Bad News (2)

But in the end?
There was a dark expression on everyone’s faces.
Now that the two cities at the front line had been breached, this was definitely not good news for them.
What if, after taking down the two cities, the demon beasts changed directions and headed towards Ancient Origin City?
The entire hall fell silent.
A moment later, Hua Mengyou was the first to break the silence. She looked at everyone present with a solemn expression and said,
“Everyone, apart from this news, I have another piece of bad news that 1 need to tell you.”
What?
Upon hearing her words, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
The news they were told just now was already extremely bad.
Could there be something worse than that?
No one said anything, waiting for Hua Mengyou to continue.
Hua Mengyou said, “According to the informations sent back by the person in charge of investigating the movements of the demon beasts,
Recently, the number of demon beasts targeting Ancient Origin City has clearly increased.
If I’m not wrong, the scale of the next wave of attacks will probably far exceed the previous few.”
As soon as she said this, the gloom in the hall deepend.
“So…”
Hua Mengyou glanced slowly at everyone present.
“Next, we have to be alert and be prepared to face unexpected situations.”
What she meant was that if Jiang Rendao, Li Fei, and Bai Zixuan failed to defend the city, the rest of them had to take action.
In the end, they decided that if there was a situation that Jiang Rendao and the other two could not deal with, Bai Yuanchen of the Bai family would show up first to their aid.
Followed by Bai Yuancheng were Hua Mengyou, Jiang Chengxuan, and then Bai Mingshan and Shen Ruyan, who had reached the ninth level of the Violet Palace.
To this arrangement, no one had any objections.
Time passed in a flash.
It was three months later.
In the past three months, the demon beasts had launched two more attacks.
However, the scale of these two attacks was not big.
There was even no sign of a Level 3 demon beast.
However, it was precisely this that made Jiang Chengxuan and the others feel abnormally under pressure.
This was like the calm before a storm.
The demon beasts were clearly accumulating strength for a larger attack.
It could be imagined that when the next beast attack or the one after next came, it would definitely be terrifying.
That was indeed the case.
Another month passed.
The Bai family cultivators who were patrolling the eastern city wall suddenly saw dense demon beasts appear hundreds of kilometers outside the city.
As instructed, they immediately sent a signal.
In an instant, the entire Ancient Origin City was on alert.
However, at this moment, the Jade Water Sword Pavilion cultivator on the northern city wall also sent a signal at the same time.
This shocked all the cultivators in the city.
In the past, whenever the demon beasts attacked, they would start from the east gate.
This was mainly due to the geographical location of Ancient Origin City.
Other than the east gate, the other three gates all had natural barriers.
It was almost impossible for the demon beasts to bypass those natural barriers and attack the Ancient Origin City.
But now.
This seemingly impossible thing happened.
Outside the northern gate, countless demon beasts gathered.
What exactly was going on?
“No… that’s not right!”
Suddenly, a cultivator sensed something amiss.
He pointed at the demon beasts that appeared and said in shock,
“They are not demon beasts that exist in the Ancient Origin Mountain Range at all!”
Some cultivators who knew a lot about demon beasts widened their eyes and said with a trembling voice,
“They… they’re demon beasts from Songhai City!”
“What? Pine Sea City?”
Many people asked in disbelief.
Clearly, they knew that the Pine Sea City mentioned was the frontline defensive city like the Ancient Origin City.
Now that there were demon beasts from the direction of Pine Sea City, didn’t that mean that Pine Sea City, which held equal strategic importance as the Ancient Origin City, had already fallen?
