Two quarters of an hour later, the Ghost King and King Wumeng had successfully led hundreds of snow mountain monkey beasts close to Wushuang City.
In the icy snow-covered land, other than the howling cold wind, there were the angry, shrill cries of the snow mountain monkey beasts as they ran.
Feeling the powerful Yin Qi Spiritual Power emanating from the Ghost King and King Wumeng, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body inside Wushuang City abruptly opened her eyes and immediately left the room to fly to the top of the city walls.
"Your Majesty!" Soon after, Zhao Chong and Qian Feng also arrived behind her.
Not long after, the form of the Ghost King transformed into a mastiff beast, appearing clear amidst the swirling snowflakes, above it, tens of thousands of blood-red crows clustered densely, forming what seemed to be a dark cloud.
"It's the Ghost King and King Wumeng!" Zhao Chong said, "What are they doing coming to Wushuang City alone in the middle of the night?"
"It's not just the two of them!" Qian Feng's brows furrowed slightly, his gaze as hazy as ever. He had already heard bursts of angry, piercing cries amidst the howling wind.
"Are the Ghost King and King Wumeng here to court death?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body mused, puzzled. As soon as the words left her lips, she suddenly saw streaks of green light behind the mastiff beast.
In that green light, there were pairs of angry eyes.
"A group of giant snow monkeys!" she exclaimed.
At that moment, the three of them finally saw the hundreds of snow mountain monkey beasts behind the Ghost King and King Wumeng. They were leaping up and down in the snow, desperately chasing the two figures, while furiously roaring.
"Those must be the ancient snow mountain monkey beasts spoken of in legends," Qian Feng spoke, "They come from the Polar Ice Land, and usually only migrate south during extremely cold periods."
"So, the Ghost King and King Wumeng want to use these snow mountain monkey beasts to deal with us!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said disdainfully.
"The ancient Spiritual Power in these snow mountain monkey beasts is very profound," Qian Feng sighed as he watched them.
Zhao Chong looked at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and asked for instructions, "Shall I now call for more archers and soldiers to deal with them?"
After pondering for a while, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body shook her head, her eyes revealing a murderous intent, "What is there to fear from a mere few hundred snow monkeys, let them come!"
"This." Zhao Chong was bewildered, "Could it be that Your Majesty you are..."
Zhao Chong had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by the roar of the mastiff beast; the Ghost King had already approached within a hundred meters of the city walls.
Immediately, the night watch archers on the walls shot arrows at it.
The mastiff beast stopped advancing and let out a roar toward the heavens, a fearsome Spiritual Power aura exploded from within it, spreading outwards. The accumulated snow on the ground within several hundred meters was flung into the air, and the archers who had shot at the mastiff beast were also destroyed.
Subsequently, the mastiff beast leaped toward the top of the city walls, towards Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Qian Feng, and Zhao Chong. Although there were nearly ten thousand guards on the wall, it was impossible for him to contend against so many alone, but to escape from amongst ten thousand was not difficult for him.
And so, it successfully led a snow mountain monkey beast into Wushuang City.
The tens of thousands of blood crows atop the mastiff beast's head suddenly split into two groups, with a very small contingent turning southward to fly away; the other followed the mastiff beast in an attack on Wushuang City's walls, and also led the snow mountain monkeys into Wushuang City.
As the mastiff beast that the Ghost King had transformed into leapt up from below and closed in, just as Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Zhao Chong, and Qian Feng were about to make their move, the mastiff beast stepped harshly on the wall a few meters below them, and using the force, changed direction following the few hundred blood crows that were flying south.
And with that forceful collision, it directly demolished the nearby walls, causing the soldiers above to sway and shuffle, amidst the crowded turmoil, several soldiers unfortunately fell into the destroyed ramparts.
Following that, as the Ghost King's incarnation, the mastiff beast, suddenly changed direction, many of the snow mountain monkeys who were chasing it were unable to stop in time and likewise crashed into the wall, then rolled down to the snowy ground below the wall.
In the air, the tens of thousands of blood crows had already descended from the sky and arrived in front of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, with Zhao Chong and Qian Feng, followed closely by nearly a hundred snow mountain monkeys.
Just as the group of blood crows started to self-combust, Zhao Chong's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and a powerful surge of Yin Qi Spiritual Power erupted from within him, engulfing the group of blood crows, instantly shattering the self-combusting blood crows, narrowly avoiding a disaster.
Seeing this, the nearly hundred snow mountain monkeys behind let out panicked, piercing howls, immediately halting their advance, and landed on the snowy ground.
Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body looked towards the south and saw in the distance, the huge mastiff beast and the small group of crows had transformed back into the Ghost King and the Dark Law King, hidden in the clouds watching her, their faces seemingly bearing malicious smiles.
Just then, "swoosh swoosh swoosh," countless arrows imbued with Yin Qi Spiritual Power flew out from atop the walls, targeting the snow mountain monkeys lured by the Ghost King and King Wumeng below.
Arrows fell like rain, and the bulk-bodied snow mountain monkeys struggled to dodge, with many being struck or grazed by the arrows, leaving behind greenish blood.
Another barrage of arrows fell, and the snow mountain monkeys grew extremely enraged, their fury now fully directed at the guards on the walls of Wushuang City, and then they leapt up in retaliation.
Confronted by pair after pair of hostile monkey eyes closing in, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly shouted loudly, "All of you, stop shooting arrows."
Then she stood up, jumped onto the city wall railings, and said, "Leave these monkeys to me alone!"
Having said that, she leaped from the wall and met the group of charging snow mountain monkeys. As she drew near, a blindingly bright blaze of firelight suddenly appeared in the snowy night, instantly melting the floating snowflakes and the nearby ice that was more than a meter thick—Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had transformed into a firebird spreading its wings.
Upon seeing the firebird, the snow mountain monkeys, who feared the flame and the scorching heat, let out deafening screams, panicking and fleeing in terror.
The firebird pursued closely, its beak spewing flames at the nearby snow mountain monkeys. In a short time, it had chased them for a mile, and the snow it had passed over melted into a river, clearly marking its trajectory while chasing the snow mountain monkeys.
Besides the melted snowwater, the path was also strewn with over a hundred charred corpses of snow mountain monkeys.
Seeing this, the Ghost King and King Wumeng were deeply disappointed, having not expected the effort they took to lure hundreds of snow mountain monkeys to be cleared away by the firebird.
The blaze faded, and the firebird transformed back into Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.
"Let's go," said the Ghost King, then, together with King Wumeng, they departed in disappointment.
Soon after, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body returned to the top of the walls, while below, the snow mountain that had just been melted by her reformed into ice, and heavy snow covered the corpses of the snow mountain monkeys, as if nothing had happened at all.
