Chapter 466: Ancient Corpse Enters the Capital City
[Mission: The Sky is Dead 3]
[Mission Details: Head to the Heavenly Prison and rescue the Nie family’s bloodline]
Looking at the mission details in his field of vision, Li Muyang gently exhaled a murky breath.
Because of his insistence, Tang Mengchen had altered the plan temporarily.
He had moved the rescue operation from tomorrow to tonight.
Under the cover of night in the Capital City, a sinister and eerie fog permeated the air, and the streets were deserted except for the occasional appearance of patrolling soldiers.
At this moment, a little girl disguised as a skin-painting demon stood within a courtyard, not far from the Heavenly Prison.
And the Nie brothers were detained inside the Heavenly Prison.
Gathered in the courtyard were the rebel spies dormant within the Capital City, totaling twenty-three people, all of whom were highly skilled martial artist cultivators.
Among them, three had received guidance from General Rushing Sky and possessed combat capabilities far beyond ordinary people.
Now, everyone gathered in the courtyard, listening confusedly as Tang Mengchen explained the hastening of the operation, along with the horrifying news that tomorrow at noon the Emperor would turn the entire city’s populace into demons.
Everyone was in disbelief.
"...Even if the Emperor is powerful, how could he have such an immense power?"
"Turning a million people into monsters at once, even if there is such sorcery, is there anyone in the world capable of executing it? Even the legendary Master Qingye wouldn’t have such great power."
Everyone doubted the news brought by Tang Mengchen.
But Tang Mengchen silenced everyone with just one sentence.
"This was said by the Nameless Reverend."
Li Muyang was right there, but Tang Mengchen didn’t mention his presence and said, "I have received a warning from a reliable source, from Nameless Reverend, that tomorrow’s Capital City will be extremely dangerous; the Emperor intends to employ sorcery to turn the city’s residents into demons."
"The Reverend warns all beings in the city to escape before noon tomorrow."
Mentioning the legendary Nameless, the crowd in the courtyard immediately fell silent.
Moreover, as Tang Mengchen was already designated as their leader by General Rushing Sky, the crowd believed most of what he said.
"Okay then, we act tonight."
"Although it’s a bit more troublesome doing it at night, we have no other choice."
"But will such a thing truly happen tomorrow in the Capital City? From where does that dog Emperor get the power to turn the whole city’s living people into demons..."
The crowd discussed among themselves, whispering secretly.
However, the operation started quickly.
Nie Yubing was also introduced to everyone there.
Subsequently, under the cover of night, everyone headed toward the Heavenly Prison.
So, could the attempt to prevent the Temple-Sealing Lord’s body from being brought into the palace, thereby stopping this scenario, be feasible?
Li Muyang pondered for a moment, then quickly dismissed the idea.
The group of monsters trying to steal the body up north were formidable and fierce, having forced the powerful Bodhi Reverend from the North Land into a corner.
With just the modest strength of the rebels inside Capital City, attempting to stop the group of monsters from delivering the Temple-Sealing Lord’s body to the imperial palace was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Let alone stopping them; they needed to escape the city quickly while those monsters were still far away.
Otherwise, if those monsters really came after them, with the group’s current level of martial prowess, survival was impossible.
Li Muyang had Nie Yubing urge everyone to flee, retreating as they fought through the ominous fog in Capital City.
The rebels, since they planned on a rescue, naturally prepared well in advance and arranged an escape route.
They fought and moved along, reaching a dark alley and jumping directly into a tunnel that had been dug in advance.
Escaping continuously along the tunnel, they soon arrived at a quiet courtyard.
In this quiet and empty courtyard, everyone quickly changed their clothes and each pasted a talisman smeared with fresh blood on themselves.
After the blood talisman was applied, their forms began to shake, and they directly burrowed into the ground.
Thus, using these blood-smeared talismans, the group quickly fled Capital City and reached the wilderness.
Behind them, Capital City was enveloped in eerie fog and flaring flames.
The raid on the sky prison had thrown much of Capital City into chaos.
Not only had they rescued the two young masters of the Nie residence, but they had also freed other prisoners from the sky prison.
These prisoners included some martial artists with strong combat abilities who were desperately fighting for survival throughout the city.
Add to that the weak defenses and shortage of Qianwu Guards in the city that night, flames soared and chaos reigned throughout Capital City.
Li Muyang and the others arrived in the wilderness and took a moment to catch their breath.
The blood talismans used for burrowing had consumed the fresh blood essence of the group.
Although they had escaped Capital City by burrowing underground, everyone was utterly exhausted.
Tang Mengchen sat on the ground and rested for a while before finally standing up, gasping for breath.
"Everyone, we need to keep moving. We can’t stay here."
Tang Mengchen urged everyone to get up.
But just as she finished speaking, two terrifying, dense clouds of monstrosity suddenly flew from behind them in Capital City.
Two powerful demons flew across the night sky, landing directly in front of the group.
A long red health bar unfolded in Li Muyang’s view.
BOSS battle, begin!
