Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 827 - 229: Battle Against the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable! The Heart Demon Mirror Treasure! _2
"I can’t run... can’t move my legs; they simply won’t respond. How can such a demon appear inside the Imperial City? Where are the officials? The soldiers? What about our Dynasty’s Holy Fire Guard?"
"Relying on officials and soldiers, relying on the Holy Fire Guard, might not be as good as relying on your own two legs!"
"That’s... such a huge demon."
"..."
When the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, vast as a mountain, entered the view of the Great Yan commoners, it undoubtedly evoked an unprecedented tide of fear within them.
Had they ever witnessed such a scene?
Those who were able to run showed great mental fortitude, yet some commoners with weaker psyches had already collapsed, sitting paralyzed on the ground, unable to move. They could only gaze with a look of utter despair and helplessness at the colossal demons and devils in the distance.
Some with extremely poor mental strength simply rolled their eyes back and fainted from fear.
Wherever the eyes could see that demon, panic and chaos ensued.
Fear continued to spread through the hearts of everyone.
Even some cultivators on the streets looked in disbelief towards the distance, and even other Great Clans within the Great Yan Imperial City were stirred.
The appearance of a demon was truly beyond everyone’s expectations!
"What has happened with the Situ Family?" pondered the Family Head of another top-tier Great Clan, about thirty to forty li away from the Situ Residence, frowning as he looked into the distance: "Could it be that they are in cahoots with the demons and devils, then intend to do something to the Great Yan Imperial City?"
"No... they shouldn’t." The Family Head shook his head, dismissing his previous conjecture: "They shouldn’t be so foolish. Overthrowing a Dynasty with just a demon, how extremely difficult that would be, why would they do that?"
"Even if they could slaughter everyone within the Imperial Palace, what good would it do? If no one supports them, they cannot possibly ascend to that position."
"Even if they forcibly took that position, no one would aid them, everyone would just pay lip service."
But if the Situ Family did not harbor such intentions, then what did the appearance of such a demon signify?
The face of the Family Head was etched with seriousness.
"The Situ Family... has truly given us all a difficult puzzle. If such a demon rampages through the Imperial City, our family... may also suffer."
Saying this, the Family Head’s brows wrinkled deeply, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t worried.
Anyone with eyes could see how terrifying the demon was.
With such a huge form, one swipe of its paw could flatten the residence of their family.
Speaking of which, the current Situ Family...
What has happened to them?
If this demon wasn’t summoned by the Situ Family for some purpose... and if the demon held an irreconcilable grudge against the Situ Family, actually being in a hostile relationship... then the current Situ Family must be enduring a calamity not seen for over a thousand years, right?
Even if they survived such a calamity, they would be greatly weakened and likely unable to maintain their status amongst the top families, ultimately being surpassed by other Great Clans.
And if the Situ Family did not survive, it meant that a top-flow Great Clan would be completely erased from history.
"Even..." he considered the worst possibility: "Our Wu Family is not far from the Situ Family."
"Once the demon eradicates the Situ Family, the next one it targets..."
"Could it be our Wu Family?!"
"Hisss!"
The Family Head couldn’t keep his composure, immediately calling people over, with a series of orders being dispatched.
Basically, he ordered the members of his family to immediately evacuate the area, the farther from the demon the better.
He even ordered all ancestral tablets and spirit honorifics to be moved from the family shrine.
In case the demon tackled the Situ Family and then set sights on their Wu Family.
By then...
It would be too late to do anything!
There were many other Great Clans that reacted like the Wu Family, none of them had anticipated such an event would befall the Situ Family.
They also hurried to protect their own families.
To avoid this crisis.
The appearance of a terrifying demon affected everyone’s nerves; no one could ignore such a demon!
...
At the same time.
A squadron of the Forbidden Army Iron Cavalry galloped towards the Situ Family residence was also staring in horror at the demon. The massive figure of the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable exuded a huge sense of oppression, causing their battle steeds beneath them to become restless and anxious. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Demons and devils..." The leading Forbidden Army Commander reined in his steed, and with his movement, the once fierce cavalry slowly came to a halt.
"My lord!" one of the soldiers next to the Commander said anxiously, "Such a demon, if it rampages and slaughters within the Imperial City, the number of dead and injured commoners will be countless!"
"Indeed..." The Commander’s expression was grim: "What the hell is the Situ Family up to? Where did they find such a demon?"
