"Return of the Netherworld!" After barely recovering some of the emptiness caused by overexertion, Wang Long gestured with his right hand, and a beam of Divine Light pierced into the void of the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs. Suddenly, a Bronze City appeared before everyone, emanating an endless aura of death. A white light burst forth from the body of the Third Realm Envoy, which had been severed in two by Cai Burin, and was directly drawn into the Bronze City with a strong sense of unwillingness.
"What is this..." Even a fool could now understand that Wang Long's identity was highly suspicious. The scene before them left them utterly astonished.
In the past, the divine clan had suffered a significant loss against the Yin Ghost Clan due to some unknown secrets. The specific reasons had been sealed off at that time, but since then, the divine clan had begun to vigorously suppress any exploration related to spirits and ghosts. Therefore, within the divine clan, experts like Cai Burin, who were elders of Major Sects, still had some understanding and even combat experience regarding ghosts. In contrast, ordinary experts like Hua Ruhai had knowledge that was even below that level!
When Wang Long was about to engage in battle with Yang Fuhai, Yang Fuhai had already summoned various ghost kings trapped within the Bronze City to fight against Wang Long.
Now witnessing Wang Long's ability to summon spirits like the Third Realm Envoy, they couldn't help but show expressions of shock and fear.
Wang Long focused on drawing the soul of the Third Realm Envoy into the Bronze City. Regardless of how terrifying or fearsome he had been in life, once drawn in, he could only be forcefully controlled by Wang Long.
Of course, similar to the Eight Great Demon Kings, if Wang Long's commands contradicted their own will, their strength would not be fully realized.
However, Wang Long did not mind forcibly erasing part of their Spiritual Awareness when dealing with such enemies.
Moreover, more importantly, Wang Long had already interacted with the Third Realm several times; each encounter revealed more of their astonishing power. Yet he still knew too little about their true nature!
This Superior was already a high-ranking figure within the Third Realm; without mentioning anything else, he had a profound understanding of its realities and illusions.
To be a warrior, one must know oneself and one's enemy to ensure victory in every battle. Wang Long waved his right hand to retract the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs, bringing everyone back to their senses as they were eager to uncover its mysteries.
Regardless of anything else, they were still comrades with Wang Long at this moment. No matter who or what Wang Long truly was, they had to acknowledge that without his strong assistance this time, not only would there have been many casualties along the way, but this powerful Third Realm Envoy alone could have turned Feather City upside down!
"Wang Long, thank you for your help this time. Their target was me; seeing how strong they were made me think there was no hope for survival," Shunshen said as he regained his composure.
"What Lord Shunshen said is unnecessary; with your strength and abilities, even if you couldn't defeat those Third Realm experts this time, you could have escaped directly. It was just that your sense of responsibility towards everyone in Fire Mountain City made you want to hold back that Third Realm Envoy with your own strength. Hehe, I truly admire you, Lord Shunshen."
"You are the one who deserves admiration. Regardless of anything else, they are still people from my divine clan. As a member of the Ancient Divine Clan and given that their target is me personally, I have an obligation to act accordingly. But you are different. You are not from the divine clan yet willingly took such great risks for this matter. With your intelligence, you should realize how perilous our victory was this time and how much you exposed your hidden treasures. Was it worth it for you?" Shunshen looked intently at Wang Long. Throughout this journey, he had never fully seen through this young man; unexpectedly in the end, he misjudged him again—though ultimately it resulted in a happy ending for all.
"Because," Wang Long said with a sly grin that made Shunshen feel a bad premonition, "this time my purpose is to find Lord Shunshen and ask for your help in solving a major problem. I hope Lord Shunshen can assist me."
Shunshen looked at his smile and suddenly felt as if he had fallen from a wolf's den into a tiger's lair...
"Fine, no matter what, I owe you a favor this time, so I will hear your intentions. However, we need to first see how things are going in Feather City."
Lin Jueying led most of the elite forces from Feather City against the Toxic Corpses, which had been created by some unknown method used by those experts from the Third Realm, and they were caught in a bitter struggle.
Fortunately, after enduring fierce battles, each of their warriors was battle-hardened and disciplined, far beyond ordinary standards. Moreover, the strength of those Toxic Corpses was too weak; as long as they carefully avoided the areas shrouded in toxic mist, they could inflict significant damage on them.
By the time Wang Long and the others arrived at the northeast corner to assess the situation, they had managed to eliminate all the Toxic Corpses.
