Free Web NovelChapter 2426: Chapter 2427: Ignited Starfire
Old Wei, who had arrived at The Imperial Timeline earlier than Feng Yuan and the others, had already reached the outskirts of a city. Gazing at the city resembling the style of the Main World, Old Wei sneered coldly.
"The slaughter begins."
Mumbling to the shadow beneath his feet, Old Wei step forward under the horrified gazes of passerby, and a terrifying shadow instantly spread from beneath him, black as ink, engulfing everything around.
The street lamps turned on, and the patrolling guards rushed in blowing their whistles, only to be swallowed by the shadow. The darkness, with Old Wei as its center, continued to spread outward, devouring the light of street lamps, the barrier’s glow vanishing in the shadows, life perishing in fear, the immense power alerting the Southern guardian.
On the city’s map, a drop of ink continually expanded, consuming the originally colorful area. In front of this monitoring map, the coffee left by the guardian was still steaming, yet, as time passed, most of the map turned black, the coffee grew cold, but did not await the one to savor it.
Mao Yue Forest, Feng Yuan left "gifts" while traveling with Agunas, aided by the records, Agunas soon found a road leading to the nearest city.
"Not sure how long before Lanadi from this world sends people to hunt us down."
Gladys chuckled lightly, speaking with a relaxed demeanor. Naturally, this wasn’t her arrogance, but from the records Agunas went through, she knew Mordan Empire and Eastern Alliance Empire were merely allies; even if they send people, it couldn’t be their entire force. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Being one of the Mordan Clan, Gladys knew them well, and because of this, she did not fear a small encirclement. As long as she didn’t show any weakness, she didn’t fear that group.
Moreover, according to the data found by Agunas, The Imperial Timeline doesn’t include the Mythical Era history, meaning Lorna wouldn’t appear in The Imperial Timeline.
This made Gladys more reassured; Lorna’s power, in Gladys’ view, wasn’t weak, and in some sense, could rival Divine Beasts. If The Imperial Timeline also had Lorna, they must prepare defenses against sudden attacks.
Feng Yuan glanced around and spoke without turning back
"Better not, those guys are too troublesome to deal with, and even if we manage them, it wouldn’t mean much, such soldiers abound in Mordan Empire."
For now, those sent to attack them could only be ordinary soldiers. Concerning entities like Gladys, Feng Yuan didn’t believe they would make pointless efforts.
Moreover, now that they’ve breached The Imperial Timeline, those people definitely understand that this time, there’s no chance to escape. Without absolute confidence, Feng Yuan didn’t believe they’d show up in front of him.
As for soldiers, although they can’t harm them, they would delay their progress.
Of course, this presumption was made unaware Old Wei had already wreaked havoc, even Feng Yuan hadn’t expected Old Wei could take it this far.
The city engulfed by darkness reappeared under the moonlight, yet, it stood silent, without a trace of life, those living here vanished as if the entire city’s inhabitants disappeared in an instant.
In an unnoticed corner, patches of black moss grew secretly, inconspicuous, yet readying a profound lesson for anyone approaching.
Outside the city, in a desolate farm, Old Wei sat on the couch, watching the impassioned ads on TV, sneering. In the spokesperson’s words, the Main World seemed like an unmined gold mine; they could always extract enormous benefits from it.
Swirling the wine glass in his hand, Old Wei spoke lowly
"Pitiful, do they really not know Divine Beasts exist? Ha~"
"No need for overnight actions, I don’t intend to help them, without a bit of education, what we wish to protect would also be threatened."
"Furthermore, just relying on us wouldn’t inflict much damage on them. Today, they’re just unprepared; tomorrow’s result might not be the same."
Looking at the news on TV, Old Wei spoke calmly. The news completely ignored what he did today, yet Old Wei knew fully, they couldn’t have missed noticing his actions.
After all, an entire city lost contact; even the ancients would sense something amiss, not to mention the modern The Imperial Timeline similar to the Main World.
