Chapter 223: What's the reason?

The central area of Yun Cang City.

A massive mushroom cloud suddenly erupted from the ground, soaring into the sky.

The colossal sound, coupled with the vibrations, made the entire Yun Cang City seem to tremble and shake.

It was as if a large-scale earthquake had occurred.

But that wasn't all.

Beneath the mushroom cloud,

dust obscured the sky and sun.

However, all the perception-type ability users in the city detected that something was wrong.

Fang Xin naturally also sensed that something was amiss.

Within the dust, numerous fierce beasts faintly appeared.

"This is bad! The Eternal Night Army's moles in the city have brought in the beast tide from outside the city!"

Given the current situation, the beast tide outside the city alone was enough to overwhelm the defenders. Now, if so many fierce beasts appeared inside the city, collaborating from both inside and out, wouldn't that be disastrous?

The commotion in the city immediately drew the attention of the high-ranking officials.

Lu Dingjia, who was currently teaming up with Bai Mao Zai to deal with Kou Hongcheng, let out a strange laugh when he saw this, "Alright, Old Cripple Kou, it turns out you were just an appetizer; the main course is in the city!"

Master Kou smiled, "Brother Dingjia, why don't you switch sides now and lead the Eternal Night Army into Yun Cang City? I'll credit you with the highest merit! Once Yun Cang City is taken, the vast territories afterward will be within our grasp. At that time, I'll be king here, and you'll be the Great General! And you, Little Bai Mao, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Join me, and I can make you the Imperial Guard Governor!"

Bai Mao Zai bared his small white teeth and laughed, "No way, with my talent and ability, shouldn't I be given a 'One-Word Slanted Shoulder King' title?"

Master Kou laughed heartily, "Good! As long as you two are willing to defect, I can let you be kings!"

The three fought back and forth, each strike a deadly move, yet they chatted jovially, like old friends conversing.

Master Kou glanced at Yun Cang City.

Tens of thousands of fierce beasts had been led into the city by the moles.

At this very moment, a massacre had already begun.

Some quick-thinking individuals in the city immediately split off to deal with the fierce beasts within.

Master Kou smiled, "Gentlemen, it's only a matter of time before the Eternal Night Army makes a comeback. I hope you two can think ahead about which path to take in the future. You both know my character, so I'll say it again: if you two wish to come to my side, I warmly welcome you!"

At this moment, Xing Longshu, who was stationed in the city, had already deployed troops at the fastest possible speed.

One-third of the people resisting the beast tide on the city walls were dispatched to hunt down the fierce beasts that had broken in.

There were also high-level fierce beasts that had entered the city; Lu Bian, the Church Envoy, flashed back into the city to deal with them.

Fang Xin's squad was also among those hunting fierce beasts.

Looking at the frenzied beast tide, Fang Xin's gaze turned towards the place where the explosion had just occurred. If he wasn't mistaken, the moles who led the fierce beasts in were all from the Church.

It seemed that during the previous large-scale purge, the Church's internal cleanup of moles wasn't very thorough.

Normally, people from the Church would not stand with those from the Eternal Night Army, but as the old saying goes, 'All under heaven rush for gain, all under heaven depart for gain.' They didn't want to do this, but the Eternal Night Army offered too much.

Fang Xin led his squad, continuously hunting these fierce beasts, and simultaneously released several of his own fierce beasts to enhance their combat power through hunting. Fang Xin gave all the vital blood from the hunted fierce beasts to Xiao Se Pi, who greedily devoured the continuous stream of vital blood.

These fierce beasts had all been modified, so their combat power was significantly stronger than normal, resulting in considerable casualties in the city.

Yun Cang City was divided into many areas, and Fang Xin's squad was responsible for one small area.

The combat power of the few was decent; they resolved all the fierce beasts faster than other teams. Fang Xin then led his team to help their Ninth Division colleagues stationed in an adjacent area.

While on the move, Fang Xin suddenly looked in one direction and quickly flashed towards it.

Upon arriving, he found that inside the alley's trash can and on the ground, there was blood everywhere, and many bodies lay scattered. Among them, Fang Xin was very familiar with one body.

After seeing clearly, Shi Tailang was the first to shout, "Brother Tang!"

The few quickly rushed forward, eliminating all the fierce beasts tearing at the bodies.

After checking Tang Hu, he was completely dead.

Fang Xin looked at Tang Hu's chest and clearly saw that the wound on his chest was not caused by a fierce beast.

After a brief thought, Fang Xin placed his hand on Tang Hu's glabella, reading Tang Hu's memories before his death.

Ten minutes ago.

Tang Hu passed by here.

Hearing someone call for help, he quickly came over to assist and saw a young man from the Church who seemed injured, lying on the ground, struggling to repel the fierce beasts attacking him. Several other Church members lay beside him.

Seeing Tang Hu approach, the young man almost pleaded, "Big brother! Save me, big brother!"

Tang Hu, without a word, led his men forward to rescue them. Unexpectedly, just as he was dealing with the fierce beasts, a spearhead suddenly emerged from his chest. Turning around, he saw the young man from the Church smiling, "Sorry! Be smarter in your next life. Being too kind makes you die fast!"

The Church bodies on the ground were actually feigning death; they all rose and attacked Tang Hu's men.

Tang Hu's eyes were splitting with rage, "You Church people have sided with the Eternal Night Army, aren't you afraid of a terrible death?"

The spearhead in the young man's hand twirled, a smile on his face, "Sided? I haven't sided with the Eternal Night Army! I just made a deal with them. No choice, they offered too much."

Blood gushed from Tang Hu's mouth, "You bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"

The young man slowly pulled out the spear, his golden eyes watching Tang Hu, who was lying in a pool of blood, his body convulsing. A scornful smile curled his lips, "Die a horrible death? That's just a fantasy of people like you before they die. I'm a royal member of the Church. Even if this matter becomes known, no one can do anything to me. At most, I'll be locked up for a while."

Leisurely wiping the blood from the spear shaft, the young man stepped back, watching Tang Hu take his last breath with appreciation. He then gestured, and the fierce beasts surged forward, tearing and devouring Tang Hu's body.

After reading the memories, Fang Xin's eyes blazed with fury, and an immense killing intent welled up within him.

He collected the bodies of Tang Hu and his few teammates.

His perception net spread out, and Fang Xin quickly locked onto a direction.

"Follow me!"

When they were almost there,

that bastard from the Church was using the same trick again, exploiting others' kindness, trying to lure people over, and then rising up to kill them when they came to help.

A cold sneer formed in Fang Xin's heart.

I don't care what royal or noble family of the Church you are from. What the hell, should good people be pointed at with guns? What kind of damn logic is that!

You damn thing, I will pierce you through today!

"Help! Is anyone there! Save me!" The young man's voice came from the alley.

Seeing Fang Xin pass by, a smile flashed across the young man's lips, and he quickly shouted in a panic, "Help! Good brothers! I beg you! Save me!"

Fang Xin held his Panlong Spear.
