Wang Cheng asked suspiciously, "Junior Brother Xiao, where did you go earlier?"
Hu Hai thought about it. He thought about how Hua Tianhe and the others had looked around earlier and guessed why Xiao Chen had avoided them.
Hu Hai smiled gently and said, "There is no need to ask about this. I know where Junior Brother Xiao went. Let's go. This place is rather strange today. Let's leave first."
At the same time, Hu Hai sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen, "Junior Brother Xiao, don't worry. When we return, I will explain this matter to First Senior Sister. No matter what, Hua Tianhe will not dare to go against her wishes."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly to express his gratitude. However, he knew that this grudge would be difficult to resolve.
One had to grasp their fate in their own hands. Making themselves stronger was the foundation of everything.
After the group exited the forest, intense sunlight shone down. As they breathed in the fresh air and looked at the blazing sun, they all smiled gently.
They knew that there would not be any more surprises in this mission. The qualifications to enter the Savage Battlefield belonged to them.
"Hahaha! This is great! We finally defeated Hua Tianhe and the others once." Hu Hai laughed loudly and took the lead to walk forward.
However, just at this moment, the sunny sky suddenly turned gloomy. Dark clouds gathered in the surroundings, churning.
The cultivators at the entrance and the bustling market not far away all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
The bustling world suddenly turned quiet. Xiao Chen looked up and saw the churning dark clouds growing darker. The sky for five thousand kilometers around seemed to have turned into a pitch-black lake.
At this moment, even a fool could tell that something was wrong.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The flustered roars of countless Spirit Beasts resounded in the forest. The entire ground seemed to move. Footsteps came from the forest as several Spirit Beasts ran out of the forest.
"Damn it! It's a Demonic Calamity!"
The surrounding cultivators suddenly reacted, and a look of horror flashed across their faces. Then, they ran away madly, and the whole scene was in chaos.
The market, which was still bustling with people just a moment ago, was completely emptied in just a moment. Not a single person could be seen.
However, the expressions of Jun Si and the others did not change much. They were not unfamiliar with this Demonic Tribulation. They only felt suspicious. "Strange, this is not the time for the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice. Why is there a Demonic Tribulation?"
Hu Hai said calmly, "This should not be a true Demonic Calamity. It is just an ordinary spatial storm. Let's go. We will not return to Haotian City for now. We will go to Spirit Water City in front."
Wang Cheng said somewhat disapprovingly, "There is a branch of the Haotian Sect in Spirit Water City. There is also a Martial Sage guarding there. There is no need for us. Handing the proof to First Senior Sister first is more important."
However, Hu Hai was very insistent. He summoned out the steel warship and said, "You cannot say that. As true inheritors of the sect, how can we sit back and do nothing?"
"Regardless of whether it's a Demonic Calamity or not, just the appearance of the Spirit Beasts is enough to make people panic. There's also the possibility of Demonic Beasts and Demonic Humans appearing. They're both big problems. If Spirit Water City falls, there will be at least a million casualties."
Boom boom boom!
As they spoke, the sky turned increasingly frightening. Bolts of black lightning struck down, making the sky look like it was the end of the world.
Countless Spirit Beasts of all sorts could be seen rushing out from the Savage Beast Forest behind them. The group did not say anything more and quickly boarded the steel warship.
The steel warship had just taken off when a dense horde of flying Spirit Beasts flew out from the Savage Beast Forest.
The overwhelming number of flying Spirit Beasts flew over like a rain of arrows. In an instant, they engulfed the steel warship. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
A blue barrier appeared on the surface of the warship. Under the attacks of the countless Spirit Beasts, the warship crashed everywhere in the air. The group on the warship swayed left and right, feeling dizzy.
Hu Hai stomped heavily on the deck, and a huge force spread out. The flying Spirit Beasts near the warship immediately died.
"Junior Sister Jun, help me fill up the ship with Spirit Stones. We need to rush out," Hu Hai said with a grave expression.
Jun Si understood the urgency of the situation. She quickly entered the warship's hold and quickly filled up the ship with a large pile of Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
Hu Hai laughed loudly and gently patted the railing. "Ka ca! Ka ca! "Some springs in the warship opened, and huge, sharp, double-edged swords appeared on the sides, front, and back of the warship.
At this moment, the black steel warship turned into a ferocious beast baring its fangs. Hu Hai doubled his speed, reaching Mach 8 as he charged forward.
"Pu ci!
Pu ci! "The warship moved as fast as lightning. The impact it gave off directly tore the flying Spirit Beasts in front in half.
As the warship moved forward, it left behind a red light made of blood. The steel warship finally charged out at an extremely fast speed, leaving the flying Spirit Beasts far behind.
The dark sky reappeared in the group's vision. The danger was resolved for now.
Xiao Chen looked down. The ground was filled with people fleeing for their lives. It was a dense mass of people, looking extremely flustered. There were also many warships with the Haotian Sect's insignia parked around, receiving these ordinary citizens.
However, there were too few warships and too many people. Clearly, there were not enough people. The crowd was filled with panic.
Xiao Chen looked behind him into the distance. He extended his Spiritual Sense to the limit and discovered that several villages and small towns were in a sorry state.
There were many villages and towns that were in shambles, and there were many corpses lying on the ground.
