章 159: Chapter 295: Embracing Hell
Wang Zhendong, who had been flung backwards, quickly freed himself from the grasp of the hellish Mohe's power and returned to the small town. Sensing the opposing rules, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and warmth.
In just a fleeting moment, he had struggled at the brink of life and death, nearly unleashing his ultimate move. Now, he felt a surge of relief and his heart pounded with residual fear.
Just as he saw the boy's silhouette swallowed by the dark and ominous light, he snapped back to his senses. His expression changed, and he took a step forward.
However, reason stopped him in his tracks. In his current state, he would only get in the way and cause more trouble.
As the pillar of the Wang family, he had explored the Mohe for over a hundred years and had always been their backbone. Yet today, he had been pulled back and shielded by a sixteen-year-old stranger who had faced all the dangers in his stead.
Wang Zhendong stared blankly at the dark light, his heart filled with an indescribable and incredibly complex mix of emotions.
Wang Yongzhi and the others also realized what was happening and quickly rushed to Wang Zhendong's side.
"Are you alright, Uncle Zhendong?"
"I'm fine, but he..."
"The Heavenly God General should be alright. I heard he easily defeated the Dragon Absolute God and Feng Lingxiao of the Great Peace Realm." Wang Yongzhi quickly reassured them, but his face still showed his fear and concern.
Even the formidable Uncle Zhendong had nearly met his end. They could only wonder if the young man, known as a God General, could withstand this challenge.
The group gazed at the dark light that enveloped the town, blocking even their divine senses and souls from seeing within. They stood anxiously, unable to detect any movement from inside.
They, who were feared by others with just a stomp of their foot, now felt as helpless as the small town's villagers, forced to wait and do nothing.
If the young man failed to retrieve the token, they would likely all perish here.
Wang Zhendong clenched his fists slightly, his eyes fixed on the town.
Wang Yongzhi held his breath, wishing he could pierce through the darkness with his gaze.
Outside the town, amidst the dark and ominous light, Li Hao unleashed his domain, fending off the corrosive rules of the Mohe while following the golden paper's guidance forward.
With the tenfold domain superimposed, he isolated himself from the rules, but they still slowly seeped in, making it unsustainable in the long run.
Soon, Li Hao arrived at a place where a tattered flag fluttered. Looking up, he saw the characters "Qingzhen" on the flag.
Li Hao was taken aback. Behind the flag was another small town, and it resembled the one he had just left. Having previously covered the town with his divine sense, he recognized its overall layout, and thus, he realized that this hellish Mohe had somehow replicated the small town!
The eerie sight caused Li Hao to pause momentarily. They had scarce information about the hellish Mohe, and even the Wang family knew very little, having gathered what they knew at a great cost.
Li Hao's expression turned solemn as he noticed a string of wooden plaques hanging below the tattered flag, suspended by a red cord and swaying in the wind.
These wooden plaques resembled the token Wang Yongzhi had given him, but their color seemed a shade deeper, possibly due to the surrounding dark light creating a color difference.
The higher the level of the Mohe, the larger its scope... Li Hao recalled some basic knowledge about the Mohe, although there were exceptions, but they were extremely rare.
This hellish Mohe before him clearly wasn't limited to just the small town's scope; it might have only partially transformed and fused, taking on the town's appearance.
No wonder the token had been replaced. The two Mohe rivers had secretly merged, and the hellish Mohe's influence had already affected the small town, rendering its token ineffective. This replica town had produced an identical token, superseding the original.
Fortunately, due to the initial stages of fusion, the token wasn't placed in the town's ancestral hall but hung outside.
Without hesitation, Li Hao rushed towards the Qingzhen wooden plaque token.
This hellish Mohe was too bizarre. Although the Wang family speculated that passing through would grant one million merits, he dared not assume that he could pass through repeatedly.
Just as he plucked the token, the surrounding dark and ominous light suddenly churned. From the thick fog, dark figures roared and charged at Li Hao with incredible speed, like fierce ghosts or evil spirits.
