Although the entire capital was covered by a barrier, the barrier could only cover the space above the surface and could not penetrate the space below the surface.
Therefore, once they encountered an enemy that could invade from underground, the barrier would not be able to stop them.
Not only the capital, but even the palace had many demonic beasts. Compared to the outside of the palace, the demonic beasts in the palace were more densely distributed.
Lin Ying, Yun Ruoxi, and the others happened to be in the West Palace of the palace.
Seeing this, Julia hurried to the West Palace. Lin Yun and Prince Namgong were not around, so she was the only one who could protect everyone.
"Evacuate the people immediately and mobilize the army to resist the demonic beasts. I will personally lead the army to exterminate the demonic beasts!" The Ancient Xilan Emperor immediately gave the order and condensed a longbow that was emitting blue light.
"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" Wei Zongxian asked anxiously.
The Ancient Xilan Emperor said, "Now that the demonic beasts have invaded the capital and all the generals are fighting outside, how can I retreat?!"
Wei Zongxian wanted to say something, but the Ancient Xilan Emperor said, "I am a Martial Ancestor Realm expert after all. A mere group of level-4 demonic beasts can't threaten my life."
"However, Lin Yun's companions might not be able to protect themselves if they encounter a level-4 demonic beast. Quickly go and protect them. Don't let anything happen to them. This is my order! "
The Ancient Xilan Emperor believed that Lin Yun would definitely become a peak expert in the continent. It would not be a problem for him to ascend to the divine realm in the future.
Therefore, no matter what, he could not let anything happen to Lin Yun's companions in the Ancient Xilan Empire. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to Lin Yun.
Wei Zongxian was initially hesitant, but when he heard the Ancient Xilan Emperor say that it was an order, he obeyed and left.
Seeing that Wei Zongxian was heading towards the palace, the Ancient Xilan Emperor was relieved to command the soldiers to fight against the invading demonic beasts.
...
On the other side, in the Imperial Garden of the palace.
Lin Ying, Yun Ruoxi, Zhang Wei, Shangguan Xiayan, and Hana Mio were being chased by a giant pangolin.
As the five of them fled with all their might, they turned around and attacked the pangolin.
However, when their attacks landed on the huge pangolin's thick armor, they were unable to even leave a scratch on it.
Although the attacks of these giant pangolins couldn't compare to those flying dragons in the sky, they were much more powerful. However, their defense was much stronger than that of the Giant Dragons. They were completely capable of taking a beating.
Neither Shanghai Xiayan's golden flames nor Hana Mio's high-pressure air blades could break the giant pangolin's armor. Their attacks were like tickles to the giant pangolin.
As for the attacks of Lin Ying, Yun Ruoxi, and Zhang Wei, needless to say, they couldn't even be considered tickles.
"Looks like I can only use that move!" Hana Mio immediately gathered a large amount of Essence in his palm to form a cyclone.
"Let's go!" Shanghai Xiayan also gathered a large amount of heat in his palm to form a scorching hot flame bomb.
The two of them threw the cyclone and flame bomb at the giant pangolin.
The cyclone hit the giant pangolin and cut a half foot deep cut on the surface of the thick armor. However, it didn't completely break the armor.
When the flame bomb landed on the giant pangolin's body, it directly exploded into a sea of fire that enveloped the giant pangolin.
When the giant pangolin emerged from the sea of fire, its armor was already somewhat deformed, but it was still intact.
The attack that the two of them used was already the strongest attack they could currently use.
However, in front of a Class 4 demonic beast, it was completely meaningless. Even if they continued to attack, it would be of no use.
"We can't beat this guy, let's quickly escape!" Hana Mio immediately suggested.
"Damn it! Why am I so weak! "Shanghai Xiayan said unwillingly.
And at this moment, Lin Ying let out a cry of alarm: "Oh no! There's another demonic beast in front, it's charging towards us! "
Everyone was startled when they heard this. Soon after, they turned their heads to look at the direction that Lin Ying pointed. They saw an even larger pangolin charging towards their location. The buildings that it passed through were flattened.
Two giant pangolins attacked them from the front and back, forcing them into a desperate situation, leaving them with no way to retreat.
Just when everyone was in despair, Julia's figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
"You guys leave quickly, I'll stop them!" Julia took out a short sword and said to everyone.
The short sword in her hand looked ordinary, no different from an ordinary weapon. But in fact, it was made by a God Domain Weapon Refiner. It was a veritable Earth-level treasure.
After injecting her Primordial Qi, this treasure could cut iron like mud. It was not difficult to cut open the armor of these giant pangolins.
Everyone was very confident in Julia's strength, so they did not hesitate and immediately turned to escape.
Seeing this, the giant pangolin wanted to chase after them, but it was intercepted by Julia.
Then, a few more giant pangolins surrounded Zhu Liya.
Facing seven or eight giant pangolins at the same time, Julia's expression still did not change: "Just in time, I haven't exercised my tibia for a long time."
While Julia was fighting with the seven or eight demonic beasts, everyone had already escaped to the palace gate.
Just as everyone was about to escape from the palace gate, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of the palace gate, blocking everyone's way.
Everyone recognized the person at a glance. He was the favorite of the Guxi Lan Emperor, Wei Zongxian.
"Eunuch Wei, you came at the right time. A large number of demonic beasts have appeared in the palace, and our companions are fighting them. Hurry up and help!" Hana Mio floated toward Wei Zongxian with a face full of joy.
Just as he floated to Wei Zongxian's side, Wei Zongxian suddenly made a move without warning and slapped him hard on the chest.
Puff!
Hana Mio spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward from the ground. He landed on the square dozens of meters away and directly lost consciousness.
It happened so suddenly that everyone could not react in time.
Shanghai Xiayan was the first to react. He immediately questioned Wei Zongxian: "Bastard, what are you doing?!"
"If you don't want to die, obediently surrender." Wei Zongxian walked toward everyone expressionlessly, the killing intent in his eyes growing stronger.
"Why did you do this?" Zhang Wei asked in confusion, obviously not understanding why Wei Zongxian would attack them at this time.
"Everyone be careful, he is an enemy!" Yun Ruoxi immediately raised her guard, completely treating Wei Zongxian as an enemy.
