"How far are we? What's the situation like? Did anything else happen in there? "
Outside Thunder City, if one were to stand high up in the sky and look around, they would see black square formations swarming over from all directions like ants. There was not a single gap between them.
Even if Hua Ying wanted to go out now, it would be impossible.
Especially in the direction of Thunder City, the thick crowd was like a wave. They were the main force of the enemy.
At this moment, Zhu Hun was in the north, leading a huge group. While rushing towards Thunder City, he inquired about the situation.
"In less than two hours, we will be outside Thunder Echo City. According to the news just now, the surrounding area has been sealed by us. Although there were some hidden enemies in the two empty cities, they have already been dealt with. The news from the insiders is that everything is normal."
Beside Zhu Hun, an elder of the Drifting Tribe who had taken off his disguise and was floating in the air, answered Zhu Hun's question.
"That's good. Pass down the order to kill all the enemies. When we reach the designated location, launch an attack immediately. After destroying the outer perimeter, we will rush in. Don't destroy the inner core. I'm very interested in it. Maybe we can find something useful." Zhu Hun looked into the distance, as if he could see Thunder City.
For Thunder City, there were very few Monster Spirits who participated in the battle. Most of them had been sent to the back. However, from the words of the remaining elders, Zhu Hun knew how powerful the enemy was.
It was really a war fortress. In a sense, even the human wave tactic could not drown the enemy. After it was activated, it had the power to devour the free energy. Moreover, the attacks from the outer perimeter would be weakened by at least half under some strange formation. The remaining half would be absorbed by the formation to replenish itself. It was very tricky. Otherwise, they would not have failed in the past.
However, this did not mean that the other side could not break through, as many people could be stationed inside. The massive barrier itself was a weakness, and more importantly, they could use a method to place people from the outside inside to fight with the other side and forcefully destroy the inside. However, the losses were too great, as they had suffered great losses the last time.
"Fortunately, the arrangement this time is good. We can take down the enemy easily. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill them so easily."
Zhu Hun heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of the unguarded Thunder Echo City.
In order to subdue the other party, they had put in a lot of effort, but it was all worth it. However, it was said that a few days ago, they also wanted to open up a way out. Obviously, Yi Jian had failed, but he felt that this was normal. Even the Heavenly King had failed twice and paid a huge price. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. What could they do?
He really thought that he could open a gap, but he did not know how to operate it. At that time, he had already left this place and began to hide in the Wilderness. He had other things to do, but it was a pity that he had to consume those things.
The main thing now was to completely eliminate Soul Alliance. The Heavenly King also sent people to bring news. Later on, they were going to gather all the demon souls in one go. When the time came, the main focus would be to chase Lonely Peak back.
Although the lone peak was difficult, he had a plan in his heart. If everything went smoothly, a few thousand years would be enough for him to completely chase the other party away.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. Unknowingly, the black shadow in the distance began to grow larger. Even through the distance, he could vaguely see his subordinates surrounding him.
"Get ready!"
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Zhu Hun had already recovered. At the same time, he instructed his subordinates.
.....
Just at this moment, in the third floor of City Lord Luo's area, a normal young man came out from a utility room as the miscellaneous items outside were removed.
"This sudden cultivation has caused him too much trouble. I have to properly thank him when I return."
The young man felt his body getting better and looked at the special cover outside. He bitterly smiled.
He was also one of the members who stayed behind to guard this place. However, a small problem suddenly occurred in his body, so he hid here to stabilize his body. His friend volunteered to take over his job, and in order to prevent others from disturbing him, he deliberately hid him in this place. It was only now that he recovered.
"Hmm? Why is there no one here? "
Just as he came out and took two steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong outside. It was a deathly silence, as if he was the only one left in the world.
One had to know that normally, these people had a clear division of labor. It was impossible for there to be no sound at all. This made him feel that something was wrong. He immediately held his breath and went downstairs.
As soon as he went down, he found traces of a fight. However, it seemed that the fight was quickly subdued. The young man was extremely vigilant. At the same time, he probed the area behind him and found that the intruders seemed to have left. What made him even more excited was that he sensed the aura of his own people in a warehouse not far away.
"Huala"
The door was opened. He saw his companions who were tied together lying unconscious inside. He quickly went to help them untie and wake them up.
"It's you? I thought you were killed. "
The trusted aide who was temporarily in charge of this place sensed the movements around him and slowly came over. He saw the young man in front of him removing his own bindings. He was dazed for a moment before he recognized the other party's identity. One had to know that many people were killed when they resisted.
"I was in the utility room to adjust the discomfort in my body. What happened here?" The young man quickly asked.
"Don't bother about this first. Go down from the second floor and go to the fourth floor to inform the City Lord. Tell him what happened here." The trusted aide pushed the young man away and shouted at him.
"Yes, I will go now." The young man heard the order and saw the serious expression on the other party's face. He seemed to have understood something and immediately ran outside.
The trusted aide looked around. Although some people had been untied, they still hadn't woken up. He was slightly stronger. Otherwise, he would be lying unconscious like the other party.