Li Hao unleashed his domain, causing these creatures to explode within it, their bodies turning into pools of black liquid. However, as his domain contracted, the creatures slowly reassembled.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed as he sensed a trace of Grand Dao True Power within these creatures, an indelible force.
They had already merged with the power of the hellish Mohe.
Roars echoed as more and more creatures surged out of the fog, their fury seemingly ignited by Li Hao's retrieval of the token. They charged at him relentlessly, their faces contorted with rage.
Li Hao didn't linger or engage these creatures in a protracted battle. Using his domain to suppress them, he continued to crush them underfoot as he made his way out.
The creatures, having been squeezed out of the domain, quickly reformed from the scattered liquid, pursuing Li Hao once again.
Soon, he found himself surrounded on all sides by these ghost-like monsters.
They fearlessly rushed into his domain, attacking with ferocity akin to a Burst Vein expert going all out. Moreover, they showed no fear of death.
As they forced their way into the domain, they also extended the rules of the Mohe into it, giving Li Hao the sense of his domain being rapidly invaded.
Li Hao's expression changed slightly as he realized that these creatures might be the physical manifestation of the hellish Mohe's power.
"Get lost!"
Li Hao punched out swiftly, forcing the creatures within his domain back. The Grand Dao True Power within them couldn't be destroyed, so he could only drive them away.
As Li Hao found himself engulfed by the tide of monsters, Wang Zhendong and the others waited anxiously outside, their eyes fixed on the town.
"The Hell-level Mohe River... Our ancestor once asked that True Immortal for help, but I heard he was injured in the Mohe River and never entered it again."
Wang Zhendong's eyes turned solemn as he recalled how his domain had been eroded within two breaths. Yet, Li Hao had been inside for dozens of breaths now.
"Could he have already..."
Someone paled, their nature tending towards pessimism.
Wang Yongzhi's heart clenched with anxiety. As the head of the Wang family, if he led everyone to their deaths here, he would never be able to find peace, even in death.
Furthermore, if the young Heavenly God General perished along with them, the consequences would be too grave to bear. That sixteen-year-old boy had the potential to reach the level of a Saint in the future. The responsibility for such a loss would be too heavy to carry!
Just as their worries were mounting, the dark and ominous light outside the small town suddenly churned like a violent tide.
Then, as if something was propping it up, a dazzling silver light pierced through, followed by a brilliant radiance that illuminated everything within a ten-thousand-mile radius!
Boom!!
A piercingly cold sword qi tore through the darkness, cleaving the power of hell and creating a rift in the Hell-level Mohe River!
The surging energy caused their hair to flutter as if caught in a strong wind.
Taking advantage of the sword light, they glimpsed Li Hao clutching a bunch of wooden plaques connected by a red rope as he rushed towards them from the rift.
However, on the ground around him, viscous, dark liquid gathered and transformed into hideous figures with contorted bodies, charging at Li Hao in a frenzied assault.
These figures exuded an eerie, evil, and ancient aura, resembling extremely ancient evil spirits.
But when they came into contact with Li Hao's domain, they were all isolated and kept at bay.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Suddenly, one of them cried out in agony, clutching their eyes.
Blood spurted from their eye sockets, and then, tendrils of black liquid oozed out from the corners of their eyes, rapidly congealing into the same kind of twisted figures they had just seen.
Wang Zhendong reacted swiftly, immediately understanding the situation. "Quick, close your eyes!"
He unleashed his domain, enveloping everyone and sending his rules to attack the black figures. However, he felt a tenacious resistance, and his domain rules seemed unable to destroy these creatures; he could only barely restrict their movements!
Wang Zhendong was shocked. What kind of monsters were these?
At the same time, he felt an itching and swelling sensation in his eyes, as if something was trying to force its way out of his eye sockets.
After the first person's cry, more followed suit as black liquid oozed from their eye sockets and twisted into those grotesque figures. Wang Zhendong quickly suppressed them within his domain.
