When the small embroidered ball fell from the sky, the entire southern part of the city went mad.
They rushed frantically towards the direction where the embroidered ball was landing.
So were pushed to the ground, countless people trampled over them, yet not a single one stopped.
"The embroidered ball is mine, all of you back off."
"Whoever dares to compete with for the embroidered ball, don’t bla if my knife doesn’t show rcy."
...
The entire south of the city turned into a marketplace, with countless people jostling, fighting, and creating chaos.
The ground was filled with cries of pain; even many were trampled to death.
Finally, when the red embroidered ball landed, a plain-faced youth managed to snatch it.
"The embroidered ball is mine, I got it," the youth held up the red embroidered ball in his hand, shouting loudly.
Seeing this scene, the people around began to hesitate.
They wanted to snatch it, but after all, the City Lord had spoken beforehand, and they did not dare to create chaos wantonly.
"Friend, how about you sell that embroidered ball? Na your price."
Soone unwillingly proposed from the side.
"Not selling," the youth shook his head and smiled, squeezed through the crowd, and strode towards the red carpeted stage.
Just as the youth was making his way forward step by step, a figure suddenly burst out from the side and took off into the distance.
The crowd didn’t even catch a glimpse of this person’s face before they saw the red embroidered ball being stolen away.
"Whoever snatches the embroidered ball, it’s theirs."
"Right, we’ve fought over it for so long, why should he get it so easily?"
Many such voices rose from around.
Once soone set the precedent, others who were unwilling did not fear anymore.
And the inducent of more and more people made matters worse.
The scene that had quieted down beca chaotic once again.
And this ti, the chaos was much more severe, as people unhesitatingly drew their swords against each other, fists and feet flying.
All to snatch a single red embroidered ball.
Xu Zii leaned against a large tree, watching this scene unfold, and with a light laugh, he said to Liu Changfeng beside him,
"Do you know any of those people just now?"
"What people?" Liu Changfeng frowned and asked.
"Those who were fighting for that red embroidered ball and those who caused the initial chaos," Xu Zii asked with a light smile.
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Liu Changfeng gave Xu Zii a deep look.
Eventually, he replied indifferently, "I don’t know them."
Xu Zii shook his head with a light chuckle and asked, "Have you ever heard a story?"
"Which one?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
"I don’t understand," Liu Changfeng said indifferently, shaking his head.
Xu Zii smiled and said no more.
When the chaos at the scene reached a climax, the entire city was in disarray.
Even the bystanders who had co to watch the show got involved, fighting amongst themselves.
Seeing this scene, Liu Changfeng turned to Xu Zii and said, "Brother Xu, I believe it’s ti for to take my leave."
"Don’t touch the Teleportation Array at the square," Xu Zii nodded and suddenly said this.
Liu Changfeng, with profound eyes, ultimately did not answer and left the place by stepping into the air.
Watching Liu Changfeng’s departing figure, Xu Zii pondered.
"The scent of blood is getting stronger, what on earth could it be!"
...
As the chaos continued to unfold on the square, even the guards who had been prepared for all eventualities could not stop it.
Suddenly, a bloodied man ca running over.
"City Lord, the Yishe Tribe is attacking, we nearly lost the North City Gate."
The man shouted loudly, but those below who were still desperately vying for the embroidered ball paid him no mind.
Lue Xiongying stood on the high platform at the head, eyes slightly narrowed, and said, "I understand."
He had only said half of his sentence when he heard a resounding "boom" coming from the north.
Soon after, explosions erupted simultaneously from the east, west, and south directions.
The enormous noise finally awakened the surrounding citizens who were scrambling for the ball, and they looked up in terror.
"Rumbling" sounds of surging floodwaters rose all around.
"Lue Xiongying, today shall be the day your Heaven Illuminating City falls."
As an angry roar ca from the sky.
Looking around Heaven Illuminating City, towering waves had been stirred up.
The sky started to darken, with clouds gathering in clusters above.
It seed tiny raindrops began to fall continuously from the sky, like a fine drizzle.
These towering waves, a hundred ters high, had enclosed all sides of Heaven Illuminating City.
Suddenly, the wind raged, the waves surged, and the sea churned up a storm that coalesced in the sky like it could uproot decaying trees effortlessly.
And on these towering waves, there stood countless figures.
These figures were all sea serpents.
Every one of them was a hundred ters long, with black and white skin.
Like zebras, they were covered in black and white stripes.
Their heads were oval-shaped, and under the reflection of the waves, their scales shone with a dazzling brilliance.
At this mont, on every one of these gigantic waves, countless sea serpents stood.
They flicked their tongues, and their two eyes were a greasy green.
Giant waves rose behind them, and with each slap of their bodies, they splashed countless waves.
Rumbling waves mixed with the roars of nurous beasts sounded deafeningly in the sky.
"Lue Xiongying, co out and et your death."
A light shout was heard nearby, followed by the sight of a figure treading the air, stopping in front of these sea serpents.
Clad in a black robe, it was Liu Changfeng.
And he was the king of this group of sea serpents.
Lue Xiongying’s Emperor Pulse Realm power reverberated around him, and he looked at the scene with little sign of panic on his face.
But those below were completely stunned.
"The Yishe Tribe has invaded, we’re finished."
"Everyone, fight alongside City Lord Lue, we might still have a chance."
"Even if we die, let’s make these beasts pay a price."
...
So stood dazed in place, so shouted lofty slogans, yet hid everywhere they could.
"So you’ve co after all," Lue Xiongying said with a faint smile as he looked at Liu Changfeng.
"Has the Yishe Tribe run out of people? Sending a little boy like you."
"What do you an?" Liu Changfeng frowned slightly, sensing from Lue Xiongying’s tone that the other side had known he would co.
"I had hoped to catch so bigger fish, what a pity."
Lue Xiongying shook his head slightly and said respectfully to the space beside him.
"Old Wen, trouble you."
As his voice fell, the space in front of him began to ripple in layers.
Space was torn open, and an elderly man in a blue long robe slowly walked out from it.
This elderly man did not exude a powerful aura, but when he stepped out, the whole heaven and earth suddenly fell quiet.
"Who are you?" Liu Changfeng asked with a frown.
The premonition in his heart had already turned uneasy.
"Wen Changgong, you can also call Blood Butcher."
The man in the blue robe said with a light laugh.
His eyes were very small, almost invisible when he smiled.
