Free Web NovelNot long after Lu Yibei received the message from Inspector Xing Yuan, Jiang Li quickly received a similar message from an anonymous agent surnamed Li.
The "legacies" of Ju Meng and Cuan Yang were too tempting. Bounties circulating on the hidden channels of various illegal Spiritual Energy organizations, any one of which would be enough for a B Level Psychic or urban legend to complete an advancement, or to stay away from disputes and live a life of extravagance and debauchery for the rest of their lives.
Under the enormous bounty, various Psychic and urban legend, like wolves sniffing blood, flocked to the scene.
According to the intelligence gathered by Li Xuan, as the city barrier entered a cooling phase, among the Psychic and urban legend who sneaked into Tang City in the chaos, there were at least a dozen key criminals wanted by the Night Watch, and more than five illegal Spiritual Energy organizations involved, totaling over two thousand.
Although there were many who were just making up the numbers, the effective combat strength whose Spiritual Energy fluctuation level reached B- or above also exceeded three hundred.
The Night Watch agents who rushed to support upon receiving the Scarlet Owl signal, even though the average level of Spiritual Energy fluctuation still had a strong suppressive force, were unable to cope with the large number of enemies and were stretched thin.
Just as mentioned in the message Inspector Xing Yuan sent to Lu Yibei, the western side, which was relatively weakly defended, had already fallen. It wouldn't be long before those Psychic and urban legend would engage in close combat with the subordinates of Taoyuan.
After reading the message, Jiang Li put away her phone and looked at Lu Yibei, saying with a serious expression, "Something unexpected has happened. I'm afraid I have to go first."
"..." Lu Yibei was silent for a moment, then nodded, looking into Jiang Li's eyes, and said seriously, "Be careful. If the situation is not right, run away immediately, understand?"
Now was not the time to play the "Wang Bu Liu Xing wants Miao Miao Jiang to confess voluntarily" game with Jiang Li.
Lu Yibei knew that as a main agent of the Night Watch, Jiang Li had rushed to Tang City for support after receiving the Scarlet Owl signal. Leaving the main force and acting with her until now had almost reached the limit. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The main task of the Night Watch agents who came to Tang City for support in response to the Scarlet Owl signal was to intercept the Psychic and urban legend who poured into Tang City in the chaos and prevent them from causing harm.
Helping to clear out the illegal Spiritual Energy forces lurking in Taoyuan could at most be considered a side quest.
Now that the side quest was completed, and those who had been eyeing the area outside the city barrier for a long time had also arrived, if Jiang Li did not return to the main force of the Night Watch, she would be suspected of dereliction of duty.
"What about you?" Before leaving, Jiang Li asked Lu Yibei softly, "What are you planning to do after I leave?"
"Don't you know me?" Lu Yibei shrugged and said, "In this situation, of course I'll find a place to hide and come out to reap the benefits after the battle is over?"
Only a ghost would believe you... Jiang Li rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said lightly, "Want to have a late-night snack together after everything is done? I want to eat boiled instant noodles."
It was precisely because she knew Lu Yibei so well that Jiang Li felt that Lu Yibei, who ran away quickly when facing Little Freak and punched the Extinction-Bringer of Old Days hard, was very likely to court death again in this situation.
Not dying was already her lowest requirement for Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei looked at Jiang Li dotingly, pouted and said, "It will be dawn after everything is done, eating breakfast is more like it."
Courting death without dying, and skillfully shifting blame, she was already very skilled at this.
So, ten minutes later.
"Gu Qianqian" was driving a large truck full of Paper Cicada Immortals, swaying unsteadily on the main road of Taoyuanli Scenic Area.
All the way, to the west.
—————
Outside Taoyuan, on a high mountain.
After experiencing the explosion impact caused by the city barrier and the sudden attack of the Crane flock, the top of this towering mountain looked as if it had been forcibly leveled, with scorched earth as far as the eye could see.
Countless Crane corpses fell to the ground, turning into dark red flesh and blood, which quickly rotted into a muddy substance emitting a strong foul odor. Being in it felt like being locked in a sewage drain full of putrid domestic water. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The citizens of Taoyuan who were hiding in the dark, waiting for battle, almost vomited up their dinner from the day before yesterday.
"Boom——!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the ground shook. A Emerald Green light soared from the depths of Taoyuan, and a stream of light with strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations flew across the sky, with the air current sweeping through the mountains and forests.