With his hundreds of experiences in the Mohe River, Wang Zhendong quickly realized what was happening and shouted, "Don't look at those things! They have a 'reflection' rule!
"They can directly crawl out from our eyes!"
Everyone quickly covered their eyes, but it was too late for some. Four or five of those creatures had already emerged, and Wang Zhendong's domain was struggling to contain them. Just then, a sword qi slashed through without any hindrance, cutting through his domain and severing the four or five creatures that had emerged.
The severed monsters didn't disappear but twisted and gathered, trying to reform relentlessly.
Li Hao had struck, his body appearing with a flash, like a sudden shift in space.
This ability wasn't due to the traction of his Dao rhyme but a more critical capability he had used when he killed the Buddha Lord—the ultimate state of the Fifteen-Mile Realm, the 'Land of Extinction'!
Within a five-kilometer radius, he could shift with the Land of Extinction!
There was no prelude or traction; it was a true shift in an instant, moving as his heart desired.
The range of his shift would also increase as his soul grew stronger. Don't underestimate this five-kilometer range. Without the traction of his Dao rhyme, it was impossible to predict his movements, making it a deadly frontal assault with no way to guard against it!
At this moment, the rules of the Mohe River were severely interfering with their abilities. While Li Hao could isolate himself from the rules within his domain, he couldn't sense his Dao rhyme outside of it. This meant that a Four-Establishment Realm expert would face significant dangers here, as they would lose the ability to predict their movements without the traction of their Dao rhyme.
However, the Land of Extinction was not restricted by these conditions.
Following the path cut by his two sword fingers, Li Hao shifted in an instant to appear before the group. He quickly unleashed his power to envelop them, imprisoning the few Mohe River creatures that had manifested and then flinging them back into the hellish Mohe River.
"Let's go!"
Li Hao tossed the wooden plaque tokens, distributing them according to the number of people.
However, when he finished, he noticed that there was one extra person among the Wang family members.
"Are you asking to die?!"
Li Hao's eyes blazed with divine flames as his soul fused, and his true eye shone brightly, immediately revealing the intruder—a figure shrouded in black qi, a vengeful spirit from the underworld who had impersonated one of them.
With a thought, Li Hao crushed the impostor.
The vengeful spirit vanished with a despairing cry, and the rest of the group finally snapped out of their daze.
Some had eyes that were already bloody and mutilated, but most of them were in the Triple Immortal Realm, and they quickly swallowed pills to accelerate their recovery, relying on their own regenerative abilities.
Some were at the peak of the Triple Immortal Realm or in the Undecaying Realm, and they directly tapped into their Undecaying power to heal their injuries instantly.
At the same time, Wang Zhendong's eyes were also undergoing a transformation. When he had first seen the hellish monsters, they had occupied his vision, turning his eyeballs completely black.
Now, black liquid was seeping out from his eye sockets, bit by bit, despite his domain desperately trying to suppress it.
Li Hao noticed that some of the others were also struggling to resist, their eyes covered. Without hesitation, he unleashed his domain to envelop them, not bothering to communicate with Wang Zhendong. He directly suppressed Wang Zhendong's domain, forcing it back into his body, and then peeled away the black liquid that was seeping from his eye sockets, containing it within his own domain.
The Mohe River power that had manifested in Wang Zhendong's eyes vanished, and Li Hao did the same for the others, stripping away the reflected Mohe River creatures that had emerged from their eyes and imprisoning them within his domain before flinging them into the Mohe River outside the town.
"Divine General of Hao Tian..."
Wang Yongzhi's face was filled with gratitude, but his eyes fell on the dark and ominous light outside the small town behind Li Hao. The darkness, which had been slowly spreading before, now surged like a violent tide, crossing the town's border and rapidly rolling towards them.
Li Hao also noticed that the monsters that had just reflected in their eyes seemed to have drawn the rules of the Hell-level Mohe River, causing its corrosive speed to increase drastically.
"Quick, leave now!"
