Chapter 146: Demons from Another World

The night was as dark as ink, with no stars visible.

With Storm City as the center, within a diameter of one thousand kilometers, it is like a quiet bay, but outside a thousand kilometers, it is covered with dark clouds, the waves are surging, and a storm is about to come.

Large black clouds rolled in along an invisible dividing line and soon covered the sky 500 kilometers above the ground.

No, if Storm City is taken as the center, the dividing line is a circle, so at the edge of one thousand kilometers, the black clouds are almost close to the ground.

The howling wind sounded like the chorus of countless evil spirits, and the temperature dropped rapidly to minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, and was still continuing.

Such low temperature constantly invades and penetrates, crossing the invisible dividing line, like a ferocious devil's claw, trying to devour everything.

In the village, old Mark suddenly woke up from his sleep. He was an old man over fifty years old. The traces of time were engraved on his body, but it also made his soul strong! Because of the wonderful, dangerous and legendary experience in his first half of life, he sneered at any means of bewitching.

So during the day, even though he heard Zhao Xianyu's oracle, it miraculously had no effect on him.

Almost all the people in the village had left. Under the call of Zhao Xianyu's oracle, they believed that the end of the world was approaching and that they could only survive by going to Storm City. So people packed up all their food and property, carried their bags on their backs, drove their carts, and left in a mighty procession.

In the whole village, only old Mark and his 32 dogs were left.

"My Lord, show the way for your lambs."

Old Mark got up, took out a statue from a locked box, and prayed devoutly, but the statue did not respond. Old Mark was used to it because no miracle had been performed by this statue since 28 years ago.

People say that their gods have fallen, but old Mark doesn't believe it. For 28 years, he has traveled across the continent through wind and rain to find his gods.

In the end, the god was not found, but old Mark's will became even more resolute.

“Woo woo!”

The wind outside was getting louder and colder, and the dogs were barking non-stop, looking very uneasy.

Old Mark changed his clothes, took his weapons, and strode out. His will was as strong as iron. The moment he opened the door, even the strong wind and cold were suffocated.

There were shadows in the distance, but I didn't dare get close.

"Humph! Bastards!"

Old Mark cursed, turned his wrist, and lightly swung a scimitar in his hand. The scimitar flew out with a burst of flames. In an instant, a scream was heard from the shadow in the distance.

Now the world is quiet.

With another cold snort, Old Mark turned around and was about to go back to his room to sleep. The dog suddenly stopped barking, the wind stopped, and a woman's laughter as silvery as a bell suddenly rang out in the dark room.

Old Mark's eyes were wide open with anger, and he took a step forward and turned into an ice sculpture.

A strange and beautiful woman came out and licked Old Mark's ice sculpture with her tongue, as if she was taking something away. In a moment, the ice sculpture shattered and Old Mark's body was extremely rotten.

"Haha, what good luck, I haven't met such a sweet soul in many years."

The woman said greedily, looking towards the direction of Storm City, very impatient. Behind her, countless clouds of yin energy rushed out from a crack in the abyss and formed a terrifying cold fog, like a huge army, rushing towards the direction of Storm City.

At the same time, in the southeast of Storm City, outside the boundary line of Zhao Xianyu's mountain god belief, a total of five thousand strange paper figures were standing quietly, like a terrifying army.

In front of this army of paper men were a dozen men and women with rhinoceros horns on their heads.

"The Abyss Ghost Tribe has launched an attack."

A middle-aged man with a rhino horn spoke.

"They have a big appetite. They want to take over Storm City right away. We have been busy planning for more than ten years. How can we let them get their wish? Divine Army, attack!"

——

"My lord, it's bad, the enemy has already launched an attack!"

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yang was meditating with his eyes closed when Zhao Xianyu found him in a panic.

In fact, he was as tired as an old dog just a moment ago. After all, a level 5 storage orb was not so easy to crack, and he needed to break all the traps and mechanisms inside one by one. In the end, it took him most of the night to finish it.

But the same thing goes, he has to stay calm, at least to let Zhao Xianyu know that he is confident and omnipotent in both civil and military affairs, even if it is just a disguise.

