Chapter 71: Imminent Battle on the West and Tian Yang's Fate part 1
Sounds of horns and drums resounded for all the city.
Xifeng and her two maids, who were ready to start their journey, halted and looked towards the city's gate.
Xifeng narrowed her eyes, annoyed by the unexpected circumstances, and shouted: "Damn those bastards... Let's see what the hell is going on there!"
The three beauties disappeared from the street and reappeared just a few seconds later on top of the city's walls.
The incredible scene in front of them shocked Xue and Yue immediately.
As for Xifeng, when she found out from where those sounds came, she was so angered that flames began flowing out from her body.
"Damn... They choose the wrong time to piss me off!!"
A few miles from the gate, a vast black portal was slowly opening, and those loud noises came right from there.
Even after a few minutes, those were the only thing that rang out from it, but they became even louder as time passed, so turbulent that the city's walls kept shaking all the time.
It was only when the gate was large, at least a mile, that something finally came out.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
A long line of armored soldiers walked out.
They were similar to the ones that Xifeng battled before.
All of them had thick and giant armor covering their body and a long spear at their side.
Xifeng looked at them with a severe expression and was quite shocked by the number of the enemy.
She could count almost one hundred soldiers, but she knew that it was only the beginning and indeed...
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Another long line of armored soldiers walked out again...
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Another one followed right after the second group, but it didn't stop there...
BOOM!!
....
BOOM!!
...
BOOM!!
More than ten groups of armored soldiers stepped out from the gate.
When Xifeng counted them again, their numbers reached at least one thousand.
The other people on the city's walls weren't too scared because arrogant enough to think that they could easily handle such a small number of enemies.
But Xifeng and the other two girls couldn't help but curse loud when the fifth group of enemies appeared since they already fought against them and knew of their horrendous strength and absurd defense.
The only thought that appeared on their minds was that the Profound Sapphire City was doomed.
Especially when they saw the other people behind the one thousand armored soldiers.
Xifeng took a deep breath and sighed: "At least, we found out how they manage to attack so quickly and smoothly... On their side, there is someone with great control over the power of space. Not even little Liang at her peak power could do something like that."
Xue and Yue could see the concern in the other's eyes, so Xue proposed: "Young lady...We should..."
Xifeng shook her head and responded, in a desolate tone as if already knowing their request: "It's too late..."
BOOM!!
The portal exploded in a myriad of tiny black orbs.
SWOOSH!!
SWOOSH!!
Those orbs didn't disappear but floated above the city and began scattering in a particular form.
When they were in the right position, they brightened and expanded until they collided with the closed orbs.
PLOP!!
PLOP!!
Under the citizens' incredulous eyes, an immense black dome sealed the entire city in a restricted space in just a few seconds.
But their shock lasted only for a moment because, at some point, loud noises of drums rang out again.
BUM! BRRUM!!
BUM! BRRUM!!
BUM! BRRUM!!
Savage shrieks of strange beast followed...
SCRAWL!!!
SCRAWL!!!
And finally, the sound of the war horns...
BRUU!!!

"Grandpa… What's going on?"
YueLiang asked the old man, who suddenly stood and moved his gaze towards the East Region, with a shocked expression.
Only after a while, the Old Man responded to her: "Hmm… Little Liang, can you show me the crystal linked with that young boy?"
YueLiang found his question a little weird but still took it out.
But when she saw it, her hands started trembling so much that if it wasn't held by than thin string made of pure gold, it would have fallen.
The old man saw the weak wisp of the soul of Tian Yang inside the crystal and thought, exasperated on his mind: 'Who the hell are they? Even my abilities are not so great...'
Zhu Huli was shocked by her daughter's reaction and shouted worriedly: "Liang'er!!... Liang'er!!"
YueLiang showed her the communication crystal with her trembling hands and asked her mother with a blank look: "Mom... Please tell me that Yang's soul is still as brilliant as before... Please..."
Initially, Zhu Huli didn't understand her words, but when she looked at the feeble soul's light inside the crystal, she finally understood her daughter's strange behavior.
But seeing that river of tears that was already pouring from those sweet eyes, always full of happiness, Zhu Huli didn't really know what to tell her.
Luckily, the old man reassured YueLiang, caressing her soft hair: "Don't worry, little Liang. He is fine."
YueLiang looked at him and smiled, desolately: "Grandpa… I know… But he is not…"

A vast amount of wood qi flowed inside the Heavenly World Pearl in the last few minutes.
It was so much that everyone there was shocked by it.
"It's incredible... Did YangYang find one of those rare treasures from the Immortal Realm??"
"It's the most logical explanation..."
"But... How is that possible??"
Seven of the Nine Celestial Maidens were chirping like lively little birds about the joyful event that happened because they couldn't believe that Tian Yang found a way to fill another Heavenly Vein in just a few days.
Green was naturally absorbing that power with a broad smile on her face.
As for Red, she was discussing it with Old Tian.
"Dad... Could something have happened to Tian Yang?"
Old Tian shrugged his shoulder and sighed: "Little Red ... I'm worried about him too, but there's nothing we can do. Damn... All this is driving me crazy..."
Hearing Old Tian's response, Red was even more depressed and only spoke, after considering something: "I should go out for a bit this time... I can help him..."
Old Tian looked at her in shock and shouted: "ARE YOU INSANE??"
"It just a for a while..." Red lowered her head and whispered, feeling a bit wronged.
The old man interrupted and scolded her: "Stupid... and what will you do if you can't come back??"
"I..."
This time even Red didn't know what to say.
After all, if she couldn't come back in time in the Heavenly World Treasure, the consequences would be tremendous.
Old Tian saw her sad face and caressed her long hair: "Little girl... Don't forget that you are not the same thing as in the past. And our condition is even worse now that we are in this terrible situation. So just believe in that little bastard... Damn, he is not a child anymore."
