Shanghai was once the headquarters of the Demonic Palace. It was originally an incomparably bustling and modern city of science and technology, ranked first among the eight great cities of the Asura World. It had an extremely high popularity in the entire Asura World, with a population of tens of millions, attracting countless wealthy merchants and experts to settle down.
However, four years ago, the four Great Emperors led an army to besiege the Demonic Palace, wantonly slaughtering and destroying it. The originally bustling city was completely destroyed, embarking on a path of decline and becoming a ruin. Thus, it was called the Ruins, or the Ruins of the Demon City.
Most of the people left on this land were refugees who had experienced the baptism of war under the protection of the Demonic Palace and survived.
They lived an extremely difficult life here, accepting the bullying and humiliation of the Four Great Emperors, only waiting for the day when their king could return.
When Ye Xuan stepped onto the ground, it was already three days later.
After Ye Xuan and Akasha reunited, the two sides agreed to meet again in the Conferred God Battle half a year later!
Actually, Ye Xuan originally planned to stay on Thousand Scorpion Island for two more days before leaving, but he received an emergency letter from Li Chunyang and the others.
Now that their whereabouts had been exposed, the Ghost King and the Barbarian King, the two great Demon King level figures under the Evil Emperor, had brought out all the experts of the Evil Emperor Pavilion to surround them, intending to use the God of Judgment, Limia, as bait to capture them all in one fell swoop!
Furthermore, according to reliable sources, the Evil Emperor, who was on the Thousand Scorpion Island, was on his way to the ruined city, threatening to personally turn Lin Feng and the others into ashes.
Therefore, the first thing Ye Xuan did after receiving the news was head towards the ruined city.
With the escort of the Fishmen, Ye Xuan's journey was extremely smooth. He arrived at the ruined city in just three days.
Stepping on the heavy ground, Ye Xuan's mood was extremely heavy and complicated as he looked at the city that should've stood majestically in front of him, but had now turned into a charred ruin.
Although he was still outside the city, this place was once incomparably bustling with activity and a sea of people!
However, right now, this place was overgrown with weeds. A few poisonous snakes were shuttling through the grass, heading towards the croaking toad in the distance in an attempt to hunt it down.
The surroundings were desolate. As far as the eye could see, not a single person could be seen.
Even the once smooth and bright asphalt roads were now covered by meter-tall weeds. It was so desolate that it made one's heart palpitate.
Ye Xuan still remembered that there was a watchtower built not far away. When he turned his head to look, he discovered that the watchtower that should have stood tall had long since collapsed and was engulfed by weeds. He could faintly see a few white corpses piled up on the side, and a few crows were gnawing on the remaining flesh and blood on the corpses, causing people to shiver in fear.
It was obvious that the watchtower had been destroyed in battle!
"Let's go!"
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and extended his hand to touch the head of the mutated wolf king as he spoke with a complicated expression.
"Roar!"
The Variant Wolf King let out a howl and charged towards the abandoned Shanghai at an extremely fast speed, startling the surrounding crows and causing them to caw as they flew into the sky. The toad that was about to become the prey of the snakes hurriedly jumped to the side, causing the snakes to quickly shrink back and disappear into the grass.
"Who is it?"
The Variant Wolf King's speed was very fast. It didn't take long for it to reach the city gate of the ruined Shanghai. Then, it was stopped by the guards that suddenly appeared from the bushes.
They were dressed in black iron armor and held long spears made of steel. There was a skull symbol on their chests. Coupled with their ferocious expressions, they looked very fierce.
They were the guards of the Evil Emperor Pavilion that were lying in ambush here.
Originally, they were waiting here to ambush a felon, but they didn't expect a stranger to barge in.
Ye Xuan's expression was extremely gloomy and unsightly as he looked at the ferocious Evil Emperor Pavilion guards and the dilapidated city walls that had traces of being charred by flames.
He could imagine the miserable state of the four emperors when they besieged Shanghai.
Presumably, every single member of the Demonic Palace had done their best to protect this land back then. Their bones were buried here, and they slept with the earth!
Ye Xuan turned around and swept his gaze to the side. He could see the bones piled up on the ground in the distance, and beside the bones were the badges that belonged to the members of the Demonic Palace. Even though the badges had already rusted, they were still so eye-catching in Ye Xuan's eyes, causing his expression to be filled with complexity and self-blame. His mood had also become abnormally heavy and uncomfortable.
Needless to say, he knew that it was a warrior of the Demonic Palace, a soldier that he was proud of!
Ye Xuan and the others didn't say anything as they jumped off the back of the Variant Wolf King. With a heavy heart, they walked towards the corpses with heavy steps.
"Brat, stop right there. I'm asking you a question."
"F * ck, are you f * cking deaf?"
"Kill him!"
Looking at Ye Xuan, who completely ignored them, the Evil Emperor Pavilion's guard's expression turned ugly. He let out an angry curse as he fiercely brandished his spear and charged towards Ye Xuan with a sharp killing intent.
"Little Huang, don't let them disturb me!"
Ye Xuan didn't turn around, nor did he stop. Instead, he coldly spoke.
"Roar!"
As the sound of his voice faded, the Variant Wolf King suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar. Its shrunken body suddenly expanded to become enormous, revealing its true body, causing the expression of the Evil Emperor Pavilion's guard to change drastically.
"Seven …" A Class 7 Magical Beast?
"Change …" Mutated Wolf King?