After all, if a god panics, how can his believers persist?

But Zhao Xianyu has not yet realized that he is a powerful god, and only wants to make a quick buck and leave. This idea is very dangerous, and this is the disadvantage of getting rich overnight.

"I know everything."

Zhang Yang said calmly that the information reflected in the Mountain God Order was very timely. Basically, he knew everything that Zhao Xianyu knew, and what Zhao Xianyu didn’t know, well, it seemed that he didn’t know either.

And there is a strange thing. The Mountain God Order could be upgraded by killing a high-level ghost at random. But now, Zhao Xianyu is a level 40 mountain god, and the Mountain God Order has not been upgraded at all.

Zhang Yang could only conclude that Zhao Xianyu was not worthy of the position, or that he did not meet certain conditions.

"My Lord, what should we do? The ones coming are the Abyss Army and the Paper Man Army. They are like a dark cloud covering the sky, unstoppable and aggressive. In just half an hour, they have invaded 0.1 km into our territory. If this continues, we will be finished in a few days."

Zhang Yang: …

"Calm down. You have to act like a mountain god now. You're a level 40 mountain god. Your divine power and faith domain alone can cover 50,000 kilometers. The enemy must have used more than ten times our strength to suppress your divine power and faith domain to a diameter of 1,000 kilometers. You should be proud of it."

"Proud? Sir, I'm actually just a level 5 mountain god. I'm afraid that once the enemy finds out our flaws, we won't even have a chance to escape." Zhao Xianyu said with a sad face.

Zhang Yang was speechless. Theoretically, this was indeed possible, but the problem was that the enemy didn't know.

Who would think that a rock-stirrer who broke into the battlefield of the third-level civilization hegemony and could snatch food from the mouths of the big bosses of various hegemony battles was actually a small fry from the first-level civilization hegemony battlefield, only level 5? Or even if those enemies wanted to, they would first have to crack Zhao Xianyu's divination skills and suppress Zhao Xianyu's level 30 oracle. After all, in this world, no indigenous god has ever been willing to consume a large amount of divinity just to upgrade the oracle (the king of mouth cannon).

So whether it is the Abyss Ghost Clan or the Paper Man Sect, they are all very embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter. You can continue to select talents. Remember, the enemy is scary, but can it be scarier than me? If you don't want to become a steamed salted fish."

"Oh, by the way, call that lame Robin over to me. It's time for me to have a good talk with him. If we're lucky, he will become your successor. Then, we can withdraw at any time. You can rest assured now, right?"

Zhao Xianyu finally went there with peace of mind, but Zhang Yang actually lied to him. The lame Robin was very cunning and had a thorough understanding of the problem, so he would not be willing to be a scapegoat.

So this war must be fought.

Zhang Yang rubbed his brows tiredly and took a nap on the spot. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Lame Robin. He was standing quietly at the entrance of the secret room. He was neither panicked nor arrogant, but very calm.

"sit."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Thank you, sir."

Looking at this lame Robin, honestly speaking, Zhang Yang had an urge to chop him into meat paste. Damn it, he originally had a good card, but this guy turned the table over, and now the situation is out of control.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind. If killing this lame Robin could solve the problem, he would have done it long ago.

"Tell me about me. I mean the son of shoemaker Takken Joseph, the young shoemaker Rick Joseph. He is an old acquaintance of yours, right?"

Zhang Yang went straight to the point. Now he had figured out that he had run from the first-level battlefield to the third-level battlefield, all because of Zhao Xianyu's damn divination.

Therefore, he could not carry the fantasy village building order or the game village building order in his hand, and many of his own talents and abilities were forcibly sealed. Even though he had taken a first-grade foundation-building pill, he still could not break free.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang believed that the reason was still with the original owner. Maybe the little shoemaker Rick Joseph still had some unfulfilled wishes?

Lame Robin was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency is really frank. So, you are also one of those alien demons that invaded our home?"

