Chapter 2007 What could she do but send someone to warn us?
Da Zhou, Qing Shi County.
The sky suddenly turned inky black, the once clear sky was swallowed by a thick, gooey black fog, the last ray of sunlight was torn to shreds, and heaven and earth fell into eternal night.
From within the black mist came inhuman roars, a shrill cry intertwined with the sound of bones grinding together.
The soldiers guarding Qing Shi City were immediately thrown into a panic upon witnessing this scene.
A soldier shouted, "Evil spirits are attacking the city! Go and inform the Bureau of Demon Suppression!"
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, countless evil spirits rushed out of the black mist and crashed madly into the city walls of the county town.
Behind the evil spirits were some bizarre creatures with bloated, festering bodies, exposed flesh, and bare bones. They walked towards the county town, but unlike the evil spirits, they did not attack the city walls.
There weren't many soldiers on the city wall. Qing Shi City was just a small city with tens of thousands of people, and the total number of soldiers stationed there was only a few hundred.
However, the number of evil spirits is endless, and they are like black waves, one higher than the next.
As the evil spirits scaled the city walls, the once peaceful county town instantly turned into a living hell.
The crumbling walls collapsed in the fire, the mournful cries were drowned out by the howls of evil spirits, and black mist, carrying the stench of blood and decay, permeated the surrounding area.
Behind the wave of evil spirits, there were four figures exuding terrifying pressure.
One was as emaciated as a corpse, his skeletal frame wrapped in a tattered black robe; another was tall and robust, clad in blood-stained heavy armor, from which a sinister aura constantly seeped; yet another was handsome, almost demonic, with skin as white as snow, but half of his face occasionally revealed white bone; and the last one was as tall as a demon god, surrounded by countless wailing soul shadows, forming a writhing soul shadow shield.
At this moment, the Blood-Eyed Demon King, with his handsome appearance, eerie features, and blood-red eyes radiating a red light, spoke up: "I really admire you. Knowing that Yun Yudie's beliefs are not aligned with ours, you still wasted your time at the Heavenly Fortune Sect."
A few days ago, Yun Yudie sent the four Ghost Kings to the Heavenly Fortune Sect. The three Ghost Kings, including the Eternal Dark Ghost King, all went, but the Blood-Eyed Ghost King did not.
Because he knew that Yun Yudie's ideas were deeply ingrained. She pursued more perfect and higher-quality blood food and had already regarded the entire Great Zhou as her blood food field. She would never allow the four of them to destroy the Great Zhou and disrupt her blood food field, so they would not get any benefits from Yun Yudie.
If there's no benefit to them, why would they go?
Although the Blood-Eyed Ghost King was indeed not as strong as Yun Yudie, he was not afraid of Yun Yudie at all. After all, he was an immortal being, and the only way to deal with him was to seal him away.
Since everyone is immortal, what does it matter how strong Yun Yudie is?
Upon hearing Blood-Eyed Ghost King's words, the Eternal Dark Ghost King beside him, who looked like a dried corpse, spoke up: "If it weren't for the fact that she helped us back then, I wouldn't have gone to the Heavenly Fortune Sect."
Back then, the four Ghost Kings launched a strange rebellion, were defeated, and were suppressed and sealed by the Great Zhou Emperor and the first Zhennan King. At that time, Yun Yudie was also sealed in the Ghost Suppression Tower in order to save them. To a certain extent, they still had some relationship.
At this moment, the Ghost King of the Abyss said, "Since Yun Yudie is unwilling to give up even three counties, then we have nothing to say to her."
After returning from the Heavenly Fortune Sect, the three Ghost Kings had been waiting, expecting Yun Yudie to send someone to ask for their help soon. After all, the Heavenly Fortune Sect only had Yun Yudie as a Earth Realm Ghost King, and it was almost impossible for her to kidnap Lu Chen, a human with a special identity, from the heavily guarded capital.
However, so much time has passed, and Yun Yudie has still not sent any ghosts to inform them.
Just then, the Blood-Eyed Demon King found the three of them and invited them to launch a bizarre upheaval. Although the number of demons they ruled was relatively small, they could unite the evil spirits of this world, using them as the vanguard to conquer human cities, after which the demons would reap the rewards.
At this moment, the Blood-Eyed Ghost King said, "Once the strength of the Four Ghosts surpasses that of Yun Yudie, we will force her to hand over the Heavenly Fortune Sect to us. With the strange creatures of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, we can launch another strange upheaval. At that time, the entire Great Zhou will be ours. If she wants to raise blood food, let her raise it in other places."
What the four Ghost Kings coveted most was Yun Yudie's army of monsters. Yun Yudie was stronger than them, and she seemed to have a natural ability to suppress monsters. This caused most of the monsters to choose to join the Heavenly Fortune Sect. As a result, the four Ghost Kings had almost no monster soldiers.
The four ghosts had long disliked Yun Yudie, but since they were all immortal beings, none of them could do anything to the others.
Moreover, their overall strength is currently inferior to Yun Yudie's, so it's not time for them to turn against each other yet.
At this moment, the Eternal Dark King said, "It probably won't be long before Yun Yudie finds out about our strange disturbance. I wonder what she will do."
The Blood-Eyed Demon King said with a disdainful look, "What can she do? She can only send someone to warn us."
As beings that are immortal and indestructible, even if Yun Yudie is stronger than them, she can't do anything to them.
Just as the Eternal Dark Demon King was about to say something, the Blood-Eyed Demon King looked towards the completely fallen Blue Stone City in the distance and said, "We should also set off, otherwise those blind little minions will steal our blood offerings."
Tens of thousands of people weren't enough to feed the four Demon Kings, but they did help them recover some of their strength.
They actually wanted to attack those densely populated cities, but cities with large populations often had stronger fortune, and those cities were guarded by powerful Zhengui Guards, while the fortune of the Great Zhou would suppress their strength.
Even though they are of the Earth Realm, under the suppression of the Great Zhou's fortune, the strength they can exert is only at the Profound Realm. Even if those cities are not guarded by Earth Realm Guardians, they may still be unable to conquer them.
Therefore, their current strategy is to first devour the population of some small cities to continuously weaken the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then enhance their own strength.
Once their strength has recovered to a certain extent, the fortunes of the Great Zhou will have declined, and then they can attack those large prefectures.
……
News of the fall of Qing Shi City quickly spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing shock throughout the court and the country, and plunging the people of the Great Zhou into panic.
The Council Hall of the Bureau of Deception.
Sunlight streamed obliquely into the hall through the high windows, illuminating the serious, hard faces of the people.
The vast hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The Prince of Zhennan sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping across the hall. All the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division lowered their heads and held their breath, even breathing very softly.
The brighter the sky outside the window, the more oppressive the atmosphere inside the hall.
At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Speak, everyone, what are your thoughts on the fall of Qing Shi City?" (End of Chapter)
