Level One Alert!

"Th-this this this..."

Inside the Martial Alliance office.

The portly Alliance Leader Yun stood on the balcony, gazing at the black rift in the sky. Beads of sweat dripped uncontrollably from his forehead.

His body began to tremble violently, a look of panic flashing across his face.

He hadn't been this flustered even when facing the Demon-Infusing Pill or Kong Xin's accusations. Yet, faced with that terrifying rift in the sky, he, one of Cloud City's true powers...

was completely thrown into a panic!

Gate of Reception, alien demon rift... Demon King... descending!!!

Alliance Leader Yun's voice trembled slightly, filled with fear.

"Why... why would a Gate of Reception appear in Cloud City, just the most remote city in Great Xia!! What is going on!!!"

Alliance Leader Yun's voice seemed to shake, but he quickly regained his composure.

He rushed out of the office and shouted.

"Everyone in the Martial Alliance, hear my command!!"

"Immediately drop everything you are doing, ascend the city walls, and sound... a Level One Alert!!"

Alliance Leader Yun's voice instantly echoed throughout the entire Martial Alliance building.

Countless Martial Artists within the building first showed a slight stunned look, then disbelief on their faces.

But they quickly reacted, rapidly putting down their tasks and rushing towards the city walls.

Cloud City... Military Headquarters!

Commander Chen stood in a military camp, watching the images displayed on the screens within the barracks. The images clearly showed the black rifts that had appeared in the sky.

Looking at the rift, which exuded an extremely evil aura, Commander Chen's already frigid expression grew even more somber, as if water could drip from it.

"Damn it, there are indeed Demonic Cult rats in Cloud City!!!"

Commander Chen's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"All personnel, hear my orders, ascend the walls, prepare for defense!!"

"Simultaneously, sound the military's Level One Alert and send a distress signal to the provincial capital!!"

Commander Chen issued one order after another in an orderly fashion.

Instantly, the military personnel, like machines, began executing the commands.

Commander Chen watched the images on the screen, his eyes filled with gravity.

"The Gate of Reception has appeared, and the Demonic Cult has shown themselves again. I wonder which of the Heaven, Earth, and Human lineages is involved..."

"But why would they place the Gate of Reception in a remote small city like Cloud City? Is it aimed at Commander Kong?" Commander Chen murmured, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Wooooooo!!!

Urgent sounds instantly spread throughout Cloud City.

As these urgent alarm sounds reverberated, countless people still walking on the streets began to change their expressions.

They started running back to their homes, their eyes filled with panic.

Swish swish swish!!

Figures rushed out from all directions of Cloud City, all heading towards the city gates, their expressions grave.

"Level One Alert, what's going on? And... what the hell is that rift in the sky?"

In an instant, the entire Cloud City descended into chaos.

Discussions erupted in the streets and alleys.

"I don't know, but a Level One Alert is no joke. When a Level One Alert is sounded... it clearly signifies a city-destroying calamity!"

"Damn it, our Cloud City is just a small, remote city, why is there a city-destroying calamity happening!!"

The expressions of these Martial Artists were grim, but they still rushed towards the city walls.

The Martial Alliance and the Military had several alert levels!

A Level Three Alert indicated the presence of Fierce Beasts or Demonic Cult members causing trouble, requiring everyone to cooperate with the Martial Alliance and Great Xia's military for checks, to prevent them from causing unrest within the city.

A Level Two Alert indicated a calamity like a fierce beast tide, requiring the city's military and Martial Alliance to join forces to resist the invasion of the fierce beast tide!

As for a Level One Alert...

It signified a city-destroying calamity. Usually, when this alert was sounded, it meant either the defenses of the Alien Demon Battlefield had fallen, and alien demons were about to descend upon Great Xia's territory.

Or... a new Alien Demon Battlefield had been born!

No matter which it was...

It was an extremely terrifying disaster for any city, even a provincial capital.

Above a Level One Alert, there exists a Special Alert. When a Special Alert is sounded… it signifies that all defensive lines on the Alien Demon Battlefields have completely fallen, and alien demons will descend upon the Great Xia territories without restraint.

Countless civilians will perish in this calamity.

Countless Martial Artists will become the best sustenance for alien demons!

Countless cities will be utterly annihilated!

Since the establishment of Great Xia, the Special Alert has been sounded a total of two times!

Each time it is sounded, it means the entire Great Xia will enter a final desperate struggle, and all ordinary people and Martial Artists will be taken over by the Military and the Martial Alliance.

Anyone who disobeys orders, no matter who they are… will be executed on the spot!

Great Xia… will become an iron fortress!

And now…

With the sounding of the Level One Alert, the entire Cloud City has fallen into chaos. Fortunately, personnel from the Military and the Martial Alliance quickly appeared.

Some people ascended the city walls, preparing for defense, while others appeared in the streets and alleys of Cloud City, pacifying the citizens.

Meanwhile, in the Martial Arts Training Hall of Jiangcheng First High School.

Urgent alarm sounds continued to blare.

Commander Chen and the principal's expressions immediately turned grim. They exchanged a look, and then Commander Chen spoke sternly to the somewhat panicked students of the Martial Arts Class in front of him.

"All students in the Martial Arts Class, stay put and do not move! Do not take a single step outside the Martial Arts Training Hall!"

As he spoke, Commander Chen looked towards Lan Linglong.

Although Commander Chen did not know Kong Xin, he knew Lan Linglong's identity as the second disciple of the Heaven and Earth Dojo's Dojo Master, and furthermore, she possessed Viscera Refining Realm cultivation.

Currently, within the Martial Arts Training Hall, Lan Linglong had the highest cultivation.

Lan Linglong also sensed Commander Chen's gaze. The smile on her face slowly faded, leaving only a look of calm.

Lan Linglong spoke softly, "Instructor Chen can make his own arrangements!"

"As for Lu Sheng… I need to take him with me!"

Commander Chen's brow furrowed slightly. Although Lu Sheng was a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, he was also a student in the Martial Arts Class. If possible, he would prefer Lu Sheng to remain within the Martial Arts Training Hall.

It would be safer this way. After all, Lu Sheng had great talent, and in the face of such a crisis, Commander Chen wanted Lu Sheng to stay under his watchful eye.
