Chapter 912: The Other Side of Jinghong Mountain
In the year 1352 of the Fengmo Calendar, the Kingdom of Norma, the Kingdom of Gran, the Desert Kingdom of Kerte, and the Lord of Westwind City, Godfather, gathered together for a brief meeting.
Following the conclusion of this meeting, an unprecedented war between the Human Alliance and the forces of the demons commenced!
Humans, setting aside their millennia-long internal conflicts, united as one. They dispatched multiple armies simultaneously from three directions, entering the Jinghong Mountains to launch an assault against the demons.
On the other side, the demons, lacking the leadership of their demon lord and suffering significant losses among their capable fiends, were unable to withstand the onslaught from the humans. The ferocious demons, for the first time, felt the might of humanity. While fiercely resisting, they also gradually retreated.
In the same year, the Pope of the Church of Darkness was assassinated by the queen in a coastal fishing village. The Templar Knights of the Church of Darkness was disbanded, and all the archbishops of the Church of Darkness proclaimed allegiance to a new Church of Darkness. The old Church of Darkness thus faded away and never appeared in the world again.
Lost City became the second free trade port of the Kingdom of Gran, bearing immensely important maritime trade responsibilities alongside the coastal metropolis, serving as a bridge between the Fengmo Continent and the Maya Continent.
In the same year, the Church of Light of the Kingdom of Norma experienced a severe internal upheaval. The Archbishops of the Church of Light, vying for the position of Pope, launched a brutal civil war. Meanwhile, Norma was fully focused on battling the demons, and this untimely internal strife within the Church of Light disheartened the populace and enraged the Hero King.
The Hero King personally traveled to Westwind City, inviting the new Cardinal of the Church of Light, Eddie, to establish the first “New Church of Light Cathedral” in the capital city under the protection of the Royal Guards. This marked the beginning of spreading the doctrines of the New Church of Light.
The followers who had been manipulated by the old Church of Light for over a millennium wouldn’t betray to the side of the New Church of Light in the short term. However, as their disgust for war and yearning for a better life grew, they finally began to seek an understanding of the “New Church of Light.” Under Eddie’s guidance, a significant number of people switched allegiance to the New Church of Light.
Behind closed doors, the archbishops of the old Church of Light engaged in chaotic infighting until they realized that trouble was brewing.
Some visionary individuals couldn’t help but ponder: since the old Church of Darkness was already finished, how much longer could the Church of Light survive? Without the support of the Hero King, it probably wouldn’t last much longer.

Under the scorching midday sun, the sun in the sky was unbearably harsh.
A caravan was slowly advancing along the rugged yet majestic Ancient Tea Horse Road. The members of this caravan were all natives of Big Tang. With rabbit heads and human bodies, they were dressed in long robes and wearing horseshoe-patterned hats, a style of clothing distinctly different from that of the people of the Kingdoms of Gran and Norma.

They didn’t know how long they had been on the road. Every rabbit person’s face was covered in sweat, and the perspiration soaked their fur, causing the rabbit hair to clump together. They looked quite disheveled.
The leader of the caravan was none other than Shang Yang, a rabbit merchant. He frequently traveled between Big Tang and Westwind City, bringing countless homeland delicacies that made Robb inexplicably excited.
This time, Shang Yang had brought along a master in making malt candy from the East. He knew that nothing pleased Godfather more than good food. The arrival of this malt candy master was sure to prompt Godfather to shower him with praise.
Therefore, Shang Yang was full of energy and leading the group at a brisk pace.
Among the caravan, there was a rabbit slightly different from the others. He wasn’t involved in carrying goods or sweating profusely. Instead, he wore a bamboo hat, had a long sword at his waist, and carried a large cloth bundle on his back. He looked quite impressive, silently following the caravan.
After who knows how long, the rabbit with the large bundle looked up at the sky. He approached Shang Yang and asked in a deep but full voice, “Mr. Shang, how much farther is it to the Kingdom of Gran from here?” His voice was low but full of vigor, displaying considerable presence.
Shang Yang took out a map and showed it to him, saying with a smile, “We’re still quite a ways off. Look, we’ve just left Longyin Pass. We haven’t even reached Chibi yet. We still have many mountain roads to traverse before entering the borders of the Kingdom of Gran.”
The rabbit with the large bundle carefully studied the map for a moment and exclaimed, “So far? I thought we were almost there.”
Shang Yang said, “Traveling to Western kingdoms is never that easy.”
The rabbit with the large bundle pointed at several markings on the map and said, “I always thought Longyin Pass was the western border of our Big Tang’s great decree. Why do we have markings like Wildfire City, Chibi, and White Emperor City outside the pass? Are these also territories of our Big Tang?”
Shang Yang shook his head and whispered, “The borders of Big Tang only extend to Longyin Pass. As for the markings of Wildfire City, White Emperor City, Chibi, those are all places built by demons. We have to pass through these places on our journey, so it’s quite dangerous. We need to be cautious all the way.”
The rabbit with the bundle nodded. Though he didn’t voice it, his eyes didn’t seem concerned about the demons. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, obviously pondering something else.
“Anyway, Mr. Shang, please get me to the Kingdom of Gran as soon as possible. Right now, I just want to get as far away from Big Tang as possible,” the rabbit said.
Shang Yang had already noticed that this person had something on his mind. However, if the other party didn’t speak up, he couldn’t very well ask. After all, he had received a substantial fee for guiding him and his responsibility was to get him to the Kingdom of Gran.
“Alright, then let’s hurry on,” said Shang Yang.

As the two were discussing this, they suddenly heard a disdainful snort ahead: “Thinking of escaping to the Western kingdoms? Hmph! It’s not that easy!”
At these words, both Shang Yang and the rabbit with the long cloth bundle were taken aback.
They both turned their gaze to where the voice came from and saw a rabbit person standing on a treetop not far ahead. He was dressed in the attire of a swordsman, with a long sword at his waist. His body swayed with the treetop, and he had been there for who knows how long. His entire presence melded with the trees so seamlessly that when he wasn’t speaking, no one could notice him.
Shang Yang quickly stepped back a few paces and raised his hands in a placating gesture, saying, “I’m just a merchant, guiding him for a fee. Everyone has their own grievances and debts to settle. Your matters shouldn’t involve my caravan.”
Others in the caravan also immediately stepped aside, leaving only the rabbit holding the long cloth bundle in the middle of the mountain path. He raised his head to glance at the rabbit on the treetop and sighed bitterly, “Have you caught up with me again? I’ve left Big Tang and journeyed far to the West, yet you still relentlessly pursue me?”
The rabbit on the treetop sneered, saying, “Put down whatever’s in the cloth bundle on your back. You’re free to go wherever you like. But if you intend to take it with you, don’t even think about going anywhere.”
