Chapter 12 Wang Sheng

"Demons World?"

"You surely aren't considering infiltrating the Demon World to slay demons and expel evils, are you?"

"Ha ha, that thought is too crazy..."

Li Jing did not answer directly, instead he sighed deeply, appearing lost, and said:

"Alas!"

"Along the way, there have been too few demon beasts, it's not satisfying!"

"If this continues, my longsword will probably rust!"

"Thinking about going to the Demon World, it might be better. After all, that is the main base of the Demon Clan!"

Hearing this, Pang Yong, Pei Rong, and the others all showed a face like they'd seen a ghost.

Going to the Demon World to slaughter demons?

In this world, is there really such a person brave enough to challenge it?

If it weren't for Xiahou Jiang's clear background and clear thinking, they would really suspect that Xiahou Jiang was not a human at all.

His physical body was too strong.

Even more terrifying was that the Demon-slaying Sword in his hands grew stronger with every battle.

This was also why.

Along the way, four or five demon beasts had died by his sword.

Among them were strong creatures like the Sand Scorpion Demon, something that in the past, people wouldn't even dare think about.

However, what surprised them the most!

As the demon beasts were continuously slain, Li Jing seemed to become stronger, his presence alone could overwhelm a large group.

Although they had not verified it, every one of them had this strange feeling.

In fact, it was indeed so.

With the slaying of these demon beasts!

Li Jing gained enough Evolution Points, 'Withering and Flourishing Heart Method' advanced further, going from First Layer to the Second Layer, and the mole between his brows became even more flush.

Evil Qi and compassion intertwined, creating a unique charm.

Pei Rong, from time to time staring blankly, unable to resist being attracted by his charm.

It was precisely because of this, Li Jing appeared even more mysterious in everyone's eyes.

Pang Yong could not help but shake his head and wryly smile as he said:

"Xiahou, the Worthy!"

"This is an unavoidable situation."

"The Human Race has its own domains!"

"The Demon Clan also has its own laws!"

"It is said that within the Demon World there are also cities, states, and officials similar to the Human Race; most of the Demon Clan are constrained there."

"Without the orders of a Demon King or Queen, they can't possibly leave."

"Only a few from the Demon Clan, as well as demon beasts without Spiritual Wisdom, can come and go freely."

"Therefore, although there are members of the Demon Clan in the desert, their numbers are not too many."

"Mostly, they are unintelligent demon beasts!"

"Along the way, you've killed four or five in one go, ensuring that my caravan won't be harassed for half a year."

Listening to Pang Yong's explanation, the people nearby nodded continuously. Their eyes revealed a color of heart palpitations.

This Xiahou Worthy is perhaps too brutal!

In their hearts, if not a comrade-in-arms, Li Jing seemed a hundred times more fearsome than any demon beast encountered along the way.

However, some eyes were fervent.

A powerful being, no matter where they go, will receive the world's respect.

Hearing Pang Yong's explanation, Li Jing shook his head helplessly, feeling somewhat regretful, but also understanding that the days of leisurely leveling up by fighting monsters along the way were about to end. He only hoped that Jiangdu would not disappoint him.

Jiangdu, after all, is the largest Human Race settlement within a thousand miles.

Having seen the original movie, he naturally understood that Jiangdu, as Pei Rong described, was not so peaceful.

Many of the Demon Clan had already infiltrated through various means.

Moreover, there was one person in Jiangdu in who he was extremely interested.

And that was Wang Sheng!

In the movie 'Painted Skin', Wang Sheng is undoubtedly the undisputed male protagonist, with a handsome appearance and a refined demeanor.

Not only did he marry the female lead "Pei Rong".

He also made Pang Yong give up the position of Commander, sadly leaving Jiangdu.

Successful in both career and romance, he is truly a model of a comeback.

The strongest point is!

His charm could even transcend species!

The beautiful fox from the Nine Heavens, Xiao Wei, willingly put on the Painted Skin and even resorted to killing and heart-extraction to maintain all of this.

From this perspective, this Wang Sheng is definitely a person with full-level charm.

In Li Jing's view, just with this alone, he is enough to stand side by side with Xu Hanwen and Ning Caichen, superior among his peers.

But!

At this moment, he hasn't yet married "Pei Rong", nor has he become the Commander; he is just a loser who is always overshadowed by Pang Yong everywhere.

He just doesn't know how his meddlesome interference will bring what kinds of changes to his life.

Thinking of this, a sense of moderate anticipation surfaced in Li Jing's heart.

...

The camel is truly the ship of the desert.

Only such a remarkably enduring creature can withstand the dry, hot climate of the desert.

Several hours later.

Just as the sun neared the horizon but hadn't completely set, the outline of Jiangdu City became faintly visible.

The men, who had been away from home for a long time, could hardly conceal their excitement, cheering joyfully.

The soldiers on the towering city walls also spotted them through distant observation and timely lit the beacon.

The previously quiet city walls suddenly became bustling.

The wide, heavy city gate was gradually lifted.

"What is this operation?!"

Watching the distant reaction, Li Jing looked up, somewhat surprised.

And Pang Yong, Pei Rong, and others were not surprised by the response from the other side.

"Young hero Xiahou, you aren't very familiar with it."

"The thousand-mile desert has only this one city, Jiangdu."

"And precisely because of this, whether it is the exiled Demon Clan or the sand bandits, they often visit here."

"So, each time we see a caravan."

"The city goes into martial law and interrogates them, and only after confirming that there are no issues, they are allowed to pass through."

Listening to Pang Yong's explanation, Li Jing somewhat understood. Basically, it was a case of being once bitten, twice shy.

It is precisely because of this caution that Jiangdu City has been able to stand for hundreds of years.

While everyone was talking.

The closed city gate opened again.

Several riders rushed out from the drawbridge, led by a General who sported a hair bun and armored attire, looking extremely handsome, somewhat similar to Chen Kun.

"Wang Sheng!"

"Wang Sheng is here to pick us up!"

Seeing the handsome and valiant Wang Sheng, Pei Rong, dressed in fur, suddenly became emotional. Her eyes even filled with indescribable affection.

At this moment, Pang Yong couldn't help feeling a wave of melancholy.

Li Jing's gaze shifted between the faces of Wang Sheng and Pang Yong.

It wasn't that Pang Yong wasn't handsome enough.

It's just that Wang Sheng's demeanor was more exceptional.

Brave yet elegant, such a quality is extremely rare.

Especially for women, Wang Sheng was like a mandrake, possessing an irresistible allure.

It was also because of this deadly charm.

That Pei Rong, and the beautiful fox Xiao Wei, would throw themselves into the flame, one after another.

While Li Jing was comparing them in his mind.

Wang Sheng who was riding and wielding a whip stopped his steed. After nodding his head and exchanging greetings with Pang Yong, all his attention turned to Pei Rong.

Although the two did not speak, both Pang Yong and Li Jing felt the sickeningly sweet vibe.

As Pei Rong's ears turned a bit red, Wang Sheng finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Jing with some surprise, asking, "Who is this gentleman?"
