Daxia, Donghai City.
This city, once one of the largest in the Great Xia Dynasty, with a population of over 100 million, was the economic center of the Great Xia. But now it is filled with evil spirits and has become a paradise for demons.
Since the demons occupied Japan and then used Japan as a springboard to invade countries around the world, the Great Xia became one of the first human nations to be invaded. The demons were everywhere, and many evil cults such as the Longevity Cult and the Blood God Cult were secretly helping them.
A traitor emerged within Donghai City, colluding with evil forces, and overnight, Donghai City changed hands.
Hundreds of millions of people in the Great Xia Dynasty became prisoners of evil spirits.
Currently, countless humans in Donghai City are enslaved, becoming food for demons and monsters, slaughtered and devoured at will, or used by countless demon warriors for blood sacrifices to practice their skills. What was once a thriving economic center has been transformed into a living hell.
In a short period of time, a third of the hundreds of millions of people were killed or injured.
Blood stained the ground, and malevolent energy permeated the air, filling the land with a stench of blood. Countless people were enslaved, and even those who barely survived were reduced to hard labor, numb and lifeless, like walking corpses.
This day!
The Shanhe Army fleet finally returned to this world after traversing the starry sky. At Lin Xuan's command, the fleet, like a ribbon of starlight, headed straight for Donghai City. Its overwhelming power tore through the sky, unleashing a terrifying storm; its unparalleled might astonished countless people worldwide.
The Great Xia Dynasty, its capital.
"Breaking news: Lin Xuan has led the Shanhe Army back from Tianwaitian and is heading straight for Donghai City. It should be because of the arrest of the families of the Shanhe Army soldiers."
Inside a simple and solemn mansion, in one of the study rooms.
An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit was listening to a man dressed as a secretary report: "Sir, Lin Xuan led the Shanhe Army to force his way through Shanhaiguan, killing twenty-seven gods in one fell swoop. Now, after returning from Tianwaitian, he is heading straight for Donghai City. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
The old man in the Zhongshan suit glanced at his secretary and said coldly, "If it were me, I would be just as angry. The Shanhe Army is very strong. If Lin Xuanzhen can take over Donghai City in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
“But this will cause a lot of dissatisfaction. Some people are already suggesting that Lin Xuan be convicted,” the secretary said softly.
"Hmph, convict... A bunch of stubborn fools. Do they really think Lin Xuan is still that boy who was exiled to Shanhaiguan and struggled in the First Army? He is now the commander of the Shanhe Army, an unparalleled powerhouse who can slaughter gods like dogs. Go tell those people that if anyone wants to convict Lin Xuan, let them go and kill him themselves!"
The old man sneered, his face full of disdain: "Do you really think I don't know about their losses? They're just trying to avoid losing their own interests."
A bunch of incompetent scoundrels who hold positions without doing their jobs will be dealt with sooner or later.
"By the way... about the matter I asked you to investigate—the arrest of the families of the soldiers of the Shanhe Army—how's the investigation going? Who exactly are they? Has the list been finalized?"
"this……"
The secretary hesitated.
"Hesitation means you've come out, but the people on the list are giving you trouble, aren't they?" The old man glanced at his secretary and said in a deep voice, "Some of them are related to me."
"Luo Qiushan, your fifth-generation descendant..."
The secretary gritted his teeth, handed the old man a list, and said, "According to our investigation, Luo Qiushan was likely used by someone. The real mastermind behind it all is actually the Mu family."
"Elder Mu!"
The old man took the list and glanced at it. He trembled, his expression finally changing. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. The list contained far too many people, and each of them had a powerful background and extensive connections.
He was already mentally prepared for this before he ordered his subordinates to investigate.
Even when his secretary mentioned his fifth-generation descendant, he didn't show much emotion. He was in this position, and his family had prospered because of him. There were tens of thousands of direct descendants alone. What a huge number that was. It was perfectly normal for a few scoundrels to appear in the family.
However, when he saw the name of the person at the very top of the list, he couldn't remain calm.
This person was truly beyond his expectations; he never dreamed that this person would be involved in this matter.
"He colluded with evil spirits, captured soldiers' families, and attempted to threaten the soldiers of the Shanhe Army. How could he dare... how could he..."
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disappointment, despair, and anger. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Has this matter been thoroughly investigated? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Well... sir, perhaps I should have someone reconsider?" the secretary said cautiously.
"well……"
The old man sighed and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's see how things are going with Lin Xuan first! This boy has already become a force to be reckoned with, but demons are not easy to deal with either. Let's wait and see!"
"yes!"
The secretary responded and carefully withdrew.
at the same time!
In Donghai City, on the top floor of a building shrouded in endless demonic energy, inside a massive conference hall, terrifying evil energy surged like a sea of clouds, making it impossible to see the faces of the people inside.
All that could be heard were deep, resonant sounds echoing through the air.
"That Lin Xuan has returned from the Outer Heavens, everyone... This boy is our greatest enemy. He seized the Floating City and sealed the passage, leaving us rootless. Now he has returned from the Outer Heavens and is heading towards our Donghai City."
"Hmph, it's good that you're here. I've wanted to kill him for a long time, eat his flesh, and drink his blood."
