Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 446 - 325: Monster

Outside the Glory Sports Center.

More than fifty thousand people have gathered together; some didn’t manage to buy tickets, and some couldn’t afford them, but this didn’t affect people’s enthusiasm in the slightest.

People gathered together, watching the big screens on the outer walls of the sports center, erupting into bursts of cheers whenever something exciting happened. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even though it was already late at night, Shangjing was still filled with excitement and restlessness.

The bars and shopping malls were crowded, even more bustling than during the New Year.

This bustle made the patrollers on the streets somewhat headache-ridden; they had already received a yellow alert notification, but the public wasn’t aware.

In Shangjing, a hundred meters up in the sky, over a hundred figures were either floating in the void or flapping their wings.

"Choosing today, what exactly do those rats plan to do?"

Looking at the skyscrapers flashing with neon lights and the crowds visible everywhere, a Guardian frowned and asked uneasily.

In the past two days, although nothing substantial had been discovered, all signs indicated that something big was about to happen.

Today, many strong individuals were gathered, yet even so, those rats still chose today recklessly.

Guardian Zhan Xing also expressed concern:

"The crowd is too large, and it’s densely gathered; should we issue a city-wide alarm? Otherwise, if something actually happens, the consequences will be severe!"

Many strong individuals remained silent.

Soon, someone said, "Let’s wait a bit longer; a city-wide alarm has too large of an impact."

Issuing a city-wide alarm on such a day would surely cause massive panic among the populace.

People, living in the Base City, seemed to live securely under the protection of the Guardian Divine Artifact, free from Demon Beast attacks, but in reality, they didn’t feel very secure.

The majority of people were aware that the situation wasn’t optimistic. They were simply powerless to change it, so they diverted attention and didn’t think about it.

The news also deliberately avoided reporting on this to prevent panic.

Once panic occurred, it would cause not insignificant chaos.

This is Shangjing.

The political center of the nation, with the strongest overall strength and most strong individuals among the Base Cities.

If something happens here, it’s far more serious than in other Base Cities.

Moreover, tonight, it gathered the attention of the entire nation; if something actually happens, word would spread across the nation instantly, and there would be no hiding it.

If it turns serious, at that point, all industries would be impacted and affected.

People wouldn’t feel like working, they’d rush to buy living supplies, prices would rise, and the most severe manifestation would be a significant drop in birth rates in the following years.

Due to fear, people wouldn’t want to get married or have children.

As parents, they wouldn’t want their children to live in an era where even safety couldn’t be guaranteed.

Thus, without reaching the last step, no one dared to lightly issue the order to activate a city-wide alarm.

"I fear it’s another retaliation against Lin Feng and the seven others."

A middle-aged man in casual clothes suddenly said.

He was also a Guardian of Shangjing, named Chen Xingtian.

His tone was calm, showing no displeasure, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words.

"Indeed, after killing so many Alien Race talents, the Alien Race surely wants revenge. Maybe tonight, they’re the target." Someone chimed in.

"Chen Xingtian, I’ve disliked you for a long time; don’t speak with double meanings. When Alien Race talents killed Human Race talents, why didn’t you retaliate? Why can’t Lin Feng and his group retaliate?

You, as a Guardian, have lived comfortably these years, how many Aliens have you killed? The strength of Lin Feng and the seven is weaker than yours, yet any one of them has a more glorious record than you."

At this moment, an old man with white hair sneered at Chen Xingtian.

Despite the mockery, Chen Xingtian remained unfazed, merely shaking his head:

"I became a Guardian through strength and achievements; at forty-seven, I’ve killed nearly as many Aliens as you. There’s no need to provoke me; I’m just discussing the matter at hand."

"Discussing the matter at hand? I see you have a very bad tendency."

The old man snorted coldly, his tone disdainful.

These words made quite a few people’s faces change slightly.

Whether favoring the Alien Race or the "New World," the consequences would be very dire.

This time Chen Xingtian couldn’t keep calm, his expression angry: "I think you’re the one with double meanings; did I say something wrong..."

"Enough! Arguing at this time?"

As the two argued, a woman reprimanded.

The woman was clearly of high status; as she spoke, the arguing immediately stopped.

The woman looked at Yang Qingtian: "Elder Yang, what do you think? Is a city-wide alarm necessary?"

As the Patriarch of the Yang Family, with the strength of the Peak of Martial King, having once been a Guardian himself, Yang Qingtian’s words carried more weight and persuasiveness than the average Guardian’s.

Yang Qingtian was silent for a while and didn’t answer directly because even he didn’t dare to easily suggest.

"Any new information?" He asked.

Someone behind him replied: "No new information, but it’s been confirmed that Aliens have infiltrated Shangjing, and it’s not just one person, but their purpose is still unclear."

"There really are Aliens unafraid of death; since that’s the case, a city-wide alarm then. The Aliens have shown up; tonight’s commotion won’t be small."

A glimmer of killing intent flashed in Yang Qingtian’s eyes, his tone icy.

The Aliens daring to enter a Base City were undoubtedly not small fry; small fry wouldn’t have the ability.

Only with the Alien Race leading, would those rats have the audacity to come out.

While many strong individuals were discussing.....

The residence of the Hong Race, ranked second among the Ten Great Clans in Shangjing, welcomed an uninvited guest.

The Hong Clan, ranking second among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, had a comprehensive strength even stronger than the Yang Race.
