238 Ye Xuan’s Ability
“Pass down my order. The entire city is on high alert. Activate the city’s defensive formation.”
Yi Chengrui’s gaze fell not far away. His expression was full of solemness and seriousness.
Previously, the city’s defensive array had been consumed too much in the beast tide and there was no time to repair it. Now that it was activated again, the weak light was like a candle in the wind, swaying as if it would be extinguished by the wind.
If the great demons attacked, the formation would lose its effect after a few rounds.
Most of the wounded had only rested for a short time, and their wounds had not yet healed. When they were told that the demonic beasts were attacking again, they could only struggle to get up from their beds. Their combat level had been greatly reduced.
Changping once again became gloomy and everyone was in a panic.
“Why are the demonic beasts attacking so quickly?”
“Didn’t the demonic beasts have been scared away by us? They shouldn’t be attacking us again in a short time.”
Although there weren’t as many of them as last time, the air was filled with the aura of great demons. There was even one that they couldn’t sense at all. It had far exceeded their realm, which showed how profound and terrifying it was.
“It seems like heaven wants to destroy our Changping. We can’t escape this time.”
Many pessimistic remarks filled the city. From top to bottom, it was filled with the air of death as if there was no hope of survival.
Ye Xuan had saved them last time. But this time, it was said that even Ye Xuan had been captured by the demonic beasts and could not even protect himself, so these demonic beasts launched a swift attack.
“To negotiate with the demonic beasts, Elder Ye has fallen into the demon’s hands. This time, no one will come to save us.”
“If we had known this would happen, we wouldn’t have talked about peace talks. We should have waited for the reinforcements to arrive before we fought those demonic beasts to the death!”
On the city wall, the cold wind blew past with a bone-piercing chill. Yi Chengrui’s heart was heavy as he looked at the small black spots emerging in front of him. He roughly counted that there were only a few dozen demon beasts.
“The dozens of demonic beasts are all at the great demon level. They will arrive in less than fifteen minutes.”
This number was not even a fraction of the scale of the previous beast tide.
However, the terrifying aura gradually deepened as they approached, which also made Yi Chengrui and the others a deeper understanding. It was like an invisible mountain on their shoulders, almost making them breathless.
This meant that among these demonic beasts, there was a super-powerful demon whose strength and cultivation had reached an unfathomable level.
Yi Chengrui hadn’t felt this aura before. Could it be that the great demon who led the beast tide had improved its cultivation, so it was no longer afraid of Ye Xuan and came to them now?
The more Yi Chengrui thought about it, the more likely this was the case. This was probably the reason Ye Xuan failed and never returned. Perhaps he had become a prisoner.
Even without the scale of the beast tide, it would be easy to deal with Changping. In less than half an incense’s time, they would be able to take down Changping.
“City Lord, what should we do now?”
Run? It was too late. According to the great demons’ ability, it could capture all of them in the blink of an eye. They might do this to torture them more.
Let them wait for death in fear.
“Fight to the death! Even if I die, I’ll take a few with me.”
Yi Chengrui knew that with their current cultivation and strength, they probably couldn’t cause any harm to the great demons. He was just comforting himself.
The people of Changping were on high alert and were even prepared to fight to the death. The atmosphere became tense and somewhat tragic.
On the other hand, Ye Xuan and Qian Yuan were chatting and didn’t know that Yi Chengrui and the others had misunderstood.
Since they weren’t in a hurry, Qian Yuan would introduce the unique scenery of the demonic beasts’ forest along the way. They didn’t use any magic or anything of the sort.
By the time they reached Changping, they had also noticed the weak light of the defense array.
At the same time, Yi Chengrui also saw the shadows of the two people. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and was about to speak, but someone was one step ahead.
“Am I hallucinating? I think I’ve seen Elder Ye and Shen Changling!”
“I saw them too. They seemed to be laughing quite happily…”
As soon as he said that, the air on the city wall seemed to freeze.
“Can it be that some demonic beasts deliberately changed their appearance to deceive us and want us to open the city gate?”
When the bystanders heard this, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes. “Do they need to lie to a city gate that’s on the verge of collapse? Just a simple knock can break it. Do they need to put in so much effort?”
There was nothing wrong with what he said because the city’s defensive array could not last for long.
“What’s the situation now?”
A few great demons stood under the city wall with ferocious expressions. Ye Xuan and Shen Changling, the two humans, were out of place. They were like lambs that had accidentally entered a wolf pack.
However, they were having a good conversation with those great demons, especially Qian Yuan. At this moment, although he had shrunk his body, he still had the appearance of a flood dragon. Thus, Yi Chengrui could recognize it with a glance.
He would never forget that day when the demonic beasts attacked the city and the great pressure that he experienced from the black shadow covering the sky. He could not associate it with this petite figure in front of him.
Most importantly, the unfathomably terrifying aura did come from this shrunken flood dragon. But now, it was in a pleasant mood, totally different from the fighting and killing earlier.
What had happened? Why was it so different from what they had imagined?
This was the common thought in the minds of Yi Chengrui and others.
And most importantly, those great demons seemed to be very polite to Ye Xuan and Shen Changling.
