"Uh?"
Li Qian did not open his eyes.
Even with the bell sound of the Chen Bell to defend against it, the illusion formed by the werewolf’s will still disturbed his five senses.
This was the suppressive effect brought about by a higher-tiered will.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been at a definite disadvantage.
But the other party was a demon.
His Qi Blood Holy Realm had an extremely strong interference and restraining effect on demons.
Moreover, within the Qi Blood Holy Realm, he could clearly capture every trace of his opponent.
"Trying to escape?"
Li Qian moved, reaching out to grab as rolling Qi and blood condensed, following through with a punch that he hammered out.
A roaring fist shadow, like a trail of red flames, hissed as it shot towards the werewolf.
"Damn it..."
The werewolf already felt that its demon body was increasingly difficult to control and even affected its speed.
Boom!
With a roar.
Its body was hit by a scorching golden light.
The Demon Armor that had condensed around its body instantly melted, and its demon body also began to rapidly disintegrate.
"No..."
It let out an enraged howl as its potent will spread out.
But it was useless.
It was still within the Qi Blood Holy Realm, and it even felt as if its entire body was burning in pain, including its own will...
Bang!
It shrank to the size of a normal human, and slammed hard into the crumbling stone wall.
Just as it struggled to get up, suddenly a sharp sound rang out.
A piercing sword light shot forth, directly piercing through its head.
Li Qian held the Divine Sword 18 and stirred fiercely, and the werewolf’s head, which had turned into that of a normal human, burst apart like a watermelon, with white and red splattering everywhere...
"I’ve remembered you, I have remembered you..."
An invisible will dispersed like a gentle breeze, and it seemed as if some frantic voice echoed in Li Qian’s ears before disappearing without a trace.
"How exactly do these demons appear?"
Li Qian pulled out Divine Sword 18, its blade still as sleek and unblemished as ever, not stained with any traces.
The demon he had just slain seemed more like it had possessed a human body.
He found nothing strange about this method.
He himself had traversed from Earth, reborn in this body.
The only difference was, after possessing a body, it seemed that the other party could still return.
"If it’s not some special method but a necessary Divine Skill that comes with reaching a certain level of strength, that would be terrifying."
Li Qian murmured to himself.
He didn’t dare to imagine how powerful one must be to project their will across worlds to the Human World, possess a human body, and even demonize it.
It was utterly absurd.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized his own insignificance.
This was only the tip of the iceberg he had encountered; what could the true nature of the world be?
"If I don’t have enough strength, sometimes ignorance is a kind of bliss."
He sighed deeply in his heart.
But he also knew that this world would definitely not be as peaceful as before.
Moreover, he was pondering another question.
With the demons being so powerful, how were they driven out of the Human World?
That is to say, there must be Great Powers behind the Human Clan, protecting the Human World.
Otherwise, the Human World would have long since become hunting grounds for demons.
"Ah, better not think too much. My abilities are limited, why should I worry so much."
Li Qian sighed, then reached out to grab, extracting a bit of demon stone from inside the werewolf’s body.
It was much bigger than that of the Lizard Demon.
But compared to the demon stones inside the werewolf and the Ape Demon, it was several levels inferior.
Looking at such a small demon stone, Li Qian’s expression turned grave.
Because this bit of demon stone may have been forged from the lives of an entire city’s worth of humans.
He moved to the giant werewolf corpse, without any hesitation swung his sword, sword lights crisscrossing and tearing through the werewolf’s body, eventually turning it into countless fragments.
Mostly because he was worried that this werewolf corpse would be used again.
After finishing all this, Li Qian did not leave but carefully observed the entire cave.
When he first came here, he had no contact with arrays.
But now his attainment in arrays was not particularly poor either.
Combining the arrays that appeared in Mang Niu County, he noticed some array traces in this cave.
He waved his hand, sending forth a gust of True Qi that swept through all the werewolf fragments to one side, then stood on the platform to scrutinize carefully.
There were very complex patterns etched onto this platform.
"Is this an Array Plate?"
A look of surprise and uncertainty came over his face.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, sensing a faint tremor in the ground.
He was not sure if it was an illusion; he seemed to also hear a voice in his ear saying: I will remember you...
"What’s going on?"
Hou Shuwen hurriedly got up and left the tent, walking up to a hillside, overlooking the still bustling Mang Niu County in the distance.
There was nothing unusual.
But that strange auditory hallucination just now... and the sensation of trembling, he did not believe it to be false.
After all, he was a Heavenly Person; to cause him to have auditory hallucinations, it must be a higher level of Martial Intent.
"Could it be the beast?"
He tensed up inside.
A long time passed, and there were no abnormalities.
He shook his head and was about to return to the tent when suddenly, his vision blurred, and a person in a black cloak appeared before his eyes.
There was clearly someone right in front of him, yet he couldn’t feel their presence at all.
"You, you are... the ancestor?"
He recognized the figure in front of him; it matched the description provided by his martial great-uncle exactly.
Suppressing his own excitement and feeling apprehensive, he asked.
"The ancestor?"
Li Qian’s hoarse voice rang out.
When did he become the ancestor?
"Ancestor, my martial great-uncle has already told me about your existence, please rest assured, I will definitely not reveal it."
Hou Shuwen said hurriedly.
"Xiao Heavenly Person is taking me for the old ancestor of Divine Sword Sect... that old guy really is full of ideas."
Li Qian couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
He had unexpectedly become the old ancestor of Divine Sword Sect out of the blue.
However, wearing a black cloak, Hou Shuwen couldn’t see his expression.
"That demonic beast, this old man has already exterminated it. Here are the locations of the Array Plate and Solid Array Piles of the Divine Traveling Soldier Armor Mother and Child Great Array hidden in Mang Niu County. Dig them out and move them back to Divine Sword Sect."
After Li Qian finished speaking, he threw out a freshly drawn blueprint, then his figure shifted, melting into the darkness and disappearing.
"The beast was exterminated by the ancestor?"
Hou Shuwen’s eyes widened in shock.
So the disturbance and auditory hallucination he felt earlier were the ancestor exterminating the demon.
So effortlessly did he eliminate the beast, without making much disturbance; just how powerful is the ancestor?
