turned a deaf ear.

The inside of Baihu City was already overcrowded.

Since the outbreak of the Demon Plague, countless refugees flooded in daily. Entering Baihu City.

Eventually, the White Tiger Emperor had to decree temporarily closing the city gates, not allowing more refugees inside.

"I am Chu Feng, this is my Identity Token, please open the gate!" Chu Feng displayed a token gifted by Prince Bai Xiansheng.

Never expecting it to be used one day.

Unexpectedly, he needed it now.

After showing the token, the officer on the city wall saw it and promptly changed his demeanor.

Very soon, a side door of the city gates opened.

The refugees noticed a small gate opened and attempted to surge in but were beaten back by soldiers guarding the gate.

"Didn't know Emperor Chu had arrived, please forgive us! During such extraordinary times, with too many refugees, we can only let you enter through the small gate, hope you understand." The garrison commander knew Chu Feng's identity.

It's no joke, the current Great Chu Empire, although not yet crowned as a Heavenly Country, its strength could rival the combined might of three Heavenly Countries.
