Chapter 825: Chapter 826: Why Have You Returned

Angmu City, considered a major city of the Green Clan, with city walls all around, entirely made of Spirit Wood, clearly constructed using their clan’s innate abilities.

It doesn’t emit Spiritual Energy, but it’s incredibly sturdy, making it the best for defense.

In fact, this ability greatly impressed Lin Qian, as it allows for the construction of solid defenses in the shortest possible time, which is exceptionally remarkable.

Observing the traces on Angmu City from a distance, one can see that it has undergone a fierce battle, with many bloodstains even on the city walls.

What is truly astonishing, however, is that not a single corpse of the Green Clan can be seen.

Logically, having just experienced a battle not long ago, how could there be no corpses?

With the Green Clan girl revealing the truth, everyone finally understood, showing expressions of disgust.

It turns out all the corpses of the Green Clan were collected by the Evil Ghost Clan to be used as culinary ingredients. To speak of it, this ability of the Evil Ghost Clan was also quite astonishing to Lin Qian, just not used for the righteous path.

“Just a momentary indulgence; within the True Ghost Clan, there are already many strong great powers, renowned throughout the region. In contrast, the Evil Ghost Clan remains like a rat on the street, without significant achievements,” on the other side, Lan Yunfeng spoke with disdain.

He was quite familiar with the True Ghost Clan, as he had a servant from the True Ghost Clan under his command.

At this moment, the gates of Angmu City were wide open, with no Array barriers flowing, as the city had just been breached.

Evidently, the Evil Ghost Clan of the Ghost King Army had not long since breached the city and hadn’t had time to solidify the city’s defenses.

“Let’s go, let’s see what abilities this Evil Ghost Clan possesses.” Looking at Angmu City ahead, Lin Qian spoke, while reminding everyone, “Even a lion and tiger must use full strength when fighting a rabbit. Do not underestimate the strength of your opponents, lest you become overconfident. Even with playful enemies, maintain respect in your heart, to avoid an unforeseen mishap.”

As soon as Lin Qian said this, Kuang Zhan began to laugh, “Your Highness, I’ve heard from the consort that you once encountered something very amusing while facing an enemy. You promised you wouldn’t use all your strength against them; is that true?”

“It was a special situation. If an enemy you can slap to death stands before you, is there any need to use all your might?” Lin Qian replied with a wry smile, “Right now, we do not know the true strength of the enemies in front of us, their numbers or realms. Exercising caution is never a bad idea.”

After listening to Lin Qian, everyone’s spirits were heightened, and they stood ready with utmost vigilance.

Everyone spread their Soul Consciousness, constantly observing their surroundings, gathering around Lin Qian, slowly approaching Angmu City.

On the walls of Angmu City, there were no Evil Ghost Clan sentinels, allowing Lin Qian and his companions to infiltrate it effortlessly.

After entering the city, Lin Qian and the others realized why there were no traces of the Evil Ghost Clan on the city walls.

Inside the city, a large number of Evil Ghost Clan members were looting and plundering, enthusiastically engaged, laughing wildly, pulling Green Clan people out of various buildings, dragging them from houses, laughing uproariously.

Watching this scene, Lin Qian and his party’s eyebrows twitched wildly, and murderous intent surged.

Liu Qingqing, staying beside Ye Xin, covered her mouth in tears, unable to bear the sight of the tragedy before her.

Ye Xin cradled Liu Qingqing softly in her arms, gently stroking her back, a pair of phoenix eyes turning ice cold, extremely chilling.

“Kill!”

Following closely, Lin Qian’s icy voice suddenly spread out, as the members of the Huaxia Alliance were already burning with anger, eager to rush forward.

In front of a house, an Evil Ghost Clan member was dragging two Green Clan girls, sneering.

But at this moment, a faint sword light appeared, and before he could even see clearly, he discovered his arms were severed.

As this Evil Ghost Clan member turned back, he clearly saw that not far away, a Human Clan man was coming, face ice-cold, straight towards him.

All over him, red-gold lightning coiled and crackled as he strolled leisurely towards him.

Behind him, many fellow clans lay lifeless, charred, and beside him a peerless beauty wielded a sword condensed from Soul Energy, gazing icily in his direction.

Crack!

The thunder roared, and the Evil Ghost Clan member was instantly struck into a pile of char, falling to the ground.

The two Green Clan girls, sitting on the ground, looked at the man and woman as if in a dream.

After surviving the ordeal, neither of them was able to immediately come to their senses.

Lin Qian and Ye Xin continued to stride forward, each step causing more Evil Ghost Clan members to fall around them.

It appeared as if the two were strolling casually in the city, yet each step crossed extreme distances, heading towards the City Lord Mansion.

Not only them, but other top individuals of the Huaxia Alliance were advancing from different directions towards the City Lord Mansion, moving swiftly. Along the way, no overwhelming force was needed, and they easily dispatched the Evil Ghost Clan members.

The reason the Evil Ghost Clan could ravage Green Star unopposed was evident.

Their Realm involved many at the Qi Refining Realm, significantly stronger than the Green Clan.

But in front of these true geniuses from the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, they were nothing but laughable ants, easily slain.

The houses of the Green Clan, also built from Spirit Wood, bore their unique style.

Within the City Lord Mansion, there were many notable presences, and on the plaza inside, a Green Clan man was bound in mid-air, covered in scars.

In front of him, a young Evil Ghost Clan member sat in the high seat, calmly watching the Evil Ghost Clan member hanging in the air, with a mocking smile on his face, “Old thing; soon enough, your daughter will be captured. Thinking she can escape is just delusional. She’s fortunate that this young master has his eyes on her!”

“Pah!” the bound Green Clan man spat disdainfully, “Eyeing this so-called Evil Ghost Clan young master, your clan wreaks havoc, destroying my clan’s home. This vendetta is irreconcilable. Even in death, I will never let you off. I have already advised Qingqing; if she cannot escape, she will self-immolate rather than let you succeed.”

The young master of the Evil Ghost Clan glared at the bound Green Clan man, his expression darkened, “Wretch, if it comes to that, I will ensure you wish for death but will not find it.”

But just then, a figure suddenly rushed out, standing at the door, shouting in alarm, “Father!”

The Angmu City Lord, bound and hanging, was startled by the shout. Turning his head, he saw his daughter Liu Qingqing standing at the doors of the courtyard.

“You… how did you come back?”