Xiao Chen was flabbergasted. As he looked at the black clouds in the sky, he asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
The others exchanged glances. Chen Xiao sighed and said, "This is a spatial storm from the Demonic World. Regardless of whether there will be a Demonic Calamity or not, there will be Demonic Qi leaking out. These Spirit Beasts are panicking and only want to leave.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, do you know how Demonic Beasts are formed? They are formed after being infected by Demonic Qi. Aside from Rank 8 Spirit Beasts, regular Spirit Beasts would find it hard to resist the infection of Demonic Qi. "
Xiao Chen nodded and asked, "What is a Demonic Calamity? From what you all said, it sounds very horrifying."
Chen Xiao's expression turned grave as he said, "A Demonic Calamity is a sword hanging over the heads of the entire Kunlun Realm. The eighteen Demonic Realms perform a blood sacrifice for the Demonic God. They invade the Kunlun Realm every five hundred years. Every time, they will harvest the blood of at least one hundred million cultivators. "
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. He noticed that Chen Xiao was talking about cultivators and not ordinary citizens. The Kunlun Realm was very vast. The population of the various races exceeded a hundred billion.
Just the Tianwu Domain alone was several times the size of the Tianwu Continent. The number of people was easy to imagine.
However, the number of cultivators was relatively small. If the Kunlun Realm wanted to kill one hundred million cultivators, at least ten times that number of ordinary citizens would die.
This was not a numbers game. Xiao Chen simulated that scene in his mind. His mind was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Just thinking about it made him tremble in fear. It was hard to imagine that the incredibly strong Kunlun Realm, where Martial Emperors formed, would encounter such a calamity.
"This is a death calamity for both sides. If we do not kill the Kunlun Realm's cultivators, we will have to kill the Demonic World's cultivators. Otherwise, the Demonic God will rage and replace all eighteen Demon Monarchs."
Chen Xiao continued, "Aside from the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice, some Demon Race experts will occasionally come to the Kunlun Realm to plunder for the sake of cultivating evil Cultivation Techniques."
When Hu Hai heard this, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xiao Chen, don't listen to his scary words. We are still far from the Demonic Calamity every five hundred years. The Haotian Province also has our Haotian Emperor. No Demon Race experts will be blind enough to come and make trouble for us.
"This time, it is just a spatial storm. That is, the spatial crystal walls of the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World clashing. This happens occasionally. At most, some Demonic Beasts of the Demonic World will be dragged down."
Xiao Chen gained a rough understanding of the situation and felt more confident. He said softly, "It is just that these ordinary citizens are suffering for no reason."
Hu Hai's expression turned grave as well. He sighed and said, "This is unavoidable. However, the Haotian Sect's branch in Spirit Water City should have already sent experts to block the Spirit Beasts.
"Let's quickly go to Spirit Water City. These Spirit Beasts demonized and the Demonic Beasts that will appear later are the most horrifying. Once Spirit Water City falls, the millions of people fleeing nearby will find it hard to escape death."
One hour later, a majestic city appeared before the group's eyes. They could see long lines of people waiting to enter the city through the city gates.
A large number of Magic Energy Cannons were lined up on the city walls, looking very intimidating.
Hu Hai swept his gaze across the city walls and fixed his gaze on the city gates in front. Many Haotian Sect disciples stood on the city walls with their identity medallions hanging at their waists.
At this moment, the soldiers who normally maintained law and order could no longer deal with the situation. The Haotian Sect's branch in the city was in charge of all the defenses.
Hu Hai gently waved his sleeves and withdrew the steel warship into them. Then, the five of them gently floated down and landed on the city walls.
"Who is the person in charge of this place? I am the true inheritor of the Haotian Sect, Hu Hai."
Hu Hai took out his identity medallion and spoke to the hundred Haotian Sect disciples in front of him. His tone contained a faint might.
A gray-robed old man with a deep cultivation revealed an expression of joy. He stepped forward and said, "This old man is Bai Ao, the Branch Master of this place."
Spirit Water City was not one of the nine main cities of the Haotian Prefecture. Hence, the Branch Master could not mobilize experts from the Haotian Prefecture's headquarters in an instant.
Naturally, the old man rejoiced, feeling more confident.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Hu Hai's position in the sect is really high. This old man before me is a peak late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch. However, he is still so respectful to Hu Hai.
"Where is the elder guarding the city?"
Hu Hai asked with a slight frown. For a big city like Spirit Water City, the Haotian Sect would normally arrange for a Martial Sage cultivator to be the elder guarding the city.
Hu Hai felt somewhat angry that he did not see the elder guarding the city during this calamity.
Bai Ao quickly explained, "The elder guarding the city sensed the Demonic Calamity the instant it appeared. He is now at the frontlines, blocking the beast horde coming out of the Savage Beast Forest by himself."
Hu Hai's expression relaxed slightly. He said, "Gather all the disciples who are Martial Kings and above. Perhaps we can use a large sum of money to recruit the cultivators who came to the city to escape."
Hu Hai was very experienced in defending a city. With a few words, he managed to stabilize the situation. This calmed some of the flustered disciples who had never seen the world before.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he felt admiration for Hu Hai. He would not be able to do these things well. Even if the others were capable, they would not have the sense of responsibility.
