......
Stepping out of the bronze gate, Xu Yunfan and Tuoba Guidi had already disappeared.
"Has Father left?"
Xu Xiwang gazed at the sky and murmured to himself, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, where did Father go?"
Xu Tianming and Xu Yifeng exchanged a glance, both remaining silent.
"Some things you need to discover for yourself."
Xu Yifeng patted Xu Xiwang on the shoulder and released Ye Linglong from the Mountain and River Cauldron. "Linglong, take Linglong back with you. I'm going to Changbai Mountain."
"I want to go with you, I'll follow you wherever you go!"
Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Xu Yifeng tightly.
"I hope that Second Uncle will go back to deter the Western world and protect the borders. He can go ahead first. If you need anything, come to the temple to find me."
Xu Tianming's lips twitched at the sight, and he took off running, muttering as he went, "I'm outta here. Except for my eldest brother, the whole family loves to get involved in romantic entanglements. I've been gone for so long, those Western goddesses must be in complete chaos."
"Um, Uncle, my stomach hurts. I guess my mom misses me. I'll head back now."
Xu Xiwang winked at Tuoba Yan Yan, then turned and ran away.
"Hey, you little brat, stop right there."
Xu Yifeng was so anxious he jumped up and down, but the two of them ran extremely fast.
...
After walking along mountain roads for a long time, Xu Xiwang and Tuoba Yanyan finally arrived at the nearest city.
Los Angeles.
The defensive walls of Los Angeles were a scene of devastation, littered with corpses, and blood had congealed into clumps, staining the walls red.
At the city gate, countless soldiers were checking people entering the city.
"Is this the human world? The scenery is nice, but why are there so many corpses and such a pungent smell of blood?"
Tuoba Yan Yan wore a black robe that concealed her face. As a spirit, she could not bear any sunlight.
"The world used to be wonderful, but then a great calamity befell heaven and earth..."
Xu Xiwang shook his head and led Tuoba Yanyan toward the city gate.
"Stop! Take off your black robe!"
Some soldiers drank cold drinks.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang raised an eyebrow, "My friend is not in a position to take off his black robe."
"spy!"
"It must be a monster from another race!"
With a shout from the soldier, countless soldiers nearby raised their guns and aimed them at the two men.
Even the plasma cannons on the city wall were aimed at the two of them, flashing with electric sparks.
"Regardless of whether they're spies or not, kill them first!"
A man who looked like an officer spoke in a sinister tone.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
Instantly, a hail of bullets rained down like a storm, completely engulfing the two men.
Despite a barrage of bombardments, no trace was found.
"Report! They've disappeared!"
"They were probably beaten to a pulp!"
“These alien creatures have become increasingly cunning lately.”
The soldiers were talking amongst themselves, and many of them showed disgust on their faces.
"What if we had just killed a human?"
A soldier murmured.
"Hmph! A bunch of alien rats!"
The leading officer roared, his eyes narrowing and flashing with coldness: "It can't be a human! Besides, it's better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"
"Is that so?"
Xu Xiwang's sudden remark sent chills down everyone's spines.
The soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at the two men again, but then a bizarre scene unfolded.
They pulled the trigger, but the weapon didn't budge.
"What?"
The soldiers screamed in terror.
"I will ask you questions, and you will answer them; otherwise, I will annihilate you, body and soul!"
Xu Xiwang's voice was chilling, as if it came from the deepest hell.
What has happened in the outside world in the past month?
