Once Shi Wu became the new leader of Wushuang City.
All over thirty thousand people in Wushuang City would be under his control.
If that truly happened.
They would surely wish they were dead.
After all, Shi Wu's ambitions had long been exposed.
What's more.
If he became the tribal leader.
How could he possibly give the incomplete painting of the Road to Heaven to Chen Nan?
If the incomplete painting of the Road to Heaven could not be obtained.
How could Chen Nan reach the Third Heaven?
How could he cross the Nine Heavens, reach the Heavenly Palace, and find the Three Lives Stone?
How could he restore the memories of the past lives of those reincarnated gods?
How could he lead them to repel the alien demons?
How could he rebuild the Heavenly Court?
How could he lead them to attack the Western Pure Land and demand an explanation from the Tathagata?
"Chen Die, I must also return to the tribe," Yu Lu said. "If you have time, you are welcome to visit our Nanyuan Tribe."
He was aware of the situation in Wushuang City.
However.
A mere Shi Wu.
What was he compared to Chen Die?
With Chen Die's current cultivation.
He could destroy him with a flick of his finger.
Mu Yang also said, "Old Ancestor, our Beili Tribe also welcomes you to visit anytime."
Xuan Ming said, "Our Handao Tribe also welcomes the Old Ancestor to visit."
Chen Nan nodded slightly. "After I deal with the Wushuang City matter, I will visit your three tribes."
Quinn had said.
The Road to Heaven was a painting.
It was just that the painting was destroyed during the alien demon invasion.
It was broken into four pieces.
And divided among the four tribes.
If he wanted to go to the Third Heaven, he needed to collect all four incomplete paintings.
Thus.
Everyone parted ways.
Chen Nan and his companions headed towards Wushuang City at the fastest speed possible.
They had to reach Wushuang City before sunset.
And prevent Shi Wu from becoming the tribal leader.
However.
On their way back to Wushuang City.
Serious expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
"What's going on? Why do I feel so many alien demons around?" Xia Yuan's eyes were grave. He could sense the aura of the surrounding area.
Conservatively, there were at least hundreds of alien demons.
The sheer number was astounding.
Xia Dong also frowned. "Something unusual must be happening, we must be vigilant."
"Uncle Dong is right," Quinn said. "The clan leader proposed hunting alien demons this time, but the number of alien demons we encountered is far greater than before."
"I feel like something in our tribe is summoning those alien demons."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many alien demons in the territory."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A group of alien demons suddenly appeared ahead.
They stretched as far as the eye could see, a dense black mass.
Like a dark cloud.
An endless expanse.
Their pair of scarlet eyes sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Even Chen Nan, Xia Yuan, and Xia Dong, who had already reached the realm of Lower Divine Kings.
Felt a sense of powerlessness against such a large number of alien demons.
They had a premonition.
If they were surrounded by alien demons, they would be torn to shreds.
"How can there be so many alien demons?" Zhou Li's voice trembled.
Xia Lan also trembled with fear.
Tens of thousands of alien demons were no different from a catastrophe to them.
Let alone the seven of them.
Even if Yu Lu and the others were present.
They would not be able to break through the encirclement.
"We can't fight them head-on."
Chen Nan's eyes were grave. He transformed into a Golden Winged Great Roc, hundreds of meters long. "Get on my back, and I'll carry you across this land."
Xia Yuan and the others were no longer surprised by Chen Nan's abilities.
They immediately took to the air and landed on Chen Nan's back.
Everyone knew.
If they couldn't leave this place.
Even if they escaped the Misty Valley.
They would perish in the horde of alien demons.
Whoosh!
In the void.
Chen Nan waved his arms.
He transformed into a golden afterimage and shot up into the sky, instantly disappearing into the depths of the clouds.
He shot up into the sky precisely to avoid attracting the alien demons to the underground city.
Flying at high altitude would prevent them from being tracked by the alien demons.
"Why are there so many alien demons?" Xia Yuan's scalp tingled as he looked at the scene below.
Although they were high in the sky.
They could clearly see that the land below, which should have been a vast expanse of white, was now shrouded in darkness.
That darkness was the collective presence of countless alien demons.
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be something in Wushuang City's territory that is attracting the alien demons," Chen Nan offered his opinion.
Other than this possibility.
He simply couldn't imagine why so many alien demons had suddenly appeared in Wushuang City's territory.
Quinn's face was filled with worry. "There are too many of these alien demons. If they are not eliminated, the clansmen will perish before long."
Previously, there were over a hundred alien demons in Wushuang City's territory.
Over an area of more than five hundred kilometers, more than a hundred alien demons was not considered a lot.
As long as their luck wasn't too bad, they wouldn't encounter them while hunting outside.
Therefore, the clansmen could survive.
But now it was different.
Tens of thousands of alien demons lived in this territory.
As soon as they left the underground city, they would encounter them.
To survive.
The only way was to hide in the underground city forever and never come out.
But.
How long could they survive like this?
At most, they would run out of supplies in three months.
And then...
He dared not imagine.
After all.
There had been instances of cannibalism in history.
Whoosh!
Chen Nan soared through the air.
A moment later.
He arrived at the entrance of Wushuang City.
Compared to the dense horde of alien demons a hundred miles away.
It was remarkably quiet here.
Seeing that the sun in the west had not yet set.
A faint smile appeared on everyone's faces.
Despite enduring great hardships.
They had finally returned before sunset.
Chen Nan landed.
The group of seven followed the cracks on the ground and entered.
The guards at the entrance saw Quinn and the others.
Their scalps immediately tingled.
Because he had heard that Quinn and the others had entered the Misty Valley.
But.
Who could have imagined.
They had actually returned alive?
He not only recognized Quinn and the others.
He even recognized Xia Yuan and Xia Dong, father and son.
He knew.
Things were about to change drastically in the underground city.
------
In the center of Wushuang City, there was an altar.
A large crowd of people had gathered around the altar.
They all knew that the new leader would be revealed today.
This would determine everyone's future lives.
The aging old leader, Gu Jian, sat there weakly.
In front of him, a middle-aged man tallied the alien demons hunted by Nong Nian, Liu Zhou, and Shi Wu, then said to Gu Jian, "Leader, among these three, Shi Wu hunted one hundred and fifty alien demons, while Liu Zhou and Nong Nian together only hunted one hundred and thirteen."
"According to the assessment rules, Shi Wu is the winner this time."
"Shi Wu will become the new leader of the tribe."
As soon as this was said.
Some rejoiced, while others worried.
Liu Zhou and Nong Nian had intended to combine their scores.
However.
They hadn't expected Shi Wu to have hunted so many alien demons.
Even if their scores were combined now, it would be of no use.
They were also worried that Shi Wu would act recklessly after becoming the new leader.
At that time.
The tribe would surely suffer greatly.
After all, in many cases.
Human malice was far worse than that of monsters and alien demons!
Shi Wu's face was beaming with a smile. He looked down at the clansmen below, his demeanor haughty. "I have become the leader, do any of you have any objections?"
"I object!" Quinn said with a sinister grin. To the disbelief of countless people, he strode forward arrogantly.
Shi Wu exclaimed, "You actually left the Misty Valley?"
