Under the moonlight, the light took shape through the gaps in the leaves, casting a pattern on the ground like a large net.
"Um?"
Ferrard's gaze sharpened as he slowly rose and looked at the figure emerging from not far away.
He didn't recognize the people who came out, and he disdained to recognize them.
That was just a seventh-level martial artist.
But his gaze was still somewhat solemn, because what he saw was not just a single figure, but a dense mass of countless heads.
The person at the front spoke slowly, his voice as mechanical as a machine.
“Your Excellency, I apologize for disturbing your rest, but according to reliable sources, we will soon be attacked by strange beasts here, and we need to guard the anchor point.”
Ferrard squinted, sensing a bit of pressure.
Because there were many figures around, they were all standing in the moonlight and gradually approaching this area.
"court death!"
Ethan was slightly angry, and his voice landed on the crowd at the front like a heavy hammer.
In an instant, they both coughed up a mouthful of blood, their chests caved in, and they knelt helplessly in front of each other.
"This is just a lesson. If you get any closer, you'll die!"
Ethan's voice was icy, and he made no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his words, causing the temperature of the night to plummet.
But what happened next stunned him.
The figure behind completely ignored the injured warrior in front and paid no heed to Ethan's threat, continuing to advance with mechanical steps.
For a moment, he even wondered if he had forgotten to conceal his presence.
The Venerable One's imposing aura pressed down on everyone, as if carrying a heavy burden, making each step somewhat difficult.
But they kept walking, like puppets.
"Okay, okay."
Ethan snapped out of his daze, furious at his own momentary lapse in concentration, and roared, "A bunch of rats, die!"
Bang bang bang!
Ferrard did not stop him; the first few dozen people were instantly crushed into countless pieces by an invisible force.
The very presence of death, with its metallic scent filling their nostrils, should have instilled fear in these people.
Yet they remained fearless... no.
Ferrard squinted and saw the fear in their eyes, but something seemed to be compelling them to move forward.
"die!"
Bang bang bang!
Dozens more people were blown up, but they still didn't stop.
Ethan remained silent, sensing something amiss.
"Flying Cherry City certainly has clever methods; they can get so many people to give up their lives,"
Ferrard spoke, but his voice was somewhat cold.
Let's go.
He turned to leave, but Ethan sneered, "Just leaving like that?"
"What else?" Ferrard retorted. "Are you planning to kill them all? Have you considered public opinion?"
Humans are ultimately social creatures. If they dare to kill all these people at this moment, they will inevitably be condemned by everyone.
They may not care about the people of Flying Cherry City, but the news will inevitably reach Sky Eagle City.
If they appear in front of the public, they will likely be hit with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, and they may even be temporarily unable to show their faces in Sky Eagle City because of this.
At that time, wouldn't all the territories they managed be devoured by other venerable ones?
Therefore, they will not take action, or at least not openly.
Ethan's face turned cold as he realized the problem.
"I'd like to see how long they can stay."
There was a backdoor in the anchor point, which was already connected when they arrived in the vicinity, and could be remotely detonated at any time.
Since Fei Ying City is forcing them to leave, it's clear they're really prepared to turn against them, so they don't mind giving them a warning.
Ferrard, however, thought differently. Judging from the way these people were acting, they seemed to have no intention of leaving.
They could either be killed by the aftershocks of the detonated anchor point or slaughtered by the Venerable Ones; in reality, there's not much difference between the two.
After all, everyone knows that the anchor point is Sky Eagle City's technology, so if it explodes now, everyone will know who did it.
The only difference lies in whether there is substantial evidence.
This would also affect Ferrard and Ethan, and they wouldn't do this unless there was absolutely no other way.
“Let’s go.” Ferrard squinted. “This isn’t the city. There are lots of strange beasts here.”
His tone unconsciously became more forceful, and a hint of anger at being provoked appeared in his voice.
Ethan just doesn't like to use his brain, which doesn't mean he's stupid. He understood what Ferrard meant.
Since they can't do it themselves, let the beasts do it!
The two disappeared into the air, and Qin Sheng, who was in the wilderness, frowned slightly.
Surprisingly, he didn't get angry or embarrassed.
But these radicals still need a legitimate reason to disappear.
Qin Sheng might be able to imprison them, but such a large-scale disappearance would inevitably attract the attention of spies from other cities within the city.
Now that Flying Cherry City has just fallen into the hands of the Creation Cult, it's not the time to expose it yet.
Qin Sheng gazed at the night sky, seemingly lost in thought.
But he was just thinking about what kind of compensation he should ask Skyhawk City for, since these people died at the hands of the Venerable Ones of Skyhawk City.
He was never a good person, and the so-called pioneering path of the Creation Cult was just a fabrication; he was merely trying to save humanity while conducting experiments.
Just as he had previously answered the head of the Uesugi family, humans were ranked after him.
From this perspective, he does seem to be a cult leader...
Of course, the Miyamoto family had only been gone for a few days, and these guys couldn't stay still; they certainly weren't good people.
"The Crimson Soul Stone..."
That intelligent beast was hunted down by all of humanity, and its body was divided up by Nine Cities after it died.
