45: Level 1 alert!

“This… this, this, this…”

Inside the Martial Alliance office.

Alliance Leader Yun, a portly man, stood on the balcony, gazing at the black crack in the sky. Beads of sweat involuntarily dripped down his face.

Immediately after, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and a look of panic surfaced.

One must know, even when facing the Demonization Pill and Warden Kong Xin’s interrogation, he had not been this flustered. But when confronted with that hideous crack in the sky, he, one of Yun City’s true power-holders… was completely panicked!

“Gate of Summoning, Otherworldly Demon crack… Devil King… descending!!!”

Alliance Leader Yun’s voice was slightly trembling, filled with a sense of terror.

“This, this, this, Yun City is merely the most remote city in the Great Xia Territory. Why would a Gate of Summoning appear here?! What exactly is going on?!!!”

Alliance Leader Yun’s voice seemed to be quivering, but he quickly reacted.

He instantly rushed out of the office and roared.

“All Martial Alliance personnel, listen to my command!!!”

“Immediately drop everything you are doing, ascend the city walls at once, and sound… the first-Rank alarm!!!”

Alliance Leader Yun’s voice instantly spread throughout the entire Martial Alliance building.

Numerous Martial Artists within the Martial Alliance building were first slightly stunned after hearing Alliance Leader Yun’s voice, then an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

But they quickly reacted, swiftly put down what they were doing, and rushed towards the city walls.

Yun City… Military Department!

Garrison Chief Chen stood in a military camp, looking at the screen within the camp. The screen clearly displayed the black crack that had appeared in the sky.

Looking at that crack, which exuded an extremely evil Qi, Garrison Chief Chen’s already icy expression became even more grim, so much so that water could almost drip from it.

“Damn it, there really are traces of Demon Sect rats in Yun City!!!”

Garrison Chief Chen’s voice carried a hint of coldness.

“All personnel, listen to my command: ascend the city, prepare for defense!!!”

“At the same time, sound the military’s first-Rank alarm and send out a distress signal to the provincial capital!!!”

Garrison Chief Chen issued one command after another in an orderly fashion.

Immediately, the soldiers of the military, like machines, began to execute the orders.

Garrison Chief Chen looked at the screen with a grave expression in his eyes.

“The Gate of Summoning has appeared, and the Demon Sect people have shown themselves again. I just don’t know which of the three factions—Heaven, Earth, or Human—it is…”

“But why would a remote small city like Yun City have the Gate of Summoning placed here? Is it targeting Warden Kong?”

Garrison Chief Chen muttered, a hint of confusion in his eyes… Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

A series of urgent sounds instantly spread throughout Yun City.

And with the blaring of these urgent alarm sounds, countless people still walking on the streets also began to change their expressions.

They started rushing back to their homes, their eyes filled with panic.

Swish swish swish!!!

Figures rushed out from all directions of Yun City. They all hurried towards the city gates, their eyes filled with solemnity.

“First-Rank alarm, what exactly is going on? And… what the hell is that crack in the sky?”

For a time, the entire Yun City fell into chaos.

Discussions also erupted in the streets and alleys.

“I don’t know, but a first-Rank alarm is no joke. When a first-Rank alarm sounds… it clearly represents a city-destroying level disaster!”

“Damn it, our Yun City is just a small, remote city, why would a city-destroying level disaster occur?!”

These Martial Artists had somewhat grim expressions, but they still rushed towards the city walls.

The alarms of the Martial Alliance and the military were divided into several Ranks!

A third-Rank alarm meant that Vicious Beasts or Demon Sect members were causing trouble, requiring everyone to cooperate with the Martial Alliance and the Great Xia military’s inspection to prevent these individuals from causing chaos within the city.

A second-Rank alarm meant that a disaster like a Tide of Ferocious Beasts was occurring, requiring the city’s military and the Martial Alliance to join forces to resist the invasion of the Tide of Ferocious Beasts!

As for a first-Rank alarm… it represented a city-destroying level disaster. And often, when such an alarm was sounded, it either meant that the defenses of the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield had fallen, and Otherworldly Demons were about to descend upon the Great Xia Territory.

Or… it meant a new Otherworldly Demon Battlefield was born!

Regardless of which it was… for any city, even a provincial capital, it was an extremely terrifying disaster.

Above the first-Rank alarm, there existed a special-Rank alarm. When a special-Rank alarm was sounded… it meant that all Otherworldly Demon Battlefield defenses had completely fallen, and Otherworldly Demons would descend unrestrained upon the Great Xia Territory.

Countless common people would die in this catastrophe.

Countless Martial Artists would become the Otherworldly Demons’ best food!

Countless cities would be completely annihilated!

Since the establishment of Great Xia, the special-Rank alarm had been sounded a total of two times!

Each time it was sounded, it meant that the entire Great Xia would enter its final desperate struggle. All ordinary people and Martial Artists would be taken over by the military and the Martial Alliance.

Anyone who disobeyed orders, no matter who… would be executed on the spot!

Great Xia… would become an iron barrel!

And now… with the sounding of the first-Rank alarm, the entire Yun City also fell into chaos. Fortunately, the military and Martial Alliance personnel quickly appeared.

Some people ascended the city walls, preparing for defense, while others appeared in the streets and alleys of Yun City, reassuring all the citizens.

At the same time, inside the Martial Arts Training Hall of Jiang City First High School.

Urgent alarm sounds kept ringing.

Garrison Chief Chen and the principal’s expressions immediately turned grim. The two exchanged glances, and then Garrison Chief Chen said in a deep voice to the somewhat flustered students of the Martial Arts Class.

“All Martial Arts Class students stay where you are! Do not take a single step out of the Martial Arts Training Hall!”

With that, Garrison Chief Chen looked at Lan Linglong.

Although Garrison Chief Chen did not know Kong Xin, he knew Lan Linglong’s identity: the second Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall Master, and she even possessed Viscera Refining Realm cultivation.

Currently, within the Martial Arts Training Hall, Lan Linglong had the highest cultivation.

Lan Linglong also noticed Garrison Chief Chen’s gaze. The smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by an expression of complete calm.

Lan Linglong spoke softly: “Instructor Chen can make the arrangements himself!”

“As for Lu Sheng… I need to take him with me!”

Garrison Chief Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. Although Lu Sheng was a Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall, he was also a student of the Martial Arts Class. If possible, he would rather Lu Sheng stay in the Martial Arts Training Hall.

This would be safer. After all, Lu Sheng’s talent was excellent, and in such a crisis, Garrison Chief Chen wanted Lu Sheng to stay under his watchful eye even more.
