"What?!"
Wan Lei sat up abruptly, his eyes wide.
"The Liu family is slaughtering the southern citizens? What's going on?"
"For the past three days, the Liu family and the demon army have mobilized. Within the Liu family's territory, whether it were sects, families, or cities, they have all suffered inhumane slaughter and plunder.
The enemies, whether alive or dead, were all taken away."
"Are they seeking revenge on me? Killing so many people just to show me? To warn me?"
Wan Lei, who had just woken from his coma, was still a little groggy and hadn't grasped the reason behind this matter.
"Didn't I just say? Because you destroyed the Blood Immortal Realm, and they have no more corpses or blood qi for cultivation, they are wantonly capturing people to kill and rebuild the Blood Immortal Realm.
This Liu Naiweng has truly gone mad in his pursuit of becoming an immortal."
"It's all my fault, if it weren't for me..."
"Shut up. Don't blame yourself for the evil deeds of the enemy; it's not you who told them to kill.
Adjust your mindset. There are still many things to do. You can't be in this state. Don't live in guilt."
The most important thing for a person is to act with a clear conscience, but if you feel guilty, then persuade yourself not to.
"I know, it's just a moment of regret. Immediately gather the army and march into the Liu family's territory to intercept the enemy and protect those citizens."
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. Under Xi Renjun's deployment, the armies of the Thunder Emperor Alliance have already gathered and been dispatched to the Liu family's territory to intercept the enemy."
"Thank you for your hard work. Fortunately, I have you."
Wan Lei gently embraced Fang Xiaoyu.
"I didn't do much, I just gave the orders. I've been here all this time. It's Xi Renjun who worked hard.
You were in a coma for a while, and the entire Thunder Emperor Hall and the alliance were in a panic, fearing that something might happen to you, leading to the collapse of the newly established anti-demon system.
Now that you've woken up, please show yourself up front to stabilize people's hearts."
"Alright, I'll go now."
Central Region,
Southern part,
Within the Liu family's territory,
On a mountain outside a city.
Hong Lian was propped up against the edge of a cliff, with his inseparable good brothers, Feng Bing and Wang Fei, on either side.
The legends of the three lucky brothers, favored by the goddess of fortune, continued to circulate in the Central Region.
Some said that these three were children of destiny, able to retreat from any danger unscathed. Even in battles, they only sustained minor injuries and were unharmed.
Some said that these three had the aura of protagonists, always encountering opportunities, and their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, making them comparable to the geniuses of the major powers in the Central Region.
Others said that these three were lucky by association with Hall Master Wan, and were not particularly fortunate themselves, merely benefiting from Hall Master Wan's immense power and grace.
In short, there were all sorts of opinions, but they all revolved around the topic of the three brothers' luck.
However, only the three of them knew that they were lucky every moment, and only when they met Hall Master Wan did they become very unlucky.
Previously, the good brothers analyzed that Hall Master Wan's luck suppressed their own luck. In the entire Thunderwind Realm, only Hall Master Wan could suppress them, which was why they became unlucky when they met him, as their luck was no longer effective, and Hall Master Wan was even luckier.
Later, after joining the Thunder Emperor Hall, leveraging their acquaintance and good relationship with Hall Master Wan, the three, with their Nascent Soul realm cultivation, obtained official positions, becoming captains of scouts. They were always fortunate enough to obtain important intelligence for the Thunder Emperor Hall.
While receiving rewards, their status also rose steadily.
It was at this time that they realized that they didn't have bad luck when they met Hall Master Wan. Instead, it was a buildup of fortune, a reward after hardship, and a greater fortune descending upon them.
Without Hall Master Wan, with their aptitude and cultivation, how many years would it have taken them to join a major power? Even if they did, those powers would likely have treated them as cannon fodder, deploying them at the forefront during battles.
But after following Hall Master Wan, they not only held high positions but also had access to many resources. Even their families received protection.
"Better to be a dog in peace than a man in chaos."
In the context of the great war against the demon invasion of the Central Region, it was too difficult for ordinary weak people to survive.
What was most important to them was the opportunity to join the anti-demon front, make contributions, and etch their names in history.
At this moment, the three of them were reunited, their mission being to scout a large city in the northern part of the Liu family's territory.
This city was the capital of a country, and it had been easily captured by the Liu family and the demons. They were not fighting so much as being slaughtered.
Their task was to investigate the enemy's numbers and scale here, report it to the Thunder Emperor Hall, and then the Thunder Emperor Hall would make corresponding arrangements and dispatch troops to provide support.
At present, within the city, flames raged, and cries of agony were incessant. Millions of people were being slaughtered by tens of thousands of Liu family demon coalition forces.
This small country was utterly incapable of resisting a behemoth like the Liu family.
"We have to save the Country Lord. He can then rally the cultivators in the country to defect to our Thunder Emperor Hall."
"Do we still need to rally them? In the current situation, with the Liu family's territory in turmoil, who knows how many cultivators have already fled north."
"That's just cultivators. What about the common people? Are we going to abandon so many commoners to their fate?"
"Come on, do you know how vast the Liu family's territory is? It would take years for commoners to walk to the Thunder Emperor Hall's domain. By then, the war would be over."
"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. But at least we should go save people, one by one if possible. Those people are really foolish, aren't they? They don't know how to run.
If we save the Country Lord, there are still many cultivators in this country who haven't retreated north. It's not wrong for him to rally these people to join the Thunder Emperor Hall, right?"
"That's too dangerous. Tens of thousands of troops. How can we rescue the Country Lord from the enemy's midst? It's impossible. We'll be cut down before we even get close."
"Have you forgotten our luck? These mere tens of thousands of troops are like straw. We'll charge into the enemy ranks and seize the general's head...
That's a bit too boastful. Don't worry, we've weathered so many storms, why fear this little skirmish?
We must believe in our luck."
"Fine then, let's go."
"Let's do this. We won't wait for reinforcements."
"Let's go."
The lucky good brothers immediately set off, flying towards the city.
As if by fate, they were indeed lucky. Lying on the hillside not far from the city without any cover, not a single enemy discovered them.
The three of them brazenly "sneaked" towards the city and soon flew into it.
Upon entering the city, the three of them cautiously flew at low altitude, traversing the streets and heading towards the imperial palace.
