Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Qinghe Mountain Range, camps where humans had gathered were uprooted by the demonic beasts. Worse still, many vicious beasts stormed into human villages and towns to slaughter their inhabitants. For a time, terror gripped the entire Ascending Dragon Prefecture.
"Head of the family, this demonic calamity came far too suddenly. Caught completely off guard, our family's businesses on the outskirts of the mountain range were struck by the demonic beasts and suffered heavy losses."
The Third Elder furrowed his brows, his face full of worry.
The First Elder stroked his beard, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes. "Generally speaking, a demonic calamity occurs once every three hundred years. Only a hundred years have passed since the last one, yet the Demon Race is causing chaos again. There must be something amiss."
Li Xinge nodded in agreement, then slowly said, "Whatever the reason, our most urgent task now is to evacuate our family members from the Qinghe Mountain Range and reduce our casualties. First Elder, I'm putting you in charge of this!"
The First Elder cupped his hands.
"Also, Second Elder, take a squad of Hall of Law Enforcement disciples and personally station yourselves in Li Family Town to protect our family's branch members."
"Understood."
"As for the rest of the elders, each of you should attend to your own duties and prepare for the demonic calamity to drag on."
"We obey!"
The demonic calamity was no trivial matter. It was beyond the ability of a small family like the Li Family to handle, so Li Xinge could only prioritize the safety of his own people.
As for everyone else, when the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up. It wasn't his concern.
