Ningcheng.
Cen Tian staggered into the city lord's mansion.
He clung to the door frame with both hands.
Gasping for breath, he cried out, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"
"You are a general, after all. You must learn to be calm and composed in the face of adversity, and not be hasty or flustered," Mo Bai reprimanded, frowning.
“It’s out.” Cen Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “The lanterns of the Four Divine Beasts have been extinguished.”
"What!" Mo Bai suddenly stood up.
Forgotten all composure and calmness, her voice trembling with anxiety, she grabbed Cen Tian by the collar: "What happened? How could it all suddenly go down?"
Cen Tian struggled, kicking his legs, and said in a breathy voice, "City Lord, if you don't let go, I'm going to die."
Mo Bai then came to his senses and abruptly let go.
Cen Tian pulled open his collar and took several deep breaths before he could catch his breath.
"I don't know what just happened."
"Suddenly, the lanterns of the four divine beasts emitted a five-colored light."
"And then, it went out completely."
"How could this be?" Mo Bai frowned, then his figure flashed and he disappeared.
His speed almost broke his previous record.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Wangcheng Tower.
In the past, the city gate tower was always enveloped in a soft light.
Now, it's pitch black.
Mo Bai walked over shakily and reached out to touch the Four Divine Beasts Lantern.
The next second, the lantern fell to the ground with a thud.
It shattered into four pieces.
Then, it slowly dissolved in the wind.
Mo Bai rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Where are the lanterns?
Such a big lantern!
How did it just disappear?
Mo Bai frantically searched the entire Wangcheng Tower, but found nothing in the end.
Cen Tian's speed slowed down a bit.
When he arrived, Mo Bai was sitting on the ground in a daze.
Looking at the empty city gate tower and the stunned Mo Bai, Cen Tian was also stunned.
After a long while, he asked, "Lord, where are the lanterns?"
Mo Bai looked up at Cen Tian and said, "Just now, I, I only touched it lightly."
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and gently poked the air in front of him: "It was just a very light touch."
"Then, the lanterns of the four mythical beasts fell to the ground and disappeared."
Cen Tian looked at Mo Bai for a while before saying, "City Lord, although I may seem a bit silly, I'm not really stupid."
Those were the Four Divine Beasts lanterns made by Miss Bai herself.
Even the seven-colored python tendons couldn't withstand it.
Will it break?
Are you trying to fool a dog?
Mo Bai waved his hand, not blaming Cen Tian for not believing him.
He wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to him.
"You really messed it up." Mo Bai pursed his lips. "Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Star Moon Sect to apologize to Miss Bai."
Before Cen Tian could say anything, Meng Yi ran over in a panic.
"Lord, something terrible has happened!"
"What is it now?" Mo Bai frowned, somewhat annoyed.
That was the city's protective treasure that Miss Bai left for them. It's gone just like that. Anyone would be heartbroken.
Besides, today is New Year's Eve.
He was having a nice chat with his wife and keeping watch at night.
Why are there all sorts of strange things happening?
Furthermore, what could be more serious than the Four Divine Beasts Lanterns disappearing for no reason?
"Many giants have appeared outside the city and have already trampled several villages," Meng Yi said breathlessly.
"What?" Mo Bai jumped up again.
giant?
What is that?
Monsters? Demonic beasts? Or cultivators?
"According to my observation, it seems to be a magical beast," Meng Yi said. "Although it is humanoid, it cannot speak, its eyes are pure black, and its movements are very stiff."
"What are the casualties?" Mo Bai asked, staring intently at Meng Yi.
Whenever monsters or demons attack, it is always the ordinary people who suffer.
They have no ability to protect themselves.
It can only be fish meat.
Meng Yi hurriedly replied, "There were no casualties."
"Many houses were damaged, and several villages were completely razed to the ground."
Fortunately, all the people were transported out by a five-colored divine light.
"A stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Upon hearing this, Mo Bai and Cen Tian exchanged a glance.
These are lanterns featuring the Four Divine Beasts.
No wonder it went out.
No wonder it crumbled in the wind at the slightest touch.
It turns out that all those resources were used to protect the people from harm.
But now the lanterns have gone out and vanished with the wind.
Without the protection of lanterns, wouldn't there be deaths and injuries soon?
Mo Bai frowned.
Meng Yi continued with a distressed expression, "But those giant monsters have such thick hides that we can't break through their defenses at all."
"If this drags on, we'll definitely be the ones who suffer in the end."
"Lord of the city, please think of a solution."
"Or, you should immediately seek help from the Star Moon Sect."
Mo Bai had the same idea, and almost immediately took out a communication stone to ask Zheng Wu Hui for help.
"I will send reinforcements immediately. Please hold on until we arrive," Zheng Wu Hui said solemnly.
“I’ll go too.” Zheng Wanning, who had just overheard the whole story, immediately stood up and said.
"Hmm." Zheng Wu Hui nodded, then shouted, "Qin Qi."
But before he could even set off, he received several distress calls from nearby cities.
It was exactly as Mo Bai described.
Zheng Wu Hui had no choice but to urgently contact the other peak masters.
Each led their own men to provide support.
The Bai family was not alerted.
Because they felt that Bai Qingqing seemed to value New Year's Eve very much.
Furthermore, they are already very strong.
With everyone at the half-step immortal realm and the addition of the Yue family, their combat power has increased several times over.
They are confident they can handle this monster.
Zheng Wu Hui quickly arrived at Ningcheng Station via Tianyuan East Station, and then swiftly led his men to join the battle.
The people on the other peaks also quickly took their positions.
The cities where the puppet attacks occurred were all near Tianyuan City, and coincidentally, Bai Qingqing had built teleportation stations for them before the Lunar New Year.
Everyone quickly joined the battle.
I thought I could quickly beat those monsters to a pulp.
but……
The ideal is very rich, but the reality is a little bit harsh.
Zheng Wu Hui spat out a mouthful of blood, cursing under his breath, and changed his trump card, charging forward again.
He has many cards up his sleeve.
However, it still couldn't harm those puppets in the slightest.
On the contrary, he was already injured.
His clothes were tattered, and blood smeared half of his face, making him look like a demon.
In other cities, and among other people, everyone was injured.
None of them were a match for those puppets.
However, no one was seriously injured, and no one's life was in danger.
If you are truly no match for them and are about to die at the hands of the puppet, you will immediately be enveloped by a gentle spiritual energy.
Then they were sent away from the battlefield.
A moment later, he was fully recovered.
This is true everywhere you encounter puppets.
We played for a long time.
His clothes were tattered and torn, and he had even lost his shoes.
Blood was everywhere.
But he was full of energy.