"" Run! "
"Quick, report to the commander!"
Seeing the Variant Wolf King that had suddenly revealed its true body, the Evil Emperor Pavilion guards let out terrified words. They abruptly threw down their spears, turned around, and ran …
They never would have thought that the brat's mount would actually be a Class 7 Variant Wolf King. That was a terrifying existence comparable to a Martial Monarch Stage powerhouse.
"Kacha …."
"Bam!"
Unfortunately, how could they outrun the Variant Wolf King? Before they could even take two steps, they were smashed into meat paste by the Variant Wolf King's huge wolf claws.
The ground cracked and cracks spread out in all directions. A huge wolf claw mark appeared.
The wolf claw mark was filled with the corpses of the Evil Emperor Pavilion guards.
The Variant Wolf King opened its mouth and spat out a flame, burning the corpses into nothingness.
These weak ants didn't even have the qualifications to be his food.
At the edge of the ruined city, there were a large number of camps. An expedition army from the Evil Emperor Pavilion was stationed here.
Following the enormous power of the Variant Wolf King's claw, many of the guards who were drinking and enjoying themselves in the camp were alarmed.
Some of them were making out with the women they had captured from the ruins of the city. When they heard the explosion, they walked out of the camp bare-chested and pulled up their pants.
Some of them were drinking and eating meat in the camp. When they heard the loud explosion, they held the wine cups in their hands and rushed out of the camp in a daze …
There were also people who were sleeping in the camp. Now that they were alarmed by the loud explosion, they sleepily walked out of the camp …
They looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with doubt.
"Damn it, what happened?"
"What's going on with this sudden explosion?"
"The sound came from the direction of the city gate. Could it be that something happened over there?"
The sounds of discussion came from their mouths.
"F * ck, what happened?" "You scared me to death!"
Along with the sound of cursing, a naked body walked out of the camp with one hand holding a woman with a pained expression on her face.
His name was Duan Wu, and he was the vice captain of the Evil Emperor Pavilion's expedition army. His strength was not bad, and he was a seven star Martial King. He could be considered a famous figure in the Little Evil Emperor Pavilion!
Not long ago, he brought some people to sweep through the refugee cave, and the harvest was not bad. He obtained a lot of materials and captured two beautiful girls. Now, he was having a good time inside, but the sudden explosion had disturbed his mood. He was so scared that he almost became impotent. It could be said that he was suppressing a ball of anger in his heart.
Looking at the panicked expressions of his subordinates, who seemed to be at a loss for what to do, Duan Wu's heart was instantly filled with anger. Furious words came out of his mouth: "F * ck, what the f * ck are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and let laozi take a look! "
"Yes sir!"
"All of you, hurry up and put on your clothes. Come with me to take a look!"
Hearing Duan Wu's words, a captain quickly stood up and pointed at his disheveled subordinates in the distance.
As the captain's words fell, the guards quickly put on their clothes, rode their horses, and followed the captain towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed …
Of course, Ye Xuan didn't know about all of this.
Now, he'd already walked over to the corpses of the members of the Demonic Palace. Looking at the rusty badges that were covered in blood, Ye Xuan bent down and picked them up.
His fingers gently rubbed off the rust on the badge. Looking at the name engraved on the back of the badge, the self-blame on Ye Xuan's face became even more intense. His heart became even heavier, and he felt even more guilty.
The names engraved on these badges were very unfamiliar to Ye Xuan. He didn't recognize them at all, and he hadn't even heard of them before. However, in order to guard the Demonic Palace, they risked their lives.
This was their Demonic Palace's soldier!
This was his, Ye Xuan's, soldier!
These were all his, Ye Xuan's, pride.
However, in the end, this pride was ruthlessly trampled on.
This feeling was hard to describe with words …
There was nothing more uncomfortable than this!
"Brothers, I'm sorry, I came back late!"
Tightly gripping the badge in his hand, Ye Xuan's body lightly trembled as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Brothers, this is the wine I brought back for you. Have a taste …"
Ye Xuan took out a bottle of wine from the Void Ring, unscrewed the lid, and poured it to the side.
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Afterwards, Ye Xuan solemnly said a few words to them, then turned around and left with a strong killing intent and determination.
"F * ck, what the hell is going on? Ah, where did they go? "
"Captain, look, there's a magical beast there!"
At this time, the guards of the Evil Emperor Pavilion who came to investigate finally rushed to the front of the city gate. When they did not find the guards lying in ambush, but instead saw the mutated wolf king that had shrunk back to its mount form, they could not help but be shocked and quickly opened their mouths.
"Tsk tsk, it's actually a mutated wolf. However, looking at its skinny body, it shouldn't be an adult yet. Could it be that all the guards lying in ambush here were eaten by them? “
"I don't know, but this thing is quite rare. Its speed is much faster than our warhorses. If we capture it and present it to the Guild Leader, it will definitely be a great contribution!"
The captain stared at the mutated wolf king with a burning gaze and said with a greedy expression, "Attack, capture it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards beside him quickly rushed towards the mutated wolf king!
"Swish …"
However, in the next moment, their bodies suddenly froze.
A blade light flashed past. Under the horrified and ugly gazes of the captain and his two subordinates, the bodies of the two guards that were charging towards the mutated wolf king suddenly split into two halves and quietly died.
The sound of rustling footsteps rang out. Ye Xuan, who'd finished his memorial service, slowly walked over …
