n

n“Not good, not good, not good!”

n

nA guard in tattered clothes ran into the City Lord Manor in a panic and knelt in front of Ye Qiluo.

n

nYe Qiluo was discussing how to further strengthen the defense of the city wall.

n

n“Actually, I thought that the current fortifications were enough. Moreover, if we continue to stack more defenses, not only will it be very bloated, but it will also easily cause some negative effects.”

n

nThe sudden intrusion of the guard interrupted everyone’s conversation. They all turned their gazes to the guard.

n

n“What happened?”

n

nThey looked very relaxed now. Not to mention that the defense outside the city had been built very completely, there was also such a powerful person guarding here. It would not be easy for the rotten fish and prawns outside to attack.

n

nOriginally, Rong City was filled with a very cheerful atmosphere. Everyone felt that this situation was very beneficial to the humans of Rong City. There was nothing to worry about.

n

nToday’s meeting was originally a very relaxed and normal meeting, but this good mood was disturbed by this person who had suddenly barged in.

n

n“City Lord, something happened outside!”

n

n“Tell me clearly, what happened? You’re so noisy the moment you come in. I think it’s fine outside. There’s no news from the city guards. Which department are you from?”

n

nThe person who spoke was the general of the City Defense Department. He thought that his defense of the city was foolproof and that nothing would go wrong.

n

n“General Ma, let him finish first. How did you become like this? Who attacked you and why were you so severely injured?”

n

n“The devils are here!”

n

n“What? How can there be devils?”

n

nAlthough the people in Rong City had heard some news about the arrival of the devils, they only knew that the devils were only restricted to a small area of Sea City and had never gone out again. Moreover, they had heard that those devils seemed to have been imprisoned by an expert and were all sealed in Sea City. They should be safe now. How could there be a problem?

n

nYe Qiluo was originally resting with her eyes closed and ignored this matter. However, when she heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and asked the guard, “Where did you meet them?”

n

n“Three hundred miles outside the city!”

n

n“Three hundred miles?”

n

nThis distance was too close. If the vanguard team wanted to advance here, it would not take long for them to reach Rong City.

n

nWhen everyone present heard this distance, they exclaimed involuntarily. They only thought that even though the devils had been stirring up trouble in Sea City, they were very far away from them. However, when they opened their eyes, they were already under their noses. This was too terrifying.

n

n“Pass down the order. Immediately gather all the troops you can mobilize to prevent the devils from invading. This matter cannot be delayed.”

n

nIt was fine if they fought with those human rebels, but if they really faced these devils, the pressure on them would be much greater. These things came and went without a trace, killing people invisibly. If ordinary soldiers like them were not on guard, their lives would be reaped on a large scale.

n

nAfter receiving this news, the entire Rong City was mobilized. Anyone with combat strength was transferred to the defense line. As more and more information was obtained from outside, the decision-makers in Rong City knew more about the trajectory of the devils.

n

nThese things were indeed from Sea City, but according to the news they had originally received, these devils had been trapped in Sea City. They would not be able to break out in the short term.

n

nHowever, for some reason, they ran out on their own yesterday. Moreover, they were not much weaker than they said. Instead, they were very strong. It was unknown where they got the replenishment from.

n

nThey did not obtain any useful information about this. All they knew was that the devils had spread out with Sea City as the center. They were gradually approaching Rong City.

n

nMoreover, it seemed to be mainly heading towards Rong City. If they continued to spread at this speed, it wouldn’t be long before they surrounded Rong City.

n

nThe tense atmosphere in Rong City naturally could not escape Li Yuanqing’s eyes.

n

nLi Yuanqing was puzzled as he watched the guards rush over. Rong City had just escaped from a predicament some time ago. It should be peaceful for a period of time now, but why did it seem like something had suddenly happened?

n

n“Young Master, this is the city defense structure you’re looking for.”

n

nHall Master Wang carried a thick stack of books to Li Yuanqing.

n

n“What happened outside? Why is everyone in a hurry?”

n

n“Young Master, how would I know? However, it seems like they’re going to the front line. I feel like there’s going to be another war. What’s there to fight now? There shouldn’t be a war anymore, right?”

n

nHall Master Wang knew the same as Li Yuanqing. He did not know what had happened at the City Lord Manor, but the people outside were so flustered.

n

nLi Yuanqing stopped a little fellow who was passing by. That person was in a hurry and was originally focused on walking forward. In the end, he inexplicably felt like he was being pulled by something and slowly deviated from his original path.

n

nNot only was the track off, but it was also getting more and more ridiculous. It turned a corner and landed on the mountainside below, arriving at the entrance of the library. He looked at the situation in front of him in a daze. He did not know why he had landed here. This was too fast. Moreover, he could not leave no matter how hard he tried. It was as if he was imprisoned by something.

n

nHe looked up and saw Li Yuanqing and Hall Master Wang standing in front of him. The two of them were looking at him with a smile, feeling that they had ill intentions.

n

n“Hall Master Wang…”

n

nLi Yuanqing smiled at him and asked, “What happened outside? Why is everyone so flustered? Where are you going?”

n

n“The sentries who returned earlier reported that they had discovered the devils in the southwest. The City Lord immediately gathered everyone and rushed forward to strengthen the defense. We can’t let the devils get close!”

n

n“Devils?” Li Yuanqing asked in confusion, “Are you sure it’s the devils? But as far as I know, those devils should be trapped in Sea City and can’t come out. Why did they appear here?”

