Chapter One Hundred and Ten: Demon Attack
way.Right now, Dan Sheng's attention is not on the failure of alchemy.> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!The bell just rang, piercing through my very soul. Could it be tha...Prepare for war!
Nie Xu clenched his fists tightly within the folds of his sleeves.
He could imagine what would happen if the barbarians marched straight into the Dahuang Mansion. Jin City would be in chaos.
After anger.
Nie Xu also calmed down: "Why hasn't the court responded to this matter Even when the barbarians captured Ningshan City, we only learned about it afterward."
"Master Nie, you may not know this yet, but two days ago, demonic beasts launched a large-scale attack on the Dahuang Mansion. Many places saw terrifying creatures of the Sha level appear, causing considerable havoc."
The majority of the Imperial Court's power in Da Huang Prefecture is focused on suppressing demonic disasters.
The Three Great Demon-Subduing Sentries, also a gathering of the strongest warriors, ultimately gave the barbarians an opportunity to exploit.
Chu Ding's expression was cold and stern, but his words caused Nie Xu's face to change again. "To be honest,"
He didn't get these messages at all.
If it hadn't been for Chu Ding speaking up, Nie Xu wouldn't have known that the situation in Dahuang Mansion had fallen into such a chaotic state.
A moment later.
Nie Xu's mind flashed with inspiration, then his face turned pale.
“When demons and evil spirits launched a massive attack, the barbarians also coincidentally launched a large-scale offensive. Could there be some connection between the two!”
He thought of a terrible thing.
That means the barbarians have teamed up with demons, doesn't it
If that's the case, then the problem is serious.
After all, a single demonic force alone was enough to make the Qin Dynasty burn with worry. The barbarians were also a considerable threat in their usual state, but compared to demons, they posed less of a danger.
However.
If the two were to join forces, it would be a major disaster for Qin.
"Very likely!"
>
Chu Ding nodded slightly, agreeing with Nie Xu's guess.

Hearing this.
Nie Xu looked at him: "General Chu, this official proposes that the Black Tiger Army be stationed in the city. Now that the barbarian tribe has breached Ning Shan City, the Great Desolation Prefecture and the Central Plains Kingdom are far apart. In a short time, it is unlikely that the capital can make a reasonable deployment."
Right now, all we can do is to save ourselves.
Though Jincheng is not a major city, it's still quite large. Its walls are high and strong, and the Black Tiger Army defends them. As long as the invading force isn't overwhelmingly large, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
When there was nothing to do, the Black Tiger Army would station themselves outside the city to avoid disturbing the people.
More than 10,000 Black Tiger Army soldiers also need a wide area for daily training.
It's easy to house twelve thousand Black Tiger soldiers within Jin City, but finding a suitable training ground for them is impossible.
This is also why the Black Tiger Army would be stationed outside the city.
But things are different now.
The barbarian army, who knows when it will arrive at the gates of Jin City. Only by entering the city for defense can we hope to resist the barbarians' offensive.
That is it.
Chu Ding also did not refuse.
Soon, the horn sounded.
All soldiers who slept in tents were to assemble as quickly as possible and, led by Chu Ding, march in a grand procession toward Jin City.
On the other side.
Nie Xu also returned to the yamen.
The news he got from Chu Ding today left him unsettled.
“Ning Shan City has fallen, and the Qin army’s casualties must be considerable. Now, there are demonic disturbances within the Great Wilderness Mansion, cooperating with the barbarians both inside and outside. It can be said that it is a time of great upheaval!”
In the study, Nie Xu sighed.
Amidst the wind and rain!
Once the Dahuang Mansion is captured by barbarians, the entire Qin Dynasty will be affected.
Don't look at Dahua Prefecture as just a prefecture on the border of Qin, with no rich resources. Its geographical location is extremely important.
As long as the barbarians occupy Dahuang Mansion, they will have the qualifications to threaten the Central Plains.

That was the time.
This is equivalent to a sword being placed directly at the neck of the Qin Dynasty. As long as the long blade swings, the Qin Dynasty could potentially have its several hundred years of foundation broken.
Discard all distracting thoughts.
Nie Xu's gaze fell on the blank sheet of paper spread out on the table. He ground his inkstone, picked up his brush, and began to write an article.
That was his favorite thing to do in his daily life.
Whenever something happens that causes me to feel troubled, I write articles to calm myself down.
Gradually.
Nie Xu's mind was completely immersed in the article before him. He wielded his brush with vigor, the characters dancing like dragons and snakes. Although they seemed messy, there was a unique feeling to them.
Whew!
A gale roared, echoing through the silent night sky, like the wails of tormented spirits.
The plaque above the government office creaked in the wind, threatening to fall at any moment.
Bang—
The plaque fell off and shattered into pieces on the ground.
A considerable commotion instantly caught the attention of the guards stationed within the yamen.
"What happened!"
"Just now, for no reason at all, a sudden gust of wind blew up and knocked the plaque down, shattering it."
Several yamen officers looked at the fallen plaque, their faces not looking too good.
Especially that inexplicable wind, and the now shattered plaque, made them feel that something was unusual.
Suddenly.
Liu Jian immediately said: "Clean up all the broken plaques, and wait until tomorrow to report to the superior before finding a craftsman to make a new one."

