Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
9 looked at 324 with a deep gaze. As for 324’s plan, he was clear.
With the body of a human, he could control the Power of the Mountain God and form a unique vessel. As for whether it could succeed, it would depend on his methods.
“Go. Take down Mandrill City as soon as possible. Don’t worry about King Mandrill.”
“Yes, Lord 9!”
Following 9’s instructions, they left one after another and began to control the foreign races in their hands to attack Mandrill City.
All of a sudden, the Forest race retreated. If not for Kui Yuan leading a large number of the Mandrill race into battle, Mandrill City would probably have fallen.
“Hmph! Calamity Flag!”
Kui Yuan stood in Mandrill City, his eyes flickering. Fortunately, he came in time. Otherwise, these foreign races would have charged into the city.
Most importantly, he did not believe that these foreign races were controlled by the Thousand Hands race. He captured a few foreign races and realized that they were indeed the Hill Tiger and White Spirit races.
It was not what Kui Xing had said.
“Could it be…”
As Kui Yuan waved the flag in his hand, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
The black fog quietly drifted out of Mandrill City, but it was small and didn’t spread widely.
Yet, in a different part of Mandrill City, Li Xin’s heart quivered. A sense of unease crept over him, and his eyes darted around nervously.
Finally, he saw the black fog spreading down from Mandrill’s city wall. His pupils constricted before he found Song Yubai, Lin Zifeng, and company.
“Retreat! There’s something wrong with the black fog! ”
“If I’m not wrong, it should be the Calamity Flag!”
Li Xin’s eyes were solemn. When Song Yubai and the others heard this, their hearts sank. They ignored the enemy in front of them and retreated from the battlefield with their soldiers.
They had learned about the Calamity Flag from Xu Ding. The thought of it affecting people’s minds was the last thing they wanted to experience.
Unfortunately, it seemed like the Calamity Flag had indeed fallen into the hands of the Mandrill race and was used to deal with the foreign races and them.
If not for Li Xin who noticed and informed them in advance, they might have already been enveloped by the black fog.
When it came to the repercussions, they would certainly struggle to come to terms with them.
As the humans retreated, the Forest race in Mandrill City immediately felt the pressure eased. As for the other Mandrill race members, they did not head in their direction.
This was partly because Lin Zifeng and his companions had brought their troops but hadn’t launched a full-scale attack on Mandrill City. As a result, the Mandrill race did not lend them their support.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Damn the Hill Tiger race! Kill them!”
“White Spirit race, give it to me!”
As the black fog spread, new changes appeared on the battlefield. However, the Thousand Heads race did not care.
After all, even if there was internal strife, the ones who died were other foreign races. It could be said that the Thousand Heads race had been waiting for this moment.
“It’s starting. Attack the Mandrill race with all your might!”
A strange look flashed across 324’s eyes. Then, he placed his hands on his chest and quickly released a few hand seals before finally imprinting them on his forehead.
“Soul Split!”
As 324 moved, the few figures beside him used the same method.
“Soul Split!”
“Soul Split!”
While they moved, the centipede-like white worm swiftly divided in their minds and manifested invisibly above each of them.
“Destroy the Mandrill race!”
“For Father!”
“For Father!”
They roared. The soul power quickly condensed above their heads and charged toward the battlefield.
When these Soul Splits were ensnared within the bodies of the foreign races, figures began emerging from the earth one by one. Their eyes were tinged with a hint of red, exuding madness and a thirst for blood.
If Mei Changge witnessed this scenario, he might have mistaken it for the resurgence of zombies.
After all, the bodies of those foreign races had perished in the heat of battle, and they were drenched in blood. Each of them had a ferocious and menacing appearance.
“Huh?!”
Kui Yuan’s heart sank when he saw the dead bodies getting up again.
His unease didn’t stem from fear, but from the realization that the reanimated foreign races had remained unaffected by the Calamity Flag.
It was as if they had gone crazy. They kept attacking Mandrill City in an attempt to rush up.
“Mandrill race! Gather your bloodline power!
Kui Yuan’s expression was solemn as he shouted at the Mandrill race guarding the city wall.
Buzz!
A moment later, a large number of Mandrill race members began to mobilize the power of their bloodlines and tried to connect them to form the Power of the Mountain God.