Li Hao shouted urgently.
The group hastily activated the Mohe River's golden paper, and the light from the paper led them to the wooden plaque that Li Hao had thrown to them.
Soon, the wooden plaque emitted a radiant light that merged with the golden light from the Mohe River's registry, triggering the river's rules. Brilliant golden light gradually emerged from the wooden plaque, forming an exit, but the process was painfully slow.
Wang Zhendong's expression changed once more as he witnessed this, and he felt a chill in his heart. "The exit rule is being affected!"
The other members of the Wang family also paled, their eyes fixed on the slowly forming golden light exit.
At this moment, the connection between the token and the exit had been established, and they had no idea if the exit would shift and cause an interruption. They had never encountered such a situation before and had no experience to draw from.
At the same time, the dark and misty fog behind Li Hao rushed forward like a breached river, and Li Hao noticed that the golden light on the wooden plaque was flickering, its formation slowing down. His face turned grim.
He realized that the Hell-level Mohe River was rapidly replicating this small town. If it replicated the entire town, it would be completely fused.
By then, all the rules within the town would become invalid, replaced by the Hell-level Mohe River.
Li Hao gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around, facing the surging black mist.
"Divine General of Hao Tian!"
Wang Yongzhi, seeing Li Hao's actions, was taken aback for a moment before crying out.
The others also saw this and their faces changed.
Wang Zhendong instantly understood Li Hao's intention and knew what the young man was planning to do. A surge of warmth filled his chest and rose to his head, and his eyes widened as he exclaimed:
"General Hao Tian, you..."
"Go, I'll hold them off!"
Li Hao's voice carried an undeniable air of command. He charged towards the surging darkness, and his domains began to emerge one after another.
The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth...
Layer after layer of domains burst forth with dazzling light, not only covering Li Hao himself but also extending and transforming into a wall!
As the scope of the domains expanded, their power was naturally dispersed and weakened.
A rumbling sound seemed to echo as the surging black mist collided with Li Hao's domains but was firmly blocked.
The Wang family members were stunned by this spectacular sight, their faces reflecting a mix of emotions.
Many clenched their fists, their hearts filled with indignation. They wanted to help, but in the face of this Hell-level Mohe River, they were powerless, and even a glance in its direction could be deadly.
"I'll help you!"
Wang Zhendong rushed towards Li Hao without hesitation.
Li Hao glared at him and said, "Don't come over, you can't hold them off!"
Seeing the young man's anger and that divine and piercing gaze, Wang Zhendong's steps faltered and stopped.
Then, he saw that the wall formed by the fifteen layers of domains was being penetrated by the Hell-level Mohe River's dark and ominous light! His pupils contracted, and his heart trembled.
Li Hao's strength far exceeded his expectations, but what was even more terrifying was that even with fifteen layers of domains, they might not be able to hold out for long?!
Li Hao also noticed this and was alarmed. He could sense a ferocious consciousness within the Hell-level Mohe River, roaring and charging at him while manipulating various rule powers.
It encompassed seven or eight different rules, each layering upon the other like sharp knives piercing his domains.
Although Li Hao had fifteen layers of domains, these rules contained Grand Dao True Power, making them more refined and sharp.
Li Hao's expression turned grim. At this rate, he might not be able to hold out for even ten breaths.
Ascension to Immortality!
Fifty percent!
Without hesitation, Li Hao unleashed his ultimate move.
Boom!
A vast wave of energy burst forth from his feet, and a breath of immortal energy emerged, attracting the power of the heavens and the earth! His eyes shone brilliantly, entering a divine power state, and his entire body radiated a divine aura.
At the same time, the veins of the heavens and the earth extended, drawing the power of the heavens and the earth that had quietly gathered earlier and sending it into his body. This power was then transformed into a vast force that surged into his fifteen layers of domains.
The domains that had been penetrated earlier now trembled with rule power, becoming as refined as divine iron, expelling the invading Mohe River power, and transforming into an impenetrable wall!