The others continued to patrol the yamen, and any abnormalities should be reported immediately.
"Good!"
A few remaining guards nodded.
Immediately, someone picked up the broken plaque from the ground and carried it outside the government office to discard it.
Oooooh!
Just like the sound of a woman weeping, it rang out beside the two officers' ears.
"Who is it!"
"Who's making a mess here!"
The two guards trembled, looking around nervously.
Above the entrance of the government office, two lanterns were hung, dispelling some of the darkness.
In the dim light, two guards saw a woman with long hair crouching beside the stone lion on the left. Her head was buried deep in her knees, and the sobs came from there.
When they saw the woman, the two guards were startled again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But soon.
When the two put down their minds, they let go of some things.
From the woman's back, her long black hair cascaded down her back. She was wearing a plain-colored long dress. Just from the back view alone, one could tell that the woman must be a graceful beauty.
"Lao Zhou, why don't you go take a look at the situation"
A guard nudged his colleague with his elbow, and swallowed involuntarily.
Having heard this.
Lao Zhou also shifted a little, but he didn't move his feet.
"Old Wu, this isn't right. A woman crying here in the dead of night doesn't seem normal at all. Shouldn't we go back"
>
Although from the back, she is a beautiful woman.
Especially at night when it's quiet, a woman appearing here alone would certainly stir up some excitement.
However.

He could also understand that something unexpected had happened, and there must be something unusual about it.
Especially the recent incident in Jincheng where demons wreaked havoc, is truly frightening.
Hearing this, the yamen official named Lao Wu also showed a hesitant expression.
But before long, he was shaking his head.
The City Guard Lord heard that the Demon Suppression Division had wiped out all the demons and monsters in Jin City. Also, a woman came to the yamen late at night and cried, perhaps she was suffering from some injustice. As officials of the yamen, how could we possibly ignore it
Speaking of this.

Old Wu chuckled, first tossing the plaque fragment in his hand near the government office. Then, he walked up behind the woman.
When he truly stepped in, he could clearly see how alluring the woman's back was, and a faint yet distinct fragrance made him unable to resist being captivated by it.
for a moment.

Lao Wu felt a little itchy.
But he also had a professional code of conduct. He didn't act like a thug and run amok, but instead quietly asked a question.
"A young lady is crying here in the middle of the night. I wonder what happened"
That being said.
The woman just cried, without making any response.
Seeing this, Old Wu laughed again: "Miss, you can rest assured. I'm a government official. Lord Nie is well-known in Jin City for his fairness. If you have any grievances, just speak up, and the government will definitely do justice for you!"
The woman's crying subsided.
Then a gentle voice, soft and intermittent, came out.
“I…I…”
The voice was soft and low, and mixed with the sobs from crying for so long, that Lao Wu couldn't quite make it out.
He couldn't help but lean closer, almost touching the woman's hair. The faint scent became much stronger in an instant, and within that rich fragrance, there seemed to be a strange mix of other odors as well.
This is the time.
Lao Wu finally heard the woman's words.
“I—dead—how miserable!”
This voice, which should have been gentle, at some point became eerily cold and piercing. Hearing it made one's heart feel like it was being gripped by a giant hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.

This is the time.
>
The woman turned her head and looked at Lao Wu, whose face was pale with fright.
In the light of the official's office doorway, a rotting, maggot-infested face was clearly reflected. The strange smell mixed with the fragrance suddenly turned into a wave of foul stench.
At that moment.
Old Wu was as cold as ice.
"Lao Wu, what happened"
From a distance, Lao Zhou saw Lao Wu standing there motionless, wondering what he was doing. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity.
Because they weren't very far apart, and it was night.
He was also unable to make out the woman's face.

Suddenly.
Lao Wu's body trembled. A cold and cruel hand passed straight through his back, pulling out a crimson, beating heart into the air. Then, the hand grabbed the heart and retreated, Lao Wu's body collapsing to the ground as if it had lost all support.

At that moment.
Lao Zhou's pupils constricted sharply, his vision clearer than ever before.
In his line of sight, Old Wu had already died with wide eyes, a large gash on his chest, and a lot of blood gushing out from it.
On the other side.
A decaying, maggot-infested face was gnawing on a heart, crimson blood splattering everywhere, so eye-catching.
"Demons, evil spirits have killed someone!"
Old Zhou shouted crazily and scrambled toward the yamen.
However.
Before he could even step into the yamen, a crimson hand pierced him. A sharp pain surged through him. Lao Zhou looked down and saw a hand protruding from his chest.
And in his palm, he clutched a bloody animal carcass.
He knew.
That is one's own heart.

In a short while, Lao Zhou lost consciousness completely.es of humanity, his power fully recovered to its peak. Under his control, the power of the Heavenly Dao Seal was fully unleashed, and within moments, the sacred treasures of Yimiao Palace were severel...