n

nThe young man scratched his head and replied helplessly, “I don’t know about that, but that’s what the people who came back before said. It shouldn’t be fake. I’m afraid we won’t know the details until we get to the front.”

n

nLi Yuanqing frowned and looked in the direction of Sea City. Those devils had clearly been drained of all their strength by the Great Devil King and no longer had any combat strength. So why did they suddenly appear now? Moreover, they became so powerful. This was not right.

n

nSomething must have gone wrong.

n

nWithout another word, Li Yuanqing disappeared from the spot. The young man who was waiting for his answer was still looking at the place where he was standing in a daze. Little did he know that when he looked over, there was no longer anyone there. Only the equally dumbfounded Hall Master Wang was left.

n

n“Hall Master Wang, I…”

n

n“You can leave first. There’s nothing else for you to do here.”

n

nThis guy was stopped in a daze and now he left in a daze. The entire process seemed to have nothing to do with him. He came down to say a few words and was casually sent away.

n

nHall Master Wang was looking at the sky. Li Yuanqing’s movement technique was too fast. He could barely tell which direction Li Yuanqing had gone, but he did not know what Li Yuanqing was going to do.

n

nThe City Lord had instructed him to serve Li Yuanqing well. Now that Young Master Li had hurriedly run away, what was he going to do? What if something happened to him?

n

nHall Master Wang thought that he should go over and inform the City Lord first in case anything happened.

n

nOn the other hand, Li Yuanqing left the library in a hurry and headed for Sea City.

n

nThe passageway between the two cities was filled with many people. At this moment, they had already activated their defense. After the previous incident, their emergency response to such a crisis was much stronger than before.

n

nThere was a defensive position every ten kilometers from the city wall. They advanced steadily step by step, determined to turn everything within a hundred miles of Rong City into a stable defensive area.

n

nLi Yuanqing was not too interested in these things. He just took a casual look and rushed straight to the frontline. He wanted to see what had happened. After leaving Rong City for another two hundred miles, he could see a thick layer of dark clouds covering the sky. These dark clouds were constantly approaching.

n

nIn these unusual dark clouds, there was a very terrifying and powerful pressure. This pressure seemed to come from his bloodline, like some kind of eternal fear. Just by looking at these things approaching from afar, he could feel the very painful pressure spreading in his heart.

n

nThe soldiers at the front line wrapped themselves tightly. They had heavy armor sent by the City Lord Manor that was barely enough to resist some of the pressure.

n

nHowever, the soldiers at the front line were still facing a very serious challenge.

n

nTheir first defense line was the first to bear the brunt. They faced the approaching devils directly because they wanted to trap the devils here and not let them advance at all. They also had a huge mission on their shoulders.

n

nThey had built a thick defense system here. The wall made of special materials was extremely thick.

n

nThese walls were pitch-black, and the inside of the walls seemed to emit a faint fluorescent light that kept spreading out. The black fog that spread in from outside seemed to be devoured by the fluorescent light as it touched the wall, it dissipated on the outside of the wall.

n

nAlthough the devils outside were very arrogant and the aura emitted from inside was extremely domineering, they were clearly afraid of these special materials and did not dare to advance rashly. They were blocked by the thick black city wall.

n

nThe human guards did not dare to relax at all. There was a fixed sentry post every ten meters, and they had to guard it strictly. They had to keep an eye on the defensive position below at all times. If there were any problems, they had to report it immediately.

n

nIt had been many years since the human race had faced the devils, but it seemed to be alright. There were not many problems.

n

nA group of people was changing shifts at the city wall below. After relaxing for a while, they suddenly seemed to see a person standing in the sky. That person did not look very old, and his figure was not particularly important. He stood in the sky and faced the dark clouds quietly.

n

nMoreover, it was completely not protected by the defense system. This was too terrifying. Those dark clouds could immediately devour anything. As long as it was exposed in front of them, it would immediately become their meal. However, this fellow was actually standing there without any protection.

n

nMoreover, those devils seemed to not have noticed him at all as they flowed outside very calmly.

n

n“What’s wrong with that person? Is he crazy? Why is he still standing there at a time like this? Hurry up and call him back!”

n

nThe two people who were changing shifts could not care less at this moment. They hurriedly shouted, wanting to call Li Yuanqing down from the sky.

n

nHowever, Li Yuanqing did not care about this at all. Instead, he rushed forward as if he did not hear their shouts.

n

n“What are you doing? Are you going to die? Come back quickly!”

n

nThe shout behind him summoned a large group of people. These people all noticed Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the sky. They all saw this lunatic. This fellow seemed to be courting death as he rushed towards the demons. What was he doing? Why couldn’t he live well? Did he have to die?

n

nThey kept shouting behind him, but these shouts were useless to Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing still rushed over resolutely and disappeared into the dark clouds.

n

nEveryone on the city wall fell silent. They watched helplessly as a living life died in the mouth of the devil. Those devils were not easy to deal with. They would not let go of such fresh meat.

n

n“Where did this guy come from? Why did he suddenly go there? Hurry up and find out what’s going on.”

n

n“Hurry up and report this matter!”

n

nEverything on the city wall was so quiet, but this sudden incident disrupted everyone’s plan.

n

nEveryone knew that the devils were very bloodthirsty. If this fellow suddenly rushed up and aroused the bloodthirst of these devils, he would be an eternal sinner.
