Each Law Rune contains a powerful force.
That kind of power is far beyond Pure Yang Strong Origin, and the two are completely different levels of power.
“Just inscribing twenty runes, my strength has increased by more than 50% compared to when I first entered the peak of the Golden Body Realm.
If I inscribed a hundred runes and condensed them into a Rune Seed, I would have the power to fight even at the peak of the Rune Seed Realm.”
Feeling the formidable power contained in his body, Lu Yun muttered to himself.
After finishing his cultivation, he looked up at the sky, where the stars were hidden, and dawn was approaching.
“It’s time to leave.”
In a blink of an eye, Lu Yun stood up, deployed Instant Horizon, and disappeared from the spot.
“How is Flat Hill City now?”
After returning to Warship 18, Lu Yun immediately summoned Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals like Ye Xuan and Qing Hou.
“Reporting, General, the mission is accomplished,” said Ye Xuan, a black-rank Demon Extermination General, respectfully.
“Very well, inform the whole army, we will set off in an hour.”
“Our destination is South Nether Prefecture, Sky Brilliance Sect.”
An hour later.
The warship started and soared into the sky, the rumbling sound echoed over Flat Hill City.
“I’ve long heard that the Morigin Demon Suppression Army is a righteous force, and now it seems that the rumors are true. After entering Flat Hill City, apart from searching for and exterminating the remnants of the Profound Darkness Sect, they have not committed any crimes against ordinary people and martial artists.”
An unknown patriarch of a small family watched the colossal warship and sighed.
Behind him, a little girl with a bun on her head said sweetly, “Father, I heard that in the near future, Morigin will establish a Martial Academy in Flat Hill City, and anyone under the age of fifteen who has a Level 2 Innate Talent can enroll.”
“Yes, Qiner, you will definitely be able to enter the Martial Academy in the future and become a Transforming Origin Realm, even the legendary Origin Fluid Realm powerhouse.”
For clans like theirs, without Cultivation Techniques, the True Qi Realm is already their limit.
However, it’s thanks to them being a small family that they were able to survive.
All the large families were connected to the Profound Darkness Sect or other sects, and even their direct descendants were part of their sects.
After the Demon Suppression Army entered Flat Hill City, these large families were subjected to a brutal bloodbath.
Only the strongest in the city had True Qi Realm.
In the city lord’s residence, a refined middle-aged man revealed a complex emotion on his face as the Demon Suppression Army’s warship disappeared into the horizon.
“I never thought that I, a mere True Qi Realm loose practitioner, would one day become the garrison commander of a city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.”
He was a loose practitioner named Fang Tianfan from Flat Hill City. He had good social connections and a clean identity, without any ties to the Profound Darkness Sect or other sects.
Meanwhile, Fang Tianfan made significant contributions during Ye Xuan and other Demon Extermination Generals’ operations to clean up the remnants of the Profound Darkness Sect in Flat Hill City.
With his good management abilities and the top cultivation of his current realm, Ye Xuan promoted him to deputy garrison commander, fully handling all affairs of Flat Hill City before the imperial court’s appointment arrives.
Even though he was only the deputy garrison commander, this opportunity was invaluable to him.
“Now that I’ve become the garrison commander, I should make appropriate achievements. Maybe later, the imperial court will appoint me as the real garrison commander of Flat Hill City.”
Dark Cloud Manor, Golden Armor City.
“Two days have passed, and Elder Chen should be back by now, right?”
Huang Ping gazed into the direction of Flat Hill City while standing on the city wall, talking to himself.
Two days ago, Elder Chen went to Flat Hill City to provide support and asked him to handle Golden Armor City’s affairs.
However, shortly after Elder Chen left, the battle fluctuations in Flat Hill City disappeared, signaling that the battle had ended.
But Elder Chen never returned, which raised some doubts in his mind. Even the right to rule a city didn’t make him feel any joy.
“Was Flat Hill City taken after all?”
A thought emerged in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the distant sky.
A gigantic warship broke through the air, followed by several smaller warships, emanating a strong oppressive atmosphere as they approached Golden Armor City.
“It’s over, everything is over.”
Huang Ping’s eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly.
As a steward of the Profound Darkness Sect, he had some understanding of the Demon Suppression Army of Morigin. Every fleet, at the very least, had an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General stationed at its core.
Every Earth-rank Demon Extermination General had at least the combat power of the Rune Seed Realm.
Under their command, there were no less than twenty Gold Body Realm Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals.
