Chapter 68: Citywide Panic, Ye Bai is in Danger!

However, at the same time.

Martial Artist Association, Liu Qingtian's office.

"Association President, something terrible has happened!"

A cry of alarm suddenly rang out, interrupting Liu Qingtian's work.

"I just received news that a riot just occurred at Dimensional Gate No. 3! Although the riot has been suppressed, a Second Grade Peak Evil Spirit has escaped!

Currently, that Evil Spirit has already entered the Jiangcheng Wilderness!" A staff member of the Martial Artist Association rushed into the office in a frantic hurry.

"Swish!" Liu Qingtian's expression changed instantly.

"Dimensional Gate No. 3...

Do the people from the Xie Family and the Liu Family think they get so many Soul Crystal quotas every year for nothing!"

He stood up abruptly from his seat, not even caring that his water cup had been knocked over.

"Right now, immediately, contact the Military Department and forbid any Martial Artist from leaving the city! Send everyone who can be sent, and at the same time, draw personnel from Dimensional Gate No. 1 and Dimensional Gate No. 2 to launch a comprehensive search for this Evil Spirit!"

Close the city gates, and at the same time, mobilize a massive number of personnel to conduct a carpet search for that Second Grade Peak Evil Spirit!

Liu Qingtian was not making a mountain out of a molehill.

It is common knowledge that the Three Great Alien Races invading Blue Star have different specialties and advantages.

The Succubus Race is skilled in disguise and Charm.

The Beast Race possesses pure, powerful physical bodies.

The final Evil Spirit Race is known for being eerie.

It has no physical form, is immune to physical attacks, and when it launches an attack, it does not attack your physical body, but your soul...

If one were to check the current teaching plans of Martial Arts High School, there is a clear record of this in the history lessons.

After humanity started the era of universal Martial Dao, the threat from the Beast Race and the Succubus Race among the Three Great Alien Races dropped by more than one level.

But the threat of the Evil Spirit Race remains immense; there have been many battles where cities were besieged by Alien Races, and the number of Martial Artists who died at the hands of the Evil Spirit Race is the highest!

Because only Martial Artists holding a War Soldier can cause damage to an Evil Spirit! The higher the grade of the War Soldier, the higher the conversion rate of the Martial Artist's Qi and Blood, and thus the higher the damage that can be dealt to the Evil Spirit!

This is also the fundamental reason why War Soldiers have always been expensive!

Even having a War Soldier is not enough; one must also be equipped with Battle Armor and be a Martial Artist who has undergone long-term specialized training to be able to fight an Evil Spirit of the same grade!

If it weren't for the fact that both the Succubus and Beast Races have royal families, their combat performance would be equally outrageous.

The number of the Evil Spirit Race is the smallest among the Three Great Alien Races.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Evil Spirit Race occupies a dominant position among the Three Great Alien Races.

"Finally, check which Martial Artists have left the city this morning...

Be prepared at any time to notify the families of these Martial Artists to claim their bodies..."

Liu Qingtian added in a grave tone at the end.

The escape of a Second Grade Peak Evil Spirit is a disaster.

It is not a disaster for Jiangcheng, but a disaster for those Martial Artists hunting in the Wilderness and their families!

No matter how fast the Dragon Guard and the Military Department are, trying to precisely find an Evil Spirit without a physical form in the vast Wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

On his way to the city gate to take command, Liu Qingtian's face was grave; he had already anticipated what kind of uproar this Second Grade Evil Spirit would cause in Jiangcheng.

"Shock! Have you heard? Our city gates were suddenly closed in an emergency; no Martial Artist is allowed to leave the city anymore!

And I saw many people from the Dragon Guard rushing over. Now, many Dragon Guard members have gathered at the city gate, and there are also many Junbu Zhanshi gathered there. Does any big shot know what major event has happened?"

Liu Qingtian's guess was also correct.

This operation was too large, and soon a Martial Artist who was blocked at the city gate posted on the Association app.

