Xia Yuanji's buttocks looked as if they had grown a long tail, and his eyes were full of anxiety, radiating an endless will to escape.
His body was like a bolt of lightning, breaking through countless demons and arriving at the city gate.
"Open the city gates!"
The earth shook with a tremendous roar, and the voice was full of anxiety.
A familiar voice rang out.
The guards inside the city were stunned for a moment, but when they recognized Xia Yuanji's voice, they quickly opened the city gates.
"boom!"
As soon as the city gate opened, Xia Yuanji quickly slipped inside.
Before he could give any orders, the soldiers guarding the city were terrified when they saw the shadow guard a hundred meters away.
Press the close button immediately.
"Holy crap! How did the city lord attract so many B-rank monsters?"
"Did he mess with Shadow Fiend?"
"No, it seems more like they were played by a monster!"
"Yes, yes, yes! That thing stuck in his back looks really painful!"
...
Although the guards whispered very quietly, it couldn't escape Xia Yuanji's ears.
He was still shaken and felt a wave of fear.
The opponent was actually able to mobilize a large army of monsters, and they were even B-rank Shadow Guards.
That's absolutely terrifying!
If I had known this would happen, I would never have dared to chase them outside the city, even if I had a hundred times the courage.
"He definitely has a huge secret!" Xia Yuanji thought to himself as he came back to his senses.
Commanding an army of monsters has never happened before in history.
"If I could control such methods, why would I need to live in this tiny Jiangcheng!"
Xia Yuanji's mind began to race, and in addition to shock, a deep greed arose within him.
After a brief pause, he disappeared into the distance and headed towards the mansion.
...
Outside the city, Chu Feng looked at the closed city gate, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
His relationship with Jiang Cheng deteriorated completely, to the point where it was practically a fight to the death.
Xia Yuanji is the strongest person in Jiangcheng.
The fact that he wasn't killed by the Shadow Guards remains a potential threat.
"Take it slow! I believe it won't take too long!" Chu Feng turned to look at the army of shadow guards behind him, his heart filled with confidence.
In his eyes, the tens of thousands of B-level shadow guards were not only a force that could be mobilized, but also key nourishment for advancement.
Moreover, according to the Shadow Guards, they also have a Shadow Demon leader.
If we could completely absorb the energy of these shadow guards...
Thinking of this, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, and he quickly racked his brains for a way to get them for free.
By killing alone, one can absorb the spirits and enhance their own Shadow Demon power.
He pondered for a moment and rejected the plan in his mind.
Doing it this way results in too slow improvement.
He could handle five or six on his own, but facing tens of thousands of Shadow Guards was simply unrealistic. Moreover, there was still one Shadow Demon that hadn't returned, which posed a safety risk.
That leaves only the second option.
Make them willingly relinquish their power and sign a contract.
Chu Feng is quite good at this kind of thing.
He had been fooled before by defeating them one by one, but now tens of thousands of monsters were trying to fool him all at once. For a moment, he was unsure of what to do.
"The bold get rich, the timid starve!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, having made his decision.
"Sir! What do you mean by 'the bold get full, the timid starve'?"
One of his shadow guards asked cautiously.
Chu Feng glanced at it, his eye twitching. He then reprimanded, "Insolence! These are the words of a sage! How dare you understand them!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down!"
The shadow guard knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, filled with fear and unease.
It had intended to flatter someone, but instead was reprimanded, causing it great anxiety.
Chu Feng looked around at the tens of thousands of Shadow Guard demons, pondering how to get them to obediently form a contract.
A moment later.
He pursed his lips and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone! A great opportunity is coming your way. Those who are willing, come with me!"
Chu Feng moved and walked towards the ruins in the distance.
The shadow guards looked at each other, completely puzzled. But upon hearing of the great opportunity, they all followed.
They were all just there to watch the show.
Listen to it, it won't cost you a penny.
In the collapsed ruins, one can vaguely see what it looked like before it was destroyed.
This place used to be a huge square, now covered with moss and overgrown with vines.
Chu Feng stood atop a statue, gazing intently at the shadow guards with a meaningful expression.
The shadow guards looked up at the "adult" on the statue, each one resembling a "successful person" waiting to listen to a lecture.
"How much do you know about the human divine city?"
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, whispers arose among the shadow guards below.
"A divine city? I've heard it's protected by human gods and teeming with powerful beings!"
"What human gods? They are nothing more than food raised by us, the gods of hell."
"I heard that billions of humans reside there, each with delicate skin and tender flesh, and they are high-end ingredients on the tables of important people!"
"Stop talking, I want to eat!"
"Dream on! You think you're worthy?"
...
Chu Feng raised his hand and pressed it down, feeling utterly speechless.
He discovered that all the demons in hell had different feelings towards human flesh.
In their eyes, humans are food.
This idea is like how humans view chickens and ducks.
Once you understand the other party's needs and address them accordingly, the rest will be much easier.
The more Chu Feng pondered his idea, the more feasible it seemed.
