Chapter 919: 魔 Approaches the City

Moon Dew City, the main city of the Eastern Domain Alliance, was named by incorporating the character 'Dew' from Alliance Leader Ling Yao’s name. This signified the absolute reverence shown by all major forces in the Eastern Domain Alliance towards her.

However, within this largest city-state in the Eastern Domain, a flurry of activity was underway, both inside and out. Everyone was bustling ceaselessly, transporting supplies, tending to the wounded.

Meanwhile, at the Alliance Leader's mansion, all major forces of the Eastern Domain Alliance had now departed from the Western Wilderness Ruins space, which was sealed within the Western Emperor's mummified remains. Furthermore, those who had been infected by Karl's curse power, led by the former Thirteen Protectors under the Western Emperor, had all broken free from the Western Wilderness space and joined the ranks fighting against the undead of the Five Forbidden Zones.

“Alliance Leader, the esteemed members of the Sacred Flame Divine Sect have all recovered and are requesting an audience outside the gate.”

“Invite them in immediately!”

Ling Yao issued the command without hesitation. Moments later, over a dozen powerful Divine Sect cultivators, including the Five Heavenly Kings and other loyal core members of Xu Yang's Divine Sect, streamed in from outside.

“Alliance Leader, I never imagined that the space our Sect Master left behind would be so miraculous. After less than three days inside, the curse power on me was completely resolved, and I even gained immunity to curses!”

Old Tan excitedly patted his chest, boasting about Xu Yang's power to the assembled leaders of the various alliances.

The other leaders also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the members of the Sacred Flame Divine Sect return unharmed proved at least two things. Firstly, their faction now possessed a secret artifact capable of countering curses, which meant their leadership team wouldn't be infected by the curse power. This brought significant reassurance to the influential figures. Secondly, it made them miss Xu Yang even more.

“I truly wonder how your Sect Master is doing. He ventured into the Five Forbidden Zones with only a few people; it could be very dangerous! That place is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, the true forbidden zone of the Eastern Domain. Not only do we lack the courage to enter it rashly, but even ordinary people from the Central Domain's imperial family would never dare to set foot there!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yixuan couldn't help but rub his nose awkwardly. Although the Eastern Domain Alliance leaders didn't intend to target him, their words seemed to include those from the Central Domain within their scope. In truth, the Eastern Domain Alliance leaders were not wrong. Across the entire Yingzhou Continent, how many people would dare to claim they had no fear of the forbidden zones' legacies?

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. I believe Lord A Yang will not disappoint us. For now, our main battlefield can barely hold on. It all depends on how we perform in tomorrow's battle. As long as we win tomorrow, we'll be able to suppress the spreading curse and prevent our central city hub from falling into operational paralysis.”

With Ling Yao overseeing the grand strategy, the warriors felt a sense of ease. With a large number of Sacred Flame Divine Sect elites rejoining the alliance forces, Ling Yao was full of confidence for this battle.

As night fell, Ling Yao opened her window and quietly gazed at the full moon in the sky, her heart filled with longing for Xu Yang. She didn't know why Xu Yang had been gone for so long this time without sending any news.

The next day, Ling Yao personally led 500,000 allied troops beneath the main city, confronting the formidable Yinsha Demon Lord, imbued with a deathly aura. This Yinsha Demon Lord was none other than the leader of the Seven Ancestral Witches, previously dispatched from the Five Forbidden Zones. Standing behind him were four old individuals, the Four Demon Soul Generals, also dispatched by the Great Priest. All of them possessed Ancestral Witch-level strength, and when gathered, their most significant ability was to unleash curses at any moment on the battlefield! Such an ability was truly terrifying, explaining why these individuals were so audacious.

“Hahahaha! Little girl, I never imagined that at your young age, you would already stand at the pinnacle of the Eastern Domain's major alliance forces. You are such an outstanding woman; I almost can't bear to kill you.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao revealed a cold smile: “You'll need the ability to do so first!”

As soon as she spoke, the young woman took the initiative, and an azure Heavenly Sword totem quickly materialized behind her. In an instant, the sword light slashed through the air, and ethereal ice-blue crystalline flowers formed around its outline, rapidly blossoming hundreds of meters away on the opposing battlefield! Countless ice crystals, upon touching the ground, transformed into exquisitely beautiful ice flowers. As they unfurled the world's most stunning beauty, they also released an astonishingly powerful devouring aura.

Poof!! After being enveloped by the ice-blue floral aura, countless undead warriors were instantly frozen solid like statues, unable to move an inch, before turning into shattered soul ashes.

“Hmph, you are just like that presumptuous fellow named A Yang. What does it matter how strong your individual power is? In the end, you cannot change your fate of being engulfed by the curse!”

The Yinsha Demon Lord seemed unaware that his most cherished rear stronghold had already been completely overthrown by Xu Yang alone. Even now, he still possessed ample reason for arrogance, and could act as he pleased without restraint in this place.

“Four Generals, heed my command! Begin chanting and let these ignorant youngsters witness true power.”

After the Yinsha Demon Lord finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand towards the main battlefield. Countless purple flame undead swarmed forward, relentlessly eroding the allied forces' vital strength in an almost cost-reckless manner.

“Kill them all!!”

The battle cries from both sides thundered, and they fully engaged in combat. Even if these undead forces were stronger, what difference would it make? With the combined might of dozens of alliances in the Eastern Domain, even the foundation of the Forbidden Zones had no right to act unrestrainedly in this battle.

Thump! Thump!!

Countless warriors fell, but the enemy forces were not faring well either. After all, purple flame undead were not immortal beings; they also required energy to function, and they themselves were products of highly concentrated energy. In other words, the Five Forbidden Zones were treating this battle as a war of attrition. The allied forces, on the other hand, were responding and preparing with a true practical combat approach.

Before long, the battlefield had descended into chaos, with large patches of blood continuously gushing from the allied warriors' side. Although the undead were also falling at an even faster rate, the Yinsha Demon Lord observed all of this with an unbelievable calmness, as if none of it concerned him.

“Heh, you're certainly confident, aren't you? Even with disaster looming, you remain so calm!”
