Ye Mo did not answer. Heavenly Plume Sacred Bird's golden feathers swayed slightly in the night wind, and those tiny golden light spots scattered around, like a silent circle.
He stood there, the hem of his gray gown still swaying slightly. He looked the same as usual, but that heavy breath was pressing over the entire City Lord's Mansion, making everyone feel tight in their chests.
Wu Man put away Witch Ghost Beast. The black mist retracted from the void and disappeared into his Soul Sea again.
He stood in mid-air and glanced condescendingly at the City Lord's Mansion courtyard. He saw Ye Zong on the stone steps, saw the City Guard gathering on City Wall in the distance, and saw the lights lighting up in the direction of the major aristocratic families.
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and there was an undisguised contempt in his tone.
"I didn't expect that there is an old guy from Legendary Peak who can be so strong." Wu Man tilted his head, and his dark golden vertical pupils fell on Ye Mo again, "However, you alone can't stop us Witch Ghost Family."
Ye Mo still didn't speak. He hung in place, with Heavenly Plume Sacred Bird's shadow standing quietly behind him, his golden pupils locked on Wu Man.
Wu Man floated forward for a short distance, holding his hands in front of his chest, his posture was very casual, as if he was chatting. "Surrender now and leave Glory City to us. Maybe your people can still have a way to survive."
His voice was not loud, but wrapped around Spiritual Power, people within a few hundred meters of the City Lord's Mansion could hear him clearly.
Ye Mo spoke. His voice was not high, but every word was pronounced firmly. "Witch Ghost Family, if you want to fight, fight."
After Wu Man finished saying those words, he stepped back. The air under his feet seemed to be stepped on by something, and with the force of the recoil, his whole body flew backwards against the eaves above City Lord's Mansion.
He flew upside down very quickly, and the dark red lines on the surface of his gray-white skin flashed twice in the night, and his figure disappeared into the darkness of the wilderness outside the city.
Ye Mo was suspended in place, looking at the direction in which Wu Man disappeared without pursuing him. He put his hands behind his back, and the hem of his gray gown swayed slightly in the night wind, and then slowly fell down, returning to a still state.
He knew the strength of Wu Man. He was also Legendary Peak. If the other party wanted to leave, he couldn't stay. And in the brief contact just now, he could feel that although Wu Man's aura was strong, his foundation was very stable.
The opponent is carrying Nether Domain Witch Ghost Family and Secret Method. If you catch up rashly, you will only fall into an unknown trap.
More importantly, what Wu Man said before leaving. Dozens of Legendary Rank strong men, three Demi-God. Ye Mo have lived for so many years, and they know the weight of these words in their hearts.
This is definitely not a bluff. Glory City's current apparent combat power of Legendary Rank, plus him, Ye Zong, and the few people City Lord's Mansion has recently gathered, can only be counted on the fingers of one hand.
If Witch Ghost Family really used the strength of the entire clan to attack, Glory City would be almost invincible now.
He raised his head and glanced at the night sky. Most of the moon was covered by clouds, with only a little edge showing. He was silently calculating in his heart, and it seemed that he had to prepare for the worst.
Ye Zong soared into the air from the stone steps of the City Lord's Mansion Front Courtyard. Wind and Snow Spiritual Power formed a light blue band of light under his feet, carrying him and flying to Ye Mo's side.
He hovered in the air and followed Ye Mo's gaze in the direction of the wilderness outside the city, but saw nothing. The night was dark, and the wind blew with a chill. He retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Mo, and asked, "What should I do?"
Ye Mo did not answer immediately. He hung in the air in silence for a few breaths, his gray hair blowing back in the night wind, and the wrinkles on his face looked particularly deep under the moonlight.
He turned around and faced the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. His voice was not loud, but every word was clear. "Tell Nie Li that it is about to begin. And notify all the strong ones above Black Gold Rank to prepare for the battle."
Ye Zong looked stern after hearing this. He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and responded in a steady voice, "Okay."
Ye Zong fell back from mid-air onto the stone steps of the City Lord's Mansion Front Courtyard. When his toes touched the ground, Wind and Snow Spiritual Power retracted back into his body, and the light blue light dissipated into the night.
He stood on the stone steps and raised his hand. The two guards guarding the steps immediately ran forward quickly and knelt down on one knee.
"Give the order." Ye Zong's voice was low, but with an unquestionable intensity, "From now on, Glory City enters First-Level Alert. Close the four peripheral passages, City Guard All members go to City Wall. Send messengers to Three Great Families and various small and medium-sized aristocratic families to inform all monks above Black Gold Rank to prepare for battle before dawn and be on standby at any time."
The guards responded in unison, stood up and ran quickly outside the City Lord's Mansion. Their footsteps struck the Bluestone Slab very quickly, and soon started the movement of the entire City Lord's Mansion.
The guards patrolling the yard began to run in groups in the direction of City Wall. The clerks in the house were awakened and went to the archives with lanterns to look through the personnel rosters of various aristocratic families.
The entire City Lord's Mansion suddenly woke up from the quiet state just now. There were rapid footsteps and low-pitched conversations everywhere. The firelight swayed back and forth in the yard, making the shadows on the wall grow longer and shorter.
After Ye Zong made these arrangements, he did not stay at Front Courtyard. He turned around and walked in the direction of Back Courtyard, walking faster than usual.
Pass through the Moon Cave Gate, go around the patio planted with bamboos, and walk along the stone path to the deepest courtyard.
The courtyard door was ajar, but the lights were still on inside. Ye Zong pushed the door open and walked in. Nie Li was sitting next to the stone table in the courtyard, holding a roll of maps in his hand. He raised his head when he heard footsteps.
Ye Zong walked up to him and repeated what Ye Mo said exactly. After listening, Nie Li put down the map in his hand, nodded, and said nothing more.
The entire Glory City, from the City Lord's Mansion to the mansions of major aristocratic families, from the sentry tower on City Wall to the patrol lines in the city, were all put on alert for half the night.
City Guard was put on real armor, the armory was opened, and Inscription Materials was transported to City Wall one by one.
The lights in every house were turned on one after another. Although ordinary people did not know what happened specifically, they could feel the tense atmosphere over the whole city.
The next morning, it was just dawning, and the light filtered through the gaps in the window paper and fell on the quilt, forming a light yellow strip. Shen Fei opened his eyes, lying on the bed and looking at the beams above his head, his mind still a little heavy.
He lifted the quilt and sat up and rubbed his temples. After returning from Martial Arts Arena last night, he practiced for a while before going to bed. Although he slept late, his Black Gold Rank 4-Star foundation supported him and he recovered quickly.
He put on his coat, tied his belt, walked to the basin and poured some cold water on his face. When he splashed the water on his face, there was a knock on the door.
