Chapter 1427 - 913: Double Ninth Festival

September 9, Kunlun Peak.

On the snowy mountain, several spatial rifts suddenly appeared, resembling the marks of a tiger’s claw tearing through.

As the rifts merged, sure enough, a white tiger emerged!

Such an important place within the Kunlun Realm naturally does not permit creatures to cause disturbances.

However, since the creature was a white tiger, the guards did not react much, for this was the homeland of the White Tiger Race.

Moreover, the soldiers saw the group of Yu, Nan, and Wei on the white tiger’s head.

Yu, Nan, and Wei!

These three top disciples of the Paper Crane sect are also recognized by the world as the "Divine Generals of Great Xia."

Since a month ago, when Du Yu and others fought through the Youhan Realm and returned triumphantly to Kunlun Mountain, this team’s deeds quickly spread.

With media coverage everywhere and word of mouth, the entire Twin Tree Realm was set ablaze!

People will never forget that day: Twin Tree Calendar year 999, July 27th.

On that day, Great Xia experienced simultaneous earthquakes across the land. People were alarmed, fearing an invasion by the Youhan.

However, when the accurate news emerged, it was invigorating and joyous to all!

This earthquake was caused by the Twin Trees, completely destroying the Youhan Trees inside every Bottomless Abyss!

The question followed.

Since the two realms began battling, the Twin Tree Realm had always been at a disadvantage.

Whether it was the Human-Beast Alliance Army or the Twin Divine Trees themselves, they struggled to resist the assaults of the Youhan Realm, retreating in defeat.

The disadvantage was evident.

Why?

How did the Twin Trees suddenly rise to victory, turning defeat into triumph?

The official answer from Great Xia left the world dumbfounded: led by Du Yu, a small team ventured into the Youhan Realm and completely destroyed the Youhan Trees!

Du Yu?

Who is Du Yu?!

The top Paper Crane Disciple of Great Xia!

Even ordinary people not particularly interested in Demon Taming knew of this renowned name!

Du Yu repeatedly placed first in exams of high national attention.

He traveled across Great Xia, providing firefighting aid and resolving crises caused by Ancient Spiritual Artifacts.

He was even targeted by the Cold Tree, unwittingly involving an entire city, causing millions of Ancient Pine Tower City residents to be displaced...

Any single incident was enough to make "Du Yu" a name known throughout Great Xia.

When all these messages point to one person, it’s hard for people living in this era to ignore this name.

Now, not just the people of Great Xia, but people across the world will remember his name!

Slayer of Cold Wood—Du Yu!

This message, confirmed and released by the authorities of Great Xia, was akin to a bombshell.

As mentioned earlier, people rejoiced, even cried tears of joy, celebrating globally!

From then on, all kinds of praises fell on the Great Xia team.

The name Divine Generals of Great Xia quickly spread.

Notably, a total of eight people received this title.

Cyan Sect claimed six!

The other two honored individuals were the Wind Saint and the Lan Saint.

Only Saint Hu Yi was absent from the list.

Clearly, when Great Xia wishes to conceal someone, the world really doesn’t receive a shred of information.

Regarding the incident of Du Yu and others vanquishing the Youhan, it was naturally spread by the Demon Spirit Squad to stabilize military spirits and strengthen public faith.

From the very beginning, personnel from the Kunlun Void Hu Family were kept hidden from the group of nine.

The Hu Family, guarding the Kunlun Divine Tree for generations, received the respect they deserved from Great Xia, continuing their anonymous guardianship.

The three—Yu, Nan, and Wei—came precisely to find Saint Hu Yi.

"Roar." The white tiger landed steadily, looking up at the Twin Divine Trees, then gazing into the distant snowy mountains.

"Go with the Divine Wind Demon Saint." Du Yu patted Li Mengnan’s back.

"Mm-hmm." Li Mengnan nodded repeatedly, feeling a bit excited.

Her dear Du Yu silently gifted her a white tiger, truly making Li Mengnan elated!

This wasn’t any ordinary tiger!

This was the White Tiger, the Demon Saint White Tiger, and also the Divine Wind White Tiger guarding the Kunlun Void!

"Be prudent, mind your manners during communication." Lin Shiwei gently reminded with as soothing a tone as possible.

Despite this, General Lin seemed to be issuing orders.

"Yes, sir!" Li Mengnan replied with a cheeky grin.

Lin Shiwei playfully rolled her eyes at the girl, then felt a tightness at her waist.

She lowered her gaze, letting Du Yu wrap his arm around her waist as they flew from upon the tiger’s head.

Lin Shiwei considered herself greedy, yet somehow, Du Yu’s small gesture could still bring a slight joy to her heart.

Perhaps... it’s because this wooden guy seldom takes the initiative?

The two descended beneath the Kunlun Divine Tree, the Spirit Branch following.

Du Yu raised his hand to catch the Spirit Branch, praising, "You have flourished quite a bit more."

"Yes." The tone of the Divine Tree was noticeably lighter, in great condition, "Now, you can take a break."

"Mm." Du Yu nodded, "With no more Cold Beast Legions in the world, I indeed should take a break."

Since the fall of the Cold Tree, various Bottomless Gates began closing.

As for those gates that hadn’t closed by themselves, they were sealed by the Spirit Branch and Spiritual Energy Carpet.

With the Youhan Squad inside the Twin Tree Realm having lost the greatest support of the Cold Tree and with no further reinforcements, they became entirely like lambs to the slaughter.

At least to Du Yu, they were lambs.

This is why Du Yu insisted on fighting until today.

This world isn’t fair, and people have never been truly equal.

In front of Du Yu, the soldiers of the Cold Race were equivalent to corpses.

However, in the face of the Human-Beast Alliance Army, the Cold Race remains a formidable threat, a terrifying presence capable of enslaving all beings.

