Chapter 6 Divine Weapons and Beasts Dance
Clearly, the battle just now had alerted the divine beast that lived in seclusion in the Fairy Sound Forest.
Wu Yi did not rush forward, but stood still, waiting for Shen Wu to speak.
Since she chose to appear, she must have intended to communicate.
Sure enough, after a moment, Shenwu spoke up.
"Lord Nangong."
Her voice was as beautiful and melodious as legend had it, every word sounding as if it had been carefully tuned.
"That divine weapon you just used... was it the Evil-Slaying Sword?"
"Mm." Wu Yi nodded.
Shenwu flew out from behind the tree and came to Wu Yi.
Her gaze swept back and forth between Wu Yi and Jing Xie, her eyes filled with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity.
"That lazy crab Jingxie actually agreed to cooperate with someone?"
After observing for a while, Shenwu finally spoke, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "I thought it was planning to hide on the beach forever."
"Hey!" Jingxie's voice rang out immediately, "Shenwu, who are you calling lazy? I was... strategically infiltrating!"
"Strategic infiltration?" Shenwu tilted her head. "Then how did you manage to infiltrate Lord Nangong's ranks?"
"I……"
Startled, he was speechless for a moment.
Wu Yi didn't let the two divine beasts continue arguing; he went straight to the point.
"Shenwu, I came to Xianyin Forest specifically to find you."
Shenwu put away her joking expression and looked at Wu Yi seriously.
"The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance is about to attack Nangong City," Wu Yi said solemnly. "He possesses a demonic weapon called Tiger Soul, which can demonize divine beasts. I need your power to counter the demonic power of Tiger Soul."
Shenwu fell silent.
Of course she knew the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
In fact, the reason she went into seclusion in the Fairy Sound Forest was to avoid being hunted down by the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
She had witnessed General Big Ears and his Black-Hearted Crow wreaking havoc in Fairy Sound Forest.
The birds that were once free and unfettered were transformed into monsters that only knew how to attack, and the innocent villagers were chased with nowhere to escape.
All of this is the result of the evil deeds committed by the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
"I see."
Shenwu raised her head, a resolute glint in her golden eyes.
"That tiger's demonic abilities are truly a headache."
"but……"
Shenwu glanced at Jingxie in Wu Yi's hand, then at Nangong Wenya, who was standing not far away and had just purified a flock of black-hearted crows, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Lord Nangong, you seem to have quite a few helpers around you. Even that lazy crab Jingxie is willing to fight to the death. If I still hide, wouldn't I be even less capable than him?"
"Hey!" Jingxie protested again.
Shenwu ignored it and said to Wu Yi, "City Lord Nangong, I am willing to lend you a hand."
"However..." Shenwu paused, then added, "However, my power is mainly manifested in purification and support. Direct combat is not my forte. If it really comes down to a fight, it will depend on you and Jingxie."
"That's enough." Wu Yi nodded. "I only need you to use your singing to neutralize Tiger Soul's demonic attack at crucial moments. Leave the rest to me and Jingxie."
It's a deal.
Shenwu gently landed on Wu Yi's shoulder and folded her wings.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the man and his two divine weapons, casting long shadows on them.
Wu Yi looked up at the sky, then turned and walked towards the giant dragon.
"Let's go back to Nangong City."
"The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance will be arriving in about two days."
The giant dragon let out a deep roar, spread its wings, and carried Wu Yi, Nangong Wenya, and the two divine beasts into the sky, flying towards Nangong City.
Behind them, the villagers of Xianyin Forest emerged from their hiding place, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude as they gazed at the dragon's shadow gradually disappearing into the distance.
……
When the giant dragon returned to Nangong City, it was already late at night.
Wu Yi, carrying the sleeping Nangong Wenya, leaped off the dragon's back.
Shenwu remained perched quietly on his shoulder, her golden feathers gleaming softly in the night.
Jingxie, on the other hand, reverted to its divine beast form. Its bluish-gray shell was covered with patterns of time, and its pair of huge pincers were slightly open, their blades gleaming with a cold light that even the darkness of night could not conceal.
On the square, a small number of soldiers on duty were patrolling. When they saw Wu Yi return, they all saluted.
"City Lord!"
Wu Yi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers in the square.
Now, Ximen City, Beiming Snow Manor, and Dongfang Haige have all fallen. Nangong City is the last stronghold of Yulong Kingdom and a target that the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance is determined to capture.
Based on the timeline, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance is expected to arrive around tomorrow afternoon.
In other words, he still has half a day to adjust his state and make preparations.
"Pass down the order," Wu Yi said. "Starting tonight, the entire city will be on high alert. Double the number of sentries on the city walls, and all soldiers must wear armor and carry weapons at all times."
"yes!"
Although the soldiers in the square were puzzled, they still agreed earnestly.
"In addition, send people to evacuate all the people within a hundred feet of the Nuwa Temple."
"clear!"
The generals obeyed and left, while Wu Yi, carrying Nangong Wenya, led Jingxie and Shenwu towards the city lord's mansion.
After settling Nangong Wenya in, Wu Yi went to the study alone.
Jingxie lay lazily in the corner, its huge pincers dangling casually on the ground, while Shenwu perched on the windowsill, moonlight streaming in from the window and illuminating the two divine beasts.
"Are you nervous?" Shenwu suddenly asked.
Wu Yi did not answer.
"He's not nervous," Jingxie's languid voice rang out. "I can tell he's even a little excited."
Wu Yi remained silent, only a slight smile played on his lips.
Jingxie was right; he really wasn't nervous.
It wasn't underestimating the enemy, but rather a clear understanding of our own strength.
With Jingxie by his side, Shenwu accompanying him, and the sword cultivation he inherited from Nangong Yi's body, he was ready to contribute to the synergy.
Even if the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance came with that demonized tiger, such a combination would definitely not gain any advantage.
Moreover, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance was unaware of the existence of Jingxie and Shenwu.
With a focused mind and a lack of focus, the odds of winning increase even further.
"Get some rest," Wu Yi said, getting up after a few words.
Jingxie yawned and tucked its head into its shell. Shenwu also folded its wings and closed its eyes.
Looking at the two divine beasts with such different personalities, Wu Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
……
The night passed quickly.
The entire city of Nangong felt the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm.
Even Jingxie and Shenwu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Only Wu Yi remained calm and composed.
It was this calm and composure that gave everyone confidence.
Nuwa Temple.
Wu Yi returned to the main hall to check on the condition of the Heavenly Crystal Egg.
Within the purple beam of light, the Heavenly Crystal Egg trembled slightly, its surface shimmering with a faint halo.
Compared to yesterday, the patterns on the eggshell are clearer, and you can vaguely see something slowly moving inside.
"Lord of the City," came the childish voice of the Celestial Crystal Beast from its egg, "I sense... something bad is approaching."
