Although the Great Wall blocked the demon race's attack, both Sword Pavilion and Dragon Emperor Island were breached.
Now the Demon Realm's great army has already charged into the Ten Thousand Laws Realm using these two directions as breakthrough points.
At this time, the Ten Thousand Laws Realm is organizing cultivators to conduct interception and defense.
But no matter how they intercept, it can be certain that in the coming long period, there will be many demons splitting into wave after wave of small forces, wreaking havoc throughout the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.
Because the demon army on this side of the Great Wall basically cannot amount to much, Xiao Mo plans to return to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm to stand guard.
"Are you leaving just like that?"
On the fourth day after the great battle at the Great Wall ended, atop the Great Wall, He Yeye turned around to look at Xiao Mo.
"Leaving," Xiao Mo nodded, "The situation in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm is not very good right now."
"Mm." He Yeye nodded, looking at the amber at Xiao Mo's waist. About one-third of the ice within the amber remained, "The merit you need to treat that dragon lady from the North Sea is still lacking somewhat. Go properly to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm to kill demons."
Xiao Mo was slightly startled, "It seems the City Lord knew long ago."He Yeye rolled her eyes at Xiao Mo, "This City Lord isn't an idiot. About your background, this old lady knew everything one month after you came to Ten Thousand Demons City."
"Here, take this." He Yeye handed over a short knife to Xiao Mo.
"?" Xiao Mo's eyes showed confusion.
"See that stone tablet?" He Yeye pointed to a large stone tablet at the top of the city wall, "Whenever someone has accumulated enough military merit, they can carve their name on it. This is the Great Wall's rule, and you have this qualification."
"I see." Xiao Mo smiled, "Then I won't be polite. It can be considered leaving a memorial for these decades at the Great Wall."
With these words, Xiao Mo threw out the short knife.
Under Xiao Mo's control, sparks flew as the short knife struck the stone tablet.
After a moment, the two characters "Xiao Mo" were carved into the stone tablet.
Including Xiao Mo, the stone tablet had fewer than a hundred names in total.
The name before Xiao Mo's was "He Yeye."
Xiao Mo returned the short knife to He Yeye, who casually inserted it into the sheath at her waist.
"By the way, I had my younger sister divine a fortune for you. Although my sister can't do anything else well, her divination skills are quite formidable, inheriting this from our old man."
He Yeye leaned against the city wall, arms crossed, looking at Xiao Mo indifferently, "My sister sent word the day before yesterday that within seventy years, you will face a great calamity."
Xiao Mo's eyelids lowered slightly, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly, "A great calamity?"
"Not afraid?" He Yeye tilted her head.
Xiao Mo smiled, "Can I avoid it?"
"You can!" He Yeye nodded, lifting her small foot to press her soft sole against Xiao Mo's instep, "Follow this old lady, stay at the Great Wall, and no calamity can kill you."
"Then forget it, I won't avoid it." Xiao Mo shook his head, "I still prefer to return to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm."
"Tch." He Yeye clicked her tongue, saying with dissatisfaction, "If you won't avoid it, then hurry up and scram!"
"Wait! Don't scram yet!"
Just after He Yeye finished speaking, she quickly changed her words, then threw a bamboo slip to Xiao Mo.
"The military merit you've accumulated is enough to exchange for an immortal weapon. What do you want to exchange for?"
Xiao Mo's divine consciousness swept through the bamboo slip, and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures appeared in his mind.
"This one." After Xiao Mo's divine consciousness selected something in the bamboo slip, he returned it to He Yeye, "If I die, please trouble the City Lord to personally give this to her."
He Yeye took the bamboo slip, saw what Xiao Mo had selected, raised her crimson eyes, and looked at Xiao Mo with a complex expression, "This is exactly why I really hate you scholars, so wishy-washy and pretentious! Scram, scram, scram, scram! Even after becoming a Confucian Sage, you're still like this, don't understand transcendence!"
He Yeye cursed and turned around.
Xiao Mo smiled and placed his written "Unity of Knowledge and Action" on the city wall, "Please also trouble the City Lord to help me deliver this book to Yuerou. I won't say goodbye to her, otherwise she'll insist on coming with me, which would give me a headache."
