Xiao Bai frowned and asked.
"The stories I told you before all happened more than ten days later, so there are some details I didn't tell you."
Li Yao offered an explanation.
Actually, this also involves some plot points from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 2, which Li Yao couldn't explain clearly.
For example, the Ice and Fire Cave in Mount Emei appeared in the game Legend of Sword and Fairy 2.
During their seclusion in the Ice and Fire Cave of Mount Emei, Jiang Qing and Yue Rouxia carved their respective martial arts moves on the ice wall.
Later, Wang Xiaohu's master, the Divine Eye Demon Blade Sheng Zunwu, discovered the martial arts on the ice wall and mastered the Demon Blade martial arts.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
"Who exactly is the woman beside Jiang Qing?"
Xiao Bai asked curiously.
Li Yao said, "She is the Demon Lord's daughter!"
"She's the Demon Lord's daughter?!"
Xiao Bai's eyes widened as she asked, "Then why didn't you keep her here to find out about the Demon Lord?"
"No need to trouble them!"
Li Yao smiled and said, "The reason why the villagers here got sick should be because of the Demon Lord. Although I don't know why the Demon Lord would do this, one thing is certain: the Demon Lord is definitely nearby."
As he spoke, he pointed his right hand into the air, and a flash of light appeared.
With a whoosh, a giant bird, entirely orange-yellow in color, suddenly appeared in the sky.
It is indeed a yellow bird!
"Let's go, let's search the area!"
Li Yao leaped into the air, a flash of golden light, and instantly landed on the back of the yellow bird.
"Wait for me!"
Xiao Bai also leaped up, and with a flash of golden light, appeared behind Li Yao in the blink of an eye.
"What a huge bird!"
"That's amazing!"
"They are truly gods descended to earth!"
May the gods protect us!
"..."
A group of villagers knelt down again, kowtowing repeatedly to Li Yao and Xiao Bai in the sky.
...
"The scenery at Wuhua Mountain is quite beautiful!"
Xiao Bai looked down at Wuhua Mountain and sighed.
At this moment, she is high above, taking in the entire scenery of Wuhua Mountain.
A mountain range stretches endlessly, rising and falling nine times until a peak pierces the clouds, suddenly opening up like a jade screen. Its veins split into five branches, exhaling the five beautiful energies, hence the name "Wuhua" (Five Splendors). It has been a scenic spot since ancient times.
"It is quite beautiful, but it's a pity that this place has been occupied by the Demon Lord, and demonic energy is overflowing. Such a beautiful Wuhua Mountain has been ruined like this."
Li Yao shook his head slightly.
In fact, he had no prejudice against demons.
He will not kill demons as long as they do not harm humans and live in peace with them.
However, if demons harm humans and poison the people, he will not ignore them once he sees them.
Of course, sometimes, some people discriminate against demons, viewing them as monstrous threats, and even harming demons that do not intend to harm humans without distinguishing right from wrong. That is wrong of these people.
The reason why humans hate demons so much is not only because some demons do indeed wreak havoc on humankind, but also largely because of the deliberate propaganda of the gods.
The gods constantly instilled in humanity the seductive ideas that "demons are all evil," "demons are extremely ferocious," and "demons will definitely harm humanity."
The gods' goal is quite clear: to pit humans against demons and monsters, so that the gods can better control these three races and maintain their dominance.
Unfortunately, the goddess Nuwa, who created humankind, has long since perished and can no longer witness her people being manipulated by the gods.
"Husband, look! It looks like people are fighting over there!"
Xiao Bai suddenly pointed to a forest in the distance and called out.
"Yes, I saw it too!"
Li Yao nodded.
He could already sense the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from ahead.
Clearly, neither side in the fight is weak.
"Little Yellow, fly over there quickly!"
Li Yao patted the yellow bird on the back.
The yellow bird let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and flew off toward the direction of the fierce battle.
Soon, the yellow bird led Li Yao and Xiao Bai to the location of the fight.
In the air below, a middle-aged man and a young man were wielding two immortal swords, fighting against more than a dozen ferocious demons.
The two sides were evenly matched and fought fiercely without end.
Li Yao noticed that several orbs of light had fallen from the bodies of both the middle-aged man and the young man.
He immediately scanned the area and picked up all the orbs of light.
Spiritual energy +58!
Divine Soul +41!
...
Sword Control Technique *1!
Sword Qi Slash *1!
Sword God *1!
...
Uh... they are all sword techniques and martial arts from the Shu Mountain Sect.
Therefore, both of these people should be from the Shu Mountain Sect.
At that moment, the middle-aged and young people below all noticed the giant bird in the sky.
The young man's expression changed drastically. While fighting the demons, he exclaimed in alarm, "Senior brother, this is bad! It seems they've got a helper!"
Because the yellow bird was so large, he didn't see that there were two people sitting on it.
He thought the yellow bird was also a demon, otherwise, how could there be such a huge bird in the world?
In the moment he was distracted, an eagle demon with wings on its back flapped its wings and two sharp beams of energy struck him, causing him to spit out blood and fly back several dozen feet.
"Junior brother, don't get distracted!"
The middle-aged man shouted, his expression solemn, and quickly unleashed a sword beam, repelling the eagle demon.
On the back of the yellow bird, Li Yao and Xiao Bai could see the battle unfolding below.
Xiao Bai asked, "Should we lend a hand?"
"help?"
Li Yao chuckled softly and asked, "Whose help are we doing?"
Chapter 465 Dugu Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal
Seeing two members of the Shu Mountain Sect fighting a group of demons, Li Yao showed no intention of helping the Shu Mountain side.
The main reason is that he doesn't have a good impression of the Shu Mountain Sect.
The Shu Mountain Sect appears to be the leader of the righteous path in the world and the number one immortal cultivation sect in the world today.
However, the despicable things that the high-ranking members of the Shu Mountain Sect did behind the scenes are not known to outsiders.
Moreover, the Shu Mountain Sect has always fawned over the gods, with the ultimate goal of cultivating to become an immortal, receiving a title from the gods, and becoming a member of the gods.
Therefore, while the Shushan Sect appears to act for the sake of all living beings, in reality, it prioritizes the interests of the divine race.
Li Yao even strongly suspected that the Shu Mountain Sect might be controlled by the gods behind the scenes.
Of course, this is just Li Yao's speculation, and there is no real evidence to support it.
Li Yao neither helped the Shu Mountain side nor the demon side.
However, his arrival and Xiaobai's arrival immediately changed the course of the battle.
Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand, and the two members of the Shu Mountain Sect even had a slight advantage.
However, one of the younger disciples of Shu Mountain was distracted by the yellow bird that Li Yao was riding and was successfully ambushed by an eagle demon.
The Shu Mountain disciple was injured, greatly weakening his combat power, and the battle situation immediately changed.
Another older man, while casting the Myriad Swords Technique, shouted to his junior brother, "Junior brother, run!"
The Myriad Swords Technique was indeed powerful; a single flying sword transformed into countless sword beams, creating a rain of swords with extraordinary power.
However, the demons were not to be underestimated, as they unleashed a variety of magical artifacts that shimmered with various lights.
In an instant, demonic energy surged, forming a vast demonic energy domain that was all-encompassing and unpredictable in its power, gradually suppressing the sword light of the Myriad Swords Technique.
"Senior brother, I'm not leaving!"
"We'll go together!"
The young man was a loyal and righteous person, and he refused to abandon his fellow disciples and escape alone.
