“Some people are born with power and dominate their fates. Some have to struggle from the bottom most rank. They have to use the most despicable means and the most merciless conspiracies to barely reach their current positions. I have lived for over two hundred years, the things I have experienced are far more than a little girl like you. There’s no need to feel grudge towards me, the path of cultivation has no such thing as family ties. Don’t easily believe anyone who you think you can trust, because one day, that trusted individual may sell you out for his own benefit. As your grandfather, I’m at least not completely harming you. I taught you the most important survival law, right?” said Ning Tianyou with a calm tone.
Ning Maner could no longer hear any sound. Her brain kept repeating those nightmarish scenes she witnessed in Quiet Forest. Now, there was one more nightmare. That nightmare was her grandfather. He had torn away that fake mask and revealed a terrifying devil behind the mask!
She remembered that long ago, He Cang already told her that Ning Tianyou was a hypocrite......
She did not pay much attention, she only thought her grandfather was just not familiar with her and that resulted in a poor relations.h.i.+p. He was at least her grandfather.
Ning Maner could never imagine his hypocrisy to be this cruel. No words could describe the inhuman things he had done for his own benefits......
While narrating the truth, he was even using a proud tone. Killing his own son and setting up his granddaughter, or perhaps he who lived for over two hundred years had killed even more family members. He did not feel a trace of pain or regret, but seemed to be showing off his achievements, to prove that what he had done was right.
How could there be such a crazy person in this world? Why did that person have to be her grandfather?
“Secure her,” Ning Tianyou told those cousins.
After that, he waved his hand and indicated the army to continue the march!
A blood red flag waved above the sky of the plain.
At the front of Ning Zhuan Clan’s army, blood-colored horned beasts lined up in a charging legion.
As the order was given, dust was kicked up and the earth trembled. Over three thousand Blood Horned Beasts charged forward on the plain towards Wanxiang City!
......
“They are coming,” Shen Mo’s expression turned grim.
Xia Zhixian chanted an incantation and green light flashed.
Beneath the solid city wall, some Flower Demons with flexible vines began climbing along the city wall. They rapidly weaved a plant stronghold filled with sharp thorns on both sides of this city wall.
Blood-colored bodies crashed towards the city wall one after another. In an instant, blood spilled on the plant stronghold. The Flower Demons buried in the soil surged up like snakes and overturned the soil. They forcefully dragged those Blood horned Beasts into the soil traps.
Elemental soul pet trainers chanted incantations on the city wall. Elemental techniques weaved into a net shape covered the rear of this Blood Horned Beast legion. In an instant, a large group of Blood Horned Beasts turned into corpses.
In the distance, when Ning Tianyou saw the suddenly emerging Flower Demons, he revealed a wicked smile instead, “I thought it was an empty city, so there is some defensive strength left. However, that’s just useless!”
The order to attack was given once again. A large crowd of wings pressed down from the sky and sharp cries rang out.
Wanxiang City’s plant stronghold was not very tall. Ning Zhuan Clan’s wing type army directly flew onto the city wall and started attacking the soldiers on the city wall.
The city wall began shaking violently and a large piece collapsed.
Next, tens of thousands of Ning Zhuang main force began pressing in!
The main force would easily crush Wanxiang City which lacked in defense!
Watching the enemies stepping over the corpses of Flower Demons and reaching the city, the city guards and New Moon Land members immediately felt helpless!
The enemy had Dominator army, a large Emperor army, as well as Immortals who possessed absolute strength. They had done their best to buy time, but they could still not sustain the overwhelming a.s.sault by the enemy.
When the Flower Demon army was completely burned away by fire type creatures, New Moon Land’s army could no longer prevent this army from approaching.
The city wall was toppled down. The streets and buildings inside the city wall were demolished.
Citizens living in the southeast region were evacuated to another location. However, a city was only this big. Once the city wall and plant stronghold were breached, it was meaningless to hide!
A city zone, residences and streets were enveloped by the flame of war......
Wind raged and monsters roared, desperate screams also echoed. Destructions, corpses and slaughtering were happening in real time. Flying above the city, Shen Mo watched the enemies swarming into the city like a flood. He really wanted to charge into the enemy ranks, if he could just stop one or two Immortals......
Xia Zhiran also remained silent. Everyone did their best and desperately held on. However, they were still unable to overcome the absolute disadvantage in numbers.
