921 Attacking Blood Shadow City and Taking the Emperor. (1/2)
…
This was a night with howling wind and a lack of moonlight. Blood was bound to be spilled.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't unfamiliar with Demon Race's capital, Blood Shadow City. That was because he actually came here once before and kidnapped a Demon general without anyone realizing it.
However, as the capital, Blood Shadow City was extremely well-guarded. The strongest experts of the Demon Race were all gathered here.
Facing the well-guarded Demon Race's capital that had countless experts…
Fang Zhengzhi decided to go through the front door!
The sound of a flying arrow broke the silence of the night. It was an arrow used to deliver a letter. It drew a beautiful curve in the air from outside of Blood Shadow City and ultimately landed on the flag hanging at the top of the city wall.
”It's an enemy's attack!”
”Enemy's attack!”
”…”
The guards atop the city wall started shouting soon enough. Countless torches lit up the city and many of the guards drew their bows.
However, there was no one in front of Blood Shadow City.
”General, there's a letter on the arrow!”
”Letter? Bring it to me!” The general stationed at the city wall didn't waste any time before he took the letter that the soldiers passed to him.
It was a dirt-brown envelope which wasn't too big. However, 'To Yun Qingwu', was written clearly and powerfully on the envelope.
”It's for the Young Lord? I'll report this right now, you guys will keep guarding the city's gates!” The Demon general gave his order fairly quickly after he read the words on the envelope.
”Yes!” The Demon soldiers obeyed his orders.
…
There were nine walls in Blood Shadow City, and each of them was heavily guarded. The entire city was a massive circular fortress.
The Demon general walked fast, but he was stopped by four soldiers guarding the second wall. Each of them was holding a sharp spear.
”Hold your step, why are you entering the city?”
”I'm Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city's gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.
”Where are your token and the letter?”
”Here's my token and the letter, please take a look.”
”Ok, you may enter.”
”Yes!” The Demon general nodded and passed through the second wall and rushed towards the third wall while holding the dirt-brown envelope high in the air.
”Hold your step!” The guards at the third wall soon stopped the general. There were four soldiers again.
”I'm Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city's gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.
”Where are your token and the letter?”
”Here's my token and the letter, please take a look.”
”Ok, you may enter.”
”…”
After going through numerous city walls, the general finally arrived outside of the Demonic Hall, which was located at the center of Blood Shadow City.
”Hold your step. Why are you rushing towards the Demonic Hall in the middle of the night!” Eight soldiers wearing black armors standing outside the door stopped the general once again.
”I'm Min Yu, the head of the guards of the city's gate. We received a letter from the enemy that is specifically addressed to the Young Lord. I feel that this is an urgent matter so I should deliver the letter to the Demonic Hall personally!” The Demon general replied hastily.
”Addressed to the Young Lord? What the hell, don't you know that the Young Lord has gone to the Holy Region together with the Demon Deity two days ago?” The soldiers glanced at the envelope in his hands. An unnoticeable flash of light appeared in their eyes and they looked a little puzzled.
”Went to the Holy Region?” The general was startled.
However, at this moment…
Several additional Demon soldiers arrived.
”Report!”
”Report!”
”What's the big deal?” The soldiers guarding the Demonic Hall raised their spears when they saw the other soldiers approaching the hall.
”General, general, there's bad news! Meng… Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian… Is… Is outside the city. He's about to attack… Attack the city…” The few soldiers quickly reported as they rushed over.
”What?! Sagely Battle God Meng Tian! Are you guys… Sure that it's him?” The eight soldiers guarding the Demonic Hall were shocked.
Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was too much of an overpowering existence to the soldiers of the Demon Race. After all, his legend was still told all around the Blood Shadow City till today.
”Yes, it's Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. Furthermore, Master Lin Ji is also there. Meng Tian tied her up and they are right outside the city's gates right now. I saw it clearly!”
”Wait here. I'll inform the Demon Lord immediately!”
”Yes!”
The Demon soldier just took a step before it seemed like he had recalled something. He turned around and told the general, ”You, pass me the letter and wait here too.”
”Yes.” The general handed the letter to the guard and backed away respectfully.
…
A fire soon appeared in the Demonic Hall and the gemstones engraved onto the walls of the hall also lit up, illuminating the entire Demonic Hall as if it was daytime.
”Demon Lord, I have a report!”
”What is it?” Emperor Yun, who was sitting on the throne, raised his head. However, he did not put down the pen in his hand.
”Sagely Battle God Meng Tian is here!”
Pa! The pen in Emperor Yun's hand dropped onto the paper and the ink smudged the writings on the paper. Despite that, he didn't even take a single look at it.
That was because he had already stood up from his throne with a shocked expression that had never been seen in his eyes before.
”Send a signal and summon the Domain Chiefs and elders of the 10 regions. Bring in the soldier who made the report as well!” Emperor Yun gave his order as soon as he stood up.
”Yes!” The soldier quickly took his order and exited the hall.
After a brief moment, a hasty and incessant drumming sound came from the Demonic Hall. It was so loud that the entire Blood Shadow City could hear it.
”It's an urgent military situation!”
”Quick, get to the Demonic Hall immediately!”
