Mosquitoes besieging a city, driving countless demon cultivators to abandon it and flee?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the powerhouses of the Heavenly Fox Palace couldn’t withstand a swarm of mosquitoes, even a Fairy was drained dry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of mosquitoes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they that formidable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man replied, “I’m not entirely sure either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only heard that the one commanding these mosquitoes is a black mosquito, larger than a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that’s just a rumor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked a few more queries, but he then let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of mosquito is this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Ziyun, have you ever heard of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord shook her head: “Although any living thing in this world can become a demon, a mosquito demon is not a particularly unique existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I have never heard of such a ferocious mosquito…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shall we go have a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Nalan is there, of course we have to go and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it said that she’s trapped?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s lend a hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen is now truly fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the presence of the super powerhouse, Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, but the Tower of Linglong is also available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is there to fear?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether we can win or not, the defense of the Linglong Tower is unbeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, I can escape into the Linglong Tower at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the Thunder Immortal Domain, I’m afraid there’s no one who can stop the escape of Linglong Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, what is there to worry about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were heading towards Cangyun City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they encountered many fleeing demon cultivators, as well as many commercial flying boats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessels were crowded with people, dragging families along, all were fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned, “Surely all those who could afford to leave by commercial boat are somewhat wealthy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poorest people, at the social base, would unlikely be able to afford a ride on a flying boat, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seems to me that most of them are members of the human race?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord nodded, “To awaken spiritual wisdom, to shape-shift, a demon cultivator must, in effect, reach our equivalent of the Nascent Soul Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon cultivators of this realm are obviously not going to be ordinary civilians, so all of the base population of any city belongs to the human race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The demon race rules the human race, treating the humans as their servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They make the humans build their cities, cultivate their land, produce their goods, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the demon race strictly controls the cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the cultivation resources, the human race will never be able to become powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if occasionally some of the humans do go against the grain, they are often either co-opted or annihilated by the demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are actually quite a lot of humans in the Heavenly Demon Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because they are suppressed, they never have a chance to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least on the Immortal Path, they have no way out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, after a moment of silence asked, “Are their lives safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It depends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord replied, “Each force ruling a city has a different attitude towards the human clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some only restrict their access to cultivation resources strictly, without controlling other things—they are no different from ordinary citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some, however, treat the humans as slaves, utterly disregarding their lives…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s about luck to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fate of the human race in the Heavenly Demon Continent, Lin Chen felt a bit of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even he was powerless to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is not a saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon afterwards, they arrived at Cangyun City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangyun City was a sprawling stronghold, but it was now caught in an eerily peculiar situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, the sky was blood-red, encasing Cangyun City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as they got closer, they realized with horrid shock that the sky—all bloody—was actually creeping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting even closer, they could clearly see that the bloody sky was formed by countless blood-red mosquitoes—a huge swath of red color undulating and dancing across the sky, blotting out the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While these mosquitoes are numerous, they’re not enough to trouble the demon cultivators, keeping them from escaping, are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord answered, “There’s definitely something strange about this swarm of mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most reliable course of action would naturally be to take refuge inside the Linglong Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chen wanted to see just how formidable these mosquitoes were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s enter the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden light shield appeared around the two, like a sphere, shielding them within and emanating a terrifying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They marched towards the swarm of mosquitoes in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lin Chen’s astonishment, such a formidable pressure could scare a tiger or lion into rolling away, shivering, yet these mosquitoes seemed to have no feeling at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something is strange!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pair approached the swirling swarm of mosquitoes, the mosquitoes naturally noticed these two uninvited intruders and swarmed towards them in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the mosquitoes swarmed around them, Lin Chen suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if someone was watching him with an evil gaze so wicked and venomous that it sent chills down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it the mosquito as big as a mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked left and right but could not see any mosquitoes as big as a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he saw were swarms of mosquitoes in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen examined the mosquitoes surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each mosquito was quite large, about the size of a fist, had a blood-red body, and glittered like metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked similar to ordinary mosquitoes, only bigger by hundreds, or even thousands of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen suddenly realized that the evil gaze seemed to come from right in front of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not emanating from any single mosquito, but from every single one, collectively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze of these mosquitoes was evil, filled with icy malice, as they coldly stared at Lin Chen much like sentient beings.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T01:52:20.520Z",1,"novelbin.me","240f1626b7927e36a6542a9c4ac1ae8ba7136ea2869900ca15dc60bca9e68981","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1921","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1919",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
