Liu Ning blushed slightly, but then she was completely relieved.
Yan Xiangu couldn't help but ask, "Master, what just happened here?"
"A spatial rift just appeared here, and demons from another world are trying to descend..." Zuan gave a brief account of what had just happened. Those present were all top figures in the empire, and many actions would require their cooperation, so there was no need to hide anything from them.
"What?" Apart from Yan Xiangu and Liu Ning remaining silent, the others were in an uproar, and some even began to question whether his information was wrong. After all, the world was peaceful just a moment ago, how could it suddenly be an invasion of demons?
Ji Dengtu spoke up: "What Zu said is absolutely true, my daughter and I were also eyewitnesses..."
He then gave a general account of what he had just seen, as well as recounting the monsters he had encountered in the mountains and the chase he had been subjected to.
Yan Xiangu stood up in front of the war priest's corpse and said, "This monster does not exist in this world, and there is no record of it in any ancient books."
Hearing him say this, everyone had no choice but to accept this shocking reality.
"We'll talk about the rest later. Let's deal with this spatial rift first." Zuan arrived above Shadowmoon Lake. The lake surface had calmed down, but a dark and purple rift could still be seen deep within the lake, resembling a vertical eye.
Without waiting for anyone else to react, he took out the Tai'a sword and unleashed a dazzling sword light that slashed directly at the lake.
The lake water seemed to be intimidated by an invisible force, automatically parting to reveal the deep spatial rift inside.
The dazzling sword light, as brilliant as a galaxy, surged into the spatial rift, and soon the entire rift began to twist and tremble.
The arena was filled with top experts, who immediately sensed the spatial disorder. Sure enough, the spatial rift soon began to collapse and eventually disappeared into a black hole.
Seeing this, even many who were political enemies of Zuan couldn't help but cheer.
Only Bi Qi glanced at him warily, thinking to himself that this kid was even stronger than he had imagined, and indeed, he was not someone he could defeat.
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't destroy the complete space right now, but this spatial rift had just been established and was at its most unstable, so it wasn't too difficult to deal with.
If it were the sealed land of the demon race that had existed for countless years, it would be beyond human destruction.
"This so-called War Priest actually has the strength to fight you, and it's not even in its strongest form. What level does such a being fall under among those demons?" Liu Ning's brows were full of worry.
“He should be considered a regional overlord, but he’s definitely not the strongest among them,” Zaun replied. Although the war priest hadn’t said it explicitly, many things could be judged from his tone of voice and manner of doing things.
"Such an existence is not even the strongest." Pei Zheng looked worried. He knew that the terrifying aura fluctuation just now was comparable to that of a top-tier Earth Immortal in this world. He wondered what kind of powerful enemy they were facing this time.
“Actually, there’s no need to be so nervous. They can’t break through the protective barrier of this world yet, so they can only use this smuggling method. As long as we find and destroy these spatial rifts in time, we should be able to get through this crisis for now.” Zuan explained his analysis to the others.
The solemn expressions on everyone's faces eased slightly, and Pei Ming couldn't help but laugh, "Fortunately, the Regent discovered these demons' conspiracy in advance, which allowed us to take precautions. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"This was just a coincidence, it only proves that heaven is looking out for us." Zuan wondered if this was the world's will secretly helping them.
Hearing him say that, everyone laughed. After all, this was an era steeped in superstition, and people always believed that there was a divine will at work.
Liu Ning cleared her throat: "This matter must be kept secret. Once it is leaked, the world will be in turmoil. Before the demons invade, we will be in chaos. General Zhao, you take your men to seal off Tongluo Mountain. No one is allowed to approach until this area is secured."
"Lord Bi, go and stop those people from the various families who have come after hearing the news."
"Lord Pei, you will be responsible for investigating whether any of these newly formed spatial rifts exist throughout the world."
"Master Yan, we will need your rune array to help us next. Also, the academy's disciples are all over the world, so we hope to mobilize their power."
Everyone was impressed by how well she had arranged things.
Finally, Liu Ning looked at Zu An: "Regent, as far as I know, the demon race seems to be resisting a sealed land. The Regent has a close relationship with them and hopes to act as a bridge to see if the two races can cooperate to fight against a powerful enemy?"
