"Strange."
After confirming that the aura within the billowing yellow sand ahead did indeed belong to the Nine Abysses Demonic Army, Xu Taiping was suddenly filled with confusion.
According to Wulang, this contingent of the Nine Abysses Demonic Army shouldn't appear until tomorrow.
Ten days is the minimum time the Nine Abysses Demon Mother needs to wield her teleportation power.
He murmured inwardly.
Seeing this for the first time, Song Yan asked Gu Huai beside him in puzzlement:
"Gu Huai, those thirty thousand troops of the Nine Abysses Demonic Army are inside that sandstorm?"
Gu Huai nodded and said:
"The previous two contingents of the Nine Abysses Demonic Army did indeed charge out of sandstorms."
He immediately added:
"But we investigated. Before the Nine Abysses Demonic Army actually appears, it's nothing more than a stretch of sandstorm."
"There's no trace of any troops of the Nine Abysses Demonic Army inside."
Song Yan said in astonishment:
"As expected of the Nine Abysses Demon Mother. To think she possesses such terrifying means of teleportation."
Rumble...
Just then, rolling thunder suddenly sounded within that sandstorm.
Immediately afterward, an utterly terrifying aura fluctuation swept out of it.
In an instant, the yellow sand and raging winds stirred up by that terrifying aura charged out of the sandy expanse like enormous savage wolves, slamming heavily against the barrier outside Heavenly Thunder City.
Bang! Bang, bang!
Despite its tremendous momentum, that aura failed to shake the outermost barrier in the slightest.
For a moment, everyone on the ramparts felt reassured.
But just then, a rough voice filled with anger suddenly rang out from the sandstorm-
"Xu Taiping! You and those old commoners of the Zhenwu Demon-Slaying Army, listen well!"
At these words, Xu Taiping, Song Yan, and Gu Huai all felt their hearts jolt.
