Chapter 1222 The Martial Might Hall is Destroyed, the Loyal and Brave General
"Bang~!"
The terrifying power of the three-colored divine light finally exploded completely, instantly destroying the top floor of the Wuwei Hall. The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Wuwei City.
"What happened?"
"The Wuwei Hall... the Wuwei Hall has collapsed!"
"Damn it, the three-colored divine light! Those are the three great divine powers! Someone is trying to steal the core of the Holy Light!"
"Where is the city lord? Where did the city lord go?"
"..."
In an instant, Wuwei City, which had just restored order after blocking the demon army, was plunged into chaos by this sudden change.
They were at a loss and terrified.
Since the core of the Holy Light was reinforced at the beginning of the year, the Wuwei Hall has existed and has become the core building protecting the Holy Light. However, this Wuwei Hall, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, has now collapsed.
This brought boundless fear to the common people who had always lived in Wuwei City.
"That's... the core of Holy Light?!"
Just then, someone shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Their hearts sank. On the ruins of the collapsed Wuwei Hall, a white flower, like a daisy, was blooming all alone.
boom!
At that moment, a feeling of terror instantly swept over everyone.
"Why was the core of the Holy Light exposed so easily?"
"Shouldn't it be protected by Senior Sui's methods? If it's exposed like this, doesn't it mean that the Holy Light Core of our Wuwei City will lose its eternity and begin to have a limited lifespan?"
"It's over, we're all doomed!"
"The Twelve Cities of Ziwei will be rewritten in the future!"
"..."
The cries of agony echoed throughout, making everyone feel as if the sky had fallen.
However, amidst the chaos, several figures dressed in purple robes flew out from all directions without hesitation, rushing towards the small white flower like sharp arrows.
They had a clear goal and did not hesitate at all, which clearly showed that they were already prepared.
"Protect the Holy Light!"
"Who are you?!"
"stop!"
Fortunately, seeing the actions of the group, the soldiers in the city also recovered from their shock and immediately sprang into action. Several generals even arrived first and intercepted the first few figures who rushed out.
As soon as the fighting began, one of the generals immediately realized something was wrong:
"These people are not from Wuwei City, but spies from other cities. Take action immediately and capture them!"
"Someone is plotting to seize the core of the Holy Light in my Wuwei City. Why don't you take action now? Do you all want to wait to die?"
"Kill these scoundrels!"
Shouts of battle echoed across the battlefield as more and more people joined the fray, doing everything in their power to intercept the few powerful figures clad in purple robes.
No one dared to be complacent at this moment. The Holy Light Core, now deprived of protection, was extremely vulnerable. If it were taken away, the entire Wuwei City would be without the protection of the Holy Light, and 99% of the people in the city would not live to see tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, there were many experts in the city. Even though those purple-robed experts risked everything, they still fell beside the ruins in the end.
But soon, everyone discovered the problem.
Some of the experts who had previously claimed to be coming to help were also taking the opportunity to charge towards the core of the Holy Light. Clearly, it wasn't just those few purple-robed experts who had appeared on the surface who wanted to steal the Holy Light.
The battle was about to break out again, but because Duke Wuwei was not present, the scene immediately descended into chaos.
On several occasions, people almost caught the little white flower.
"Everyone, stop immediately!"
"Stay at least a hundred feet away from the Martial Might Hall and cease fighting, or you will be considered a spy and executed without mercy!"
At the critical moment, a loud voice rang out, calming the chaotic scene somewhat. It belonged to a general with a square face and an exceptionally robust physique. His armor was stained with the blood of a demon, and he held a spear that resembled a towering mountain.
The appearance of this person instantly gave hope to the city.
"It is the loyal and brave General!"
"Excellent! With the General in charge, everyone will listen to the General!"
"Back off, everyone back off!"
"Those who do not retreat at this moment must be those who harbor ill intentions towards Holy Light. Kill them all!"
The scene was chaotic.
Finally, under the organization of this loyal and brave general, the situation was brought to a stop.
He stood alone half a zhang away from the Holy Light, and then quickly mobilized his troops. One by one, he called out his elite subordinates, who appeared with their backs to the general, holding weapons, forming a protective circle ten zhang away from the core of the Holy Light.
Until this time.
Many talents finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The expressions of Fang Suming and the other young masters in the crowd finally eased a little, but they were still somewhat shaken:
"This is terrifying. What on earth happened in Wuwei City? Why did so many things all come together at once?"
