Chapter 341: Chapter 337: So That’s How It Is
“Right now, everyone is too busy fending for themselves that even the ones who manage to escape didn’t come here, how could anyone come to help? We are extremely fortunate to have received your aid.” Yao Feng spoke without hesitation.
“So, it seems like it’s a matter of fate.” Upon hearing these words, Shen Luo’s facial expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.
While they were speaking, he took a few steps towards Bai Xiaoyun, intending to bring the matter to his attention, but then, the heavy sound of the city gate closing again echoed behind him. All of the Jianye people and monks who had fled the city had already entered Jianmen Pass.
Knowing that something was amiss, Shen Luo instinctively wanted to use his divine soul to inform Bai Xiaoyun through a psychic message.
However, after Bai Xiaoyun entered the city, he hadn’t noticed anything wrong. Shen Luo started to hesitate. Whoever was hiding inside Jianmen Pass must not be ordinary, especially if they were able to disguise their identity right under the nose of Bai Xiaoyun, a late-stage cultivator in the Mahayana realm.
If he rashly used his psychic message, it would most probably alert the enemy. Hence, he had to be cautious.
After hesitating for a moment, he moved forward and unfalteringly called out to Bai Xiaoyun.
Bai Xiaoyun turned to look at him with an inquisitive gaze, while Yao Feng also cast a discreet glance at him.
“With the presence of the sword array and Yao Feng guarding the Jianmen Pass, it seems like quite a safe place. Why don’t we bring Xie Yuxin over as well?” Shen Luo asked Bai Xiaoyun without showing any hint of discomfort on his face.
The year Xie Yuxin betrayed the Bai Family and fled, it had a significant impact on Bai Xiaoyun. Shen Luo believed that using this incident to hint that something was amiss here would surely be understood by Bai Xiaoyun.
As expected, upon hearing Shen Luo’s words, Bai Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment before he responded, “Now that you mention it, I was also considering the same.”
“Xie Yuxin, do you still have friends or relatives who aren’t here yet?” Yao Feng immediately came forward and asked.
“Indeed, we have some friends who are still outside the city. They should be able to reach here by later today.” Shen Luo nodded at Yao Feng.
“If they are your friends, the more the merrier. Both our Sword Pavilion and the people of Jianmen Pass welcome them with open arms.” Yao Feng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.
At that time, Lu Yong also overheard their conversation and came forward, asking curiously, “Elder, I thought everyone was here. Are there others as well?”
Upon hearing this, a surge of nameless anger welled up inside Shen Luo, and he silently cursed, “Useless fool who is more likely to hinder rather than help.”
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyun’s brow furrowed.
Although he didn’t know what Shen Luo had discovered, he believed that he wouldn’t make a baseless claim, thus he became more cautious.
“Hehe, it seems like we do have some wise people among you. There’s no need for me to continue pretending anymore, especially when you’re all trapped here now…” Suddenly, Yao Feng let out a few chuckles and slowly uttered these words.
As his voice echoed, his body started to float in mid-air, gradually rising above everyone’s heads.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luo stepped back a few paces, creating a distance between them.
Without uttering a word, Bai Xiaoyun stood in his place, his hands behind his back. He wore a string of six golden Buddha beads the size of cherries on his wrist. The beads were inscribed with the six true words: “Aum”,”Ma”,”Ni”,”Pad”,”Me”, and “Hum”, from which golden ripples spread out.
The people of Jianye City were confused by the sudden turn of events and looked at each other in panic, not knowing what to do.
“Everyone, retreat to the city gate immediately!”
Shen Luo’s loud command echoed resonantly among the chaotic crowd.
However, apart from the Shen Family who were already at the back of the line and immediately moved towards the city gate, only a few members of the Bai Family followed them and backed away. The rest of the people stood on the spot, bewildered by the situation.
“Once you’ve entered Jianmen Pass today, none of you will be able to leave.” Yao Feng, suspended in the air, shouted angrily.
As his words fell, red and black smoke was seen billowing from his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and other orifices, and in an instant completely enveloped his body. When he reappeared, he was completely changed.

He was now covered in pitch-black ink-like skin, his entire body shrouded in a wide cloak, and a large bamboo hat was worn on his head, making his face barely visible.
The moment Shen Luo saw him, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out,
“Yao Feng… Demon Wind!”
As soon as this name was spoken, all the monks in Jianye City were shocked. The ordinary citizens also felt their hearts seized with fear. For hundreds of years, this name had brought them too much terror.
“How is that possible? Bai Xiaotian clearly died alongside it…” Shen Luo never thought that Demon Wind could still be alive after Bai Xiaotian’s powerful self-destruction.
“It’s Demon Wind, it’s Demon Wind…”
The civilians who had previously witnessed the battle between Demon Wind and Bai Xiaotian were now completely recalling the dreadful scenes of the day Jianye City was breached and were thrown into immense fear.
Meanwhile, the citizens standing on both sides of the passageway started to show black fog flowing through their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. It enveloped them almost instantly.
The skin on their bodies dried up swiftly, their eyes sank into their sockets, their cheekbones protruded prominently, as if all the moisture inside their bodies was drained out within a few moments and turned them into dried up corpses.
As soon as these corpses were formed, each of them emitted an aura of deadly evil that filled the sky. They let out a low, indistinct murmur, and began to pounce on the people of Jianye City.
Seeing this, the citizens of Jianye were panic-stricken and turned white as sheets.
“It’s a demon, help us, run quickly…” Someone yelled out, causing a few hundred others to rush frantically towards the back, trying to escape from the city.
“Don’t panic, monks should guard the surroundings and escort the citizens to the city gate.” Shen Luo’s eyes hardened as he used the Huangting Technique, shouting this command with a loud and resonant voice.
His command was like a roar that boosted everyone’s morale. It indeed calmed the panic and anxiety for a lot of people in the crowd.
The cultivators regained themselves and immediately moved towards either side of the crowd, creating two discontinuous walls of people, with the citizens safeguarded in the middle, moving towards the city gate.
“Ha ha, be afraid, be terrified, the more you fear and panic, the better…”
Demon Wind floated in the air, arms outstretched, while faint layers of black Qi from around the world gathered towards him and flowed into his wide cloak. As this black Qi entered him, he seemed intoxicated, throwing his head back and looking completely lost in euphoria.
Shen Luo didn’t have a clear idea about his cultivation level, but the abundant demonic Aura around him was enough to make him wary.
“Did my brother…did he die at this demon’s hands?” Bai Xiaoyun stared at Demon Wind and asked, word by word.
“To kill him, Bai Xiaotian blew himself up. I don’t know why, but it was unsuccessful.” Shen Luo replied gravely with lowered voice.
“You’re the younger brother of Bai Xiaotian from Jianye City, no wonder I can feel a similar bloodline and aura on you. Both the brothers are useless. You should join me and become spirits under my control.” Demon Wind gave out a vicious laugh and said mockingly.