At present, in Golden Armor City, including himself, there were only six Gold Body Realm martial artists.
With such strength, it was impossible to resist an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General, let alone deal with the Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals under their command.
“Elder Chen must have encountered some misfortune. With my current strength, it’s undoubtedly futile to try and block this Demon Suppression Army.”
“Judging by this warship’s speed, it will take about fifteen minutes to reach Golden Armor City.”
His eyes filled with determination, he then turned to the other Gold Body Realm martial artists beside him: “Everyone, the Demon Suppression Army is already approaching. Elder Chen’s whereabouts are unknown, and it is impossible for us to defend Golden Armor City with our current strength.
If we fall into the hands of the Demon Suppression Army, there will be no chance of survival. Now, we must find our own way to survive.”
With that, he fled the city.
The remaining Gold Body Realm martial artists looked at each other with faces showing indecision.
“Huang Ping is a lone and helpless man, while the rest of us have families and attachments. If we abandon the city without permission and are considered traitors, the consequences, as you all know.” A relatively older Gold Body Realm martial artist said indifferently.
Hearing this, the faces of those who were hesitant before changed slightly.
As stewards of the Profound Darkness Sect, they knew how severe the punishments for those who betrayed the sect were.
For any traitor, their direct relatives within three generations would suffer the excruciating pain of having their tendons pulled out and their souls refined, which was extremely cruel.
And they, as Gold Body Realm martial artists, each had a considerable family behind them.
“Fine, as an old man, I can’t advance to the Rune Seed Realm in my lifetime, and I don’t have many decades left to live anyway. I’ll live and die with Golden Armor City!”
After sighing, an elderly man dressed in a black robe, with white hair and gloomy eyes, revealed a trace of relief on his face.
Of course, if he still had hope of breaking through to the Rune Seed Realm, he might have followed Huang Ping directly and abandoned the city.
“Haha, everyone, we’ve arrived at Golden Armor City. I’ll give you six hours to take it down for me.”
Wei Zongcheng laughed loudly, stepping onto the air and directly arriving above the Golden Armor City.
“I am the Earth-rank Demon Extermination General of the Far Suppression Legion, Wei Zongcheng. If all those tied to the Profound Darkness Sect and its subordinate forces in Golden Armor City abandon their cultivation and surrender obediently, I can spare your lives.”
The booming voice echoed over the Golden Armor City, reaching the ears of every martial artist and ordinary person.
However, most people showed no significant reaction. The major families had already left Golden Armor City upon hearing of the Demon Suppression Army’s arrival.
What was left were mostly small families and ordinary people.
Of course, some families were merely involved with the subordinate forces of the Profound Darkness Sect and did not have the ability to leave the Dark Cloud Manor.
When they heard of the Demon Suppression Army’s arrival, they were completely panic-stricken.
“Hmph, abandoning our cultivation at this stage amounts to suicide.”
An old man burst out with his powerful strength, flying out of Golden Armor City and coldly saying: “Since Morigin is not paving our way to survive, we have to…”
Before finishing his sentence, he was obliterated by a punch.
The person who dealt the blow was a half-step Rune Seed Realm Black-rank Demon Extermination General under Wei Zongcheng’s command.
“I remember that there’s supposed to be a Rune Seed Realm martial artist responsible for guarding Golden Armor City. Where is he? Why hasn’t he shown up? Did he run away?”
Wei Zongcheng asked indifferently.
“He must have been scared away by the General’s formidable reputation.”
One of the Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals by his side immediately flattered.
“Nonsense, I’m only at the middle stage of the Rune Seed Realm, and I’m just an ordinary Earth-rank Demon Extermination General among the Far Suppression Legion. What reputation do I have?”
“Hehe, who doesn’t know that the General wields a Black Mountain Seal? With it, you can even kill peak Rune Seed Realm fighters.”
“That’s true.”
Wei Zongcheng nodded slightly before commanding, “Since there’s no Rune Seed Realm powerhouse in Golden Armor City, I won’t compete with you for military merits.”
In less than two hours, the five Gold Body Realm martial artists guarding the Golden Armor City and other martial artists were wiped out.
“The defensive forces of Golden Armor City are so weak. Could it be that the Profound Darkness Sect has already recalled all its main forces to their headquarters?”
Wei Zongcheng stroked his chin, analyzing the situation in his heart.
Meanwhile, he took out the Star Plate and erased the yellow dot representing Golden Armor City….
