Chapter 118 Notification
Meanwhile, Shi Zi, who was in the center of the battlefield and was always looking for a favorable opportunity, finally seized a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the longsword in his hand instantly emitted a chilling light.
Like the brightest lightning in the night sky, it struck with incredible speed and force, aiming directly at the vital points of a Shadow Organization member who was being entangled with other enemies.
The Shadow member was clearly caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Before he could even process what was happening, before he could even flinch, the sword tip, like the scythe of death, mercilessly pierced his chest.
With a gush of warm blood, he let out a shrill scream, then his body collapsed to the ground, and the flame of his life was extinguished.
Time slips away silently like sand in an hourglass, while this thrilling battle continues unabated.
The two sides fought fiercely, their swords flashing and blades clashing, creating a deadly web. The shouts of battle were deafening and echoed in every corner of the battlefield.
After a long and fierce battle, the enemy, who had been invincible and full of momentum, finally began to show signs of fatigue.
Their movements were no longer agile, and their moves were full of flaws, as if they had been hit by an invisible hammer, and their strength and speed were rapidly declining.
The Spirit King, who had been closely monitoring the changing battle situation, naturally wouldn't let this fleeting opportunity slip by.
He took a deep breath, and the internal energy within him flowed like a river, endlessly gathering in his palm.
With a deafening roar, he unleashed his ultimate move—the Illusionary Spirit Technique.
In an instant, an unprecedentedly powerful force erupted from his palm, like a flash flood, sweeping unstoppably toward the enemy.
Faced with this force, the enemies fell to the ground like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, spitting blood and in a sorry state.
Seeing this, everyone immediately seized this rare opportunity and launched their final all-out attack.
Shouts of battle and the clash of weapons mingled together, echoing through the sky.
Under the combined efforts and fierce attacks of everyone, the villains of the Shadow Organization and the Poisonous Yin Cult could no longer withstand the onslaught and began to retreat in defeat.
Both sides suffered casualties on the battlefield, but the enemy had significantly more corpses on the ground than ours.
The only expert in the mid-stage of the Great Yuan Realm in the Shadow Organization also met his end in a bitter defeat under the combined attack of Hong Pijing and the Spirit King.
The remaining enemies were nothing more than minions at the Lesser Yuan Realm and Greater He Realm.
Suddenly, someone in the enemy ranks shouted "Retreat!"
The remaining members of the Poisonous Yin Sect immediately fled like stray dogs.
Seeing this, the men in black from the Shadow Organization also quickly retreated.
Those of lower cultivation levels, such as Huanlingyuan and Afu, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, upon seeing the enemy's retreat.
Cheng Peng, the big, dark-skinned man, was the most seriously injured. He lay on the ground, covered in blood.
Seeing this, Xiao Lie quickly got up and ran to his side, taking out precious pills and feeding them to him.
As for Xiaoyue, after the enemy retreated, she used a forbidden technique, which caused a few more strands of striking white hair to appear on her head. She then collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Seeing this, Hong Pijing was extremely anxious. He stumbled to Xiaoyue's side and called her name.
"Little Yue, you silly girl, how can you not take care of yourself?"
Daya and the others also realized what was happening and quickly surrounded Xiaoyue.
Daya called out to her anxiously, "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue." But no matter how she called, Xiaoyue showed no sign of waking up.
Daya sighed helplessly: "Last time I was dizzy for several days like this, and it will probably be the same this time."
Shanzi looked at Xiaoyue with a worried expression: "She has once again used such forbidden techniques for our sake. I'm really afraid that she might suffer some serious consequences."
When Xiao Lie heard Shan Zi say this, he comforted her, "We should trust her. If she was able to use it, she must have thought it through carefully."
Afu stood helplessly by Xiaoyue's unconscious body, saying, "What... what should we do?"
Hong Pijing reached out and checked Xiaoyue's pulse, then breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Xiaoyue has only fainted, but she is extremely weak right now."
At this moment, King Ling and Shi Zi also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
When King Ling saw Xiaoyue's condition, he frowned and said, "First, carry Xiaoyue into the carriage and let her rest."
Shanzi carefully picked up Xiaoyue and placed her inside the carriage.
Mei Yanyan and Daya stayed by Xiaoyue's side, their eyes filled with concern and self-reproach.
