Donghong Township.


    On the dried-up riverbed, seven or eight elite de fighters of the Yu Family, two de Masters from the Yu Family, and a Green-Clothed Guard from the Demon-ying Office were besieging a rtively small demon beast covered in ck markings. It looked like neither a leopard nor a wolf.


    However, even thebined strength of all these people was still insufficient to subdue this beast. It kept dashing from left to right amidst the crowd, asionally swinging its ws and sshing blood.


    ck-striped Demon Leopard!


    To handle so many people attacking it and even include three Tendon Changing Realm beings, it was undoubtedly a Third-Rank demon.


    "Don''t fight it head-on, just entangle it, and make sure it doesn''t escape!"


    Ding He of the Green-Clothed Guard shouted loudly.


    If everyone jointly fought to the death, even if they could kill this ck-striped demon leopard, several people would at least die or get injured, including a few of them in the Tendon Changing Realm might note out unscathed.


    However, since they were very close to the town of Donghong Township, they didn''t need to fight to the death but just needed to keep it confined here since support would soon arrive.


    Despite arrangements for patrols at key locations all over Donghong Township, there were inevitably still some that slipped through the, like the ck-striped demon leopard. With its small size and fast speed, it sneaked in during the night, making it impossible to prepare in advance.


    "Roar!"


    Seeing that the nearby people did not engage in a direct fight and were only led by three Tendon Changing individuals to confine it in the center, the demon leopard let out a deep roar when they did not attack as long as it did not move.


    Ultimately, it was a demon and not an ordinary wild beast. It had already sensed the adverse situation and with a sudden roar, it lunged towards the right side, bearing a hit from Ding He''s de and breaking through the encirclement forcefully.


    "Not good."


    Ding He''s expression changed slightly.


    If this demon beast escaped, it would be very troublesome to chase after itter.


    But his speed was not as fast as the opponent''s; once the ck-striped demon leopard forcibly charged past, his swung de could no longer catch up.


    However.


    Just as the ck-striped demon leopard was about to break out of the encirclement and flee, a figure in white suddenly appeared, and a beam of sword light swept across diagonally, forcing the demon leopard to pause its motion abruptly and get driven back into the encirclement.


    The person who arrived was indeed Xu Hongyu.


    "The master has arrived!"


    Seeing this, many of the Yu Family de fighters were heartened and brandished their swords to move forward and assist.


    Xu Hongyu''s strength was originally enough to handle any Third-Rank demon, and she was capable of killing most of them independently. Now, with many subordinates assisting her from the side, it only took a few moves before she pierced through the throat of the ck-striped demon leopard.


    "The master''s swordsmanship is supreme..." Chapter Discover:


    Ding He breathed out softly and ttered as he looked at the body of the ck-striped demon leopard.


    Xu Hongyu, however, did not respond but quickly dealt with the body of the demon leopard, took its Blood Essence, and gazed into the distance just as Xiaohe''s figure hurriedly approached from not too far away.


    "Miss, there''s been a disturbance in the direction of the Wastnd Mountains. A messenger reports that there has been an earthquake that copsed a mountain range."


    Xiaohe quickly reported as she arrived next to Xu Hongyu.


    Earthquakes, mountain copses...


    Xu Hongyu hesitated slightly and then thought of something. "Is it caused by severe drought altering the terrain? It might bring some rare treasures to the surface, but with the current demon chaos, the Wastnd Mountains are not safe."


    She then thought of Chen Mu, who was in the area of the Wastnd Mountains, and he might go to investigate. However,pared to any treasure, Chen Mu''s safety was more important. After all, the Wastnd Mountains were located on the border between two counties.


    If they could get the news here, the He Family in Huaiyu County would as well, but Chen Mu was always cautious in his actions, so there should not be any trouble.


    Xiaohe whispered, "Shall I go and have a look.."


    Even though she couldn''t help much in terms of strength and would even be a burden if she ventured into the Wastnd Mountains, she was still in the Tendon Changing Realm and at least capable of monitoring the situation from the outskirts.


    Xu Hongyu pondered for a while. She also wanted to make the trip, but from today onwards, reports from various ces had beening in, indicating that demon appearances were much more frequent than yesterday, seemingly more agitated. Even a demon like the ck-striped demon leopard had sneaked into the township at night.


    If she left the township, the threat from Third-Rank demons would increase significantly.


    If she went without care and not only failed to help Chen Mu but also caused more trouble, it would undoubtedly be a reckless move.


    As she was contemting.


    Suddenly.


    A loud whistle resounded in the southern sky.


    Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe, and Ding He, along with all the others present, simultaneously looked up.


    After the whistle soared into the sky sharply, it did not gradually cease but instead curved and sounded long again, followed by a third long st, echoing through the heavens.


    Three sts of the whistle!


    Everyone''s faces inevitably changed!


    In the midst of chaos from demons, three sts of the whistle represented the most severe situation, even if the whistle alone could notpletely determine the situation, and it required a messenger to know the details.


    But whatever the situation, three sts in a row meant that all the people from that area had to gather.


    "Let''s go!"


    Xu Hongyu reacted quickly and immediatelymanded sternly, "Gather the remaining forces in the township, notify the surrounding areas, and all residents of the viges in the direction of the three sts should retreat immediately. Once specific news arrives, report it to the County Government immediately..."


    As she returned to the township, she rapidly issuedmands, and soon, the stationed personnel in the township and others from nearby areas where there was temporarily no trouble, came together from all directions toward the south, where the three sts had originated.


    On the southern road.


    Groups arriving from various directions, also alerted by the three sts, gathered together, the number quickly reaching nearly a hundred. It consisted not only of the forces Xu Hongyu brought but also some proficient individuals from the township who were mobilized.
