Traveling has broadened her horizons and enhanced her vision. Combined with her understanding of the elders, Anya was convinced that Zixu's strength was not far from Yufie's, but it was impossible to reach the level she saw in front of her.

As if noticing the girl's gaze, the gray-robed youkai turned his face sideways and opened his mouth with a little satisfaction.

"That's the Heavenly Demon Mirror, located in the inner city of Xiyang, to protect against any invading enemies - such as the Empire." He raised his eyebrows, looked at the place where the gods disappeared, and sighed, "The alliance has long passed the era of single-handedly king, Anya. What supports the alliance is the decision after proper weighing, as well as the power to unify the demon clan. It no longer matters if anyone makes decisions without careful consideration. ”

Anya didn't reply. She pursed her lips tightly and met Zixu's gaze, with no panic or loss in her heart. For some reason, the girl instinctively believed in the "god" and believed that she would not be defeated so easily.

In the silence, it was still Lian who chuckled, and her crisp voice seemed a little abrupt, but it couldn't make people disgusted.

"After all, it's because you're too weak. So is the strength, and so is the spirit. Lian shook her head from side to side, the bow at the back of her head swaying back and forth with her movements, "Speculating on others with your own measurements will cost you a lot." ”

As if in response to Lian's words, white snow flakes appeared out of thin air beside the gray-robed monster. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a blade of ice and snow carving, straight through each other's chests—

In the next moment, the blade disintegrated into countless ice crystals, scattered, swirled, and reunited into the form of Kanna.

The woman in white floated gracefully and indifferently at a height of a foot above the ground, seemingly unharmed. And opposite her, there was Zixu who covered his chest with one hand and looked angry.

"I am the messenger of ice and snow, the embodiment of winter. As long as winter exists, I will exist. The god looked at the gray-robed youkai, and his tone remained calm, "You can't kill the season, therefore, you can't defeat me." ”

"Don't be a sensationalist!" Zixu raised his hand violently, and the gray vortex condensed in his palm, "Just a monster, let me personally prove that you are just a name!" ”

The god was silent, and he no longer looked at the monster on the other side. Snowflakes and frost fluttered around her, then spread around her. The sky began to darken, and a chilly wind began to blow—

Winter has arrived.

Anya blinked. A wall of crystal ice surrounded her and the stars, keeping the wind and snow at bay. The rest of the people near the clearing, except for Lian and another blue-haired woman, turned their eyes to the woman in the center of the frost with blue faces, I don't know if it was because of the cold or something else.

"That's it." In the wind and snow, only Lian's smile was still crisp, "This climate is amazing!" Don't you think so? ”

"Who knows." The blue-haired youkai lazily replied, "If you like, you can move in with her." ”

"I don't go to that lonely place." Lian pouted, "There's nothing delicious to eat, and it's too boring!" ”

The two chatted casually, but the rest of the youkai didn't have such leeway. The wind and snow had escalated into a storm of magical power, and while far from lethal, it was literally draining the physical strength of every elder.

"What are you waiting for, are you going to let her continue to be arrogant like this?" Zixu shouted in annoyance, "Don't hurry up yet!" ”

Not everyone responded to his request. Nearly half of the elders didn't move, and a youkai with an eagle's head shrouded in a faint golden light glanced at Anya and turned around to leave.

"I know who she is, and I'm afraid you too." He said in a high-pitched voice, "For the sake of the 'king's face, I think it's probably not bad to listen to Anya's little girl's opinion. ”

"Thank you, Elder Xi." Anya muttered softly to herself.

This youkai, who is good at manipulating light and heat, is the strongest among all the elders, and his words are naturally extraordinarily weighty.

Under Xi's influence, the rest of the monster elders, including the two who initially asked Anya questions, walked out of the clearing one after another, saying that they would give up challenging the gods. Lian waved vigorously at the girl behind the ice wall, and was reluctantly pulled out by the blue-haired woman.

The rest of the elders were not going to throw in the towel. Colorful mystical techniques swooped down on the god's nowhere to go, or swept through the clearing. They tried to avoid the ice wall that protected Anya, after all, it was one thing to ignore the authority of the demon king, and it was another thing to hurt her.

However, all was to no avail. Youkai who can become elders are naturally not weak, and their strength is enough to melt ice and snow, extinguish storms, and even turn the earth beneath their feet. But with the slightest relaxation, the wind and snow will return, and it will be more violent than the previous moment.

White-clad elves fluttered in the air. Her figure seems to be everywhere, and it seems that it can never be touched. Even if she was shredded by arcane magic or claws, she would soon reappear intact, neither agitated nor showing a hint of weakness.

As she said, as the embodiment of the seasons, no one can defeat her if no one can kill Winter.

"Why?" A blue-skinned youkai looked at Anya and asked a little unwillingly, "You have such power, why did you choose to live in seclusion in the wilderness, and why did you agree to help her?" ”

"I've never been in seclusion. The White God Mountain was there, so I was there. Kanai shook his head and replied blandly, "As for her, it's a hard-working child, don't you think." ”

"What's the use of mere effort!" Zi Xuan said angrily, "If you don't have enough strength, no matter how hard you try, it's just redundant talk!" ”

"So I chose to lend her strength." Kanna's figure finally became solidified, and the phantom of Hakugami Mountain slowly rose from behind her, looking down on the entire city under the setting sun.

"I saw the future starlight from her heart." She raised her hand and pointed at the gray-robed youkai, "You can't stop her from advancing, so stand down." ”

The wind and snow in the sky converged into a bundle and pounced on the gray-robed monster with a stiff face. Zixu tried to resist, but the fierce storm blew him straight away, slapping him to the ground with a disgraced face.

The wind and snow slowly stopped, and the ice wall that protected Anya also dissipated. The gray-robed monster got up, looked at the people around him, and then looked at the girl who was the demon king, and finally sighed, looking a little relieved.

"I lost." He shook his head, no longer as aggressive as he had been at the beginning, "Say, our king, what are you going to do?" ”

Anya walked to the center of the clearing, turned around, met the elders' gaze, and bowed slightly.

"I need to agree with everyone about what needs to be done." She frowned slightly, as if she remembered something sad, "I hope that one day in the future, not only youkai, but all other intelligent beings will be able to make the alliance their home." ”

The girl's voice spread outwards and quickly dissipated into the air.
