According to what Daoist Guan had told me, the border between the Demon Clan's territory and the Human Clan's territory was at the place where the Mountain and Sea Realm Gate had opened.
However, when I arrived there, I discovered that the specific address Daoist Guan had given me wasn't the Mountain and Sea Realm Gate, but a place about 50 kilometers away.
In front of me was a wasteland with a clear dividing line in the middle. Although there was Ancient Savage Energy in the air where I was standing, it was much thinner.
On the other side, the Ancient Savage Energy in the air was so thick that it almost blocked my vision.
It was obvious that this was the border between the Demon Clan's territory and the Human Clan's territory.
I didn't dare to rashly approach and just stood in the distance, spreading my spiritual sense to search for auras in the surroundings.
After a while, I frowned.
With my current spiritual sense, it wasn't difficult for me to search for auras within 50 kilometers. However, the strange thing was that I couldn't find Wang Can's aura, nor could I sense any aura of the Demon Clan.
According to common sense, it was impossible for the Demon Clan's territory to have no people patrolling the border between the two clans' territories. Since I couldn't sense any aura, it was highly possible that the Ancient Savage Energy in that area had blocked my detection.
However, this wasn't a big deal. What scared me the most was that I couldn't sense Wang Can's aura. It was possible that something had happened to him.
I started to get anxious, but I couldn't find anything. I concealed my aura and went to the wasteland, heading toward the border.
As I got closer, I could clearly see the situation at the border. Not only was there a distinct wild ancient aura, but there was also a clear barrier that separated the two races' territories. However, that barrier wasn't fixed and was slowly moving forward at a speed that was discernible to the naked eye.
I now understood why the border wasn't at the Mountain and Sea Realm Gate. It turned out that the Demon Clan's territory was constantly expanding.
I didn't know much about the Ancient Savage Energy or the Demon Clan's power, but the expansion of the Demon Clan's territory wasn't a good thing for the Human Clan. It seemed that I would have to discuss this matter with Daoist Guan when I returned.
With these thoughts in mind, I didn't get too close to the barrier. Instead, I searched left and right, looking for signs of a battle.
While searching, I was a little worried. After all, the Demon Clan's barrier was moving forward. If Wang Can had already entered the Demon Clan's territory, I would have to find a way to get in.
In this way, the risk was much greater.
Although he had heard Duo Ji introduce some of the situation in the Demon Realm, it was basically ancient matters, and he was still ignorant of the specific situation.
Fortunately, my worries didn't come true. After searching for a short while, I sensed a remnant of energy a few kilometers to the left. Immediately after, I saw a pile of broken limbs and corpses. There was scarlet blood all around and the yellow soil on the ground had already been dyed brown. A thick stench of blood wafted towards me. The ancient aura in this area was also much thicker than in other places.
My heart tightened, and I quickly went forward to check. When I got closer, I found a person standing among the pile of corpses. However, this person's body was filled with monster aura, and it was obvious that he wasn't a human.
I had been searching for a long time, but I didn't discover the existence of this demon. Clearly, his cultivation is above mine.
I didn't dare to be careless. I stopped around ten meters away and carefully checked the pile of corpses. Then, I found a man covered in blood holding the Pangu Axe. I guessed it was Wang Can.
As I was close to him, it was impossible for the monster to not notice me. However, he didn't pay attention to my approach. He bent down and tried to take the Pangu Axe from Wang Can's hand.
Since we were facing each other, it was impossible for me to dodge. Moreover, I was worried about Wang Can's current situation. I didn't hesitate anymore. I shouted and used my wizard energy to control the Shapeshifting Technique. Several dark green swords appeared in front of me and shot towards him.
The monster was very arrogant, and he didn't stop moving. Instead, he sped up and took the Pangu Axe from Wang Can's hand. Then, he leaped up and dodged my attack.
I used the Shapeshifting Technique with anger, but this man could easily dodge it. His cultivation base was above mine.
After leaping up, he didn't land but stood there, looking down at me. He didn't look happy.
At this moment, I saw his appearance. He was wearing a yellow brocade robe. He looked very young, but he had a luxurious aura. It seemed he had a high status in the Monster Clan.
Besides that, he had a human face and a human body, but there were two bumps on his head. I couldn't tell what kind of monster he was, and I couldn't tell if he was the half-beastman Duo Ji had mentioned.
While trying to figure out the monster's identity, I took the opportunity to land in front of Wang Can and check his condition.
Although I still couldn't sense Wang Can's aura, it was hard to detect him when his aura was extremely weak. I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart.
When my hands touched Wang Can's body, I felt cold. My heart sank.
