Other than the Tai Yi Killing Array, Nie Li quickly laid down the Divine Thunder Killing Array. These two Killing Arrays were enough to cover a fifth of the City Lord's Mansion. Nie Li also left the control imprint in Ye Ziyun's and Ye Xiu's soul force. Therefore, aside from Nie Li, Ye Ziyun and Ye Xiu could also use the two great Killing Arrays.
"Nie Li, give the imprint for control of the two great Killing Arrays to the City Lord." Ye Xiu said to Nie Li, bitterly smiling. After all, Ye Zong was the real owner of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hmph hmph, passing it to someone like him who doesn't keep his promises at all, unless he comes to beg me, fat chance!" Nie Li snorted.
Ye Xiu understood that it was not an easy matter for Nie Li and Ye Zong to reconcile. How was this matter going to be resolved? Ye Xiu was also a little worried. After all, it was impossible for Ye Zong to pull down his face to beg Nie Li. But since he had already gotten an answer from Nie Li, he could go only back to report his job.
After Ye Xiu left, Nie Li continued to train in the yard.
The night gradually deepened.
The entire City Lord's Mansion fell into a dead silence, aside from the footsteps of the patrolling guards and the flapping of wings from the birds.
Nie Li was practising his Heavenly God technique and absorbing soul force. Within the night, the wave of the aura was like a whirlpool, revolving around and into Nie Li's body. Nie Li's cultivation speed was simply shocking. It was as though Nie Li, at this moment, had merged with the darkness.
At this moment, at a corner within the City Lord's Mansion, figures appeared one after another. They were all clothed in black, completely hidden in the darkness.
"Have you guys finished investigating? What are those pillars used for?"
"We're still unsure of that. We only know that that youngster activated the pillars and smashed Ye Zong to the ground."
"A youngster activated the pillars and actually defeated a Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualist like Ye Zong? How is that possible?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"No wonder Long Sha wants us to come and probe the City Lord's Mansion."
"With our current Dark Guild's strength, and since we've grasped some extraordinary techniques, eradicating Glory City isn't a difficult matter. Why is the Demon Lord still not going to take any action?"
"It's not difficult to eradicate Glory City? You're belittling Glory City too much! Those families of Glory City have been passed down for so long, how could they not have some counter methods? Three Major Families, seven Noble Families as well as some declining families. If it's really in danger of their clan's destruction, the power that they'll burst forth with is not to be underestimated! This time, we seven brought men over to attack the City Lord's Mansion, you guys have to be extremely careful and not be careless!" The leading black clothed man snorted, "Aside from destroying that Array, we must also capture that kid!"
"Big Bro doesn't have to worry. With the strength of us seven, even those Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualists won't be able to stop us."
The seven black clothed men had their bodies undergo some transformations. Black Fox, Flaming Tiger, Meerkat, Scarlet Snake, Snow Bear and Snow Wind Corpse Worm. After their bodies gained the features of these demon spirits, they hid within the darkness.
At this moment, in a Southern piece of land over at the City Lord's Mansion, this was the part of City Lord's Mansion that had the weakest defence. It was the City Lord Mansion's Martial Arts Field. Usually in the day, there would be many Fighters training here. At night, it was an empty space. Adding on to the fact that there were no buildings here, there wasn't much need to protect it.
Right now, there were sixty black clothed people gathering together, forming a circle with a circumference of dozens of meters in the central area. Over at the central area, the ground was carved with one complex inscription pattern after another.
These inscription patterns were shining with a type of strange blue light. It was extremely eye-catching in the night.
The sixty people were chanting a complex spell, making the inscription patterns light up one after another.
At this time, three patrolling guards walked over. They passed the corridor far away, saw the blue light and came here to check it.
"Who are you people, what are you people doing here?" The three guards weren't very alert. In their view, the City Lord's Mansion was an absolutely safe place. Who would dare to cause trouble in the City Lord's Mansion?
Suddenly, three figures appeared at their backs. *Puff puff* Fresh blood splattered all over.
These three guards were only at the Silver rank and those that had assassinated them were all at least Gold rank experts. They were caught off guard. Not even a sound was made and they fell into a pool of blood.
Those sixty people reacted as though nothing had happened, and continued chanting the spell.
Hong! Boom! Boom!
The ground was constantly cracking.
"Release! Abyss Demon!" One of the leading men shouted, his voice was nearly frantic. That blue light shone on his face, causing it to look especially sinister.
