1025: Trampling Canglan City (Part 1)

On the towering walls of Canglan City, the atmosphere became solemn.

The unfortunate Undead Warrior patrol team members, upon hearing their captain's words, quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Turen, the highest general in charge of Canglan City's defense, was also one of the only two remaining Ninth-Stage Middle Stage powerhouses in Canglan City.

Caught by the highest general overseeing city defense for shouting during patrol, the members of this patrol team secretly lamented their bad luck while begging for mercy.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the patrol team members looking terrified, Turen snorted coldly.

"You sure are bold!"

"These past few days, I've repeatedly ordered you not to be distracted during patrol and to maintain the highest vigilance, but it turns out you haven't taken it to heart at all!"

"What? Now that Lord Ogre, the City Lord, is gone, are you trying to rebel?"

He spoke coldly, and magic power had already gathered in his left hand, clearly intending to use these few patrol team members as a warning to others.

"Lord, spare us, we know we were wrong!"

"The reason we were noisy during patrol today was simply because we were worried that Lord Kahn had gone out of the city and had not yet returned..."

Hearing Turen's stern tone, especially feeling the faintly gathering magic power fluctuations, the patrol team captain and members all panicked and begged for mercy.

"Worried about Lord Kahn?"

Upon hearing this, Turen, who was about to act, narrowed his eyes, and his expression became very ugly.

Mentioning Kahn, he couldn't help but recall the terrifying power fluctuations that had just dissipated outside the city.

With his Ninth-Stage Middle Stage strength, he could clearly confirm that the terrifying power fluctuations that had risen outside earlier came from Ninth-Stage Late Stage powerhouses, and there wasn't just one, but a full five.

However...

Turen could only confirm that among these five Ninth-Stage Late Stage power fluctuations, one belonged to Kahn, while he knew nothing about the other four.

Of course, that wasn't important.

What was important was that the other four Ninth-Stage Late Stage power fluctuations disappeared one after another in a very short time, leaving only one in the end.

And in the end, even Lord Kahn's power fluctuations disappeared outside the city.

It was precisely because of this situation that he left the Guardian Array control core and came to the city wall to check the situation, and then he incidentally discovered this undisciplined patrol team.

"When Lord Kahn left the city today, was there anything unusual? Or did he bring anyone?"

Looking at the patrol team members kneeling before him, Turen silently dispersed the power in his hand.

Speaking of which, he was quite tragic; three Dead Spirit Saints came to Canglan City, but he, one of Canglan City's high-ranking officials, had no idea and was kept in the dark.

"Lord Turen, your subordinate also heard from the captain of Patrol Team Alpha-13 that when Lord Kahn left the city, he brought three clansmen shrouded in black robes. Who these three clansmen specifically were, he didn't see clearly."

Noticing that Turen's attitude had softened, the patrol team captain quickly divulged everything he knew, not daring to hide anything.

Whether he could survive tonight depended on whether he could pass this hurdle.

"He left the city with three clansmen in black robes?"

Hearing the patrol team captain's words, Turen's brows furrowed.

"Could it be that the reinforcements sent by the Holy City have arrived?"

A guess popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but nod secretly.

This speculation was consistent with the situation he had perceived outside tonight; among those five power fluctuations belonging to Ninth-Stage Late Stage powerhouses, four should belong to Kahn and the other three mysterious clansmen.

It's just...

"The reinforcements dispatched by the Holy City have arrived, and they didn't even inform us at all?"

"Lord Kahn, he's truly arrogant!"

Thinking that he had only just received the news, Turen felt secretly annoyed.

No matter what, he was now one of the strongest in Canglan City, and it was very likely that he would replace Ogre and become the new City Lord of Canglan City in the future.

For Kahn to underestimate him like this now was simply too presumptuous!

However, although he was angry, Turen did not show it on the surface.

He still knew what was important; Kahn was not only stronger than him, but as a City Lord of the Upper Five Cities, his status was also above his, and he could not openly discuss it, nor could he let Kahn know of his hidden dissatisfaction.

"Get out!"

"If I catch you again next time, you know the consequences!"

Looking at the patrol team members trembling on the ground, Turen waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

Since the Holy City's reinforcements had arrived, there was no need to pay attention to the terrifying power fluctuations that had erupted outside earlier.

It must be Kahn leading the Lords from the Holy City, hunting down that Human Race's Wang Chen.

As for why the Qi disappeared one after another, Turen didn't think much of it, only believing that Kahn and the Lords from the Holy City were playing with Wang Chen like a cat catches a mouse.

After all, although Wang Chen's strength was formidable, he was still no match for Kahn alone, so how could he be an opponent for the lineup Kahn brought tonight?

"I need to spread this news as soon as possible. After Wang Chen dies, Kahn will probably leave Canglan City very soon, and we will have a lot to do next."

Thinking of the heavily damaged subordinate settlements recently, Turen felt very troubled.

Next, whether it was him or the other Ninth-Stage Middle Stage companion who took over as Canglan City's City Lord, they would face a situation of having nothing to work with.

Now that most of the subordinate settlements had been destroyed, for one thing, this year's blood sacrifice ritual to the Mother Goddess definitely couldn't be held as usual; there weren't enough sacrifices prepared.

"If only we could directly attack those Human Race towns and plunder those Human Race as blood food, it would greatly improve Canglan City's current situation."

Turen, who was about to leave the city wall, thought to himself.

However, just as he was about to step off the city wall, his steps suddenly paused, and exclamations rang out in his ears.

"Look, what's that?"

"Is it a meteorite falling? Why is it falling in a straight line?"

"Look closely, there seems to be a figure inside!"

Many Undead Warriors looked outside the city in horror, shouting continuously.

"Making a fuss, do you all want to be punished with labor..."

Hearing these exclamations, Turen's face turned somewhat ugly, and he turned his head to reprimand.

But, before he could finish his words, the angry expression on his face froze.

His eyes widened like copper bells, looking at the area outside the city in shock.

At the end of his vision, a huge ball of light was flying rapidly, like a great sun falling into the world, emitting terrifying light and heat, distorting the light wherever it passed.

And behind that ball of light, layers of Qi waves surged, practically turning the sky into a turbulent sea.