The subordinates of Taoyuan scattered around the periphery of Taoyuan all raised their heads in unison, looking uneasily towards the depths of Taoyuan.
From the Emerald Green firelight that spanned the sky and the earth, they felt the Spiritual Energy fluctuation of Ju Meng, and then as the Emerald Green firelight dissipated, Ju Meng's aura also dissipated.
The originally noisy area outside Taoyuan instantly fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that a dropped needle could be heard. Even the faint sound of the wind and the crackling of burning trees felt noisy.
"Did Lord Ju Meng... fail?"
In the deathly silence, someone asked weakly, their voice very small and faint, but it sounded particularly harsh in the ears of the Psychic and urban legend.
"Idiot! How could Lord Ju Meng fail?" A rough voice scolded.
"But, forcibly converting the core of a urban legend body from one Power to another in a short period of time, no urban legend has ever attempted it before. Although theoretically feasible, the uncertain factors within..."
"Shut your stinking mouth! My dependent's mark is still... Huh? Holy crap! Where's my dependent's mark?"
All the Psychic and urban legend, "..."
After a brief period of noise, the mountain forest outside Taoyuan became even quieter, as quiet as if a solemn funeral was being held, making the night even colder, emptier, and more desolate.
In such a deathly silence, members of illegal Spiritual Energy organizations and desperadoes who had gathered for the huge bounty approached.
Only the sound of the tide gradually rising from afar.
At the foot of the mountain, in the devastated mountain forest, footsteps gradually began to sound.
Countless scattered footsteps and noisy whispers overlapped, forming a low echo in the quiet valley, surging from all directions.
Outside Taoyuan, the dilapidated and desolate dense forest suddenly became turbulent under the night sky, with strange figures moving and dangers lurking everywhere.
"Damn it, kill them. If it weren't for this rabble causing trouble, Lord Ju Meng wouldn't have been in trouble!"
"That's right, kill them and avenge Lord Ju Meng!"
Although Ju Meng's aura completely disappeared, and even her dependent's mark disintegrated, the enemy had not retreated, so the battle was not over.
Even if Ju Meng truly fell, they would not let these malicious guys touch her remains in the slightest.
Thus, the first conflict between the Psychic and urban legend guarding Taoyuan and those invaders suddenly erupted in a deathly silence.
The first to strike was a urban legend with the Power of a mountain hound. It revealed its figure from its hiding place, raised its long arms holding a boulder that several people could barely embrace, and slammed it towards a group of unknown Psychic in the mountain forest.

A book says: "Mountain hound, its shape is like a dog but with a human face, good at throwing. When it appears, there is a great wind in the world."
As the boulder was thrown down, a terrifying vibration swept through with the hurricane. The rock layers trembled, and the soil rolled, like a carpet, creating ripples and tearing at the flesh and blood creations in the mountain forest.
At this moment, all the Psychic and urban legend who were subordinates of Taoyuan transformed into patients with mania, charging forward as if they had been buffed with madness. For a time, the screams from the periphery of Taoyuan rose and fell...

In the depths of Taoyuan.
Turtle Elder, whose body was like a small hill, stood silently in front of the huge pit formed by the collapsed mountain, gazing at the vermilion light cluster shimmering with faint light in the depths of the pit, praying silently in his heart.
At this moment, a strong wind struck, and Turtle Elder looked up, seeing Shang Nanxing with a tired expression. An anthropomorphic loving smile appeared on his huge, wrinkled head.
"Little Pudding, you're here?"
"How many times have I told you, I don't like that name." Shang Nanxing rolled her eyes at Turtle Elder, looked at the light cluster in the depths of the huge pit, and frowned, "How is she?"
"It's as the Proprietor expected. Jumang's Power has completely dissipated, and her remaining Spiritual Energy has been transferred to the new urban legend body core."
"So it was successful?" Shang Nanxing pressed.
"..."
Turtle Elder did not answer Shang Nanxing's question, but only lowered his large head, looking at the light pipe at the bottom of the huge pit with a complex expression, remaining silent.
"What do you mean? Did it not succeed? What time is it now? Can you stop being a riddle person?" Shang Nanxing's tone became more urgent.
"Boom——!"
Turtle Elder moved his massive body and faced Shang Nanxing, saying calmly, "You should know, the Proprietor's young master of fate Power is not complete. Even if the Power conversion and Spiritual Energy transfer are successful, she may not wake up immediately. I can only say that the Proprietor is still alive, but I cannot guarantee when she will wake up."
