I Have a Golden Crow

On the Great Xia Continent, besides Great Xia, there are also some small countries scattered in the western part of the continent.

The Asa Empire is one of them.

Du Yu had once been to Gossoxone on a mission, and the Asa Empire is located to the north of Gossoxone, sharing a border with it.

Unlike the mountainous countries of East Persia and Gossoxone, the Asa Empire has many plains and lowlands, making the environmental conditions less harsh.

There are traces of Twin Trees there as well, after all, the Asa Empire and Great Xia are on the same continent.

Therefore, Du Yu could accept the occurrence of a Bottomless Abyss within the Asa Empire.

But right when the Bottomless Pit appeared, the Youhan Army showed up?

How is that possible?!

Doesn’t this mean that the Bottomless Gate wasn’t randomly opened, but was deliberately done by the Youhan Tree?

The Chi Ancestor once said that the Youhan Tree can only find contact points between two worlds, and then open a Bottomless Gate connecting the two worlds at the smallest cost.

If the Youhan Tree insists on opening a Bottomless Gate at a specific location, what is the cost?

Du Yu did not know.

Or did the Cold Tree detect the fusion point between the two worlds, but instead of opening the gate immediately, it quickly gathered troops?

If so, what has the Youhan Tree been doing all this time?

In the realm of Great Xia, there are numerous abysses, each one opening directly, and behind the Bottomless Gate, there was no Youhan Army poised to strike.

This...

Du Yu furrowed his brows tightly, becoming more puzzled the more he thought about it.

"Junior Brother! Junior Brother?"

"Hmm?" Du Yu snapped out of his thoughts, looked up at Fu Jianzhou, and only then realized that everyone was looking at him.

Fu Jianzhou: "Let’s go, it’s time to carry out the mission."

"Let’s go." Du Yu nodded immediately.

Lin Shiwei approached and whispered, "Master Qing wants you to bring us into the bell, then open the Void Axe, and go with her to the Kunlun Realm first."

"Oh." Du Yu flipped his palm, and the Ancient Bell appeared in his palm, "Help me fetch the Demon Soldiers from under the Twin Trees."

Lin Shiwei nodded slightly, and with the gathering of Bell Shadows, the people disappeared without a trace.

Du Yu found himself suddenly alone, with only Yang Qingqing and Li Jing left beside him.

Yang Qingqing suddenly said, "There is no need to panic; the Youhan Tree hasn’t reached the point of mutual destruction yet."

Du Yu’s expression slightly stiffened.

He was just thinking about another issue, but Master Qing’s words naturally reminded him!

In the image provided by Chi Ancestor, when Ancient Pine Tower City fell, wasn’t he in some distant place, chopping down the Youhan Tree?

"Du Yu." Yang Qingqing looked at her distracted disciple and couldn’t help but sigh lightly, waving her hand gently.

After all, he was just a twenty-year-old young man.

And Du Yu had finally found a place he could call home; his commitment to "home" was evident to all.

Du Yu took a few steps forward and stood in front of Master Qing.

Yang Qingqing placed a hand on Du Yu’s shoulder and spoke gently, "To prevent unexpected events, I’ve already reported the matter, and Great Xia will handle the issue with Ancient Pine Tower City."

It’s a disheartening fact that on this continent, nowhere is absolutely safe.

If the Cold Tree decides to go down together, any city could be destroyed.

But if people perish in Ancient Pine Tower City, then the blame would fall on Du Yu.

After all, it’s highly likely the Cold Tree is targeting Du Yu.

Yang Qingqing wouldn’t let Du Yu carry such a massive sin, hence her actions.

She changed the subject and continued, "But there are still tens of thousands of Bottomless Pits in the world, and every Cold Tree Branch is invading the Twin Tree Realm.

The Youhan Tree is far from being pushed to the point of mutual destruction.

According to Chi Ancestor, forcibly opening a Bottomless Gate comes at an enormous cost."

The gentle words of the woman soothed Du Yu’s restless heart.

Du Yu nodded gently, acknowledging that his master made sense.

Yang Qingqing continued, "I don’t believe the Cold Tree deliberately chose to target the Asa Empire.

