c1343: 1118: The Enemy at the Gates

Cloud Cliff Base.

Gu Xunyou and Wei Chi stood on the edge wall constructed by the base, looking up into the distance.

Meteors streaked across the sky, spirit light shot like arrows, some relying on the Sun and Moon Ascension Array, others flying directly, as one by one, the experts from the Sky Patrol Department returned to the base and gathered on the city wall.

After a while, another stream of starlight descended, and with it, the demon soul carrying Slime Soft appeared in the field.

"Hmm? Who are you!"

Nearby, a crew-cut White Tiger Royal Envoy immediately asked warily.

Although this person looked identical to Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan, the aura was completely different, eerie and unfamiliar!

"Old Jin, don’t get excited." Not far away, He Xianyin smiled and spoke, "This is the avatar of Royal Envoy Su."

Jiang Lan, who had returned earlier, also nodded: "That’s right."

The demon soul nodded, cupped his fists, and said, "Greetings, Royal Envoys."

Soft: "Puchi!"

"The avatar of Royal Envoy Su..." For a moment, everyone on the side curiously scrutinized.

People like Jiang Lan, He Xianyin, and others who were familiar knew that Su Yuan had an avatar, but few had seen it.

"It’s almost indistinguishable from the real person, and seems to possess a strength different from Royal Envoy Su... what a marvelous body outside avatar!"

Many of the royal envoys looked on with envy.

A body outside avatar, especially a top-tier one, represents a considerable growth potential in combat power for a Star Card Master, usable even at King Level or Emperor Level!

After a long time, no one else returned.

At this moment, the number of royal envoys within the base was noticeably less than before.

At the front, Wei Chi spoke up: "Are we missing those people?"

Liang Cheng had already counted the personnel, hesitated slightly, and said: "Our Vermilion Bird Imperial’s Zhang Mingzheng, Yu Bo, Zeng Minghua, as well as White Tiger Imperial’s Liu Dong, Zhang Shencong, five in total."

"Five people..." Wei Chi murmured softly to himself.

Upon hearing of these five people’s demise, many of the royal envoys showed solemn expressions.

It was just the initial engagement, and five King Levels had fallen, including Zhang Mingzheng, a mid-level King Envoy of the Vermilion Bird Imperial.

Currently, the Sun and Moon Ascension Array has not been activated. According to the orders of Fang Qingxiao, everyone was to fight while retreating, prioritizing the preservation of strength.

Even so, these five couldn’t even manage a retreat!

"They’re here!"

After the incense burned for two sticks, Liang Cheng spoke in a steady voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, several demon beasts’ silhouettes flew over from the skyline ahead.

Among them, the foremost shadow came charging like a cannonball, landing with a foot on the ground in front of the city wall...

"Boom!!"

With a loud explosion, the ground trembled, and the ground within a radius of several hundred meters instantly shattered!

The people of the Sky Patrol Department on the wall also felt a fierce shaking, with several almost unable to stand.

"Such astonishing strength!"

The people of the Sky Patrol Department were all shocked as they looked into the crater.

They saw a small yet robustly muscular Demon King walking out of the pit, looking up at the city wall.

"So they’ve all retreated to their lair!" The Demon King looked at the people of the Sky Patrol Department above, licking his lips, "Directly assaulting Yellow Dragon, it seems my choice to come here directly was correct!"

"A Sixth Stage Yellow Mountain Guard!" The Sky Patrol Department crew had subtle expressions.

From this person’s aura and clothing... it was indeed a Sixth Stage Yellow Mountain Guard!

"They say the early bird catches the worm, Mo He, you’re not stupid..." In almost an instant, dim light flickered, and an elderly man with a shadowy face flew in with several Demon Kings, landing not far away.

Sixth Stage, Dark Erosion Guard!

Mo He turned to look at the old man, face turning cold: "Yin Jue, if you don’t know how to speak, I can start by breaking your mouth!"

"Hehehe..." Yin Jue let out a thin, cold laugh, unconcerned, "If you want to be hunted by the Eight Divine Generals, please, act against me~"

Mo He glared at him coldly but ultimately just snorted.

This battle was watched by the Imperial Court, and if anyone dared to stir up internal strife, they would surely be obliterated by those above once they returned.

The Eight Divine Generals were powerful King Beasts selected from across several Imperial Courts, responsible for the entire Grey Realm, holding positions close to Emperor Level!

Yin Jue looked towards Wei Chi on the wall and continued: "Instead of targeting me, better to use your strength on the person in front."

"Need you to say that!"

Mo He lifted his right hand, causing a cracked stone to levitate and grasped it.

"Heavy!"

Star power surged in Mo He’s palm, an ever-deepening wave converged onto the stone in his right hand.
