Chapter 2371 - 2370: Blood for Blood
Dragon Whale Daoist, for his meritorious service in protecting the sect, was equally rewarded by Long Fei, who gave him the Demon Core of the Ancient Crocodile Celestial Venerable.
The Ancient Crocodile Celestial Venerable was already close to the stage of Dragon Transformation, just one step away from a True Dragon.
Dragon Whale Daoist also cultivated the Dragon Blood lineage, making the inheritance of the Ancient Crocodile Celestial Venerable perfectly suitable for him.
The disciples were dazzled, not knowing how much treasure Long Fei had.
Some whispered among themselves, saying that they must strive to earn points in the future to receive the best rewards from the sect.
Long Fei tried to care for each disciple before finally calling Ji Wanrong alone to a nearby pavilion in the garden.
Ji Wanrong’s pretty face blushed with shyness. After such a long time apart, being alone with him still felt a bit unfamiliar.
Long Fei poured Peach Blossom Wine, filling her cup, and said, "Have some of this wine; it nourishes Yin and replenishes Qi, which is good for the baby inside you."
Ji Wanrong nodded, lifted the cup, and took a sip.
Long Fei asked, "How many cities on the mainland are still holding on?"
Ji Wanrong replied, "Only the Southern Capital City in the South Yangtze Prefecture is left. We just received urgent reports from the front line, saying Ji Xiaolian and the others are having a hard fight. The Demon Soldiers have wiped out the resistance forces in the Southern Ridge and North Yangtze and are continuously reinforcing their numbers at the Southern Capital City. I’m afraid I must depart tomorrow to return to the Southern Capital City and fight alongside the soldiers."
Long Fei drank a cup of wine and said, "I’ll accompany you tomorrow. We need to resist the Demon Race, and relying solely on the power of the Great Xia Country won’t suffice. We must unite all the forces of the Nine Domains."
Ji Wanrong said, "I know, and I have communicated with Emperor Zhang Ziling from Immortal King Star. However, Tianzhu Mountain connects only once every six months, making large-scale cooperation impossible."
Long Fei reassured her, "I have a solution for this matter, so you need not worry."
He held Ji Wanrong’s jade hand, giving her some confidence, "The start may seem unfavorable, but it doesn’t mean we can’t defeat the Demon Race. The Demon Army currently only occupies a path in the Human Realm; reinforcements from the Netherworld can’t come. We will stall them with time, and the final victory will surely be ours."
Ji Wanrong’s palm tightened slightly, a touch of crimson appearing on her face as she shyly lowered her head and said, "I trust you."
Seeing her embarrassed, Long Fei did not tease her further.
He retracted his hand and took out two treasure mirrors, making them hover in the air, and handed them to Ji Wanrong, saying, "This magical treasure is a gift I specially prepared for you."
Ji Wanrong curiously observed the two bronze mirrors with the same patterns and asked, "What is this? A makeup mirror?"
Long Fei chuckled, "You can use it for makeup if you like."
He introduced them to Ji Wanrong, "This is the magical treasure of your Ji Family’s King of Humans, called the Yin Yang Void Mirror. The Yin Mirror can look into the past, and the Yang Mirror can predict the future; it’s a magical treasure of time."
"So magical?"
Ji Wanrong, filled with wonder, took it and looked repeatedly into the mirror.
Long Fei extended his hand, casting the Law of Time into Ji Wanrong’s Divine Sea.
He told Ji Wanrong, "This item requires an understanding of the Law of Time to comprehend. You’ll understand as much as you can. If you ultimately can’t use this treasure, just pass it down to your descendants."
"Got it!"
Ji Wanrong, feeling joyful, received the mirrors, not paying too much attention to them.
What she cared about was Long Fei, and as long as she could have a conversation with him, it was enough.
She told Long Fei, "I feel the little one in my belly has suddenly grown a lot and will probably be born soon."
"Let me see!"
Long Fei placed his hand on her belly, sensing the same protective aura around the child.
Previously, he couldn’t see clearly.
Now Long Fei could distinctly feel that a small life had taken shape inside.
With the changes in the world, this little one seemed ready to be born.
He withdrew his hand and smilingly told Ji Wanrong, "She will be coming out soon."
Ji Wanrong urgently asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Long Fei inquired, "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Ji Wanrong replied, "I like both, as long as the child is healthy."
Looking at her, perhaps brought closer by the child, Long Fei felt a warmness in his heart and said, "Just like you, both are girls."
Ji Wanrong blinked at him, came back to her senses, and joyfully clenched her small fists, smiling from ear to ear.
"Girls are good, they aren’t rowdy!"
Ji Wanrong touched her belly, her face blossoming with joy.
Seeing her happiness made Long Fei happy too.
The two chatted for a while about the specific situation in the Great Xia Country, where after the Demon Calamity erupted, Demon Soldiers appeared in all the prefectures and counties.
During that time, Ji Wanrong was truly at her wits’ end.
The Demon Army besieged Chang’an City, and Ji Wanrong thought she might never see Long Fei again.
The Capital City’s Imperial Army and the experts who sat in command around her all perished.
Inside and outside the city, the blood flowed like a river.
In the end, it was Lin Yingying who fought desperately to rescue her, allowing her to continue leading the Human Race in battle against the Demon Race on this island.
Long Fei could visualize the fierce battle scene back then, his body surged with killing intent, shattering the cup on the table.
Ji Wanrong was startled by him.
He calmed himself, stood up, and said, "Tomorrow, we will make the Demon Race pay in blood, avenging our fallen brothers and sisters."
Southern Capital City in the South Yangtze Prefecture, the most prosperous city in the Great Xia Country.
Before the Demon Calamity erupted, the economy here had surpassed the entire Great Xia Country combined.
Other countries in this world, nearly a hundred, had set up offices in the Southern Capital City, conducting business and trade activities.
The city walls of the Southern Capital City were constructed from the beginning with the highest defense level, towering a hundred meters.
The insides of other city walls were filled with rammed earth, while the Southern Capital City’s walls were cast with iron, poured with molten iron.
Equipped with various large-caliber defensive artillery on the city walls, giant battle armor was positioned inside each Weng City as mobile forces.
After the Demon Calamity erupted, Ji Wanrong knew that Chang’an City couldn’t be defended, so she concentrated all forces onto the Southern Capital City.
The location allowed it to form a mutual angle with Jade Island via sea route.
The Demon Race suffered significant losses against this hard nut; every attack on the Southern Capital City was met with Lin Yingying leading Jade Island cultivators to raid the Demon Race’s rear.
This time, the Demon Race surrounded the Southern Capital City, simultaneously attacking Jade Island, aiming to completely capture the Southern Capital City.
At dusk, exhausted soldiers donned advanced nanometer-level battle suits, each leaning against the city wall, resting while holding their Aurora Guns.
The bloodstains on the city walls had not yet dried, and below, a layer of Second Generation Demon Race corpses lay strewn.
The First Generation Demon Race was not numerous and went to attack other stars of the Nine Domains.
Thus, the vanguards attacking the Southern Capital City were mostly Human Race traitor troops and Second Generation Demon Soldiers.
The soldiers responsible for cleaning up the battlefield poured kerosene below the city walls, planning to ignite it after the Demon Race initiated an attack tomorrow, using these Second Generation Demon Race corpses as fuel to block them.
Everyone’s faces showed a trace of fatigue, uncertain if they would still be alive in the world after tomorrow.
The war was too brutal; everyone knew the current situation.
All regions of the Great Xia Country had already fallen, leaving only the Southern Capital City.
Once the Demon Army fully assembled by tomorrow, all they had left was a lonely city; its fall was only a matter of time.
