Chapter 23: The Ghostly Fog Rises

  Kuroki Mountain Wolf Demon is one of the most powerful demon forces in the Four Symbol City area, and has always been at odds with Seikyou Ridge.

  Their way of doing things is also different from Qingqiu Ridge, which belongs to the human faction. Shuixi Niangniang is the leader of this generation of Qingqiu Ridge, teaching fox girls to read Confucian classics and Buddhist scriptures, learning human etiquette, and she is also friends with human heroes, such as Leng Dashi and Chengleng Monk, etc., it can be said that Qingqiu Ridge can be directly regarded as a force of the human faction.

  The Blackwood Mountain Wolf Demons are different, however. They are cruel and bloodthirsty, and to this day they still retain the tradition of periodically descending from the mountains to hunt. This hunting is not about going into the forest to kill some wild beasts, but rather to plunder humans, referring to humans as "two-legged sheep". To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Four Symbol City has Cold Master and General Liu, high-level cultivators who guard the city, the wolf demons of Blackwood Mountain would have already taken all the people in this city.

  However, the wolf demons and the Four Symbol City are not on good terms, so they naturally have little contact with each other. Under normal circumstances, the wolf demons of Blackwood Mountain would never set foot in the Four Symbol City. If they did, even if they didn't do anything, as soon as they were discovered, they would be killed by the warriors of the Four Symbol City without any reason or explanation. It's just like how humans who accidentally enter Blackwood Mountain have no chance of survival either.

  It's precisely for this reason that Langya appeared in Siling City, and he definitely didn't come here to idle around.

  Meng Xuan and Hei Mù Shān had no grudges against each other, so their purpose for coming here was very clear.

  It is said that Qingqiu Ridge has produced a genius like Qingmu, and Heimushan has always been wary of her. She had long wanted to kill her and eliminate future troubles, but unfortunately, she couldn't get the opportunity. Now, the only one who can make them take the risk of entering Sifang City is Qingmu alone.

  It seems that although Qingmu followed Meng Xuan into the city without revealing a single hint, it still got known by someone.

  Although there is no evidence yet, Meng Xuan also knew that it must be the Xiao family who did this.

  It's not the time to consider this matter, when Meng Xuan appeared on the roof, the black wood wolf demon hiding in the dark also discovered him. The two sides' auras collided, and the killing intent was palpable. It seemed that the next moment would be a fierce battle.

  "Aoki, help me take care of my family, don't let the wolf demon hurt them, can you do it?"

  Meng Xuan gently rubbed Qingmu's head and gave a warm instruction.

  "Big brother, I want to kill those wolf demons with you..."

  Aoki lifted her small face, and under the moonlight, her white face showed a rare hint of stubbornness.

  "Listen, you're still young and not ready to fight the enemy yet. Besides, I've protected your family, so I can let go of this battle!" Meng Xuan said with a slightly heavier tone, leaving no room for doubt. He knew that Qingmu was extremely talented, but after all, he was still young and had no experience in fighting people, while those wolf demons were bloodthirsty and cruel, it would be too perilous to let Qingmu fight them.

  Another point is that Meng Xuan doesn't want his family to be harmed by the wolf demon, so someone must protect them. It can't be that he protects his family himself but lets Qingmu take action!

  After listening to Meng Xuan's words, Qingmu felt a bit wronged and nodded lightly, then jumped down from the roof without making a sound.

  Meng Xuan felt the killing intent around him growing more intense, and his own battle spirit was also stirred up. He raised his voice and said: "Friends from Black Wood Mountain, since you've come all this way, why hide in the shadows? Why not come into the manor and have a cup of tea instead?"

  His voice carried far and wide, but it was intended to startle some people into coming to his aid.

  Whether it's Leng Daoshi or Liu Dajiangjun, neither of them will stand idly by after discovering the wolf demon has entered the city.

  "Hey, you young man's words are pleasant to hear, but unfortunately we're not friends, and coming here isn't for drinking tea. If you have hot blood, I can offer you a drink..." A hoarse voice sounded from the darkness, and a figure wearing tattered black robes appeared on the rooftop not far away. He wore a hood, his face was unclear, only a pair of piercing eyes could be seen.

  "We have plenty of hot blood, but unfortunately Meng has a bit of a petty streak and isn't willing to give it away for free. If you want some, you'll have to prove your worth!"

  Meng Xuan raised his long sword and pointed it at the person from a distance, smiling slightly.

  "Hmph, I've long heard that there's a guy in Siling City who entered the immortal sect, but was kicked out because of his poor qualifications. But unexpectedly, although his qualifications are somewhat useless, his demeanor is quite good. Who knows if this hot-blooded person who has been cultivating in the immortal sect for seven years will be more refreshing to drink than an ordinary person..." The black shadow sneered and raised its hand high up.

  "I can guarantee you this, it will definitely taste better than others..."

  Meng Xuan sneered, his fighting spirit boiling over, and he spoke boldly in the face of danger, not losing any momentum.