She knew that what she could do now was not to stall the enemies. She should be thinking about ways to rescue those important family members of those people fighting at the frontline......
“Yi Wu, let the Holy Guards defend the city wall in the middle city,” Shen Mo forced himself to calm down.
The Holy Guards reduced from two hundred to around one hundred. These one hundred Holy Guards were insignificant before the enemy army.
Yi Wu did not hesitate and took the Holy Guards to defend the middle city.
The enemies travelled along the main streets towards the middle city.
There was really nothing worthy to pay attention to in the outer parts of the city. There were only empty streets, buildings and some New Moon Land members.
The middle city was the place where Wanxiang City’s citizens gathered. There would be countless wealth inside.
Meanwhile, the inner city was filled with vast resources which could let them increase their strength. They believe that the reason New Moon Land could develop so fast was because New Moon Palace possessed large quant.i.ties of Xuan Items, Immortal Items, and those Isolated s.p.a.ces were huge treasure vaults.
The remaining New Moon Land defenders retreated to the middle city wall.
The middle city wall’s defense mechanisms were similarly not effective. There was only a city barrier that operated with over ten thousand soul crystals.
When the danger approached, this dark blue barrier already covered Wanxiang City’s middle city and inner city. However, n.o.body knew how long this barrier could last.
“There is a finally New Moon barrier in the inner city, hopefully we can endure until they come......” Shen Mo flew back to the middle city. His eyes looked past the dark blue barrier towards the distance.
“Commander, a Nightmare army swarmed out from Nightmare Palace!” reported a New Moon Palace soldier.
Shen Mo, Xia Zhixian, Yi Wu and the others turned around and focused on Wanxiang City’s inner city.
New Moon Palace was currently built around Wanxiang Altar. Nightmare Palace was also rebuilt near Wanxiang Altar.
Currently, beneath the tall Wanxiang Altar, silver flame, blue flame and green flame burnt dazzlingly as if the city was on fire!
“It’s Chu Mu’s Nightmare army...... but, isn’t Nightmare Dynasty also short in fighting strength now?” said Shen Mo.
“They have a large number, but their average rank is not high......” Xia Zhixian’s hopeful gaze dimmed.
Certainly, a Nightmare army swarmed out from Nightmare Palace. However, this Nightmare army was not strong, it was clearly the remaining fighting force Nightmare Dynasty left behind.
“Let’s buy as much time as possible. By the way, who is leading this Nightmare army?” asked Shen Mo.
On Nightmare Dynasty’s side, the ones who could really order those Nightmares around were Chu Mu and Bai Yu. Shen Mo could not understand. Were those Nightmares coming out from Nightmare Holy Region to save Wanxiang City out of their own will?
“It’s Princess Jinrou,” said that palace soldier.
Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian were startled and hurriedly used their soul remembrance to check that direction.
As expected, amongst those burning figures, an elegant figure wearing white long skirt was protected by those Nightmares.
Other than that, there were countless floating spiritual ent.i.ties around her.
Those ent.i.ties looked like specters, but were filled with spiritual energy. There was not a trace of the coldness of an undead creature......
“It’s the Devil Soul race. Princess Jinrou summoned the Devil Soul race,” said Shen Mo in astonishment.
The Devil Soul race was Nightmare Dynasty’s neighbour. The Devil Soul race was the crucial resource for New Moon Land to nurture powerful individuals. Only Devil Souls could change the quality of New Moon Land member’s racial potential......
The Devil Soul race had been heavily guarded by Nightmare Dynasty. The reason Nightmare Holy Region was not opened to the public was also because the Devil Souls were living in Nightmare Holy Region.
“There are several thousands of Devil Souls...... These Devil Souls don’t possess much fighting strength......” Yi Wu watched the spectral creature gathering around that princess.
“What are they doing?? Why are they flying towards the Sealed Tower??”
The Nightmare army began flying towards the middle city wall under Princess Jinrou’s order. They were probably trying to buy time for Wanxiang City as well.
Meanwhile, Princess Jinrou landed on Wanxiang Altar’s Sky Palace. She crossed her hands before her chest and chanted an incantation with her eyes closed.
Her black long hair and white skirt fluttered in the air. The surrounding Devil Souls began rotating into a spectral current. They also started chanting this unknown incantation with this woman at the center!
