Qin Shilei's expression darkened. He turned and flew towards the outskirts of the city. "You stay here and hold the fort. I'll go take a look."
As he flew, he observed the Mountain River Map in his hand.
He noticed that the red and green dots were rapidly moving northward.
North of Lingquan City was the spatial realm of Qin An Wang's ally, the Zhengqi Alliance.
The Zhengqi Alliance had built a city called Zhengqi City nearby. Not only had they relocated most of their members there, but they had also gathered two to three hundred thousand evolvers.
The targets of these abyssal demons must be the humans in Zhengqi City.
Anthony was the least conspicuous among Andre's many children.
His cultivation was only at the peak Platinum level. In front of his diamond-level brothers and sisters, he was always the one being bullied.
By chance, he learned that his father's clone had suffered a setback in another world.
Under the guise of sharing his father's burden, he had since led his subordinates to guard near that spatial rift.
Now, the spatial rift had finally become more stable, allowing Platinum-level powerhouses like them to travel to that unknown world.
A new world not occupied by the abyss—what a delicious world this was!
His father's enemy?
That was just an insignificant human.
How could they compare to the intoxicating taste of delicious flesh and soul?
He was determined to seize this opportunity to successfully advance to the Diamond realm.
Furthermore, he would become the king of this world, wantonly devouring all living beings within it.
One day, Anthony's reputation would surely resound throughout the abyss due to this journey to another world.
As Anthony fantasized about a bright future, he led his subordinates forward, saliva involuntarily trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master, regarding the spatial rift, do we really not need to notify Lord Commander?"
A fire demon with a pair of horns on its head flew beside Anthony and asked in a gruzzly voice.
Anthony glared at the fire demon and said with a serious expression, "Now that the spatial rift has changed, we must investigate the situation immediately before reporting to my father."
The fire demon seemed worried. "Lord Commander's clone once perished in this world. I think it would be best for us subordinates to go ahead and confirm there are no dangers before you go, Young Master."
Anthony said with dissatisfaction, "For various reasons, my father's clone was only at the Silver realm, which led to the accident. According to my father, all humans in this world are extremely weak, lowly beings that we can devour at will. There's no need to be overly cautious."
As they spoke, this large group of demons had arrived near Zhengqi City.
The guards in the city also spotted them.
A shrill alarm instantly pierced the sky.
"Heh heh! My subordinates, it's time to feast. Enjoy yourselves to your heart's content!"
Anthony waved his hand and was the first to fly towards the city ahead.
Their demon numbers were less than ten thousand, but they were all masters at the Golden realm and above.
Chu Ye, the leader of the Zhengqi Alliance, had already summoned all members of the Zhengqi Alliance when he learned that the spatial rift would change today.
However, he did not have Qin Shilei's Mountain River Map and did not know which direction the enemy would come from.
He could only disperse his forces along the four city walls.
As a result, with dispersed forces facing this group of not-weak demons, they were instantly at a disadvantage.
Calls for help, wails, and maniacal laughter immediately echoed throughout the city walls and beyond.
Countless evolvers were slaughtered by the demons and then torn apart and devoured like food.
"Hahaha, I haven't tasted such delicious souls in a long time. What a wonderful world!"
"What succulent flesh, truly mouth-watering!"
"Stop struggling, and willingly become food for this demon."
Maniacal laughter from the demons echoed everywhere at the scene.
"Damn demons, stop this at once!"
Chu Ye finally led many experts to the rescue.
Instantly, dozens of Golden realm demons were killed by these experts.
"My subordinates, don't be in a hurry to enjoy the delicacies. First, kill these humans who dare to offend us, guests from the abyss!"
Under Anthony's command, many demons dropped the half-eaten humans in their hands and surrounded Chu Ye and the others.
The Zhengqi Alliance had thirty to forty Platinum-level experts.
The demons only had a little over ten Platinum-level experts.
On the surface, the Zhengqi Alliance seemed to have the advantage.
However, among the demons, not only was Anthony at the peak Platinum level, but his three personal bodyguards were also at the peak Platinum level.
The remaining Platinum-level experts were mid-level and high-level Platinum demons.
Furthermore, these demons employed all sorts of strange and unpredictable tactics. For a time, the Zhengqi Alliance was forced to retreat repeatedly.
The comparison of strength at the Golden realm was even more one-sided.
Within three minutes, the Zhengqi Alliance had lost three Platinum-level experts, and several others were injured.
"Alliance Leader, these demons are beyond our ability to resist. We should retreat quickly!" an elder shouted to Chu Ye.
Chu Ye parried a fire ball hurled by a fire demon with his sword, his face showing a hint of hesitation.
Finally, prioritizing the overall situation, he was about to issue a retreat order when he suddenly saw a figure rapidly flying towards them from afar.
Chu Ye's spirits lifted, and he shouted with righteous indignation, "We, the Zhengqi Alliance, are the masters of Zhengqi City. We will never abandon you. As your Alliance Leader, I, Chu Ye, will advance and retreat with you! All members of the Zhengqi Alliance, obey my command, fight to the death, and kill!"
"Incompetent humans, enjoy the fear from the abyssal demons!"
Anthony burst into arrogant laughter.
His expression was filled with disdain, but a hint of unease gnawed at him.
Weren't the humans his father spoke of all incredibly weak?
Why were the first humans he encountered able to fight his subordinates to a standstill?
It seemed he would indeed need his father's help to mobilize the abyssal demon army to conquer this world more effectively.
Just as Anthony had this thought, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching from afar.
He turned his head and saw a giant sword shadow descending from the sky.
Looking at the sword shadow, Anthony felt as if his soul had frozen.
That feeling was akin to facing his invincible father; he couldn't even muster the will to resist.
The only thing he was grateful for was that the sword shadow was not aimed at him, but at his subordinates, the fire demon, and several Platinum demons surrounding it.
With a flash of silver light, the fire demon and those few Platinum demons had no time to resist or escape before being cleaved in half by the sword.
The scene instantly fell silent.
Both the demons and the evolvers of the Zhengqi Alliance were stunned by this sword strike.
