Chapter 1098: Super-Large Forbidden Array (Second update, requesting everything)

"His Majesty the King!"

The City Lord of Luo City, Qin Fangxin, was currently guarding outside the Teleportation Array; ever since receiving the news that Li Zhangsheng was coming, he had been waiting here.

Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, Qin Fangxin knelt on one knee, his expression filled with reverence.

"City Lord Qin, long time no see!"

Li Zhangsheng sized up Qin Fangxin and discovered that he was still at the level of a Fifth-tier Beastmaster.

Qin Fangxin could not help but feel a wave of emotion; two years ago, when he first met Li Zhangsheng, the other party was still a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, yet who would have thought that two years later, Li Zhangsheng had already become a King, while he was still marking time.

"City Lord Qin, how is the evacuation of the citizens going?"

A few days ago, Li Zhangsheng had Shi Da and Qin Fangxin make contact, instructing Qin Fangxin to mobilize the citizens of Luo City to take refuge in nearby cities, because Luo City would become the main battlefield to resist the invasion of the Silent Forest.

"Everything is already prepared; at this moment, only about a hundred Royal Beast Masters remain in Luo City."

Qin Fangxin hurriedly replied; ever since receiving Li Zhangsheng's decree, although his heart was filled with doubts, he had still done his utmost to relocate the citizens of Luo City.

Li Zhangsheng did not feel surprised; in this world, relocating citizens was simply not difficult at all. A large flying Demon Pet alone could relocate dozens or hundreds of people in one round trip, not to mention super-large ones; if the Dragon Horse Hall were used, one could even relocate thousands of people at once.

Moreover, Luo City was a small city with a population of just over one hundred thousand; as long as the hundred Royal Beast Masters stationed in Luo City worked together, it was enough to relocate all the citizens of Luo City within a few days.

Of course, relocation was only one aspect, and resettlement was another; regarding this point, Li Zhangsheng had also made proper arrangements as much as possible, including tax reductions, resettlement fees, and various other compensations; in short, he would not let them suffer any grievances.

"Well done. These three Bloodline Potions are your reward; the other personnel have other rewards!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and three Bloodline Potions hovered in front of Qin Fangxin.

After all, they were old acquaintances, and he was the descendant of the Flame King Qin Mingqing; plus, Qin Fangxin was a decent person, so Li Zhangsheng did not mind giving him a hand.

Qin Fangxin had heard of Bloodline Potions; this kind of potion could significantly increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Lord-rank, and he had always been envious of it. Who would have thought that Li Zhangsheng would bestow three upon him in one go.

"Many thanks to His Majesty for the generous reward!"

After being stunned for a moment, Qin Fangxin hurriedly thanked him.

"Alright, you and your subordinates may leave. Remember not to reveal my whereabouts."

"This subordinate obeys!"

Although his heart was filled with doubts, Qin Fangxin did not dare to ask more; he just had to follow orders. He believed he would have the answer soon.

Not long after, Qin Fangxin led his subordinates and flew away from Luo City at high speed.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng emerge from his hiding spot, hovering above Luo City, his vast Mental Power released to quickly scan the surrounding scene.

It took a little time for Li Zhangsheng to search the entire Luo City thoroughly.

Qin Fangxin had done his work conscientiously; apart from a few people hiding in secret cellars, there was no one else in the entire Luo City.

Judging from the words and actions of these few people, they were likely opportunists or had ulterior motives.

Of course, one could not rule out those who did not want to leave their hometown, but the probability was minimal; after all, after this great battle, those relocated citizens would return to Luo City.

Li Zhangsheng casually hypnotized them and hid them deep underground in the City Lord Mansion, planning to hand them over to specialists for interrogation after the great battle.

After confirming there was no one else in Luo City, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen began to walk around Luo City, occasionally tossing out some materials and carving a large number of patterns, lines, and runes, focusing on setting them up.

Li Zhangsheng was preparing to set up a Large Forbidden Array, with a scope encompassing the entire Luo City.

Luo City was not large, but it was not small either, so the materials consumed for the setup could be imagined; this was only because it was Li Zhangsheng—if it were any other large force in the Langya Kingdom, it would definitely be a heavy blow to their foundations.

In less than a day, the two completed the setup, and all the patterns, lines, and runes slowly disappeared.

After leaving Ning Bizhen in Luo City, Li Zhangsheng came to the outskirts of Luo City and set up a Plane Teleportation Array in a hidden valley to serve as a backup.

After everything was ready, the next step was to wait.

It was not that Li Zhangsheng did not want to sneak into the Silent Forest; it was just that the perception of the Tengshe Abaresk was too keen. Once a King entered, he feared it would be immediately detected.

And a Pseudo-King was likely not taken seriously by Abaresk; besides, it was preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the Langya Kingdom, so how would it have the time to bother with a few Pseudo-Kings?

Even so, Abaresk might not ignore a few Pseudo-Kings, but as long as Abaresk took action, Li Zhangsheng would receive news from Xierdiweng and could launch a rescue at the first opportunity.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out a square plate, on which five small dots were flickering, distributed in different positions.

These five small dots represented Li Haoqiong and the other four; they carried items closely linked to this square plate, which was why they appeared on it.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen sat cross-legged on the city wall, beginning to adjust their states to the best level.

Time passed slowly, and this wait lasted for half a day.

As the Sun was about to set, the Silent Forest showed huge movements; even from a distance of over a hundred miles, Li Zhangsheng could vaguely feel a powerful aura.

Clearly, in the entire Silent Forest, only the Tengshe Abaresk had such might.

Ning Bizhen, who was at his side, said, "It seems they succeeded!"

The "they" in Ning Bizhen's mouth naturally referred to Li Haoqiong and the others. This time, Li Zhangsheng sent them to risk entering the Silent Forest not only to weaken the enemy's effective strength but also to lure the enemy to Luo City.

Before entering the Silent Forest, in order to avoid being too large a target, Li Haoqiong and the others dispersed a long distance from each other, entering the Silent Forest from different locations; if an accident occurred, it could still give the others a certain buffer time.

Li Zhangsheng took out the vibrating Golden Conch; this Golden Conch was a replica of the Mother-Child Golden Conch, and the Mother Conch of the Mother-Child Golden Conch was temporarily given to Li Haoqiong, allowing him to contact the Horned Dragon Xierdion at any time.

After connecting the call, Li Zhangsheng asked, "Second Uncle, how is it?"

"Everything is going smoothly. We wiped out seven Demon King-level Spirit Beasts in one go and are currently rushing to Luo City at full speed."

Li Haoqiong's voice rang out, but the next moment, his voice was clearly filled with gravity, and he hurriedly said, "A Demon Saint-level Spirit Beast is approaching rapidly. Its speed is extremely fast; I fear it will catch up to us within three minutes."

"You continue to return to Luo City; I am going to support you now."

Li Zhangsheng did not cut off the call, and together with Ning Bizhen, he mounted Aixi; a golden rainbow suddenly appeared, rushing toward the Silent Forest at an unimaginable speed.
