Chapter 534: War is Coming
s.In the end, it was still through the players attracting the little demon's attention and then using a sniper rifle to headshot it that the little demon was killed.Lu Kong also discovered, perhaps be...Because the commotion was too great, not only were people in the air and on land aware of something amiss, but even the indigenous people and members of the Daxia Guild noticed it.
Members of the Daxi Guild and the Guard were about to follow Lu Kong into the sewers. Sensing movement, they all became a little flustered.
"Lu Gege, isn't it a demon down there!" Liu Yueqing widened her eyes, her face looking a bit pale.
Others also turned to look at Lu Kong. Although they sensed something was amiss, their perception abilities were far inferior to Lu Kong's and they couldn't be sure what was happening below.
Lu Kong's expression was solemn as he spoke, "There are demons, and there are undead."
That rich demonic aura and stench of death were inescapable to Lu Kong's senses.
"Lord of Land and Sky, we must stop them, or else Star River City will be in danger." The commander of the guard was a tall and muscular man with a grim expression.
Lu Kong nodded. “Go ahead.”
They entered the sewers, following Lu Kong, quickly moving in the direction where the breath was coming from.
…………
The Orion Newbie Continent, an unknown land.
In the midst of an intensely thick gray-white mist laced with corrosive poison, stood a multitude of pyramid structures. The surrounding space was vast and immense.
In the open area before the pyramid, a large number of undead stood silently, eerie and terrifying.
These undead come in all shapes and sizes, some are beasts, others are various semi-intelligent creatures, including merfolk, dog-headed men, half-giants, and even high-level beings like frost giants and bloodfang wolves.
The thick scent of death wafted from them.
And on top of the pyramid, stood several figures.
At the front stood a towering skeleton clad in a pale robe. The skull held aloft a massive staff, over four meters tall, adorned with various skulls.
Beside the towering skeleton stood a hulking Corrupted Claw Demon, its body shrouded in swirling green mist.
This Corrupted Claw demon is different from ordinary ones. The green patterns on its body are extremely dazzling and complex, and its demonic aura is incredibly thick.
Whether it was the Corrupted Claws Demon or the towering Skeleton, their aura was incredibly powerful, far surpassing that of an ordinary Rank 4 peak Saint Spirit.
Behind them stood some pallid members of the Pale Order and Corrupted Claw demons.
These members of the Pale Order and the aura of the Corrupted Claws are equally powerful, each one a holy spirit, and all of them are fourth-order holy spirits!
Looking down at the endless ranks of undead soldiers, Duwe Greenstripe, the dreadlord of Decaying Claws, broke into a satisfied smile. Turning to the nearby skeleton, he said, "Archbishop Steedive, your forces are indeed impressive. It was well worth all these years we've spent collecting bodies for you."
Bishop Stywe of the Pale Church's Hunter Novice Continent Diocese squinted, his pale soulfire flickering in his eyes. A raspy voice followed: "Heh heh, this is a specialty of our Pale Church, nothing to us. It's a pity... The plan has changed, otherwise, with some preparation time, it would have been much more secure."
Speaking of which, a murderous intent flashed in Dewey's eyes as he slowly said, "Damn player! I didn't expect that such a talented player would appear in this area. In such a short time since the official launch, there is already such powerful strength."
Stevie nodded. "You're right, and most importantly, it seems he's already aware of our plans. If we let him continue like this, all the arrangements we've made in each main city will likely be ruined."
Since becoming aware of the actions of the Sky and Land against their Pale Congregation and the Corrupted Claws, the Pale Congregation has become extremely cautious, afraid to expose its strongholds lest it jeopardize the grand scheme.
But what they never expected was that after the Pale Order lost two major strongholds, there were no further incidents. However, the Corrupted Claw turned out to be such a huge problem.
The lair beneath the main city was theirs for many centuries, painstakingly built over hundreds of years.
I didn't expect that bastard to ruin it so easily.
To be honest, some things were beyond their grasp, especially Dewey's.
They had already dealt with all the demonic energy, how did that bastard find the clues
How could Wu Yuancheng's lair, hidden so secretly, be discovered
Whether it be land or air, both Dewey and Stevie understood that following that bastard's style, he would definitely investigate other main cities next.
They were still quite confident in their secrecy, but the discovery of Wu Yuancheng's lair of corruption dealt a massive blow to their confidence.
They all felt that if they let the air and land investigation run unchecked, then it was very likely that other main city's defenses would also be ruined.
This is their secret lair, meticulously crafted over years of hard work and dedication.
If that were to be destroyed, the impact on them would be too great.
In the intense negotiations between high-ranking members of the Pale Church and the Hellfire Claw, they were forced to make a difficult decision: to launch their plan ahead of schedule.
Unfortunately, this decision was made too hastily. Just to take the example of the space gates for transporting the undead legions, only a portion were constructed.
Wu Yuancheng's spatial gate has been destroyed, the remaining three large main city-under spatial gates are still there, although they haven't been fully built yet, but they can be used with some difficulty.
Besides these several large main city spatial gates, there are only over ten other spatial gates.
And these spatial gates, whether in scale or function, are far inferior to those within the main city.
After all, creating a spatial door requires too many resources.
Even though the Cursespawns and the Pale Congregation are major powers, it's unlikely they would expend vast resources for a new continent.
And these spatial gates, too, have not been fully constructed.
But they had no other choice.
The arrow is on the string, it has to be loosed.
At this moment, in the corner of the space, there are twisted gray-white channels.
These spatial portals lead to various locations on the Newcomer Continent of the Orion, and at this moment, a large number of undead are surging out of the channels and launching an offensive.
Looking at the advancing army of undead, the Corrupted Claw Warlord Duwei let out a smile: "It's time for us to make our move!"
Steedway nodded, and a line of strongmen also flew towards the various passages as planned before.
They are going to, this time, directly overturn all the main cities of the Hunter Newbie Continent, and directly sever the roots of the Hunter Newbie Continent!

Da Wu Cheng.
City Lord Yin Yuehan is currently conducting the final handover of city affairs with Luo Ke, the former head of guard of Yuan Da Wu City. After this, Yin Yuehan will leave the Hunter Novice Continent and return to the Central Continent.
Just then, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and her gaze shifted towards outside the city. “Hmm”
Locke asked with some confusion, "City Lord, what's wrong"
Yin Yue narrowed her eyes, a hint of murderous intent flickering in her stern and imposing gaze. She spoke slowly, "There is spatial fluctuation outside the city, not far from here, and..."
She took a deep breath and said, “There are many undead coming out of that spatial distortion. They don't come in peace.”
Hearing this, Locke's face changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Lord Mayor, what should we do"
Yin Yuehan glanced at Luo Ke and said, "Next, you will be the lord of Dagucheng. Let me see your abilities."
Locke's expression stiffened before he nodded, took a deep breath, and roared: "Guards! A great enemy is approaching. Activate the defense formation now, and all guards assemble immediately!"
Not only Dazhucheng, Dayuancheng and Xuanyangcheng but also An Yuncheng and other secondary main cities felt a heavy sense of death.
They understand that a great war is coming., Xia Yan, Liu Yuexin, and Alice all widened their eyes slightly.Alice looked at the pug with some surprise. "Senior, do you mean to join our Yuanxing Commerce Guild Alliance"This is basically equival...