The robes on those sixty black clothed people fluttered without any wind, their bodies floated in midair.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surface of the Martial Arts Field was full of cracks. Wave by wave, lava emerged from the ground. A huge head rose up from the burning lava. The lava was tumbling, many small lava drops splashed onto the ground some distance away and turned into small fiery demons. Those little fiery demons roared, running in all directions. The places they ran past were left with burn marks.
A giant demon that was a dozen meters in height rose from the lava like an awakened giant. A huge set of wings grew on its back. Its hand was holding onto a giant flaming sword.
"Hahaha, wreak havoc! Abyss Demon!" The leading black clothed man madly laughed.
At this moment, the Abyss Demon suddenly opened those bell-like eyes of his. The giant flaming sword in his hand swung out. The leading black clothed men instantly perished within the flames, there wasn't even a scream.
Seeing this scene, the remaining sixty people were scared out of their wits, and immediately
bolted away.
After this Abyss Demon was summoned, there wasn't any way to distinguish enemies and allies. Everything in his eyes would be destroy without hesitation!
Boom! boom! boom!
A fire was raging. The southern side of the City Lord's Mansion was completely thrown into chaos.
Nie Li, who was currently training in Ye Ziyun's yard, suddenly opened his eyes when he felt the commotion over at the southern area. He looked towards the south. Over there, a fire radiated in all directions, shouts filled the skies. It seemed to be the midst of a battle.
Nie Li's heart felt a chill. 'Someone attacked the City Lord's Mansion? And even caused such a huge commotion?'
"Nie Li, what happened?" Ye Ziyun ran out of her building. Looking at the scene of fiery radiance far away, she was surprised. 'The City Lord's Mansion is under attack?'
Nie Li slightly knitted his brows. In his previous life, until the demon beasts attacked the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion hadn't experienced any attacks. It seemed that after his rebirth, it had caused a butterfly effect which led to this event. Although the guards over at the Southern area were extremely weak, there wasn't any important place over there. There wasn't any meaning in attacking that area!
The only explanation was that they were creating a diversion!
They were trying to attack the Southern area to lure the attention of the guards.
Then the real motive was...
Nie Li's eyes shone. The opponent's target, was without a doubt, him! In this period of time, the talent that he had shown was enough to catch the attention of the Dark Guild. Aside from the Dark Guild, the Sacred Family also had thoughts about killing him all this time!
'Hmph! Never imagined that the Dark Guild would be so willing to spend so much. They're willing to even attack the City Lord's Mansion to capture me!' Nie Li thought within his heart. He looked at Ye Ziyun and Nie Yu by the side and said, "Ziyun, help me bring Xiao Yu to the secret chamber and hide!"
"No!" Ye Ziyun firmly said. How could she do nothing when the City Lord's Mansion was under attack?
"You're only at 5-star Silver rank, not an opponent for these guys!"
"What about you?" Ye Ziyun said, anxiously.
"They are after me. However, I have methods to protect myself. I will lure them into the Tai Yi Killing Array and the Divine Thunder Killing Array and strive to kill a few of them!" Nie Li lightly smiled and said, "By now, you should know the power of the Tai Yi Killing Array and Divine Thunder Killing Array. Even your father was smashed to the floor by me!"
Ye Ziyun remained silent for a moment.
"Big brother Nie Li, I'm going with you!" Nie Yu's tender face had an unquestionable firmness.
"Xiao Yu, be good. You will not be of help to me if you follow me, you will drag me down! You first follow Big sister Ziyun. When Big brother Nie Li is done with them, I'll immediately come looking for you!" Nie Li looked at Ye Ziyun and said, "Ziyun, I'll leave Xiao Yu to you!"
Ye Ziyun looked at Xiao Yu and nodded with difficulty. She then brought Xiao Yu and ran towards the secret chamber in the yard.
As the daughter of the City Lord, Ye Ziyun's yard had a complete set of countermeasures. The secret chamber in the yard lead to Ye Zong's living area. Ye Ziyun understood that she couldn't be of help to Nie Li, and could only seek reinforcements from her father.
Nie Li took a glimpse at Ye Ziyun and Nie Yu's back figures, then immediately merged with the Shadow Devil demon spirit. His body rapidly transformed, blending into the darkness.
The dark night was simply the world of the Shadow Devil demon spirit!
At this time, over at the southern area, a large number of guards gathered. They were swinging their weapons, charging at those little flaming demons and soon entered into close combat battle. A large amount of these guards were all Fighters. Demon Spiritualists only took up a tenth of the numbers. However, those Demon Spiritualists rapidly merged with their demon spirits and became the main force in the battle.