“Kill !
Furious roars sounded on the battlefield, accompanied by screams.
Countless corpses crawled up fearlessly and surged toward Mandrill City like a violent zombie tide.
The Mandrill race did not expect such a situation. Even though they were in the Mountain God Hall, they seemed to be able to see Kui Xing outside Mandrill
City.
“Another one has been destroyed! Damn it!”
Kui Xing’s eyes flickered. Other than the changes outside Mandrill City, another white light on the roof of the Mountain God Hall dimmed and disappeared.
In a short day, seven white dots had been destroyed, which meant that seven Mountain Ghost Pillars had been lost.
“I can’t wait anymore! I have to activate the Mountain Ghost Devour Array! I hope King Mandrill won’t punish me for it!”
Kui Xing’s expression remained serious. Even though he lost seven Mountain Ghost Pillars, it was still enough to establish a spiritual formation. Waiting any longer would only result in further losses of the Mountain Ghost Pillars.
At this thought, Kui Xing no longer hesitated. With a solemn expression, he gently pressed his green-skinned palm on the ceiling.
Whoosh!
A surge of green light burst from its palm and swiftly shot toward the rooftop, instantly reaching the designated location within Mandrill City.
Buzz!
With Mandrill City’s location as the center, it quickly connected all the white spots of light.
At the same time, in the outside world, mysterious powers appeared in the Mountain Ghost Pillars that were rooted to the ground.
Black-green light covered the Mountain Ghost Pillars, and ghost faces appeared on them.
At that moment, Yan Zhen and Dong Hao were preparing to dig up a Mountain Ghost Pillar in front of them. Looking at the sudden change, their eyes revealed a solemn expression.
“Are we still doing it?”
Yan Zhen asked Dong Hao with a serious expression.
“Don’t stop! Use the military formation to suppress the power of this pillar!”
Although the two of them did not know what had happened, they still decided to dig out the pillar in front of them.
In an instant, the light red lotus suppressed the power of the Mountain Ghost Pillar, while Dong Hao quickly dug in his werewolf form.
Hiss… Roar…
As it was unearthed, it emitted a sound resembling the roar of a malevolent spirit. However, the peculiar power fluctuations on the pillar dissipated. “This is the eighth!”
Yan Zhen and the other man exchanged glances. This was the eighth pillar they had excavated. After uncovering it, they swiftly departed with their soldiers, showing no intention to remain.
As Kui Xing activated the Mountain Ghost Pillar, streams of Destiny power seemed to be absorbed by malicious ghosts and began to gather in the direction of Mandrill City.
9, who was hiding among the foreign races, sensed the change immediately. A trace of seriousness flashed across his eyes. Then, his figure flashed and he appeared in the sky.
“King Mandrill, come out!”
His voice was calm, but it sounded like an order as it traveled in the direction of Mandrill City.
“Why did Lord 9 come out?”
“Do I have to do it myself?”
When the Thousand Heads race saw Lord 9 standing in the air and shouting in the direction of Mandrill City, they could not help but reveal puzzled expressions.
In Mountain God Hall, Kui Xing looked into the depths of the hall with excitement and uneasiness.
Forcefully activating the Mountain Ghost Pillar and forming the spiritual formation still had some influence. He did not know if King Mandrill could use this formation to condense the Destiny Seed.
Thud! Thud!
Just as Kui Xing was feeling uneasy, a heavy voice sounded from the depths of the hall.
“King Mandrill!”
Kui Xing lowered his head, and the uneasiness in his heart intensified.
“It’s fine. After dealing with them, we still have a chance to expand our Destiny.
I’ve temporarily suppressed the curse.”
King Mandrill’s expression was calm. Although his eyes were filled with anger, he knew that Kui Xing had tried his best. Although he had been suppressing the curse in the Mandrill Pool, he knew everything about Mandrill City.
The loss of the Mountain Ghost Pillars had been an unfortunate incident.
Fortunately, the number lost was not significant, only eight in total.
Nonetheless, the accumulated divine power had already subdued the curse.
Unfortunately, he had also fallen from the Dharma realm.
“Leave the rest to me!”
With that said, King Mandrill’s huge figure disappeared from the Mountain God Hall. When he reappeared, he was above Mandrill City..