Shi Zi finally came to his senses and walked toward the Spirit King with a solemn expression.
Seeing that his expression was off, King Ling asked, "Shizi, why are you here? Why are you in such a panic?"
Shi Zi took a deep breath and recounted the whole story: "Spirit King, something terrible has happened! The Illusionary Spirit Palace has been overthrown by the Fourth Prince, Liu Lingyu."
King Ling was shocked upon hearing this, his brows furrowing deeply: "What? The fourth prince is plotting a rebellion? What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
Shi Zi quickly recounted the sudden change that occurred half a month ago: "That very night, we were all resting in our respective courtyards."
Suddenly, one of Sister Yang's subordinates came to find us, saying that the Fourth Prince had suddenly led his men into the Illusionary Spirit Mansion.
The people in the mansion fought back fiercely, but the enemy outnumbered them and had planned it beforehand.
We were fighting them, but Sister Yang sent me to find you and report on the Fourth Prince's rebellion in Illusionary Spirit City.
After listening to Shi Zi's detailed and urgent report, King Ling's face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes burned with rage.
"The fourth prince dares to openly instigate a rebellion while I am away. This is simply outrageous!"
After saying that, he made a decision without hesitation, waving his hand.
He commanded, "Everyone, follow me and set off immediately. We must return to Illusionary Spirit City as quickly as possible to quell this unprovoked rebellion."
"Yes," the five spirit stars responded in unison, their voices firm and powerful.
Then King Ling looked at Shanzi and the others: "I will take my leave first."
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately mounted their horses, the thunderous sound of hooves raising clouds of dust.
Just like their urgent and determined feelings at this moment.
They sped along, tirelessly rushing forward, as if to unleash all their anger and determination upon this vast land.
However, on a winding road, they unexpectedly encountered a large number of refugees from the Kingdom of Ling.
These people, with their families in tow, looked panicked, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Upon seeing this, King Ling immediately reined in his horse, dismounted, and walked towards the crowd, asking them in a voice full of concern and warmth.
"Gentlemen, why are you all in such a hurry? Have you encountered some difficulties?"
An old man, dressed in tattered clothes, with tears streaming down his face, cried out in a trembling voice, "My esteemed guest, please run away quickly!"
The Qin general led his army to invade. The Qin army was like a raging flood, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities wherever they went.
Our village was completely looted, the houses were burned to ashes, and all the food was stolen.
We had no other choice but to flee with our families.
Upon hearing this, King Ling frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry and anger.
He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the general who was defending the city? Did they not put up any resistance?"
Another young man, looking haggard and covered in mud, wiped the sweat and tears from his face.
He replied, "I heard that the generals are fighting desperately, but the Qin army is coming in strong, with a large number of soldiers and superior weapons."
We don't know how long we can hold out, so we can only try to escape and save our lives first.
Upon hearing this, King Ling gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white from his clenched fists.
It was as if he wanted to unleash all his anger into his clenched fist.
He said in a deep voice, "The despicable Qin state dares to bully my Ling Kingdom."
"Fellow villagers, hurry and evacuate to the east! I will arrange for reinforcements to support the general guarding the border."
The group set off again, continuing their journey without stopping.
At night, the bright moon hangs high, its silvery light bathing the earth.
They sped along in the moonlight, their shadows stretching long and thin in its glow.
It was as if they wanted to convey their determination and belief to every corner of this land.
Qin said worriedly, "Spirit King, the situation is dire, and we must speed things up. If anything happens to Illusion Spirit City, the consequences will be unimaginable."
King Ling nodded, his expression solemn and resolute: "That's right, we must race against time."
Even if the horses collapse from exhaustion, we cannot stop. For the sake of the country and the people, we must give it our all.
Looking at the blurry outline in the distance, Shu Lingxing sighed and said, "I never expected that there would be so many crises both at home and abroad. The Fourth Prince is plotting a rebellion, and the Qin Kingdom is invading again. This is truly a time of great turmoil."
Hua clenched his fist, his eyes firm and powerful: "How could the Fourth Prince do such a thing, causing the people to be displaced and homeless?"
And so they traveled day and night, enduring wind and rain, yet never complained or slacked off.
They had only one thought in their minds: to rush back to Phantom City as soon as possible, save the country from danger, and protect the peace and happiness of the people.