"Go now!"
Li Hao's golden hair flew wildly as he shouted at the Wang family members.
His domains expanded, blocking the Mohe River, causing the exit rule in front of them to stabilize, and the golden light on the wooden plaque token began to form faster.
Wang Zhendong was stunned, his eyes fixed on the young man who exuded the aura of a deity. He, too, had reached the Great Peace Realm, and he could deeply sense the young man's formidable power. If they were to clash, he feared he would be instantly killed!
At this moment, an exit began to form on the wooden plaque, leading out of the Mohe River.
"The exit is open!"
Someone cried out in delight.
The exits for the others also gradually opened.
As they finally saw the passage out, Wang Yongzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but their eyes immediately turned to Li Hao.
"Divine General of Hao Tian..."
"Go!"
Li Hao shouted urgently.
The joy in Wang Yongzhi and the others' eyes turned complex as they looked at the young man holding back the erosion of the hell-level Mohe River's power with his own strength. Their hearts were filled with sadness.
However, the two young juniors among the group were filled with delight, and they quickly crawled towards the exit, taking the opportunity to teleport out first.
Wang Zhendong realized at this moment that the hell-level Mohe River's power was solely being blocked by Li Hao. If Li Hao were to leave, it would instantly engulf them all. The longer they stayed, the more difficult it would be for Li Hao.
"Hurry, don't delay!"
Wang Zhendong urged anxiously.
Seeing his reaction, Wang Yongzhi and the others also knew that this was not the time to be swayed by their emotions. Gritting their teeth, they quickly stepped into the exit and teleported out.
"Divine General of Hao Tian, you must come back alive!"
Wang Yongzhi shouted as he quickly stepped into the teleport as well.
Wang Zhendong did not hesitate either. At this moment, he, like the other members of the Wang family, could not offer any help to Li Hao.
Standing at the exit, he stared deeply at the young man, his fists clenched.
Having gone through the Mohe River countless times, he felt powerless for the first time. He never imagined that there would come a day when he would become a burden to others.
Soon, his vision shifted, and his body seemed to travel through a river of void. When he reappeared, he found himself in an empty hall within a mountain outside the Ksitigarbha Buddha statue.
"Hmm? So it's resolved so quickly?"
The sculpted Ksitigarbha Buddha seemed to be smiling, and beside the Buddha, Wang Zhenfeng and Wang Zhenping, the two elders from the older generation, were waiting. They had not accompanied the group into the Mohe River.
While the younger generation enjoyed being in the spotlight, the older folks were more level-headed.
When they saw the golden light leaking from the top of the Ksitigarbha Buddha's head and people teleporting out, those who had stayed outside were surprised and taken aback.
Although the "Insect Two" could pass through the Hades-level Mohe River, each Mohe River had different rules. Even if one could pass through, wouldn't it take longer than this?
Could there be some kind of ultimate move to pass through any situation?
Soon, they saw Wang Zhendong stepping out as well, but the golden light on the Ksitigarbha Buddha's head had disappeared.
"Hmm? Where's the Divine General of Hao Tian?"
Wang Zhenfeng was taken aback and couldn't help but ask. At the same time, his heart lurched, and he immediately had a bad feeling.
Wang Zhendong's face was solemn as he fixed his gaze on the Ksitigarbha Buddha after coming out.
Wang Yongzhi and the others also shared the same tense and apprehensive expressions.
However, as time slowly passed, the golden light on the Ksitigarbha Buddha's head remained unchanged, and no new passage was opened even after what felt like an incense stick's worth of time.
Wang Zhendong's heart trembled, and his face became increasingly grim. He suddenly remembered the words the young man had said earlier.
In that kind of situation, he wouldn't be trying to pass through, would he?
"What's going on? Why isn't he coming out? Has something happened to the Divine General of Hao Tian?!"
When Li Hao did not return after a long time, the Wang family members outside immediately turned pale, realizing that something terrible had happened.
Especially the expressions on Wang Zhendong and the others' faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Children, tell your grandfather what's going on?"
