Two days later, Lin Chen got off the plane. It was already late at night, and Bo City showed no signs of abnormality, which made Lin Chen feel relieved.
He took out his phone and called Mu Ningxue. Soon, a familiar voice answered from the other end.
"Hello, where did you go? Why couldn't I reach your phone?"
Mu Ningxue's gentle voice, though asking a question, felt incredibly comforting.
Lin Chen said, "I was just on the plane. Where are you now?"
"My dad and I are in the Imperial Capital!" Mu Ningxue said.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Then you should spend some quality time with your uncle. I have something to do; I'll contact you in a few days!"
"Okay, then you go ahead and be busy!"
After hanging up, Lin Chen dialed Tang Yue's number again.
"I've arrived in Bo City. Where are you now?" Lin Chen asked after hearing Tang Yue's voice.
"I'm at the Wei Fang Post Station. We just captured Bai Yang and are currently interrogating him!" Tang Yue said.
Lin Chen said, "Send me the address; I'm coming over to find you now!"
Tang Yue agreed without much thought!
Soon, Lin Chen hailed a car and headed towards the address Tang Yue sent!
Two hours later, Lin Chen reached his destination.
Outside the post station, that charming figure had already appeared.
"Why did you suddenly come?" Tang Yue asked happily, approaching Lin Chen after seeing him.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "I missed you, so I came to see you!"
Hearing that, Tang Yue gave a charming smile, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you today. Bai Yang is being stubborn and refuses to confess!"
Capturing Bai Yang was something Tang Yue had discussed with Lin Chen beforehand. Although Tang Yue had some clues in her investigation of Sa Lang, progress was slow, so she wanted to make a desperate move and take the initiative. As a High-level Mage nearing completion of the third tier, Tang Yue had sufficient self-preservation abilities.
After calculating the time, Lin Chen ultimately supported Tang Yue's idea. Although Bai Yang was a small fry, his destructive power was immense. Without Bai Yang, perhaps Yushui would not have died!
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's fine, work is important. Later, find me a place to cultivate for a while."
Tang Yue happily kissed Lin Chen and said, "So well-behaved! When I have free time, I'll definitely reward you properly!"
Under Tang Yue's arrangement, Lin Chen moved into the post station.
...
The next morning, as dawn broke, Lin Chen stood by the window, looking at the weather outside, and an uneasy premonition subtly arose in his heart.
"Is it coming?" Lin Chen muttered to himself!
An hour later, dark clouds gathered over Bo City, and a torrential downpour suddenly began. Those with keen senses could even detect a peculiar smell in the rain.
Just then, Tang Yue walked in, a hint of weariness on her charming face.
"That damned Bai Yang still won't confess!" Tang Yue complained.
"Didn't the Judgment Association send a Mind Element Mage?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
Tang Yue sighed and said, "They did, but as soon as the Mind Element Mage started the interrogation, Bai Yang foamed at the mouth and fainted."
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and the Black Beast Demon involuntarily came to mind.
Seeing Tang Yue's tired expression, he said, "You haven't slept all night; you even have dark circles. Go get some sleep quickly!"
Tang Yue snorted coldly and said, "Are you disgusted with me?"
Lin Chen shook his head, gently smoothed the hair from Tang Yue's forehead, and explained, "I'm not disgusted with you; I'm worried about you!"
Tang Yue gave a charming smile, hooked her slender fingers around Lin Chen's neck, and said, "That's more like it. I want to sleep holding you, okay?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, gently kissed Tang Yue, and said, "Okay..."
...
Although it was pouring outside, Tang Yue quickly fell asleep, clearly exhausted from a sleepless night.
Seeing this, Lin Chen slowly got up and stood on the balcony, observing the outside world.
An hour later, the outside had become noisy.
The post station's energy barrier suddenly lit up, forming a huge shield that completely separated the post station from the outside world.
Perhaps disturbed by the commotion outside, Tang Yue slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Lin Chen hazily, and asked, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Lin Chen said seriously to Tang Yue, "Yue Yue, no matter what happens next, do not leave the post station!"
Tang Yue asked, puzzled, "What exactly is happening outside?"
Lin Chen said, "Bo City might be in trouble. Remember what I said."
After speaking, a giant fiery red wing burst from Lin Chen's back. After a few gentle flaps, Lin Chen flew towards the distance.
Since he had already come to Bo City, Lin Chen naturally couldn't be so indifferent as to stand by and do nothing. After all, Bo City was his hometown.
"Be careful!" Realizing something was wrong, Tang Yue immediately got up and shouted loudly towards the already distant Lin Chen!
The heavy rain cast a pall over the entire Bo City. Just then, the blood-red alert was officially sounded throughout the city.
"What is that? Red light? No, that's blood-red light! It's the blood-red alert!!!"
"Oh my god, Bo City actually has a blood-red alert! Run!"
The moment the blood-red alert was sounded, even the torrential rain could not obscure the stark, blood-red light.
Everyone in the city was now looking at the dazzling blood-red light in the sky. Even though they had never seen such a color, it didn't prevent them from knowing what the blood-red light represented.
An unprecedented disaster had now descended upon Bo City. The appearance of the blood-red alert also meant that people at this moment could only rely on their own strength to survive; no one else could be relied upon!
All sorts of negative emotions arose, and the entire Bo City fell into complete chaos, a jumbled mess. Everyone was fending for themselves, frantically fleeing towards the An Boundary!
Those close to the An Boundary could successfully escape into it, but many of those far from the An Boundary had already become food for the demons on the way!
Lin Chen, in the sky, saw the situation below and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He quickly descended mid-air, waving the Two-Yin Sword in his hand, continuously releasing magic.
Wherever Lin Chen went, there was chaos, but the terrified people miraculously survived, expressing praise and gratitude to Lin Chen.
Amidst the praises, Lin Chen set off again, flying towards the most dangerous part of Bo City.
Along the way, Lin Chen made his utmost effort to help the ordinary people.
But an individual's power was still limited. As more and more bodies appeared along the way, even the typically stoic Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
The heavy rain continued to pour, and the gloomy sky shrouded the entire Bo City in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
From time to time, heart-pounding roars could be heard not far away, sending shivers down one's spine.
An hour later, Lin Chen stumbled and finally entered Bo City.
By this time, Bo City was already occupied by thousands of demons, and demons could be seen everywhere, constantly devouring human corpses.
