A few hundred miles away from the Jiang tribal clan's Grand Prince Palace.
It was a small village that originally had about a thousand people, but after the invasion of the demons, there were less than half of them left alive.
No one knew where these demonic creatures had come from, so they needed the King's Palace to send a Dragon Warrior to investigate.
It took less than half a day to travel from the Grand Prince Palace to the village that was invaded by the demons. The Jiang tribal clan's dragon-shaped airship was fast.
At noon on the day of departure, the group landed near the desert village. A total of thirty people headed towards the village.
Before coming over, everyone's mission had been assigned, so there was no need for too much communication.
The leader was a powerful Dragon Warrior of the Divine Martial Arts Realm called Jiang Tu.
This time, he was the only God Martial realm dragon warrior to lead the team.
8000
He did not understand why Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening were sent to participate in this mission, but he did not say anything.
"Everyone, do your jobs and move quickly. Don't let me see you slacking off!"
Jiang Tu roared and got everyone to rush to the village.
Without any delay, everyone rushed to the village.
Kang Shin-mu discovered that the village entrance was dyed red with blood. There were many demon corpses, but there were no human corpses. The villagers' corpses had been cremated and buried.
The day before, there was news that a few wandering dragon warriors from the nearby cities had helped clean up the demons that had invaded the village. Now, there should be no more demons left in the village.
Fortunately, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening's mission was to search for traces and clues of the demons, and try to find the source of the demonic aura's corrosion.
If they were guarding a village, they probably wouldn't encounter so many monsters.
Among the wandering Dragon Martial Artists in the nearby cities, there were basically no powerful Dragon Martial Artists in the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Even if there were, they wouldn't care about the survival of this small village. Therefore, the Grand Prince's Palace was the only place this village could call for help.
The Jiang tribal clan was guarding the area, so they naturally had the obligation to get rid of the demon beasts and demons that had been corroded by the demonic aura.
Soon, everyone arrived at the village and saw a tragic scene.
Blood was spilled everywhere, and many houses had collapsed due to the invasion of the monsters. It was not wrong to describe most of the people in the village as broken and dead.
Many wandering dragon martial artists were still patrolling the village, not letting go of any demonic creatures that might appear.
When they and the villagers saw Kang Shin-mu and his group of Dragon Warriors coming over, none of them seemed to have a good expression on their faces. This made Kang Shin-mu feel a little strange, he didn't know why they would treat him like this.
After all, they were also here to help.
However, he soon found out the reason.
There were some wandering dragon cultivators in the vicinity whispering to each other. However, Kang Shin-mu overheard them.
It was actually because he was late.
It did not take long for the people from the Grand Lord's Palace to rush over. However, it took them three days to send someone over. If it were not for the Wandering Dragon Martialists, the village would have been destroyed during this period of time.
As for those wandering dragon martial artists, they wouldn't be able to obtain anything from this rescue operation at all. Instead, their lives would be in danger.
In other words, those wandering dragon martial artists had come with the goal of saving people. In comparison, the Grand Lord's Palace's dragon martial artists were indeed not as noble as those fellows.
However, Kang Shin-mu had no other choice.
This was arranged by the upper echelons of the Jiang Clan's Grand Lord's Palace. If he had come alone, he could have arrived a day earlier, but what was the use of coming alone?
Jiang Tu acted as if he did not hear the whispers of the surrounding wandering dragon martial artists.
He entered the village to check on the situation. After discovering that there were no demonic creatures, he waved his hand. "Everyone, move out. Those who defend the village, find a place to rest. If any demonic creatures appear, kill them immediately.
The rest of you, search in the direction we were assigned. "
Outside the village, one of the directions was a stone forest, while the other three directions were deserts.
Before coming, everyone's duties had been assigned. As the area was vast, there was a need for so many people from the Grand Lord's Palace. After all, it was impossible to search with only a few people.
The village had been attacked by demonic creatures from all directions. Most of them were not at the Earth Demon level. They had been corrupted by demonic aura and transformed. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the wandering dragon martial artists to kill them all.
However, since there were so many ordinary demonic creatures, there were bound to be stronger demonic creatures. It was just that they did not know where they were.
Therefore, they needed people from the Grand Lord's Palace to search everywhere. They had to eliminate the root of the problem. That was what the higher-ups said.
Before Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening came, they had already decided to search in the direction of the stone forest. The stone forest was inaccessible, and there were often Earth Demon level demonic beasts there. It was impossible for ordinary villagers to go there.
Just like the Driving Heaven Forest, it was a habitat for demonic beasts. However, it was not as densely populated as the Driving Heaven Forest.
After all, there was a Driving Heaven Beast King in the Driving Heaven Forest, and in this stone forest, there were only wild stray demonic beasts. It would not form a demonic beast group like in the Driving Heaven Forest.
Because the terrain of the stone forest was more complicated, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening chose this direction. The other three directions were all deserts. If there was any special situation that required Kang Shin-mu to use special means, it was likely to be seen by others.
Together with the two of them, there were three other dragon martial artists searching in the direction of the stone forest.
One of them was already an expert at the eighth layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm. He chose to act alone.
The other two were around the fifth and sixth layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm. They also chose to act together, but they were separated from Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening.
Among the thirty people who came this time, there were not many dragon martial artists who inherited the True Dragon blood essence. In addition to the leader Jiang Tu, there was another young woman who guarded the village. That young woman was a genius of the Grand Lord's Palace who had turned into a dragon two years ago. Her name was Jiang Fengqing.
Jiang Fengqing was a serious person. In the Grand Lord's Palace, she could be considered an expert with a promising future. This time, she accepted the task mainly to guard the village and ensure that there would be no accidents in the village.
Not only did she inherit the True Dragon blood essence, but she had also reached the ninth layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm. She was only a step away from the God Martial Realm.
After all, the inheritor of the True Dragon blood essence received very rich cultivation resources from the Grand Lord's Palace, far more than other dragon martial artists. Therefore, the improvement of her cultivation base was naturally much faster.