Understanding Turtle Elder's words, Shang Nanxing's tired expression became a little more serious. She felt that the situation had become worse.
An incomplete urban legend Power is not a serious matter for ordinary urban legend. In fact, up to now, no urban legend with a 100% complete Power has been found.
However, for a urban legend like Ju Meng, who is trying to find new life from destruction, without a relatively complete, even if pieced together, Power, it is like a smart product without an activated operating system, just an empty shell.
Although there is a relatively simple and quick way to wake up Ju Meng, it only requires finding other Powers to piece together and complete the incomplete part of her Power.
But...
Doing so still carries risks. Once the Powers conflict, it may lead to some unexpected and tragic situation.
It's like installing too many strange MODs. If they are not compatible, the game will crash.
"Waiting like this is not an option!" Shang Nanxing said anxiously, "She might wake up in a moment, or she might wake up in a year, five years, decades, or even never wake up. Are you just going to wait here?"
"Yes, I will keep waiting." Turtle Elder said solemnly, "The Proprietor's kindness is great, and three lifetimes of repayment are light. This old man is willing to guard her with his body."
"..." Shang Nanxing opened her mouth, pondered for a few seconds, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "Then I will wait too. If it weren't for her, I would have starved to death a long time ago. Just consider it compensation to her."
"No, absolutely not." Turtle Elder stopped her, "You must take the news that the Proprietor is still alive out, otherwise they will be in disarray. Also, those who have been eyeing the area for a long time are coming soon, right?"
Hearing this, Shang Nanxing's brows furrowed instantly.
She had received news before coming that the Night Watch was about to fail to hold the western side. If there were no accidents, there should already be Psychic and urban legend breaking through the encirclement by now.
After a brief thought, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say and go immediately."
Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Turtle Elder's wrinkled, large head.
————
West of Taoyuanli Scenic Area, on a rural road.
Lu Yibei was driving the large truck, which was like a wild beast that could lose control at any moment, speeding forward. She occasionally lowered her head to look at the map, her eyes shifting as if she was thinking about something.
From the map, there were at least five routes from Taoyuanli Scenic Area extending west to the edge of the Tang City city barrier. It was almost impossible to block all the Psychic and urban legend coming from this direction.
However, there are still many Psychic and urban legend who are subordinates of Taoyuan defending the periphery of Taoyuan. Should I just try to block most of the enemies?
In that case...
Lu Yibei thought, slowed down the speed slightly, examined the map for a while, and then her gaze stopped on a Kua Jiang Bridge named Taoyuan Bridge. Her eyes lit up slightly.
Got it, this is the place!
From the map, due to the steep terrain around Taoyuan Grand Canyon, at least three of the five main routes leading to Taoyuan must pass through Taoyuan Bridge, and one of the routes is the optimal route from west to east to Taoyuan.
Among those Psychic and urban legend, excluding those with flying abilities, the possibility of crossing the river surface of hundreds of meters is relatively low.
If they don't go through Taoyuan Bridge and choose to detour, it will either delay a lot of time, or cause the personnel to be dispersed, or they will break into other encirclements of the Night Watch, making it difficult to gather into a large-scale force, and the threat will be greatly reduced. I don't need to support, Smelly Girl's subordinates should be able to handle it.
So, if I ambush near Taoyuan Bridge, I should be able to intercept about half of the enemies. The rest...
Leave the rest to Smelly Girl's subordinates!
In this situation, I didn't just look out for myself and run away. I've already shown deep affection for Smelly Girl. Don't expect too much, okay?
Lu Yibei thought, withdrew her gaze from her phone, looked intently outside the windshield, and sped up forward.
Soon, the outline of Taoyuan Bridge under the night sky appeared in her vision.
Just as she had thought, at this moment, dozens of followers wearing Miracle Order robes had already gathered on Taoyuan Bridge and were quickly crossing the bridge.
"Hmph! Miracle Order, huh?" Lu Yibei said to herself, "Since you believe in miracles so much, let's see if the light of miracles will descend upon you this time!"
Saying that, Lu Yibei stepped on the accelerator to the floor, drove the large truck onto Taoyuan Bridge, and with the roar of the engine, like a raging bull, crashed directly into those Miracle Order followers.
"Hehe -! Take this, Gu Qianqian's move, Secret Technique · Rebirth in Another World as a Dump Truck Big Crash!"
