Jiang Yuan then led Ning Yanlan into his personal space, and the previous events seemed to have never happened, with the two returning to their previous state.

After bringing Ning Yanlan back to Ximen, Jiang Yuan didn't mention the matter to anyone else. Although a seed of doubt had been planted in his heart, he chose to continue to believe in Ning Yanlan because of his trust in her.

"Where did you go? We were so worried!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan returned, they saw Shi Yue and the others rushing around. Jiang Yuan asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The two of them stayed in the personal space for at least three hours, until he had calmed Ning Yanlan down before coming out. So they didn't know what happened outside during that time.

"All four city gates have been attacked, especially the south gate, which has been pushed into the city. All the outlying territories have been occupied by the beast tide. If the camp hadn't evacuated the civilians from the south gate in advance, the casualties at the south gate in today's battle would have been at least 500,000!" Although Leng Yue could see that the two were acting strangely, she didn't have the mind to care about their personal thoughts at the moment. She had to prioritize the overall situation.

"The south gate has been breached again?"

Jiang Yuan said with distress, "This shouldn't be the case. Although we didn't destroy the Holy Spirit Temple last night, we at least severely damaged it. Where did they get such a large army to attack the South Gate?"

"Last night, a Saint Spirit at the ninth level of the Void Spirit Realm led the attack, and they issued an ultimatum, saying that if we were to hand over the two of us, they would raze South City to the ground! Now, the entire South City is filled with resentment, and there are many statements saying that we should hand over the two of us to appease the Saint Spirit's anger. In other words, the oath now not only requires us to defend against the West Gate, but also faces the prospect of being attacked by many forces in South City!" Leng Yue's eyes were icy cold. She didn't expect the people of South City to be so stupid as to believe the words of someone who was slaughtering them.

"They're coming for me!"

Jiang Yuan's expression was gloomy. He had guessed that this would happen, but he did not expect that the forces in Nancheng would be so vulnerable, being pushed into the city center in just a few hours.

"What do we do now? We only have so few people. We've already reached our limit defending the west gate. How can we help the south gate?" Little Fatty said angrily.

"Never mind, I want to see how the various forces in the southern city will stand by and watch!"

A ruthless glint appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes. If he hesitated at this moment, he would definitely follow the rhythm of the Holy Spirit, which was obviously not the result he wanted.

If the Holy Spirit Clan can threaten him with the South Gate today, they can threaten him with an even simpler one tomorrow. And the forces in the South City, seeing that he would intervene, are even less inclined to resist, so in the end, no one will stand up for him.

He wanted everyone in Nancheng to understand that Nancheng had become a community of shared destiny, and that the situation could not be changed by any one person or force.

"And what about us?"

"Kill! Smash through the west gate! I want everyone to know that the south city is not meant to be besieged; it still has the ability to fight back!"

With the massive troop movement underway, today is the worst day Nancheng has ever experienced, but this is not the end, but just the beginning.

As noon approached, of the four gates of the south city, only the east and west gates had been breached.

The Eastern Gate faction is the Crimson Blood Army. As the most powerful warlord in the entire Southern City and the first force in the Southern City to utilize the blood of the Demon God, their hidden strength is extremely powerful. Therefore, after losing the city for a short time, they immediately drove back the beast tide, but the losses were still very huge.

The South City was a gathering place for people from all over the province of Jiang. Many of them were displaced and had no choice but to settle in the suburbs of the South City. The suburbs were the place where the most casualties occurred in this battle. Once the defense line was breached, tens of thousands of people in the suburbs had no choice but to continue to flee.

Meanwhile, Ximen, whose Oath had expanded to seven hundred men, displayed the momentum of seven thousand, constantly suppressing the enemy's spirit beast army with the help of energy cannons and energy guns.

"Brother Yuan, we can't get through. The energy arrays of the two Holy Spirit Pavilions ahead are too strong. We'll be attacked as soon as we get close!" Little Fatty retreated from the front line. Five hundred meters in front of where he had retreated, the two Holy Spirit Pavilions stood.

That location was inaccessible to any of the other Oath members, except for the chubby boy with his exceptional defenses.

This is the deterrent power of a Holy Spirit building.

"Yuquan, how's the situation at the South Gate?" Jiang Yuan glanced at the Holy Spirit Pavilion and then turned to ask Liang Yuquan.

Liang Yuquan's expression was solemn as he said, "The South Gate has already begun to assemble a counterattack team, but the casualties are extremely heavy. More than a thousand Spirit Awakeners above the ninth level have been killed or wounded, and the number of weaker civilians is countless!"

"If you don't hit them hard, they won't know how to fight back!"

Jiang Yuan looked toward the location of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, then said coldly, "Oath Squad, prepare to attack the Holy Spirit Pavilion!"