"So much nonsense." He Yeye pouted, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave soon, then don't leave at all!"
"Mo takes his leave here. May the City Lord take care." Xiao Mo bowed in salute, "Also, eat fewer candied hawthorns, they make your teeth sour."
"Mind your own business!"
He Yeye turned and threw the candied hawthorn stick, but the stick pierced only empty air.
That scholar had already disappeared without a trace.
"He's gone. How long are you going to keep hiding? Come out." He Yeye said huffily.
From the stairway, a woman dressed in a short jacket and skirt walked up.
"City Lord." Xu Yuerou bowed in greeting.
"You scholars are really strange." He Yeye looked at the graceful and dignified beautiful woman before her, "You clearly wanted to see him, but in the end you could only secretly watch. He clearly knew you were hiding at the stairway, yet he also pretended to know nothing."
Facing He Yeye's words, Xu Yuerou only smiled slightly, carefully picking up the "Unity of Knowledge and Action" that was being gently blown by the wind on the city wall.
"This time when he leaves, I'm afraid he won't return. Are you truly not going to speak clearly with him?" He Yeye asked.
"There's no need. The teacher wouldn't take me with him, so why should I add to his troubles." Xu Yuerou shook her head, gently caressing that copy of "Unity of Knowledge and Action," "Moreover, there's already a woman in the teacher's heart."
"What about you?" He Yeye tilted her head.
"Yuerou?" Xu Yuerou's eyes curved in a smile, holding her teacher's life's work to her chest, "Yuerou is naturally the teacher's most accomplished disciple."
After leaving the Great Wall, Xiao Mo used the technique of shrinking earth to inches, stepping toward the Ten Thousand Laws Realm step by step.
When Xiao Mo achieved sainthood, naturally there was a response from the Confucian Academy's Literature Temple.
Just as he returned to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, he heard news of being granted the title "Accompanying Saint."
The Confucian "Accompanying Saint" status is second only to the Academy Palace Master and the four great Academy Deans.
However, because Xiao Mo had already "achieved sainthood in the Confucian Dao," and the four great Academy Deans had not yet stepped down, Xiao Mo could only be granted the title "Accompanying Saint."
Actually, Xiao Mo's real status was second only to the Confucian Academy Palace Master.
After returning to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, Xiao Mo went to various battle lines to help stand guard.
In the thirty-year war between humans and demons, Xiao Mo guarded Kongxi City, eliminated one Immortal realm demon cultivator, three Jade Simplicity realm demon cultivators, twenty-five Nascent Soul realm demon cultivators, and killed one hundred twenty thousand demons.
In the thirty-sixth year of the human-demon war, Xiao Mo defended the capital of Great Chu, eliminated two Immortal realm demon cultivators, six Jade Simplicity realm demon cultivators, and killed one hundred thirty thousand demons.
In the forty-third year of the human-demon war, the human race's Profound Spirit Sect, Clear Moon Sect, and Divine Fist Sect colluded with the Demon Realm, betraying the Ten Thousand Laws Realm. Xiao Mo went to suppress them, leaving no human traitors alive.
In the forty-seventh year of the human-demon war, the Wei Kingdom among the ten great human dynasties fell.
In the forty-ninth year of the human-demon war, the Yan Kingdom among the ten great human dynasties fell.
In the fifty-first year of the human-demon war, the human race's western battle line completely collapsed. The human cultivators needed time to redeploy their defenses, so Xiao Mo stood alone with one sword at Shanhai Pass, blocking five hundred thousand demon troops for three years.
In the fifty-sixth year of the human-demon war, Xiao Mo fought with the Ascension realm great demon "Wan Xi."
Seven days later, Xiao Mo carried the head of the great demon "Wan Xi" and threw it before the five hundred thousand demon army, causing their morale to plummet greatly.
The next day, Demon-Suppressing City sent word to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm that He Yeye led the Black Armor Army to break "Heavenly Demon City," leading the army to kill into the Demon Realm's heartland, greatly shocking the demon race.
In the sixtieth year of the human-demon war, the human race began their counterattack.
