Roar...
Just as Chu Tian was preparing to face these Illusionary Qilin.
A world-shaking roar came from behind him.
Then, the entire sky instantly turned black.
"What beast dares to enslave my Illusionary Qilin clan?"
Xiao Hei suddenly transformed into its true form. When it usually took the form of a dark qilin, it was only about the size of an ordinary mount.
But now, it had instantly entered its true combat state.
"Holy cow..." Miao Zuo was stunned!
He immediately knew that in his interactions and spars with the kid during this period, he hadn't been using his full strength.
Its body, thousands of meters large, blocked the scorching sun above Chu Tian's head.
Upon hearing Xiao Hei's voice, Chu Tian stopped in his tracks.
"Xiao Hei... what's going on?"
"Their souls are all missing a piece, clearly they were captured by someone! I've lived with them for over ten thousand years, I'm very familiar with each of their auras."
Xiao Hei's massive head, with its two gleaming eyes, stared unblinkingly at the more than ten thousand Illusionary Qilin flying below.
"Prepare for battle... don't hurt them!"
Chu Tian's eyes narrowed.
He had also noticed the anomaly; the Zhongdu Guards on the backs of the Illusionary Qilin all had dazed expressions.
They exuded a familiar scent.
Blood race...
"Damn it... boss, isn't this making things difficult for me?" Miao Zuo wore a bitter expression.
Chu Tian ignored him, his mind racing.
In the past year, there must have been major changes in the Sea of Death.
The Blood race might have already awakened.
Although... Chu Tian now felt that the Blood race was just a minor player. Compared to the Void Realm that could invade the entire universe,
They were nothing at all.
However... this group of guys was indeed a bad apple.
Outwardly not much, but inwardly... extremely harmful.
It was said that the Blood race was a race whose minds were only filled with aggression.
In their consciousness, there was only killing and death.
Either kill the other party, or assimilate them.
Now that Hurricane City had disappeared and the most important Zhongdu Guards of Myriad Beast City had been assimilated by the Blood race.
Without a doubt, Myriad Beast City had fallen.
Old City Lord Weidu, Old Li, Old Qin.
And Old Yang, who was at the peak of the God of War realm and could summon the Saint Body Tribulation at any time, where had they gone?
Chu Tian was filled with worry.
He was contemplating, while Miao Zuo had already charged down.
The talismans in his hand transformed into a silvery river, carrying a blood-red streak, shooting out.
"Xiao Hei, use a big move. I won't let you use it unless I say so!"
"Miao Zuo, give Wei Jin a Sky Soaring Talisman. You handle these guys."
"Wei Jin, follow me into the City Lord's mansion to investigate."
With a single command from Chu Tian,
His body went headfirst downwards, like an inverted icicle, plunging towards the ground.
Wei Jin followed closely behind.
"Boss..." Miao Zuo was very dejected.
He wanted to say, "Don't screw me over like this."
One against more than ten thousand.
Although the realms of these guys weren't high,
Those Illusionary Qilin were all genuine Nirvana realm cultivators!
You really think highly of me, asking me to stop them...
Before he could even finish speaking, Chu Tian and Wei Jin had already reached the ground.
To their surprise, they landed directly inside the City Lord's mansion.
They were not attacked at all.
It was as if only these Zhongdu Guards had been assimilated by the Blood race.
Besides them, there was no one else.
Chu Tian extended his divine sense.
The citizens within the city were all busy.
Everyone had been mobilized to build the city walls.
All of this was not an illusion.
But the City Lord's mansion ahead... was different.
Chu Tian's divine sense could not penetrate it.
What was going on?
Chu Tian and Wei Jin exchanged a glance.
"Master, Master..." Suddenly, Shou Shou's voice echoed in Chu Tian's mind.
"What is it?" Chu Tian retorted.
At this moment, for it to make a sound, something must have happened.
Otherwise, this simpleton would never call out without reason.
"Let me out, I can restore my original body!"
"Original body?" Chu Tian was stunned.
"Yes... Myriad Beast City is my original body!"
"What? You mean Myriad Beast City, the entire city, is also a magical artifact?"
Chu Tian was a bit confused.
"No, no... Shou Shou doesn't know how to explain it. Anyway, just let me out!"
Chu Tian knew that Shou Shou wasn't very bright, so he didn't ask further.
With a thought, the Myriad Beast Seal, shimmering with an earthy glow, appeared out of thin air.
"If I had been here all along, Myriad Beast City wouldn't have encountered such problems..."
After the Myriad Beast Seal appeared, it conveyed this sentiment to Chu Tian.
Immediately, it shone brightly.
Chu Tian felt the ground beneath him shake violently.
At this moment, the citizens within the city panicked.
"Master, I'll repair the grand formation first. Then, I'll need you to appease them. I need to re-condense Myriad Beast City."
Shou Shou's voice sounded again.
"Alright..."
A moment later, Chu Tian, using the Myriad Beast Seal and the city's formation, sent out a notification to the entire city.
"The City Lord is back?"
"It's the City Lord..."
"Quick... find a place and hold on!"
...At this moment, the panicked people of Myriad Beast City instantly quieted down.
Then, they let out excited cheers.
They had endured a very difficult year.
A year ago, the entire Sea of Death suddenly vibrated.
Myriad Beast City also shook violently at that moment.
Then, one of the divine suns in the sky flew away.
Countless sand seas collapsed, and countless springs gushed out.
Even lava was erupting.
The entire land was riddled with holes, and the entire Sea of Death felt like a different world.
They thought the world was about to be destroyed and fell into endless fear.
But... that wasn't the most terrifying part.
Because Myriad Beast City, amidst this catastrophe, stood as firm as a mountain.
Although it shook, there was no collapse or crack.
This catastrophe lasted for a full three days.
The residents of Myriad Beast City were on edge for three days.
When it was all over, a month passed.
Suddenly, their Old City Lord and two priests returned.
Originally, this should have been a happy occasion, but they couldn't be happy.
Because... Old City Lord Weidu and the two priests returned injured.
Their new City Lord... Chu Tian, did not return with them.
Subsequently, unrest began to spread...
That night... an army suddenly invaded Myriad Beast City.
All the citizens were awakened in the dead of night.
Fierce sounds erupted from the direction of the City Lord's mansion.
Shortly after, a massive sword light appeared.
This sword light, spanning thousands of miles...
Descending from the sky, amidst everyone's screams, it split Myriad Beast City into two...
The sword light plunged into the ground, and everyone faintly heard a dragon's roar.
After that, the City Lord's mansion fell completely silent.
Second... the people within the city, emboldened, went to investigate.
They discovered that the Zhongdu Guards had returned.
They were riding strange demonic beasts, stationed around the City Lord's mansion.
This greatly reassured the city's residents.
If the City Lord was their backbone, then the Zhongdu Guards were the City Lord's representatives in their hearts.
With them around, the City Lord would surely be fine.
The City Lord was likely just injured and recuperating.
Therefore... the people spontaneously began the work of maintaining their homeland.
This work lasted for over a year.
Just repairing the floating bridge that spanned the sword mark took several months.
This was Myriad Beast City. If something like this had happened in the City of Oblivion,
Someone would have likely gathered factions, stormed the City Lord's mansion, and usurped power.
