Upon hearing about the rebellion among his demon soldiers, Jiang Che immediately thought of retaliation from the Shushan Sword Sect.

After all, the Shushan Sword Sect suffered significant losses at the hands of Tiger King Ridge, so it was entirely reasonable for them to sabotage Tiger King Ridge, and even incite the demon soldiers to kill each other wasn't out of the question.

However, the next moment, Jiang Che felt this speculation was unlikely.

Because if the Shushan Sword Sect wanted to retaliate against Tiger King Ridge, there was no need to target the demon soldiers below.

No matter how many demon soldiers were lost, it would hardly affect Jiang Che and his second-in-command, failing to achieve the purpose of revenge altogether.

"Going insane? Corrupted by demonic Qi? Where did this demonic Qi come from in Tiger King Ridge?"

Fang Yuan frowned as he looked at the Vajra Giant Ape ahead, suspiciously asking, "Are you sure it's demonic Qi infection?"

"Big brother, really, I've been with you for so long, how could I not recognize demonic Qi?"

The Vajra Giant Ape hastily nodded, speaking with seriousness.

"Could it be a conspiracy by the Shushan Sword Sect? Did they use some technique on the demon soldiers below, causing them to be tainted with demonic influence?"

At this moment, Nangong Luo also placed suspicion on the Shushan Sword Sect.

There was no choice since the recent conflicts with Tiger King Ridge involved the Shushan Sword Sect, making them the prime suspect.

"Let's go and take a look first! No matter what, let's settle the chaos before discussing further. Vajra, lead the way immediately."

As Jiang Che spoke, he summoned his Heaven-smiting Halberd, then transported the Vajra Giant Ape onto it, transforming into a streak of golden light flying out of the formation.

Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan also used their techniques to follow closely.

Before long, Jiang Che arrived at the site of the rebellion.

This place was at the border between the territories of Bear One, Bear Two, and the Vajra Giant Ape.

At the moment, the scene was already chaotic, with strands of demonic Qi rising from the ground toward the sky.

Roar~

The sounds of roaring were incessant, with a large number of demon soldiers in a melee.

At this time, Bear One and Bear Two were leading their demon soldiers to confront the demonized soldiers, engaged in relentless combat with demon soldiers falling every moment.

Those demonized soldiers, with their blood-red eyes, emitted a crazed aura, seemingly oblivious to pain, fighting with fearless ferocity, their bodies emanating faint demonic Qi.

Facing such monsters often required two demon soldiers to barely bring them down.

"Roar!!"

With its massive body, Bear One rampaged through the demonized soldiers.

Any demonized soldiers hit or grazed would be uncontrollably flung away with a scream.

Simultaneously, Bear One's paws, resembling millstones, swung continuously, emitting terrifying howls, and each attack caused the demonized soldiers' bodies to crumble, turning into a mist of blood.

Watching those demonized soldiers, Jiang Che frowned deeply.

Indeed, they were demonized.

These demon soldiers, corrupted by demonic Qi, exhibited only violence in their eyes, fighting like madmen, turned into mere killing machines devoid of any intelligence.

"There's no saving them!"

A trace of harshness flashed in Jiang Che's eyes.

Rumble~

In an instant, the sky changed color, winds and clouds gathered, patches of dark clouds moved overhead, forming a sky-covering shroud, thunder rumbled like a roar of ten thousand beasts, and bolts of lightning leapt out from the dark clouds, the purple lightning illuminating the world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, the continuous, deafening thunder resonated in the ears of countless beings below, and arm-thick pillars of lightning rained down swiftly, like a storm.

Instantly, the dim world caused by the sky-covering shroud was illuminated like daylight.

The destructive aura of the lightning pillars struck precisely some of the charging demonized soldiers below, erupting suddenly, the terrifying power not only annihilated the demonized soldiers but also blasted a deep pit in the ground.

As the lightning pillars continued to fall, one by one, the demonized soldiers vanished into ashes, and the frenzy of their assault was forcibly suppressed.

At this moment, Fang Yuan and Nangong Luo also arrived.

"These demon soldiers were indeed corrupted by demonic influence."

Nangong Luo watched the demonized soldiers below, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Corrupting such a large number of demon soldiers in a short timeframe was extremely difficult.

It required not only a vast amount of demonic Qi but also gathering all these soldiers together...

If indeed it was the work of the Shushan Sword Sect, where did they get so much demonic Qi?

While Nangong Luo considered the hidden motives behind this, Fang Yuan's focus was more apparent.

"The demonic Qi on these demonized soldiers is so pure!"

Fang Yuan stared at the demonized soldiers below, his eyes full of surprise.

"Boss, let me assist you!"

Seeing Jiang Che assault the demonized soldiers, Fang Yuan quickly charged forward.

"Second, leave these demonized soldiers to you and Third Sister!"

Seeing Fang Yuan rushing over, Jiang Che immediately retreated, giving a quick instruction to Fang Yuan before flying downward.

While Fang Yuan was engaged in eliminating demonized soldiers, Jiang Che found Bear One, fighting courageously below.

"Greetings, Majesty!"

Bear One, brimming with fierce aura, stopped his actions upon seeing Jiang Che and approached respectfully.

"Bear One, what happened to these demon soldiers? Why are they demonized?"

Jiang Che went straight to the point, wanting to see if Bear One knew the reason.

If this wasn't the doing of the Shushan Sword Sect, where did the demonic Qi corrupting these soldiers come from?

"Report to Majesty, I learned from the subordinate soldiers that it seems the demonic Qi corrupting these soldiers originates from a valley ahead.

All these demonized soldiers had entered that valley.

At that time, there was an anomaly in the valley, and many soldiers, thinking there was a treasure inside, entered in large numbers."

Bear One hurriedly explained.

"A valley? Where is that valley? Have you been there, Bear One?"

Hearing about a valley with demonic Qi, Jiang Che's eyes flashed with keen interest, pressing Bear One for answers.

"Your Majesty, the demonic Qi was quite terrifying, so I only watched from afar, not daring to approach."

Bear One hesitated slightly as he spoke.

Soon, the demonized soldiers were completely subdued by Fang Yuan and Nangong Luo, and under Bear One's guidance, Jiang Che and his group proceeded to the valley.

"Such dense demonic Qi, what's happening with this valley?"

Staring at the valley ahead, filled with surging demonic Qi, Fang Yuan exclaimed in shock.

The giant valley ahead was shrouded in demonic Qi, and the trees within seemed affected, grotesquely mutated.

Especially since there was a severe lack of Spiritual Qi inside, making it entirely unsuitable for normal creatures' survival.

Feeling the spatial fluctuations deep within the valley, Nangong Luo, standing beside Jiang Che, had a sudden change in expression.

She suddenly recalled some rumors from her past life.

Could it be that this is the Evil Demon Forbidden Land?
