Chapter 1150 Evacuation
The Demon Patrol Venerable was not only dead, but died so miserably…
A cultivator at the seventh level of the Core Formation realm floating before everyone’s eyes sent shivers down their spines.
The Fallen Wing King sucked in a cold breath. Some things were not enough when only heard from others; only when they were placed before one’s own eyes could their true terror be perceived.
No wonder the humans dared to show themselves at this time; they had their own backing!
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture gazed intently at Chen Yang, his eyes filled with killing intent.
As the Prefect, it was his duty to protect the prodigies of the Demon Capital Prefecture.
A single person was not enough in conflicts with other forces; the more cultivators who advanced to the Core Formation realm, the larger the territory of the entire force could expand.
Wasn’t the spirit vein painstakingly retrieved from the barbarians precisely to allow the prodigies of the Demon Capital to grow rapidly?
The prodigies of the entire Demon Capital compared to the divine abilities of the humans…
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture’s thoughts raced.
Suddenly, Chen Yang felt as if his entire being was locked onto. Every part of him, including his inner core, felt like it was being targeted by a venomous snake.
Wu Min, standing beside him, also instantly sensed that something was amiss.
The space around Chen Yang was locked down!
Wu Min knew very well that only two people present possessed the power to achieve such a feat: one was the Fallen Wing King, and the other was the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture, who was slightly stronger.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture knew of Chen Yang’s escape methods: one was his terrifying speed, and the other was his proficient ability to tear open spatial rifts.
What he didn’t know was that Chen Yang’s current understanding of spatial rifts was not deep.
His ability to tear open spatial rifts, find a passage within them, and emerge unharmed was entirely thanks to Wu Min.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture’s attack was instantaneous.
Intense pressure squeezed Chen Yang from all directions, leaving him no time to activate the Celestial Travel Secret Art.
However, Chen Yang only felt the pressure, which made his body extremely uncomfortable.
There were no internal injuries from the squeezing.
Chen Yang naturally understood what had protected him just now: the bronze cauldron!
After the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture retracted his hand, his gaze towards Chen Yang was filled with horror.
The squeezing force from just now had even distorted space, yet this Chen Yang was completely unharmed?
Even the Fallen Wing King would have had to struggle to break free from such a situation.
Yet, Chen Yang had remained motionless…
Even more terrifying was that what he had just felt was not like crushing a Core Formation cultivator, but rather a powerful spatial barrier.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture had felt this kind of spatial barrier a long time ago.
It was the spatial barrier of the Human Ancestral Land!
The spatial barrier of the mortal realm was weak, making it very easy to tear open spatial rifts.
But the strength of the spatial barrier that the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture felt on Chen Yang now far surpassed that of the mortal realm.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture was absolutely certain that Chen Yang must possess some kind of treasure!
Chen Yang now knew that everything that had just happened was due to the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture, who wanted to kill him!
Chen Yang felt a surge of anger, not because of the attack itself, but because he had completely lacked any sense of caution.
He had felt no premonition of danger!
His fear was not of his own death,
but of his own complacency.
Chen Yang’s voice erupted from his throat, each word sharp and incisive: "It seems you intend to start a war!"
Wu Min, standing beside him, immediately moved, creating a spatial rift next to Chen Yang.
"I want to see how many prodigies the Demon Capital Prefecture has."
As he spoke, Chen Yang prepared to enter the spatial rift.
At this critical moment, the voice of the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture rang out coldly, "Wait."
For some reason, many people heard a hint of tremor in the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture’s voice.
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture dared not gamble. Chen Yang was a desperate man who had nothing to lose.
"On the ancient battlefield, the people under the jurisdiction of the Demon Capital Prefecture will not trouble you. However, once you leave the human territory, the Demon Capital Prefecture cannot guarantee your safety."
"The Demon Capital Prefecture has never directly issued such an order before. This is already showing you a great deal of respect."
Chen Yang, upon hearing this, did not immediately agree. Instead, he said sternly, "Demon Bone City must be evacuated, and I want the life of the City Lord of Demon Bone City."
When these words were spoken, everyone thought they had misheard.
Chen Yang was not just arrogant anymore; he was brazen!
The City Lord of Demon Bone City, who had emerged from the bones, looked at Chen Yang in shock. This person wanted to kill him?
"Chen Yang! You…"
Before the City Lord of Demon Bone City could finish speaking, the voice of the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture slowly came through: "The City Lord of Demon Bone City? He recently secured a spirit vein for me. He cannot die."
"Demon Bone City can be withdrawn."
The Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture was not a mere cultivator; he was the lord of the Demon Capital faction, controlling tens of thousands of territories. There were certain actions he could not take.
The City Lord of Demon Bone City had been fearless in the recent surprise attack on the barbarians, achieving first merit.
To simply let him die would cause his subordinates to lose heart.
At a time when the Demon Capital faction still had to constantly face the barbarians and other forces lurking in the shadows, such internal discord could not occur.
Chen Yang frowned, not expecting the City Lord of Demon Bone City to be so important.
However, allowing Demon Bone City to withdraw was enough.
As for the City Lord of Demon Bone City, there would be ample opportunity to kill him in the future!
Ever since Chen Yang considered staying on the ancient battlefield, his first thought was to obliterate Demon Bone City. The City Lord of Demon Bone City, who had intercepted human warriors before, was on his must-kill list.
However, completing half of his objective now was sufficient.
Chen Yang chuckled lightly, "Oh? If that is the case, then the life of the City Lord of Demon Bone City will be held in custody by you for now."
Facing Chen Yang’s words, the City Lord of Demon Bone City’s face instantly turned ashen.
The City Lord of Demon Bone City could also guess why Chen Yang targeted him, which was undoubtedly due to the human warriors he had killed over the years.
However, fortunately, he had made a great contribution earlier, earning the Prefect’s favor.
"Farewell, everyone!"
Facing Chen Yang’s dismissal, the Prefect of the Demon Capital Prefecture led away several Core Formation cultivators from the Demon Capital Prefecture. As for the others from Demon Bone City, he paid them no mind.
The Demon Capital Prefecture had many prodigies, but none of them were in Demon Bone City.
Chen Yang’s gaze immediately fell on the Fallen Wing King, and he said sternly, "How many days worth of prodigies from the Wing Clan can I kill?"
The corner of the Fallen Wing King’s mouth twitched. All he wanted to do now was curse.
Dare to threaten him?
But upon remembering that this person named Chen Yang was truly capable of such actions, and that he had no way to stop him, the Fallen Wing King could only let out a muffled grunt of frustration and turned to enter the spatial passage he had torn open.
After all the Core Formation cultivators had left, Chen Yang did not allow the others from Demon Bone City to depart.
These people would be of great use to him.
