As soon as they left Yong City, the city closed its gates. The soldiers hidden among the civilians stood on the city walls, forming a tight line of defense.
Zhu Minglang was just going through the motions, but he still had to be wary of Tianshu Shenjiang's random organizations.
The army to resist Tianshu Shenjiang's invaders had been deployed a long time ago. Although the Xuan Ge Holy Kingdom's army was the only God's organization on this route, they still had to be on guard.
"Will the Oracle Flag we left in Yong City work?" Zhu Minglang asked with concern.
"That is the Oracle Flag. The Earthquake Flag stands in Yong City. If other forces have evil intentions, the Oracle Flag will create an earthquake on the ground outside the city walls. Even if there are thousands of soldiers, they will be destroyed in an instant," Mi Zhongyun said.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
He had been considering whether or not to detain Mi Zhongyun. That way, it would be easier for him to act. After all, Mi Rong was the representative of Xuan Ge Holy Kingdom, and she was also a stargazer. She could also hold up the Xuan Ge Holy Kingdom's flag.
But Mi Zhongyun was proficient in God's Accessories, especially the Oracle Flag, which had great influence on the battlefield.
If they wanted to repel all the invaders, the Oracle Flag's special effects would be crucial.
"Of course, that Earthquake Oracle Flag isn't really capable of repelling all powerful enemies. The most important thing is that it has the symbol of our Black Spear Divine Country carved on it. When those Divine organizations see that we've taken it first, they'll have to think twice before directly tearing off all pretense of cordiality with us, not to mention those idle organizations. If they aren't evil sects, they basically won't offend us." That young Divine Citizen Qi Fen said.
Indeed, the deterrence effect was the key. It could make the motley crowd retreat. Otherwise, it would be hard to defend against those thieves.
…
"It's getting dark. Let's find a city," Mi Zhongyun said.
"There doesn't seem to be any Dark Walkers here," Qi Fen said.
"Once the Fog of Nothingness is gone, the dark things of Tianshu Shenjiang will flood into Extreme Court. So, we should not move in the wild at night." Mi Rong shook her head.
The Fog of Nothingness only dissipated when it was close to dusk, but the entrance to the ley lines of the other organizations did not dissipate even at night. If they wanted to take action officially, they would have to wait until dawn the next day.
But Tianshu Shenjiang's Evernight will quickly assimilate the entire Extreme Court.
It could be said that the first to take over the Extreme Court was not a powerful divine organisation, but the Dark Yin Folk. They could even cover every corner of the Extreme Court Continent in a single night.
"Let's go to the Ancestral Dragon City-State. That's the central city of the Lichuan Continent," Mi Zhongyun said.
Mi Zhongyun had also heard a lot about Lichuan, so she knew that the Ancestral Dragon City-State was the hub of the entire Lichuan. It was also the core of their expedition this time.
"Okay, let's go there first. But it's best if we don't expose ourselves. There are probably spies from other divine organisations in the Ancestral Dragon City-State. If we can fish them out and get rid of them, it'll be good for us. We won't have to worry about someone stabbing us in the back," Zhu Minglang agreed.
This was the advantage of choosing a good ley line entrance.
And it only dissipated when it was close to dusk, so the other divine organisations that wanted to enter the Lichuan Continent were forced to wait until dawn the next day.
Although they could not move around in the wild at night, they could still enter the Ancestral Dragon City-State.
They believed that the Ancestral Dragon City-State would be very lively tonight.
Plus, the Time Wave seemed to be arriving at midnight today.
…
After entering the Ancestral Dragon City-State, the advantage of not having a lot of people was that even if they entered the city, they would not be easily discovered by the spies of other factions.
"There are actually so many experts stationed in the Ancestral Dragon City-State. As expected, other divine organisations have already infiltrated this place. Fortunately, we did not act too conspicuously," Mi Zhongyun was secretly shocked.
The small Ancestral Dragon City-State was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Mi Zhongyun also used one of his magic treasures to investigate. He discovered that the Ancestral Dragon City-State was not only heavily guarded, but there were also many powerful factions hidden inside.
"They are most likely the Ming God Clan's lackeys," Qi Fen said.
"There should be other divine organisations that have already made arrangements in this city. At midnight, the Time Wave will sweep through the entire Extreme Court. The first to benefit will be the land of Lichuan. Therefore, at dawn tomorrow, there will be smoke everywhere!" Mi Rong said.
"It seems that we underestimated the overall cultivation of this place. Fortunately, we are not weak now. We still have the Oracle Flag. Let's do as Brother Zhu said. We will wait and see. Don't do anything tonight." Mi Zhongyun nodded.
"Tonight will most likely not be peaceful. Aside from the restlessness in the city, there will also be a large number of dark creatures. I don't know if the guards of this city can resist the dark tide."
"They don't have the protection of the gods, nor do they understand the rules of darkness. Let them experience the night of Tianshu Shenjiang first. Let them understand the terror of darkness. Only then will they be willing to listen to us!"
