"What happened to startle me like that!"
Sui Xiaohang grumbled indignantly, picking up the wine glass for Wan Lei and preparing to pour more wine.
"Did something happen?"
Seeing Wan Lei's solemn expression, furrowed brows, and shocked eyes, Fang Xiaoyu immediately got up and asked with concern.
Wan Lei didn't answer her. Instead, he ran out of the door at great speed and came to the front of the hall.
In the rain, Wan Lei looked towards the southeast, his gaze seeming to penetrate the darkness and rain curtain, reaching tens of thousands of miles away.
Fang Xiaoyu followed him out.
"What is it? What happened?"
Old Fang stood at the entrance and asked loudly.
The commotion from Wan Lei's side naturally attracted the attention of the guests.
"The teleportation array has been activated!"
Wan Lei's expression was extremely serious.
"Teleportation array? What teleportation array..."
Old Fang exclaimed, suddenly raising his head, his eyes filled with utter shock.
"You're talking about the teleportation array in the desert?!"
"Teleportation array? What teleportation array?"
Sui Xiaohang and the others asked in confusion, looking at the expressions of Wan Lei and the Fang clan leader. They also sensed that something bad was about to happen.
"Yes, gather the army immediately and contact the other families.
This Leifeng Realm...
is about to change."
Wan Lei quickly formed hand seals, and a simple teleportation array soon appeared on the ground.
"I'll go scout the situation first. You quickly contact the Yin Yang Sect and the Kui Lian Sect. I'll transmit the situation there later."
"I'll go with you."
Fang Xiaoyu tugged at Wan Lei's sleeve.
Wan Lei did not object. The teleportation array beneath their feet flared, and their figures disappeared on the spot.
Rainy night,
Central Region,
Eastern part,
Desert.
The formation that had once sealed the Demon Marshal Qiong Shen was now emitting a brilliant light. A beam of light shot into the sky, and a dark hole appeared in the sky, like a gate from hell opening.
Beneath the formation, the Demon Marshal's wild laughter and chanting could be heard. His green blood flowed into the formation along the patterns, and then rushed into the sky along the beam of light.
Outside the formation, the guard force that originally numbered only a hundred people had become an army of tens of thousands.
These soldiers, each with profound cultivation and excellent equipment, wore solemn expressions as they surrounded the teleportation array, vigilantly observing the periphery.
Banners were also erected within the army.
On the banners was the ferocious character "Liu."
"Three Tribulation Crossing old monsters, a hundred Mahayana cultivators, and fifty thousand troops. The Liu family is well-prepared."
Fang Xiaoyu frowned and muttered to himself.
On a hillside far from the teleportation array, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were lying there, their bodies covered by an illusion formation.
Wan Lei held a jade slip in his hand, recording everything that was happening before his eyes and simultaneously transmitting it to the Fang clan leader, the Yin Yang Sect leader, and the Kui Lian Sect leader.
At the same time, this scene was also made public by the leaders of the three families and appeared in the sky above their sects.
Disciples of the three families looked up at the sky in shock, not knowing what had happened, but the sects had already ordered the army to assemble and prepare to march!
Waiting,
Wan Lei, the leaders of the three families, and the disciples of the three families,
were all waiting,
waiting for the moment the demons would appear, waiting for the moment to announce the Liu family's crimes to the world.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu lay on the ground motionless, like two statues.
The rain was still falling, and thunder rumbled in the sky, as if the will of the universe was wailing, accusing, and begging for help.
Finally, at midnight, a deafening roar came from the gaping hole in the sky that was propped open by the beam of light.
Wan Lei looked up and saw a giant steel fish emerge from the hole. The fish was entirely mechanical, exuding a terrifying aura, and opened its gaping maw, roaring downwards.
On its back were over a hundred demons with horns on their heads and a height of three Zhang.
Those demons flew down from the back of the fish and immediately spread out, standing guard on the periphery.
The leader among them was a Demon Marshal exuding a Tribulation Crossing aura.
The Demon Marshal approached Liu Naiweng and looked down at him.
Due to the distance, Wan Lei could not hear what they were saying.
He only saw that after a moment, the Demon Marshal, as if confirming there was no danger, beckoned upwards.
Immediately, lines of mechanical steel fish rushed down from the hole, each carrying over a hundred ugly demons on its back.
This scene shocked the disciples of the three families and the guests visiting the Fang family.
Those people immediately transmitted what they saw to their respective forces.
Qing Feng and Tao Dian also transmitted this scene to their rogue cultivator friends.
It wasn't just the two of them; every disciple of the three families had families and friends outside their sects, and they also transmitted this scene immediately.
The news spread across the entire Leifeng Continent at a speed faster than Wan Lei and Old Fang's previous exploits.
Earth-shattering!
The Liu family has rebelled!
Demonic invasion!
At the same time, the three families declared to the world that the Liu family was shameless, treacherous, and utterly wicked, selling out the Leifeng Realm and colluding with demons to invade!
The Leifeng Realm was in grave danger. This was a critical moment. The three families jointly issued a call to all cultivators in the world to resist the demons and destroy the Liu family!!!
At this moment, the entire Leifeng Realm was in extreme shock.
The demons were not unfamiliar to them. Nearly ten years ago, many rogue cultivators or their friends and relatives had gone to watch or participate in the Grand Competition of the Ten Thousand Prodigies.
On that day, everyone saw that as the two young individuals were about to have their final battle, a beam of light descended from the sky, bringing a race they had never seen before.
At the same time, they witnessed the strength and ambition of that race.
The tall, ugly giants who called themselves demons, upon arrival, declared their intention to take over and rule the Leifeng Realm, and to enslave all humans, making them serve the demons for generations.
The people of the Leifeng Realm did not know what race the demons were, nor where their stronghold was, but they knew that an external race was invading them.
People were so pure back then; seeing an external race invade, they immediately charged forward, regardless of how powerful the enemy was.
Back then, millions of people rushed forward, fighting the demons to the death.
Back then, the nine major powers all dispatched Tribulation Crossing experts to confront the demon powerhouses, desperately destroying the teleportation channel, preventing the Demon Lord from the Immortal Realm from appearing in the Leifeng Realm.
Back then, everyone worked together to save the Leifeng Realm from danger.
Back then, every fallen cultivator received compensation and was hailed as a hero.
Even the two young people who were in the most dangerous situation but did not forget to fight the demons were later awarded the title of hero with the highest merit.
Everyone knew that although it was a coincidence, without the two of them stalling for time, people would not have been able to resist the demons at that exact spot, giving the demons ample time to transport troops.
