Upon seeing the Qiankun Token, the old man had no further questions. He replied with a "Yes" and then turned and hurried away.
Because of the existence of the "gate," all cities have multiple evacuation plans and conduct drills from time to time. So when he saw the old man accept the order and leave, Chen Qian felt relieved.
He turned around and threw out the four array flags he had been holding, which landed in the four directions of Lucheng Square. As the array took shape, the spreading spatial rifts were immediately sealed off.
Ling Tianhou, who was in mid-air, did not make any further movements. He simply stood with his hands behind his back, watching Shen Qian appear high in the sky, and shook his head, saying, "You came out so quickly, Shen Qian. You are more soft-hearted than I thought."
"Why can you slaughter so many ordinary people without any psychological burden?"
Shen Qian couldn't describe his feelings. He looked at the shattered black hole in the square, which was over a hundred feet in diameter, and was filled with rage. "You are a king, but you are also a human!"
"Naive!" Ling Tianhou sneered and said indifferently, "Those who do not become kings or marquises will turn into a handful of yellow earth in a hundred years. What difference does it make whether they die early or late? Our human race has a history of ten thousand years and has never been supported by these ants."
"Bullshit!"
Shen Qian cursed, "Even if you're a king or nobleman, aren't you still born of parents? Qiao Tianliang, I will kill you today!"
Are you expecting Gao Wenyuan to come?
Ling Tianhou smiled and said, "It's no use. This area within a hundred miles has become my domain. Unless I want it to, Jingcheng Hou won't notice anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tianhou made a grabbing motion with one hand, and the space several feet around Shen Qian instantly distorted, turning into an invisible cage that bound Shen Qian tightly within it.
Shen Qian made no resistance, only coldly watching Ling Tianhou. Ling Tianhou didn't take it seriously either. Just as he was about to bring the cage closer, the sky suddenly turned dark.
The darkness came so suddenly that the two of them barely noticed it before the clouds turned pitch black.
Ling Tianhou frowned and looked up, only to see that the weather system of Lu City had been shattered at some point. In the depths of the higher clouds, a huge shadow seemed to have broken through the barrier of space and descended over Lu City.
As darkness pressed down, the shape of the shadow became clearer. In the shadows, a huge head in the shape of an inverted triangle could be seen peering over the clouds and looking this way.

Those two scarlet eyes were so huge, like a dark red sun, that it was hard to imagine how terrifying the creature must be in its entirety.
At the city gates of Lucheng below, some of the residents who were continuously evacuating Lucheng noticed something amiss. They looked up and were immediately filled with utter horror.
Above Lu City, a colossal serpent appeared, its size enough to blot out the sky. Its tail was coiled outside the city, while its head was raised above the clouds. With its mouth wide open, the world was left only with a crimson glow.
The residents of Lu City who saw the giant snake were terrified, and even lost the strength to walk. It was a fear that came from the depths of their bones. They could only continue forward with the help of others, and they dared not look back again.
"Zhulong?"
Ling Tianhou looked astonished, then, as if realizing something, frowned and asked, "Is this Lu City fourteen years ago?"
The only time in Lu City's history that Zhulong appeared was when Lu City was destroyed.
Immediately, Ling Tianhou thought of a certain guess. He felt it was absurd and unbelievable, but it also seemed to be the only explanation.
At this moment, Chen Qian, now completely reassured, looked up at Zhulong without any further doubts and greeted him in snake language, "Brother Snake!"
In ancient times, Shen Qian was not sure. It was only later, when he learned that Zhulong had helped him more than once, that he vaguely began to have some guesses. It was not until he realized that this was Lu City on the eve of its destruction that Shen Qian finally became certain.
The snake god of Mangshan was the later Zhulong!
Although Shen Qian thought that once the Serpent God broke free from the shackles of the laws and was able to comprehend the Dao, its strength would inevitably surge, it still felt somewhat unbelievable that it had ultimately reached this point and evolved into the Zhulong, which was ranked among the top in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and was close to the level of a chaotic creature.
He clearly remembered that Lao Gao once said that Zhulong was only half a step away from completely transcending the level of kings and nobles and reaching the level of emperors.
Only in this way can the Candle Dragon influence the river of time in reverse, leaving itself coordinates to find itself after sensing that it is in some kind of danger.
The figure of Shen Qian was reflected in the scarlet eyes of the Candle Dragon. It hissed twice and lowered its huge head completely, plunging into the sky above Lu City. At the same time, the spatial cage around Shen Qian shattered silently.
Shen Qian understood, and with a light leap, he found himself on the top of the giant head of the Candle Dragon. As the Candle Dragon looked up, Shen Qian looked down at the astonished Ling Tianhou.
"You actually tamed the Candle Dragon... How is this possible, how is this possible..."
The scene before him clearly misled Ling Tianhou, who muttered to himself in a daze.
Shen Qian naturally wouldn't explain to him. Looking at the shattered square below, Shen Qian once again thought of the Lu City residents whose bodies had been completely destroyed. He coldly said, "Brother Snake, help me kill him!"
Although it was more than ten years ago, Brother Snake's strength might not have been as great as when they met again in Jingcheng, but he was at least a top-tier king. Shen Qian did not think that Marquis Lingtian would be a match for Zhulong.
