Chapter 176: The Demon Capital Reappears
There were continuous loud noises coming from the direction of Wangyou Mountains. The mountain peaks were visibly cracking, and the rumbling sound between heaven and earth exploded like a bolt from the blue.
The ground shook more violently.
The people in the northern passage of Yingzhou City were so frightened that they forgot to cry and just kept running northward in the direction of the army.
Duan Qingkong lay on the battlements of the city wall, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
The talisman paper on the city wall flickered faintly, and finally turned into ordinary paper and fell to the ground.
The green light in the abyss has emerged to the surface.
Murong Hui narrowed his eyes and stared ahead.
The green light gradually dissipated, and the morning light from the horizon shone through the collapsed cracks in the Wangyou Mountains.
This natural moat on the border was split into several huge cracks from top to bottom as if by a giant axe.
Rubble larger than humans continued to fall into the cracks.
Many animals of all sizes that had managed to escape from the cracks were killed by the debris falling from the sky.
Amidst the overwhelming smoke and dust, a city as large as Yingzhou City appeared on the earth.
The architectural style of this city is extremely strange, as if it was directly taken out of a child’s distorted dream.
The towers and watchtowers on the city walls are in various shapes, like sharp fangs or twisted branches, which are very ugly.
The city gate was tightly closed, inlaid with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, and the huge stone pillars on both sides of the gate were carved with ferocious beasts.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a low roaring sound was heard in the wind, which made people shudder.
Yue Ran quickly walked up to the city wall and saw Duan Qingkong's body that was still alive. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and came to Murong Hui.
Before she could speak, Murong Hui pointed at the strange city with a heavy heart:
"You and I have lived our lives in vain, as we have seen the legendary city of demons with our own eyes."
Demon city?
A trace of confusion flashed across Yue Ran's eyes.
She had never heard of this place.
But the strange-looking city ahead made her feel uncomfortable instinctively.
She looked back at Yingzhou City again.
Most of the people had already evacuated from the north gate, and the army still had a small group of soldiers guarding the back of the crowd.
The officials of Yingzhou City were also looking back at her and bowing to her from a distance.
Yue Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
There were too many surprises on this trip to Yingzhou.
But at least the personal safety of the people is not in danger for the time being.
"Murong Hui, what is the origin of the Demon Capital?"
Yue Ran focused on looking at the huge city. After looking for a long time, he felt a little stuffy in his chest for some reason.
She frowned slightly.
Murong Hui turned his head to look at her, and silently held her hand.
Yue Ran only felt a warm force spreading from the palm of his hand to every part of his body, and the stuffiness in his chest quickly disappeared.
"The Demon Capital is the city where the great demons of various tribes live in the legends of the demon tribe."
Murong Hui's deep and gentle voice spoke softly into her ears.
"They never leave this city easily. Once they step out of the city, all the people on earth will suffer."
Yue Ran was a little surprised:
"Since you are a great demon from the demon race, why would you be willing to be trapped in a city?"
Murong Hui smiled gently and said:
"Of course they don't want to."
"It's just that ten thousand years ago, they were defeated by human monks and had to be sealed in the city."
"However, as time goes by, the ten thousand year seal will eventually be damaged."
"That's why we occasionally hear about demons wreaking havoc on the human world."
Hearing this, Yue Ran's expression changed slightly.
Human monks from ten thousand years ago?
Could they be the ancestors of the Shenzun Sect?
However, according to historical records of various countries, the Shenzun Sect has only existed in the world for a few thousand years.
Murong Hui seemed to guess what Yue Ran was thinking, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"It's not the Divine Sect."
"Ten thousand years ago, the human cultivators used their own flesh and blood to set up the killing array, but they have all been turned into ashes."
"It took thousands of years for the Godly Gate to appear and the demon to be sealed."
Having said that, Murong Hui sighed softly.
The demons have reappeared in the world, indicating that the seal from ten thousand years ago has almost completely disappeared.
In the world today, apart from the Shenzun Sect, almost no one can compete with the big monsters of the demon race.
Yue Ran thought for a moment and finally understood what Hall was doing.
"Is Feng Xiaolou's blood related to the seal of the Demon Capital?"
If that was the case, she should really kill Feng Xiaolou at all costs.
Murong Hui looked at Yue Ran solemnly and shook his head slightly:
“It can be said that there is some relationship, but it is not the most critical one.”
"The most crucial key should be the werewolf Hall."
"This is the first time in ten thousand years that orcs have mutated into monsters."
"Hall has transformed into a wolf demon. He can open the seal of the demon city by himself. Feng Xiaolou should be the descendant of a demon cub that escaped from the demon city. Her blood can speed up the breaking of the seal."
If Feng Xiaolou hadn't been there, Hall could have still brought the demon capital back to light by sacrificing his own flesh and blood for seven days.
Feng Xiaolou's role is that Hall doesn't have to suffer serious damage or lose his life.
All we can say is that the remaining influence of the human monks ten thousand years ago can only protect the human world to this point.
Yue Ran couldn't help but look up at Murong Hui:
"I have never heard of similar rumors in other countries. How did you know about this?"
She knew that Murong Hui had a peculiar identity. Just at this moment, she could clearly see that the black pupils in Murong Hui's eyes had turned into two vertical lines, and red lines appeared around his beautiful eyes.
But when she faced Murong Hui, she did not feel suffocated inside, nor did she feel the annoyance she felt when she saw Hall and Feng Xiaolou.
Murong Hui raised his finger and tapped his temple, with a hint of smile between his eyebrows:
"These memories have been in my mind since my transformation in childhood."
The inherited memory of the demon race.
Similarly, Hall was able to know the location of the Demon City and the shortcut to open the Demon City, so he must have obtained the inherited memory.
The difference is that Murong Hui never thought of bringing the monsters back to the world, but Hall is a madman.
"Yue Ran, we may not be able to leave."
Murong Hui turned his head to look at the strange city and sighed softly.
"You may also feel that the power of the demon city is spreading in all directions."
Although it was slow, the two men were standing inside and outside the Yingzhou city wall and were already in the Demon City area.
As the two were talking, a rumbling sound was heard from the gate of the Demon City.
Yue Ran's eyes turned fierce and he reached out to draw his sword.
The people of Yingzhou were not retreating quickly. If they could not stop the demons from coming out in full force, tens of thousands of lives would be at stake...
Murong Hui quickly held down Yue Ran's hand.
"do not move."
"Don't let them notice you."
Before he finished speaking, Yue Ran suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
A strange power came from Murong Hui's hand, and Yue Ran felt as if an electric current was running through his whole body, and even his hair was trembling.
"what are you doing......"
Yue Ran's scolding stopped abruptly.
She looked up and saw herself reflected in Murong Hui's eyes.
Two furry pointed ears grew out from the black hair on top of her head.
Strange and complex red lines appeared on her originally white jade-like cheeks.
It just covered up her original appearance perfectly, and even added a bit of enchanting beauty to her.
