After Ji Qiuyu gave the order, her deputy began to move swiftly, and soon the soldiers of Black Moon City were ready for battle.
Compared to before, the soldiers of Black Moon City, even when facing a Demonic Tide, were no longer as tense as they had been in the past because they knew their Deputy City Lord could suppress the Demonic Qi.
As long as their Deputy City Lord was there, even if they faced a Demonic Tide of the scale they had last ti, they could easily withstand it.
However, at this mont, Ji Qiuyu's expression was not good; she looked worriedly at the accumulating Demonic Qi in the distance. Previously, the Demonic Qi did not gather so early, and today the speed of its accumulation had clearly accelerated. It had just begun, and the Demonic Qi had already beco so dense, covering half of the sky over the Sealed Demon Grounds.
Sothing must have happened in the Sealed Demon Grounds!
Could it be that the Heavenly Demon had broken the seal? Thinking of this, Ji Qiuyu's heart grew even more anxious.
After a while, the Sealed Demon Grounds began to stir, affecting Black Moon City as well, causing the entire city to tremble as if so giant creature was moving within the Sealed Demon Grounds.
At this mont, a soldier shouted hastily, "Quick... Look, ... everyone, look!!!"
The soldiers on the city walls hurried to look toward the Sealed Demon Grounds, and what they saw stunned everyone.
A gigantic body erged from the Sealed Demon Grounds, seeming to be composed of the demons within the Sealed Demon Grounds.
This...
This was the first ti since Ji Qiuyu had been in charge of Black Moon City that she had seen such a massive demon that could step over the city walls and directly enter Black Moon City with its height.
At this mont, the soldiers on the city tower were thrown into chaos.
"What... What is that?"
"How can there be such a gigantic demon?"
"Could it possibly be the Heavenly Demon?"
"My God! The Heavenly Demon has broken the seal!!!"
...
Except for Lu Chen, no one present had ever seen the Heavenly Demon; the Heavenly Demon existed only in their imaginations, presud to be imnsely huge with a terrifying oppressive aura.
Now, the creature in the Sealed Demon Grounds, in their eyes, was no different from the Heavenly Demon.
Thinking that the giant could be the Heavenly Demon, the soldiers shook uncontrollably. Ji Qiuyu snapped back to reality and quickly commanded, "All Demon-breaking Arrows aim at that giant!"
Ji Qiuyu also suspected that the giant might be the Heavenly Demon, as she had never seen the Heavenly Demon herself.
Thinking that the Heavenly Demon had broken the seal, Ji Qiuyu felt an imnse fear in her heart; she was never scared before, but now she feared the Heavenly Demon.
According to historical records, encountering the real Heavenly Demon ant not only getting killed by it; the Heavenly Demon would also imprison the cultivators' souls, slowly tearing them apart, using the cultivators' souls as food.
It was better to die directly and have one's soul destroyed, rather than suffering the torture of the Heavenly Demon if one was not fully dead and fell into its hands.
Lu Chen took a mont to observe the giant and found that it indeed possessed a strong Heavenly Demon Power, but compared to a real Heavenly Demon, the giant's Heavenly Demon Power was nothing significant.
Clearly, that giant was not a real Heavenly Demon but a demonic body constructed by the Heavenly Demon using its power to control the demons in the Sealed Demon Grounds, likely aiming to directly break the blockade of Black Moon City and let the demons spread out.
While Lu Chen was lost in his thoughts, Ji Qiuyu asked him next to him, "Lu Chen, do you think that is the Heavenly Demon?"
Lu Chen ca back to his senses, turned to look at the pale-faced Ji Qiuyu, and smiled as he said, "Its Heavenly Demon Power is nothing compared to that of a real Heavenly Demon."
Hearing Lu Chen's reply, Ji Qiuyu was stunned for a mont. Lu Chen's words made it sound as if he had seen a real Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, how could he know that the giant's Heavenly Demon Power was far inferior to that of a true Heavenly Demon?
Ji Qiuyu curiously asked, "Have you seen a real Heavenly Demon?"
In the Ziyang World, there was only one Heavenly Demon, and it was sealed in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. How could Lu Chen possibly have seen a real Heavenly Demon?
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I indeed have seen a real Heavenly Demon."
Ji Qiuyu was taken aback.
She then continued to ask, "There's only one Heavenly Demon in the Ziyang World, sealed inside the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. How could you have possibly seen a Heavenly Demon?"
Lu Chen replied, "The specific reason, I will tell you when the ti cos."
Ji Qiuyu looked at Lu Chen skeptically and tentatively asked, "You're not a Demon Cultivator, are you?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I possess the power to restrain Heavenly Demons. Do you think that Heavenly Demon would accept and let beco a Demon Cultivator?"
Ji Qiuyu thought about it and it seed true. If Heavenly Demons knew of Lu Chen's existence, they would definitely try everything to kill him, rather than allowing him to beco a Demon Cultivator.
But then it beca strange. When had Lu Chen seen a Heavenly Demon?
Could it be...
Ji Qiuyu suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that Lu Chen's original body had lived for who knows how many years? Was he present when the Heavenly Demon was sealed back in the day, and did he luckily survive? So, did Lu Chen see the sealed Heavenly Demon at that ti?
In that case, wouldn't Lu Chen be of the sa generation as her own ancestors?
Ji Qiuyu imdiately stopped herself from continuing with these wild thoughts. In the Cultivation World, having a Daoist couple with a thousand or even ten thousand years age difference wasn't anything strange.
Upon this realization, Ji Qiuyu gathered her senses and focused all her attention on the giant in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.
Ji Qiuyu then cautiously asked Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, that's a huge demon. Are you confident you can handle it?"
Although Lu Chen could restrain Demonic Qi, the demon looked very powerful, and Lu Chen's power was ultimately limited. She was not sure if he could handle this gigantic monster.
Lu Chen said indifferently, "Don't worry. As soon as this monster dares to leave the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land, I will imdiately take action and destroy it."
Although the demon looked very powerful, Lu Chen also noticed its weakness. This demon was made up of countless other demons.
As long as he, with his power to restrain Demonic Qi, approached the giant, the demons in that giant's body would imdiately start struggling to detach from the giant's body. Then, the giant would disintegrate.
Moreover, his restraint of Heavenly Demon Power was absolute. Even if that giant possessed Heavenly Demon Power, it would have no chance against the Demon Burying Spell.
As ti ticked away, the giant grew increasingly larger, and the Demonic Qi grew stronger. Soon, the entire Black Moon City was enveloped in darkness.
The sun had not yet set, but the spreading Demonic Qi completely covered the sunlight from the setting sun.
The next mont, the giant, stepping with massive footsteps, walked directly towards Black Moon City.
At this mont, a soldier ran up to Ji Qiuyu and said, "City Lord, Commander Bai has co with reinforcents!"
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu scoffed. She still rembered Bai Wenbin fleeing last ti. In her view, Bai Wenbin now dared to offer support probably because he felt it was safe with Lu Chen around.
However, regardless of his motives, his coming to help was for the benefit of Black Moon City, the Great Chu Dynasty, and the entire Ziyang World. Ji Qiuyu had no intention of turning Bai Wenbin away.