  "Just try it and you'll know..." The black shadow's hand suddenly swung down.

  Suddenly, Meng Xuan suddenly felt a cool breeze behind his head, and in an instant, he turned around and slashed out with one sword.

  Behind him, a wolf-headed monster suddenly appeared, its sharp claws gleaming in the dim light as it swiped at his head, and if he hadn't woken up in time, half of his brain would have been gone.

  "Slap"

  His sword struck out and collided with the wolf monster's claws, sparks flying everywhere.

  Meng Xuan drew his sword, and with it came all his cultivation. An ordinary longsword glowed faintly, its edge like a divine weapon, and it left a deep gash on his claw, which was harder than gold or iron. With a "pu" sound, one of his fingers flew off.

  The wolf demon's face changed greatly, and it retreated in pain, instantly disappearing into a clump of black fog, leaving no trace.

  It wasn't until then that Meng Xuan noticed that a thick black fog had somehow enveloped the entire Meng manor.

  Black fog and wolf demon are of the same origin. After the wolf demon hid in the black fog, its aura disappeared, and not a shadow could be seen.

  Only a brutal and ominous aura enveloped from all sides.

  The wolf demon just now was taking advantage of the black fog to cover itself and quietly approached him.

  "The abandoned son of the immortal sect still has some skills..."

  The black shadow on the roof sneered coldly. Meng Xuan couldn't help but dodge the attack under his hand, and counterattacked with a sword, somewhat beyond his expectations.

  "But I think Kuroki Mountain is somewhat overrated..."

  Meng Xuan sneered: "Only dare to hide in the dark fog and pretend to be mysterious, but don't dare to come out and have a fair fight?"

  "A grand and just war...... Heh heh, if it were any other time, we wouldn't have a chance, but today, we're here to take lives......"

  Heiying said, suddenly raised a bone stick in his hand and gently waved it in the air.

  The faint black fog suddenly changed and rolled towards Meng Xuan's seat.

  "Whoosh...whoosh..."

  In the dark fog, two extremely ferocious wolf demons suddenly appeared, extremely viciously attacking Meng Xuan from front and back.

  "Get down!"

  Meng Xuan took a deep breath of true energy, and in an instant, his aura burst forth, the long sword in his hand radiating light that almost illuminated the night sky.

  He first forced open the wolf demon in front of him with one sword, and then directly stabbed the wolf demon behind him. The wolf demon jumped up to avoid the sword, and then spat a bloody and smelly blood towards Meng Xuan. However, Meng Xuan had been studying at the immortal gate for seven years and was not a complete failure. Although he was not a stunning talent, his foundation in swordsmanship was quite solid.

  Seeing this bloody mouth, he dodged to one side with a wonderful movement and swung his sword in a slanting motion.

  "Roar......"

  The wolf demon suddenly felt a chill under its ribs and hastily retreated, only to see that a sword wound about one foot long had already appeared on its belly.

  Although he was the best of Hei Mu Shan, his cultivation was obviously inferior to Meng Xuan's. Whether it was reaction or attack speed, he was no match for Meng Xuan. After receiving this blow, he immediately jumped back, wanting to jump into the black fog and escape again. However, Meng Xuan seized the initiative in one step, and the subsequent attacks followed continuously, with each sword faster than the last, not giving him any chance to escape.

  "Whoosh...whoosh..."

  At this moment, the dark fog flashed, and suddenly two more black shadows rushed out, straight to Meng Xuan, wanting to save the wolf demon.

  "How many beasts are hidden in this dark fog..."

  Meng Xuan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his true energy surging within him. His long sword flashed like lightning, blocking the attacks of three wolf demons.

  "Bang bang bang bang......"

  In an instant, Meng Xuan had already exchanged countless blows with the three wolves, and for a moment they were evenly matched.

  He held an ordinary long sword in his hand, and after infusing it with his true energy, its sharpness was not inferior to that of a divine sword. Even this group of wolf demons, who were thick-skinned and tough, did not dare to withstand this sword head-on, and had to be careful in their response, or else they would suffer the fate of being torn limb from limb.

  "What's the noise? What happened?"

  "Look quickly at the rooftop, Second Master is fighting with someone, hurry and go help..."

  Just then, the servants in Meng's house were also startled and rushed over, chattering incessantly, wanting to come up and help.

  "Nobody is allowed to approach, all gather in the hall, protect the old master!"

  Meng Xuan loudly shouted orders at the household servants.

  "Heh heh, all of you kids, take action! Kill every living thing in this mansion, don't let a single one escape..."

  The black shadow on the roof laughed and gave an order, waving its bony staff. The dark fog that covered the sky immediately descended into the courtyard. The servants of the Meng family were suddenly attacked by the dark fog and couldn't help but be shocked. However, whether they wanted to escape or resist, anyone who was enveloped by the black fog would be taken away instantly. In almost an instant, four servants were taken away by the black fog.

  "Ah..."

  Several mournful cries echoed through the air, and after a while, several pieces of broken limbs fell from the black fog.
