Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1152 - 1091: Moonlight City

Back when the Blood Demon was still known as Bloody Night, Liu Ying, he received his teachings here in the Half-Beast Holy Land, just like countless other ordinary Half-Beastmen, unnoticed and unknown.

Now, he has become the exalted Ninth Great Demon King. When the Seven Archdemons invaded, it was he who personally convinced the Half-Beastmen Clan to join them. His position within the clan has now surpassed that of the chieftain.

However, on the surface, the chieftain is still the leader. The Blood Demon’s identity is too sensitive to be publicly exposed, or else it would immediately reveal that the Half-Beastmen have fallen into a Corrupted Race, and inevitably, all the powers in The Second World would launch a crusade against them.

The recent attacks on the Hero Empire’s trade ships were orders he personally gave. He is beginning his revenge against Huang Yi.

At this moment, the Blood Demon was reclining on the main seat, squinting as he looked at the Chieftain Barbarian Saint, and said, "Chieftain, back when you went to the Hero’s Continent, you should have nipped that disaster, the God of Slaughter, in the bud. Now that he has grown to this point, dealing with him is no longer easy."

"I deeply regret this matter as well," the chieftain shook his head with a sigh. "When I was about to kill him, the Vice President Divinr Marksman Ica from the Oskan Royal Academy suddenly appeared and saved the God of Slaughter’s life, so I had to endure."

"Divinr Marksman Ica, huh?" the Blood Demon sneered, "He won’t live long. The Tenth Great Demon King will soon go and kill him. The Oskan Royal Academy cannot stop our Demon Clan from destroying The Second World. Next time, when we descend again, it will be the end of The Second World."

As they were discussing, a hurried footstep suddenly came from outside, and an elderly woman with crane-white hair and chicken skin quickly walked in.

This elderly woman was draped in a vivid robe, holding a crystal staff in her hand, wearing a majestic shaman headpiece. At this moment, her face was full of anger and alarm, her body trembling slightly, even her walking was somewhat unsteady.

As soon as she entered the grand hall, she tremulously spoke: "It’s bad! It’s bad! Sarantu, he... he was killed by the God of Slaughter!"

"What?" The Chieftain Barbarian Saint stood up abruptly, staring at the elderly woman in disbelief, "Say that again?"

The elderly woman swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "Just not long ago, a team of Heaven-Sent Tribe under Sarantu discovered the God of Slaughter’s whereabouts. He immediately transmitted over, intending to kill the God of Slaughter, and even brought that Ancient Battle Flag, yet he was just counter-killed by the God of Slaughter."

"This... how is this possible?" The Barbarian Saint sat back down dazedly, murmuring, "Sarantu has the strength of the Two Steps Heaven, considered a super master in the Central Continent. How could the God of Slaughter have the ability to kill him? Moreover, Sarantu brought that Ancient Battle Flag, there’s no way the God of Slaughter could have been his opponent! Even if Sarantu couldn’t beat him, could he not run away? This can’t be true, this must be a false rumor! Sarantu can’t possibly be dead!"

"This is the absolute truth! Sarantu’s Life Token has shattered!" The elderly woman said as she shook her hand, revealing a shattered jade plaque.

Seeing the shattered jade plaque, the Barbarian Saint’s face rapidly turned deathly pale, as if his soul had suddenly left him.

"I really didn’t expect the God of Slaughter’s strength to have reached such a level, that even the Great Elder could be killed!" Just then, the Blood Demon’s gloomy voice also rang out. He sat up straight, touching his chin, and said, "I shouldn’t show my face publicly right now, or I’d immediately go kill him. By all means, we need to make some changes to our plan against the God of Slaughter. If you could lure him to this Half-Beast Holy Land, that would be best. With the formations here in the Holy Land and many of the treasures inherited, we would certainly be able to take him down..."

...

Huang Yi’s true self quickly returned to the Central Continent.

He teleported through a public teleportation array directly to a mid-sized city in the south frontier of the Central Continent named "Moonlight City." This city boasted a refined deep-water port and was traversed by a river running straight to the heart of the Central Continent, offering a superior transit location. It is one of the more renowned port cities along the southern coast of the Central Continent.

This location was chosen long ago by analysts from the Hero Empire and Huang Yi together. Incorporating it into the Hero Empire’s dominion would greatly support the Hero Empire’s future development on the Central Continent.

However, the city belonged to a hereditary family’s domain, an owned territory, so Huang Yi couldn’t simply annex it as Hero Empire’s territory. He needed to negotiate with the city lord to get them to join the Hero Empire.

As soon as he teleported to the city, the noise of the bustling crowd immediately reached his ears. The city’s teleportation array was established on a high ground, and upon looking around, the whole city sprawled below, with a cluster of buildings arranged in neat rows and interconnected streets bustling with vigor, full of countless voices, lively and vivid. People in various attires from different races coexisted harmoniously here. In the distant coastal port, ships were coming and going in a constant stream, with the docks piled high with cargo, and the shrill sound of ship horns was unceasing. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

However, amidst this bustling city, there were certain areas that had evidently suffered damage, with some areas’ rubble still not cleared. These areas resembled scars, marring the city’s beauty.

Huang Yi immediately flew toward the city’s most central area, where the tallest building stood, which was the City Lord’s Mansion! Once he persuaded the City Lord’s Mansion to join the Hero Empire, he could plant the national flag there.

His speed was swift, slicing through the sky like lightning, as the city below rapidly receded backward, forming a blurred illusion.

Before long, he arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion and landed at the entrance.

The guards at the City Lord’s Mansion entrance immediately stopped him with vigilant expressions, yet sensed a faint aura of a Top-Level Sky Domain Expert from Huang Yi and respectfully said, "Dear friend, this is the Moonlight City Lord’s Mansion. May we know your business here?"

"I am the God of Slaughter. I wish to see your city lord to discuss an important matter," Huang Yi straightforwardly revealed his identity. He is a well-known figure in The Second World, and hearing his name, either players or NPCs would certainly take him seriously.

"Ah?! You are the God of Slaughter?!" The Guard Captain looked Huang Yi up and down in shock, then bowed, saying, "Please wait a moment, I will go report to the city lord immediately." After saying this, he rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Within just a few minutes, the Guard Captain rushed back out. Along with him came a middle-aged man dressed in noble attire, who seemed to be a significant figure in the city, but at this moment personally came out to welcome him.
