Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1285 1196: Journey to Yun Meng

Seeing the Ninth Route General leave, the entire scene fell silent, so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard. No one could believe what they had just witnessed.

The Twelve Great Generals, in the entire Great Qin Empire, each was a god-like existence, revered by all Demon Cultivators.

Never had there been tales of a general retreating out of fear.

Yet today, they had unexpectedly witnessed the Ninth Route General flee in panic.

Although the Ninth Route General had spoken eloquently, everyone understood that he had been frightened away by Wang Yan.

Ji Congjing was the first to react. She quickly stood up, ran over to the large tree nearby, raised her hand, and took down the General's Seal and Governor's Seal hanging on the tree. She put away the Governor's Seal and held the General's Seal reverently, offering it to Wang Yan with a smiling face, "Senior, this General's Seal is now yours."

Wang Yan turned to glance at Ji Congjing but did not accept the General's Seal from her hand.

Ji Congjing felt a chill run through her under Wang Yan's gaze. She quickly lowered her head and forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, saying, "Senior saved my life, and I will never forget it. From now on, whatever senior asks me to do, I will obey."

At this point, Ji Congjing twisted her soft and slender waist, assuming a seductive posture.

However, Wang Yan's expression did not change in the slightest, coldly staring at her.

Ji Congjing was frightened, thinking to herself: I'm really courting death, treating a High-Tier Demon Venerable as a plaything. If I say anything wrong now, he might take my life immediately.

Ji Congjing's eyes darted around, suddenly lighting up, she said, "Senior, not only is my entire self yours, but I also have a priceless treasure to offer."

With that, Ji Congjing urgently waved at Qin Shousheng, saying, "Quickly bring out our treasure."

Qin Shousheng naturally understood Ji Congjing was referring to the Dual Cultivation Technique. Although he was unwilling, he didn't have the courage to refuse.

Right away, Qin Shousheng smiled awkwardly as he took out half of the Dual Cultivation Technique, and Ji Congjing unceremoniously grabbed it, combining it with her own half, respectfully presenting it to Wang Yan with both hands.

Wang Yan said coldly, "Forget it, since you're being filial, I'll accept it."

With that, Wang Yan raised his hand, and the Dual Cultivation Technique and the General's Seal flew into his hand.

Seeing Wang Yan accept the items, Ji Congjing breathed a sigh of relief, though inwardly frustrated: It's said that High-Tier Demon Venerables are all eccentric, yet this one ignores a beauty like me, preferring a Dual Cultivation Technique. I'm the most beautiful in all of Nanyang County, if he doesn't want me, who would he choose? Unless he likes men? But that's not right; didn't he have a fling with me before?

For a moment, Ji Congjing's mind was a jumble of thoughts, but she still didn't stop trying to win Wang Yan's favor.

At that moment, Ji Congjing glanced at the surrounding crowd and immediately came up with a plan.

She put on a stern face and said to those around her, "What are you staring at? Can't you see the new Grand General standing here? Why haven't you paid your respects?"

Although everyone knew Wang Yan hadn't officially taken the position of Grand General, they had witnessed the defeat of the Ninth Route General with their own eyes, so they dared not argue with Ji Congjing.

Ji Congjing said, "From today, the Grand General of Nanyang, Yunmeng, and Chen County is..."

She quickly turned to Wang Yan and softly asked, "How should I address you, Senior?"

At this moment, Ji Congjing still didn't know Wang Yan's name.

"Demon Wolf King!" Wang Yan said lightly.

Ji Congjing immediately turned back and said to the crowd, "From today onwards, the Ninth Route General is the Senior Demon Wolf King."

The surrounding crowd immediately hailed him as the General, respectfully saluting Wang Yan.

But inwardly, they pondered, never having heard of a figure named Demon Wolf King, likely an invented name.

Seeing Wang Yan's lack of interest, Ji Congjing quickly dismissed the crowd.

At this moment, searching for Luo Yuan, she discovered he had been scared stiff, literally to death.

Ji Congjing found Luo Yuan's Storage Bag, dared not keep it herself, gave it all to Wang Yan, and invited him to stay in the main hall of the County Mansion.

Ji Congjing searched the County Mansion, found Magical Treasure items, first showing them to Wang Yan, who if uninterested, would let her keep them.

What she deemed unattractive, she gave to Qin Shousheng.

Although Qin Shousheng became a lackey, Wang Yan's cultivation level was beyond his resistance, forcing him to obey obediently.

Seeing Ji Congjing was somewhat perceptive, Wang Yan allowed her to flaunt his power in Nanyang County.

With Ji Congjing, Wang Yan avoided many troubles.

Not long after, Wang Yan's exploits spread beyond Nanyang County, everyone knew a reclusive senior had emerged in Nanyang County, not only having defeated the Ninth Route General but also planning a challenge at Yunmeng in three days.

From several surrounding counties of Nanyang, countless Demon Cultivators flocked from all directions, some awaiting Wang Yan's challenge at Yunmeng County in three days, others seeking to connect with Wang Yan.

Fortunately, Ji Congjing blocked them, while the outside was lively, Wang Yan's County Mansion remained very quiet.

In a flash, it was the third day.

The morning of the third day.

Wang Yan rose from his seat and stepped outside.

All the while waiting by the door, Ji Congjing immediately approached, smiling, "Master, is there anything you need?"

Wang Yan said, "Today is the day of the three-day appointment, accompany me to Yunmeng County."

Hearing this, Ji Congjing shivered with fear and urgently said, "Master, are you really going?"

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, coldly saying, "What? Do you have any objections?"

Ji Congjing hurriedly shook her head, "I wouldn't dare, it's just that Master may not know Yunmeng County is a den of tigers and wolves."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Congjing urgently explained, "The Ninth Route General you defeated is named Meng Tian, an Initial Tier Demon Venerable, and his cultivation is the lowest among the Twelve Great Generals. He became a General due to his father and brother."

Glancing at Wang Yan, Ji Congjing saw a slight change in his face and happily continued, "His elder brother is named Meng Wu, while his father is the Great Qin's renowned Ancient General, named Meng Ao, a genuine High-Tier Demon Venerable."

Upon this, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, showing a trace of surprise.

Seeing Wang Yan's expression finally change, Ji Congjing thought her words had worked, making Wang Yan realize Meng Ao's formidable cultivation.

Ji Congjing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Wang Yan wouldn't head to Yunmeng County.

In truth, hearing Meng Ao's name wasn't about his cultivation.

But Wang Yan had long heard of the Meng Family's three names.

Historically, the Meng trio were renowned Qin Dynasty generals; unexpectedly, he'd meet them personally here.

And the one just defeated under his hands was historically titled the Great Qin's fiercest general, Meng Tian.

Now all three held Demon Venerable cultivation, Meng Ao even being High Tier.

After breaking through as a Demon Venerable, Wang Yan hadn't yet battled a High-Tier opponent. Whether the challenge was necessary or not, he needed to test the gap between his current cultivation and High Tier.

Thus, Wang Yan laughed heartily and said, "In that case, let's go to Yunmeng County now."

Then, in Yunmeng County, the Ninth Route General Meng Tian stood silently before an elder.

This elder waved his hand and said to Meng Tian, "Do not worry. I've set a trap in Yunmeng City. If that Demon Wolf King dares to come, I'll ensure he suffers unbearable humiliation, neither living nor dying."
