Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1449: Chapter 1047: The Rules Must Not Be Broken

Jun Yan is a subordinate of Lord Sang, assisting in managing the mountain folds.

Each time before night falls on the wilderness, one of the lord’s main responsibilities is to ensure that the Great Demon Beasts wandering outside during the day return early to their caves. Without going out, without causing trouble, only then can the delicate balance of the wilderness above be maintained.

But not every Demon Beast can obediently follow orders, and in order to maintain stability, those who don’t listen can’t simply be caught and killed.

Therefore, Jun Yan, who is skilled in the Nightmare Technique, becomes a crucial assistant, driving the hulking creatures that cannot hide their forms into the mountains, and folding the mountain space before the wilderness sinks.

His true form is the Nightmare Tiger Demon, who once met Shi Hu and found affinity at first sight, which also led to a past case where Shi Hu accidentally entered the sealed Ghost Realm and sought help from Jiang Yuan.

"Hey? Brother Jun Yan!" Shi Hu looked up and saw the newcomer, his tiger eyes brightened instantly, and he shouted excitedly, "It’s been a long time since we parted hastily. How come you have the time to be here?"

Seeing the ruins and devastation everywhere, Jun Yan murmured to himself that something is wrong!

The aura of the two escaped Demon Beasts still lingered, yet they were nowhere to be seen. He was anxious, not expecting to encounter old acquaintances—a friend Shi Hu with whom he found affinity, Mr. Jiang who had a deep connection with the lord, Lord Jiang from Wuhai Zizhou, and an adorable puppy rubbing against Mr. Jiang’s clothes, which seemed to be his pet.

"Jun Yan pays his respects to Mr. Jiang, Lord Jiang, Brother Shi Hu, and this little friend here." He hurried over, politely greeting each of them, then spoke urgently, "I was responsible for driving away two Great Demon Beasts. I don’t know when they acquired a Magical Treasure for space and escaped from the folded mountains!

I’ve tracked them here, hoping to quickly drive them back. Such Great Demon Beasts, even if they don’t cause trouble, merely releasing their aura can cause panic among many Demon Cultivators and Low Tier Demon Beasts on the wilderness at night.

Judging by the situation, I fear they fought here. Have any of you seen their tracks? If you could guide me, Jun Yan would be immensely grateful!"

Jun Yan is truly anxious as Lord Sang is entangled by the mischief of the two Mountain Masters; meanwhile, Miss Sang Qi and the others have their hands full and will not be able to rush to the rescue for a moment.

At present, only he himself has the time to chase the Demon Beasts down, yet he cannot leave the folded mountains for too long. Otherwise, when the time for the Nightmare Technique is up, other Demon Beasts will become restless, potentially causing greater chaos!

"Oh, they’ve already been slaughtered by my master." Shi Hu’s mouth was the fastest, bragging proudly, "Once cleaned up, the master will give us an extra meal! Jun Yan, you’ve come at the right time; you can just taste my master’s Immortal Chef skills. The flavor will leave you longing for it for a lifetime!"

What kept Shi Hu from sneaking off to slack was the extremely grim fate of the Elder Dragon Zhou Jian, the collar around his neck, and of course, the inability to part with the master’s excellent culinary skills.

As he spoke, his drool almost dripped down.

Slaughtered, slaughtered?!

Jun Yan was momentarily bewildered, looking woodenly at Jiang Yuan.

"Is it that if the lost Demon Beasts died outside, it would be difficult to explain to Lord Sang when you return?" Jiang Yuan saw that Jun Yan, who was in a rush, suddenly become dumbfounded, thinking it was due to his duties, shocked by the sudden change.

He patiently explained, "If I remember correctly, one of them, the Wild Bull, intentionally made trouble when Lord Sang was too occupied with handling the Ghost Realm Seal.

It felt proud thinking Sang was heavily injured and might not be able to protect himself, looking for an opportunity to challenge the rules set by Lord Sang. Getting its way once would enable it to conspire with other Great Demon Beasts together to rebel.

Additionally, the two of them escaped together tonight not just to provoke Lord Sang; a larger reason was an excessively peaceful, unchallenged life unable to suppress their internal eagerness for bestial slaughter.

By day, Great Demon Beasts are all over the wilderness, they dare not provoke, and use the cover of night to escape utilizing the Magical Treasure.

Then they began competing to see who could kill more lives.

One proudly destroyed a mortal town with a kick; the other swallowed a hundred Demon Cultivators from a small sect boasting grandly. The longer the two Demon Beasts competed the less they yielded. For safety’s sake, they agreed to duel near the Ancient Battlefield, in the Extreme West Realm where the aura of slaughter was strongest.

When I arrived upon learning of the news, they had demolished the forest and distant gobi into unrecognizable form. Seeing the two Fierce Beasts committed too many sins with no way to reform, I ordered my Spirit Pet to kill them to prevent more harm to the common people.

I wonder whether this will affect your jurisdiction power.

If Lord Sang questions, you can speak frankly, and I will explain it to him; if other Demon Beasts seize this chance to create chaos and are difficult for you and Lord Sang to handle, as an outsider, I am willing to act as the executioner. Slaughtering a batch of ferocious Great Demon Beasts, serves as a warning to others."

These words were spoken loudly, Jun Yan quickly bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your understanding! The escape of Demon Beasts is due to my negligence. Since they are dead, there won’t be a threat to the wilderness at night, so I must hurry back to report.

There are many Great Demon Beasts needing calming, and only when morning comes, will Jun Yan find another chance to express gratitude by visiting!"

Having finished the official business, he silently breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Hu, "Though we brothers haven’t seen each other for days, today’s meeting leaves no time to catch up. Thank you for the invitation, but my duties bind me from leaving. When time permits, let’s have drinks and merriness another day."