"The evil demons are attacking the city, the core has been exposed, and Senior Sui has been reborn. What exactly is going on?"
"Where is Duke Wuwei? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Could it be that the three-colored divine light just now..."
"Damn it, the Holy Light Core of Wuwei City has been exposed just like that. Does that mean the Holy Light Core can no longer exist forever? We have to leave tonight, we have to leave Wuwei City immediately tonight. We absolutely cannot stay in this place!"
"..."
The young masters were all stunned; this was completely unexpected by almost everyone. They had come representing their respective cities and families, simply to help their factions and try to gain the allegiance of Wuwei City.
But unexpectedly, so many changes occurred.
We had agreed to enter the Gray Mist to seize the Ominous Source Fruit, and we were all set to set off early tomorrow morning. But now, first the Ominous Demons attacked the city, then Wuwei City was in chaos, and now even the Holy Light Core is no longer protected.
It's simply unbelievable.
After everyone had managed to maintain order, the loyal and valiant general finally spoke:
"There are spies in Wuwei City. It is suspected that Haoyu has invaded and bewitched Fei Boyuan, the former city lord's heir. They intend to destroy Wuwei City and even plot to kill the Duke of Wuwei and steal the Holy Light of Wuwei City!"
"A curfew will be imposed throughout the city starting today!"
"Except for the Imperial Guards, all soldiers must immediately return to their respective camps and wipe out the remaining evil demons!"
"..."
The military orders were issued one after another, once again causing many people to gasp in surprise.
Haoyu Invasion!
The Duke of Wuwei is dead!
Moreover, it was in collusion with the former heir of Wuwei City!
Each and every one of these events was a major event, like a bolt from the blue. Fortunately, the loyal and brave general remained calm and composed. With the issuance of military orders, the city was revitalized. Various city defense troops were deployed, and civilians were placed under military control.
When faced with sudden changes, the loyal and brave general is like the backbone of everyone, making people subconsciously obey his orders, but also causing everyone to subconsciously forget.
Why was the loyal and brave general able to analyze the situation so quickly?
He even knew so clearly that Fei Boyuan and Hao Yu had conspired to kill Duke Wuwei.
Unfortunately, there were no demigods of the eighth level of the Divine Path in the city at this moment, otherwise they would have discovered that as the Loyal and Brave General issued his military orders, a figure emitting black smoke and resembling a shadow stood beside him.
"My lord, are you... satisfied?" Seeing everyone busy, and that he was the only one closest to the core of the Holy Light, the loyal and brave general asked the person beside him in a low voice.
It seemed as if there was a reply, but outsiders could not discern it. Only the loyal and valiant general hesitated, saying, "Taking the core of Holy Light now... I'm afraid it won't be easy to escape..."
But soon, the loyal and brave general hurriedly added, "Your subordinate has confidence in your abilities, sir. Your subordinate will take care of it right away!"
Say it.
The loyal and brave general nodded to his trusted men who were guarding him within a ten-zhang radius. After watching the several armies that he feared withdraw, the loyal and brave general turned around, bent down, and reached out to grab the small white flower.
He kept glancing around out of the corner of his eye, afraid that someone might suddenly come to stop him.
Fortunately.
Amidst these ruins, besides a pile of broken tiles and bricks, only a shard of broken porcelain lay quietly to one side.
Huh?
Porcelain shards?
The loyal and brave general felt a little suspicious, sensing that something was not right. As a powerful figure in the city, second only to the emperor, he was quite familiar with the Wuwei Hall, but he couldn't remember having any porcelain fragments there.
"Perhaps it's a fragment of the Ghostly Sphere?"
After pondering for a moment, the loyal and brave general simply ignored the broken porcelain shards and turned his gaze to the core of holy light that made his eyes burn and his breathing quicken.
As long as we get our hands on this thing.
He will then be able to escape the shadows before him and truly embrace the light!
However, just as his hand was about to touch the small white flower, a sword's edge suddenly and unexpectedly pierced out from the broken piece of porcelain!
As a seventh-level Divine Path expert, General Zhongyong's strength was beyond doubt. The moment he noticed the sword light, he instinctively tried to dodge.
Just a pity.
His reaction was swift, but since he had his attention entirely focused on the core of the Holy Light, even the fastest reaction was no match for the sword that was about to strike. He only had time to quickly step to the side to dodge.
But that sword light.
Yet it still pierced his heart with precision.
"The name of loyalty and bravery does not seem to suit you."
