New Function

What fell was a small satellite; it was not positioned in outer space, but rather hovered at an altitude of three thousand meters, acting as a central hub to provide network signals to the entire city.

The satellite was shot down, and in an instant, the city's signal was severed, causing countless smartphones and television screens broadcasting live feeds to freeze.

"Damn it! Why is there no signal?"

"Network admin! What the hell! I finally found a chance to get online after cultivating for half a day, and now it's crashed! I was already at level 99 in the Deadly Game! The boss was about to be finished off!"

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly freeze?"

"Could the Qiling Holy Lotus be behind this?"

"Strange, this is the first time the network has gone down since it was rebuilt."

The citizens discussed it in a flurry. The satellite landed in the center of the city, crashing into the street and giving the passersby a jolt of terror.

First the Qiling Holy Lotus appeared, and now the network was down.

A sense of gloom began to shroud the hearts of everyone in the city.

The entire city had lost its connection, with one exception: Su Yi.

He was currently lurking in his mind, waiting for Nan Xiaopao to wake up while watching the members of the Emperor Su Sect boast and banter.

Ever since the Demon Wolf Star joined the sect, he and the Black Tiger Emperor had hit it off; the demon and the beast chatted from morning till night, and even Su Yi found it mind-numbing to watch.

Do you guys not sleep?

Xia Tianyi and the Qingyan Devil Lord were busy people; every time they appeared, they would mention major events, drawing the attention of the entire sect.

Old Lord Qiyang had been chatting less and less lately; he was likely still on the run.

Wu Qingyao had become more active than before, and she no longer spewed hatred toward demons and monsters every time she spoke, occasionally even being amused by the Black Tiger Emperor and the Demon Wolf Star.

"Why hasn't she recovered yet? Nothing bad happened, right?"

Su Yi felt a bit nervous and couldn't help but ask within the Emperor Su Sect.

Emperor Su: How long does it usually take for the Qiling Holy Body to awaken?

Wu Qingyao: You are also concerned about this matter?

Emperor Su: Yes.

Qingyan Devil Lord: The Qiling Holy Body is an ancient evil physique. This is the first time it has appeared in three thousand years; I estimate it will take ten days or half a month!

Demon Wolf Star: That long? That's enough time for me to arrive. Emperor Su, can we meet in person?

Emperor Su: This Emperor is not in this realm, but I can observe everything within it.

Out of boredom, Su Yi began to brag again. He had read many web novels in the past and had seen all sorts of wild, imaginative ideas, so he naturally didn't feel any pressure.

He boasted so extravagantly that even the Demon Wolf Star was terrified, no longer daring to think about meeting the Emperor Su in person.

"Be careful, something is watching you."

Just then, the voice of Feng Long rang out.

Feng Long could not see the chat interface of the Emperor Su Sect; whenever Su Yi's thoughts touched the Great Dao Phone, it would automatically shield them, leading Feng Long to believe he was just being silent.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi stood up immediately. He was standing in the middle of ruins; for a thousand meters in every direction, there were only broken walls and debris. Those massive vines looked like small mountain ranges, and although there was no dust flying, no one dared to approach this area.

Wu Qingyao had also warned Tan Quanming, telling him just how terrifying the Qiling Holy Lotus was.

As the mayor and current lord of Xiwan City, Tan Quanming understood the gravity of the situation, so he had ordered the area to be cordoned off.

The sky was blue with white clouds drifting by, showing no signs of anything unusual. If something were hiding nearby, it would be difficult to find.

"Where is it?"

Su Yi asked in his heart. Since Feng Long could sense it, he must already know of the opponent's presence.

"In the sky!"

Feng Long's answer made Su Yi frown. Where could there be an enemy in the sky?

Could it be invisible?

Su Yi narrowed his eyes, staring at the sky like a hawk, scanning it incessantly.

Just then, a patch of white clouds drifted away, revealing a terrifying sight: countless bats were flapping their wings. At a glance, they were dense and uncountable, each one as large as an eagle.

Su Yi's hearing was superhuman, and he faintly heard the ear-piercing shrieks, which were growing louder and louder.

A massive surge of demonic energy began to descend, drawing thunderclouds to gather overhead.

Many people in the city noticed the anomaly in the sky.

On the top floor of a skyscraper in Xiwan City, Tan Quanming was berating a group of staff members, shouting, "How did the satellite fall? Do you realize this will leave all of Xiwan City in danger?"

"We have fewer than five hundred thousand people left! If everyone in Xiwan City dies, you will be the sinners!"

His shouting left the staff drenched in cold sweat; they had no idea why the satellite had suddenly fallen.

Because the satellites could not enter outer space like those on Earth, they had backup satellites that were rotated frequently, using electricity to maintain their suspension.

The staff hurriedly brought out a backup satellite, calibrated it, and prepared to launch it.

"Wait! What is that?"

A strong man beside Tan Quanming pointed at the sky and screamed.

His name was Zhang Yicheng, a top-tier local cultivator in Xiwan City who had already begun the Qi-Surging Eight Meridians and had even obtained a powerful magic treasure left behind by the Xuanyuan Human Emperor. Excluding Su Yi, the Luoshui Sect, and the Four Elders of Great Wei, he was confident he ranked in the top three of all Xiwan City.

Tan Quanming and his staff looked up in unison, just in time to see a swarm of bats. Beneath the thunderclouds, those bats hovered over the city like demons.

"There are demons!"

"Quick, notify the whole city to be on alert!"

Tan Quanming hurriedly ordered his secretary, who immediately took out a phone to call the broadcast station. Communications in Xiwan City were divided into two parts: the broadcast stations in each district, which were connected by independent wires, and the network, which was powered by satellites and could simultaneously pinpoint every corner of the city.

Soon, alarms blared across every district in the city, causing panic among the people.

Su Yi muttered to himself, "Another demon king is attacking?"

Xiwan City was truly plagued by one disaster after another!

If this continued, the population would plummet!

He couldn't keep relying on Feng Long for aerial combat; if he did, he would be finished sooner or later.

"Xiwan City affects all parties; after all, it is a strange city that descended from the heavens, and it also holds the Qiling Holy Lotus. To find peace, it must attach itself to a major power—either a great sect of the righteous or demonic paths, or the Fierce Tang. None of the other six dynasties have the strength to protect it!" Feng Long analyzed in his mind.

Su Yi shared this sentiment; he didn't want to protect Xiwan City forever.

Most importantly, he was currently a bit afraid of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor.

The Xuanyuan Human Emperor had sent them here to fight the Demon Race, yet he was cultivating demonic arts?

Just thinking about it was awkward!

He reckoned the Xuanyuan Human Emperor already hated him.

"What are they waiting for?"

Su Yi narrowed his eyes as he asked. He could sense that these bats were waiting for something.

Just then, an image suddenly appeared in his mind—it was the screen of the Great Dao Phone:

Please select one of the following new functions to unlock!

Divine Shadow Legion!

Sect Teleportation!

Su Yi's expression shifted. New functions?

They both sounded incredibly impressive!

It was a pity he could only choose one, but it still left him feeling excited!

The former was a legion, while the latter would likely teleport members of the Emperor Su Sect. Right now, aside from Old Lord Qiyang and Wu Qingyao, he couldn't control whoever he teleported, and it would only expose his secrets.

But would the Divine Shadow Legion pose a danger?

Which one do you think I should choose?
