Shen Fei walked over and opened the door.
Old Steward was standing outside the door, wearing that half-worn gray cloth robe, his hair was neatly combed, but the expression on his face was much more serious than usual, and there was a faint layer of green and black under his eye sockets. It looked like he had not slept well last night.
"Master." Old Steward bowed slightly and his tone was darker than usual.
Shen Fei nodded and let him in. He walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of warm water. He took a sip, put down the cup, and looked at old Steward: "What happened?"
Old Steward walked into the room and stood at the table. Without beating around the bush, he simply spoke directly about what happened last night, "Last night, a powerful foreigner appeared in the sky above City Lord's Mansion. I heard it was Nether Domain Witch Ghost Family's strength is Legendary Peak. Ye Mo master confronted him for a while. Before leaving, the man put down his words and said that they had dozens of Legendary Rank strong men and three Demi-God, let Glory City surrendered. Mr. Ye Mo did not pursue him. Later Mr. Ye Zong flew up and asked Mr. Ye Mo. Mr. Ye Mo said to inform Mr. Nie Li. At the same time, all the powerful families in the city Black Gold Rank and above were notified to prepare for the battle. Last night, all City Guard personnel were on the wall, and the four peripheral passages were closed, First-Level Alert. All the major aristocratic families have also received the notice from the messengers, and are preparing before dawn."
When old Steward said these words, he didn't speak fast, and every word was spoken clearly, as smoothly as if he was reporting daily accounts.
Shen Fei After listening, the fingers holding the water glass paused for a breath. He put the glass back on the table and nodded. There was not much expression change on his face, but he had already gone through the information in his heart.
Witch Ghost Family, dozens of Legendary Rank, and three Demi-God. These numbers are indeed enough to make the entire Glory City face the crisis of destruction. It was right not to pursue Ye Mo last night.
Not being able to stay is one reason, but more importantly, there are too many people standing behind the opponent, and fighting alone cannot change the overall situation.
"Got it." Shen Fei responded with a calm voice. He turned around and walked to the shelf on the wall, took off the coat hanging on it, put it on, tied his belt, and hung the sword on his waist.
He touched Space Ring to confirm that everything inside was there, then turned and walked towards the door.
Old Steward followed him half a step to the door. Shen Fei stepped out of the threshold and stood in the yard.
The morning air was cool, with the smell of night dew and earth. The leaves of the old Chinese Locust Tree tree in the corner were swaying gently in the breeze. He stood in the center of the yard, closed his eyes, and his mind sank into the Soul Sea.
The phantom of Shadow Mantis rose from the depths of the Soul Sea, and the dark Spiritual Power spread along Meridians to the limbs and bones.
Black thin armor covered his arms, torso and calves, and his arms turned into Mantis-like Blade Forelimbs from the elbows down, and the blades glowed with a faint green light.
His pupils shrank into thin slits, and the aura around him became extremely light under the influence of Shadow Stealth.
He did not deliberately restrain himself. In such an emergency, rushing as quickly as possible was the first priority.
The moment the fusion was completed, his toes tapped the ground, and his whole body was like a dark afterimage, ejected from the yard of the Sacred Family.
He did not go through the main entrance, but climbed directly over the courtyard wall, stepped on the tiles of the roof, and flew quickly in the direction of the Winged Dragon Family in the morning light.
The wind blew past my ears, and the houses and streets under my feet quickly receded. There were already scattered pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, but they only felt a gust of wind passing above their heads, and could not see anything when they raised their heads.
Shen Fei's speed was very fast, Black Gold Rank 4-Star's Spiritual Power was running at full strength, and the distance covered by each step was much longer than usual. In less than half a cup of tea, he landed outside the Winged Dragon Family's side yard.
The wooden door to the side yard was already open. Shen Fei stepped over the threshold and walked in, and immediately saw Xiao Ning'er standing in the center of the yard.
Today she was wearing a light gray shorts outfit, with tight cuffs, Short Sword and a cloth bag hanging around her waist, and her hair was tied into a ponytail, pinned with the silver-gray hairpin.
Her expression was very calm, and she stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, as if she had been waiting for a while. When she heard the movement at the door, she turned around and her eyes fell on Shen Fei.
The two looked at each other without any unnecessary greetings. Xiao Ning'er nodded, and his mind sank into the Soul Sea.
The phantom of Wind-Thunder Sky Sparrow instantly unfolded behind her, a light cyan aura burst out from her body, and a pair of Wind-Thunder Wings spread out behind her, with tiny lightning flashes dancing on the edges of the wings.
The lightning spread from the wings to her whole body, raising her aura to the extreme. Her toes touched the ground, and she rose into the air. The lightning exploded under her feet, carrying her into the air.
Shen Fei also jumped up as she took off. The speed brought by Shadow Stealth made his figure blur in mid-air for a moment, and then landed steadily beside Xiao Ning'er.
The two of them hovered side by side in the air for a moment, confirming that each other was ready, and then they exerted force at the same time and flew quickly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Two figures, one dark and one green, moved quickly past the roof of Glory City and above the tree canopy.
Shen Fei's dark figure blended into the shadows, and Xiao Ning'er's cyan figure carried lightning. The two maintained a distance of about one foot, and their speeds matched perfectly.
The wind blew behind them, blowing the hems of their clothes back. In the early morning, the City Guard command came from the direction of City Wall to change defenses. There were more pedestrians in the streets and alleys, but no one looked up, or even if someone looked up, they could only see two fleeting shadows.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the outline of the City Lord's Mansion appeared in the field of vision. The two people landed on the stone road outside the side door of the City Lord's Mansion.
The guard guarding the door had been notified long ago. When he saw them landing, he immediately stepped aside to get out of the way. Shen Fei and Xiao Ning'er walked into the side door one after another and walked along the familiar corridor to Back Courtyard.
Pass through the moon cave gate, go around the patio planted with bamboos, and walk along the stone road to the deepest courtyard. The courtyard door is ajar, and light shines from inside.
Shen Fei walked to the door, raised his hand and pushed open the courtyard door.
The moment Shen Fei and Xiao Ning'er stepped into the City Lord's Mansion Back Courtyard from the side door, there was a muffled sound above their heads, as if the entire sky had been buckled by a giant drum from the outside.
The two of them looked up at the same time and saw a dark golden light curtain slowly unfolding in the sky directly above City Lord's Mansion.
The light curtain spreads from the center of the City Lord's Mansion to all sides, with dense lines like a spider web, the light is deep and thick, and each line is expanding outward at an extremely fast speed.
That was Ten Thousand Demons and Spirits Array. Different from what I had seen before on City Wall, the formation at this moment was obviously operating at full strength. The dark golden light illuminated almost half of the city, suppressing even the gray sky in the early morning.
