Chapter 1437: Chapter 1433: Magical Beast Attack Chapter 1437: Chapter 1433: Magical Beast Attack The Blue-haired Lion King and Immortal Bingbing rose from their seats almost at the same time and explained, “Friend Cheng, I assure you, this is definitely not the doing of Lion Camel Ridge.”

“Nor is it from Pansi Cave. Since I emerged from seclusion and learned about Mount Fangcun, I've imprisoned Flower Ten Women and all those involved in the conspiracy, so it couldn't have been them,” Immortal Bingbing hastily added.

Only King of Demons slowly rose to his feet, rubbed his shiny bald head, and said, “Neither is it the work of Demon King Fort, heh, this is strange, who else would dare to do this? Could it be those guys from the Bottomless Pit?”

“Don't just make wild guesses because Earth Spray Lady isn't here,” jeered Flower Ten Women.

Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing wore a contemplative expression as he walked up to the pit and began to investigate.

While they were talking, a series of booming “roars” erupted once again.

Shen Luo furrowed his brows and looked out toward the high altitude in all directions to see that in different parts of Chang'an City, thick black smoke was rising.

“Such a dense Demonic Qi!” Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang frowned and said.

“This Demonic Qi isn't pure; there is much more malevolent Qi mixed in, not like that of the orthodox Demon Clan members, but rather like those evil demons from the underworld,” the Blue-haired Lion King also deeply sniffed the air and commented.

Within the Demon Clan, there are different kindreds, distinguished by the amount of Chiyou's Magic Blood they contain. The more there is, the more orthodox they are, while the less pure it is, the more mixed and usually less powerful they become.

Apart from these, there is a group of evil demons that have long been lurking within the Earth Veins, whose bloodlines can be traced back to the Ancient Magical Beast Gluttonous, though most of them have impure bloodlines and low Spiritual Wisdom, more akin to Magical Beasts.

These evil demons were all brutally bloodthirsty, even seen as Blood Meal by the Demon Clan, which is why they are loathed not just by Human Immortals, but also viewed as heretics by the Demon Clan itself.

“Gathering such a multitude of evil demon aura is not the work of a day or two; there must have been a long-standing arrangement for this. Was there anything unusual in Chang'an City before this?” Li Jing picked up a clump of soil and said.

“Boom”

Just then, a thunderous roar came from the northwest.

Following that, everyone saw a pitch-black tendril hundreds of feet long rise from the ground to the northwest of Chang'an City, stretching high into the sky, entwined with black light, with black electric arcs leaping and crashing around it, emitting bursts of “thunderbolt” noises!

The pitch-black tendril smashed down in all directions, with each fall accompanied by a thunder strike, and as the lightning dispersed, numerous stone slabs and tiles could be seen exploding into the air, followed by waves of crying and wailing.

At the same time, a burst of golden light suddenly shone from that area, forming a series of golden runes that wrapped around, constructing a soaring light Formation that encircled the tendril in its center.

“It's the Astronomical Bureau…” Yuan Tiangang looked in that direction, his expression suddenly stern.

Soon after, from the north of the Great Tang Dynasty Government, a loud and resonant beastly roar resounded.

A colossal evil demon, a hundred feet tall and pitch black, reared its head and howled. The demon had an immense Ox Head, but its cheeks were covered with a layer of White Bones, as if wearing a Bone Mask.

Its upper body was no different from the Human Race, while its lower body consisted of several thick octopus-like Tendrils, which moved forward, collapsing great halls in each area they passed, kicking up clouds of dust.

“The Imperial Palace has also been attacked…” Cheng Yaojin frowned deeply.

“Impudent Magical Beast!”

“Meet your death at once!”

As soon as the words fell, two booming voices rose from within the Imperial Palace; two hundred-foot mammoth men clad in shining Armor leaped up, one wielding a Golden Dragon Mangler, the other a Black Dragon Whip, and pressed towards the Ox Head evil demon.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Explosions and roars echoed one after another, plunging the entire city of Chang'an into intense turmoil.

Billows of pitch-black smoke rose from various places within the city, like dark demonic dragons bursting into the high altitude, rampaging above Chang'an. The ordinary people of the city might no longer have any impression of such chaos, but many monks still remembered the spectacle when the Jing River Dragon King led tens of thousands of ghosts into Chang'an; only this time, the situation was clearly far more grave.

Little Master and the others stood up upon seeing this, a trace of puzzlement flashing in their eyes.

“Friend Cheng, it looks like there's big trouble brewing. If you need our help, just say the word–we won't refuse,” King of Demons said with a smile on his face.

Cheng Yaojin ignored him and turned to Yuan Tiangang.

“The Astronomical Bureau has been attacked. By rights, the city's defense array should have been activated immediately, but for now, only the Astronomical Bureau's own protective array is deployed, which certainly indicates a problem. I must return there at once; the rest is up to you,” Yuan Tiangang said without a trace of panic on his face, pondering for a moment.

“Alright,” Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Yuan Tiangang pinched his fingers together to form a magical tactic, and with a flash of light beneath his feet, an Eight Trigrams Symbols Formation appeared.

With a flick of his finger and a snap, the positions on the formation beneath his feet shifted. From his original position, he instantly moved to the South direction, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

“Lu Huaming, heed my command,” Cheng Yaojin called out, looking toward one side of the square.

“Your disciple is present,” Lu Huaming immediately flew up, landing in front of the Martial Arts Stage.

“Quickly mobilize all the hall masters and all the disciples of the Great Tang Dynasty Government to rescue and evacuate the people in Chang'an City. Do not delay,” Cheng Yaojin commanded as he threw a token.

“Yes,” Lu Huaming replied without any fuss, catching the token and turning to leave.

“Remember, the primary task is to rescue the people, and the secondary is to exterminate demons,” Cheng Yaojin reminded.

“Yes,” Lu Huaming affirmed, his figure already darting away.

“All Feathered Spirit Guards, listen to my command–return to the Imperial City immediately, protect the inner gardens of the Imperial Palace, and do not let demons set foot inside,” Cheng Yaojin continued.

“Friend Cheng, let us also offer our modest help,” Fairy Qinglian said, frowning slightly as she stepped forward.

“Amitabha, this poor monk can also return to Hua Sheng Temple and summon the monks to come and assist,” Kongdu Zen Master said, raising a palm.

“Don't worry, everyone. The chaos in Chang'an is but a momentary matter, and the situation will soon stabilize. There is no need for excessive anxiety,” Cheng Yaojin said, hesitating slightly upon hearing their offers.

“Friend Cheng, it seems you still don't quite trust us. We sincerely want to help,” the King of Demons also said, with a smile.

“Brother Kui, at a time like this, it's better not to add to the chaos. Otherwise, people really might start suspecting that it's your Demon King Fort stirring up trouble behind the scenes,” Little Master, who had been silent, stood up and spoke.

King of Demons glanced at him and let out a cold laugh, but said no more.

“Dong dong…”

Suddenly, a series of urgent bell sounds came from the distance.

Upon hearing this sound, Cheng Yaojin's expression changed instantly.

Shen Luo followed the sound with his gaze, his expression becoming solemn as well.

Because the place from which the bell tolled was none other than the Da Ci'en Temple, where the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda stood.