This time, the Cold Tree should have seized the chance of the worlds’ contact and followed the momentum.

As for the presence of the Youhan Army, perhaps after seeing our strong resistance over such a long time, the Cold Tree has changed its strategy of invasion.

Perhaps the other side had already assembled its troops, scattered throughout the Youhan Realm, waiting for an opportunity."

Du Yu remained silent, indeed considering this possibility.

If the Youhan Tree still wants to win, it wouldn’t be "cutting off its own limb," because, for the Cold Tree, it still holds the upper hand.

But no matter what, these are just Master Qing’s conjectures.

Yang Qingqing: "I’ve already gone downstairs and taken the Golden Leaf from home, so you don’t need to worry.

Now we need to focus on the mission; once we catch a Cold Race member, all the information will become clear."

Du Yu nodded heavily: "Alright!"

Yang Qingqing patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Let’s go."

Du Yu turned around and waved his hand sharply.

As the Illusory Axe Blade passed through his palm, a Spatial Rift rapidly tore open.

Yang Qingqing stepped forward and glanced at Li Jing on the side: "You return to the bureau immediately."

"Yes!" Li Jing responded solemnly, watching as his master and junior brother disappeared into the void.

In late October, the snow was falling heavily at the Kunlun Peak.

Wearing a gray tracksuit, Du Yu was in no mood to notice, and as soon as he appeared under the tree, a Withered Spirit Branch reached out.

Du Yu immediately inquired, "Divine Tree, how are things on the Asa Empire’s side?"

The Divine Tree spoke seriously, "Not good! I can bind the Bottomless Cold Tree, but I’m powerless to stop the Youhan Corps.

The Demon Tamers in that area are not strong enough to stop the invasion of the Youhan Corps."

Hearing this, Du Yu felt his heart tighten.

The Divine Spirit Branch touched the left of Du Yu’s chest, infusing a surge of Spiritual Qi into the Shenfeng Acupoint: "Hurry and get here, sever the Cold Tree Root, and seal the Bottomless Gate.

Otherwise, the Youhan Army might surge indefinitely."

"I understand." Du Yu turned around to see Yang Qingqing standing with a group of soldiers behind her.

Du Yu stepped forward quickly: "Where is Elder Feng? Can he take us directly to the Asa Empire?"

"The Wind Saint can only go to places he’s been before, and he’s not here at the moment," the leading soldier said solemnly, "Please follow me, both of you."

Yang Qingqing suddenly waved her hand, unfolding a painting scroll.

Immediately, Du Yu felt a pulling force.

Yang Qingqing’s gaze swept over the top of the scroll, looking at her apprentice across from her: "Go invite the Mountain Saint, and make all necessary preparations!

Then take the others and stand by at the Celestial Gate."

"Yes!" Du Yu left a single word before being absorbed into the Jiangshan Map.

Du Yu was unaware of how the military arranged for Master Qing to go to the battlefield, nor did he have the mind to care.

Upon entering the painting, he opened the Mountain and Sea Bell from high in the air, heading straight for the Mountain Realm.

Senior Brother Fu and Senior Sister Jiang were standing at the Peak of All Mountains, but Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei were nowhere to be seen.

Du Yu didn’t fall onto the mountain peak but flew directly towards the dark clouds.

Watching the rapidly receding figure of his junior brother, Fu Jianzhou looked at the woman beside him: "Senior Sister, don’t be shy, and don’t be polite with our junior brother.

Enhancing our combat power and protecting everyone in the team is the best way to repay each other.

You’re currently free of two acupoints; that’s not how a Savior should be.

The Yue Mountain Lion overlaps a lot with your Demon Beasts and Demon Skills, but the Mountain Ghost Forest·Charming Ghosts really suits you."

Jiang Feng pursed her lips and nodded gently: "I’ll ask him when he gets back."

"He will definitely agree." Fu Jianzhou looked up at the dark clouds, watching the figure gradually disappear, full of confidence in his words.

"Yes, he will definitely agree." Jiang Feng sighed slightly; her junior brother’s care for those around him was almost boundless.

The longer Jiang Feng stayed in the team, the more she understood everything.

