Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 468 - 280: Can’t Be Seen Through_2

"Hurry up!" said the woman in the midst of the crowd.

The others turned their heads and looked at him. Supported by others, Lu Jingfeng spoke difficultly, "Senior, are you not returning to Beifeng City with us?"

"No, I have more important matters to attend to," said Fei Feng.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingfeng struggled to stand straight and expressed his gratitude by bowing to Fei Feng, wishing, "I hope Senior accomplishes your wish."

"Go." He straightened his body and led the way out of Fei Feng's protective circle. As soon as he stepped out, the surrounding demons turned and attacked him.

Lu Jingfeng flicked his sleeve, and all the demons around were swept away. Their bodies crumbled piece by piece in mid-air, and when they landed, they were nothing more than chunks of flesh all over the ground.

Several others also walked out of the protective circle and followed Lu Jingfeng towards Beifeng City.

Fei Feng watched as they disappeared into the demon tide, her figure vanished from the air, or rather from the visible world, and she turned to fly towards the demon lair.

Boom! A commotion burst in the demon tide, and everyone peeked out to see. Some sharp-eyed individuals noticed several people coming towards Beifeng City within the demon tide.

"It's the City Lord! Quick, go save the City Lord!" The city defense officer, upon recognizing the figures within the demon tide, shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing that the City Lord and others, who had left the city to sever the source of the black fog, had returned, people from all sides were thrilled. Various families eagerly dispatched personnel to rescue the City Lord and others within the demon tide.

For any family, a Core Formation Realm was not easily gained. Even those elders who lost the ability to advance further in the Core Formation Realm were valuable resources. Especially for those families where Core Formation Realms were rare, it could mean a difference of one or two times the strength of the clan.

"The City Lord has returned?" Upon hearing people around him, Lu Yu paused slightly, then saw a group of people coming towards him.

He came back to his senses and turned to look outside the city. Since they were heading his way, it was likely the City Lord and others were coming from his direction too.

Looking outside the city, he saw a large number of demons gathered together. Occasionally, flashes of light burst from the center of the demons, but there were too many demons for the light to penetrate the gaps between them and reach the outside.

If Lu Yu hadn't had a keen eye and noticed the demons gathering into groups, he might not have discovered their position.

"Quick, those above the Core Formation Realm, come with me to meet the City Lord," shouted the city defense officer, leading the charge out of the city wall towards Lu Jingfeng and others' location.

Others followed suit. Seeing Lu Jingfeng and others trapped by demons indicated they were already at their wits' end. Without rescue, they might be worn out and killed by the sheer number of demons in the tide.

More than ten Core Formation Realm powerhouses charged into the demon tide. No matter how numerous the demons were, it was futile. The attack of more than ten divine soldiers could clear a large area of demons in an instant.

They were not like Lu Jingfeng and others, whose spiritual power was nearly exhausted. While they had also taken action on the city wall, they'd maintained a full state the entire time, keeping their strength normal.

Strange claws reached out towards them. A Core Formation Realm powerhouse's eyes widened in anger, shouting, "Get lost!"

His divine weapon flew up, sending out a terrifying sonic wave. The nearby flying wing demons and strange claws were shattered into a mist of blood.

Boom boom boom~ Several divine weapons smashed into the demon tide, annihilating tens of thousands of demons. Instantly, the demons surrounding Lu Jingfeng and others were flattened by three layers.

"City Lord!" Seeing Lu Jingfeng covered in blood, the officer couldn't help but shout.

Others noticed Lu Jingfeng's miserable state and also began to worry about their own Core Formation Realm members, searching for them amidst the demon tide.

"Let's bring them back to the city first," the principal of Beifeng Academy said steadily.

When Lu Jingfeng and others returned safely inside Beifeng City, everyone couldn't help but want to know what had happened within the black fog.

Especially those families whose Core Formation Realms hadn't made it back, they were even more eager to know the reason. Otherwise, a grudge would inevitably form in their hearts. Why did our family's Core Formation Realm not return, but other families' did?

"The City Lord is so seriously injured, let him recuperate first," the officer said quickly, seeing everyone crowding over to inquire about the cause.

Seeing the crowd surrounding, Lu Jingfeng struggled to stand. The Deputy City Lord quickly stepped in to support him, and upon touching Lu Jingfeng's body, realized the severity of his injuries—his right side was empty.

The clothes beneath were devoid of flesh and blood, and the Deputy City Lord's face involuntarily changed. What had they encountered to result in this?

Lu Jingfeng stopped the officer from speaking, saying, "It's alright, let's address everyone's questions first."

"Did you succeed?" The first to inquire was the principal of Beifeng Academy.

Lu Jingfeng's pale face showed no change as he replied calmly, "We failed. The enemy was far stronger than we imagined."

Upon hearing this, Beifeng City's City Lord sighed and stepped back, giving others the chance to ask questions.

Others' complexions turned somewhat grim upon hearing this. Such a significant loss, yet they hadn't succeeded.

The second person to inquire questioned what had happened to those who hadn't returned, something several families were very keen to understand.

Lu Jingfeng recounted what occurred within the black fog to everyone. The other injured had already gone to recuperate, leaving only him to endure his injuries and answer questions.

They had left Beifeng City and, upon entering the black fog, were attacked by demons within the fog. However, those attacking demons were not strong, and they easily dealt with them.
