So Arrogant There Are No Friends Left

What was that sound?

Everyone tensed up; the sound had seemed to ring right in their ears, making their scalps tingle.

The Four Elders of Great Wei were in an absolute uproar.

"It really is her... the Bat Queen!"

The goatee-wearing cultivator said with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with terror.

The female cultivator spoke up, "Let's go. This mission is destined to be impossible to complete."

The monarch of Great Wei had sent them not only to win over Su Yi but also to occupy Xiwan City, but looking at it now, the monarch had been overthinking things.

The strength of Great Wei was not yet enough to swallow up the Strange City!

"Wait a little longer!"

Another cultivator spoke. There was no hierarchy among the Four Elders of Great Wei; they were as close as brothers, so his words caused the other three to calm down.

If they ran away before the Bat Queen had even appeared, how shameful would that be if word got out?

"Hiss, hiss, hiss--"

"Caw, caw--"

Just then, a series of hisses and cries erupted from the west side of the city, as if countless bats and birds were screeching in unison.

Looking toward the direction of the sound, a dark, oppressive mass swept in from the horizon, stirring up ten thousand bolts of thunder.

"Demons and Monsters are here! The Demons and Monsters are here!"

"My god, what is that sound?"

"It's from the west side of the city! Hurry up and look, what is that?"

"How terrifying! Could it be an army of bird demons?"

The satellites that had just been launched transmitted the footage to the official website of Xiwan City, throwing all the citizens into a panic.

Peace had not lasted long; crisis had descended once again.

"This is not a fight you can win. It is best to retreat."

Just then, the voice of Feng Long suddenly echoed in Su Yi's mind.

If even he said it was unwinnable, that meant the newcomers were beyond the Nascent Soul Realm!

Su Yi's heart sank slightly, and he fell into a dilemma. If he left, Xiwan City would surely be doomed; after all, the Demon Race had always been cruel to humans. To them, humans were nothing more than food.

"What are you thinking about?"

Nan Xiaopao gripped Su Yi's hand and asked with concern.

Su Yi pondered, "This enemy is extraordinary."

He didn't explain clearly, but Nan Xiaopao understood what he meant.

"Should we just run away?"

Nan Xiaopao said understandingly. She knew the pressure Su Yi was under, but he had already risked his life for Xiwan City many times; he had done more than enough.

Compared to the people of the entire city, she cared more about Su Yi.

Su Yi did not reply; he was also hesitating.

With the Divine Shadow Legion at his disposal, he could help Xiwan City resolve this crisis once, but what about the next time?

In the coming period, various factions would gather, and even for him, staying behind would be fraught with danger.

"Let's wait and see."

Su Yi sighed. It wasn't that he had a saintly heart; he just felt that since they were all from Earth and were all Huaxia people, he should lend a hand where he could.

Meanwhile, the army of bats and demon birds had already flown over the sky of Xiwan City, appearing like a swarm of demons roaring beneath the rolling thunderclouds.

Most of the bats were as large as eagles, while the other demon birds were even more massive. There was even a Golden-Feathered Vulture with a wingspan of ten zhang, hovering in the air like an airplane.

The number of the demon army this time far exceeded the army of the Black Scale King from before; there were at least a million of them.

Seeing this scene, anyone would feel a sense of powerlessness.

When the city lord, Tan Quanming, saw this, he collapsed to the ground in terror, his face deathly pale, muttering to himself, "It's over... it's all over..."

Behind him, Zhang Yicheng was also trembling all over, feeling the urge to turn around and run.

"My god... we're finished..."

"Abandon the city and run! Save whoever we can!"

"Why are so many Demons and Monsters attacking again? Do we have a grudge against them?"

"Damn it! We haven't been cultivating for long enough; this is a damn death-level dungeon!"

"Does the Xuanyuan Human Emperor really want us to be the saviors? He's just playing with us!"

Everyone was in a panic, and the sound of women and children crying could be heard in every corner of the city.

Although they had already embarked on the path of cultivation, their cultivation levels were too weak, and they had no power to resist in the face of the demon army.

Just then, thousands of bats parted, and a bewitching yet evil figure emerged.

This was a woman with a pair of bat wings on her back. Although she had taken human form, it was not complete; her hands still retained the appearance of bat claws. Her blood-red hair danced wildly in the air, her face was seductive, and she wore a long dress made of snake skin, her eyes filled with immense malice.

Bat Queen!

She was a peerless demon with even more ferocious prestige than Black Scale King or Old Lord Qiyang!

She looked down at Xiwan City and said, "As long as you hand over the Qiling Holy Body and pledge your loyalty to me, you will be allowed to live."

Her voice resounded throughout the city, reaching every corner.

They were being forced to submit again!

Everyone felt a sense of sorrow in their hearts. Since they had transmigrated to the Desolate Ancient era, who had they ever offended?

They had always been treated as prey, toyed with at will. This feeling made them feel both furious and powerless.

In the Desolate Ancient era, there was no such thing as law.

There was only the law of the jungle!

"She wants me?"

Nan Xiaopao frowned. She wasn't afraid, just very annoyed.

Su Yi stared at Bat Queen and asked in his heart, "If you make a move, can you defeat her?"

"No, your physical body cannot withstand the power required to defeat her."

Feng Long said decisively, causing Su Yi's heart to sink to the bottom.

Just then, the Four Elders of Great Wei suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

The goat-bearded cultivator spoke first: "Su Yi, come with us. The one above is Bat Queen, who rules a Demon Race kingdom. Xiwan City cannot be saved!"

The other three also chimed in, all hoping that Su Yi and Nan Xiaopao would go to Fierce Tang.

Even if they fled now, they would still be hunted down.

Su Yi did not agree, but instead asked, "If I repel Bat Queen, can you take in Xiwan City?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Four Elders of Great Wei fell silent.

At the same time, Su Yi inquired within the Emperor Su Sect in his mind.

Emperor Su: Xia Tianyi, Qingyan Devil Lord, compared to Bat Queen, who is stronger?

Black Tiger Emperor: Bat Queen? What? Do you have your eyes on her?

Demon Wolf Star: I have already arrived at Strange City and seen Bat Queen. This woman is so pretentious!

Qingyan Devil Lord: Bat Queen? How can she compare to me?

Xia Tianyi: Two swords at most.

It had to be said that Qingyan Devil Lord and Xia Tianyi were the two kings of posturing in the Emperor Su Sect; their words were concise and arrogant to the point of having no friends.

Seeing this, Su Yi immediately felt relieved.

He opened his eyes and pondered, "If you cannot protect Xiwan City, do you know any major righteous sects or Fierce Tang?"

He would have to leave sooner or later, and before he left, he had to find a guardian for Xiwan City until the citizens grew strong enough.

"Hmph, Fierce Tang is overbearing; they would definitely exploit Xiwan City. As for major righteous sects, I know an elder of the Qingyi Sect. I can send a message to them, but..."

The goat-bearded cultivator hesitated.

Qingyi Sect was a major righteous sect, so powerful that even the branches of the Luoshui Sect were inferior to it, and it was an existence that even the Seven Dynasties had to respect.

Su Yi immediately said, "As long as you can persuade them, I owe you, Great Wei, a favor!"

He dared not trust the demonic path. Major righteous sects might not be truly righteous, but at the very least, they would not openly slaughter the citizens of Xiwan City.
