Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 889 - 7: Emergency Rescue

After Changsun Gongyang was imprisoned, Bai Sheng ordered the city guards to open the city gates, allowing Yue Jinghua and the others to enter the city to discuss matters concerning Four Symbols City.

The Titan also temporarily docked outside the city.

With the Demon Army approaching, the city was already in a state of panic. While there was no movement in the Sun and Moon districts, the Star and Chen districts were already in chaos. Bai Sheng had no choice but to deploy city guards to help maintain order.

Yue Jinghua had anticipated this situation. To avoid unnecessary commotion, she instructed the group of escapees and Demon Beasts emerging from the Divine Ruins to camp outside the city first.

Aunt Chi Xi led the members of the July Mercenary Team to arrange accommodations for them. The escapees were manageable, able to enter the city with a slight tidying of their appearances, but the Demon Beasts posed a significant problem.

For nearly ten thousand years, the Divine Ruins had been like a sealed, isolated place, allowing entry but not exit. The Demon Beasts there were quite different from those outside. Most of these beasts had ferocious appearances and harbored great resentment towards Dark Practitioners of the Human Race. If not for Yue Jinghua’s restraining spiritual imprint, they might have mercilessly launched a city massacre.

Having explained basic matters, the Yue siblings went with Bai Sheng to the Bai Residence to discuss further issues related to Four Symbols City.

"You’ve caused a major disaster this time; in times of war, although the lineage of Changsun Gongyang is the most insignificant branch within the Chen Wu Clan, it’s still a direct relative of the Chen Wu Clan. Now, you’ve imprisoned it and humiliated it outside the city. If word reaches the Chen Wu Clan, it’ll surely bring a bloody storm," Bai Sheng’s words revealed to Yue Jinghua that despite all being from the Moon Plane, the Holy Beasts of the Moon Plane had a distinct hierarchy, divided into various schools and ranks.

The Moon Plane houses a wide variety of Holy Beasts, but among them, the most powerful are the Four Great Holy Beasts—Sun Dragon, Moon Tiger, Star Sparrow, and Chen Wu. The Sun Dragon Clan is the most numerous and correspondingly strongest. Depending on lineage and cultivation, Holy Beasts are further divided into Bronze Holy Beasts, Silver Holy Beasts, and Golden Holy Beasts, and even Platinum Holy Beasts and Super Platinum Holy Beasts.

Generally, Holy Beasts are Bronze Holy Beasts; those holding middle-level positions within clans are Silver Holy Beasts. Among clan members, Golden Holy Beasts are often talented individuals, and clan leader successors are often chosen from Golden Holy Beasts, while the four Holy Beast Clan Leaders are Platinum Holy Beasts. As for Super Platinum Holy Beasts, legendary Beast Gods attaining the Immortal Realm haven’t appeared for several million years.

Changsun Gongyang enjoys great fame as the City Lord of Four Symbols City in the Star Plane, but within the Chen Wu Clan, it’s a very ordinary Bronze Holy Beast, and the Holy Skills it practices from the Chen Wu Clan are quite weak. Moreover, the Chen Wu Clan isn’t skilled in attack, which allowed Yue Jinghua to easily capture it.

"To the Holy Beasts, Four Symbols City in the Star Plane is just like a barbaric land, utterly insignificant. With Emperor Demon Ying Wuya in slumber, the Demon Clan’s attacks are purely petty affairs. The Border Army, formed from Dark Practitioners of different continents in the Star Plane, is enough to fend off the Demon Clan. This is why Changsun Gongyang can firmly hold the position of City Lord in Four Symbols City for ten thousand years. It’s useless, but its prestige in Four Symbols City is decent. Currently, the city’s military defense is lax, mainly relying on Dan Realm experts in the Sun and Moon districts. Without Changsun Gongyang stepping forward, those Human Race experts won’t take action," Bai Sheng is worried about this point.

"This matter falls on me to persuade. As for the city guards inside Four Symbols City, I’ll need Military Advisor Bai to put in some thought. Huahua, can you organize the escapees and Demon Beasts into an army? A force of several thousand Demon Beasts and Dark Practitioners is a significant strength for the current Four Symbols City."

Yue Jinghua had the same intention. With the Nine Revolutions Moon Creation Technique at her disposal, she could use the Shura Moon to inspire the beasts’ morale and combat power.

However, the army of several thousand Demon Beast escapees may still be a drop in the ocean against the tens of thousands of the Dark Demon Army.

The group was in heated discussion when a city guard entered nervously, bringing news that exacerbated the situation: "Military Advisor Bai, a bad message came through the secret pathway."

The so-called secret pathway was arranged earlier by Changsun Gongyang for Xue Lingshang and Prince Yu Ji, allowing them to cross the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone and return to the Canglong Continent.

Upon receiving information that tens of thousands of the Demon Clan army were pressing at the borders, the two royal family members of the Dragon War Empire and Ruison Federation waiting for the Xuyang Trial results in Four Symbols City became key figures to protect.

Changsun Gongyang certainly had to ensure their safety, promptly escorting them respectively to empty ships returning to their countries. Moreover, it hoped these two would quickly mobilize top-tier Dark Practitioners from their countries to assist.

Initially, the secret pathway was very safe, and the ships from Dragon War and Ruison had smoothly crossed most of the Chaotic Hurricane Zone. Who knew that just when they were about to complete the crossing, a group of Dark Demon Beast Soldiers mysteriously appeared in the area.

They launched a vile Demon Clan Blood Curse, transforming the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone into a giant labyrinth.

The ships from Dragon War and Ruison struggled in the area for a day and night, yet were unable to find a way to break the formation, eventually resorting to use distress signals on the ships, seeking help from Four Symbols City.

"Terrible news, we cannot allow the two royal family members to fall into the hands of the Demon Clan. It seems we’ve underestimated the Second Prince of the Dark Demon Clan; there’s likely an insider of the Demon Clan in the city," Bai Sheng muttered with a frown.

"We’ve been to the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone; the Princess has shown me some gratitude, I should lead the July Mercenary Team to rescue the Princess and the people from Ruison," Yue Jinghua found out the escort group also included Helian Sheng.

Given Helian Sheng’s skills and the power of the Xuan Crystal Cannon, if they still can’t break through the Demon Clan’s Blood Curse Formation, then this battle situation is indeed dangerous.

Yue Minzhi pondered for a while and had no choice but to agree to Yue Jinghua’s request. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The situation in the city now doesn’t permit both siblings to leave Four Symbols City.

Yue Jinghua promptly returned to the Titan, informing the mercenary team about the Princess’s danger.

The team unanimously expressed their willingness to re-enter the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone.

"While interrogating the group of escapees from the Divine Ruins, I found among them someone who used to be a sky bandit. He’s skilled in piloting various empty ships. Let’s bring him along," Feng Buhui also recommended several escapees of good character and reliable strength.

Yue Jinghua selected several Demon Beasts with flying ability, adding the Titan, and an empty ship, to form a temporary rescue group, then headed towards the direction of the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone.