As for why Old Wei flaunted so openly to reside here, simply based on confidence in his abilities. Without burdensome companions, no matter how strong those coming are, he backs himself out.
If thereby encountering a few strong ones, this operation would be profitable for him.
Feng Yuan and the others didn’t seize inhabited places like Old Wei did. Gazing at the raging fire, Gladys calmly expressed
"Should we stakeout here?"
"No need, Old Wei must’ve done similar acts before; their rapid response indicates they’ve already faced attacks. We shouldn’t overly provoke them; else they might retaliate desperately, not beneficial for us."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan stared at the dark roads, stating that while they could clear through, doing so would fully enrage this empire.
Even if they weren’t afraid, should the opponent recklessly drag the Main World into it, it wouldn’t be favorable for them, and Feng Yuan hadn’t forgotten what they intended to do here.
"Agunas, can you find out what Old Wei did?"
Turning to Agunas, Feng Yuan queried. As the Divine Beast managing record books, Agunas not only accesses historical texts, but also retrieves modern data.
It’s just in usual circumstances, Agunas doesn’t do this, no other reason, it’s taboo and triggers panic.
"Completely destroy a city, or say, devour an entire city’s Life Force."
Agunas pulled out a book, flipping a while before answering, gazing at the ablaze village, Feng Yuan stroked his chin, stating frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Indeed it’s like that."
"Seems we’re not as ruthless as him."
Gladys chuckled softly saying, glancing at her, Feng Yuan shook his head without saying more. Although some escaped, not as cleanly handled as on Old Wei’s side.
Nonetheless, those who fled might bring more pursuers upon them.
Feng Yuan had no intention of continually bothering ordinary people; he just wanted to hurt The Imperial Timeline’s populace enough they dared not act against them anymore. The optimal method wasn’t targeting commoners, but eliminating all coming pursuers.
Old Wei’s not doing so, Feng Yuan suspected was related to his objectives. Feng Yuan assumed besides causing chaos in the empire, he probably intended to collect Life Force opportunistically.
Agunas clearly discerned Old Wei’s plan too, but didn’t mention it. The Imperial Timeline dared ignite war; letting Old Wei rampage, why not?
As for whether other Divine Beasts would object? Agunas opted not to inform them; regarding post-factum understanding?
So what? Old Wei didn’t fear them, besides, as long as they could obstruct or impede the empire’s invasive steps, Agunas believed numerous Divine Beasts would acquiesce Old Wei’s actions.
Looking at Feng Yuan, Agunas swung its tail saying
"Are you sure Maomu City won’t be a problem?"
It’s not Agunas concerned about Maomu City, but worry over any trouble brewing there, Feng Yuan acting recklessly; unlike Old Wei, when Feng Yuan goes berserk, nobody really could prevent it.
"White Wolf Deity is there; there shouldn’t be any issues unless a full-scale war breaks out, but it seems unlikely."
Turning the black-handled sickle in hand casually, Feng Yuan spoke softly. At that moment, a formidable aura in the distance emerged, steadily approaching, sensing this aura, Feng Yuan laughed coldly, saying
"Here it comes, bedtime mini-game is about to start!"
In Maomu City, the White Wolf Deity roared; the time barrier enveloped the city, all spatial transfer methods utterly lost efficacy within Maomu City. Qi Chen glanced at the tense Qi Xiaoshuang beside him, saying
"I’m here."
"Hmph, at a time like this, don’t think about ditching me; we’re both protecting this home, I surely won’t be worse than you!"
Qi Xiaoshuang spoke, looking around. Despite saying this, her practical experience paled compared to Qi Chen, those Magic Mechanized Soldiers were autonomously arranged by the White Shadow Wolf.
"Hey, bro, say, did Feng Yuan and the others do something for them to suddenly start an attack?"
"I trust they did nothing wrong!"
"I didn’t say they erred, just, this bunch suddenly launched an attack, what on earth did they do?"