… …
Zhu Minglang had Pang Kai stay in the courtyard to watch over Mi Zhongyun and the others. He did not want this guy to cause trouble for him.
He himself went to Li Yunzi's courtyard.
Zhu Minglang had already told Zheng Yu about the rules of the night. He believed that Zheng Yu had already ordered the guards to carry out all kinds of defenses. However, every change of day and night was a terrifying war. Even a powerful city like the Ancestral Dragon City-State could not withstand this torment, let alone the other cities scattered across the land of Lichuan.
Even if the people were gathered in some city-states with tall walls, it was only temporary.
The people needed farmland and forests. The end result of taking refuge in an emergency was that many people would starve to death.
Zhu Minglang had been trying to get information from Mi Zhongyun over the past few days. He wanted to know how to intimidate the darkness from him. Unfortunately, he did not learn anything.
No matter if it was the Chosen One, God's Descendants, or God's People, they relied on their own aura to suppress the dark creatures. On the other hand, they needed things like the Green Lantern Ancient Pagoda in the Sparrow Wolf Divine City, the Bone Temple's Bone Stele, and the God's Wall in the Divine City to resist the darkness.
Moreover, the Ancestral Dragon City-State was not small. The dark creatures would also gather together. When they realized that the Chosen One and God's Descendants in the city were not as powerful as they imagined, they would still invade. After all, a few Chosen One and God's Descendants could not protect hundreds of thousands of people.
At the courtyard.
Zhu Minglang saw a woman wearing a lavender purple muslin dress. After careful consideration, Zhu Minglang did not go up to touch her.
As expected, she was Nan Lingsha.
Blood almost splattered ten steps away!
After spending a long time together, Zhu Minglang was now certain that Nan Lingsha and Li Yunzi did not see eye to eye with each other.
Therefore, Nan Lingsha was at Li Yunzi's courtyard. Either she wanted to compete with her, or the person in the courtyard was Xing Hua.
As expected!
The person in the courtyard was Miss Xing Hua.
In his heart, Zhu Minglang applauded wildly for his strictness and mechanism.
When he thought about how he would see his wives waiting for him every night when he returned home, and how he would have to observe their expressions in a short period of time. He would have to make an impenetrable deduction in his mind to prevent himself from calling their names wrongly, he suddenly felt that the rest of his life would not be boring.
"Ye is already here. Other than those who want to divide the territory, the most terrifying thing is the Nyx Guardian. They are far more powerful than any God's Nation army. Moreover, they have the Yama Dragon, an existence that can destroy an entire continent. Therefore, our top priority is to find a way to protect the city-state." Zhu Minglang sat down and analyzed the current situation seriously with his two sisters-in-law.
While they were discussing, Shuang 'er quickly walked over.
She handed over a military letter.
It was sent over by Zheng Yu. He should be guarding the Tide of Darkness tightly at the moment.
"When dusk arrived, we noticed those Creatures of Night. However, they seemed to be lingering outside the city and did not dare to come close."
"After the night turned completely dark, some of us noticed even more powerful Creatures of Darkness. However, they seemed to be afraid of something and took a detour in the end."
"In order to understand the reason, I ordered people to capture a Little Night Demon. When we brought it into the city, it seemed to have a deep fear of our city-state walls. Before we could bring it into the city, its body seemed to have been evaporated by some kind of power."
It was a very direct description of the Creatures of Darkness' actions from dusk until now.
However, these words made Zhu Minglang, Li Xinghua, and Nan Lingsha very confused.
The Creatures of Darkness were taking a detour around Ancestral Dragon City??
Moreover, Zheng Yu seemed to have done a very smart little experiment. The final conclusion was that the Creatures of Darkness were afraid of Ancestral Dragon City's walls. The walls would turn into nothingness as soon as they got close!
"Our walls …" Zhu Minglang wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
"Grandmother mentioned that the walls of the city-state are the bones of an ancient dragon. It has protected the people of Ancestral Dragon City for generations," Li Xinghua repeated the words and carefully considered them.
Could it be that the so-called protection did not refer to the tall walls used for military purposes, but the ability to resist the Darkness!?
Zhu Minglang, who had lived in Tianshu Shenjiang for some time, clearly knew that the Darkness was the scariest thing.
The reason why the gods were great, supported, and respected by the people of Tianshu Shenjiang was because the living creatures of Tianshu City were afraid of the Darkness, and could not fight against it.
Even the strongest people and the strongest army of a city-state would be devoured by the Darkness without the protection of the gods!
Therefore, having a city-state that could resist the Darkness was no different from obtaining a piece of land blessed by the gods!
Just think about the price of the inns in the Sparrow Wolf God Upper City, the ridiculous prices of the houses, and the unquestionable sense of superiority of the people of God!
Ancestral Dragon City was not afraid of the Darkness!
"If it's true, Ancestral Dragon City is basically a God City!" Zhu Minglang blurted out in disbelief.
