(2 more updates) Imperial City West Gate.
Ling Feng sat at the front of the carriage, eyes closed in ditation, while Yue Tengfeng appeared sowhat anxious, as he had no certainty about the “Mysterious Demon Emperor” Ling Feng had ntioned.
How could such a Demon Emperor Level expert easily agree to help Ling Feng?
Ti gradually passed, and finally, a long procession slowly erged from the Imperial City, led by Wen Tingguang and Liu Hongzhang, gradually approaching.
It was indeed the Tianyang Empire’s envoy group returning to the palace after an audience.
The leading General Xiahou Lie still had a sowhat pale face, clearly not yet recovered from the palm strike inflicted by Housekeeper Wei yesterday.
Seeing Xiahou Lie and the others coming out, Ling Feng and Yue Tengfeng exchanged a glance, knowing that the critical mont was approaching.
From afar, Xiahou Lie spotted Ling Feng waiting outside the palace gate, his brow slightly furrowed, flashing a hint of killing intent.
He already despised this youth who had made him lose face utterly.
“General Xiahou, as agreed, we have brought Prince Nangong of your country.
You may now take him back,” Wen Tingguang said indifferently while walking beside Xiahou Lie.
“Hmm, I am aware,” Xiahou Lie replied, holding a golden helt in his right hand, rely nodding slightly.
Since he was not aligned with King Jing’s faction, he naturally did not have much respect for Nangong Yin.
Soon, Xiahou Lie and his party walked out of the Imperial City.
Yue Tengfeng imdiately drove the carriage forward to et them and, clasping his hands towards Xiahou Lie, laughed and said loudly, “General Xiahou, Prince Nangong has been brought here.”
“Very well.” Xiahou Lie pulled back the curtain of the carriage and indeed saw Prince Nangong “sitting intact” inside.
Prince Nangong, upon seeing Xiahou Lie, was so moved that he almost burst into tears.
He was about to rush out of the carriage when a series of terrifying roars ca from the sky.
Suddenly, a guard ca galloping in panic, exclaiming, “It’s bad!
The demons…
the Demon Beasts from Heavenly Position Mountain Range and West Forest Plain are rioting!”
“What?”
Wen Tingguang’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He imdiately grabbed Ling Feng and, working with the Imperial City Guard, began to organize a defense, while Yue Tengfeng hurriedly announced that he needed to enter the palace to report the situation.
“Ha, even the mighty Imperial City can be disturbed by Demon Beasts.”
Xiahou Lie sneered.
He naturally would not help the people of the Sky White Empire defend against the Demon Beasts and even seed to relish the disaster.
“Let them fight, the more people that die, the better!”
Xiahou Lie secretly delighted in his heart.
As for the envoys from the Tianyang Empire behind him, they were naturally happy to stand back and watch, hoping that the Demon Beasts would breach the Imperial City.
“This matter doesn’t concern us; let’s return to the hostel first.”
Xiahou Lie looked towards the carriage, his mind slightly puzzled.
Normally, Nangong Yin was quite violent and noisy, but today he was exceptionally silent.
However, he did not think too much of it and simply bowed to Nangong Yin inside the carriage, saying faintly, “Prince, let first take you back to the hostel.”
Nangong Yin hastily nodded, a cold gleam in his eyes as he began to devise his plan for revenge, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
“Alright, then I will…”
Before Xiahou Lie could finish his sentence, he saw the sky darken as if a huge foot was stomping down.
Xiahou Lie’s eyelid twitched wildly, instinctively kicking the carriage away before leaping backward several ters.
But, to his horror, although he had kicked the carriage away, another dark foot stomped down from the sky, and with a “crack,” the carriage was smashed into pieces, and inside, without a doubt, Nangong Yin also beca a patty, utterly crushed!
Boom!
A huge footstep landed on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Xiahou Lie raised his head, his eyes bulging, the hard-earned return of Nangong Yin had just like that, perished?
“Monster!”
Xiahou Lie trembled with rage, imdiately withdrawing his Fiery Fla Beheading Great Saber, he soared into the air and ruthlessly slashed at the massive creature.
“Red Fla Kill!”
Xiahou Lie channeled all his Primordial Qi, and in an instant, blade light crisscrossed, fiercely slashing at the demon in the sky.
However, his once confidently executed killing move failed to break through the demon energy Barrier on the monster’s surface and was violently repelled.
“Puh!”
Rebounded by the rolling demon energy, it felt as though Xiahou Lie’s chest had been smashed by a heavy hamr; he spit blood and was sent flying, nearly losing his life.
After all, he had been severely injured the night before, and Xiahou Lie could only exert a re forty to fifty percent of his strength.
“My God, what kind of demon is that!”
“Such… a tough demon!”
The guards of the city were dumbstruck, imdiately drawing their bows and shooting frantically, vigorous winds piercing through, while arrows rained down like a storm, crazily targeting the demon shrouded in black demon energy in the sky.
Swish swish swish!
However, no matter how dense the arrows, they could not break through the protective barrier around the demon, which seed to have no intention of attacking the Imperial City, simply “passing by” in the sky, swiftly flashing across above the Imperial City, and disappearing in an instant.
Of course, it inevitably crushed a few buildings and temples along the way.
“Monster, don’t you flee!”
Within the Imperial City, there were naturally Emperor-level experts.
Sensing the Demon Emperor-level strength, they imdiately stirred these monstrous figures usually in secluded cultivation, each soaring into the sky and chasing after the demon.
However, under the pursuit of several Human Emperors, that demon suddenly vanished into thin air, as if it had never appeared.
With the disappearance of that demon, the low-level demon beasts that were rampaging and assaulting the city gates also imdiately dispersed like the tide, and peace was finally restored.
Xiahou Lie struggled to his feet, his gaze turned to the mashed carriage, and from amidst the ruins, he saw a pile of flesh, which was naturally the unfortunate Nangong Yin.
“This…”
Xiahou Lie’s forehead imdiately broke out in sweat; this had happened right under his watch, and moreover, the people of the Sky White Empire had clearly returned Nangong Yin.
Even if one wanted to bla, it probably couldn’t be blad on the Sky White Empire.
Rather, it was he who had grossly neglected his duty, failing to protect Nangong Yin completely.
“General Xiahou, what should we do now?” a Tianyang Empire’s envoy behind him asked quietly, looking at the badly mangled corpse on the ground.
“What to do?
What to do?
All you know is to ask what to do?”
Xiahou Lie clenched his fist tight; monts ago, he was still gloating, and now the joy had indeed turned to sorrows.
After a long while, Xiahou Lie took a deep breath; while the demon attacked earlier, they stood by and watched.
Now it’s probably the turn for the people of Sky White Empire to secretly gloat.
This heavy responsibility, in the end, falls squarely on my shoulders, impossible to shake off.
“Take care of the Prince’s body and return to the hostel first.”
Xiahou Lie gritted his teeth; for now, it might only be appropriate to see how the Eleventh Prince decides to handle this.
