867: Prepare

In the inn room, Wang Chen didn't care about Xuanqing Snake King's surprise.

These current strength improvements are just an appetizer.

After Blade City is destroyed, that will be the main course!

“It seems their vigilance is still high; my actions in the Demon Beast Forest these past two nights must have attracted their attention.”

“But it doesn't matter. Although the Guardian Array's defensive barrier is sturdy, it’s not unbreakable.”

Wang Chen said, his eyes gradually becoming colder, and he asked Xuanqing Snake King:

“Have you made proper preparations for infiltrating Blade City as I instructed?”

Blade City's Guardian Array barrier defends against everything except the Dead Spirit Race, but it is not impenetrable to the Dead Spirit Race.

As long as the right method is used, one can enter it.

Coincidentally, when interrogating Zoltan, the Great Commander of the Blade City Guardian Legion, Xuanqing Snake King forced out the method to enter the Guardian Array's defensive barrier.

These past two days, besides having Xuanqing Snake King monitor Blade City's situation, Wang Chen also had him work on this countermeasure.

“Reporting to my lord, I have already created the pass token to enter the Guardian Array's defensive barrier.”

Xuanqing Snake King nodded, respectfully took out a dark green token, and presented it:

“This token captures the Aura of the Dead Spirit Race and is of the same origin as the Guardian Array. However, when using this token to enter the Guardian Array's defensive barrier, there will also be a manual inspection…”

“You don't need to worry about that.”

Wang Chen took the token, played with it in his hand, and said in a very relaxed tone:

“I will attract the attention of the entire Blade City from the front, making the Dead Spirit Strong in Blade City unable to attend to anything else. At that time, you can quietly infiltrate Blade City with this token without any hindrance, and the chance of destroying the Guardian Array's energy core will be very high.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen tossed the token to Xuanqing Snake King, along with a spatial ring.

“This spatial ring contains a large amount of Skyfire Thunder. Be careful for your own safety when using it; do not be within the blast radius of the Skyfire Thunder, otherwise, even with your strength, there will be a risk of serious injury.”

Skyfire Thunder is similar to a grenade on Blue Star, but its power is more than a notch stronger. A single explosion has the power to threaten a seventh-tier practitioner and is highly favored by practitioners in the Netherworld.

The spatial ring Wang Chen gave contained a full 1,800 Skyfire Thunders, which he had spent a lot of crystal stones to have Wanbao Pavilion urgently procure, almost sweeping clean the entire stock of Skyfire Thunder from Wanbao Chamber of Commerce branches within the Chu Kingdom.

If these 1,800 Skyfire Thunders explode simultaneously, even a ninth-tier Early Stage Strong would not dare to withstand it head-on. It is more than enough to destroy the energy core of the Blade City Guardian Array.

“I will remember your Lordship’s reminder.”

Xuanqing Snake King's face showed a hint of joy upon hearing this, and he carefully put on the spatial ring containing the Skyfire Thunder.

If this thing were to explode right now, he would probably be blown to smithereens.

“Since everything is ready, then we shall act tonight!”

Seeing this, Wang Chen said no more and waved his hand, telling Xuanqing Snake King to go and prepare.

… …

… …

Tonight.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The bright moonlight cast a silvery white glow over the continuous trees of the Demon Beast Forest, which looked beautiful from afar.

However, in the very center of the Demon Beast Forest, an incongruity appeared.

A pale yellow light shield, covering an area of dozens of miles and resembling an inverted giant bowl, dispersed the silvery moonlight.

Beneath the pale yellow light shield, many Undead Warriors patrolled back and forth on the magnificent city walls, each of their gazes firmly fixed on the darkness outside the light shield.

However, compared to the previous days, the expressions on the faces of these Undead Warriors were no longer so solemn; instead, they had a few more hints of ease.

After all, these past two days had been peaceful, the Human True Lord whose Aura was terrifying outside Blade City had not reappeared, and there were no longer such frequent battle fluctuations in the Demon Beast Forest as in the past.

Everything seemed to indicate that the terrifying Human True Lord had left the Demon Beast Forest area, and Blade City was safe!

“That Human True Lord was truly formidable that day!”

“I heard that the City Lord suffered serious injuries in a head-on clash with him and has been recuperating in a secret chamber in the City Lord's Mansion these past few days.”

“That formidable? The City Lord is a ninth-tier Middle Stage Strong, and he ranks among the top in our race!”

On the city wall, a patrolling team of Undead Warriors, seeing that it was calm outside, couldn't help but start chatting among themselves. Their discussion naturally revolved around the great battle that occurred outside Blade City two days ago, and that terrifying and fearsome Human Race Strong!

“Who says not? You don't know, that day I was patrolling on the city wall and personally saw Great Commander Zoltan suppressed by that Human True Lord with a flip of his hand, killed without even the slightest resistance.”

“Recalling that scene now, my heart still trembles!”

An older Undead Warrior in the squad recalled what happened that day, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear.

The dignified Great Commander of the Blade City Guardian Legion, ninth-tier Early Stage Strong Zoltan, was first subjected to inhuman torture and then beheaded in front of everyone.

Such a scene has now become a nightmare for many Undead Warriors in Blade City, making them afraid to recall it.

“How can the Human Race act so arrogantly now? It's been hundreds of years since I've heard of such a blatant invasion and display of power!”

“Could this appearance mean that the Human Race intends to provoke a great war with our race? If that's truly the case, perhaps our chance to achieve meritorious deeds will come!”

A young-looking Undead Warrior said with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Among the Dead Spirit Race, class solidification is extremely severe; each position is fixed, and one can only obtain corresponding resources by being in the corresponding position. Without major changes, many Dead Spirit Race members can only die of old age in their current posts for their entire lives.

If a great war between the two races were to break out, it would definitely create countless opportunities, and the door to upward promotion would also open.

“Kid, put away your unrealistic ideas!”

Hearing the young Dead Spirit's words, several older ones next to him couldn't help but turn their heads and glare at him, scoffing:

“If a great war between the two races really breaks out, we will only be cannon fodder in the war, and we will be the first to die.”

“If you want merit and glory, you first have to be alive.”

In response, the young Dead Spirit and several others of similar age all nodded in agreement, but deep down, they were somewhat dismissive.

Being able to achieve meritorious deeds, even if it's just one chance, is better than being a minion on the city wall year after year.

Seeing the appearance of these young companions, the older Dead Spirit Race members couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

They were about to scold them a few more times when suddenly, a cry of surprise came from their ears.

“Look, what's that?”
