Great Xia, as a neighboring country of Great Chang, was stronger than Great Chang in both territory and national strength and population.
However, the monster disaster in Great Xia was much more severe than in Great Chang.
During a horrifying demonic sacrifice, even Xia Capital along with a large number of the Imperial Family were sacrificed. If it weren’t for a Heavenly Phenomenon Level real person who came from the outside to preside, the entire Great Xia would have fallen under the control of monsters.
Even so, apart from the core areas of various Dao Prefectures, the common people of the states and counties of Great Xia were living in misery, suffering from the monster disaster.
After entering the Demon Disaster Area, Li Qian could see many cities, still inhabited by large populations.
But Li Qian knew that these towns had long been under the control of the Demon Race, managed by the Demon Sect that pledges allegiance to the Demon Race. These Demon Sects were somewhat similar to the Mu Family from the Ancient Era, or, to say, began to take on the functions of the Mu Family.
He had personally entered the town to understand how the Demon Sects in the Demon Disaster Area operated. They spread the faith of Demon Sect to numb and deceive the masses, making them content with the status quo and not resist the rule of Demon Sect.
In addition, the Demon Sect would select some of the devout believers from the people and send them to the so-called Divine Country to receive the cleansing of the deities.
In reality, these people had only one fate, and that was to become nutrients for the monsters.
The key point was that many ordinary people actually bought into this.
From the surface, the cities in the Demon Disaster Area were very stable under the management of the Demon Sect, whereas the towns outside the Demon Disaster Area were often attacked by monsters, leaving the people in fear and living in terror day and night.
"Only by completely cleaning out the monsters can the Demon Race lose its environment to survive."
Li Qian muttered to himself.
As long as the monsters exist for one day, it would be difficult to eliminate the Demon Sect.
Whoosh!
Li Qian left a city and flew towards the core area of the monster disaster.
In less than half an hour, he had already arrived at Daxia’s capital, that is, Xia Capital.
This was the origin of the monster disaster.
Nobody knew how the Demon Sect managed to complete the demonic sacrifice within the most important capital city of Great Xia, but they did it somehow.
The current Xia Capital had already become a place overrun with monsters, shrouded in fog, with only faint outlines visible.
Terrifying roars of beasts emanated from within, causing palpitations.
Li Qian directly flew into the mist, his powerful Spiritual Sense sweeping, sensing Array Formation Fluctuations resembling those from the Ten Directions Array Solution of Lion Camel Ridge.
He speculated that, in the Ancient Times, the region where Great Chang and Great Xia were located must have been Lion Camel’s territory, hence all the arrays in the Demon Disaster Area were related to Lion Camel Ridge.
Li Qian’s proficiency in arrays had significantly improved compared to the past, and entering the array did not pose too much of an obstacle.
Moreover... the arrays here were much inferior compared to those in Lion Camel Demon City.
Soon, Li Qian locked onto a powerful Demon Saint.
Right at the moment his Spiritual Sense locked on, the Demon Saint reacted and tried to flee, but how could Li Qian give it the chance? Without even using his Qi Blood Holy Realm, he nailed it in place with a single sword thrust.
"Mortal Martial Saint... wait until the barrier of the Human World is broken, and I from Lion Camel Ridge will not let you off," said the Demon Saint as it stared at Li Qian with a venomous voice.
The next moment, its Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought dissipated.
"Heh, not let me off? You’d have to be able to find me first," Li Qian chuckled lightly.
If he hid, who could find him?
Next, Li Qian swept away all the monsters and Demon Sect members within Xia Capital.
In the end, he came to an area where quite a few humans lived.
These people were all sent in by the Demon Sect as gifts from the gods, ranging in age from teenagers to over thirty years old, both male and female, belonging to the most vigorous stage of life, and the first choice for monsters.
How to lead these people out became a problem.
The entire Xia Capital was shrouded in fog from the great array.
Since he had eliminated the monsters, he couldn’t just leave these ordinary people to die in the array, could he?
"There’s no time to break the array, just destroy it," Li Qian thought to himself.
Since Lion Camel Demon City was there, these arrays here didn’t hold much value anyway.
With this thought, Li Qian took a deep breath, and a powerful Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent surged out, covering the sky and the earth. In an instant, the sky changed color, and one could vaguely see an enormous net appearing above, as if it were about to descend from the heavens.
"Indeed, too strong forces cannot be used, or it would provoke backlash from the barrier of the Human World," sighed Li Qian.
So, he toned down the intensity of the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, as Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathered, creating a terrifying Sword Qi stretching a thousand feet. With a wave of his hand, the terrible Sword Qi slashed down. Combined with a fearful booming, the rolling fog was completely torn apart.
It was as if the sky was turning over and the earth was splitting, buildings were collapsing.
With him as the origin, his sword created a terrifying chasm that stretched over twenty or thirty miles long and a hundred feet wide, almost as if half of Xia Capital was split in two.
Moreover, the position he attacked was exactly the weak spot of the entire Great Array.
Wuuuu...
With a series of vibrations, the initially accumulating fog began to dissipate.
In less than half an hour, Xia Capital was completely exposed under the sunlight.
After doing all this, Li Qian left Xia Capital directly.
As for the rest... the local Dao Prefecture would take care of it.
He believed that Taiwu Dao Master would notify the Dao Masters of Great Xia right away.
In fact, less than half a day after Li Qian left, people from the local Dao Prefecture arrived in Xia Capital.
They looked at the huge chasm that was split by the Sword Qi in the air and were shocked.
Even the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial was the same.
"Martial Saint, I did not expect that a Martial Saint would truly emerge in the Human World."
He was somewhat incredulous when he had received the notice.
But now... With such power, a single sword strike split the demon array of Xia Capital, which was enough to prove the point.
