Chapter 954

The elite troops have arrived, and blue sky has come—this became a rumor on the streets and alleys of Rongcheng County after the imperial camp’s elite troops arrived.

Before the elite troops came, Rongcheng County had reached a point where even the yamen runners couldn’t collect their salaries.

When yamen runners couldn’t get their pay, they had to take from the people; taking from the people meant suffering for the folk. Within the city, gangs oppressed them; outside, mountain bandits oppressed them. Rongcheng County, situated along the imperial highway, left its people in unending misery.

Old Zheng, after all, is the owner of the Four Seals Society and a major figure in the capital—how could he afford to show such disrespect without fearing trouble?

“I don’t know that, but I know where the restricted zones are in the base—only upper-level personnel may enter. If we get close, we’ll be killed on sight,” the orc said.

Before the demonic power, these gu insects had not the slightest strength to resist; once tainted by demonic power, they immediately revealed their true forms and turned to ash with a sizzling sound.

That night, because of several young people, the atmosphere in Linjiang City grew tense. Yet Lin Mu, one of those involved, remained calm—he sat at a roadside stall, eating and drinking with the middle-aged man.

Boom boom boom… Suddenly, the volcanic mountain beside Wu Tian shook violently, and magma could already be seen flowing from its crater.

Meanwhile, their patriarch, Luo Fang, sat with closed eyes in the Lingxiao Palace, a satisfied smile on his face.

Although prolonged heavy rain had ceased, rainfall frequency remained high. Soil particles were washed away and quickly covered by rapidly growing wild grass—hard to notice unless one looked closely.

This Tyrannosaurus was also a primordial force beast—and of no low rank. Given its size, Lin Mu would likely face a long, grueling battle if he fought it.

“Yes, Xu Jianren and Brother Wu seem to hold deep resentment toward Brother Wu, and now it’s grown worse. But right now, the most urgent matter is that Brother Wu has been captured by the Imperial Guard—his fate won’t be good. Elder Liu, please help Brother Wu.” Tong Yixin stared pleadingly at Liu Qingxu.

“Then think carefully, Sabo—your enemy has so many cavalry. Where do their forage supplies come from?” the cavalry commander countered.

At that moment, a sharp phone ring suddenly blared in the First Leader’s office. Gazing at the phone on his desk, the First Leader couldn’t help but wear a grave expression.

A shadow flashed past. The two foremost black-clad men felt a cold wind brush by, then a sharp pain in their throats—before they could even cry out, they collapsed to the ground.

Huang Teng’s eyes blazed with killing intent. He leapt upward, his sword like lightning, slashing straight at the retreating wind wolf.

After arriving at the airport, Zhang Yang didn’t even have time to say goodbye—he rushed straight to the boarding gate, then hurried to Haibin, filled with worry.

“What? Jump into the water? Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Bai Feng roared, his face darkening. He snatched up his sword and dashed toward the water’s edge.

Along the way, he heard of the Church’s battle with the “Eye of Truth.” From rumors, the “Eye of Truth” held the advantage. Three of the Church’s Grand Bishops were absent; four of the Seven Protectors were missing.

After an emergency discussion among several experts, they finally established a basic fire suppression strategy: protect key areas, safeguard vital points, and proceed in segments.

“Mingxuan, can you share your thoughts?” Tang Ruoyun received Liu Yan’s signal. Though she didn’t understand why Liu Yan had agreed, she trusted him unconditionally and decided to follow his lead on this matter.

In fact, on the day he went to Lijia Village, Can Ying had intended to bring Jiang He and Jiang Hai brothers along—but considering their studies, he said nothing. Only at dawn today did Can Ying order Flying Eagle to rush to Lijia Village and bring the two brothers and He Xiuyun over.