Wang Zhenping, however, looked at his great-grandchildren.
These two young juniors were Li Jiangying and Li Rumeng. After Li Hao recreated his physical body, they did not recognize him.
But when they heard others calling Li Hao by his title, they immediately knew that the young man was the peer they admired and pursued in their hearts.
In the Li Family's God General Mansion, their talents were not enough to compete with Li Hao, so they could not participate in the true dragon competition. However, they were not convinced and felt that their mother's words were correct—there was still a long way to go in life.
There were countless examples of geniuses who had met their demise halfway, which gave them great comfort.
Only those who laughed at the end were truly talented.
"He hasn't come out yet, so he must be dead." Li Rumeng pouted and said.
Wang Zhenping was taken aback. Dead?
The crisp voices of the young girls also startled Wang Zhendong and the others, who were still hoping for Li Hao's return. Their hearts trembled at the sound.
Li Hao's prolonged absence indicated that he was either entangled by the hell-level Mohe River and unable to connect to the exit, or he was attempting to pass through. Either way, it was a perilous situation with slim chances of survival!
Wang Zhendong clenched his fists as he thought of the young man with the bearing of a sage, whose future was so bright that it made others look up to him in awe. Now, he was holding the fort for them, giving them a way out while putting himself in extreme danger.
It seemed that they didn't have much of a relationship beforehand.
Wang Yongzhi and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complex and painful emotions.
It was as if there was a ball of anger pent up in their chests, unable to be released.
Earlier, they had been happily joining in the excitement, but now they had become a burden, endangering the young God General. How could they face His Majesty, who valued Li Hao so highly?
They felt guilty and ashamed, wishing they could punch themselves. Despite their age, they had let their success go to their heads.
"How did he die?"
Wang Zhenping snapped out of his daze and asked his great-grandchildren.
Although he did not like Li Hao, he did not wish for his death. After all, Li Hao was a formidable warrior of humankind.
"He insisted on showing off. We could have left together, but he just had to be flashy," Li Jiangying said jealously in a low voice.
In the God General Mansion, Li Hao had become the center of attention after revealing his cultivation. He overshadowed everyone else, even Li Qianfeng, who had apprenticed under the Buddha Lord. After Li Qianfeng was defeated, he faded into the background.
Although the young man spoke softly, the mountain was too quiet, and the Wang family members' strengths were not weak, so his words reached their ears clearly.
Wang Zhendong suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp like a fierce hawk as he glared at Li Jiangying, "What did you say? Say that again?"
Li Jiangying was taken aback, not expecting such a reaction from the second elder of the Wang family.
Before he could speak again, Wang Zhendong took a step forward and slapped Li Jiangying across the face. The sound of the strike echoed through the hall.
The force of the blow from the old man's withered hand was fierce, causing Li Jiangying's teeth to shatter. He fell to the ground, sitting in a daze.
"Brother!"
Li Rumeng cried out and quickly rushed to support him.
Wang Zhenping was also stunned and immediately stepped forward to block them, anger flashing across his face as he said, "Second Brother, what are you doing?"
"Fourth Brother, didn't you hear what that child just said?"
Wang Zhendong roared, his eyes filled with rage. He was like an enraged lion, glaring at his fourth brother.
Wang Zhenping hesitated, "He may have gone too far, but he's still just a child, and he was only speaking his mind..."
"Fourth!"
Wang Zhendong's anger intensified at his brother's words, "Have you gone senile, or have you always been this foolish?"
Wang Zhenping's face darkened as he hadn't expected his second brother to be so furious.
"Just speaking his mind? That's a God General, comparable to our ancestor! How dare he mock such a figure?"
"If not for the Hao Tian God General, we would all be doomed. Even they would have perished. They just escaped certain death, and this is how they repay their savior?"
Wang Zhendong's face turned red with anger, and his sharp gaze pierced through Li Jiangying.
