Chapter 2181: Chapter 2178: Monster Beasts Lay Siege to the City

"The remnants of our Demon Clan have been identified—they’re hiding in Cloud Province City!" The man standing in midair scanned the many Monster Beasts and spoke in a deep voice: "The Demon Emperor wants us to hunt the remnants. Now that they’ve taken refuge in a human settlement, thinking they can be safe, they’re just dreaming!"

Roar! Roar! Roar! The Monster Beasts below roared in unison.

"In two days, we will flatten Cloud Province City, capture the rebellious remnants alive, and show humans that this world belongs to us Monster Beasts!" The man shouted sternly: "Everyone, raise your spirits, break through Cloud Province City, and slaughter for three days!"

This statement greatly motivated the Monster Beasts, and they shouted in excitement, powerful auras scattering and startling countless birds and beasts.

At this moment, Cloud Province City was unaware that the most dangerous time had arrived. Although the City Lord had some inkling, he did not expect that the Monster Beasts would aim to siege Cloud Province City.

At the East City Gate, Ling Feng watched as refugees orderly received their porridge. He searched his pockets again, feeling a bit helpless, and stepped forward to get a bowl.

Having faced the Sticky-Eared Beast earlier, Ling Feng had exhausted too much energy and now urgently needed to replenish it.

After devouring the porridge in two or three gulps, Ling Feng finally felt a bit of his strength returning.

"This body of mine is too weak now!" Ling Feng shook his head: "I need to find a way to enhance my power; otherwise, in this world, I won’t even have the ability to protect myself."

"Big brother, big brother!" At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Ling Feng.

Turning his head, Ling Feng saw that it was the little girl he had saved from the Sticky-Eared Beast.

"Big brother, it really is you!" The little girl rushed into his arms.

"Little brother, we really have to thank you; you saved Nan Nan!" A humble couple approached, expressing their gratitude: "If it weren’t for you, our Nan Nan would’ve..."

Ling Feng smiled and said, "It’s my duty, no need to thank me. But you are..."

"I opened a small shop in Cloud Province City. After our village was destroyed, Nan Nan’s mother brought her here!" Nan Nan’s father said, "Little brother, if you don’t mind, why not come to our shop and have a seat?"

Ling Feng nodded, holding the little girl and following them.

Nan Nan’s father ran a small grocery store; the shop was small and the items miscellaneous.

"The place is quite small. Little brother, find a place to sit, and I’ll pour you a cup of water!" Nan Nan’s mother said.

Ling Feng waved his hand: "No need to trouble yourself, but I have some questions, if it’s convenient?"

"Little brother, whatever you want to ask, just ask!"

Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "I’ve heard that recently many villages have been attacked by Monster Beasts. Is this situation common?"

The man’s expression turned grave as he shook his head, saying, "Of course it’s not common! Although there has been a thousand-year-long conflict between humans and Monster Beasts, such frequent clashes don’t usually occur, and this is one reason why refugees have been increasing and people are panicking here in Cloud Province City."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, thinking that something significant was going to happen in the future.

"But don’t worry, little brother. With the City Lord and the City-Protecting Great Array here, Cloud Province City is safe and secure!" The man said with a smile: "No matter how daring the Monster Beasts are, they can’t attack Cloud Province City!"

Ling Feng was moved: "Attack Cloud Province City?"

...

From Nan Nan’s father, Ling Feng learned that Cloud Province City had a history of several hundred years, and its City-Protecting Great Array was a Super First-rate Formation. Cloud Province City had endured countless attacks but always remained invincible.

"Are we safe hiding here?" In a corner of a street in Cloud Province City, a seven or eight-year-old girl asked the woman beside her: "I don’t want to keep running!"

"Your Highness!" The woman said solemnly: "Your Highness bears the mission of the Demon Race; you must not give up! Now that the Demon Emperor acts wrongfully, killing the Old Demon Emperor, as the successor of the Old Demon Emperor, you must stand up and set things right!"

"But... uncle’s power is strong! I’m not his match!" The little girl murmured: "And I don’t like fighting and killing. Five of the Eight Great Demon Kings have already submitted to uncle. We... We have no chance!"

"Your Highness, how can you think like that!" The woman said harshly: "The current Demon Emperor is ambitious, seeking to unite the world and incite a war between humans and demons. If he succeeds, then both the Demon Race and the Human Clan will fall into disaster!"

The little girl looked at the woman with confusion; she still couldn’t understand the burden of responsibility she bore.

"Your Highness, we’ll rest here briefly, then head north to find the Demon King of Magic Heaven!" The woman said softly: "The Demon King of Magic Heaven was the most loyal subordinate of the Old Demon Emperor, and he is staunchly opposed to the current Demon Emperor. With his support, you can put the Demon Race back on the right path!"

"Really?" The little girl looked perplexed.

...

Two days later, the City Lord frowned as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand, sighed, and said: "So you’re saying Cloud Province City is now surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Monster Beasts, but they haven’t made a move yet?"

"Exactly, Lord City!" A scout said gravely: "Preliminary estimates suggest at least over a hundred thousand Monster Beasts!"

"A hundred thousand Monster Beasts!" The City Lord muttered to himself: "What exactly do they want? Is there something in Cloud Province City they wish to obtain?"

Naturally, the City Lord did not know that what they wanted—the "Demon Clan Remnants"—was hiding right within their Cloud Province City.

The wailing sound continued, and several hours later, Monster Beasts surrounded Cloud Province City. The city raised the alert horn.

Now, all the citizens in Cloud Province City knew about the Monster Beasts besieging the city.

"The Monster Beasts actually want to attack Cloud Province City? Are they crazy?"

"Cloud Province City is a great city of several hundred years; how could mere Monster Beasts possibly capture it? Kill those fiends, avenge our compatriots!"

"But I heard that there are nearly a hundred thousand Monster Beasts outside; that’s terrifying!"

...

Ling Feng naturally heard the rumors outside as well, and his expression grew somewhat serious; a siege by a hundred thousand Monster Beasts made it seem difficult for Cloud Province City to hold!

Roar! Roar! Roar! The Monster Beasts outside roared together, their cries echoing into the city, astonishing everyone!

Cloud Province City had already activated the City-Protecting Great Array, and the City Lord ascended the city wall. Seeing the densely packed Monster Beasts outside, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

At this moment, from among the Monster Beasts flew out a cold-looking man: "People of Cloud Province City, listen well. Turn over the renegade of our Demon Clan, or else we will massacre Cloud Province City!"
