The Death's Chant: Cursing the living, welcoming the dead, accepting innocent spirits with the Death's chant, and thus embracing the mark of the deceased.

Using the Death Chant requires no other medium; it is a means of communicating with the dead through words, which can not only soothe the dead but also collect the marks of the unclaimed dead.

A complex and lengthy scripture appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind, which contained the chanting of the Grim Reaper.

"The Death God's Chant!" Jiang Yuan recited the scripture according to his heart. Although there was an official version of the Death God's Chant, it did not mean that he had to recite it exactly as it was written.

The chant of death is merely a call; the most crucial element is the power of death itself.

"A single thought leads to the road to the underworld, a single soul lamp guides a lonely soul."

Jiang Yuan looked back at the bewildered spirits. After their obsession with revenge was satisfied, they had no more goals. If they continued to wander in this place, they would surely be scattered and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"Depart!"

In the darkness, Jiang Yuan sensed that an unseen entrance had appeared in the world, and that spirits of the dead were constantly entering it.

"Collect the marks of the deceased!"

"Collect the marks of the deceased!"

...

Jiang Yuan was numb to such sounds. Most of the people who died tragically on Ximen's side were ordinary people who hadn't even activated their spiritual awakening abilities, let alone their own talents. Therefore, apart from the mark of the dead, Jiang Yuan gained almost nothing else.

However, the sheer number of Dead Marks gave him a rare moment of satisfaction. A full ten thousand and several hundred Dead Marks belonged to him. These were the first Dead Marks that he had absorbed, even though he hadn't killed any of them. It had to be said that absorbing Dead Marks in this way was much faster than taking action.

However, he did not want such marks of the dead, because these were innocent humans, and behind each mark of the dead was their story—whose children were they? And whose parents were they?

"Night has fallen!" Jiang Yuan lay on the pile of monster corpses, calmly gazing at the night sky.

The Golden Gate has lost its radiant appearance, becoming deep and oppressive. The night does not represent tranquility, but rather an undercurrent of turmoil. This is a time of revelry for beasts, and the night will give monsters even greater vitality!

"This feeling!" Leng Yue was completely immersed in a peculiar atmosphere, a call to slaughter hidden in the darkness, the night awakening the instincts of a night hunter. "So powerful!"

As Jiang Yuan was exhausted, he gave Leng Yue a detection, and information about the Night Child came back.

"Child of the Night: Basic Night Hunter bloodline, Ability Rating D, Amplification Multiplier 1.1!"

The amplification multiplier is the increase multiplier. That is to say, Leng Yue originally had 133 energy points, and with the blessing of the Night Child, she has 280 energy points. Moreover, this is based on the initial Dark Night Hunter bloodline and D-level ability rating. If these two aspects are stronger, the amplification multiplier will only get higher and higher!

"I feel like I can go and kill people!" Leng Yue's words carried a chilling killing intent, as if she had been influenced by the bloodline of the Dark Hunter.

"Bai and I can't fight anymore!" Jiang Yuan was well aware of his own limitations; he was in no condition to continue fighting, otherwise he would only be asking for trouble.

“Then I’ll go by myself!” Leng Yue didn’t care about that; she preferred to act alone.

"Alright, we'll take care of evacuating those civilians!" Jiang Yuan had his own plans; just because they weren't fighting here didn't mean there wasn't anything else to do.

In Ximen, at least several hundred thousand civilians have not yet been evacuated. Although various forces had previously sent people to evacuate them, manpower is sometimes limited, and some omissions are inevitable.

Take the Third Street for example. Logically speaking, the two alliances and three families had already led people to clear it out, but monsters continued to pour in, and civilians who had not evacuated were still hiding in their homes, trembling with fear.

So even after the cleanup, they still couldn't ignore any life that might survive, and Ning Yanlan's Stone Breath was the final weapon for this sweeping operation.

"I'll be back every hour. You all take care of yourselves!" Leng Yue drew her sword and prepared to leave.

"Bring enough supplies!" Jiang Yuan tossed out a storage ring containing a considerable amount of pills and food, enough for Leng Yue to replenish her energy. As for the Holy Spirit Stones, there was no need to worry about Leng Yue; this woman was like a squirrel, hoarding countless Holy Spirit Stones like pine cones.

Leng Yue put away her storage ring. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Jiang Yuan turn to look at Ning Yanlan, she simply said, "Then, contact her via the communication stone!"

"Be careful. If you can't handle it, go back to the team first. I'll help you get revenge after I recover!" Jiang Yuan said casually.

"Understood!" Leng Yue's expression changed from cold to gentle in just one sentence. However, after saying those three words, she headed straight for the Fourth Street without any hesitation.

This is hell for the weak and paradise for the strong.

“Apostle, the girl from before has also come. If we want to evacuate the civilians, why don’t we choose to cooperate with her?” Ning Yanlan sat down next to Jiang Yuan.

"Which one?" Jiang Yuan's mind was blank at this moment, and he no longer had the energy to think about who was who!

"That kind girl from the mutual aid society, I think her name is Wang Lina!" Ning Yanlan said after recalling.

"It's her?" Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He struggled to sit up. "Okay, but after the evacuation, I need to find a safe place to recover from my injuries!"

"I've already scouted the location. There's a park on the fourth street with spiritual energy several times higher than usual. It's sparsely populated, and monsters won't venture there. It's a good spot!" Ning Yanlan had a general understanding of the surrounding environment by controlling the breath of stone.

"Hopefully, we can get through this night peacefully!" Jiang Yuan was eager to recover his strength. The Ximen area was a battle zone between humans and the beast tide, and it could be said to be the best place to seize spoils of war. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to kill monsters so recklessly next time!

"Don't worry, I'm here to protect you!" Ning Yanlan nestled Jiang Yuan's head against her chest.

"No, no, no!" Jiang Yuan quickly refused, "I'm covered in blood, it wouldn't be good if I got your clothes dirty!"

"It's okay. As long as I don't think you're dirty, then it's someone else who's dirty!" Ning Yanlan forcefully pulled him into her arms.

Jiang Yuan smiled knowingly at such comments. Ning Yanlan was not a girl who cared about other people's opinions. She lived more freely and spontaneously, which was precisely why he was so attracted to her.

The Third Street entered a brief period of peace, but this peace could not last long. Within half an hour, a new wave of beasts had surged into the Third Street.

When a breach appears at the west gate, it means that the west gate of the south city can no longer be defended. Unless the south city uses human lives to fill the gap, it is impossible to close the breach. They can only watch helplessly as a continuous tide of beasts pours in through the west gate.

"My lords, are there any surviving humans on the Third Street?"
