Chapter 146

Once the demon king fled, things here were basically over.

Not far away, Lei Li Ao and Tai Lun Si, covered in blood, limped over.

"Archbishop, God Sword General, the demon king has fled; the continent is likely to fall into chaos."

Lei Li Ao said sorrowfully, not really minding his own wounds.

"Ah, yes." Yi Si Ben also felt terrible.

If Xiao Feng's attack power weren't enough to kill the demon king, they could feel a bit better.

But Xiao Feng clearly had enough attack power; he deliberately went weaponless, playing a gamble with the demon king, sparing her life.

In the end, the demon king got away, and they were so angry they felt like vomiting blood.

"Xiao Feng Warrior, you really..."

Yi Si Ben looked at Xiao Feng and sighed for the Nth time.

He said helplessly: "It seems the prophecy of the Second War God is correct; Zhu Shen Da Lu will once again plunge into chaos, and a new War God will be born here."

Beside them, Bishop Tai Lun Si, face full of anguish, said regretfully: "One general's success is built on countless bones; the birth of a new god means the fall of countless beings. This time, I don't know which main city will suffer."

The four mythic NPCs gathered together, each speaking their mind, sighing long and short.

Xiao Feng and the others waited nearby for the quest reward.

"Old brother Xiao Feng, if you had just killed the demon king, it would definitely have been a splendid blast." Chu Long said regretfully.

Zhan Tian and Shen Di also felt it was a bit of a pity.

However, Zhan Tian still spoke up for Xiao Feng: "The demon king must not die; judging from the plot arrangement, this is not the place for her to die. Xiao Feng brother holding back is also for the sake of us normal players."

"Well, although we missed many rewards, the plot isn't over; there should be more quests later, so going back and forth isn't a loss." Shen Di also said.

After a few minutes, the four NPCs finally finished their nonsense.

Yi Si Ben walked over and said to Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng Warrior, although you let the demon king go this time, without you, if she broke free of her seal, we would probably all die. So after discussion, we still decided to give you and your friends the rewards you deserve."

As his words fell, the system prompt sounded immediately.

"Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the main storyline quest 【Rescue War City】!"

"You gained 5,000,000 experience points!"

"You gained 50,000 reputation points!"

"You gained 50,000 gold coins!"

"Please collect your item rewards from Yi Si Ben!"

Just looking at the system info shows this stage quest's quality is low, giving less than half of what it should.

Yi Si Ben took out four pieces of equipment and gave them respectively to Xiao Feng and the others.

As the main target of the quest, Xiao Feng received a Legendary-quality glove, inferior to his Mythic equipment, so he could only stash it in the warehouse.

Shen Di and the others merely received an Epic equipment, which was even less useful.

"These rewards are a bit shabby." Chu Long shook his head.

Hearing this, Yi Si Ben said helplessly: "If you had successfully slain the demon king, the rewards would have been one tier higher."

"That wouldn't be much either."

Going up another tier would just be Mythic equipment and Legendary equipment, whose appeal is quite limited.

Jia Li Er said: "Now that the demon king has left, we will communicate with Shen Jie, purify this Chengshi, and let the lost civilians return to normal. To avoid accidents, please leave the city for a while and come back later."

"Ding~ Please leave War City immediately! Otherwise you will be forcibly teleported to a nearby city!"

The system also popped up a prompt.

The Seal Release Mission related to War City has been completed; now the system map needs to iterate and update, so players cannot stay here.

"Well, we're leaving now."

Xiao Feng said nothing and directly led his friends away.

Otherwise, if teleported to a nearby city, going back and forth would take several hours.

By the time they return, the Teleportation Array might already be open, letting others rush ahead and snap up the main city's shops!

Mounting their warhorses, the four quickly ran out of the main city, continuing until they were 10 kilometers away, at which point the system warning disappeared.

A few minutes later, heaven and earth trembled, and the war city burst forth with intense golden light.

A blinding beam of light shot up from the temple's position, connecting to the heavens.

In Tian Kong, a dazzling light gate opened; within the gate, the silhouettes of deities seemed to sway.

Among them was an especially radiant goddess, holding a long spear, pointing obliquely at the mortal realm.

Countless golden specks of light rained down from the tip of her spear, drifting and scattering, falling upon the war city's main citadel and the surrounding plains.

The range covered by these light specks was exceptionally broad; Xiao Feng and the others were also hit by several of the specks.

"Ding~ You have received the nourishment of the war god's power, clearing adverse conditions, physique permanently +10!"

"Ding~ You have received the nourishment of the war god's power, agility permanently +10!"

"Ding~ You have received the nourishment of the war god's power, intelligence permanently +10!"

"Ding~ You have received the nourishment of the war god's power, strength permanently +10!"

"Ding~ You have received the nourishment of the war god's power, spirit permanently +10!"

Five light specks fell upon the body, exactly adding +10 to all attributes.

This also counts as a small blessing.

As the light specks fell, all living beings inside and outside the war city were purified one after another, the abyssal aura was cleared, and their minds regained clarity.

After a while, the golden light gradually faded, and the light gate in Tian Kong also slowly closed.

Looking ahead, the formerly dilapidated war city had become a magnificent, brand-new Chengshi.

High walls and gates, sharp spears and halberds, flags flying aloft, a fierce iron-blooded aura rushed forth.

This is truly a Level 2 Yi Ji Zhu Cheng!

【War Zone Announcement: Sharpening weapons and feeding horses, battle the Abyss again! Level 2 Yi Ji Zhu Cheng "War City" under the efforts of Longguo players Xiao Feng, Shen Di, Chu Long, and Zhan Tian has been successfully rebuilt, the regional seal has been lifted! 12 hours later, this Chengshi will be fully opened to Longguo players; meanwhile, the Abyss Zhan Chang gameplay will be opened to the entire war zone, all players in this war zone can participate. For specific details, please go to the war halls of the major main cities to inquire.】

【War Zone Announcement……】

【War Zone Announcement……】

An announcement echoed throughout the entire war zone.

Xiao Feng's name once again appeared in the sight of all players across the zone.

War main city opened, Abyss Zhan Chang activated.

This announcement carries more weight than any previous one!

"Old Xiao is awesome!"

"Xiao Feng, the great god, is invincible!"

"All four are big shots, my goodness……"

Xiao Feng's private chat channel was flooded with praise from friends; in countless corners of the zone, many were silently chanting these four names.

The four parties stood side by side, gazing at the distant main city, sunk in deep resentment.

"For such a big thing, there isn't even any extra reward……"

"Just 5 million experience and 50,000 prestige—are they sending off beggars?"

"Sigh, the human world isn't worth it; such a stingy game will surely go bankrupt sooner or later!"

Even though the announcement was posted, there is actually no reward at all—only a little experience given when the seal release mission was just completed.

With such a return, it's not even worth doing a level‑100 dungeon!

After 30 seconds of resentment, the four finally recovered.

Shen Di said: "Stingy as it may be, our main purpose this time isn't to get rewards. Come on, let's go into the city and snap up all the best plots!"

The three wealthy tycoons carrying huge sums have all come to buy out the shops in "War City" outright.

The three rode their horses straight for the main city, and Xiao Feng was not willing to be left behind.

He had no intention of opening a shop himself, but if it were cheap, buying one to rent out to others wouldn't be out of the question.

Moreover, the most important thing is that, with the main city's unsealing, the Abyss Zhan Chang gameplay has also been activated.

As the one who unsealed the main city, he might be able to go find Isben and the others again to see if he can get firsthand information!