"Oh no, control center!"
The trusted aide suddenly thought of a problem. He didn't have time to help his companions remove their bindings. He dragged his weak body and walked inside.
"Deng deng deng"
A very weak sound came from afar. Even if the person who came tried his best to avoid making any noise, it was still very obvious to Shi Xiao.
"Are they finally here?"
Shi Xiao looked at the only entrance. Her hand lit up with a faint light. Once the other party discovered this place, she had no choice but to activate it. If she was a second late, she might be controlled by the other party.
The footsteps suddenly stopped at the corner. Following which, it stopped moving. It seemed like the other party wasn't going to come over and was going to walk in another direction.
A drop of sweat dripped down from Shi Xiao's forehead. It streaked across the corner of his eyes and continued to slide down. However, he didn't even dare to move. He stared intently. Following which, his ears twitched. Without hesitation, he activated the black pillar in front of him according to the method in his memory.
"Weng" A light sound was heard. A black light was emitted from the black pillar. Following which, it continued to extend downwards. Layers of plaster-like black soil kept falling from the outside, revealing the steel-like substance inside. Exquisite patterns were revealed along with the black light.
"Bang"
A light sound was heard from outside. An enemy appeared in front of Shi Xiao's eyes and was constantly attacking the barrier. He recognized the other party. It was the trusted aide in charge of this place. Previously, he was also heavily injured and thrown inside.
He had completed the City Lord's mission. Now, it was time for him to escape.
If it was another City Lord or a large group of people, he might not have any hope. However, facing a weak and heavily injured enemy, there was still some hope.
Seeing that the barrier was becoming increasingly unstable due to the activation of the black pillar and was about to break down soon, he clenched the weapon in his hand and rushed outside.
.....
"City Lord Luo, the people in your residence are looking for you."
There was a new round of competition going on below. At this moment, they were competing against Kikyo and Youyun. The two of them were also locked in a fierce battle. However, it could be seen that Kikyo was already at a disadvantage. It would not be long before he was defeated.
City Lord Luo was also standing at the side and watching. Suddenly, one of his subordinates who was maintaining order outside walked over and quietly passed the news to him. This made his expression change. However, in the next moment, it returned to normal and he smiled to the side.
"My subordinate has something to report. Please excuse me."
After City Lord Luo excused himself, he walked down in big strides. However, the hearts of the other people changed. City Lord Luo's words sounded normal to others, but to them, it meant something different. It was obvious that he was telling them that something was about to change and for them to pay attention.
"What's going on?" City Lord Luo walked in front of the familiar looking subordinate and asked seriously.
"Something happened over there."
He hurriedly explained what had happened. However, he saw that the City Lord's expression was getting gloomier and gloomier. That aura was almost unbearable for him. He stood there in a daze.
"Wait for my order. Whatever, go back to the third floor and crush this for me." City Lord Luo took a deep breath. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he ultimately suppressed them. At the same time, he said to the frightened subordinate and handed over a small ball.
City Lord Luo no longer looked at the other party. He leisurely walked back the way he came. It was impossible to tell what had happened. However, the people on the other side, seeing him like this, knew that the matter had been exposed. They silently glanced at him and began to move to the side. They continued to talk with some people. Similarly, they could not find any flaws.
Little did they know that their sudden uniform actions had caused the other side to understand something. They continued to act with the other side, but were secretly preparing to take action.
However, Gu Zheng's side still had a slight advantage because they knew that the other side had a large number of people. However, the other side did not know their exact situation. The other side's actions just now had exposed the two hidden City Lords. They were probably the last of the other side's strength.
Thus, it seemed that a third of Soul Alliance had already betrayed them. This was truly a terrifying number. It was impossible to exclude the possibility that there were still hidden enemies that had yet to be discovered.
At this moment, a new round of battles had begun below. It was Gu Zheng's turn to fight with Kikyo. However, when Gu Zheng went down again, he saw City Lord Luo leave the team. He was thinking in his heart about what the other side knew and whether or not the situation below had been exposed.
"Although you're very strong, you can't look down on me like this." Kikyo saw Gu Zheng's absent-mindedness and had a face full of indignation. The weapon in her hand was raised at Gu Zheng as she spoke.
At this moment, she had also given up on the thought of competing. No matter how one looked at it, she was the weakest. If not for the fact that she had "cheated" in the previous competition and met people who had gone easy on her, she probably would not have been able to enter this place. Of course, to the outside world, she had relied on a bit of luck to enter the top four.
In reality, they did not have any hope for her. The reality was as such. After two consecutive battles, two defeats. There was no hope at all.
"No, I just thought of something. It has nothing to do with you." Gu Zheng was stunned and waved his hand as he spoke.
He did not have much malice towards her because her thoughts were very easy to guess. One look and he could tell that she was the typical naive type. Even if City Lord Luo had betrayed Soul Alliance, this Kikyo might still be kept in the dark.
"How is it not related to you? Look at how strong I am." Kikyo did not believe him at all. She immediately took out her weapon. Two short swords formed in her hands, one gold and one black. She very quickly charged towards Gu Zheng.