However, the price they paid made Wang Long's heart bleed!
Countless experts had been used as cannon fodder without any layered protection during the charge, especially against these Toxic Corpses! They held their formation without any adaptability! On the surface, their formation seemed capable of withstanding attacks from any direction, but in reality, the greatest threat they faced was the increasingly dense toxic mist that rendered their Water Elemental Shield nearly ineffective. Under such circumstances, holding their ground meant that many casualties could have been avoided!
On the surface, it appeared that Feather City had achieved a great victory by eliminating all these potential threats.
But in reality, Wang Long was utterly disappointed with their command skills and truly did not understand how they had survived the siege from the Demon Clan!
"It seems you arrived a step too late," Lin Jueying said with an unusual smile on his face that further frustrated Wang Long. "All the Toxic Corpses here have been defeated. I just wonder when this annoying toxic mist will dissipate. It's so potent that anyone who gets touched by it dies; we can't even get close!"
"So you're saying that the northeast corner of Feather City has completely lost its defensive capability?" Mr. Fan asked with a frown, completely unaware of the strong sense of boasting in Lin Jueying's words.
"Ahem, that should be the case. We need to wait for this toxic mist to clear up. Moreover, other nearby areas must also be cautious as this toxic mist may spread with the wind. Order the entire city to go into lockdown! Mr. Fan, rest assured; now that the Demon Clan has retreated and all Third Realm experts have been eliminated by you, even if we cannot recover immediately, there will be no enemies coming to stir trouble again. Don't worry."
"Report!" At that moment, a scout flew over from a distance to deliver news.
"Speak!" Lin Jueying's mood was extremely displeased. Did he have to act as the highest commander of Feather City and show his face in front of outsiders? If something unexpected happened to the Lord of the City and he couldn't return safely, with such a reputation, he should be able to directly become the new Lord of Feather City, right? Yet at this moment, someone dared to disturb him! He had already secretly decided that if the information reported by this scout was not important enough, he would immediately have him killed!
"Outside the city! Outside the city..." To his surprise, the scout seemed to have discovered something, revealing a look of panic and stumbling over his words, only pointing fearfully towards outside the city.
"Waste!" Lin Jueying had initially prided himself on being dignified as a superior, but now he was infuriated by his subordinate's incompetence. He kicked him aside and led his men up to the City Wall.
Wang Long had originally wanted to ask Shunshen to explain the situation regarding the destruction of the Gateway to the Abyss, but now he could only hold off for the moment as they headed towards the City Wall.
"What is this!"
Looking outside, he saw that at some point, a dense crowd had gathered.
Not only that, but their appearance was extremely strange. If they were going to attack, they had no formation whatsoever, and they didn't seem to possess much Spiritual Essence; it was just a large number of people.
But could it be said that they had no ill intentions? What were so many people doing surrounding Feather City at this late hour?
"Those are Toxic Corpses!" Shunshen, with his keen eyesight, finally recognized their difference from ordinary divine beings after careful observation—there was not a trace of life vitality in them.
A mass of dark figures with pale faces and vacant eyes approached Feather City as if driven by some curse or spirit.
Moreover, beneath their skin, a faint green hue could be seen, identical to what they had encountered before with Toxic Corpses.
"What! Toxic Corpses!" Everyone, even someone as fearless as Cai Burin, felt a chill in their hearts.
The sheer number of Toxic Corpses was likely dozens of times that of those in the Northeast District! They had already suffered tremendous losses trying to eliminate those Toxic Corpses before; now even if they were still outside the city and had the assistance of walls and magical formations, could they really eliminate them in the end?
What was even more despairing was that even if they exerted all their strength to kill them all...
But what about those toxic mists? Even if some special measures are taken to prevent everyone from inhaling the toxic mist and suffering a total defeat, it would still be enough to turn Feather City into a dead city!
"Wait, aren't those villagers from Holy Forest Village?"
"Look, those are the caravan guards from Beilu Village; I've seen them before!"
"Dad! Why has my dad turned into a Toxic Corpse?"
Suddenly, the ordinary soldiers on the City Wall let out a series of exclamations.
These words reached Lin Jueying and the others' ears, causing their faces to turn from pale to green.
Could it be that all these Toxic Corpses outside are actually villagers from the surrounding villages of Feather City who were killed and turned into these?
If that's the case, based on what can be seen now...
It seems that more than half of the villages under Feather City's jurisdiction have already become dead villages!