Du Yu believes that every time he participates in a battle, every effort he makes, the Human-Beast Alliance Army can suffer fewer casualties.

He thinks this way, and he acts this way too.

Throughout the past month, Du Yu’s figure has appeared in various nations and on different battlefields.

His hands are entwined with countless souls, and his feet have crushed an untold number of bones.

Du Yu truly lives up to the "Divine General" title bestowed upon him!

He has slaughtered his way through the Youhan Realm unnoticed by the people, and in places where people could see, he has defeated the Youhan Army.

This also makes his name resound throughout the Twin Tree Realm time and again.

In fact, Du Yu doesn’t care much about fame or glory.

He has already destroyed the Youhan Tree, and with this single feat, he could rest on his laurels and be praised by future generations.

Du Yu’s insistence on joining the battles is purely out of personal desire.

Moreover... well, Lord Baojun seems to enjoy the carnage a lot too.

It pleases him and also makes the Silver Cat happy, so why not?

What delighted Du Yu even more was that the Desolate Silver Lynx, after over a month of campaigning, had set its sights on the path to future supremacy!

Slaughter and conquest!

Du Yu, of course, wholeheartedly supported this!

The road ahead is perilous, and the strength of the enemies even more uncertain.

If Baojun can truly achieve supreme status this way...

Then Du Yu would essentially have an extremely sharp weapon in his possession!

The kind capable of slaying deities!

The master and pet were in perfect harmony, and precisely because of this, she expressed her dissatisfaction with Du Yu’s decision to pause the battles and return home to rest.

She hadn’t killed enough yet...

There was another special creature unhappy—a Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame.

After the fall of the Cold Tree, the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame helped to clean up Bottomless Kunlun, and then it had no food left.

The Demon Fire, which could never be satisfied, nearly went to burn the Kunlun Divine Tree...

Thankfully, Little Fen Yang restrained it, and following Du Yu’s lead, the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame went onto the battlefield, devouring the pervasive cold fog.

The problem is, there will eventually be a time when the fog is consumed entirely.

With Du Yu visiting various battlefields, the food for the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame became increasingly scarce. And now that Du Yu is off the battlefield, it has nothing left to consume.

It was quite frustrated~

Of course, this problem is actually easy to solve.

Du Yu can go to the Youhan Realm anytime, and he can also go to the Ashen Continent. He has set spatial coordinates in both worlds, so there’s certainly cold fog there, right?

The reason he hasn’t gone to both realms is that Little Fen Yang has stopped him.

According to the Supreme Golden Crow, Little Demon Fire has been spoiled, and a bit confused about respect and rank!

She must take the opportunity to discipline and train accordingly...

"Roar!" From afar, a tiger’s roar came through.

Lin Shiwei turned her head, only to see the Divine Wind White Tiger roaring at a snowy peak.

On the tiger’s head, a young girl in a white robe was kneeling, both hands held together in front, her face filled with anticipation.

One must admit, the sacred Divine Wind White Tiger and the pure white-robed maiden are an exceptionally fitting pair!

Such a scene alone inspires awe just by looking.

Shen Mengnan and the Holy White Tiger as a duo don’t need any particular packaging; merely appearing on a city street somewhere would invoke reverence from the people.

"Roar!" The Divine Wind White Tiger roared again, though its voice was somewhat subdued.

Suddenly, a whirlwind of snow danced on the distant peak.

Soon after, a gigantic white tiger measuring over 800 meters long and nearly 600 meters high revealed itself!

The Divine Wind White Tiger, carrying Li Mengnan, flew forward, heading toward the tribe’s Supreme.

Du Yu felt a bit nervous, not knowing whether the Supreme Lord would agree to the tribesman’s departure.

After all, the White Tiger Race has guarded Kunlun for generations, without exceptions.

Setting this aside, Li Mengnan should be qualified to contract with a white tiger.

After all, she is one of the Eight Divine Generals of Great Xia, and has fought side by side with the Supreme White Tiger, risking life and limb... Hmm?

Du Yu slightly widened his eyes, only to see the Supreme White Tiger on the distant snow peak looking over, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

"Slap!" Du Yu clasped his hands together, showing a pleading expression, slightly bowing towards the Supreme White Tiger.

The Supreme White Tiger seemed a bit surprised.

And as the tribe member at its feet expressed their intention, did the Supreme Lord finally understand why Du Yu acted in such a manner.

"It will succeed," Lin Shiwei softly reassured Du Yu.

"Hmm?" Du Yu looked at the girl beside him.

Lin Shiwei clasped his arm, saying, "With you pleading on their behalf, it will definitely succeed."

Du Yu’s face was peculiar: "Is my influence so great that a single request could break the rules of the White Tiger Race, directly ushering in a Demon Saint?"

"Hehe~" Lin Shiwei looked up at Du Yu, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of jest, "I think even this one Supreme White Tiger, you could ask for."

Du Yu: "..."

"Roar!!" The sudden tiger’s roar once again captured the two’s attention.

As they watched from atop the white tiger’s head, Li Mengnan waved her hands constantly, cheering towards Du Yu: "Du Yu, Du Yu~ It succeeded!"

Lin Shiwei looked resigned, holding her forehead in her palm.

She had just advised the girl to stay composed.

Yes, you have the chance to contract an extraordinary white tiger, so of course you should be happy.

But you can’t bounce on other’s heads...

Du Yu was also quite startled!

He quickly urged her, "Don’t jump! Stop jumping, get down from the tiger’s head!"

Li Mengnan was still immersed in joy, her smile indescribably sweet: "Yay!"

Little Fen Yang suddenly appeared, quietly cheering: "Yay~!"

Du Yu: "..."