While still in mid-air, Kikyo crossed her two weapons in mid-air. Suddenly, there was a sizzling sound between the two weapons. Under the intertwining of the golden and black electric arcs, a strange electric ball was formed. She suddenly pressed it down and directly threw it over.
"You're serious. How about I let you win once, for Madam Xue's sake." Gu Zheng saw this and quickly dodged. He did not want to experience the feeling of electricity flowing through his body. At the same time, he raised a question.
He had previously asked why City Lord Luo had a relationship with Madam Xue and her husband. It was all because of this Kikyo in front of him. She had helped the husband and wife a long time ago. She herself was City Lord Luo's subordinate, but back then she was only a normal elite. City Lord Luo had used her to get closer and closer to them. This was something that Madam Xue and the others were well aware of.
"I won't be as despicable as you. I want to defeat you fair and square. Only then can Madam Xue see how despicable you are." Kikyo chased after Gu Zheng as she yelled.
Gu Zheng didn't know what was going on, but he knew that City Lord Bu was definitely plotting against him. This was the first time he had appeared here, and it was also the first time he had seen the other party. How could he be inexplicably targeted by the other party?
"Hong"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the ground suddenly trembled.
Most of the people outside calmed down, feeling the sudden tremors. Gu Zheng and Kikyo were the same, but the latter suspected that Gu Zheng was behind it and looked at him seriously.
After a few breaths of time, the ground trembled twice as much as before. This time, no one thought that it was an illusion. They all stood up in shock, not knowing what had happened.
They did not know, but some people were well aware.
"City Lord Fan, you seem to know. What's going on?" One of the City Lords with City Lord Fan did not know what was going on. Seeing City Lord Fan's expression, he asked curiously.
"Of course I know. It's like this. My apologies, City Lord Xing." City Lord Fan looked over and made a decision in his heart. He then smiled and said, but his voice was low, as if he wanted to secretly tell City Lord Xing something. He took a few steps closer to City Lord Fan.
Now was the time!
Seeing that City Lord Xing was unprepared and even came over curiously, City Lord Fan sneered inwardly and attacked.
With a flip of his hand, a black light gathered in his palm. He then slammed it down heavily on City Lord Xing, causing the latter's expression to change.
"You dare!"
The unlucky City Lord Xing did not care, but there were others watching from the side. They had felt that something was wrong with City Lord Xing just now and were preparing to attack first. It was just in time to help City Lord Xing out.
A fist condensed with black light appeared almost at the same time, rushing towards City Lord Fan's head from behind. A fatal killing intent appeared on the fist, and a gust of wind blew, causing the hair of the two men to dance wildly.
If he insisted on injuring City Lord Xing, then the injuries he would receive would be even more serious and fatal.
With no other choice, City Lord Fan could only stop his actions and dodge to the side.
"You want to sneak attack me? In your dreams!"
Behind him, City Lord Niu let out a cold snort. While the other party was attacking, he directly clashed head-on with the other party. A drought thunder exploded in the middle of the air, and a rapid wave of air surged out in all directions, causing a cloud of dust to fly up.
The other City Lord who had sneak attacked Ruo Chen was still looking in shock at his enemy who had turned into a black light when he was sent flying by a palm strike from a woman beside him.
"What's going on?!"
In just a few breaths' time, at least seven or eight attacks had occurred. The originally fine viewing platform had become tattered, and a gentle breeze blew over, revealing the situation inside.
"Kill!"
While the battle was going on, the people below also began to riot. Some of the people who had been prepared had gathered their own people and attacked the targets they had agreed on. In an instant, the number of casualties was disastrous. Even more people were confused and scattered in all directions, not knowing what was going on. When they looked at the City Lord's position, they saw something even more shocking.
At this time, the battle above had already split into three groups.
City Lord Luo and City Lord Duan were in the lead, while City Lord Fan, City Lord Bo, City Lord Mian, and the others were standing to the side, glaring at the other side.
On the other side, Madam Xue and City Lord Liu were in the center, while Ruo Chen and City Lord Niu were in the middle. Their expressions were grave and sorrowful.
As for City Lord Xing and the other City Lords who didn't know what was going on, they were standing in the middle, constantly looking back and forth. They weren't thinking about what was going on, so they subconsciously gathered together, vigilantly looking at both sides, or at City Lord Luo's side.
That was because there were two people attacking them. If it weren't for Madam Xue's help, the two of them would have been heavily injured.
Although this had happened rather quickly, everyone else had seen it clearly. Even City Lord Luo's side was looking at both sides, clearly waiting for an explanation.
At the same time, Gu Zheng had sensed that something was wrong and had directly rushed up. But he found that the originally weak barrier had become incomparably tough. If he wanted to leave this place, he would have to spend a bit of time.
What made Gu Zheng even more worried was that the naive Kikyo was still chasing after him, as if it hadn't noticed what was going on outside. The only good news was that it was still using Jin Xian's initial strength. Thinking that it was still in the middle of a battle, some of its attacks landed on Gu Zheng's body, but they didn't cause any damage.