Wang Zhenping's expression turned ugly, but he had no rebuttal. Moreover, he had always felt a subtle fear towards his second brother.
"Too undisciplined and ill-mannered!"
Wang Zhendong glared at Li Rumeng, who was crying on the ground, his eyes cold and his tone disdainful. "Earlier, you asked me to take care of them and let them experience the Mohe River. I agreed, and we used the Wang family's resources to help them, but look how they've turned out?"
"Since your daughter is married into the Li family, she is now one of them. From now on, keep their children away from the Wang family!"
His words were like a decree, leaving Wang Zhenping's face pale. He hadn't expected his second brother to be so ruthless.
Hearing this, Li Rumeng, who was on the ground, turned pale with fear. She stopped crying and looked at her grandfather with tearful eyes.
Li Jiangying, his face still stinging from the slap, looked up at the Wang family elders, who had always been kind to him, only to see cold gazes staring back. His heart sank as he felt a sense of dread.
"Take them out!"
Wang Zhendong waved his hand, signaling for them to be removed.
Wang Yongzhi nodded slightly and gestured for someone to come forward.
Soon, someone grabbed the siblings and pulled them out of the mountain hall.
"Grandfather..."
The siblings' voices gradually faded as they were led away.
Wang Zhenping's expression was dark, and he remained silent.
Wang Zhendong gave him a cold glance, his displeasure clear. He had never held a high opinion of this fourth brother of his, and he didn't bother to hide his disdain now. Turning to Wang Yongzhi, he said, "Dispatch two squads of Death Warriors to investigate the situation inside."
"Yes."
Wang Yongzhi nodded and immediately gave the order.
"Zhendong, what exactly happened in there?"
Wang Zhenfeng, the fifth brother, spoke up, his curiosity piqued by the unusual anger displayed by his second brother.
Wang Zhendong glanced at him and his expression softened slightly as he explained, "There was a change in the Mohe River. A Hell-level Mohe River was drawn over, attempting to merge with this Underworld-level Mohe River, and it had already secretly fused with the token. If not for the Hao Tian God General, we probably wouldn't have made it out."
He briefly summarized what had transpired.
When the others heard the words "Hell-level Mohe River," their faces paled, and someone exclaimed in shock.
To the Wang family, this was like a taboo, a name that carried more weight than even the Emperor's.
Wang Zhenping also fell silent, realizing why his second brother was so furious. He now understood that the children had indeed crossed a line.
They had just been rescued, yet they dared to speak sarcastically—this was ungratefulness to the extreme.
He remained silent, his thoughts churning.
Wang Zhendong paid him no heed and waited for the Death Warriors to be dispatched. When they arrived, he instructed Wang Yongzhi to make the necessary arrangements.
However, along with the Death Warriors, a scout had also brought a military report.
Wang Yongzhi frowned as he read the report, wondering what urgent matter could have prompted such a hasty delivery. Could it be that the Hell-level Mohe River had been exposed, resulting in heavy casualties?
As he opened the report, his frown deepened, and his expression shifted to one of shock.
"What is it?"
"It's military intelligence..."
Wang Yongzhi looked up, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief. "Demons are attacking the city! All the top demonic forces from outside the borders have gathered outside the Imperial Capital and are laying siege to the Imperial City!"
"What?"
Wang Zhendong and the others were stunned by his words.
Demons attacking the city, and the target was the Imperial Capital?!
The Wang family had been in charge of the Mohe River for many years, and while their control over military intelligence had weakened, they were aware that demons usually avoided the Imperial Capital.
After all, the strongest of the Great Yu Dynasty was stationed there! The presence of that figure in the Qian Dao Palace was a deterrence that extended across the nine provinces. Even when border conflicts with demons occurred, they feared the immortal would unsheathe his sword and come after them. How dare they attack the Imperial Capital?
Those who lived within the Imperial Capital had likely never seen a demon in their lives.
"This is a request for reinforcements from the Imperial City."
Wang Yongzhi looked at Wang Zhendong, his expression grave.