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, but he had never expected Lame Robin to say that. This was indeed a fatal flaw. After thinking about it seriously, he said, "Yes, if we follow your definition, I am a demon from another world, and no matter what I did, no matter how different my methods were, in essence, I am no different from those demons from another world, because I also came here to plunder."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, there was another silence. After a long time, Lame Robin took out a small green box from his body and said calmly: "My great-grandfather is actually a demon from another world. He has a thing called the God's Village Building Order. That thing can take him through all the worlds, which has brought him countless benefits. He was originally a bastard in the family, with no status, no wealth, and was ostracized and looked down upon."

"But later, relying on that thing, he became successful and admired by everyone. He took revenge on those who had looked down on him and insulted him. He lived a happy life and married dozens of the most beautiful women in the world. He even became a king and an immortal god. Yes, the god I believed in at first was my great-grandfather."

"But fifty years ago, I don't know what happened, anyway, the god's order to build a village was broken, and my great-grandfather disappeared. You should know what happened later. It was our world that was invaded by demons from another world. As the heir of this generation in the family, I also got a small treasure left by my great-grandfather. It was this thing that helped me survive countless disasters in my 28-year career as a ghost hunter."

"I thought I could become a savior, like my great-grandfather, a great god, but the reality is more cruel than I imagined."

At this point, Lame Robin smiled and said, "My lord, I can see that even if you are a demon from another world, you are an inexperienced demon from another world. You know, you were so unlucky when you first descended on the little shoemaker Rick. I happened to see you, so I used this treasure to take Rick's soul and part of your soul without saying a word."

"That's why you were so weak when you woke up. But I never expected that even after losing most of your strength, you could still kill high-level ghosts. So, I simply took advantage of your trick. Well, I have to say that you were really ruthless, but at least you didn't kill me, otherwise you would have been dead at that time."

"Of course, at that time, I still wanted to use you, including everything that happened later. You thought your plan was perfect, but things changed too quickly. The sudden arrival of the Abyss Legion made me realize that I couldn't save the world by my own strength. No, I couldn't even save Storm City at that time."

"I was very conflicted. In the end, I made a decision that I didn't know whether it was right or wrong. I pushed everything onto you. I hope you can delay the demise of Storm City, even if it's slow suicide."

"From then on, things were beyond my control. Your methods really amazed me. You managed to raise a level 5 mountain god to level 42. To be honest, my great-grandfather was only a level 22 thunder god at his most powerful. You have taken advantage of everything. I never knew that gods could do this so easily."

At this point, Lame Robin opened the small wooden box, which contained a transparent coffin the size of a finger. Two people were lying inside, one was Rick, the shoemaker, and the other was Zhang Yang. His imprisoned and sealed powers, as well as his soul force field, were all sealed there.

"This is my gift to you as an apology. Of course, I don't expect to be forgiven. It's meaningless. After all, you are a demon from another world who invaded my hometown. I will not forgive you, but we can cooperate."

"As I said before, I am an ambitious person. I still hope that I can save Storm City. I also hope that I can surpass my great-grandfather. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?"

Zhang Yang looked at Lame Robin calmly, without any ripples in his heart. Although the truth told by Lame Robin was very horrifying and bizarre, especially that this guy once held his life in his hands, all this has changed in time. At least at this moment, the soul-binding coffin could no longer threaten him.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to make Zhang Yang believe what this guy says.

"Okay, we can cooperate. Tell me your ideas first."

"I hope to become the successor of the mountain god. Just as you planned, I will cover your retreat. You can leave this dangerous world calmly. You only need to leave me half of your divinity."

Lame Robin said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll give you a reply at this time tomorrow."

"My lord, there is no point in delaying. The sooner you leave, the less trouble you will have. And you have to believe me. In order to protect Storm City, I will never compromise with those alien demons. This is the best way to solve the problem."

"Well, I will give you an answer tomorrow at noon, and I promise that in exchange for your returning my soul, I will not kill you even if I disagree with your suggestion."

Zhang Yang smiled.

"Then, sir, I will wait for good news."

After Lame Robin retreated, Zhang Yang's expression became extremely gloomy, and he did not even open the soul-binding coffin in front of him.

"Xianyu, open a divination card."