What I didn't want to think about had happened. At this moment, Wang Can's aura was completely gone.
I didn't care about my identity as a Saint, but I had known Officer Wang for several years, and I had long regarded him as my friend. After confirming this fact, I was enraged. I took a deep breath and raised my head to look at the monster in the sky.
He was still floating there, as if he didn't care about my anger. He just looked at me with a playful face. His eyes were full of disdain. It seemed he didn't care about me at all.
In my anger, I didn't care that I was in the Monster Clan's territory. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to kill this man to pay for Wang Can's death.
I opened my mouth and spat out the Xuanyuan Sword. The Taoist energy in my body burst out and flowed into the Xuanyuan Sword.
At this moment, the monster in the sky was surprised. He clapped his hands and laughed. "It's the Xuanyuan Sword … It's easy to get it!"
Then, his eyes lit up. His monster energy surged as he dashed toward me.
I had to admit that the monster was extremely fast. Before I could react, he had appeared in front of me. However, he didn't attack me. Instead, he stretched out his hand to grab the Xuanyuan Sword.
At this moment, I was trying to urge the Xuanyuan Sword's power to the maximum. Subconsciously, I was ready to fight back. But when I found that his hand had grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword, I stopped.
This was the Xuanyuan Sword!
It was so sharp that I didn't need to use my Taoist energy to cut off a person's hand. Even a cultivator with high cultivation couldn't do it!
So, I temporarily stopped, waiting for him to suffer a setback. Then, I would take the opportunity to attack him. But what happened next shocked me.
After the monster grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword, his fingers weren't hurt at all. Instead, he tried to take the Xuanyuan Sword away from me.
Then, I reacted and urged my sword energy to cut at the monster's hand that was holding the Xuanyuan Sword.
Under my control, the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword increased several times. The monster finally frowned. His hand trembled a few times, but in the end, he retreated and dodged the Xuanyuan Sword energy.
"How dare you compete with me for the Xuanyuan Divine Sword!"
The monster seemed to be angry, but the greed in his eyes became stronger. After dodging the Xuanyuan Sword energy, he wanted to attack me again.
In the short confrontation just now, I had a little understanding of his strength. At this time, I didn't dare to be careless. I was about to urge the Yang God power in my Life Palace.
However, at this moment, the Demon Clan member suddenly stopped in his tracks.
I thought he was going to change his move, but then I found that the Pangu Axe in his other hand had suddenly changed.
The Pangu Axe had gathered Primordial Chaos energy. At this time, it seemed to be stimulated. The Primordial Chaos energy suddenly jumped and expanded in the air, wrapping the entire axe.
In the next quarter of an hour, an incomparably tyrannical power suddenly appeared from the chaotic aura. A white light shot out, its speed was as fast as lightning. Even my eyes couldn't follow it as it directly shot into the forehead of the Monster race at the side.
After that, the white light disappeared, and I saw a white-robed old man appear next to the Pangu Axe.
At this time, he held the Pangu Axe in one hand and pressed his other hand on the monster's forehead.
The sudden scene made me almost unable to believe my eyes.
What kind of power was this? That monster, whose strength was at least at the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm, couldn't even react before dying?
Just who was this white-robed old man?
At the same time that I was shocked, a strong wind suddenly kicked up in the quiet wasteland. After the sandstorm passed, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly shone with a multicolored light.
Immediately after, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sky became clear again. The multicolored light turned into a ray of light that was tens of thousands of meters long and fell on the body of the white-robed old man.
This strange and indescribable scene made me think back to the scene when Suan Ni broke the Mountain and Sea Realm Gate.
However, the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm Gate was a big event, so it was normal for strange phenomena to occur. But this old man in front of me was alone, and yet he could cause such a phenomenon. It was really frightening.
While my mind was shaken, the monster's head exploded under the white-robed old man's finger, turning into a mist of blood.
Then, his headless body fell from the sky and mixed with the blood and corpses on the ground.
Then, the white-robed old man's gaze shifted to me.
At that moment, all the pores in my body seemed to open up. His gaze seemed to seep into my body and wander back and forth.
I couldn't tell if it was because I was frightened or shocked, but my consciousness blurred for a moment. I didn't know how much time had passed, but the white-robed old man suddenly sighed and his gaze finally left me.
Although he was standing far away, his sigh seemed to be right next to my ear.
As soon as he sighed, a white light flashed, and he appeared in front of me. However, he didn't pay attention to me. Instead, he bent down, picked up Wang Can's body with both hands, turned around, and walked away.
His steps were very slow, but after one step, he was already on the horizon. I could only see his blurry shadow on the horizon.
After the second step, even his shadow disappeared.