"I also want to know. I was waiting to go out to earn milk powder money for my child, but suddenly they won't let us out. Does any kind soul know what the situation is? Waiting online, quite urgent."

"To the person above, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet.

I know some inside information; I guarantee you will only be glad that you didn't manage to go out, because no matter how much money you earn, you have to be alive to spend it."

"In the Wilderness, there is currently an Evil Spirit, and it is at the Second Grade Peak realm..."

"Holy crap, did I just save my own life?!"

"What? A Second Grade Peak Evil Spirit?! No wonder the movement is so big. The last time we had an Evil Spirit Race appearance in the Jiangcheng Wilderness was ten years ago, right?!"

"Stop discussing these irrelevant things and hurry up and ask if any friends have left the city.

The Military Department has sealed the city gates; those of us in the city are safe, but it's hard to say for those Martial Artists who have left the city..."

"A Second Grade Peak Evil Spirit—let alone Rank One and Second Grade Martial Artists, even Third Grade Peak or even those who have just entered the Middle Three Grades, without specialized training, will face a grim situation if they encounter it..."

These were some of the comments in the comment section of that post.

Within just a few minutes of posting, the popularity skyrocketed!

It actually quickly pushed Ye Bai's post, which was originally number one in popularity, off the top spot!

Following that, countless posts about the Evil Spirit Race in the Wilderness quickly appeared on the forum section of the app!

"What should I do? My dad left the city early this morning and even said he would buy me a Blood Qi Pill to eat when he got back. I'm so scared..."

"Urgent, urgent, urgent! What is the progress of the Dragon Guard and the Military Department? When can they take down that Evil Spirit? My parents both left the city today!!"

"My partner just entered Second Grade yesterday, and first thing this morning, he excitedly said he was going into the Wilderness to hunt. There's a high probability he's gg. Does anyone know if there's a legal right to inherit his estate after living together for three months?"

Panic and unease began to spread among those family members.

Most Ranked Martial Artists go out of the city to hunt.

Although the Military Department has closed the city gates, the time when Martial Artists leave the city is basically concentrated in that wave right after the gates open in the morning!

Xi Mengyue found out the news ten minutes after the post's popularity exploded.

She was still at Third High School today.

Because Li Qingqing had contacted her a short while ago, wanting to borrow the school's Martial Arts Training Room, the kind you pay for yourself.

"Xiao Pang, are you sure Ye Bai left the city today?!"

The person calling Xi Mengyue was Wang Xiaopang. The moment he learned the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Ye Bai.

"Teacher, I'm sure. This morning he even asked me if I wanted to go out together!

Then I even tried calling, but Ye Bai didn't pick up!"

Wang Xiaopang's tone was anxious, "What do we do? Although Ye Bai is Third Grade Peak and has even killed a Fourth Grade, he is no match for that Evil Spirit!"

"I, I don't know either..." Xi Mengyue only felt powerless.

"Xiao Pang, don't panic. Ye Bai is a lucky person and will have his own protection from Heaven; he will be fine!

The Wilderness is so big, and there is only one Evil Spirit. There is a 99 percent chance Ye Bai won't run into it!"

Then, glancing into the training room at Li Qingqing, who was sitting quietly in meditation, she gritted her teeth.

"The most urgent task is to keep the news hidden and not let Ye Bai's aunt or Qingqing know about this!"

"Especially Ye Bai's aunt; she is about to start her new treatment, right? We can't let her emotions affect her!"

"Right, I'll go handle it immediately!" Wang Xiaopang hung up the phone on the other end.

Xi Mengyue looked at Li Qingqing again, confirming that the training room's soundproofing was good; the young girl was focused on comprehending her Martial Technique and had not noticed anything unusual.

"May Wensheng protect him; Ye Bai will definitely be fine..."

She hurried back to her office and inserted three sticks of incense into the altar...

However.

Just as Xi Mengyue left.

"Click, click."

Immediately after, the young girl inside the training room gripped her fists tightly...