Whether it was the master or the junior brothers and sisters, their Demon Pets and Spiritual Artifacts were almost all connected to Du Yu.

This even included Holy Soldiers!

Junior Brother Du Yu even paired Junior Brother Fu with a Holy Weapon·Cold Lake Sword!

When Jiang Feng first heard about this, she was completely stunned.

However, Junior Brother Fu’s skills were somewhat lacking, needing to improve before he could wield the Cold Lake Sword.

According to what Junior Brother Fu said, he had already touched the threshold and might advance at any time.

Unfortunately, this invasion happened suddenly, leaving Fu Jianzhou with no time to advance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng sighed deeply.

The Youhan Tree was as sinister and filthy as ever, just like a dozen years ago when it invaded Shiyan City, giving people no time to react.

"Nai~"

"Nai!" Soon, the deer call of Bai Lu and Yiren came from the distant west.

The journey back and forth, less than 20 kilometers, was a matter of moments for the Dust Spirit Deer clan.

The two of them carried bows and axes and rode the deer down to the mountain peak.

However, their expressions were grave, and no one spoke.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Fu Jianzhou said: "Junior Brother is coming."

"Hmm?"

"Where is Du Yu?"

Just a simple name seemed to bring the two back to life, making Fu Jianzhou sigh inwardly.

Before he could say anything, a burst of electric light suddenly flashed beside him.

"Zizi~Zi~"

On the way there, Du Yu could only fly quietly on the road.

But on the way back, he already possessed heaven-reaching means, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

The role of Demon Taming was indeed extremely special.

Because the strength of a Demon Tamer was determined by the strength of their Demon Pets.

Du Yu had an additional Supreme in him, which wasn’t just a matter of a power surge, it was an explosion!

"Junior Brother." Jiang Feng was a decisive person; since she had made up her mind, she wouldn’t hesitate.

"What?" Du Yu took the Divine Demon Bow, slung it over his shoulder, and readily received the Fire Age Axe.

Jiang Feng immediately stated the matter of contracting the Enchanting Demon.

As expected, Du Yu agreed without hesitation: "Okay!"

After pondering briefly, he added: "Senior Sister, this mission involves the Youhan Army, which is extremely dangerous and consequential.

Contract the Mountain Ghost Race Leader first, and after the battle, release the Mountain Ghost Race Leader back to the forest, and then choose a desired Enchanting Demon."

Jiang Feng said solemnly: "Understood."

Du Yu turned to Li Mengnan: "Your Fire LuLu is with me. Go to Black Sheep Ridge and contract the Black Sheep Race Leader."

Li Mengnan: "Black Sheep?"

Du Yu nodded heavily: "Go quickly, I’ll let the Jia Rong Grass notify it, hurry back."

"Okay, okay." Li Mengnan rode on Yiren, quickly flying north.

Du Yu stomped his foot: "Lion Bone Scythe? Lion Bone Scythe!"

"Buzz~"

The vast mountain body trembled slightly.

Du Yu called out Bai Yujing, mounted the deer, and looked back at Lin Shiwei: "Bring the Jade Dragon Lion Bone Scythe with you, follow me closely on the battlefield.

The Baojun can appear anytime, use it as needed."

"Understood." Lin Shiwei turned to look at the tip of the scythe blade appearing from the ground.

"I’ll go call the Mountain Ghost." As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yujing was already airborne.

"Kid, feeling pretty serious, huh?" In his mind came the voice of Kui Chou.

"Kui Chou, the Supreme, the enemy is the Youhan Army." Du Yu responded, a trace of memory surfacing in his mind.

The last time they faced the Youhan Army, Master Qing nearly died on the battlefield.

"Nonsense!" Kui Chou cursed, "Last time, I wasn’t there, was I?"

"Right!" Du Yu’s eyes burned with intensity, "Kui Chou, the Supreme, is right!"

"Haha! Good boy!" Kui Chou laughed wildly, "Now you’re finally starting to look the part!"

Kui Chou wouldn’t praise someone without cause.

Because he sensed in Du Yu’s heart a strong killing intent!

It was a killing desire never before perceived in Du Yu, a heart boiling with murderous intent!
